Last Sunday I paid a visit to Business School as they were organising the Business School Business Project 2012 and every year they have risen the bar. It was a two day event though I only dropped by for a bit on Sunday but I saw great efforts from the students of Business School. Perhaps one of the exciting things organised was the Nerf gun competition which was held at the field. I expect the nerf gun era to rise in popularity since paintball is still not approved in Brunei. Well done once again to the students!!
Royal Brunei Airlines is increasing services to Melbourne and will be offering daily flights at the start of the Summer Schedule on 25 March 2012. The enhanced scheduled was announced by Deputy Chairman of Royal Brunei Airlines, Mr. Dermot Mannion in a press conference at the Crown Metropol in Melbourne on 30 January 2012. It was attended by Victoria Tourism, Melbourne Airport Authority, local travel agents, Brunei Tourism, members of RBA senior management, and more customers.
The same-time daily services will also improve connections and journey options for passengers travelling between Melbourne and London, Dubai, Manila, Bangkok, Sabah, and Sarawak.
Deputy Chairman of Royal Brunei Airlines, Mr. Dermot Mannion, stated āTravelling to and from Melbourne, the cultural capital of Australia, has never been easier. With our standardised timings coupled with our daily services, it is now just a hop, a skip and a jump away to travel to, and experience the culture of, Brunei ā the Green Heart of Borneo and beyond.ā
Minister for Tourism and Major Events in Victoria, Louise Asher said she was delighted Royal Brunei Airlines had decided to increase services from four times weekly to daily starting next March. She stated, āThe burgeoning relationship between Victoria and Royal Brunei Airlines is going from strength to strength and I look forward to continuing this mutually beneficial relationship. South-East Asia is one of Victoriaās fastest growing markets and these additional Royal Brunei Airlines services will enable greater tourism and trade linkages and opportunities across this valuable growth market.ā
Melbourne Airport Chief Executive Officer, Mr Chris Woodruff stated, āAs Royal Bruneiās only Australian destination, we welcome Royal Bruneiās increased services to Melbourne Airport. In addition to a link to Brunei, Royal Bruneiās extensive Asian and European networks support Melbourne two most significant long haul markets, China and the United Kingdom.ā
Flights from Melbourne will depart on daily at 12:25pm and arrive in Bandar Seri Begawan at 05:35pm. Return flights will depart Bandar Seri Begawan at 11:50am and arrive in Melbourne at 08:45pm.

Let's get ready to Rumbleeeee….
RA says: Yess…. I kinda took my sweet time today and relaxed because I haven’t been treating my Monday like my Sunday where you take time off and do the things you want to do. That’s what I’ve been missing in the past few months.
Yesterday was an epic Sunday where I had numerous pitstops and I’m sorry for those open house invitations that I didn’t manage to attend due to time constraints. My CNY visits have been eventful to say the least and the weather has been slightly wetter than previous year.
Speaking of CNY, it has been mellow in terms of CNY celebration and some of you may have been aware of the 3-day ruling for Lion Dance performance last week. It brought some mixed reviews from the pubic especially from the Chinese community but I won’t indulge into that further. Let’s just be appreciative that the relevant associations were given the opportunity to perform lion dance in the limited time period.
January has been an awesome month.. There were tons of talking points and I’m very appreciative of my friends who have been supportive and engaging at the same time. My surprise birthday gimmick was the highlight of the month, so thank you once again guys!!! Also a big thank to my Mom and my siblings for the wonderful birthday celebration two weeks ago. I believed everyone had a blast that night too.
So what’s in store for February? All I know that I will be traveling to a few destinations – KK, KL and Bangkok with Singapore still a tentative trip. My KK trip is because of the inaugural flight of MASwings which will commence on 2nd February. This will be another alternative flight to KK apart from Royal Brunei Airlines. My KL trip is because of the upcoming Social Media Summit and also a FAM trip organised by Tourism Malaysia and AirAsia (upon confirmation) while my Bangkok trip is the overdue trip for the CN Blue concert was re-scheduled from November 2011 to February 2012 and I will be flying with the Holika Holika winners from Brunei.
I won’t be posting any stories of my coverage today (and I’m feeling lazy as well). I want to share a little of a newly acquainted Malaysian friend who resides in Melbourne. He is currently labelled as the Malaysian whiz kid Fong Wai Hong who runs OzHut which wows Aussies. He’s one great role model for upcoming young entrepreneurs.
We had the privilege to attend an “anti-conference” forum type at Fleur-de-lys this afternoon hosted by Asia Inc Forum where Wai Hong shared his stories on his successes and failures as an entrepreneur. I shall post of him soon and if you want to know more of him, just google OzHut or search it on Twitter. Amazing individual š
Be right back peeps š

This year, Masters Football will be presented by the mobile service provider, B-Mobile Communications Sdn Bhd and is scheduled to awe the audience in about 3 months time. Masters is a 6 a-side indoor football competition in the United Kingdom, where players over the age of 35 are chosen by the Masters Football Selection Committee to represent a English Premier League club which they played for.
According to Idham Abas āMasters Football has enjoyed tremendous success over the past 3 years; it has established itself as quality tournament offering excellent corporate benefits with staggering coverage. The Masters Football as a brand, is growing and its success has been recognised and fuelled expansion. Itās developed into a star studded annual event in the corporate sports calendar.

When asked why B-Mobile was interested in supporting such event, CEO Lim Ming Soon commented āIn view of last yearsā event, we believe this Masters Football event is indeed a high profile event and a good avenue for us to continue supporting. Not only are we associating B-Mobile with a renowned brand, it is also an opportunity for the company to give back to the community, a community that seems to be very well in sync with the football sports. Meeting these football legends here in Brunei marks a memorable occasion and B-Mobile hopes to give the community and especially the B-Mobile customers that privileged experienceā. He also said āFootball is more than just a sport; itās a lifestyle and a healthy one to add to it. It is an activity that should be encouraged and fostered to promote interest in healthy living amongst the community especially the youth.ā
CEO of B-Mobile further added that āThe tremendous support we have received from our customers have also made us supporting this event possible. Our marketing team have worked hard in preparing a variety of campaigns and activities for our post paid and prepaid users. Over the coming weeks until the month of April, B-Mobile will be promoting on how our customers can win tickets to watch the game, to even a close encounter meet and greet with some of their idol and other football legends to other great and exciting prizes including an all expense paid trip to watch the much anticipated football event EURO 2012 in Poland. We just started one campaign with our prepaid users giving them an opportunity to win tickets to the EPL Masters Brunei Cup when they top up $10. Post paid users will also be enjoying some campaign benefits when they pay their bills or subscribe to some of the available SMART plans.ā

Everyone yearns to lead a quality lifestyle filled with excellent health, vitality and beauty. Such a desire is possible through Zell-V with its anti-ageing products; although such a product is not the first of its kind, the store boasts to be the “first image store in Brunei”.
The grand opening of the store yesterday was commemorated with a festive performance by a lion dance troupe, followed by a ribbon cutting ceremony officiated by the High Commissioner of Malaysia to Brunei, Dato Abdullah Sani Omar and his spouse Datin Adeda Rahimah Ahmad, along with international artiste and Zell-VAmbassador, Rosyam Nor, Zell-VMedical Advisor Dato Dr Nor Shahidah Khairullah and KFCManaging Director, Nelky Goh.
The event was held at the store’s premise on the first floor of the Rizqun International Hotel at the Mall in Gadong. After the ribbon cutting ceremony, the event continued with a tour around the premise and a health talk presentation entitled “How To Defy Ageing With Zell-V Cellular Therapy” by Dato Dr Nor Shahidah Khairullah.
She touched on the product from an aesthetic to a medical point of view; essentially on how Zell-V works, how it is effective in defying ageing, and how people can benefit from it.
Rosyam Nor, a Malaysian celebrity and spokesperson for the product, also shared on how the product has helped him keep fit, be energised and focused on his everyday work in the entertainment industry.
Other highlights of the opening included a free cell check (live blood analysis) and health consultation by two medical specialists. Text by Anwar Rosly and some images courtesy of Vincent Hong.

I noticed this when I was covering the 2012 Regatta Brunei Darussalam last Sunday. There were tons of umbrellas seen in public as people were carrying them to shelter from the hot scorching sun. So I thought to myself why not have a post on the different types of umbrellas they carry. I was using my reliable HSBC black umbrella which can withstand strong winds. So peeps.. What umbrella are you? š

Many reasons why the Regatta competition should be an annual event. One of it is because this will build up the name of the capital of Brunei and give Brunei River a good brand among the locals and tourists alike. With the facelift of the BSB Waterfront, we need more activities at bandar to attract more locals.
Another reason is the cleanliness of the Brunei River. I belive the river was considerably clean and the relevant authorities have been proactive prior to the 2012 Regatta Brunei Darussalam to make sure that the river is clean from rubbish and man-litter pollution. With more government activities at BSB Waterfront, this could enforce the authorities to educate the public on disposing of their rubbish. I have to tell you that the Brunei River does collect a few rubbish here and there and it’s not good sight to see them floating by the edges of the platforms along the BSB Waterfront.
It was a great turnout today and everyone was enjoying the activities of the 2012 Regatta Brunei Darussalam. There were boat, powerboat and jet ski races to name a few. It was also great to see His Majesty the Sultan of Brunei rowing in a friendly race with other boats.
I hope to see more of activities at BSB Waterfront and kudos to Ministry of Home Affairs and the organisers for making this event possible. This is indeed a historic moment to see the Regatta event being revived.
