The calligraphy is also available for sale to the public.
p/s: I like the calligraphy that on display at their booth. It is much differ from the usual calligraphy that is only using pen and paper and also on the copper sheet. It has something abstract in addition to the verses from the Al-Quran.

Suzuki Swift Sport Edition will be in Brunei Darussalam?
A yellow Suzuki Swift Sport Edition was spotted parking nearby the entrance of the Boustead Service Reception on the 22nd July 2008. In the next day, I asked one of the employee at Boustead who the owner is.The owner is the company, Boustead. The Suzuki Swift Sport Edition is likely to be available for sale to the public in Brunei Darussalam sometime next year. At present, Boustead is still testing the car for Brunei 'conditions'.
Note: This is not an official statement. Just my chit-chat with the guy there. You have to ask Boustead for further details about the official availability, if any, of the Suzuki Swift Sport Edition in Brunei Darussalam.

(Photos: Abdul Rashid Haji Tahir. Taken on 23rd July 2008)p/s: Suzuki Swift Sport Edition is one of my favourite car. If I buy one, I hope I can get white, blue, yellow, or black. And, be able to afford one and having one is a dream that come true. I like my present black Suzuki Swift 1.3 Auto, but the problem is the car is less "pickup" i.e it is a bit slow at acceleration (kurang pikap nya orang Brunei).
One of the reason I like the Suzuki Swift (especially the Sport Edition) is Suzuki Swift have something European in term of its body design. To be more specific, there is the 'Mini'ness in its design. When I see the Suzuki Swift, I also 'see' the Mini.
I love Mini Cooper S very much, but the price is not very worth of money. You better buy other cars (such as Lexus IS300 or may be the coming soon BMW 1 Series) at its price.
So, the Mini Cooper S (and other Mini) is just on my computer wallpaper and become one of my favourite model car collection.
Coming Soon in Brunei Darussalam: BMW 1 Series
One of my favourite car brand is BMW. And, one of their car that become my favourite is the 1 Series.
For those who are waiting for the 1 Series, their wish to come true is very near. According to the billboard, The BMW 1 Series is arriving soon in Brunei Darussalam.

The above photo shows a billboard that advertises BMW 1 Series is arriving soon. I like the tagline "THE CHOICE IS SIMPLE". The tagline is true when you can afford one.
However, "THE CHOICE IS (still) SIMPLE" when you have a lot of other choices that can meet your budget and preferences just because you (still) have the choices.
