November Doesn't Mean Autumn In Brunei

Autumn Sky

When you hear November, most people think autumn leaves, chilly winds and moleskin boots. So NOT the case in Brunei!

 

Merciless heat and monsoon winds sounds more like it as we approach the end of the year.

 

But, anyway, it's just a passing thought on November.

 

It's just that I've realised that Orchid Row has passed the 6-month mark recently and I can't believe how fast time has gone by! I'm planning something fun for everyone to do for next year, most likely some time in May, for Orchid Row's one-year anniversary.

 

In the meantime, please continue to visit the site! :)

 

I Won A Goodie Bag!

Hi Manisha! :)

Last month, I participated in a little contest held by Manisha. She asked for comments or suggestions on what we'd like to read on her blog and the best comment will win a goodie bag from her.

 

She just started this blog, so thought I'd just make some suggestions just to help. Didn't think I'd actually win anything.

 

But surprise, surprise! Although there's supposed to be only one winner, she thought I should have a special mention for my comment, so I also won a goodie bag! Yay!

Got my goodies in the mail, since Manisha is living in Singapore at the moment. So curious about what's inside the small brown package!

 

Stuck my hand inside and pulled out the goodies! Hehe, it may not seem much to you. But I absolutely LOVE gifts, and no matter what it is, I think the REAL gift is the surprise.

Beauty Rush Lip Gloss and a cute blue flower pin. :D

Thanks, Manisha! Will be trying out the lip gloss tomorrow. :)

 

So, people, go and visit my friend's, Manisha, blog. She grew up in Brunei for 17 years and is currently studying in Singapore. She also runs a blogshop (Cloz8 Collections) AND recently opened a storefront at Grandlink Square, Singapore, which I think is really cool.

 

Ok, people, gonna go try out the lip gloss now. Toodles!

 

Tell me if you'd join a blog competition on Orchid Row.

    Thank you so much for the special mention, and it was a pleasure crowning you one of the winners. So glad you liked the gifts.

    I shall wait for your one year anniversary (hopefully I'll be in Brunei -- party time!).. Haha.

    Thanks again. It's been an honour knowing you and reading your fun-filled entries.

    Cheers!
