Saw this in the Borneo Bulletin today. Haile Gebrelassie set a world record in a men's one hour race running 21.285 KM. Wow.... that's half marathon distance in one hour. It probably take me more than 2½ hours to run that distance.

2 May 1957, 7:45pm correspond to 1st Syawal, Radio Brunei began its initial broadcast with the female voice announcing "Inilah Radio Brunei" (This is Radio Brunei). The female presenter name is Dayangku Intan (Pengiran Hajah Intan binti PDP Pengiran Haji Apong).This morning I attended an Golden Jubilee (50 years) Radio Brunei Celebration Opening Ceremony at Radio Televisyen Brunei. Guest of Honor was the Crown Prince.
I was thinking of bringing my digital camera but then I thought I just leave it as my camera is not really that small. Sometime I just wish I got those small camera which can slip in my pocket. All guest attended this morning was given a goodie bag. Inside the bag there's a book and a couple of sourvenoir. The book is very interesting. I actually like the book. There's lots of old photos.
The book
One of the section in the book show photos of Radio Brunei visitors also comprised popular actors and actresses from overseas from the golden years to the 80s and 90s.

Recommended link :The Daily Brunei Resources have always been one of my favorite blog to visit. In fact, I've been reading his posts everyday ever since I started blogging last December. I'm really impressed with his writing and how he can post everyday especially those related to Brunei history. It comes to a surprise when I visited his blog and see that he decided to stop the blog.
Anyway, I do respect his decision, it's not easy doing a blog post everyday as what he did for the last 2 years. Personally, I've gain more knowledge regarding Brunei and the histories from his blog.
Thank you Mr BR (photo taken from here)

1. Do a calibration run also to check whether the measurement is correct. Here's how I plan to do it.
- 1KM run at 8.5KM/H
- 1KM walk at 5.0KM/H
2. Once calibration is set, go for a one hour run..... hopefully!

This morning I went to bandar to see the National Flag raising ceremony in conjunction with the 23rd National Day Celebration (23rd February). The ceremony was held at the open foyer of the Sultan Haji Hassanal Bolkiah Foundation (in front of the SOAS Mosque).

Also not forgetting, there was a choir group who sang the patriotic songs during the ceremony.

This is the first time I went to see the ceremony and I didn’t expect it to be a very formal function. Should I knew it earlier, I will wear something more appropriate. Probably then I can get more close up photos.

I was wondering why there's a Russian plane here yesterday until I read the Borneo Bulletin today. Apparently it was delivering three S92A helicopters for Brunei Shell Petroleum Company Sdn Bhd (BSP).
More info on Antonov AN-124 here and S92A helicopters here. Also don't forget to checkout the video below.
