From 5th to 31st December, KFC selling some of their premiums at B$2.00 each at all their outlets in Brunei. Reason for doing this is because KFC is raising funds to help the flood victims of Thailand. 100% of the sales proceeds will go to this cause.
30% of the worldâs rice and almost 90% of Bruneiâs rice comes from Thailand. Almost everyone in Brunei takes rice at least once a day. From local dishes like Nasi Katok and Nasi Lemak to KFCâs own Colonel Rice, many in Brunei have been growing up consuming rice.
KFC feels that it is only right that to help the hand that feeds us. We know that they are many out there who know this too. By doing this, KFC is offering another channel for the public who wishes to help the unfortunate ones to stand on their feet.
The available premium varies and was previously tied in with KFC meals and was popular back then. There are a lot of KFC collectible fans out there, we want to give them a chance to buy back some of the items that they may have missed out previously.
Let’s buy some merchandise and raise some money for the flood victims of Thailand

A small car built with big car technology. The compact A1 unites all of the strengths of the brand â a progressive design, uncompromising quality and groundbreaking efficiency â in a space measuring 3.95 meters (12.96 ft) in length.
After less then a year and a half on the global market, the A1 has already won numerous awards, including the âAuto Trophyâ from Auto Zeitung, the âGolden Steering Wheelâ from Auto Bild and Bild am Sonntag and the âCar of the Year Awardâ from What Car? It was also voted as one of the âBest Cars of 2011â by the readers of auto motor und sport. The A1 also received the top five stars rating in the Euro NCAP crash test.
Body and interior
The design with the encircling shoulder line is cutting-edge and integrates the Audi A1 into the large model family. The front end with the dominating single-frame grille, the side line with the distinctive roof arch, the coupé-like C-pillars and the large wheel arches are among its defining style elements. The hood and the rear hatch wrap around the body. Audi offers the xenon plus headlights with LED daytime running light strips and LED tail lights. The tail lights are already three-dimensionally styled in the base model and are unmistakable, day or night.
High- and ultra high-strength steels comprise two-thirds of the compact modelâs body. The strongest of these are the hot-shaped steels, which draw their extremely high tensile strength from a dramatic temperature increase during the shaping process. Hot-shaped steels are used primarily within the passenger cell. They provide the basis for the precise, sporty handling, the good comfort, the quiet interior, the excellent passive safety and the low base weight.
The interior of the Audi A1 is spacious, bright and airy. The instrument panel bears hints of an airplane wing; its four round air vents are reminiscent of jet engines. The clean, clear controls are every bit a classic Audi strength as the superior workmanship. Many lovingly designed details underscore the premium character of the A1.
The interior of Audi A1.. Looks awesome!!!
Drive train
The Audi A1 is available for Brunei with the 1.4 TFSI engines with an output of 90kW (122 hp). All of the engines follow the downsizing principle â they substitute turbo charging for displacement and draw their fuel through direct injection units.
At Audi, efficiency always means high-tech. The A1 1.4 TFSI with 90 kW (122 hp) is available with the seven-speed S tronic dual-clutch transmission. The dual-clutch transmission shifts extremely quickly, comfortably and with no perceptible interruption to the flow of power.
It can be operated as an automatic or manually, with paddles on the steering wheel available. Thanks to its high efficiency and the intelligent control system, the S tronic also helps to reduce fuel consumption.
Chassis
The agile, wide-track chassis moves the A1 to the head of its class. Whether in the city, on an interurban road or on the expressway â the small compact is always great fun to drive thanks to its sporty setup, the favorable weight distribution and the direct-ratio steering. The vehicle sprints from zero to 100 km/h (62.14 mph) in 8.9 seconds and features a particularly sporty setup.
The ESP stabilization program with electronic limited slip differential, which comes standard on all models, makes the handling even more precise while also enhancing driving safety. It minimizes under steer at the cornering limit by means of slight braking, which also improves traction.
Equipment and trim
In addition to the Ambition trim, Audi also offers a media style package focused on infotainment and interior design. In addition to 17-inch aluminium wheels, sport seats with lumbar support, a leather steering wheel and aluminium-look interior trim, the Ambition line also comes standard with the on-board computer with efficiency program and shift indicator.
Innovative materials and modern colours emphasize the youthful character of the Audi A1. Whether colour-coordinated air vents, LED interior lights or seat covers in expressive colours â customization is the key. The equipment program offers countless opportunities for matching the A1 to the driverâs own personal style. There are even a variety of paint finishes from which to choose for the roof arch. Customers can also order many features after the initial sale to follow a trend or a whim.
You can view the A1 at TCY showroom at Lambak
Six versions will be available for Brunei: Audi exclusive line, Media style package, Lifestyle kit union square, S line sports package, Competition kit and even a Wasabi green interior package.
The available infotainment and multimedia systems for the Audi A1 come directly from the full-size class, including the monitor that folds out from the instrument panel and the control unit, which uses MMI logic.
The connectivity package, which is based on the concert radio, includes an optional navigation preparation kit that allows the customer to later install a map-based navigation system â that, too, is a new idea. Convenient Bluetooth and wired interfaces are available for cellular phones and external players such as the iPod.
The official launch for the Audi A1 is planned for early 2012, for more information on the Audi A1 in Brunei call T.C.Y. Motors on 2390725. Text and images courtesy of T.C.Y. Motors.

I didn’t realise quite a few of my Singaporean friends head over to the border across Singapore to shop at Johor Premium Outlets where it’s like a one stop channel for more than 80 designer and name brand stores, offering factory direct savings of 25% to 65% every day.. Now that is awesome!!!
My favourite store Adidas is there too and other stores such as Armani, Burberry, Canali, Coach, Esprit, Gap, Guess, Nike, Oroton, Ralph Lauren, Salvatore Ferragamo, Timberland, Tumi and Tommy Hilfiger to name a few.
According to SuperAdrianMe, the Premium Outlet opened early December and it was launched by Malaysia’s Prime Minister Dato’ Sri Mohd Najib bin Tun Abdul Razak. So if you happened to be in Singapore right now, you can just drive across the border and take advantage of the great deals at Johor Premium Outlets. Images courtesy of SuperAdrianMe.
