Let’s forget my failure hunting in Singapore last week… I was in total frustration because I wasn’t able to source for the Olloclip, the 3-in-1 lens for iPhone 4/4s. The particular lens have won many rave reviews from techies and a few of my friends are owning one too.
What’s so good about the big deal about the lens? It’s a quick-connect lens system that includes fisheye, wide-angle and macro lenses and all you have to do is a clip on the corner of your iPhone where the lens is located. You don’t need a magnet lens to stick on the phone anymore like other previous lenses do.
This is an amazing accessory that I’ve owned so far and perhaps the best iPhone accessory to date. I’m still wonder why Singapore didn’t import this particular lens as I know the Olloclip will surely be a big hit. I just posted my Olloclip purchased on instagram and a few Bruneians are already asking me about it. Maybe AV Electronics can help to import Olloclip to Brunei.
So after I returned back from Singapore, I quickly ordered through their official website (forget Amazon since they couldn’t deliver to Brunei… then again you can make sure of Suite Lola for that matter). The cost of the Olloclip is USD 70 and I had to pay additional USD 30 for express courier via FedEx and I had pay an extra BND 16 for tax at Brunei customs for clearance. So all-in-all, you’re looking at forking out BND 110-115 for the Olloclip.
I actually purchased two Olloclip as I intended to sell the other off. But come to think of it, I’m thinking of doing a @ranoadidas Twitter quiz tonight so you can stand a chance to win the extra Olloclip that I bought :))
I ordered on the 20th December and the item arrived on Thursday though I had to wait for clearance. So technically I got it Saturday (today). Now that’s super efficient. Thank you, FedEx :))
I was surprised about this video on one of the disgruntled FedEx employee in the States. But I’m pretty sure FedEx has responded to this issue. Click on image to see video.
How the packaging look like and I can’t wait to use the Olloclip tonight. Best gift I’ve bought for myself this year (and the MacBook Air)
This is how the Olloclip fits on your iPhone 4/4s. The #brunika team also make use of Olloclip for their photos on instagram.
The Empire Hotel & Country Club is set to celebrate the festive season with you this weekend as they have set up festive season menus to bring you some seasonal cheer.
Feast on melt-in-your-mouth roasted angus sirloin carpaccio with a fruity raspberry dressing and sweet bell pepper Julienne for starters, then work your way through to the walnut crusted duck confit with a portabella-potato cake, dark cherry juice and crispy leek accompaniment, all available at Spaghettini.
For a seaside festivity, Pantai Restaurant offers customers the likes of tuna tartar with red pepper jam & asparagus foam, baked salmon wrapped in a salt crust with Béarnaise sauce, and lots of fresh seafood on ice to stuff yourself silly with.
There’s even a Mongolian BBQ and open fire grill with stingray, prawns and red meat to satisfy any kind of craving.
Take a culinary trip around the world this holiday with a huge selection of offerings from Atrium Café.
They offer an extensive buffet where Japanese handmade sushi, German roasted chicken, French seafood soup, and the very British slow roast rack of lamb with herb crusted couscous and mint apple juice could just be the start of your culinary adventure.
If you want more of a sense of Asian luxury to your holiday meals, the imperial high ceilings and calm water features of Li Gong restaurant are some reasons why it is the ultimate choice with a luxurious yet economical All-You-Can-Eat Dinner on December 24 and 25.
Feast on a braised whole abalone for a group of 10; varieties of steamed and fried dim sum; lovely leafy vegetables and tofu; simmered beef in five spices sauce, an intriguing coffee chicken, amongst a huge menu to choose from, and special requests are always welcomed by its culinary team.
All this can be enjoyed for only $55 per person including coffee or tea. However, Li Gong’s menu will be a tad more affordable at $35 per person. So get in the spirit of things and grab a group of friends or take your family out to enjoy the holiday festivities at The Empire Hotel & Country Club.

I was driving to Jing Chew this morning and I saw this long queue. Trending topic in today’s social media – Roadblocks.. I believe there were more than 5 roadblocks that I was aware of and it caused a huge traffic jam today, drawing complains from motorists. Judging from the previous trend, there will be more perhaps during the bonus period next week. Who knows… Well, at least it slow down cars and minimize the chances of accidents
