Kesian my blog... Jarang update now. Dont know why, maybe I am too lazy huhu..
Anyway, just want to post about hubby and my trip to Tamu Tutong. Our very first time although we knew about this place for quite a while. In fact we passed by this area every day when we worked in Seria but we never dropped by to see whats going on.
Tamu Tutong is a market. Selling everything under the sun! It only opens every thursday thus this is a much awaited market from the locals alike. When it opens every thursday thousand of people throng here. Its very alive and so much activities. Long queue of cars and crowded. The place is very convenient although to reach the area it took quite a while because of the long queue of cars.
We left home around 7am last thursday and reached the market around 8am, slightly delayed because of some functions organised by a Kampong Masjid to mark the first day of Hijrah, and we were caught in a traffic before we reached here. And another long queue awaited us before we could reach the destination.
There were already a long queue and it took us approx 30minutes before we reached the Tamu. By that time, the place was already buzzing. I didnt know what time the market started. Maybe around 6 in the morning. So many cars and luckily we managed to get a good spot. And we did the walkabout for almost 2 hours! I was so hiped, I enjoyed looking at the various things people were selling. I mean they sold everything but mostly vegetables and fruits since its fruit seasons now!
Its fun and we will sure be back! Now on to some pictures.
