17th June 2009, Wednesday – This morning I have the opportunity to attend a public lecture that was held at Balai Sarmayuda, Dewan Bahasa dan Pustaka, Berakas. The lecture entitled “Unsur Saintifik dalam Pemikiran Masyarakat Melayu: Satu Kajian Korpus” (Scientific Elements in the Malay Society’s Mind: A Corpus Study).

It was delivered by Prof. Dr. Nor Hashimah binti Jalaluddin, a professor at Program Linguistik, Pusat Pengajian Bahasa dan Linguistik, Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia in Malaysia.

And…about today’s weather

The above photo was taken at about 8.00am, a few minutes before I went into the Dewan Sarmayuda. It was raining for a few hours since early this morning. This was the second consecutive day there was rains in Brunei (especially in Berakas area) after it was experiencing dry weather for a few weeks. The first day was yesterday i.e in the afternoon.

p/s: Still in the process of reading the lecture’s text, notes, and abstract as well recalling what Prof. Dr. Nor Hashimah was saying in order to understand the topic further.
