FIRST BPY08 WEDDING: Yassin & Yuli

Ok I’m sure you’ve heard from Facebook, but here it is again:

It’s Yassin’s wedding and all PYs from 35th SSEAYP are invited!!!

Yes he is finally tying the knot!

Yassin in Pink! :P

Yassin’s Wedding Ceremony

Time: 11am-2pm
Day: Sunday
Date: 17th January, 2010
Attire: B

Now, since we’ve heard that quite a few fellow PYs are coming, BPY08 will help you all with accommodation and transport while you are in Brunei. Of course you may contact your SG mates or closest BPY friend, and bunk in but if you’re a bit lost, we’ve identified the most affordable yet comfortable hotel called Jeruton Hotel, located only about 15-20 minutes away from the venue of Yassin’s wedding.

The hotel offers the following choices:

• Executive Suite – B$78
• Junior Suite – B$58
• Deluxe or Standard Room – B$38

Yassin has also arranged for your transport from the hotel to both wedding venues (groom’s and bride’s) so no worries on getting there. HURRY! Because since this is a particularly cheap hotel, a lot of Bruneians flock down there for weekend getaways so it’s frequently full.

So finally, regardless what your decision, we are happy to see you in Brunei. So that we can easily cater to your needs during your stay in Brunei, please fill out the form below okay!

We look forward to Yassin’s big day in January and having you all here! :)

P/S: I know I know it’s a bit overkill to have this form hahaha. But it’s just so that someone is there to pick you up and send you off at the airport and you have a nice place to stay during your visit. We’d really hate to see you stranded! Hehehe.

BPY Celebrates Ka Yati’s and December Babies Birthdays

This was actually from a while back already (7th December, 2009) but in all the hustle and bustle of the Fuji Maru, never had time to post this. Erah and Ka Yati has the same birthday dates and a lot of the BPYs had their birthdays in December: Erah, Marco, Twins, Tne. So the BPYs organised a little get together that sadly only some could attend (which was quite sad). :( I wish you all could come cause we got you all a cake. Photos by Michelle/Michael.

(Lisa sleepy :P)

One in a group and the one below with only the girls!

Did you guys remember, we took the exact same photo last year in the Dining Room of our beloved Nippon Maru?

:) Only missing Brother. Time flies so fast! Happy birthday Ka Yati. LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVVVVVVVVVVEEEE you!

And happy birthday to all December BPY08s! :)

Fuji Maru in Town: BPY Go Reunion On Board!

After lusting and drooling after countless albums from our fellow PYs in other countries, Fuji Maru came to Brunei for the first time ever, finally! A lot of the BPY08 came to the ROB Fuji Maru. It was a full house indeed! The ROB as you can see was themed Arabian Nights. Pretty cliched but hey we had loads of fun! :D

Michelle was the night’s MC! :D

Obligatory jumping photo in front of Fuji Maru

BPY08 go to Majlis Ibadah Korban

I think we should have a reunion soon, with ALL of the BPY08 members cause I realise that I don’t have many photos of us anymore! Anyway, these are some photos from the recent Bersatu soiree at the SSEAYP Cafe. For your information SSEAYP Cafe is formerly D’Other Office, with new management.

:D

Muzakarah (Have your say) with JBS

Today at 8.30am, we (BPYs and volunteers) gathered at Pusat Belia for a discussion. JBS was interested to hear the opinions and ideas of the youth in promoting Pusat Belia as a youth community centre. Recent renovation work and upgrades of equipment (computer rooms, renovated pool, conference and meeting rooms, kitchens, accommodation, etc) have been carried out to provide better facilities not only to hostel dwellers, but also to youth groups, clubs and schools to run their activities, all in the name of youth development.

We were put in groups of about ten people, a mixture of BPYs of different batches as well as volunteers, to brainstorm ideas for the said objective. By the end of the discussion, representatives from each group came forth to present a summary of their discussion.
