Continuing the upward momentum from the previous post, here are images from my recent working trip into the rainforest of Brunei Darussalam, a journey that had me drive from my home in Seria to taking a long boat to Ulu Temburong. So where do I even begin to describe what it’s like in the remote Ulu Ulu Resort accessible only [...]

One storm and broadband service got disrupted for 4 days! Having spent a decade in IT with engineers deployed into data centres to fix problems like this, I’m sympathetic when problems like this occur. The outage did not infuriate me so much as the service provider’s failure to inform its subscribers that we could fall back on the trusty 56k [...]

The English idiomatic expression “Square peg in a round hole” is often used to describe someone in a situation, organization where they don’t fit in and feel out of place.” With ongoing efforts to promote Brunei Darussalam as a unique tourist and investment destination, a new name in town Pelangi De’Mutiara Tourist Square surprises us with their “ONE [...]
