Toy Price Increase But Shipping Fee Is Way Worst

Wars going to continue and the increase in inflation hurt everyone globally. This year is no good and the economy in Brunei is not improving with nothing going on. I am feeling the heat these days, and the price of the toys is getting expensive. Sure, we are all still able to source cheaper prices if looking harder. The problem I see right now is the expensive shipping fee.

My recent experience online shopping in the US has been awful. My Last of the Seekers: Robot Toy & Comic I crowdfunded two years ago was stuck last year thanks to MyUS (forwarder) garbage customer's support and falling into a scam reputation because more and more sellers don’t want shipped over there. The delivery didn’t make it into their warehouse for an unknown reason and had to pay to rearrange the delivery again. Switching to another well-known forwarder (Stackry) doesn’t help either. Their shipping fee is insanely expensive (triple!) and had to wake up at 1 AM to go through three help desks to get sorted out to push the price down by 40% which cost me around SGD 160.00+ for a decent box size.

The whole situation is insane for me and had been looking for an alternative forwarder since because there is no Airmail available for Brunei until today. Getting Transformers from Hong Kong is currently out of the question because China fuck the economy over there. Their fee is no different than the US. Can you imagine, ordering one deluxe figure can get me a Voyager figure? Yeah, that’s right. That was damn expensive. If the HK Airmail is available, it will help to drive down the cost.

Japan EMS shipping right now is the best and the most affordable. I have been enjoying buying from HLJ since last year. The only problem is I can’t find much interesting stuff at Mandarake. I might try Amazon soon and see whether they can ship to Brunei.

Guide on Registering Brunei Citizenship Examination (Update#2)

I never thought registering Brunei Citizenship examination are fucking inconvenient. Worst, I don't see local bloggers write about it either in the web search telling us how and what to bring. So to make this easy, I decided to write the guide for my future reference and hopefully able to help you fellow PR. Update #2 (2023) - Proofreading, correction and added information for letter change of phone no. and home address. Update 1# (2013) - Added ICI travel document copies requirement. For those already graduated or are good at Bahasa Melayu, I strongly encourage you who are 18 years old onward to take the examination early if you intend to continue to stay in Brunei. Do not worry about wasting your time, you are young and can enjoy life. There are only two meetings and one exam, that’s it. Take the opportunity since you have the higher chance of getting citizenship.

Brunei Has a Porno Celebrity?

That was really unexpected information found in Wikipedia and surprise to know we have a porno celebrity in our country. Her name is Jayna Oso , was born in Brunei and raised at Hawaii according to the Wiki. She is really quite popular in the states and not to mention hardcore porn star. “This Photo belong to Shiroi Kaze ” I don’t really know if that is true after I decided to look through her profile in the official porn site. It somehow didn’t state that she was from Brunei instead they only mention about Malaysia. I think this might be a mistake or something and probably her mother was Malaysian. It just my guess and only she herself know the answer. Well, if you want to dug deeper, you might want to visit her My Space and drop her a question.
