Lets talk about our  Civil Service Club in Brunei which is located in Menteri, Jalan Kota Batu.

Since my Microsoft training finished early today, I made my re-visit to this club after 15 years not-going-there because I was a kid back then when I used my own Aunt member’s card. heh.

When I arrived there, I was impressed by the outside label is still in tack and the surrounding is clean and still being maintain. Next to this club is Menteri Golf Club.

Now the real deal comes, when I went through the main entrance I saw this receptionist busy clipping her nails and I was asking politely whether I can make my little ‘tour’ and with unfriendly face with jelingan she said ‘buleh eh’ . I think because she’s pregnant and have no-mood at all to serve a customer like me. heh again.

Then I saw this poster title

“SUKAN BEBAS TEMBAKAU – MENDAPAT KAD MERAH LEBIH BAIK DARIPADA MENDAPAT PARU-PARU HITAM”

in DIRECT english

“Free Tobacco Sports – Receiving RED card is better than getting Damage Lungs” something like that.

I was laughing my ass off. lol. Continue with the tour…

Looking right up is where VIP rooms for watching TV and lounge area. I bet its redundant.

oohh and including a lot of rooms…. Prayer room is a must!!

Lets check out the Swimming- My main reason to go there. So, from:

Monday – Thursday : 13oohrs-21oohrs (which I highly doubt it open until then)

Friday – Sunday : 0900hrs-21oohrs

Swimming pool still looks decent and clean. Its around 20m-25m long and from 0.5m to 3.5 m deep.

The kid’s pool

The Rules and Regulations of using the Swimming pool

The changing room still looks decent. Cant be bother to go inside because it was dark and looks spooky haha

Other than that here is the Gym area. Its pretty sad =(

Sorry for the blur picture. The place have:

• 3 Badminton Courts
• 1 Basketball Court
• Snooker Room
• Tennis Court
• 3 Squash Courts
• Maybe more..

I went further inside the building-An empty Snack Bar. This other side of the building is where all the Squash Court, Badminton Court and Snooker Room is located. Its quite dark.

Taking a quick peak in the Snooker Room. Again its redundant.

After that I stopped my tour and heading back home. On the way to the parking lot I talked to this security and asking him several questions.  Basically the only place is being use is the Badminton Court and sometimes is the Swimming pool.

Honestly, the place is quite dead and I wonder what if a private sector took over this place instead? I think twice to register my self up although the monthly fee is DEAD CHEAP. Do you think upgrading the facilities will attract more Goverment Servants to go there? Is the place not convenient? According to Brudirect there is about 2000 members registering with this club. Active members?   Whats your thought on this Civil Service Club?

P/S Sorry for the poor quality of my photos. Taken using my iPorn.
