One more week before elimination
The judges for the bFIT elimination next weekend – David from Fitness Zone, Nana from b•mobile and Umi from Health Promotion Centre
The judges discussing on format for the elimination process next weekend. This should be interesting.
11 more days to go and we will know who will be the unlucky 10 contestants that will leave the bFIT competition. Yes, 10 participants will be eliminated by 29th October 2012. So after being in the bFIT programme for a couple of weeks, the journey will end for some of them.
According to bFIT organisers, the interests and motivation from the contestants were higher from their expectations and they are very involved especially during the weeknights where they have through a few workout sessions. Some even turned every day at Fitness Zone to work out though the minimum requirement is twice a week.
The judges will also look at their diet log profile on the food intake they have taken in the past week or so. Well, let’s just say that the organisers will know if you are not being truthful about your food logs. Level of fitness as well as character will also be assessed. For your info, if the group is the leading group among the rest, they will be saved from elimination on that particular week. Hence those individuals from other groups will be eliminated.
This weekend, the challenge will be at Belapan Sports Complex and they will be doing some track events. This is a warm-up session leading into elimination round for next Sunday. Good luck to the participants and well done to the organisers, b•mobile with their collaboration with Fitness Zone and Health Promotion Centre, Ministry of Health.

Awesome fast Epson printers!!
Vincent Pao (center) with Zul Abd Rahman and Epson Sales Manager Eric Tang
Concepts Computer ran two new Epson printers, the L210 model, for more than 12 hours to test its competence and durability and yes, the model delivers. I was quite impressed by the speed and the economical ink and this could be a unique selling point for students.
The Epson L210 was launched yesterday at Concepts Computer with the presence of Concepts Computer General Manager Vincent Pao and Marketing Executive Zul Abd Rahman and Epson Sales Manager Eric Tang.
What’s unique about the printer is that the ink system is located in an extended column so you don’t really have to open up your printer and the refilling is quite straight forward. The other awesome thing about the Epson printers is the after sale service. It has a one-year warranty and you will be able to get it fixed quickly.
The ink is sold t $10 per bottle and this is considered one of the cheapest ink bottles in the market and it can last up to 4,000 pages (awesome!!). This time round, Concepts Computer will be having a promotional price of $198 and it comes with four 70ml bottles of original ink in black, cyan, magenta and yellow.
According to Zul, Concepts Computer will be seeking out customers’ response to both L210 and ME-101 promotions before it goes back to its original price of $228 and $148 respectively.
He also mentioned that Concepts Computer will be setting up an Epson booth at the Fatabarak Trade Fair from October 25 to 28 and also at the Charity Expo in the Hassanal Bolkiah Indoor Stadium from October 27 to 28.
For more information, visit the nearest Concepts Computer showroom or call 2233551/ 2233552/ 2448102.
The Epson L210 printer is amazing!!! and the ink system is an extension of the printer

Raviseine, the new product launched at Paloma, The Mall
Paloma Perfumery launched Raviseine, a new non-alcoholic perfume from France and the ceremony was graced by the guest of honour was the Deputy Permanent Secretary of Ministry of Industry and Primary Resources Hjh Hasnah Ibrahim.
Also present at the event was Julian Wee, the managing partner of Paloma, His Excellency Louis LeVert, the French Ambassador to Brunei, Pierre Imhof, the president of the Brunei-French Business Association and Farrukh Raza, the Commercial Director of Raviseine France.
Julian Wee said, “Paloma has become well known as a perfumery that carries a wide range of genuine branded perfumes, but these perfumes all contain alcohol. A lot of customers have been asking for alcohol-free perfumes, so I was very excited to meet the Farrukh brothers and worked very hard at convincing them that Paloma would do a great job of selling and marketing the Raviseine brand.”
“I am confident that Raviseine will become the number one selling perfume brand in Brunei Darussalam,” she added.
Hjh Hasnah gave a speech during the event, explaining how the halal industry goes beyond the food sector. She mentioned of the Middle East, particularly the United Arab Emirates, is currently the hub of halalcosmetics, with beauty treatment market segments projected to increase by 12.5 per cent per year.
“The market for halal products increases with the growth of the world’s Muslim population and the economy of the Islamic countries,” she said.”Out of the 6.8 billion people in the world, 1.6 billion are Muslims, which means there is enormous potential for halal products to succeed in the vast market.”

The French Ambassador then made a brief speech on the importance of introducing French products into the local market, followed by a presentation on Raviseine by Farrukh Raza.
The internationally registered French brand has its roots in two cultures and got its name from the Eastern lands where River Ravi flows and Paris, the City of Light, which is crossed by the River Seine.
With its in-depth research and development, the company has come up with 12 different fragrances; six for men and six for women. Raviseine is now available at Paloma outlets around the Sultanate.

The news that grabbed headlines in yesterday’s paper
I believe the story won’t end here. Yesterday headliners saw “Komunis” shop owner being convicted and sentenced to six weeks in prison. With a maximum penalty of six months behind bars, Yong Teck Sang only received six weeks but allowed a stay of execution pending an appeal. According to the report, Judge Pengiran Hajah Hanani Pengiran Haji Metusain deferred sentencing the defendant on Thursday to invite the prosecution to make submissions on sentencing, and yesterday decided a custodial sentence was proper.
The court mentioned that Yong have been running a “dishonest business” and the court was of the view that he knew he was selling pirated DVDs. Him being described as showing lack of remorse didn’t help matters.
For your info, he was convicted of selling 135 copies of CDs and VCDS of Malaysian singer Siti Nurhaliza, a copyright product under the flagship of Suria Records Sdn Bhd, Malaysia. This case have been ongoing for more than two years and finally the verdict was in favour of the prosecutor, formerly handled by DPP Joe Chan Jin Yuh and also Suria Records.
Mr. Tan Ngiap Foo, CEO of Recording Industry Association of Malaysia (RIM) and I during the Anugerah Industry of Malaysia event back in November 2011
In a quick telephone interview with Tan Ngiap Foo, CEO of Recording Industry Association of Malaysia (RIM), he was delighted that the defendant was convicted and he hopes that this will be a learning lesson for others who doesn’t comply with selling copyright CDs, VCDs or DVDS. This was the first case that was brought to the court. Nonetheless Mr. Tan still notices some flaws in the system.
In Malaysia, the copyright law was introduced and violators will be fined RM 2,000 per song as quoted by the CEO of RIM. So that would mean that Yong would have to be fined at least RM 270,000 or BND 120,000 and the jail term won’t be exceeding 5 years. In Brunei, it’s a different story as the punishment is not as severe – a maximum of 6 months and BND 5,000 fine. In this case, Yong was sentenced to six weeks jail term and a BND 5,000 fine only.
Mr. Tan hopes that the Brunei Government can look into this matter in making the laws stricter and use Malaysia or Singapore as an example in how they combat piracy. He also hope that the verdict will take Brunei off the “watch list” from the Office of the Uniter States Trade Representative (USTR) where the Sultanate has been in the list due to the violation of intellectual property rights.
During the interview, Mr. Tan expressed his gratitude and appreciation to the Brunei Government, the Attorney’s General Chamber and most of all to DPP Joe Chan who have worked tirelessly for a long period of time on this particular case and also to ASP Naguib Dato Hj Ismail, Royal Brunei Police Force for his assistance and professionalism in carrying out the investigation in the case.
Dk Nurul Aina Syafiqah came third in the 10km category at BIBD’s CE ALAF charity run yesterday
I have never heard of her before and I just found out that she has been active in joining runs in Brunei and it was the first time that I took notice of her just because she made the podium finish. Only 8 years old, Brunei has a new rising athlete star in the making and she has already made headlines.
If she had finished a minute slower, I wouldn’t have known of her and even with a top 10 finish, it is already considered a remarkable feat for an 8 year old. She missed the second spot by 21 seconds and she is ranked 6th in terms of timing for both Women’s Brunei and Women’s Open categories combined.
I’m not sure what her personal best is but she clocked 10km run in under one hour with a time of 53 mins 38 seconds. Considering of her age and her height, this is still a remarkable feat. She even overtook my buddy @keeranj who ran using my bib number since I wasn’t able to participate. Let’s hope the Brunei Athletics Association will take notice of her or maybe they already have.
Let’s not put our high hopes and expectations too because she’s still incredibly young and let her enjoy her run knowing that she has a bright future ahead of her.
