Belalong Adventure
May 30th
Who said Temburong is only about forests? Well, if anyone has that perception, then you’re wrong! The Belalong area at Temburong is about the fun that awaits every tourist or rather visitor, as the place is accessible by quick speedboats, ruffling your hairs in the wind and speeding off in sprays of white, clear water. An expedition by Secondary 4 students proved that Belalong is more than what you see on posters.

What is Aiman looking at? *curious*

Hallo…we’re ready!

Afif is on Facebook!
May 29th
The moment is here: Muhammad Afif bin Abu Bakar is now on Facebook! This is his first ever appearance on Facebook after a few invitations by his friends as well as his teachers.
This young lad has been a great sport throughout the years in his beloved, everlasting cherished school, Sekolah Menengah Pengiran Jaya Negara Pengiran Haji Abu Bakar and was a monitor in the classroom as soon as he stepped into the school. He emerged to a prefect in his second year, an assitant head prefect in his third year and a head prefect in his fourth year. For the fifth year, he resigned from the seat of being a head prefect with the reason of needing to concentrate with his studies.

He and his beloved hoe
Anyway, add him up at www.vancetan.com/afif.

Reminiscing the past through galleries
May 28th

Click to enter: Barcelona 2 Man Utd 0

“It’s all over! Barcelona are the European Champions!” That was the number 94th commentary displayed on ESPN’s Soccernet Commentary Website.
Two goals were scored by Barcelona’s forward player, Samuel Eto’o and by Barcelona’s mid-fielder, Lionel Messi which added on to the team’s total victory of 2 points against Manchester United of 0 points.
Photo source (on the left): Reuters; forward player, Samuel Eto’o scoring a goal for Barcelona.

Reminiscing the past: As I scrolled and schemed through my gallery, I recollect a bunch of memories from the photographs, souvenirs people gave me and a few encouraging words stamped on priceless papers. It then soon brought my into the situtation where I was, remembering what it was like from the photographs: the atmosphere, the people around and so on. Of course, at that time, I was still not into websites and stuff, and even that time Ranoadidas and Anakbrunei were already present in the blogging scene. Well, if at that time I had been into websites, there would be the coverage. But, I managed to get my colleaques (or rather acquaintance) to snap a very valuable photograph with His Majesty The Sultan And Yang Dipertuan Negara Brunei Darussalam, although the quality of the photgraph may not be as good as a professional one.

With His Majesty during the 100th Health Day

Vance Tan co-sponsored jerseys
May 27th
I was just strolling across the WWW and came across this wonderful website which reminds us about how life is, expressed in a simple language, with meaningful definitions behind each paragraph. Brunel888 is the blog. Check out the blog by clicking here (www.brunel888.blogspot.com).



Influenza A H1N1: Singapore has confirmed its first case of Influenza A (H1N1-2009), according to the Ministry of Health of Singapore. The patient is currently being treated at the Communicable Disease Centre at Tan Tock Seng Hospital (TTSH) and is in stable condition. The patient is a 22 year-old Singaporean female who was in New York from May 14- 24. She arrived back in Singapore from New York on SQ25 on 26 May at 06.30hrs.

Seen the VanceTan jersey? Well, vancetan.com co-sponsored the jerseys for the University Brunei Darussalam’s cup few months back but sometimes people just want to see the team in the jerseys. I think this post is not too late, rather than it not being published.

Badas Meteor Paradise: Yet another garden to look forward too. Images below are some photographs of the flower garden I’ve visited in Badas and definitely that was the best experience with flowers. Varieties of flowers were planted in this small plot of land where you can really find great combinations to gift to your loved ones. Great experience!

How about some white ones?
