PJN Misses Cut: Debators practiced all week long missing their classes, and what they obtain was not satisfactory. According to Nerrisa, a supporter for the team, PJN debators have more superbly crafted speeches compared to the debators from SMSA, however their points of informations did not manage to please the adjudicators.

Great party for Song Song

A great start at two: Two years old, congratulations! Song Song, a neighbour of mine, living just a stone’s throw away has just cherished his second birthday party yesterday with distinguished guests sitting all over the area, children and adults. A bouncer made the party more happening with sound of children screaming and their footsteps brought a sense of enjoyment to the party. Gifts were handed over, one by one, to fill the prizes section, and there was a range of sizes, as big as a laptop and as small as a handbag.

Click on the button, save energy. Radio broadcaster, Allen Shim, this morning urged the public to save on energy for Brunei Darussalam, on a live broadcast over Pilihan FM sharing tips from the Taman Sir Muda Omar Ali Saifuddien in BSB. The energy week will go on for a week from today onwards.

Besides that, Allen also stressed that saving energy should not only be done during this one week of Energy Saving Week but should be an on-going procedure to save Brunei from energy wastage. He added that energy is generated from fossil fuels which are non-renewable once it is depleted from the earth.

Last words from Vance Tan, switch that light off if you’re not using it.

Anyway, there were already a team of Korean Culture Club members from Universiti Brunei Darussalam (UBD) just in time for me to capture. There was a supervising teacher, whom I believe was the Korean lecturer from UBD. Cikgu Marina Chek bte Bujang, the principal of the school attended the short activity along with the chief of CCA activities, Cikgu Zainab.
