EA Con 2011 – First Brunei Gunpla Competition 2011

If you remember the previous CH-Toy Nation Gunpla survey, they are now open for registration. Expressive Art Convention (partner with CH Toy Nation) will host the Gunpla contest on July 16th (Saturday) and 17th (Sunday) 2011 at Asma Hotel, Jerudong. For your information, the competition is divided into 3 categories which you may refer below.
For category A and B, I am a bit confusing but disappointed as well. They didn’t seem to mention clearly if you can work on scratch built and use Kotobukiya option parts or weapons units on the Gunpla idea. I already sent email for clarification so expect latest update from my blog.
I do understand they wanted to restrict modelers using 3rd party resin and conversion kit. However, I don’t see why Hobby Japan and Dengeki Hobby exclusive/limited kits have to be restricted as well in 1/144 category. Those kits were officially made by Bandai, not to mention they are Furoku and High Grade kit too which does not consider as resin listing. I do not see any reason why it will harm the competitions anyway when you can see more great 1/144 challenging work compare to 1/100 category.
What I am saying may offend the judges and organizers. However, as a modeler, I am hoping to see others can unlock their full potentials and show their Gunpla idea work in both A & B category because those parts of the important key resources. Why only open categories get all benefit and make both A & B category boring?

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.
