This is something refreshing.. Well, we have seen a lot of cycling activities locally but this is the first time that Brunei is hosting a regional event where we have participants from Iran, the Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore to name a few. In other words, this is the first ever international cycling event in Brunei.

The event kicked off at Jalan Sultan yesterday and it was flagged off by the Minister of Culture, Youth and Sports. It’s interesting to see an event like ButraHeidelbergCement Tour de Brunei 2011 to take place in the Sultanate. So the first stage of the race was from Jalan Sultan, Bandar Seri Begawan to Dewan Santap, Jalan Maulana, Kuala Belait (a distance of 150 kilometres).

The one to watch out for is our two Brunei teams – the Brunei National Cycling Team and the Lof Bread Team. The second stage which happens today will be at KBRC Sport Arena to Padang Jabatan, Tutong Town.

The latest results for Stage 1: WHITE JERSEY (Young Rider) – Mohd Adiq Husainie Othman (MAS). RED JERSEY (King of Mountain) – Lioyd Lucien Reynante from (PHL). GREEN JERSEY (Sprint by Points) – Nawuti Liphongyu (THAI). YELLOW YERSEY (General Classification) – Mohd Adiq Husainie Othman (MAS).

For those in Brunei-Muara, the final stage will be in town area and this should be a finale to catch. I shall update you more on this :)) Thanks to the Brunei Darussalam Cycling Federation (organiser), Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sports (organiser), ButraHeidelbergCement (sponsor) and Brunei Tourism (sponsor) for making this event a success.

The article that wasn’t published in The Brunei Times back in May but if you want the real deal, do read EmmaGoodEgg’s version about pornography in Indonesia and her views on former Peterpan lead singer, Ariel, and and also “Miyabi”. This is perhaps one of the taboo subjects that’s hardly been raised in Brunei unless it’s concerning of CD shops being raided of pornography. I just find this article interesting and nicely written by EmmaGoodEgg. Oh yeah, if you happen to solve the riddle at the last paragraph, EmmaGoodEgg will be more than happy to treat coffee at Sorriso.
