MegaStrike gets artistic touch

Three artists recently finished painting a section of the MegaStrike Bowl Centre’s wall with a touch of artistic flair that incorporates the bowling centre’s environment. The three young artists who call themselves “Arttralia”, formed in 2009, comprising Zakwan Zinal Abidin, Hairol Abdulkhan and Muhd Nur Adzim Othman. The group completed the mural painting within a week, just in time for the new year.

According to Hairol, the name “Arttralia” is a combination of the words “Art Attracts Belia”, and the team has previously done mural art paintings for the Youth Day at the National Indoor Stadium, the International Convention Centre exhibitions, the Youth Centre and the children’s ward in Raja Isteri Pengiran Anak Saleha (RIPAS) Hospital.

According to Syu’aib Rafie, MegaStrike Bowl’s executive officer, the management wanted a mural art design that can highlight the centre’s lively environment that encompasses its logo.

“Before we did the design, we tried to capture all of the moments and experiences while we were here (the bowling centre)… then we try to interpret that by making the flow of the movement, as well as the speed of the bowling ball, and express it through the colours, which will, in turn, express the delightfulness and happiness portrayed by visitors playing here,” explained Hairol.

The “Arttralia” group has its facebook page where the public can see all their artwork and book for mural art requests. Text and images courtesy of Anwar Hj Rosly of The Brunei Times.

Have you seen the broadway play “Wicked” in Singapore? Lots of Bruneians have caught this play at the Grand Theatre, Marina Bay Sands. I really love the show. Two thumbs up!!


The glamourous night of Nuffnang Asia-Pacific Blog Awards 2011 hosted in KL. These were the two hosts of the evening.

We Bought A Zoo

We Bought A Zoo. I saw this on Rottentomatoes and it has a fresh rating but I was quite turned off by the title itself because I thought to myself, “Couldn’t the producer make another suitable title?”. However, after watching the movie half way, the reason for the producer was justified on the title of the movie.

I havent seen the trailers so I had no expectations of the movie but a good word of mouth from Sophia and Del suggest that this should be a pleasant watch, considering both are very hard to please when it comes to movies *lol*

I was drawn from the beginning till the end of the movie. This is what sometimes is lacking in hollywood movies – moral values and lessons that can be learned from a movie. “We Bought A Zoo” displayed these elements and I was pretty moved by them. This flick would have easily made my top 10 list of 2011. A heart warming movie where Matt Damon pulled off a commendable performance. I still love Matt Damon in Good Will Hunting and that was his best for me. Screenings are pretty low at The Mall Cineplex but if you do have time, I highly recommend you this. Verdict: 8/10


A crowd pleaser and touches the heart. Catch it while you can.
