THE CHRONICLES & MEMOIRS CAUGHT IN PHOTOGRAPHY
A few fast sequence of successes happened over the weekend. I wanted to call it the Good 63 Start because it happened on the weekend of 16/3.
The 1st success was the crowning of Raja Lawak 2008 Malaysia, which went to Ahmad Nabil Ahamad aka NABIL on Friday 14/3. I have followed the last few series of this season and I must admit NABIL was very good. So cool and delivered his punch lines beautifully. Congratulations to Nabil for winning this year crown.
The 2nd success that I would like to note here is the 1st win by McLaren Mercedes at 2008 Formula 1 event in Australia last Sunday. I hope it was the beginning and a sign of the future crowning of the Youngest Formula 1 Champion Driver in F1 history in the not too distant future. Good luck to Lewis Hamilton for the good start and lets see if he could grab the F1 Youngest Crown, which he lost last year by just 1 point. Till we meet again for the 2nd race of the year in Sepang Kuala Lumpur.
Last Saturday also saw the beginning of Akademi Fantasia 6, which started with Tirai Akademi Fantasia. Among the surprises this year included the selection of a 45 year old grandmom as one of the students, the sister of Siti Nurhaliza also as one of the students, the selection of Sarimah Ibrahim who will jointly co-host this season series with AC Mizal to replace Aznil Nawawi.
Next achievement is something that is very close to home. Brunei is still the leading contender for the Race For A Living Planet organised by Standard Chartered Bank. (Updated on 18/3/2008: The environmental challenge has officially been closed. The final result will be published on 4th April 2008). The 3 top countries for the RFALP will share the US$1million prize. Congratulations to all the Bruneians who has contributed to this success. I hope the money will be put into good use for the benefit of our environment and eco-tourism industry. Also, lets maintain our pledges and aim to live in a comfortable planet. Lets start with reducing the water wastages from our tap, especially when we brush our teeth - do not let the tap running while we brush our teeth. Such small matters will lead to greater savings.
Last Sunday 16/3, I also attended a workshop at UBD which I hope will change my world forever. It was a good beginning and lets pray for my success. But the number 63 meant a lot that day (my birthyear which coincide with the date of the day and some good signal from the same number). Enough said about it now and lets move on.
Last but not least, on behalf of the whole family, we would like convery our special congratulations to all the birthday celebrants this weekend. Hope you had some good blasts with families and friend.

Do you want to win B$500.00 (Brunei Dollar Five Hundreds Only)? Have you ever hear about THE GREATEST RACE ON EARTH? Read on...
The Greatest Race on Earth (GROE) is open to any team of four runners. Each person runs one of the four marathons in Nairobi, Singapore, Mumbai and Hong Kong. The teams with the fastest aggregate time get a chance to share a prize pool of just over US$1 million. Brunei was represented by Roslani Awang Hidop (Nairobi - 31st out of 36), Zulkifle Liman (Singapore - 26th out of 33), Sefli Anak Ahar (Mumbai - 25th out of 35) and Md Rudiin Takong (Hong Kong - 30th out of 35). Overall, Brunei is on the 31st position of GROE.
The other exciting part of GROE is the Race for A Living Planet. This is an environmental challenge where Standard Chartered has partnered up with the World Wildlife Fund for Nature (WWF) to provide US$1 million to the top three countries who acquire the most environmental pledges per capita. The funding will go towards the winning country's environmental conservation projects and is part of Standard Chartered Bank's global commitment to the environment in the Race for A Living Planet, which is linked to the GROE marathon series, a press release from Standard Chartered Bank stated.
And, guess what? As of today, Brunei is still the leader of the Race for A Living Planet, followed by Thailand, Taiwan, Hong Kong and the rest.
On 25th February, Standard Chartered Bank Brunei launched a contest open to all members of the public in BRUNEI to encourage all individuals above the age of 18 to pledge for their country and raise the awareness on environmental concerns. The first individual who submitted 500 pledges would be awarded a B$500 My Dream Savings Account. The second and third individual who submitted 500 pledges would be awarded B$100 each and the first 10 individuals who submitted 50 pledges would receive B$50 each.
