Rano says it's the final day of February and tomorrow is March 2010. Wow!! Two months went past sailing just like that and four months, we have the World Cup which I'm looking forward to. Traveling to SA is still not confirmed and I'm not too sure on how to go about that just yet. My HK trip is still pending and I hope it will be a YES *ahem* because I simply love that place.

But this year, I made my decision to take up the Germany trip which will be sometime in May. It will be a week's trip but I have to get my application approved to get the green light and this interesting part is that it will be a blogging workshop in Berlin. Now that's awesomeeeeee.... I've never been to Germany so that's definitely one of the places to visit this year.

Today is Chap Goh Mei which marks the end of CNY celebration. Wow, 14 days really have gone past quickly and it's sad that I didn't see that many lion dances this year as compared to last year. I can say that even the CNY celebration has toned down and I've only visited a lowly record of six houses. That's a very low scorecard for my standards *LOL* and I managed to get $20 along the way.

Yesterday I attended the introduction to Asah Mata Workshop organised by Ahim Rani and facilitated by Saiful Nang of Candid Syndrome. The workshop lasted to for two days and basically Saiful gave some great pointers on how not to be just a professional photographer but also an entrepreneurial photographer. You'll be amazed how Saiful Nang started his journey with just RM 90 and he built his company which now has over 40 staff under Candid Syndrome.

i wasn't able to be a participant in the workshop and there were around 60 who attended the Asah Mata Workshop. The participants were split into groups and they were given special assignment for the photography outing at specific areas. Saiful Nang then will do some assessment on the shots taken by the participants (critic session) and all the participants will be given a certificate which will be presented by Sheikh Jamaluddin.

It's great to see Saiful Nang again in Brunei and his classes will raise some good awareness and also give good pointers for our potential semi-pro and professional photographers. I believe most of them have potential but don't forget to create your branding :)

Looking for 2nd hand cars? I remember how Tamu Trader was known for its 2nd hand car business. Now we have a new uprising 2nd hand car portal Bruneiusedcar.com which has been getting great responses from the public since it was launched last year.

What stands out from the rest is their service to the customer. They will be able to handle the process of the transfer especially those who are continuing with the bank. For those who are interested to sell their cars, you can post your car at the said website with a charge fee of BND 15 per unit.

They also do accept trade-in with the cars they find on Bruneiusedcar.com. So there are some options for you to choose from actually. For any inquiries, you can email admin@bruneiusedcar.com or enquiry@bruneiusedcar.com.
