Yeah i know... FINALLY! A NEW POST! Sorry people, just been simply busy and I don't wanna give any excuses. Let's just finish this BRIDEX thingie. Now you might think the last post was Day 1, and why is it Day 4 now? It was because me and my colleagues take turn to look after the booth, and I was there for Day 1 and Day 4.

Day 4 was the last day of the exhibition. The last day was really free and there wasn't really much people and visitor. It was open to public and I met quite a number of my friends there. Since I was really free, I decided to walk around and make full use of my camera. =)

Small-sized military tank.

This must be... an APV? Correct me if I'm wrong =)

and it is manufactured by Renault.

Big creamy military truck with dozens and dozens of wheel nuts

This must be some military medic vehicle.

Future soldier: "Piu! Piu!"

OK no more big macho tanks. Now to the scale models.

I wonder how much damage this thing can do...

Looks deadly.

I wonder what is so special about the bullet standing in the middle.

Different types of facial and cosmetic products. Oops, I mean ammo and grenades.

This is what happen when your camera doesn't have wide angle =(

I assume these are pickup robots or robots that are use to diffuse bombs.

Scale model 1

Scale model 2

This is the interior of the dome shaped building. Looks kinda cool so I captured it.

Mr Soldier: "Hey Yo! What's up? Let's hit the dancefloor!"

The first day of the event is the launching of the event so all the company's staff must present. His Majesty the Sultan and Yang Di-Pertuan of Brunei Darussalam, His Royal Highness Prince Haji Al-Mutadee Billah and also the King of Jordan will be there for the launching so everybody who took part in the event were expected to be there with appropriate attire.

We have to wake up by 5.30 am and then be there by 7.00 am as there will be traffic jam and no parking. Below are some photos I snapped from the morning until the afternoon.

Welcome to BRIDEX 2009!

Where our company's booth is. All the i-Centre company are under the Brunei Pavilion booth.

One of the India company that was just beside our booth. The place is really that empty in the early morning. But...

...about an hour later, everybody was following and gathering around The Royal Family and the King of Jordan.

His Majesty, the King of Jordan and the Crown Prince arriving at our booth while the founder of our company, Nicky Wong, gave a brief presentation about what the company is doing.

This thing is REAL! But no ammo loaded or course. =)

Different types of ammo and bullets.

I actually volunteered to be Liaison Officers for the BRIDEX 2009. But due to some clashes with my work attachment and also some inconvenient issues, I decided to withdraw from it. But still, that doesn't stop me from taking part in BRIDEX 2009. I am having my work attachment under Infindo Technology, i-Centre. Since my company is taking part in BRIDEX 2009, so I am participating as well.

Below are the pre-exhibition photos for the BRIDEX 2009. Just some preparation, setting up the booth and get things ready for the big day.

FYI: The Brunei International Defence Exhibition (BRIDEX) is the premier defence & security event in South East Asia. It brings together the world's leading manufacturers and suppliers of defence & security equipment and systems from across the entire supply chain, and high level international government and defence & security officials, providing them with a unique experience in business facilitation.

Great architecture.

One of the unique architecture you can find in Brunei.
