Mooncake Festival
22.09.2010
The Mid-Autumn Festival, also known as the Moon Festival which is a popular harvest festival celebrated by Chinese dating back over 3,000 years to moon worship in China's Shang Dynasty. It is also sometimes referred to as the Lantern Festival or Mooncake Festival. The Mid-Autumn Festival is held on the 15th day of the eighth month in the Chinese calendar, which is usually around late September or early October in the Gregorian calendar. It is a date that parallels the autumnal equinox of the solar calendar, when the moon is supposedly at its fullest and roundest. The traditional food of this festival is the mooncake, of which there are many different varieties.
The Mid-Autumn Festival is one of the few most important holidays in the Chinese calendar. Traditionally on this day, Chinese family members and friends will gather to admire the bright mid-autumn harvest moon, and eat moon cakes under the moon together.

中秋節，是春節的第二大傳統節日。中秋之夜，古人把圓月視為團圓的象徵，因此稱八月十五為"團圓節"。古往今來，人們常用"月圓"、"月缺"來形容"悲歡離合"、客居他鄉的遊子，更是以月來寄託深情。
關於中秋節的起源，中國各地都有不同的說法，也流傳著如"嫦娥奔月"、"月神生日"等神話故事。古代帝王有春天祭日、秋天祭月的祭典，民間也有中秋祭月之風。對於秋天豐收的喜悅和感恩，酬神祭祖，向月神祈年、祈生育，將月神女性化、大母神化和秋分之夜望月占年，都是構成後世中秋節習俗的重要內容，並先於戰國時代的楚國形成雛形。中秋賞月的風俗在唐代極盛，許多詩人的名篇中都有詠月的詩句，宋、明、清諸朝宮廷和民間的拜月賞月活動更具規模。到了後來，賞月重於祭月，嚴肅的祭祀變成了輕鬆的歡娛。每當中秋月亮升起，人們將月餅、石榴、棗子等瓜果供於桌案上，拜月後，全家人圍桌而坐，邊吃邊談，共賞明月，歡度佳節。

Origin Of Tasek Merinbum
Tasek Merimbun is probably one of the more internationally known park in Brunei. It is the only one in the country to be declared an ASEAN National Heritage Site way back in 1984. The park has a total area of about 8,000 hectares. Two rivers flowed through to the lake named Sungai Meluncur and Sungai Bang Oncom.
How does Merimbun gets its name? According to sources, Merimbun has been inhabited by the Dusun people more than a few hundred years ago. The Dusuns said that the area was discovered by someone named Imbun said to be the son of a Ketua Kampung from Merangking in Ulu Belait. It is said that while hunting, he reached this beautiful lake. He discovered that the place had plenty of food - fish in the lake and wild animals in the nearby forest. He brought his family and several of his fellow villagers followed suit to build a new home there. Over time, the Tasek and its surrounding area is called Tasek Merimbun, as a tribute to the founder, Imbun.
However, another version of how the name Merimbun is derived is also interesting. It is said that after the area was settled by the Dusun people, traders would come to bring goods to the area. One such trader was a Chinese man named Eng Boon. It is said that eventually the name Merimbun came from this Eng Boon.

Kuraman Island
28.08.2010
Here we came finally, Kuraman Island after planned for few months. It is an island that lies somewhere between Brunei and Malaysia water and it is a small tropical island belonging to Malaysia which located off the coast of Federal Territory of Labuan and it is protected as part of the Labuan marine park today.
Kuraman Island is with an total area of 5.2 square kilometers and was the site of second lighthouse built in 1902 to guide commercial ships entering Victoria harbour (Labuan harbour). It was one of the four structures that survived the heavy bombardments of the Allied Forces during World War II.
We had our lunch at Muara town in the early morning before we off to the islands. We gathered at Muara port at 9am and departed at 9.30am. It took around half an hour boat ride to arrive our destination. We do our own activity after we arrived there like snorkeling, sight seeing and photo shooting.
Around 11.30am, we had a BBQ over there and back to Muara port was around 3pm. The trip was nice and enjoyed.
