So does Datin Jula live in Brunei? Is she older or younger than Faezah?

I actually don't know anything else about Datin Jula other than she's married to a friend of Prince Jefri's. I assume she lives in Malaysia, since that pic is of her was taken at the Malaysian Grand Prix function.

Maybe someone else in the forum might know more.

They're first cousins? I didn't know that that was still done...Does anyone have a picture of the two of them? Now I'm curious about these two; usually, I just look for information on the Crown Princess.

Thank you Humera! unfortunately it wasn't a holiday trip :( it was a long work trip..I'm sure there would have some photos in the local newspapers. Today is the 1st functions of the royal wedding (majlis bersuruh), It's when the groom's family will ask the hand in marriage from the bride's family. Sorry I don't have any recent photos of Princess Hamidah but I do have a picture of Pengiran Anak Ali during the Crown Prince's wedding last year. The groom-to-be is an excellent polo player he has won a few competitons in Brunei. I did have a photo of him during the polo matches but I can't seem to find it at the moment. I will try my best looking for more pictures of this royal couple :)

It's Princess Sarah's 18th Birthday today, 9th April 2005...

**Humera** · #**129** 04-09-2005, 01:20 AM

Happy birthday to Princess Sarah! :)
I wonder if there are any functions planned?

**Humera** · #**130** 04-09-2005, 02:52 AM

Queen Saleha gives audience

**Humera** · #**131** 04-09-2005, 02:54 AM

and some more pics

There are no official functions that I've heard of just yet for crown princess's birthday celebration. However there will be a private party!

Dang Ayah · #**133** 04-12-2005, 03:21 AM

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.

Zina · #**134** 04-13-2005, 05:02 AM

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.

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?

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?

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
