ICUBS – Brunei Night 2010

Message from the ICUBS Society:

Imperial College Union Bruneian Society in collaboration with Brunei Student Union presents:

BRUNEI NIGHT 2010 – “KASIH IBU” (MOTHER’S LOVE)

Like any aspiring teenager, Daniel often dreams of studying abroad, and hopes to someday help his widowed mother run the family business. This became a reality when he received a letter from his dream college, granting him a spot in the prestigious Imperial College. The excited Daniel then sets off for the UK. Little did he know of the trials and tribulations that awaited him in the big world; a world of lies, deception, seduction, and ultimately, betrayal. Will he persevere and stand by his beliefs? Or will his faith and his goals waver? Will his will be so strong as to overcome every obstacle thrusted upon him?
