Hi Humera

Can't seem to access the Infofoto gallery for the past few months but you seems to be able to . Has the website prime minister office or infofoto website changed its address. The address at www.infofoto.org.bn kept directing to an Apache web server.

Thanks!

Well I already mentioned Sarah, if u go thru Azemah's list there's Prince Malik... their cousins like PA Rashid, PA Ghaffar, PA Badee, PA Nafee are also in friendster. PA Hafiyyah and her older sister (I forgot her name).Oh PA Wadood's wife Mena... And i also heard from my fren that the little ones like PA Raheemah also has an account! hehehe

I just logged on friendster and read abit on Princess Azemah . Never in my imagination she would across as a brilliant personality bursting with enormous amount of warmth and cheer. Must be very lucky to be her friend looking at the long list of effusive testimonials . I could also literally feel the palpable happiness people must enjoy around her company from the photos posted there. She sounds like an honest, appreciative and sincere friend to have from her . Would love to be her friend

 

[Minnie]

Many thanks for the explanation and the link, Dang Ayah.

Thanks for the link too Dang Ayah. Your photo is somewhere there too right?
Really some good insights from Princess Azemah's profile - very loving and sincere person , not only is she beautiful on the outside but can also feel her genuine love for life and the people around her radiating right from her heart - Truly a a personality befitting her royal status as a princess and she's certainly not lacking in richness when it comes to friends and goodness shown to friends.

HRH Sarah 's slightly more reserved though and can't find much about her. Would be great if the lovely princess can shed some light

 

[Dang Ayah]

Yea... my picture IS somewhere there! Heehee... I just hope no one tries too hard to look for it...

If you search "Ghaffy" thats PA Ghaffar, nephew to the Sultan... U can see a picture of him with Princess Fadzillah! And there's also the girl named Mash, I think there's a picture in this thread of Mash with Prince Azim or was it the thread before this?!?

Hi Minnie,
You've got the right address, its listed on the website. The website layout has been changed though. But dont worry, you didnt miss much over the past few weeks. There were no pics of CP Sarah or the Queen or most other royals since apparently they were away in the UK. If there were any pics, I would've posted them.
But the Sultan's birthday is tomorrow so we can look forward to tons of pictures from the celebrations and banquets. And as soon as im able to access the pics, I'll post them here

CP Sarah receives a D.K.

Hey CP Sarah just received The Most Esteemed Family Order Laila Utama (D.K.) this morning!!! which gives her the title of "Dato Laila Utama"...I'm not sure if they'd changed the title to "Datin Laila Utama" cos she's a female?!?

I won't be posting the pictures up cos i Know Humera enjoys doing that!

thats very good news Dang Ayah. What is the significance of this honour? I mean who else has it? Is Laila Utama a person or does it have some other meaning? Oh and you can post any pictures you have. I only post pics from infofoto because some of the other members have problems accessing the site. I cant always access it either so everytime I am able to, I post the pics right away.

 

[Dang Ayah]

Well, If I'm not mistaken its the second highest order in Brunei after The Royal Family Order of the crown of Brunei (D.K.M.B). D.K mostly goes to royal family members or people really close to the royal family...and I'm not sure but I think a number of foreign head of states have received D.K too?! And most certainly a number of foreign royalties!!!

For more info about the orders in Brunei check out this site: http://www.4dw.net/royalark/Brunei/brunei.htm

Hope that helps Humera!

Hi there, I don't know to start this, but I just got a news from our local top designer, which happened 2b my designer/tailor as well, and he claimed that he just received a huge amount of material to make a costume, about 120 plus suits ....some to be accented with diamonds, and all that must be ready in 3 months time as brunei expecting another huge royal wedding, diamonds parure, tiara to be ordered from Cartier (seperate arrangement of course)
..... I was told which of the royal family getting married, but I dare not mentioned here as it's not yet announce ( probably I'm the who don't kno that...) but to play safe, I better don't, hence the big question goes to Dang Ayah, probably he got the news as well.
........ can't wait for another bruneian wedding , ok Dang Ayah ..is that true?

 

[Dang Ayah]

Hello BOLK!
I think you might be interested in reading some old posts in the Royalty of Brunei threads because there have been talk about the marriage between Prince Qawi (the son of Prince Mohamed) and Princess Majeedah... People have been talking about it in Brunei right about the same time they were talking about the Crown Prince and then Dk Sarah. But the reason there hasn't been any early big announcements is because this would just be a wedding between royal family members... As oppose to CP Billah and Sarah... because at that time, there were a lot of speculation about who the girl is and CP Billah liked another girl who was not quite approved by his parents! And when, I guess, all these people talking about it around the country became too much, they had to announce the wedding early! Just to ,how to say it, uphold the dignity of the royal family... them being malay,muslims too... its quite indecent to hear all the many versions of the Crown Prince's "quest for a bride". I'm sure that you as a malaysian understand what I'm trying to say...But yea coming back to your question, we'll just wait for the official announcement about Prince Qawi and Princess Majeedah. And also, i've heard that this wedding was supposed to be sooner but they had to postpone it a bit because Prince Qawi's mum, PAIPA Zariah was ill for a while. I'll let some other members answer this question too, there may be others who know better!

P/S: I think it'd be to my comfort to let you know that I'm a "she" hehehe... "Dang" is short for "Dayang" which is the Bruneian word for "miss". And Dang Ayah is a name of a long forgotten Bruneian royalty who lived long ago... she was buried alive because she ran off with a commoner she fancied... hehehe but its not my real name though! Cheers!

 

[Humera]

well all I can say is that another wedding in the Bruneian royal family would be something to look forward to! If it is all indeed true, I wish the couple all the best. I know a lot of us, including myself, have reservations about another marriage within the family but I hope everything works out for them. Princess Majeedah seems like a very quiet, intelligent sort of young woman. I hope she'll be happy.

 

[Humera]

Dang Ayah I see you didnt post all the pics from the banquet. I was hoping you would Thats okay though....here they are.
No pics of Azemah or Fadzillah though. I hope Infofoto adds some more from the banquet.
