Rubrik's Revenge
The reason why i brought up this topic was because the trend are coming back amongst school children, they brought the puzzle everywhere they go, and i as a teacher are on alert right now monitoring whether they are paying attention during my teaching, or else i will have to confiscate it. I would not mind though if the play it during free time at school. i would like to have my hand on those puzzle toy, and i want to solve it for good this time.
My student Nursaidah, Mikki and Dayangku tried to solve the cube, but none of them were capable of solving it including me. Playing with the Rubrik puzzle is not a waste of time, it's more like a mind bogling, mind tinggling, mind teasing which stimulates your brain.

Eid Mubarak
The main purpose of Eid Mubarak is to celebrate the victory among Muslims who were able to face the challenge of fasting for one month, despite other things like avoiding to commit sinful acts. Muslims especially among Malays take Eid Mubarak as a chance to forgive and have forgiveness from family and friends. In Brunei Eid Mubarak will not be complete without varieties of Malay cuisine such as lemang, rendang, ketupat and many other flavorsome foods.
I managed to take some pictures from one of the event that happened in my village. The people in my village organize a ‘Takbir Raya’ activity. Takbir means praising Allah by saying Allah-hu-akbar Allah-hu-akbar Allah-hu-akbar. The activity which started from the Head of village to other houses who invites to recite the ‘Takbir’ in their house, but with one condition, the house representative must join all the ‘Takbir Raya’ activity till the end and the activity could take at least three hours depending on how many houses that are going to be visited.
