I never really did understand the thrill in whacking a small ball some distance with a club and going after it to whack it some more, and finally getting it into a hole in the middle of nowhere. I still don't get the game of golf , but I'm a tiny minority among the millions if not billions of golfers and golfing-fans out there. Anyway, if I did in fact take up the game, I don't think I'd be anywhere near winning the really handsome prize of US$300,000.00 for the Brunei Open which starts today. I don't really know much about golf and who the big contenders are, but here's wishing them all the best in the tournament and may the best whacker get the most balls in the holes with the least possible number of whacks!

I attended a small gathering at the Australian High Commissioner's residence yesterday evening to welcome Tony Davis, a Sydney-based writer and editor who has worked in newspapers, magazines and publishing during a 25-year career, and to bid farewell to a young Bruneian, Ang Chui Boon, who is leaving today for a 4 month stint in Canberra under the Australian government's Endeavour programme. The Endeavour Program is an internationally competitive, merit-based scholarship program that forms part of the Australian Government's $1.4 billion Australian Scholarships initiative. The Endeavour Program brings leading researchers, executives and students to Australia to undertake short or long term study, research and professional development in a broad range of disciplines and enables Australians to do the same abroad. According to Dave , the scholarship applications are pretty straightforward, and he encouraged more Bruneians to apply for it. Applications are closed for this yea...

Baiduri bank concluded a very successful expo over the last week with a lucky draw finale at the mall. The top prize was a huge plasma TV which was won by Pg Abd Rahman. I wouldn't mind hanging one of those on MY living room wall heheh. Anyway, I discovered the secret weapon which Jason uses to take all those awesome pictures which you see in the Borneo Bulletin. And it wasn't a Canon EOS5D like I thought... it was a NOKIA CAMERA PHONE! Spot the gangsta ... Spot the blogger ...

What was Mr Linderman doing in Brunei? Why was he at the Orient Express Concert ? Are YOU on the LIST? From Wikipedia: Mr. Linderman is a reputed mobster who has ties to several of the main characters. He is an avid chef and collector of art and antiquities, and is revealed to have the ability to heal living things in the Heroes graphic novel series " War Buddies " and the episode " .07% ". In person, he is persuasive, gentle and unfailingly polite. However, he has no qualms about extortion or assassination. He is even willing to allow the deaths of several million people in order to safeguard the human race. In the graphic novel "War Buddies", it is revealed that Linderman served with the Petrellis' father in Vietnam , where the two were the only survivors of a mission to destroy a target called Au Co. Upon arriving at the target, Linderman healing a wounded Petrelli en-route, the pair discover an area of farmland with vast amounts of vegetation. T...

"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...

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...

Old school photo manipulation... All analog... None of that adobe photoshop digital crap. This was taken circa 1977 (waaahhh THIRTY YEARS AGO!!!) in Penang, I think. You could choose which special effect you wanted and the photographer would ask you to pose accordingly. For this airborne shot, I had to pose on a bench with my arms outstretched and legs up just so. It had to be precise as I remember the photographer constantly coming over to adjust my position.... As u can see, the result was nothing short of spectacular!! So real one!!! I really believed I could fly! Nathan Petrelli , eat your heart out! Today, with sophisticated software like Photoshop, it took me less than 10 minutes to do what the photographer probably spent hours doing back then. Below is an example:

I just love this baby ... I would've ordered it... but it didn't come with a coffee maker ...

Stumbled across this site which I'm sure many of you will find very useful. It's a system which makes use of the global GSM network and new satellite GPS technology to enable tracking of any mobile user's location with up to 25m accuracy. Now that's amazing. This is stuff you only see on 24 being deployed in real life. Coolness!

Order two ambuyat sets for three even when there's only four of you. Devour said food for six. Order another helping of ikan goreng and the gooey stuff and devour with remaining cacah or dip for good measure. Check out my other reviews:
