First thing first. This is supposed to be P&C, but if you were born in Brunei, lived (or is living) in Brunei and interacts (-ed) with Bruneians, you will know NOTHING in Brunei stays confidential for long. Rumours spreads around faster than wild fires. If I have to say something about this, I am truly thankful for the scary network that is the Bruneian grapevine, because without it I will only find out about this two weeks plus after the so-called upgrade.
OH EM GEE. I know right. Being an overseas Bruneian can have its cons, e.g. forced to be in a LDR because your significant other just can't be bothered to drag you from the airport before boarding calls, you see.
While an upgrade is all very well and the teaser seem quite plausible (Brunei does desperately need more tourist attractions, like seriously, because even us Bruneians are bored sometimes and need a place to go that is NOT Miri/Limbang/Kuching/Kota Kinabalu - point is not outside the international boundary), it just makes me wonder what the Tourism Board has done this time. Of course the Brunei Tourism website looks quite impressive, but that's shouldn't be the only effort they put in, right?
On another note, Eqah is releasing a new song soon!! Here's the teaser preview from her official YouTube channel:
I don't wanna sound like a bitch, but isn't she wearing pink lipstick on her last digital single cover? Maybe she changed her mind. ANYWAY...
I love If It Isn't With You, mainly because I support Bruneian artists like that. More so because she was in P2F (I definitely have a weakness for P2F contestants with beautiful names. Just ask my friend Pengiran). I even buy it off iTunes for once instead of my usual rip-from-YouTube-video which I have gotten quite skilled at because if you are a poor student who listens to K-Pop or J-rock, it's one thing you must be able to do. Or if you can't, just get someone who can to Bluetooth it over to you. I mean, that's what Bluetooth is for, right?
I forced my non-Asian friend to give If It Isn't With You a listen and she fell in love with it. She was surprised when I told her it's sung by a Bruneian, which made her a racist, just kidding. I mean, BRUNEIANS CAN SING TOO OKAY?
It's coming soon but no date was mentioned. I think she's trying to avoid the "Janji Melayu" trap. Kudos.
