Are you ready for next Sunday?

Bank Islam Brunei Darussalam (BIBD) would like to bring to the attention of registrants of Charity Expedition for ALAF that the Race Entry Pack Collection (REPC) venue has been moved to the Orchid Garden Hotel.

Participants can collect their Race Entry Packs from 7th until 9th October (Sunday to Tuesday) between 1.30pm and 8.30pm.

Also, this Sunday, October 7, one of CE-ALAF’s supporters, GetFit CrossFit (GFCF) will be conducting a CrossFit Demo and fitness clinic from 2pm until 5pm for members of the public especially registrants of CE-ALAF. It will be held at the parking lot between the Orchid Garden Hotel and the Anggrek Desa Swimming Pool. Interested participants are advised to come in their sports attire.

The aim of the clinic is to demonstrate certain stretches and workouts individuals can do before going for a run or cycle. It is also to showcase that anyone and everyone can do crossfit workouts.

Charity Expedition for ALAF or CE-ALAF is a first of its kind charity drive that gives local runners and cyclists the opportunity to play a major part in helping underprivileged children stay in school.

The ALAF programme, which is short for “Advocating Life-Long Learning for an Aspiring Future”, is a BIBD CSR initiative that seeks to support the nation’s aspiration to build a well-educated and highly skilled human resource pool by providing opportunities of educational progression to underprivileged students.

The Charity Expedition, carrying the tagline “One step, one pedal, one education’, will consist of running, cycling and a charity bazaar, will be held on October 14 at the Hassanal Bolkiah National Stadium. The event will feature five different sporting events – 2.5km Fun Run, 5km Run, 10km Run, 21km Half-Marathon and a 53km Cycling Expedition.

The 10km run and the 21km half-marathon are competitive races in which runners can win marathon packages to Melboune, Hongkong, Singapore, Kuala Lumpur and Kota Kinabalu. First, second and third prize winners will also receive an exclusive winners T-Shirt, together with winning medals.

I bet when you are in Changi Airport (Singapore), you like to do last minute shopping, right? Transiting in Singapore just became more attractive with the launch of the Changi Transit Programme.

The CDVs are valid for one-time use at all retail, food and service outlets located at the transit and public areas of Terminals 1, 2 and 3, excluding outlets in the Arrival Baggage Claim Halls. They can also be redeemed for one-time access to the Ambassador Transit Lounge at Terminals 2 and 3 for up to three hours. Lounge usage includes showers with basic toiletries, light refreshments, free flow of non-alcoholic beverages, local and international reading materials, as well as complimentary WiFi.

With more than 280 retail, service and food and beverage outlets in the transit areas as well as amenities such as movie theatres and themed gardens, travellers have much to experience when transiting through the award-winning Changi Airport. A convenient Skytrain transport system allows passengers easy access to all three of Changi’s terminals.
