Brunei Darussalam 3rd June 2010. I join Gala Award Dinner, Brunei Halal 2010 held at The Empire Hotel & Country Club, Brunei Darussalam on 3rd June 2010. Organized by Brunei Wafirah Holding & Ghanim International Food Corporation. Events begin with Doa, opening remark from CEO organizer. Adding flavor to this year's programme is one minute of speech by Chef Boby Chinn.

Highlighted on that night were menus for dinner. Three course of winning menu from “Cooking from the Heart” competition were served from appetizer, main course and dessert. The announcement of the winners was made as well that night for public category and inspiring Chef

Feedback on the program, corporate video presentation was stated on the program but was not happened due to technical problem and Salawat and other Islamic religious song performance by group on that night was not suitable to be called as entertainment while having meals, i think!!
But overall program was bringing positive message to local and global market.

ENERGY DAY @ The Empire Hotel by Sumantri

Dear everyone

In a joint effort to send a strong message in the struggle against climate change and caring for our planet, The Empire Hotel & Country Club, Brunei Darussalam will be joining hands with people of Brunei under initiative from Prime Ministry’s Office and pledging to conserve energy from 9.00AM to 9.00 PM during ENERGY DAY on24th May 2010.
We encourage you and your family to do SOS (S)WITCH (O) OFF & (S)ET in your resident
1) Switch off Unnecessary Lights
Only light the room that you are using and before you exit the rooms simply switch the lights off. The less time you spend with the lights on, the more energy you save. A normal bulb will use 60 watts of energy an hour, meaning that you could conserve nearly 22,000 watts of energy per year by just switching off one bulb for one hour every day. That’s enough energy to power your television for a month. Also try to consider how many lights you need on, or if you need one on at all.

2) Switch Off Water Heater When Not in Use
Is it necessary to keep the water heater on throughout the day when no one is using it? Another simple way to save energy and water is to take shorter hot showers. You will use less hot water - and water heaters account for nearly 1/4 of your home's energy use. Imagine the savings you could gain!
3) Set Your Air Conditioner Temperature to 24 degrees Celsius or at least 1 degree Celsius Higher than Usual
Whether you’ve got a central air conditioner or window Air-conditioning units, the right settings can help you maximize energy savings. The air conditioner’s thermostat should be set to a comfortable 24 degrees. Or you could gradually increase the temperature by 1 degree. Just a 1 degree higher setting could mean significant energy savings of 10%.
And In conjunction with this ENERGY DAY all petrol stations in Brunei will be selling fuel at commercial prices, without subsidy.
We also encourage our in house guest to participate in their own way, we plan to minimize water heater consumption as well as increase Air-conditioning temperature one degree Celsius highest than usual in non essential areas where not occupied but no compromise will be made with regards to guest service standard.
“Value Our Precious Energy” we can make a difference if we act together. Join ENERGY DAY on 24th May 2010 don’t forget three steps of SOS
Thank you for your support and cooperation.

Deedat Wei Sheng E.Sumantri

In this 3 month Deedat’s continues to soak up everything in his environment. His favorite activity is watching what goes on around him specially orchid painting ( painted by my wife ) and light, and he understands now that i will soothe, feed, and play with him when he needs you. He'll delight me with his first genuine smile so handsome. My baby enjoys the response he elicits with his grin and comes to understand that smiling is one way to let you know he's satisfied. By 3 months, he'll add some gurgling sounds to his smile, initiating a primitive form of conversation with you.
My junior’s goos and gurgles are probably going strong, but now he's also making consonant sounds, sputtering Ps and Bs and Ms and Ls, aghuhghuh…. I keep saying Assalamualikum to him
I Love you Junior!!!
