I noticed this when I was covering the 2012 Regatta Brunei Darussalam last Sunday. There were tons of umbrellas seen in public as people were carrying them to shelter from the hot scorching sun. So I thought to myself why not have a post on the different types of umbrellas they carry. I was using my reliable HSBC black umbrella which can withstand strong winds. So peeps.. What umbrella are you? :)

Many reasons why the Regatta competition should be an annual event. One of it is because this will build up the name of the capital of Brunei and give Brunei River a good brand among the locals and tourists alike. With the facelift of the BSB Waterfront, we need more activities at bandar to attract more locals.
Another reason is the cleanliness of the Brunei River. I belive the river was considerably clean and the relevant authorities have been proactive prior to the 2012 Regatta Brunei Darussalam to make sure that the river is clean from rubbish and man-litter pollution. With more government activities at BSB Waterfront, this could enforce the authorities to educate the public on disposing of their rubbish. I have to tell you that the Brunei River does collect a few rubbish here and there and it's not good sight to see them floating by the edges of the platforms along the BSB Waterfront.
It was a great turnout today and everyone was enjoying the activities of the 2012 Regatta Brunei Darussalam. There were boat, powerboat and jet ski races to name a few. It was also great to see His Majesty the Sultan of Brunei rowing in a friendly race with other boats.
I hope to see more of activities at BSB Waterfront and kudos to Ministry of Home Affairs and the organisers for making this event possible. This is indeed a historic moment to see the Regatta event being revived.

Reverse puzzle, a puzzle for those who Love a Challenge, was invented by Michael Guan (“The Inventor”) sometime in 2000. Consisting of 49 pieces, it was marketed with a B$10,000 prize on offer by The Inventor to whosoever could solve it. Due to the toughness of the puzzle no time limit was imposed and up till today. Reverse Puzzle remain unsolved. The challenger will cut a shape that looks like the ISLAND OF BORNEO into 49 pieces. Once cut draw the outline of the 49 pieces inside the ISLAND OF BORNEO in the Official Entry Form and immediately deliver the completed official entry form to The Inventor. The first correct entry that matches The Inventor pre cut 49 pieces wins.

To this end, for those who dare to take on the challenge, The Inventor put up the prize money himself and B$10,000 could be yours! So Hurry, and Don't Miss the Fun, the Adventure! Remember, No Venture, No Gain! To assure fair play an encrypted soft copy of the 49 pre cut pieces is stored in a thumb drive.
