Royalty of Brunei: News & Photos 3

[HMQueenElizabethII]

Thanks lots Humera.

[Dang Ayah]

Sarah spent the morning of her birthday at Padang kebajikan Berakas as her college had a Sports' Day! She danced in a field performance and her house won the Sports' Day trophy! *feeling disappointed at my former house* grrr!

Oh and the college recently moved to its old (but renovated, refurbished) site, after ten years of occupying another building! Had a look around... so cool! hehe.. It will be Sarah's final year there!...Btw, her AS results weren't published in the same list as the other govt students! Smart move! hahaha but then many speculated she did badly which I don't believe! She's a hardworking girl.

Before Sarah got married, shortly after her engagement was announced, I did a keyword search on her on Google. I found her exam results online - from 2003 or something like that. They were really low - she just managed to get above the 50% marks in most of her subjects. What surprised me most - was her English language results were not much better than her Malay Language results! Maybe like Princess Diana - she's not academically gifted.

Yea, I think that was her mid-year examinations! WOW! mid-years were always difficult for most of us who had extra-curricular responsibilities because that was the time where our schedule would be packed with competitions. Sarah, by then was already involved with the college's basketball team and also the national team too if I'm not mistaken! But, as August approaches, then our number of activities lessens, and we can afford to revise well for our big exams, which is usually in October/November.

Dang Ayah, I am not sure why they would post mid results only.

I also did a google search on Sarah's results and the O levels grades were as what Zina said. In fact it seems that the Bruneian's Ministry of Education posted the entire nation's O levels results of students from EVERY SCHOOL including Sarah's school. Sarah didn't pass her Additional Mathematics and scored only 7 credits. Well, for someone that status, Sarah's hardly need to worry about grades and livelihood. If anything, academic achievements would be a personal pursuit. I think HRH Sarah's strength lie somewhere else and maybe not academically.

Was Sarah also on the School's debating team or something?

Thats quite some info Dang Ayah. Hope it was fun for hrh . If you could, it would be great to see some pictures.

Do know if Sarah's planning for further studies like university?

[Humera]

Yes I think especially now that she's Crown Princess, Sarah doesnt have to worry so much about her grades. If she doesnt want to continue her studies that is. But if she does, than Im sure she'll have to maintain a good academic standing.
Ofourse not everyone is academically inclined. Like the late Princess Diana who didnt have a higher education and it doesnt look like she intended to either.
CP Sarah certainly seems to be one of those who are more into sports and extracurricular activities.

Princesses Rashidah & Majeedah attend a convocation

Queen Saleha

Here are some photos of the royal wedding between YAM Pengiran Anak Hamidah & YAM Pengiran Anak Ali (short forms only hehe) I also attended the wedding yesterday. It was a beautiful ceremony the royal bride was very beautiful as well as the royal groom was handsome in their matching merun red wedding attire. Princess Sarah wore yellow very beautiful as usual :)

Here's an article about the college's sports day!
I made a mistake of saying Sarah's house won the sports trophy, they instead won the best team for March Past. In fact, her house have been winning the March Past for the past six years! In 1998, the Sports day had to be held indoors due to the Haze!

[Humera]

thanx for the pics alfie!
Im still hoping that the official news agency will have bigger pics.
btw...the groom is Prince Sufri's son right? from his first wife?

[alfie]

You most welcome Hummera! no, the royal groom is Princess Masna's 3rd son. The royal bride's mother( not wearing a head scarf) is in both of the pictures greeting Queen Saleha. Unfortunately & sadly the royal bride's father could not attend the wedding. But there will be another royal wedding reception in London which he will attend.

oh yes I forgot. I got confused between Prince Sufri and Jefri.
The bride's father is Jefri right?
Im dying to see bigger pics of all the jewels and the clothing!
I guess the sultan's kids in London will also attend the reception.

[alfie]

Yes! the royal bride's father is Prince Jefri. I think so they will also attend the wedding reception including Sultan's 2nd daughter with Queen Saleha.

The Sultan didnt attend either. Arent the second set of photos off the tv? I watched the news last night, they look the same.

[Humera]

I found some more pics

[alfie]

Thanks! Humera :) Their are better photos. Yes Sultan and Prince Mohammad did not attend the royal wedding. Unfortunately I couldn't take pictures myself because I didn't recharge my digital camera, sorry :o But we did take pictures with the royal couple after the ceremony and in the evening too. Those pictures aren't ready yet. I'll post them when they done. This weekend in Empire Theatre there will be one of the first wedding reception for the royal couple.

I'm referring to the post before mine.
