Tutong District
- Premises of the Tutong District Civic Centre

Belait District
- The Tudong Saji Market Place Kuala Belait

From the host country, Brunei;















And last but not least from the "Bolehland" - I mean, Malaysia;















I got some video captured using my mobile phone - HTC Wildfire, the video is in 3GP mode so the quality is not that great - plus I'm pretty sucks with this video thingy, so don't complain....













We will go to the actual event on June 1, 2010 and will upload some photos or maybe videos from the event later...

Eventually I have to borrow the powerful long zoom camera of Canon SX30IS from my good friend Billy Wong specifically for this event....

Stay tuned to Shewsbury Land...
