The star of the day - Nuratiqah Nabila - who bagged both Best Vocal and Best Actress Award at Laneige Broadway Musical Competition 2013
Sorry for the late post, Pat *huhu* I've been wanting to post this article few days ago. So here it is.. I missed the morning session of Laneige Broadway Musical Charity Competition 2013 because of my participation of the National Day Run. There were 10 schools involved in this year's competition and according to Pat Li, the competition went smoothly and even finished ahead of schedule especially in the morning session.
Over 350 students from 10 secondary schools participated and they have worked very hard and put a lot of effort in the performance. The event was held at Hua Ho Manggis Ballroom.
The guest of honour was the chairlady of the Yayasan Kanser Kanak-Kanak (YASKA), Dr Norehan Hj Johari. Also present were Cheong Huat Joo, Senior Special Duties Officer (Secondary), Department of Schools; and Brunei English Language Teachers Association (BELTA) President, Datin Hjh Khadijah Hj Akhbar.
My favourite was definitely the last one - PAP Hjh Masna Secondary School. They won first place and deservedly so. They also bagged the Best Choreography, Best Vocal, Best Costume and Best Actress Award. The star of the day belonged to Nuratiqah Nabila who played Pocahontas and it was her vocal that stood among the rest. I was almost in tears listening to her rendition of "Colours of the Wind" and even the audience felt connected to her performance. And yes, Nuratiqah bagged both Best Vocal and Best Actress Award for her performance.
For your info, she also came 2nd in last year's RTB Bintang Kecil and also a presenter for RTB 2 "Minggu Ceria" programme. Guess what? I didn't even know that she's popular on Youtube.. Her youtube views are amazing for a Bruneian. If you want to hear her voice, click here and here. She's definitely a talent that can bring so much for our country. I foresee a bright future ahead for Nuratiqah.
The panel of judges during the competition
The first runner-up of the competition was Sayyidina Hasan Secondary School winning $300 and a trophy. The school also won an additional $200 after winning Best Stage Presentation and Best Actor awards.
Best Actor, Aiman Hafizul Irfan of Year 11, was thrilled and said that he has the passion for music since childhood and plays many music instruments. He added that his decision to venture into acting and singing and ultimately the competition was right.
The second runner-up of the competition was PAP Hjh Rashidah Lumut. The school received $200 and a trophy. The Best Creative Adaptation award was won by Sharif Ali Secondary School.
Pat Li was happy that the event turned out as a success and she appreciated the committee, the coaches and the volunteers that helped out since Day 1. She said that we all share the mutual belief that all kids are gifts to us. When When they grow up, they are our future in sustaining and managing the country. It is our passion to nurture our youths’ development with positive thinking, by being supportive, giving and loving.
The supporters of the Laneige Broadway Musical Charity Competition 2013 are HSBC, Royal Brunei Catering Sdn Bhd, Syarikat Shalim (B) Sdn Bhd, Ranoadidas, Red Dot Studio, CFBT, JPMC Fitness Centre, BELTA and Great Eastern Life Assurance Co Ltd.

I've never been a fan of politics and though I don't really follow minute-to-minute on the 13th General Election, I keep tab by following news on the social media and blogs and even tuned in to TV1 on Astro to see the latest update.
If you ask my opinion, I was hoping for a change. Most of my friends residing in Brunei shared the same sentiment. Most of them even flew back to their home town to vote and this shows how determined they are to make a change in the government.
Guess what, Barisan National (BN) under the leadership of Malaysia's Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak, lost the popularity vote in the General Election 2013 but BN returned to power because they won 133 seats from the 222-seat Parliament. With all results in, BN polled 5.220 million votes to Pakatan Rakyat’s 5.489 million, for a deficit of 269,130 votes based on calculations by The Malaysian Insider. The Election Commission has yet to release the official results.
Though the opposition might have lost the war, I can see a transition. The Prime Minister has become aware of the "Chinese Tsunami" which voted for "change" (the opposition) and he didn't seem to happy about it. He blamed the Pakatan Rakyat (the opposition) led by de factor leaeder Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, who believed the electoral election was a fraud (well, many of friends thought so too).
All in all, BN scored poorly in the most Chinese-majority seats nationwide, indicating a massive swing in the community’s support towards the opposition.
There was even a 10-minute blackout that happened last night (not sure of the time) and I did a hashtag search on my instagram and it was flooded with "blackout" pictures, condemning the tactics by the government. I also came across this blog which shared about the darkest day in Malaysia. Check it out!!
I'm not suprised with the results because of the other factors that came into question. But I'm quite content that there's a shift that's happening and this is just first step - planting the new seeds.
Do you think BN won it fair and square? Your thoughts.
It was quite rare that I watch TV1 *lol*
I wonder who Siti Nurhaliza voted for. Taken from her instagram
One of the cast from Yasmine the Final Fist flew back to her home town to vote (for a change)
Carol's family also voted for a change. Their home town Sibu and majority voted against BN and won a seat.
Carol managed to wash off the blue mark on her index finger using detergent. Hmmmm...
It was a clear winner which party will govern Malaysia for another term

There are gonna be many jokes about blackouts now
Sairol (left) questioning why his team mate didn't square to him in the box and instead falling down to claim for a penalty. DPMM FC lost 2-0 to SAF Warriors FC last night at Hassanal Bolkiah Stadium.
I was there last night to witness only the first half of the match. DPMM FC lacked the creativity and the motivation they usually have when playing on home ground. Yes, there are missing a few key players notably Azwan Salleh and their top striker Jo. However, that shouldn't be an excuse for DPMM FC's poor performance last night.
They could have lost more than 2 goals to tell you honestly. DPMM FC have their chances too but they still looked far from convincing. Something tells me that DPMM FC is missing one key player that made a difference last season. The departure of Ivan Jerkovic has definitely affected the recent gameplay of DPMM FC. He was so industrious in midfield and his distribution is top notch.
The new import players are nothing of spectacular and they have yet to show any sign of brilliance or dominance in their presence with the exception of Jo who is DPMM FC's top scorer. DPMM FC will be hosting Home United this Friday. Will they redeem themselves or will it be their 3rd consecutive loss in the S•League? Read more of the report here from The Brunei Times.

The facelift of the interior of the Pantai Restaurant
I like the idea of the "Kain Tenunan" being used as the featured wall of the Pantai Restaurant
A lot of local cultural symbols being used as deco

After months of renovation, it's back to business for Pantai Restaurant at The Empire Hotel & Country Club and it was officially opened last Wednesday by the guest of honour Deputy Minister of Finance Dato Paduka Hj Bahrin Abdullah.
I'm quite impressed by the interior design and the layout of the restaurant. The structure mostly stay the same but you will notice a lot of effort and work have been done to make the dining experience more refreshing with ambience.
As mentioned in the speech by interim General Manager of The Empire Hotel, John Scanlon, that the restaurant incorporates the natural elements as well as the breath taking view of the sea. I kinda like the selection of the dishes though surprisingly I didn't eat much that night. The dishes that I recommend are the Beef Prime Ribs, the crabs and the Pantai Lamb Shank Pie Sweet Potato. I didn't touch the salad area and from the pictures you can tell that there are quite a selection of them.
What I'm impressed also are the seatings by the pool outside the Pantai Restaurant. It gives another atmospheric setting and it's quite ideal if you want to have a more intimate dining experience with friends and families.
A walking distance from the restaurant, there is another dining area know as the Zen Pavilion which caters to Teppanyaki dishes and there are plenty of choices to choose from as well. I kind like the scallop dish but I didn't get to try the other dishes from Zen Pavilion. So it seems that the stakeholders of the Pantai Restaurant have done a tremendous job in bringing a much livier dining experience for patrons and in-house guests to enjoy not just the food they serve but the ambience at the Pantai Restaurant.
From what I was told that the Pantai Restaurant is fully booked until the weekend. I'm pretty sure it will be busy as well after the weekend since the demand is still high.
The Pantai Restaurant is open during lunch time from 11am to 3pm and open for dinner from 6.30pm to 10.30pm and is closed on Thursdays. The price of the buffet is BND 48++ (half priced for kids) and it is only available for Friday and Saturday dinner. As normal, Monday to Wednesday are ala carte. For further enquires, those interested may contact The Empire Hotel and Country club at 2417700.

Feels like you in are a white room.. Introducing the Peugeot 208 five door
The previous model of the Peugeot 208 only had 3 doors. So this Saturday, T.C.Y. Motors will unveil their new Peugeot 208 five-door at their Peugeot Showroom at Kiarong. This model will be ideal for families which makes it convenient to bring babies for seating purposes. You will also notice some variances in between the 5 door and the 3 door model in terms of the details on the rims, floating front grille and side profile.
It now has 16-inch alloy wheels (Helium) and this is also cost effective whenever you want to change tyres.
Apart from the launch of the 5 door model, there will be a prize presentation for the winners of the Let Your Body Drive competition. The winners will be chosen by Patricia Siva of StudioScene and Adrian of Groove Studio. Public is also welcome to witness the unveiling of the Peugeot 208 five doors and you can also stand a chance to win an iPhone 5.. Woohoo!! For more details, you can call 242 6969.

The early mood
The Authority for Info-communications Technology Industry of Brunei Darussalam (AITI) in collaboration with the iCentre of Brunei Economic Development Board (BEDB), Tech One Global and Google Developers Group (GDG) Women Brunei Darussalam, today held the nation’s inaugural Girls in ICT Day celebration with an official opening of a series of events organised for the girls and young women in Brunei.
The guest of honour to officiate the event was Yang Mulia Datin Paduka Hajah Adina binti Othman, Deputy Minister of Culture, Youth and Sports. The event took place at the KHUB building in Kg. Anggerek Desa. Also present at the event were deputy permanent secretaries, AITI Members of Authority, senior officials from BEDB and government institutions, and representatives from the ICT industry.
In his opening speech, the Chief Executive of AITI, Awang Hj Yahkup bin Hj Menudin mentioned “ICT provides new digital opportunities to end discrimination, promote gender equality and to empower the girls and women.” Hj Yahkup also highlighted that “within the local ICT industry, our latest record reveals that only 36% of the total workforce in ICT companies are made up of women.
Majority of these women hold administrative and management positions, very few are technicians, IT engineers and system programmers, and only a minimal number of female owns ICT businesses or holds a leadership portfolio within the business organization. Women are undeniably underrepresented in the ICT professional sector as a whole.” He then emphasized that building the awareness and skills, as well as providing clear ICT career paths and opportunities for the girls and women have to take place. Programs have to be designed to encourage the interest and participation of girls and young women to pursue ICT studies and ultimately a career in ICT related field.
Guest of honour Datin Paduka Hjh Adina, Deputy Minister of Culture, Youth and Sports, encouraged more women to be involved in ICT to follow the role models of female technopreneurs such as Hjh Salma, Shavon and Sophia

The officiating event today also saw the guest of honour taking a tour to the two parallel workshops, namely Vid-IT and Tech-IT, where Yang Mulia Datin Paduka Hajah Adina had a closer look on the various ICT activities held for the girls and young women. The Vid-IT workshop has seen active participation by Year 10 female students in making a simple animation video using Adobe Flash. The workshop, facilitated by Dyg Khairunnisaa Saaniah binti Dr. Haji Kamsani from Tech One Global, also include students’ presentations to compete for the most creative videos.
Meanwhile, the Tech-IT workshop, a talk-a-thon session was held for the female students from the higher learning institutions. The workshop facilitated by Dr. Mona Kassim from the iCentre has gathered the audience to discuss on various ICT-related topics presented by aspiring women and entrepreneurs in this field.
Some of the young ladies entrepeneur sharing their ideas and experiences
The Girls in ICT Day activities will continue with another workshop to be held at AITI tomorrow (1 May 2013), called Pitch-IT. It is a pitching session for lower sixth female students that is aimed to encourage participants to generate innovative ideas on mobile apps as well as pitching of ideas towards commercially viable products. Another on-going activity to mark the Girls in ICT Day is the one-minute video clip competition, known as Clip-IT, organised by AITI. This competition aims to promote the use of ICT medium and encourage participations from girls aged 13 to 19 years, to produce a short video clip with the theme “IT’s a Girls’ World”. Entries to Clip-IT are opened from 25 April to 17 May 2013, and members of the public are invited to vote for their favourite clips starting from 18 to 22 May 2013 through AITI’s website.
By the end of these events, it is hoped that the participants would be inspired and be more attracted to the fields of ICT, and be aspired towards a career path in ICT-related professions. AITI and its supporting partners once again highlighted that this event is not intended to discriminate the males; but rather to promote and increase the involvement and interest of the females in ICT with the support of its male counterparts.
Girls in ICT Day is an initiative backed by International Telecommunication Union (ITU) to create a global environment that empowers and encourages girls and young women to consider careers in the growing field of ICT. Celebrated worldwide on the fourth Thursday of April annually, this year’s Girls in ICT Day was observed on 25th April 2013.

Kevin Tay was the hero for HSBC as they beat Termicam in Group B of the Inter-Company NBT Basketball Tournament. He scored 35 points in a 72-66 victory. His teammates Lesly Kuan scored 9 points while Lim Boon Teck scored 7 points.
