We had booked one of the private dining rooms at Xcapade, G-Town, for 5 people at 1 p.m. Since I got off work 'early' we went straight to G-Town, parked our car and went to the DVD shop across Xcapade. We both love 'House' and we have finished watching both season one and two and to our surprise the shop was already selling Season 3 of House from Episode 1-8.
The lunch went well and we had so many things to discuss and talk about that we did failed to realise that Xcapade was closing. We were the last customers to leave. Mr Bruneian made a lasting impression on us and he did not sell himself short. A truly honest and dedicated person and loves taking beautiful pictures. The whole purpose of the lunch was Mrs Vixennova wanted to introduce Mr Bruneian to us, My Fiance actually, as she is seeking a photographer for our wedding.
Mr Bruneian - Bro, If you ever happen to read this, My Fiance will give you a call soon and please book her tentatively for the first week of June. We would like to extend our sincerest appreciation for spending sometime to meet us on a Saturday and share so much with us. We are both grateful.

Mrs Vixennova mentioned the lunch in her post yesterday. As I read on her blog - came across her Manners and Ettiquette post. She did a post on Blogging Etiquette and Ms Blackdiamonds did a post on (1) Meeting (2) Party (3) Workplace Etiquette.
I would like to add to this by adding the Cinema Etiquette
Some cinema go-ers can be so inconsiderate that their ignorance is a nuisance to other movie go-ers.
- No matter how many times you see the advert before the movie starts, some ignorant person would still not bother switching off their mobilephone/s or switch the mode to 'Silent'. Do not switch it to 'vibrate' as perhaps the person sitting next to you may get annoyed by this, assuming he/she does not know you.
- If you are expecting an 'IMPORTANT' phone call, do not at anytime go and watch a movie at the cinema. Because if you do, you will answer your phone in the middle of the movie. You will cause unwanted attention by others who wish to enjoy the movie. P.S: It does not matter how low/soft you whisper, you picking up the phone is already annoying.
- If you are expecting an 'IMPORTANT' sms/text msg from someone, #2 applies. You may not be talking but the light from your phone is distracting and people pay good money to watch a movie, not be annoyed by ignorant imbeciles.
- If you have watched the movie and you watch it again with a different partner/crowd of friends, it is not so 'COOL' to talk about the movie as it plays. They will not be impressed by this gesture as you are spoiling the movie for him/her/them. Not only that, you are also spoiling it for the people sitting around you. Again, no matter how soft you talk/whisper people can still hear what you are saying. They might as well give you the money and you tell them the story.
- A civic reminder! Do you realise how sometimes when you catch the 7-ish, 9-ish or midnight movie at the cinema, the place seems a 'little' dirty. The people who watched a movie before you think the cinema hired cleaners to clean the place up. Well here is something you should know, THEY DON'T!!! So stop being a litter bug and throw away your own rubbish. The pop-corn crumbs, I suppose could be forgiven but not your pop-corn cup, food/chocolate wrapper or burger wrapper!! Trust me, it does not kill to throw away your own litter.

Man Utd Brunei Fan Club did a successful gathering last night at Mamih, Beribi. Pictures can be viewed at http://manutdbrunei.com
Next gathering will be on 21st January 2007 - Feature match - Arsenal Vs Man Utd, Emirates Stadium. Place is still undecided, but leaning towards a 'Nasi Kandar' restaurant behind the Bunut Filling Station as proposed by the Webmaster.
I did not make it to the gathering last night as I had a 'poker' game with my Fiance's family, don't get me wrong, we used 'funny' money. Hahahaha. I hope I can make it to the next gathering.

Today I enrolled to the JPMC gym. An offer one could not refuse, you pay B$100 and become a member for 3 months. My younger bro told me about the offer so I joined with him and his friends. I started today and I did some cardio and lots of running. I worked on my Chest and biceps, chilled in the Jacuzzi and Sauna and I think I had a good workout session.
Next session: Tomorrow after work.
