DPMM FC vs Geylang United in League Cup Final. Catch on Astro 801 later at 8:30pm
Will the glory days be back?? DPMM FC are back in the finals of the S•League finals and the last time they won the Cup was back in 2009. That was DPMM FC’s best result on foreign soil.
Tonight they take on Geylang in the finals. Don’t be fooled that Geylang are no pushovers despite being on the bottom of the S*League table and earlier on, DPMM FC beat Geylang in the group stage 3-1 a few weeks ago. So will it be another victory for DPMM FC?
Good luck to DPMM FC tonight and you can catch them live on TV tonight on channel 801 (I hope).
So are you gamed??
I’ve witnessed many charity drives and initiatives through marathon/run/cycling events but I have to salute Bank Islam Brunei Darussalam for coming up with such an awesome initiative through their Corporate Social Responsibility programme and that is “Charity Expedition for ALAF” or CE-ALAF which aims at helping underprivileged students in their educational progress.
ALAF stands for Advocating Life-Long Learning for an Aspiring Future and under this program, BIBD has created this systematic approach of sponsorship where the public can help to support one of the most crucial element in our lives – education. I believe education is very important as it can open many doors regardless of your financial background. In a long run, this can benefit the recipients as they are able to be independent and stand on their two feet. This initiative gets a two thumbs up from me.
This year, BIBD is organising the CE-ALAF which consists of running, cycling and a charity bazaar. The date of the event is slated for 14th October 2012 and the venue will be at the Hassanal Bolkiah Stadium.
You can check out the details of the run from the diagram below and BIBD has create two categories for Open and Brunei. I like the idea that the winners for the Bruneian category will be rewarded with marathon packages to selected destinations such as Melbourne, Hong Kong, Kuala Lumpur and Kota Kinabalu. Now that’s such a great incentive for us locals to take up jogging and also promoting a healthier lifestyle.
Amazing prices for Open and Brunei category

The late Dayang Sharifah Hjh Maimunah Syed Mohammad passed away and she has touched many people around her
Her passing has been heart felt by hundreds. I never really knew her in person but the late Dayang Sharifah Hjh Maimunah Syed Mohammad had a meaningful impact to the Brunei community during her younger days. Sharifah Hajah Maimunah, 72, passed awat at Suri Seri Begawan Hospital in the early hours of Subuh last Wednesday, leaving behind her husband, eight children and 28 grandchildren and great grandchildren.
For your info, she was the founder of Seri Kandi Company and her role was in the food industry where she pursued her passion – cooking. She conducted numerous cooking lessons and her signature dishes were Rendang Syarifah Maimunah and Ayam Golek dishes at Seri Kandi Kitchen in KBRC.
She also attended numerous international food expos to promote local food. She published two cookbooks – Masakan Selera Srikandi 1 (1995) and Selera Srikandi 2 (2001). She had conducted cooking demonstrations on Radio Television Brunei and judged cooking competitions hosted by women’s associations nationwide.
Now Seri Kandi Company is run by her son, Shaikh Hj Khalid, who has turned the company into a huge success.
This was taken during ASEAN Food Fair in Japan and she was there to represent Brunei back in 1996
Messages of condolences and testimonials flooded the social network from those who knew her or of her. From these, we could see how much impact she has brought to the local community and touching other people’s lives.
Below are some of the comments extracted from Facebook and instagram.
Haslina Taib: I remembered my late father would be calling in my mom when he appeared on TV to watch her cooking new style and recipes. The community united and believed in their local stories. I do not knowher but the recalled events made my parents and my taste buds happy. She’s the mother that inspires the giving of great simple pleasures in life. She had lived to the fullest. She filled our lives. Al-Fatihah.

May Allah Subhanawatallah reward you for your good deeds and place her amongst the pious syurga dwellers!! Amin Ya Rabbil alamin! She was a great mother and a great woman.
Sabrina Mahmud: Indeed she was an icon to simply everyone. Ya Allah, Engkau masukkanlah dia kedalam syurga Mu bersama iman. Al-Fatihah to Allahyarhamah Nini Sharifah Maimunah.
