There is one major difference between life in Belait and life in Bandar Muara.
Household routines are one hour early.
This realization came upon us when we cleared the table after a leisurely dinner with my in laws and noticed that it was only 7.30 pm! This is the time when we would usually just started to get ready for dinner back at our house in Bandar Seri Begawan.
My family in Belait does not practice heavy tea which meant never needing to stress over burning fat or worry about diet pill side effects – and so dinner at 6.30 pm is only natural.
At least our time is more reasonable than many other families I was told who have their dinner at 5.30 pm!
It tickled us so much to be able to send the kids to bed at 8.30 pm again (instead of 9.30 pm) – and still had at least 2 hours to kill before we can call it a night – which is at least 1-2 hours earlier than our usual bedtime nowadays.
Over here in Belait, time does not move slow. We just do things earlier and quicker.
