Viwawa barred us?

Most of us joined viwawa primarily to play wahjong with friends in our own home just to pass time and talk shit all chat while at the game or with unknown players* around the world.

*well most of those i played with are normally residing in the Lioncity or KL.

It was fun, creating our free wawa, practicing our mahjong wahjong skill, win and go up to the next level. hip hip hurray!

well, suddenly for the past few weeks, it went MIA? Viwawa is still there. The forum is updated daily with users commenting and all. But the log-in to wahjong itself is missing. I thought to myself then, maybe viwawa is upgrading or doing maintenance or something, you know like WOW they do their maintenance once a week for gamers.

However, wahjong had been missing for weeks, till our Jwong forgot her login.

so i decided to email the viwawa's support team for more info, as it's getting kinda strange. No one in other country complained in the forum but players in Brunei cannot gain access to wahjong or Big 2. hmm... I told J'z, maybe just us? I even asked him to try to log-in while he was in spore but he did not bring his lappie when he was there.

Q: Princess Wong & Prince Yuen, can you guys still play wahjong?

today i got a reply from viwawa's support team

Hi,

Right now, Viwawa has partnered with a Brunei company to roll out more Viwawa games to Brunei players. In order to avoid conflict of games and business environment, we have to take the decision to remove certain games from Viwawa.

This ruling will only affect players within Brunei. Over the next few months, you will be seeing more fun and engaging Viwawa games which will not be of a conflicting nature.


I cant help but wonder, Is that a nice way of saying, you guys in Brunei are banned from playing wahjong cos it's some form of gambling. huh? Who on our end contacted them? WE ARE NOT PLAYING WITH MONEY for God's sake. So my initial thoughts were right! Someone on our end did something or approached them. It's free, harmless fun. No drugs. No money involved. No guns. No shark loans. why why?

Or maybe, they are really working with someone here? I dunno how? Who i wonder? But what games will they come out with? Snakes & Ladders? Congkak? Gasing? Rubber seeds?

I replied them asking why didn't they post it on their site about them or email us regarding their decision to remove certain games from Viwawa for players in Brunei.

Still awaiting their reply on this.

till then.
Disappointed

SATC on Oprah...

countdown to the premiere of Sex and the City: the movie begins.

well, in US of A, it will be 30th May but those lucky bitches in UK is 12th May. I still think it should be in NY not London. It's the city! come'on where SATC begins. oh well! i doubt it will even be shown in our local cinema due to censorship and all. SO damn unfair i say. why why why?
seriously? the irony is you can buy the pirated DVD or tv box-set in all DVD shops in town. well, that's censorship for us over here. I dunno...really. U ban them in the big screen yet you can get a copy of it somewhere. oh well...

I myself have barred all trailers & show clips from the upcoming movie till now: quickly closed my eyes or flipped the channel on tv or skipped all press coverage. So far so good in doing that, of course i saw the 'wedding scene'. how can u not, it's everyone in the news. argh! (pic)

well, we do not know the ending or story and from what i read or heard from the gals' interview with Oprah, the movie will not disappoint anyone. That's good to hear.

yes! i watched the interview last night and now i can't seem to find it in youtube anymore to link it here. strange. hmm...too bad for you guys muahaha!

cos it's good to see the whole cast back- how our Samantha/Kim is currently dating a younger man/boy in real life, or Miranda/Cynthia found real love via a lesbo. ooo...clip 5: Pat Field giving us a glimpse of the costume section ie. shoes, bags and clothes. Ladies, you will die. Amazing!!! (pic)

So cannot wait to get hold of the pirated DVD, so can watch it in my own home or make it an event to watch it as SATC nite. yeah man!

wordplay...

spotted this over the weekend in ICC.

not sure if anyone saw the typo. It's located at the entrance to one of the forum.

if not...look closer
hmm...it's 'endorsed' or 'suported' by various of ministries and even UBD ie. university of Brunei as well. opps!

disclaimer: i know bidarlah contains loads of typos & grammar errors as well, so dun come saying like i'm mr smartarse ok!

xoxo, just being observant.
