Disini dipaparkan sebahagian daripada koleksi bonsai SyahVilla. Saya mula meminati bonsai sejak pertengahan tahun 1980 an, lebih kurang 25 tahun yang lalu. Meski pun sudah lama melibatkan diri dengan bonsai, ini tidak bermakna yang saya sangat mahir dalam bidang ini. Terus terang, saya masih merasa banyak kekurangan diri dan ingin menimba ilmu bonsai dengan lebih mendalam lagi.
Selain itu, saya amat mengkagumi Persatuan Seni Bonsai Kelantan (PSBK) yang mempunyai ramai ahli yang sangat aktif dan kreatif. PSBK sering kali menganjurkan aktiviti2 yang bermanfaat seperti pameran/pertandingan bonsai, bonsai race dan juga kutipan2 amal. Ahli2 PSBK turut meluangkan masa dengan berkunjung kerumah rakan2 untuk berkongsi pengalaman mengenai bonsai...…… alangkah baiknya jika terdapat persatuan yang giat seperti ini di Brunei.
Sebenarnya di Brunei Darussalam, khususnya di daerah Kuala Belait ada ramai orang Melayu yang meminati bonsai. Bagi kaum Cina, memang tidak terkecuali. Tidak dinafikan memang ada peminat-peminat bonsai yang berkunjung ke SyahVilla untuk berkongsi pengalaman dan bertukar-tukar idea, tetapi kami disini cuma bergerak secara bersendirian. Saya sangat berharap pada suatu masa nanti akan ada tertubuhnya sebuah persatuan atau Kelab Bonsai Brunei. Pernah saya menyarankan kepada rakan bonsai yang berpengaruh untuk menubuhkan dan sekali gus untuk menerajui kelab bonsai di Brunei namun belum mencapai kata sepakat…mudah-mudahan terbukalah pintu hati rakan2 bonsai ini kelak, Insya Allah aminnnnn………

Some friends commented that bonsai is an easy plant to take care of, as it is a matter of trimming & make a crown at d peak. It may seem easy, but the practice of bonsai incorporate a number of techniques.
A bonsai tree will require certain training to resemble an aged tree. In training a bonsai tree, some people use stainless steel or alluminium wire to coil d branches to d style u wish. In between 3-4 months or less 6 mths, u must uncoiled d wire to prevent it from biting d bark.
Pruning is also an important and common practice, it must be done with care as improper way can weaken or kill the trees. Along with pruning, trimming is most common activity used fr bonsai development and maintenance throughout it’s lifetime. This is prior to maintain a bonsai basic design which can otherwise disappear behind uncontrolled natural growth of branches and leaves.
