FPV or Ford Performance Vehicles' 40th Anniversary GT monster. Black Gold bootie-shaking BOSS 290 5.4 litre Quad-Cam 32 valve V8 driven muscle-car dream on wheels. Premier Motors! Can you just bring one in for the heck of it PLEASE! Need a temporary distraction from the testosterone rush... tks to GoD's GiFT! for the following "too good not to re-post" post: Words women use. "Fine" This is the word women use to end an argument when they are right and you need to shut up. "Five Minutes" If she is getting dressed, this is half an hour. Five minutes is only five minutes if you have just been given 5 more minutes to watch the game before helping around the house. "Nothing" This is the calm before the storm. This means "something" and you should be on your toes. Arguments that begin with "nothing" usually end in "fine". "Go Ahead" This is a dare, not permission, DON'T DO IT! "Loud Sigh&quo

Good morning everyone! Have a wonderful week ahead! Don't forget to SMILE!

Today's JC session welcomed the arrival of our flip-it jumbos , a cool flash accessory which as can be seen from the pics above, makes a big difference in the way photos will turn out using the speedlight. I think it diffuses light more efficiently than the Lightsphere , but then thats just me. The morning was spent playing with the new toy... Nice.... very nice... Tks hjzul for organizing the group buy! Oh, and I met a friend of Jan's , Colin Quek , who walked up and introduced himself. Nice to meet you dude, and I'm sure I'll run into you at the office! I like your pics btw! Heheh!

What is it with drivers who insist on going round the roundabout as if they're negotiating a hairpin at Sepang?? Making up for lack of performance in other areas ?? Btw, I need yr full name for the anakbrunei.org email accounts :) Oh, and did I mention that its a GOOGLE hosted email account with a 2GB mailbox?

Kamayan is an interesting word in Tagalog. It can mean eat with hands, but it also means having fun as its more literal meaning is shaking hands or getting acquainted. I'm not sure if the current owners knew this before they took over Seri Kamayan Restaurant all those years ago. The Gadong branch was one of my favorite haunts pre-1997 and I suspect it was a favorite of many others as the place seemed to be always packed whenever I went. I hadn't been to Seri Kamayan in years and last night da missus and I were invited to dinner at their remaining branch at Utama Bowling. The restaurant overlooks the bowling alley which means you can watch the bowlers in action while you eat :) The food we ordered was based on the recommendation of the staff and it did not disappoint! It was a bonza meal enjoyed in great company. What more could one ask for? Read the full review of the meal here . Check out my other reviews:

The 4th BIMP-EAGA Joint Tourism Development Cluster Meeting took place last week with the objective of introducing a value-chain approach to BIMP-EAGA tourism stakeholders, the mapping of BIMP-EAGA tourism value chain and analysis of strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats; to understand the roles and requirements in tourism development and develop an action plan based on the principal of the value-chain approach.

The Smiths had no children and decided to use a proxy father to start their family. On the day the proxy father was to arrive, Mr. Jacobs kissed his wife and said "I'm off to work, Lydia. The guy should be here soon." Shortly after that, a door-to-door baby photographer happened to drop by hoping to make a sale. Mrs. Jacobs answered the door. "Good morning, ma'am. You don't know me, but I've come to..." "Oh yes, I know why you're here. Harry told me you'd be coming soon." "He did? But I..." "Come right in! No use wasting time ." "Very well, then." The photographer took out his briefcase and sat down. "As you may already know, I've made a specialty of babies." "Good, I'm glad," said Mrs. Jacobs. "That's just what Harry and I were looking for." "I usually like to try two in the bathtub, one on the couch and perhaps a couple on the bed," said the photogra

This here is my new friend whom I had the pleasure of meeting last week amid his busy schedule. Tengku Farith Rithauddeen , or TF for short, is Group CEO and Co-Founder of SKALI , an Internet Data Centre operator, and web applications and e-business consultancy which has set up a Lab in the BEDB 's i-Center to transfer its technology and know-how to local bright sparks. During our brief chat about what SKALI's plans are for their lab, TF outlined SKALI's technopreneurship program called SNAP , which stands for "SKALI Netpreneurs Acceleration Program", a program to facilitate the local ICT Industry by providing the necessary support structure. I think this sort of mentorship program will do well to augment the efforts of BEDB and the i-Center in nurturing and growing our local bright sparks so that they can compete in the global market. The other thing we spoke about was TF's book, Skali Lagi , which I've been listening to (yes, it comes in audio format wh

Came across a very well written article on Projectunes in today's paper. Out of curiosity, I visited the site . Phooaaarr! I must admit I've been really out of touch with the local music scene, so these kids just blew me away! From a humble home studio in the bedroom of one Adi Rani , they have produced some fabulous stuff! Our local talents just continue to amaze me! I especially liked Azeem 's track, Home. Kinda gives that G-Funk vibe with a real Bruneian flavour in the lyrics. Addictive stuff. I remember wondering to myself while listening to the G-Funk sounds of WarrenG driving around in Perth (where I met this member of projectunes) many years ago, "When are we gonna have a Bruneian version of this?" . I shall wonder no more... Hats off to the team at Projectunes and keep up the good fight! I wanna see you guys get to the top!

The gang and I braved the typhoon tail last night and gathered at the newly opened MOD Cafe on Jalan Jerudong last night. The crowd at the restaurant was testament to the fact that Bruneians will brave almost anything for a 50% discount on their meal! The place was jam-packed and parking was almost impossible. Good thing da sista made reservations earlier. As we settled in to our table, a quick gaze around gave me the sense that we were in for a loooong night. Tables were left uncleared, people were left standing at the front counter, and eventually turned away for lack of reservations. The service staff, including the owner, were clearly out of their element and unprepared for the hungry hordes coming in for their half-priced feast! Some of the customers even walked out in a huff when the wait for their orders proved unbearable (kalau omputih nda pulang batah tu rasanya menunggu 'sal bisdia panjang becerita heheh!). Perhaps it would not be fair to judge the service at this junctur

Pics taken at the Gemilang Photography lecture earlier tonight in Tutong where Don was invited to give a talk. Guest of honour was the Assistant District Officer of Tutong. Good turnout of Gemilang members and the night included a slideshow of pictures taken by members this morning during His Majesty's bersama rakyat in Tutong, and also slideshows by some of the more prominent members of Gemilang like Ahim Rani , Haranadi Buntar and Adi Putera. It was an interesting night of sharing of pictures and experiences. Cool bananas!
