As sure as the Sun shall rise...

Over the last couple of weeks, I've been reading some truly mind-boggling bull-crap being spewed out about our country's e-government development by several highly qualified individuals from several big IT firms.

Please lah guys, we actually need more people who will give us their honest opinions, not more lip-service. Once again I wish I could be more like my buddy Pat but I can't... So anyway, in the spirit of boot-polishing, I thought I'd jump on the bandwagon and do some spewin' myself:
"In my expert opinion, as someone who has architected several seamless paradigms, we are going very well indeed, and in the right direction, given that we are synthesizing impactful functionalities, leveraging holistic relationships, empowering user-centric networks, transitioning effective paradigms, cultivating plug and play partnerships, innovating transparent architectures, optimizing killer infrastructures, maximizing efficient portals, and engineering synergistic web services."
Wow that felt so good. Try it yourself. Click here

    Thank goodness you ended that sentence "from several big IT firms."

    Because I am in the IT industry on the Government side, and we're doing our damnedest to materialize the e-government vision. The fruits of our labor is not apparent to the general public, but it's there, and its on course.

Body scrub, Brunei Stylie...

Attended a friend's bedak mandi (pre-wedding ceremony which involves a blessing by close family elders and a cleansing body-scrub) ceremony this afternoon and it brought back memories of my own bedak mandi all those years ago. What fun, a free body scrub performed by several family members, watched by even more family members! More pics here . Short rant: During the Microsoft Vista launch , both of us went in "business attire" as stated in the invitation. While trying to photograph the guest of honour, I was approached by one of the more seasoned photographers who asked me where I was from. I said I was an invited guest who happened to bring my camera. This is what he said to me, "Mana baju kot mu? Kalau jemputan duduk saja. Kalau mau buleh pulang ku panggil AO ni untuk membawa kau keluar." Yes, very Bruneian indeed matey. You could have just told me that its a requirement for photographers to wear a suit in the presence of royalty. No need to bite my head of...

Hadrah

... In the past, hadrah was only performed during weddings, but now it is performed in open events, to greet honoured guests and more significantly to signal the arrival of His Majesty in various events... ... Brunei youths nowadays have done well in preserving the heritage and have even enhanced it. Back then, competition involved only beating of drums and chanting. But now performances are choreographed to make it more attractive and interesting... ... hadrah could be further promoted in Brunei if there is a national association of hadrah set up. "We have a national team for silat and gasing (top spinning), but not for hadrah. We cannot just rely on mukim and schools to promote the activity, it has to be done at a national level... -- The Brunei Times
