30th May 2009, Saturday- Sekolah Rendah Tentera Laut Diraja Brunei (SRTLDB) held a farewell and appreciation high tea ceremony for their retired teacher, student-teachers from University Brunei Darussalam (UBD), and for the choir trainers at the Rizqun Coffee House of the Rizqun International Hotel today.

The ceremony began with the recital of Surah al-Fatihah and the prayer. Then, our principal delivered her speech. In her speech, she thanked the retired teacher, student-teachers, and the choir trainers for their contributions to the school.

The retired teacher is Ustazah Hajah Nordiah, our ex-Islamic religious education teacher. The student-teachers from UBD are Bazilin and Shamsiah who have done their teaching practice at the school from February 2009 to May 2009. Lastly, the choir trainers are from the Royal Brunei Navy.

I personally thanked them for their contributions to the school. And, thanks to Royal Brunei Navy for letting the trainers to train the school's choir teams: Team 1- patriotic song, Team 2- road safety campaign, and Team 3- anti-drug campaign.

The school's principal also presented the souvenirs to retired teacher, student-teachers, and the trainers.

24th May 2009, Sunday -- NBT (Brunei) Sendirian Berhad held The Lexus IS300 Show at their Lexus showroom today, from 2.oopm to 5.30pm. As a fan of Lexus car especially the IS model, I made my time to come to have a look at the newly face-lifted car.

p/s: The list price is about BND73,532. The selling price is a lot less than this. So, it will cost about BND1000 per month (based on 7 years monthly instalment). Though Lexus IS300 is my favourite car, it is still my dream car i.e a car that I can not afford.

Perhaps, VW Golf GTI will suit my budget. VW Golf GTI (Mark V) only costs a little more than BND50,000. However, VW Golf GTI is also still my dream car status NOT my wishlist status. And I am not easy with the single reverse lamp of the VW Golf GTI has (other cars have two reverse lamps). Why?
