It was followed shortly by a speech delivered by the President of BruBrad Society, Dyg. Marha Hanafiah where she thanked the members who organised and attended the event.

02/03/2011 - The university's International Office held a small gathering with the Brunei students studying in the institution. The event was held in Richmond Building where the students get the opportunity to talk with the international officers and each other.

Teresa Stead, one of the International Officers who are the university's favourite representative to Brunei Darussalam, had the chance to know new students from Brunei and those who are currently in their final years.

The event gave the university's Vice-Chancellor, Mark Cleary, to relieve his memory of Brunei since he used to be a lecturer in the University of Brunei Darussalam.

The function ended by the VC giving a small yet stern speech regarding the students' studies in the university. He urged the students to work hard in their exams and assignments especially the final year students.

This story has been published in Brunei's local newspapers especially the Borneo Bulletin and here is the link: BRUBRAD!

Digital Scrapbook - A Bruneian student in the UK

2011-02-19T14:18:00.000-08:00

Share your experience of education in the UK with the British High Commission and you could win an iPhone, iPad or other valuable prizes. The High Commission hopes to entice Bruneian students currently in the UK, or any Bruneian who has studied there, to take part in a competition called ‘The Digital Scrap Book – A Bruneian student in the UK’.

Participants are required to produce a short video (up to three minutes) on their experience of British education, and upload it to the British High Commission’s YouTube Channel. They may interpret the theme in whatever way they wish. Possible approaches include: diary format (“A Day in the Life of a Bruneian student at …” University X); coverage of activities organised by a Bruneian Students Association (outing, sporting event, birthday party or religious festival); interviews with fellow students about campus life, or with members of the university’s International Office.

The idea is to build a collage of moving pictures which portray the experiences of Bruneian students in the UK; and to help the High Commission advise schools, colleges and universities on how to serve their Bruneian customers. So, while the High Commission reserves the right not to select material which is coarse or inappropriate, entrants should not hesitate to include examples of things which could be done better.

Read more on the terms and conditions of the competition.

Salam and hello societies!

Hope this email finds everyone well, and that activities and events running in your own university and society are going well. Please find below a forwarded message for all affiliated societies:

Salam,

With the increasing number of Bruneians Students' Societies in the UK, the Brunei Students' Union (BSUnion) decided to organise a Bruneian Societies' Dialog where representatives from each society will be able to interact and engage in exchange of ideas with one another. The details for the Dialog are as follows:

Date: 4th December 2010 (Saturday)
Time: 11am - 3pm
Venue: Brunei Hall, 35-43 Norfolk Square, Paddington W2 1RX

The official aims of the Dialog are as follows:
1. To promote the exchange of ideas and experiences between all Bruneian societies in order to bridge inter-society gaps with respect to size and activities.
2. To encourage activities that are beneficial not only specific to Bruneian students, but also to Brunei as a country.
3. To help societies achieve recognition with regards to their roles and responsibilities as a Bruneian society in the United Kingdom.

With this, it is my pleasure to invite two representatives from your society to attend this Dialog, and we highly encourage you to deliver a short presentation (max ten minutes) followed by questions and answers on:

1. Your vision and objectives
2. 2010-11 Action Plan
3. Expectations from your activities
4. Future Events

Officers from Unit Penuntut-Penuntut will also be attending and delivering a number of speeches with regards to their expectations from the societies and the assistance that they are willing to provide to the societies. On the other hand, BSUnion will also be presenting our action plan for 2011 and clarifications of the benefits of affiliation with the Union.

This Dialog will be a fantastic opportunity for all societies to share your experiences with each other, and you will also be able to ask questions from UPP officers, BSUnion menbers and even members of other societies.

I understand that this is rather a late notice, but your support for and attendance at this event will be very much appreciated, and I look forward to seeing your society's representatives at the Dialog.

Kindly please reply to Sarah Ghazali at welfare.secretary@bsunion.org by Thursday 2nd December whether or not you will be sending representatives to attend the event.

BruBrad Member Making Brunei Proud

2010-05-23T07:25:00.000-07:00

Deenina Salleh with her two projects; 'Breathe' and 'Paper Blooms'.

13th May 2010 - Deenina Salleh, a member of the Brunei Bradford Students' Society and a final year student in the BA Digital Media course, displayed two art projects held by Bradford University's School of Computing, Informatics and Media along with other final year students of the same course.

The exhibition was held at Chesham's Gallery II for sixteen days as the room was filled with students trying to express their thoughts on life and relationships in the form of photography and digital art.

Deenina used her projects especially 'Paper Blooms' to show the power of social networks in helping loved ones stay connected even though they are miles away separated by lands and seas. She advertised 'Paper Blooms' in Facebook and blogspot which resulted in volunteers creating and sending in paper flowers of different and creative designs from UK and Brunei. BruBrad also took part in the project by attending two events hosted by her in the university.

Her second project called 'Breathe' acts as a metaphor for "the grieving of a person trying to hold onto someone or something to a certain period of time, in which time itself cannot be preserved." Deenina used ice to represent time and the flower and leaves to represent nature. The latter was preserved in the ice and slowly, as the ice melts, nature also dies along with it.

Her success and creativity were published in Borneo Bulletin on the 19th May 2010:

BruBrad Intersociety Mini Football Tournament

2010-03-19T14:21:00.000-07:00

13/03/2010 – The howling Yorkshire wind failed to puff away the roaring screams of support and encouragement at the Goals Soccer Center in Bradford. The only day where the quiet sport center is filled with life and adrenalin for victory and an important period in time where the feeling of patriotism was boiling with enjoyment.

The Brunei Bradford Students Society hosted their first ever football tournament involving other Brunei societies in the United Kingdom with the aim to expand the status of this newly established community and strengthen the awareness for Brunei’s national pride and identity among the students.

Six teams were invited for the friendly football competition and as the teams stood proud singing Brunei’s national anthem in the middle of the field and reading the doa’; BruLiv (Brunei Liverpool), BNS (Brunei Newcastle), BruLeeds (Brunei Leeds), BruBrad Bravo, Hanna FC and BruBrad Alpha including the supporters and volunteers, they could feel the rising appreciation for their home country, Brunei Darussalam.

Mohammad Erman bin Haji Jais, one of the event organizer, held a short briefing for the teams on the rules of the game before starting off the match.

With the event’s motto “Victory Awaits” on the banner fighting against the touch wind, the teams were working hard on the fields for the glory, the blaring motivation from the supporters and the volunteers running here and there to provide a better service for the guests.

The medics were rushed to attend players who were injured during the matches and in the end; one team valued the pain and bloody scratches from the game.

BruBrad Alpha was the champion in the competition and BruBrad’s president, Zaini bin Junidi, proudly presented them with the trophy and medals. Other prize presenters were Aziz bin Aziyan, the society’s Sports Officer, and Pengiran Israwadi bin Pengiran Yusof, gave out the awards for BruLeeds who earned the second place and BNS who gained the third place.

The memorable event ended by reading out the doa’ and the gratification for making the tournament a great success.

Brunei may have already celebrated the national day on the 23rd February 2010 but due to studies and classes on that date, the students had to postpone the gathering to Saturday.

The President of BruBrad's house was the venue for the patriotic event and students were encouraged to wear casual attire that reflects the Brunei flag which consists of yellow, white, red and black.

Food brought by the students.

The event began by reading a prayer for Brunei's well-being and success before savouring food brought and cooked by the students.

Doa for Brunei's safety and prosperity.

The Brunei Bradford Students' Society is grateful for what the country has given us which is the golden opportunity to expand their knowledge and self-confidence in a foreign country. In return, the students will provide Brunei with the skills acquire from their studies to improve Brunei's state of education, economy and social comfort.

17/02/2010 - A special visit from the Brunei High Commissioner to the University of Bradford. The main aim of the visit was to see the well-beings of Brunei's mature students and their families in Bradford.

Hj Amir bin Pehin Orang Kaya Perkerma Setia Dato Paduka Haji Abdul Rahman, of the Commissioner's Third Secretary and Ismail bin Adenan, of the Welfare Officer, arrived at the afternoon and went straight for an academic discussion with the university's Dean of Engineering regarding improving the state of Brunei's educational institution especially for ITB.

After the healthy exchange of views, the two representatives were whisked off to meet Mark Cleary, the Vice-Chancellor of Bradford's University and then had a special group photoshoot with the VC and the students in the Atrium.

Majlis Ramah Mesra Bersama Yang Mulia Timbalan Menteri Pendidikan dengan Pelajar-Pelajar di United Kingdom dan Ireland.

2010-01-16T09:20:00.000-08:00

Group Photo with the Minister and Representative from MOE

The Brunei Hall's staff with MOE's representatives.

16th January 2010 - Brunei students around UK and Ireland braved the cold weather, hectic classes and exams coming to London just to have a once in a lifetime chance to meet the Vice-Minister of Education; YM Pengiran Dato Seri Setia Dr Haji Mohammad bin Pengiran Haji Abdul Rahman dan Datin.

The event was held in Brunei Hall's lobby packed with teachers, staff, students and residence of the place. Around 10-10.20am, students started to fill the area and waited for the Vice-Minister to come.

When he came and gave a speech emphasizing the students not to lose their dignity, M.I.B. and religion. The latter is highly applicable for Muslim students not to believe in other religious influences as quoted by the Vice-Minister, "Islam adalah yang terbaik." He praised students for maintaining these important elements in their independent lives. In addition, Yang Berhormat also wants the students to "berbakti pada negara" and "jangan jadi kacang lupakan kulit."

After the motivating speech from Yang Berhormat, the event went for the 'Question and Answer' session between the students and representatives from the Ministry of Education. Cikgu Aziz was also there to answer any queries about careers, further studies and allowance. The representatives were hoping that students would be teachers to develop Brunei and encourage them to continue them to continue for their Masters and PHD. We are young and we must not waste our time.

With Cikgu Aziz Nayan, the head scholarship department.

At 11.20am, the informative session ended by the representatives mingling with the students before heading for lunch. After having the nice and lovely lunch of rice, fish, ayam masak kicap, mixed vegetables with tofu and honeydew, they get together for a group photos.

Overall, the event was worth the students' time because it gave them motivation to study and pursue for Master and PHD. Thus, Bradford students, we must answer for our country's development and be the next generation to make Brunei a modern yet cultural place.

The Vice-Minister and Datin.

Majlis Khatam Al-Quran Easter 2010‏

2009-12-15T07:30:00.000-08:00

Hello all.
Just send us an email if you are interested in attending (name & contact number please). It is highly appreciated that a lot of us came and mengeratkan silaturrahim. XD

And this is an email from the BruLeeds Assistant Religious Officer:

Assalamualaikum,

Firstly to introduce myself, I'm Hjh Norajimah, BruLeeds Assistant Religious Officer. I'm writing this to invite your society to our Majlis Khatam Al-Quran here in Leeds, which will be held some time in March or April, that is during Easter break insyaAllah.

This ceremony is held under BSU London's approval and Ustaz Hj Raminey will come over to Leeds to lead the event. The same Khatam ceremony will be held as well in London during Easter but Ustaz has given us some flexibility and the opportunity to have our own Khatam ceremony in Leeds so that we don't have to travel to London.

So to enliven this ceremony more, I would like to invite your society to join and participate the mentioned event. The proposed date is still under discussion but we will inform you as soon as we have confirmed everything. Hence, those who want to join the event will have to make their own recitations and complete it before the ceremony. So, if anyone is interested, please provide us with their names, contact numbers and their e-mail addresses, and how many people will be joining from your society. It would be helpful if you ask everyone to confirm as soon as they can, and if possible, please do get back to me before the end of December. If there are any enquiries, please don't hesitate to contact us.

Thank You.

Salam.

As you all know, I'm currently in my final year doing BA in Digital Media. As a final year project, I need voluntary contributions of paper flowers from people. As an end product, those flowers would be included in the major artwork. For more information, have a look at the website:

To start off this great project, I will be hosting it during the next meeting (Thursday, 3rd December 2009). So I do hope you all would come and help me out. It'd be a fun activity for all =D

p/s: if you got scissors and glue, do bring it. I'll bring the papers! =D thanks yaaaa~ I'm hoping that this project would be a success! Do spread the word to everyone. Even in Brunei! The more i receive it, the more awesome the project is going to be!

Hello BruBradites,

Exams are over and most of us (if not all) must be back home in Brunei already. For those that are, we're planning a summer picnic get-together, which would act as an informal farewell for the graduating seniors as well as an induction session for the incoming juniors.

The picnic has been decided to be held on 8th August 2009, 10 am onwards at Pantai Seri Kenangan, Tutong.

We will be expecting our special guests (Graduating Seniors) so please be there!

Zaki
Mahyuddin
Ka Dinah
Ka Hani
Hazirah

P.S Sorry for the spelling error, if any please forgive me and inform me asap =)

It would be nice for everyone to bring food to share, but some food will be sponsored by the officers of BBSS. So if there isn't enough, you know why! Our treasurer Qawi will appreciate it if anyone wishes to chip in some $$$ for the event (but we will reject contributions from graduating seniors =p).

Those who will be attending, please RSVP with your lovely IT officer Nuruddin (element210@gmail.com)

Picnic

2009-04-21T15:06:00.001-07:00

Hello everyone~

It is unfortunate that the Lister Park picnic was cancelled due to lack of replies but this time, we're not proposing for another picnic, instead, we will definitely be having a picnic at Horton Park. The time will be at 14:00 (2pm) til the sun go down (if we can last that long) on Saturday, 25th of April 2009. Please bring food, drinks or even outdoor games (and maybe chairs). This may be the last time we will get together since after that everyone will have exams and then "balik kampong" (and it actually applies this time!). Let's all have a good time for a day to clear our mind before we begin with our exams!

Regards,
Mohamad Effendy
President of Brunei Bradford Students' Society

p.s. If we're lucky, we might have our hoodies and polo shirt by then.
