Woke up around 4am so I went back to sleep and woke up close to 8am. Got up showered and wore the same trousers and shirt as yesterday. The maid hadn't washed my clothes yet so maybe they were too dirty for her. Nikie thought we were late and wanted to get my hair cut so we went to an Indian barber who cuts hair for 3 Brunei dollars, pretty cheap. After that he tried to pick up his business cards but the place was shut so we went to pick up the other guys from their hotel and drove to the ICC. Our parking space was a bit further and so we walked through the centre to get to the stall and it was still quite quiet but we did have a show starting on stage in about 30 minutes. I folded brochures to give out and Nikie numbered them so that we would do a prize draw. At first we didn't have chairs do the start was delayed, then I went around trying to get people to watch the show and giving the brochure to the people watching. I don't think they used the numbers to award prizes but they did give a few people a makeover afterwards. We got breakfast, (may have been before), I had nasi lemak as the noodles weren't made yet. The place got busier and I folded more brochures and did the same again for the second show around 12.30. For lunch I did get some fried mee goreng (noodles) and a bit after we left taking one of the make up artists to the airport and got there at 3.30 for his 4.30 flight. Then we went to a hotel called Empire which was casino sized and had an enormous swimming pool. Nikie wanted photos of me modelling his shirt so we did that before going back and I changed into more regular clothes and used the WiFi to decide if I did want to go to Mulu as the flights were not that expensive, then we went back to the conference centre to pack up the stand and somehow squeeze everything into his car and drive back to the guys hotel where they did a stock count and Nikie was left with the remaining stock which he would pay for. He was a bit nervous as it was a big step since he'd just started and this was his first venture into selling this makeup. We talked about business in general a bit, me with my financial view and he bought chicken dinner at a place.
We went back and it was after 10.30 and the maid had done an amazing job with my washing even bleached the dirt out of my filty socks. We had to leave at 6am the next day so he went to bed and I checked up on the football but went to sleep at half time around 11.
