The Eve of An Adam

CRAZY!!

2009-09-14T19:56:00.002+08:00

Crazy crazy crazy...

My blog is so so so so outdated...
Sorry peeps, I have been so occupied with life. I think people get bored coming into my blog since there's no update. And I don't think people will realize if I update my blog.... Haha

Anyways, I am working now. Yes, I rejected degree (which many disagreed to my decision), and I accepted the job offer in DST Com Sdn Bhd. I am now the Executive Assistant in RF Network Unit. My job mainly consists of daily monitoring of the 2G system (3G - not really my task). I am still confused, though, with my task. I am not experienced as the others who have worked more than 10 years, so I can't quite catch up. I'm trying my best, though. Sometimes, the stress is too much and I feel like giving up and cry, but I know me - I can't give up, I don't surrender to myself, but sometimes it's just so hard. I guess that's what working life is all about. Coping up with all the difficulties and overpowering them.

I have some other job offers right now, and I don't know what to do about them....

Anyways, I would like to wish all my Muslim friends Happy Fasting, although it's past 2 weeks of fasting. I had some sungkai out with some friends. Of course, the frequent ones were with Athari. Once, Wana and I planned our sungkai at Kaka Indah's house. It was great and we were so so full. Then Kaka Indah's family, Wana & Amzar and Athari & I went to Coffee Zone Kiulap to break the fast. Few days back, Emily, Josline, Dwan and I had sungkai in KB, at Bucaneer's Thai Restaurant. Dwan, Josline , Athari and I plan to go to Tarindak Polo this Friday to break the fast. Hehe..

Last Saturday, I went to Miri City with Athari, Asri, Azam, Chiemz and Fauzi. Our sungkai was at McDonald's. The guys had 2 burgers each. I had one. And we had extra side dish of pizza from Pizza Hut and cheesy wedges from KFC. We were bloated! And some of us bought cakes and ice creams afterwards. Hehe. Miri was fun. It was SALE season, but sadly I didn't bring much cash. Using the credit card was so tempting but NO!!! I ended up buying my expensive mascara (haha) and some magazines. I wanna go there again this weekend, maybe, if I'm not going to KK =)

Work wise - Ericsson treated the RF Unit, Basestation Unit and Switching Unit to sungkai at Tarindak Seni. It was great. I was so full. I had so much food. How can I resist so much variety??? haha.. This Wednesday, Alcatel-Lucent will be treating us to sungkai at Tarindak Seni again, but I think I'll skip this one. but the next day, PAR Corp will treat us at Charcoal! Yeay! I will not skip this =)

Gosh, I think I've gained so much weight, I feel so BIGGGGGGG..

Anyways, another good news of the year..

I will be going to Geneva, Switzerland this October...Yeayy!! Remember few months back, Radi and I sent in our essays in? Sadly, he didn't get chosen, and I am devastated with the decision. I will be going with a UBD student by the name of Donovan. Donovan and I will be representing Brunei in Geneva for the ITU Telecom World 2009 Youth Forum. Yes, we will bringing the country's name into international eyes. Sadly, we are not given any attention by the government. Not to complain though, but if you were to review back to His Majesty's titah last month (I think), this is really a disappointment. I really hope the relevant authorities will do something about this. We are wakil Brunei but we are not given any recognition at all!

Anyways, I will be leaving on the 1st October at 7 pm. I will be transiting in Singapore and Doha, Qatar. From Doha, I will fly to Geneva, reaching there on 2nd October. The forum will begin on the 4th, and ends on the 9th October. I am flying back on the 10th, and will reach Brunei on 11th Oct. So, approximately 11 days away from home.

I have made contact with majority of the youths that will be attending the forum, via Facebook. All of us are excited, but some are having difficulties with visa and those sort. Thankfully, Bruneians don't need visa to enter Switzerland. I am really looking forward to this trip and the event itself. I hope everything will go smoothly. We will be given allowances, and our tickets and accommodation are all paid for. We will be staying at ETAP Hotel Geneva, where it's on twin sharing basis. I don't mind that. Our lunches are all sponsored, but I am not sure about dinner. but, we will be having some events at night, so I think dinner is solved. I think we will be having a trip to visit CERN, and I am very excited for that.

Also, CONGRATULATIONS to Kaka Indah & her hubby & her boys for having a baby girl. I'll visit you soon okay =)

Last weekend, I had a long holiday so I went to KK with my mum to visit my grandma. And to take back lots of tropical fruits since it is the fruit season there. We brought back a bonnet full of durian and tarap. Haha... The smell still lingers in my car... Huhu..

I hope I can update my blog on a constant basis, but I can't promise that I can. So, I'll try my best to do what I can.

Till then, take care of yourselves!

And baby, I love you, as always, now and forever =)

God bless my family, friends, my baby and I.
Amen.

Hello. Gd evening.

I am in a dilemma. First and foremost, I would like to congratulate my ex-coursemates who managed to enter the degree course in UITB, namely:

Shatrina
Norzaniza
Noorhasyimah
Aziman
MK Azmi
Lim Wee Shen
Yani Istora (haha)

We are chosen. Yeay! OK, like I said - I am in a dilemma. I am not sure why, but the feeling of studying back is not exciting me like it did few months back. Lately, the thought of working has been keeping me alive. The thought of earning money has made me so hopeful. I have so much things to buy, that I want. I've even discussed with my mum about the type of car that I want to buy for my dad. I promised my parents that when I work, I will get him a car. And I think of all the shoes and bags and vacations that I can afford when I make my own living. But the images of all the materialistic wants seems to fade away. I haven't been called for any job confirmations. I don't want to put my hopes high in news that said I got some job positions, since I haven't been sent any offer letters. Anyways, I am a little happy that I got accepted into the program. My sister Maya and brother Nicky also got into the HND programs; Maya in Business Management and Nicky in Civil Engineering. Thank you Lord for your blessings.

There are plans for us to rent an apartment somewhere in Madewa with 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, perfect for the 3 little siblings. Our house in Mumong would then be so quiet during weekdays and bursting with activities during weekends when we go back. So, my plan now is to enter the degree programme; I am in the 1st degree programme batch, in Communication and Electrical Engineering. If during my study, I am given job offers, I will then have to think very carefully. Many people encouraged me to continue my studies, since it is a rare opportunity. I am just scared to further burden my parents.

Let's just go with the flow =) Congratulations to everyone who got accepted into UITB, UBD and UNISSA.

Next next.. Congratulations to Dk Siti Ariana, who will be graduating from Keele University on 9th July 2009. I think her course was International Relations & Law. She got good results, resulting in her getting to continue her Masters. Your brother and I are proud of you! Last Thursday, I followed Athari and his siblings to the airport to send off Athari's parents. They flew to UK to attend Ariana's convocation. Congrats Didih!

H1N1 is gripping the nation in panic! So far, only one death resulting from the virus was recorded. But cases of infection has numbered to be more than 100, which is serious. The virus is spreading fast. I have some friends who were quarantined. How dangerous it is for us to be mingling around now. It is advised that we use mask while in public, and practice hygiene at any time. To show our support, haha, Athari and I bought masks yesterday afternoon. And when I went back in the evening to get some more, they were finished!

Last month, I had a wonderful weekend in Batu Niah, Sarawak. I was on a church trip and my parents came along. I would like to suggest that we make one trip, a day trip preferably, and visit the caves of Batu Niah. I experience a feeling that I can't quite explain with words. you just have to be there to feel it.

Also, congratulations to Hjh Nana for delivering her second baby on 4th July 2009!

The world was shaken with the death of the King of Pop, Michael Jackson, on June 25th 2009. I still can't quite believe it. Well, I heard the funeral is set for tomorrow, correct me if I am wrong. Rest In Peace, Jacko.

Once again, congratulations to all the people who deserves congratulatory greetings!

Baby, teach me patience...

God bless my family, friends, my baby and I.
Amen.

AE-1P

2009-06-20T08:06:00.006+08:00

Good morning people..

I am in a much better mood today =)

Anyways....

I am excited! I found a rare finding (at least, for me) yesterday. I stumbled upon an old camera belonging to my uncle, and since it is long unused, and have been long stored in the cabinet, neglected and long-forgotten, my mum said I can have it.

It is not the digital type, but one that uses a film type of camera. Back to the un-digitalized era! Easily said, it's not a DSLR, just a SLR =D

Anyways, the camera I found is the.....

CANON AE-1 PROGRAM

I find it weird that it's called 'AE-1 Program'. Sounds like a title of a book, or a manual. Hehe. But, in short, it is called the 'AE-1P'.

I did some basic research on the camera, online.

Introduced in 1981, AE-1P is an excellent upgraded version of the original AE-1.
Considered as one of the two most elegant looking of the A-series bodies.

Yeah.. That's basic.. Haha..

I haven't got any film yet, and I have to replace the battery (not rechargeable!!!). I clean it yesterday, and I think it still looks quite new, actually. It's heavy though! A little bit heavier than my camera, but I think I'll get used to it.

Random...

I am going to Niah Caves next weekend! I hope to enjoy myself, and maybe take some nice shots, and be awed by nature's wonders!

I am also invited to the Manikar Beach Party, which falls next weekend too! It will be from 4.00 pm on 27th June up to 6.00 am on 28th June. I wish I could go, but my Niah trip is all paid up for already. I don't think refund is available. I have been to Manikar Resort, in Labuan. It is really a nice place to relax, and do water sports. Maybe next year. There is a line-up of DJs from various countries that will be there to spin their music. Unfortunately, I can't be there to enjoy the art delivered. Sad =(

Well, I shall not be down just because I can't attend a rare party.. Hehe..

I shall see my baby later. And I am excited!

Have a great weekend people!

God bless my family, friends, my baby and I.
Amen.

Arguement

2009-06-19T14:28:00.003+08:00

Ola...

I have a story - one that happened yesterday, 18th June 2009.

Here goes...

I went to BSB with my brother, Nicky, in the morning. He had an appointment at C Y Lim Clinic in Gadong at 9 am. We left KB around 7.30 am. Anyways, as most people I know would already be aware - I am a fast driver. I hardly drive slow, only under some circumstances. And yesterday is one where I would speed up, especially in the highway.

So. there was this car, a Ford Ranger (I think) that was also fast. It was driven by a man, maybe in his late 50s, and he was accompanied by his wife. At one point, my car was behind his car, on the right lane, and we were both fast. But I felt he was a bit slow, and since the left lane was empty except for a Corolla far infront, I overtook him by going into the left lane. He didn't want to slow down either. I got the chance to go infront of his car, so I signalled and went in front of his car. Unfortunately, the Corolla earlier suddenly changed lane, from left to right, without warning (no signals). I had to press my brake pedal to avoid hitting the Corolla from the back, and the Ford driver behind me had to slam his brakes too.

I think he was mad that I slammed my brakes, that he gave me emergency signals and highlighted at me. I gave no attention. Things like this happen in the highway everyday. The Ford uncle eventually followed me all the way to BSB. I thought that it was just my imagination that he was tailing me, but indeed, he was tailing me. So I led him around, from Gadong traffic light, up to the huge roundabout, then through the traffic light in Kiarong. On the stretch of road from Kiarong to BSB, he overtook me, but stayed by my side. He did not want to go infront of me. He pinned my car to the side, without hitting my car, though. He came out of his car and then opened the passenger door and shouted at me. Fcuk! I was stucked since I couldn't open my door. I was thinking of just slamming my door into his car, but I though wisely.

Fortunately for me, there was this police officer that saw he pinned my car to the side. He came and parked infront of my car. He went to the shouting uncle, and asked him to remove his car, since it was disturbing the traffic flow. He did, and I went out of the car, slammed my door and walked fiercely (haha...) towards the men....

(Below is the argument I had with the uncle, at the side of the road. I know I was so kurang ajar, but he is, too)

Yani: Apa hal kan kita ani? (Shouting...)

Uncle: Ko pandai drive kah? Yang ko trus2 masuk dpn keta ku?

Yani: Sapa suruh kita lambat? Kalau tau diri atu lambat, pakai lane kiri!

Uncle: Ko brake mengajut! Ko membahayakan kereta2 dblakang!

Yani: It's not my fault! Keta dari lane kiri tiba2 change lane, ndakan aku inda brake!

Then, police officer interrupted and asked the uncle...

Police: Kita kan buat laporan di balai polis?

Uncle: Inda, aku saja kan mengajar ia. Tanya ia pandai drive kah inda...

Yani: Kalau kita kan buat laporan, buat pulang. Aku inda takut. Aku tau aku inda salah. Ku lawan kita balik!

Police: Bah, kita berdua selesaikan cara luar saja, cara baik.

Yani: Bah, KALAU aku salah, aku minta maaf, tapi aku tau aku inda salah.

Uncle: Ko patutnya inda berpikir pasal dirimu sendiri, ko mesti pikirkan org lain jua.

Yani (dlm hati...) : Kalau ko pikirkan org lain, inda ko kan bubut aku jua, pakcik. Sensitive jua. Kalau inda pandai drive cara org drive di highway, jangan tah drive! And inda ko asak2 kan kerita mu sebelah kerita ku!

I was so mad! He keep blaming me without putting any blame on himself. I swear that if his wife went down to side him, I will piss her off and urgghhhhhh!!!!

I have never been this angry all my life, and I have never been this rude to any elderly. But this man does not deserve my respect, so I don't care if anyone thinks I am being dispectful and rude. No matter he is older than me, related to me or what (I have a feeling that his wife might be related to me), but such man should not be entertained! Feeling that he knows everything, and that he is the right one, you can rot in h*ll... Haha.. I am so evil, but I cannot contain my anger.

I feel that I was my 'most bad' yesterday, that I was swearing that he gets an accident. I am sorry. If I ever see him in the highway, I will tail him!!!!!!!

I am evil at this moment. Hehe..

I'll be normal later...

God bless my family, friends, my baby and I.
Amen.

The Many Happenings

2009-06-10T23:46:00.006+08:00

Hello people!

I have alot to blog about actually, since there were many things & events that happened since I last blog =)

First & foremost, I would like to wish

SELAMAT PENGANTIN BARU
Semoga berkekalan ke anak cucu!

Congratulations Aly & Emi on your wedding on 7th June 2009.
Both of you looked stunning!

Next...
Interviews interviews!
I haven't been to many interviews actually - just a few.
To share.......................

Department of Technical Education
I went for interview at DTE Gadong the afternoon of my convocation day, so I was in a rush after the convocation ceremony in ICC. There were 5 other ITB graduates who were interviewed on the same afternoon, but they were all from CIS dept. And they were still in the white convocation attire, while I was not.

So, I was the first who got interviewed, since I was the first to arrive at DTE. They were 8 interviewers, all of which are the principles of the technical and vocational schools in Brunei. I was asked so so so many questions and I was very happy that I answered all of them (but I wasn't very sure of my answers, which sucks), and I was happy to have gone out of the interview room. Haha. It was quite an experience. I have yet to hear from them =)

TelBru Berhad
I went for an interview at TelBru HQ in Berakas on June 4th 2009, at 2.00 pm. Athari accompanied me there. There were 7 people who got interviewed that afternoon.

There were 2 posts that was available, which I am not very sure what. I met 4 girls from ITB, who just graduated with HND in Computing. The other two was unknown to me since they didn't talk to me. So I was the 5th person who got interviewed eventhough I came second that day, so I have to wait while the others got interviewed. But I got the chance to ask others what questions came out, so it was OK to wait.

So, it was my turn to enter the room. There were 4 people there, 2 males and 2 females. I find it stupid to panic before that since the interview session went very very well. And I absolutely love the session. I was asked about my attachment, and since I was doing my internship in TelBru, I was giving good impressions =) Interview lasted around half an hour, which I think was the longest among the others. We had lots of laughter and discussions. It was good =)

DST Com
Woo...Quite a number of us were called to an orientation in DST. We were abit confused when the caller said 'orientation'. How could there be an orientation when we were not yet interviewed?! Anyways, Mimit, Azmi, Radi, Bong, Shatrina from Intake 22, and Diana, Rudey, Fifi and Jamal from Intake 21, and of course, I, went to the orientation. Firstly, we were briefed by the HR manager, and we were given different coloured ribbons and balloons.

We had an ice-breaking session where we need to blow our balloons, and we need to ask everyone in the room for their names, and what they see themselves as in 15 years. These info were to be written on the balloons. So, we all went around asking people these questions. In the end, those who got around 27 names and above were send to the front to be presented in front of the audience ( I am one of them!).

After that, we were divided into groups, according to the job positions we chose in our DST forms. I chose RF Network Engineer as my 1st choice, along with Bong, Shat, Fifi, Jamal and 3 other non-ITBians : Lokman, Hj Azmin and Zaki.

Anyways, we were given a task which we need to present infront of all the audience. Our task, if i remember correctly, was to give solution proposals to handle a situation whereby a village is cut off all primary communications due to flooding, which in turn causes landslide and cuts off all communication.

So, my group - Bong, Fifi, Hj Azmin and I did discussions and give out ideas. Our ideas which I jotted down on our big white presentation paper were:

Use of another cell's transmitter signals
Backup power such as solar power& batteries
Increase height of transmitting equipments
Use of a mobile transmitter
Installation of an alarm system to detect incoming flood

We were the first group to do the presentation, and after watching all the other presentations, I must admit that out group was the best presenting group! Haha.. We left after all the presentations were delivered.

Few days after that, I was called and was asked to come for an interview (finally) at DST HQ. All those who applied for RF Network Engineering were present. The format was quite different, and interesting. 4 people were to enter the room at the same time, and the first four persons was Lokman, Fifi, Hj Azmin and Shatrina. After they came out of the room, the rest of us went in.

There was six interviewers - 3 from RF Network Dept and 3 from HR Dept.
It was scary since the head of RF Network told everyone that he got so many questions to ask me! Hehe. So we were asked to introduce ourselves. The great thing was that all of them were not so strict and scary. they were funny, and understanding and very open in our discussions.

It is the weirdest interview I have ever been to, but it was alot of fun, and they make all the interviewees feel happy and calm. I went out of the room felling all happy and good. And I rode up the elevator up to 13 floor in a glass lift! Scary shittt...

Phewwwww.... Stories of my interviews, which sadly, I haven't got any call from... Soon soon... Positive!!!!

Anyways, baby I miss you......

God bless my family, friends, my bay and I.
Amen.

Written By A Man

2009-05-31T14:01:00.002+08:00

I want to share what a male friend of mine emailed me =)

IF A MAN WANTS YOU

If a man wants you, nothing can keep him away.

If he doesn't want you, nothing can make him stay.

Stop making excuses for a man and his behavior.

Allow your intuition (or spirit) to save you from heartache.

Stop trying to change yourselves for a relationship that's not meant to be .

Slower is better.

Never live your life for a man before you find what makes you truly happy.

If a relationship ends because the man was not treating you as you deserve

then heck no, you can't "be friends."

A friend wouldn't mistreat a friend.

Don't settle.

If you feel like he is stringing you along, then he probably is.

Don't stay because you think "it will get better."

You'll be mad at yourself a year later for staying when things are not better.

The only person you can control in a relationship is you.

Avoid men who've got a bunch of children by a bunch of different women.

He didn't marry them when he got them pregnant,

Why would he treat you any differently?

Always have your own set of friends separate from his .

Maintain boundaries in how a guy treats you .

If something bothers you, speak up.

Never let a man know everything. He will use it against you later .

You cannot change a man's behavior. Change comes from within.

Don't EVER make him feel he is more important than you are...

even if he has more education or in a better job.

Do not make him into a quasi-god.

He is a man, nothing more nothing less.

Never let a man define who you are .

Never borrow someone else's man .

Oh Lord! If he cheated with you, he'll cheat on you.

A man will only treat you the way you ALLOW him to treat you.

All men are NOT dogs.

You should not be the one doing all the bending - compromise is a two-way street.

You need time to heal between relationships...there is nothing cute about

baggage... deal with your issues before pursuing a new relationship

You should never look for someone to COMPLETE you...a relationship consists

of two WHOLE individuals...look for someone complimentary...not supplementary.

Dating is fun...even if he doesn't turn out to be Mr. Right.

Make him miss you sometimes...when a man always know where you are, and your

always readily available to him- he takes it for granted .

Don't fully commit to a man who doesn't give you everything that you need.

Keep him in your radar but get to know others.

Share this with other ladies..... You'll make someone SMILE, another

RETHINK her choices, and another woman PREPARE.

They say it takes a minute to find a special person, an hour to appreciate

them, a day to love them and an entire lifetime to forget them.

BY THE WAY, THIS WAS WRITTEN BY A MAN...

270509 & Somewhere In Tutong

2009-05-30T13:37:00.004+08:00

27th May 2009:-

Baby and I went to BSB to do... so many things actually.
Anyways, I departed from KB around 9.30 am and then stopped by in Lumut to get something, and headed to Athari's house afterwards.

So, we reached BSB and we did some textile shopping for mummy, and sent her documents to her office, and we went to Batu Satu to get my graduation picture at the studio. It was huge! Haha.. Then we stopped by at baby's office, and then we went to the Mall! Fuhhh...

Mall - We bought our tickets to watch 'Night At The Museum 2'. Before the movies, we ate lunch at the foodcourt. We saw Adeq, Athari's sister Farhana. Actually I saw her first.. Hehe. And we met Roslan and his classmates. And many sizzling sizzling food. Haha..

Afterwards, we did some grocery shopping in SKH Kiulap, and we went on our way back. We stopped by in Tutong to eat roti telur. Crazy, I love the fish curry! Haha.. When I just went into my car, Azmi & Ayong passed by. We kinda trail behind them when they headed for Seri Kenangan beach, but we went into some other streets after that to watch the wonderful sunset. Below are the pictures of the beach.. Haha..

Happy!

2009-05-06T21:06:00.003+08:00

HAPPY! HAPPY!
I am so HAPPY!

I had my degree interview just now. I was so panic and nervous and hell, I don't know. But I tried to pretend like I am OK, but behind that disguise, it was all panic!!! Haha..

Anyways, I was the last to enter the interview room. My interviewers were Sir Zainidi and Sir HMS. I was scared it was gonna be difficult and that they might be hard on me, but thank God, all went so smooth, and so good, and so great. I am so happy. I am glad to have worried actually, because if I hadn't done any worrying and panicking, I would care and wouldn't think =|

There were many other interviewees that were so much younger than me, more of 19 - 20 years old. I may be embarrassed to be in the same class as them, but I know I shouldn't be. Knowledge is what you learn all your life. If I do get through the degree course, I would be 27 once I become a 'degree' person. I don't know. But I don't care now, because I am very happy that I did well!

Also...
Sir HMS praised the committee for organizing such a great appreciation dinner. He was amazed by us, shall I say. I am glad everyone is happy with what we did, eventhough our preparation is such a short-minute one =)

Anyways, I had lunch at McDonald's with my baby, Radi, Chiemz and Fauzi. After eating, we went to walk around at the Mall, and I bought this really nice top in iTop. It's black in colour, so it's kinda same with most black top that I have. Haha. After the three of them left, Athari and I went to SKH Kiulap and Giant Rimba to buy some stuffs for our steamboat this Saturday. I am so looking forward to the day.

I am in a very good mood now, I feel like jumping around and dancing =)

Baby, thank you for accompanying me just now, and waiting for me eventhough you were still so tired and sleepy. I love you.

God bless my family, friends, my baby and I.
Amen.

Nervous!

2009-05-05T20:49:00.002+08:00

Ooohh!

I am so nervous because I am going to interview for degree tomorrow. The course I am interviewing for is Bachelor of Engineering In Electrical & Communication Engineering. I don't know what they will ask. I can't remember very clearly what I have learn, and it is killing me not knowing!

I just know about the news this afternoon by some friend, who will be interviewing tomorrow too. I wish everyone the best of luck in the interviews tomorrow.

Yesterday, I went to ITB with Maya and Nicky because they had their HND interviews in Business Marketing and Civil Engineering / Construction Engineering respectively. I think they did very well since they were in a very good mood after they came out of the room, especially Nicky; he was very talkative afterwards. Haha. I wish I will be like them tomorrow.

Anyways, I need to go and revise a little bit. Wish me all the best peeps!

Baby, I love you. And thank you for all the support!

God bless my family, friends, my baby and I.
Amen.

Emo-ish?

Emo Couple?
Haha..

2009-05-03T01:44:00.005+08:00

It's late but I wanna wish everyone as they enter the month of May.. Haha

I didn't plan on blogging actually, since Internet connections nowadays has been such a pain in the arse! It' so annoying! I hope FTTH will be implemented in Brunei soon. We need to develop. ADSL is so out of date!

Anyways, I was a bit hungry, as always in the middle of the night, so I went downstairs to get something to munch. I am now having bread pudding and tea while doing this =)

This week has been very confusing and tiring and full of surprises for some of my friends and I. There were some confusion among some friends of mine, and I am glad it is all settle!

On Thursday, I went to Miri with Athari. Originally, the plan was going with some mates too, but eventually, they couldn't make it due to some reasons. Asri, Azam, Chiemz and Fauzi had to cancel last minute. But, Azmi, Ayong, Didi, Chad and Ho went on the same day, but we only meet in Miri for a while. I was abit suprised to see the conditions in Miri. Lea Centre has a 50% sale on all shoes and bags, and I was a bit down because I didn't bring any cash for me. My money was for buying Maya's stuffs, but eventually, I went home with a new pair of heels, Cleo magazine and a new recipe book for me =) Thanks baby. My heels is actually for my convocation, but I am scared I am not gonna use it since it is 4 inch high, and I am scared I am gonna topple over the stage =| Bintang Plaza is under renovation. I have a feeling that it is gonna turn turn out to be something like 1Borneo. There were sales there too, and it hurts my heart =(

The next day, I went to BSB with mummy since she has to meet her client at 9 am. The client canceled it to 9.30 am so to fill the time, mummy and I had breakfast at Wanika Jerudong. I haven't been there for quite some time, which is since I moved away from Jerudong, and I miss eating there. I bet baby miss eating there too kan! After coming back to KB, I went to Miri AGAIN with my mummy, Maya, Helbe, Matet and Caleb. Caleb was so hard to look after Caleb and there was so many people around and he was running around bare-footed! Helbe bought Maya and I each a pair of heels. this time I got a red heels which I have been eyeing. It looks comfy, but same as the black heels, I am not sure if I am gonna wear it. Hehe. Then, mummy bought me another pair of heels. This time, it was only 2.5 inch and it's silverish grey in colour. The material is something like satin, and I absolutely love it =) We then went to eat at Sugarbun, and went to Bintang Plaza. We spent little time there since Helbe is in a rush to go back to Brunei. He has to work at 6pm. After about half an hour, we went back home. Maya and I was a bit disappointed as we wanted to really check out the new shops, but we had to go back. It was a tiring weekend! But 3 new footwear, I am so happy =D

Yesterday, Saturday, I went up to BSB for a post-ECE22 Dinner with the AJKs, dancers and PA people. There were 15 of us, including Abg PE, our dance instructor. The dinner was held at Matiah in Kiulap at 7pm. Most of us were late, including myself and Athari. We had a wonderful time there, just that the place is a little crowded and stuffy. We couldn't feel the air-conditioner since the place were crowded and there was no ventilation. We spend about 1 hour or more there and then I went to pay the bill. We had a group photo outside the venue and while some of us went home, the rest lingered outside and talk. It was close to 9.30pm when Athari and I went home. I dropped him off in Tutong and I went on my way to KB alone.

Athari's mum was voicing her concern if it was alright for me to go back to KB all alone since it was late. I think she wants me to stay overnight at their home, but I didn't bring any space clothing and toiletries. Besides, I am going to church early morning the next day, which is later, then I am going to Miri AGAIN AGAIN with Nicky and Maya. Nicky wants to get some shoes and clothes for his interview this Monday. Nicky and Maya will have their HND interviews this Monday in ITB. they are following my footsteps!!! Haha. Fortunately, their interview time is the same so there is no need for waiting too long. I am going to bring them to ITB, since we have to go from Kb early in the morning. I will take my leaving certificate, and I need to ask some stuffs about convocation at the admin. Anyways, Nicky will interview for Civil Engineering / Construction Engineering, whereas Maya will interview for Business Marketing. She wanted Business Management actually, but she was not chosen for that interview.

I still remember my interview, it was scary. Haha. And I don't know why I have to sit for the Maths exam, since I have my distinction for my O Level Maths, and I have an A Level grade for Maths. Nevertheless, the exam was so damn easy, and I met my first ITB friend through that exam, Wana. We then got interviewed together and then accepted together. I miss all those times =)

Anyways, I need to go to sleep. I have been lacking of sleep, and I have breakouts on my face, annoying! Sleep well everyone, and sweet dreams.

Baby, I love you so much, you know =)

God bless my family, friends, my baby and I.
Amen.

Salute The Women!

2009-04-29T21:38:00.004+08:00

Whatever you give a woman,
she will make greater.
If you give her sperm,
she'll give you a baby.
If you give her a house,
she'll give you a home.
If you give her groceries,
she'll give you a meal.
If you give her a smile,
she'll give you her heart.
She multiplies and enlarges
what is given to her.
So, if you give her any crap,
be ready to receive a ton of shit.

Hahaha..

2009-04-27T19:56:00.002+08:00

Ah.. I am so tired.

I went up to BSB with Athari just now to send in my DST application. The deadline is today and I know I am supposed to send it much earlier, but I didn't.

Anyways, we planned on having lunch at Charcoal's Grill & BBQ, but ended up not having lunch there. Instead, we had lunch in TPH Kiulap. I had Watan Ho & baby had Kolomee. The day was so hot that my watermelon juice finished rapidly.

We went to the mall.
There was an expo there, more on health and marriage, I think, since I see companies offering wedding packages.
Meanwhile, I bought 4 pairs of earrings. So happy =)

Now, I am having migraine and I am sleepy.
Gonna doze off soon. Ciao

Baby, thank you for accompanying me today. Wo ai nie!

God bless my family, friends, my baby and I.
Amen.

God bless my family, friends, my baby and I.

LOVE ACTUALLY

2009-04-23T17:56:00.003+08:00

General opinion's starting to make out that we live in a world of hatred and greed - but I don't see that - seems to me that love is everywhere. Igniting laughter, wreaking havoc, breaking hearts, daring commitments, forcing choices, catapulting spirits, forging inroads, creating risk-ecstatic, exciting, unwelcome, inconvenient, inexplicable, inelegant, unequalled.
Love actually is all around.

-Synopsis of Love Actually-

Interesting quotes from the movie "Why Did I Get Married?"

2009-04-23T12:16:00.004+08:00

I got this from an e-mail that my cousin Emily sent me. I really like what the message is trying to convey to everyone, and I would love to share it with everyone.

Interesting quotes from the movie
"Why Did I Get Married?"

In most cases, especially in relationships, you will only get 80% of what you NEED and you will hardly get the other 20% that you WANT in your relationship. There is always another person (man or woman) that you will meet and that will offer you the other 20% which is lacking in your relationship that you WANT. And believe me, 20% looks really good when you are not getting it at all in your current relationship.

But the problem is that you will always be tempted to leave that good 80% that you know you have, thinking that you will get something better with the other 20% that you WANT. But as reality has proven, in most cases, you will always end up with having the 20% that you WANT and losing the 80% that you really NEED and that you already had.

Be careful in deciding between what you WANT and NEED in your life.

Adultery happens when you start looking for what you don't have.

"Wow, this girl in my office is a real looker. But it's not her Wynona Rider features that got me. I'm crazy about her because she's also understanding, intelligent, tender - so many things that my spouse is not"

Somewhere along the way, you'll find a woman or a man who will be more charming or sensitive. More alluring. More thoughtful. Richer. Have greater sex appeal. And you will find a woman or man who will need you and pursue you and go loco over you more than your spouse ever did.

Because no wife or husband is perfect.
Because a spouse will only have 80% of what you're looking for.
So adultery takes place when a husband or wife looks for the missing 20%.

Let's say your wife is melancholic by nature.
You may find yourself drawn to the pretty clerk who has a cherry laugh no matter what she says: "I broke my arm yesterday, Hahahaha..."

Or because your wife is a homebody in slippers and pajamas, smelling of garlic and fish oil, you may fall for a fresh-smelling young sales representative that visits your office in a sharp black blazer, high heels, and a red pencil-cut skirt.
Or because your husband is the quiet type, your heart may skip a beat when you meet an old college flame who has the makings of a talk show host.

But wait! That's only 20% of what you don't have.

Don't throw away the 80% that you already have!

That's not all.

Add to your spouse's 80% the 100% that represents all the years that you have been with each other.
The storms you have weathered together.
The unforgettable moments of sadness and joy as a couple.
The many adjustments you have made to love the other.
The wealth of memories that you've accumulated as lovers.

Adultery happens when you start looking for what you don't have.

But faithfulness happens when you start thanking God for what you already have.

But I'm not just talking about marriage.

I'm talking about life!
About your jobs.
About your friends.
About your children.
About your lifestyles.

Are you like the economy airline passenger that perennially peeks through the door of the first class cabin, obsessed with what he's missing? "They have got more leg room! Oh my, their food is served in porcelain! Wow, their seats recline at an 80% angle and they've got personal videos!"

I guarantee you'll be miserable for the entire trip! Don't live your life like that. Forget about what the world says is first class. Do you know that there are many first class passengers who are miserable in first class – because they are not riding in a private Lear Jet?

The main message???

If you start appreciating what you have right now,
wherever you are, you are first class!

Much Love XOXO

The Next Event!

Sry Chiemz, aku ikut-ikut title post mu..haha

Anyways, in his recent post, Chiemz mentioned our long forgotten 'Potluck' Gathering plan. Let's make it guys!

Everyone should bring one dish on their own, and I mean everyone, and share it with the others. Most preferable is something you cook on your own. It doesn't matter if it's delicious or not, it's the effort and thought that counts. A potluck lunch is more convenient than a potluck dinner since we can have games and talks and other up till the evening/night. We can barbecue some of the food, do some dancing (which some of us are so so so good at already!)

We need to know when n where we could make this. Most preferably on a Sunday since some of us are already working. What about 3rd May 2009? Anyone's house available on that particular Sunday. I think the date would be prefect, because after that we will need to prepare ourselves for convocation, prepare the attire, the 2/3 days rehearsals, etc etc... OK kah?

We don't need a committee for this since it's informal. Just say the date, time and venue and make sure everyone, if possible, will come, and along with their dishes!

Feedback!!!!

Ola...

Just a random post...

Today, like any other days lately, I have been doing nothing much with my life. It's kind of sad, actually. When I think much about it, I feel like I have no motivation in living. All I do is eat, sleep, bath, watch TV, hang out. The same routine all over again. I need a job to keep me occupied and to really 'live'.

I know there are many works that I can do while waiting for convocation and while waiting to get a real job. I could work in the bakery that I used to work in, in the supermarkets as a general worker or a cashier. I am embarrassed at myself for not wanting to do such work now, since I think I am a HND holder, so I shouldn't do such work. But I know I am wrong. I used to be an independent person, but I don't know what happened to me. I have to set things right. I will start teaching tuition once more, home tuition. Eventhough I will be having only one student, I should be happy since I am earning my own money.

What set my mind in doing such actions? I was watching Oprah just now, and the issue they were discussing about was about the lack of clean water in developing countries, such as Kenya. It was sad looking at those children. They were drinking dirty water, which they used for bathing and washing, which animals used to throw faeces; it's where they pee and sh*t, everything that concerns water is in there. So when they drink the dirty germ-infested water, they get illness such as diarrhea and cholera. And since medication is scarce, they die. This made me cry just now. And I begin to think about my lifestyle as compared to theirs. We have clean water everytime we turn on the tap, and yet we still waste them when we take really unnecessarily long showers and baths, and when we brush our teeth, we don't turn off the tap.

I think we need to instill in our life the need to conserve water and other resources. We need to protect the environment to help our future generation to receive what we have received. Global warming is on the rise, the earth is getting warmer - sure we realize our afternoons are getting hotter each day. Sea water level is rising, making dry land to sink millimeters by millimeters - the main cause of flooding. The Eco-system is not very stable. We need to do our part in preserving this world that belongs to us!

Next random thing...

I miss my friends. I really do. The last few weeks have been great since I spent so much time being with the dinner AJKs and performers. I believe that during our school time, I haven't spent much time in getting to know them and be close enough to them. I now miss the times I spent in ITB - the classes and the labs, the gatherings, the lunches we use to have. I am sorry that I have taken those moments for granted. I really miss you guys. During the course of the dinner & dance practice, I have become closer to all the dancers. For example, Lucy. I wasn't very close to her, but now we even text each other just to tell that Boys Over Flowers DVD are out. Chiemz told me he felt quiet and sad. Radi said he wanted to cry (adaknnn). Even Asri felt different. This dinner has brought all of us together. Aku miss kamu =(

Anyways, enjoy the allowances, but spend wisely friends, because we don't know when we will need emergency money. And to think we won't get anything for the months after this, except if we earn it =)

God bless my family, friends, my baby and I.
Amen.

ECE22 Appreciation Dinner

2009-04-20T01:13:00.004+08:00

Hello All!

I had a blast last weekend! It was splendid!

Last Saturday was the day of the ECE22 Dinner.

I was early at the hotel. But the BSB people were earlier since I was from KB. I think I arrived in LR Asma Hotel at around 1.30ish pm. Anyways, we wanted to check-in into our rooms. I booked 4 rooms one day earlier. But they wanted a deposit of $100 per room, so I paid for 3 rooms' deposit.

Anyways, after checking in, I went into my room and walked to others' room to check out their rooms. We were excited! Athari came and we went to Hua Ho Bunut to get some stuffs, and went back to the hotel. Then after resting awhile, all the dancers were told to go the gym to do some dance routine practices. It was really nice since there were mirrors there, so we can see how we were dancing. It was beautiful, shall I say! Then, we went to the the stage on which we would be dancing. Tried dancing again, and we just need some last minute polishing up.

All of us went back to our rooms to get ready for the night. I had a warm bath, and dressed in my Egyptian aka Arabian attire. I went to check out the girls, and had my makeup done by Nadia, in shades of brown. I blowdried my hair, so my hair was all straight, not the curly ones that I have decided earlier. I am so excited by that time, I think everyone was.

When I got down to the dressing room (VIP room which served as our changing room), no other guests have arrived yet, besides the dancers and people who were at the hotel since noon. Radi and I got the candles ready for every table. We checked for last minute prefections in our venue. Close to perfect! Hehe... I was so nervous...

Well, by 7pm, students started pouring into the restaurant. Some lecturers arrived too. As more and more people arrived, the atmosphere became noisy and full of happiness. People taking photos, chatting with each other, rushing here and there, people changing clothes and touching up their makeups, PA system administrator (Athari) playing his songs, and many more. It was a little chaotic as the time approaches 8pm, but we eventually got everyone to sit down and be calm.

At 10 past 8, the MC (Radi) started the event. We began with a speech by myself. Actually, I had no idea what to say on the night; I just wrote up some speech the night before, one which I think is suitable and direct - short and simple. Then, our HOD went out to the podium to deliver his speech. While he was doing that, I rushed into the dressing room to get changed into my Kadazan attire since we will be performing our first performance after the speech by the HOD. Thankfully, his speech was abit longer than mine, so I had time to calm myself down.

Music started and we went out to entertain our audience. I think they were stunned by us, and the dancers couldn't stop smiling. It was so great. The nervousness all went away, and we were the centre of attraction at that moment. We did not worry if we got our steps wrong because we knew we could do it perfectly. After the Kadazan dance, the Zapin dancers continued after us. They were spectacular. While they were dancing, the previously Kadazan dancers changed into the Indian attire to dance our next dance. We rushed onto the stage as the Zapin dancers went to get changed. All 5 pairs of dancers finally danced the Bollywood dance, which was fantastic and great. We did not feel the exhaustion like we usually did during practice. All we felt was happiness and gladness and pride =) And I got a real rose from Chiemz. Thank you!

Dinner was next and after the guests were all seated with their food, the Fashion Show started. It was great - a line of students wearing international attire. I mself were changed into my Orang Ulu attire. I could feel all eyes were on us, and the feeling, it was magical.

After changing attires, yet again, for the last performance, we got ready. The girls were dancing the song 'Nobody' by Wondergirls. We did some mistakes early in the dance, but that didn't bug us so much and we were having fun. The boys danced to 'Jai Ho' by A. R. Rahman Feat. The Pussycat Dolls. They were great too. Lastly, we wrapped our fur around our next to dance 'Right Now' by The PCDs again, along with the boys. That was a wrap! It felt wonderful, and worth all the hard work and effort we put.

We had a photosession with all lecturers, staff, students and guests at the winding staircase of Asma Hotel. It was nice, lawa berabis! Then, we shook hands with all staff, hugs and had small conversations. It felt like it's the end.

We had dancing sessions after the lecturers left. The song that had the most effect on me was 'Graduation' by Vitamin C and 'You Raise Me Up' by Josh Groban. Mostly all the students were on the stage, singing along to the song, while holding hands and hugging each other. I felt like crying; I think some tears fell. It really felt like we are leaving each other. All memories came rushing into my mind, and I begin to miss our wonderful times as a class.

Then, some people went back to their seats, while majority stayed on the stage to dance and sing, or just enjoy the moment.

What A Night To Remember!

God bless my family, friends, my baby and I.
Amen.

Fun Facts : Taurus

2009-04-19T23:56:00.002+08:00

Strong, dependable Taurus leads the way when it comes to reaping the rewards of hard work. Lovers of everything that is fine and beautiful, Taureans surround themselves with material gains. This is a sensual, tactile sign. Touch is very important in everything from work to romance. Stable and conservative, Taureans are among the most reliable of the zodiac. While sometimes viewed as stubborn, this sign will plod along on a task until the very end, ensuring that everything is up to standard. They're highly creative and thoroughly enjoy making things with their own hands.

Friends and Family
Domestic affairs are very important to the Taurus. Values surrounding family are usually strong and fixed to the point where the Bull will do anything to protect them. Intelligence and a good sense of humor make this sign great company, and Taureans are often sought for advice on the practical way of doing things. Once a friend is made and trusted, this relationship will last for a lifetime. They're loyal and always willing to lend a hand. In fact, many friendships for the Taurus start in childhood. Promises and oaths to others are taken seriously. Time spent with family members is also prized. Taureans adore children, and will be the first at family events such as reunions and holiday gatherings. They love to entertain in their own homes and don't think twice about having a house full of friends and relatives to celebrate life's events.

Career and Money
Stability is the keyword for this sign. The key phrase for Taurus is "I have." Taureans love money, and they're not afraid to work hard to get it. On the job, the Taurus is dependable, patient, and thorough. Once they set their minds to a project, they will stick with it until completion, regardless of how long or complicated it might be. Taureans are on time, up for almost anything, and diligent.

A sense of one's values is a huge motivator when it comes to the Taurus. Second to that is the love of the rewards that follow hard work. Because members of this sign love to surround themselves with material finery and enjoy the better foods and luxuries that life has to offer, work is very important. It is the means to an end - and the Taurus is always aware of this.

Taureans are excellent managers of money. They will pay their bills on time and will keep a reserve tucked away. On occasion, you can see some overspending, but this is only once in a while. The Taurus will plan for the item they desire and save until they have the additional resources to attain what they want.

Expect affections to be shown through material items - the Taurus is a great gift-giver.

2009-04-15T23:51:00.003+08:00

Oooohhh...
Its' like 3 more days to the dinner..
I am so excited, and I bet all the dancers are too!

Anyways, last night we had our last practice with Nadia's brother since he left for Kuala Lumpur just now. He commented on each of the dancers, and he said I was out of tempo at times. I need to slow down. Hehe.. Constructive critisim is always good. We did alot of repeatations of dancings yesterday; it was exhausting and fun. We finished abit early and so I got to go back early but ended up abit late since Athari and I cruised Tutong town to search for food but to no success. We ended up tapau-ing food from the gerai in Telisai. The burger was delicious. Also, a tragedy happened yesterday because there was a fire accident that happened in Bukit Beruang. A car was on fire and it looked scary and dangerous. Thank you Bala for informing us earlier.

Anyways, I went to Miri with Athari just now. The main purpose was to buy my contact lenses but I ended up buying a pair of white patent wedges. Thank you baby! Hehe. We ate at McDonald's for lunch and we had the McValue Lunch sets, which were so cheap. I wish Brunei has those sets too, but sadly NO. Baby bought more stuffs than I did, of course since it's all his money. Haha. He bought KFC chicken (the big bucket thingy!), long pants for Afiq, DVDs (Dragonball), and some others. There were still sales there, and how I wish my allowances are out. So sad.

I had dinner with the girls just noe, Josline and Emily. We went to Marilyn Cafe. Emily had Beef Lasagna and Iced Nescafe. Josline had Beef Pizza and Warm Lemon. I had Tom Yam Meehoon and Iced Peach Tea. It was a wonderful moment we had. We haven't been spending much tme together. I got a black bracelet from Emily. It was from her last trip to KL. Josline got a red one. Then, we went back to my place to transfer the Boys Over Flowers drama series to Josline, and while waiting, we watched Cinemax. Some intereting movie. They went home after the movie, not wanting to wait for the transfer. I will send her hard disks tomorrow.

Tomorrow, I will be going to BSB quite early in the afternoon to run some errands for my mum. Need to do somethign for the dinner, and then I will have practice in the evening. Maybe, I will sleep over in Bengkurong at Helbe's if I am tired.

Anyways, good night.

Baby, I love you, and thank you =)

God bless my family, friends, my baby and I.
Amen.

Happy Easter

2009-04-12T03:38:00.002+08:00

HAPPY EASTER!

I would like to wish everyone a great Easter!
The last Thursday-Friday-Saturday ia counted as the most important event, more important than Christmas, in the Catholic calender. Holy Thursday, Good Friday and Easter Saturday Vigil. I bet in the western countries, people are having a long weekend, or maybe a long holiday.

Anyways, I just woke up, and I will soon be helping mummy in the kitchen. We are cooking for the Easter Sunday lunch later. I am still abit sleepy, but I will be fully awake soon.

Talking randomly...

I want a vacation. I have not yet been to KK this year, KL in 4 years, Miri in a few months, Japan in 3 years, Thailand in 3 years, ... Not too much places I have been to, though. I miss travelling. I must at least go to Miri to not make me feel this way. Miri is not very far, though. Even BSB is farther away from home then Miri. But... Allowance please come out! Kesian!

ECE22 Dinner is about 6 days away.. Wuhuuu.. I am excited so the very much, and I can't wait for the dinner. I think that I have not given my best in organizing the dinner. But last two days, my baby texted me that he respects me and is happy with me because I am doing so much for the dinner. I was happy that he told me that. He is proud of me. *kambang now*

Convocation is not very far away too. I have send my materials to the tailor. And I hope I shed some body mass too.. Haha

I miss my baby too much these days!

Baby, Happy Belated 22 Monthsary.

(Not that I haven't wish you, but I want to announce it publicly jua. Haha)

Thank you everything syg <3

God bless my family, friends, my baby and I.
Amen.

April 9th

2009-04-09T14:28:00.002+08:00

Ola peeps..

I am sorry to have abandon my blog since March 24th.
I have been abit busy though.

My sister, Maya, was hospitalized for about 9 days. I stayed at the hospital on her first night in the ward and I couldn't get any sleep, so I was exhausted the next morning. We went to the ER on the night she was admitted, since she has been vomiting for about 9 times that day.

Mum and Maya went to see the doctor in the room while I waited outside. From what I heard, the doctor just said that Maya had food poisoning without even checking her thoroughly. Mum insisted that Maya be admitted since she is in a bad condition but the doctor rejected the idea, but still my mum insisted. So, Maya was send into Ward 11. She was on drip, I think the total bottles they used on her was 20+. How crazy is that. Many days have passed, and the doctors came with many conclusions, that she has germ infections, and she has a swollen liver, then hepatitis. What's all this?

Many crazy things happened there which I am so lazy to blog down.

Also, I have been spending so many afternoons going up to BSB and late nights going back to KB. It has been very tiring for both my car and I. Thankfully, I have Athari to accompany me from Tutong and back to Tutong. SO, I have only Tutong-KB journey to endure alone on those crazy lonely nights. Nothing paranormal and supernatural has happened though I wished them much. Haha.

Anyways, the dinner plan is coming up well... I'll update more later.

I had a bad experience of having a thumbnail pressed into my foot yesterday morning. It was crazy, the pain is........ I didn't know there was something on the floor, and I was trying to reach into the wall plug to get my mobile charger, and suddenly I felt this force up my foot, and I thought it was a piece of glass, but what would a broken glass be doing on the floor since I have not broken anything. The pain didn't settle in just yet, but when I saw what it was, the feeling of intense pain came rushing. I tried to pull the tack out but it hurts more since the sharp part is in the flesh.. ( Even now, I feel my foot tingling with pain as I imagined what happened!) Anyways, I let the tact in my flesh for about five minutes, so I can calmly cry and take it out. Haha. I tried to pull, and pain was all I felt. Not wanting it to stay there much longer, I pulled in a go. It was so painful. Nearly all of the sharp part was in the flesh. Not much blood came out though since the hole is little, but I was a little scared of infection since the tact was abit rusted. I didn't bother of going to the hospital but I washed the wound thoroughly with Dettol. Haha

The story of the thumbtack seemed to have been longer that anything else in this post.

I miss Caleb. I should bring him back to KB.

And baby, I love you <3

God bless my family, friends, my baby and I.
Amen.

Happy 24th of March!

2009-03-24T13:49:00.003+08:00

Happy 24th of March *too positive*

I had a 2nd meeting with the committee members of the ECE22 Dinner yesterday afternoon at TPH Batu Bersurat at 1.30pm.

I went down early, around 10.30am from my home in KB. I stopped by at Athari's house to get money, to collect him phone which was at the service center. I was thinking where to go first, since baby's phone was in Gadong, and I had to go to mummy's office in BSB to send something and also to SKH Kiulap to do some shopping. Since it was nearly lunch time, I decided to go to Gadong first to avoid the lunch jam. Besides, mummy's office were closed for lunch break. I got a parking space somewhere around the Communist area. And I saw mum's supervisor, Robert, so I gave the document to him. So, I need not go to the BSB area =). Went to get the phone, and decided to get some DVDs. I bought 2 English movies and 3 Indonesian movies. Haha. Anyways, I went to SKH Kiulap next. I bought a carton of fish fillets, custard powders, chili, watermelon, snacks and snow peas. I thought that I was going to be late, but it seemed that it was still so early. I went to the 89c shop behind SKH and see the stuffs.

I eventually drove to TPH, so I wouldn't be caught in the traffic jam later on. Even then, noone was there etc. I was a bit too early, I guess. Then, Chiemz came, and we went in the shop first. Then Azmi came followed by Radi, then Lucy with Nadia and Mahrin. We discussed many things, including the invitation card layout, the budget problem, the souvenirs, the songs that we are going to dance to, and some others. We even saw some dance moves on Nadia's laptop. So exciting. And Radi is talking so loudly (bising!haha) and Chiemz wants us to dance womanizer (haha!).. Macam macam..

I was supposed to check out the banquet hall with Radi after the meeting but I was kind of in a rush, so I cancelled the plan. Went to pick up Caleb and his maid in Batu 1, and drove back to KB. We were having a rosary dinner at home. When I reached home, there were lots of food already prepared - fish curry, chicken masak merah, sayur umbut nangka, mixed vege in prawn sauce, and I cooked the pumpkin =)

Nicky and I have a wonderful laugh looking at my parents' old albums. Classic the pictures eh! I might scan some later and post it up. Hehe.

Anyways, the days before that has been wonderful. I went out with Athari on Saturday afternoon. We went to Ayamku and went shopping in Soon Lee. We then went to Mumong Sports Complex to do some jogging. It was hot and noone was there except us. It was wonderful. Altogether I did 1.5 laps of jogging and 1.5 laps of walking. I can't believe that jogging part since I am not a fan of jogging. It hurts me to jog, but I managed and I am happy with myself! Hehe...

Then, we went to Jubilee park to go to the beach. There were many people around, and I brought my camera along. Nowadays, I haven't been using the camera much (pasal it's not DSLR..malu*) haha... But, I have some wonderful pictures taken by Athari, and I'll post it up as soon as I transferred it to my laptop.

I watched Boys Over Flowers episode 22 just now! And I am so so happy! Gu Jun Pyo didn't get married to Ha Jae Kyung, and I am happy. She objected it last minute during the matrimonial ceremony, along with Ji Hoo, I-Jeong, Woo Bin and Ga Eul! And Jan Di can finally go back with Jun Pyo. Ahh... I can't say everything here since it will spoil the drama. Hehe...

I miss my baby..much much..many many =)

Have a great day all!

God bless my family, friends, my baby and I.
Amen.

A Story To Love By

2009-03-20T23:21:00.002+08:00

There was a blind girl who hated herself because she was blind.

She hated everyone, except her loving boyfriend. He was always there for her.

She told her boyfriend, 'If I could only see the world, I will marry you.'

One day, someone donated a pair of eyes to her. When the bandages came off, she was able to see everything, including her boyfriend.

He asked her,'Now that you can see the world, will you marry me?' The girl looked at her boyfriend and saw that he was blind. The sight of his closed eyelids shocked her. She hadn't expected that. The thought of looking at them the rest of her life led her to refuse to marry him.

Her boyfriend left in tears and days later wrote a note to her
saying: 'Take good care of your eyes, my dear, for before
they were yours, they were mine.'

This is how the human brain often works when our status changes.

Only a very few remember what life was like before, and who
was always by their side in the most painful situations.

Life Is A Gift

Today before you say an unkind word
Think of someone who can't speak.

Before you complain about the taste of your food
Think of someone who has nothing to eat.

Before you complain about your husband or wife
Think of someone who's crying out to God for a companion.

Today before you complain about life
Think of someone who died too early on this earth.

Before you complain about your children
Think of someone who desires children but they're barren.

Before you argue about your dirty house
someone didn't clean or sweep
Think of the people who are living in the streets.

Before whining about the distance you drive
Think of someone who walks the same distance with their feet.

And when you are tired and complain about your job
Think of the unemployed, the disabled,
and those who wish they had your job.

But before you think of pointing the finger
or condemning another
Remember that not one of us is without sin.

And when depressing thoughts seem to get you down
Put a smile on your face and think:
you're alive and still around.

Bad News!

2009-03-20T00:58:00.003+08:00

Okay.. I am in the frustrated mode.

I have heard from more than 1 source that our allowances might be delayed, and probably will come out earliest by mid-April, and not late March or early April as predicted.

This news brought quite a number of problems, though:

Convocation - We need the money to pay for our convocation baju (the white one) and our convocation dinner attire, along with our accessories, as needed.
ECE22 Dinner - We need the money by early April to pay for the hotel, and since it might most probably be out by mid-April, we will have to think of something, maybe change to a later date. How? Will be confirmed.
Money needed to pay bills, debts, etc etc...

Gosh... This is killing me!!!!

But, don't really rely on this news, I am still not sure!

Cracks of A Broken Heart

2009-03-19T00:31:00.001+08:00

Maybe we need just a little more time
Time that can heal what's been on your mind
You can find what we lost before it all slips away
We need time to mend from the mistakes I've made
God only knows what a heart can survive
So many tears from all the pain in our lives
And where else could we go after all we've been through
I still believe my life is right here with you

So just hold on
And it'll won't take long
I hope that you can love me
When the pain is gone
I don't want us to fall through the cracks of a broken heart
Don't want us to fall through the cracks of your broken heart

I know its taking a while, but every lesson I've learned
And if your heart speaks tonight, I'll hear every word
If you want to be free, I'll never stand in your way
But with all that I am, I'm asking you to stay

Hold on
And it'll won't take long
I hope that you can love me
When the pain is gone
I don't want us to fall through the cracks of a broken heart
Don't want us to fall through the cracks of your broken heart

There's a light that can burn
It exists in the heart
You can feel it when you know love is true
If you could try to be strong
And keep the light burning long
It took a lifetime but i found it in you

Hold on
And it'll won't take long
I hope that you can love me
When the pain is gone
I don't want us to fall through the cracks of a broken heart
Don't want us to fall through the cracks of your broken heart

Breaking Down

2009-03-19T00:10:00.005+08:00

Good Early Morning..

I am feeling down. I am not sure why, though. But, I guess I can blame it all on Boys Over Flowers. I watched episodes 20 and 21 today.

I am sad since Gu Jun Pyo have to get married to Ha Jae Kyung, but he still likes Geum Jan Di. He loves her. I really want them to be with each other. But, URGHHHH!!! Jae Kyung don't want to let go of Jun Pyo though she knows that it's her bestfriend's, Jan Di's, love. To quote Jun Pyo - "There is a girl that I like. The first since I was born. And until the day I die. She's the only one." So sweet!

Anyways, besides that, my brother keep repeating this song for me, making me feel like I want to break down. It's called 'Cracks of My Broken Heart' by Big Bang, originally sang by Eric Benet. Sedih ku ehh...

Nangis ku~

And I mish my baby :(

God bless my family, friends, my baby and I.
Amen

Dinner Updates #3

Gd evening.

Updates!

Yesterday, we had a meeting in Ahan Thai BSB, about the ECE dinner. Present yesterday afternoon was Lucy, Radi, Chiemz, Azmi, Azam, Khalid and I. I was abit late since I was from KB (alasan!) and I had to stop by at Bengkurong first.

Anyways, we came to some understandings =)

The ECE22 Dinner will be held in LR Asma Hotel, Jerudong.
Date and time of the event is 18th April 2009, starting at 7.30pm.
The theme for the event is confirmed to be International Night, so let's get your attires ready, people!
I have called the student guests who were yet to conformed and we got some good answers (Yeay!), except for Uncle Zul (who will be training in the jungle that time), Pg Hairol, Wong, Mimit and Hjh Nana (who is pregnant at the moment). I hope to get good answers from them too =)
There will be performances, including dances and singing. There will be a mixed cultural performance by our talented dancers, and singing. Singing, I was suggesting, to be done by the whole class, if possible. Also, in the end, we want to dance the Poco-Poco dance as a whole class too =)
I can't disclose many information, just wait for the event itself!

Extra Information (Important!)

If our allowances are out by the end of this month, I really really hope that we can collect the money ASAP because the hotel needs a deposit of 50% of the amount. Else, I have to make a back-up plan.

ECE22 Dinner Plans

2009-03-13T12:35:00.005+08:00

Especially for ECE Intake 22.

I am sorry but I have taken the liberty of organizing the ECE Dinner this year, since I have seen no-one organizing it. I hope you guys don't mind =)

Anyways, I have texted almost all of the ECE-ians, and many have responded positively to this event. I have yet to get some response from few mates - Salza, Hj Nana, Beb, Nadia, Mimit, Shatrina, Salmi, Mursidi, Pg Hairol, Uncle Zul, Hanif, Ho, Vincent, Wong & Bong. The others have said their approval upon the matter said. Thank you! I don't have Pg Hairol's number, can someone please frwd the msg to him? Thanks

Initially, I asked for $30 per person - this is to cover expenses such as food for both students and lecturers, and maybe some decorations, and perhaps, little souvenirs, if the budget allows us. I dare not ask for more than the amount since majority of us are still unemployed, and allowances are taking too damn long to be released. But, I would be very thankful if anyone donates more than the amount =D

The attendees would us, of course, and all the ECE lecturers and lab technicians, regardless whether they have taught us before or not.

Also, I have roughly discussed about this with Azmi over MSN. We were thinking if we should have a theme for the dinner or not. He mentioned "Elegant & Charming". I have many ideas, though, but we need to do something that fits our budget nicely. Anyone, pls, contribute. Or else, we will just dress up nicely, the ladies with smart dresses or so, and the gentlemen with long sleeves, ties, tux? Hehe.. It will be a semi-formal event, or casual-smart.

Venue - this is yet to be confirmed. I asked iLotus, and the buffet is $18 per pax. I think we have around 72 guests, if all were to go. We will have to check some other places, which is affordable and comfortable. I have yet to get a quotation from Holiday Lodge.

Invitations will be sent as soon as possible.

NOW... I need a committee to help me. Maybe a 4 to 5 people team. I need people to do invitations and send them, treasurer, decorations (i doubt much could be done with this), people to survey the venues. I will be in the team, and will help out as much as I could, since I live far off at the other end of the country. But I can go up twice or thrice a week to handle this. I have put Azmi in the team, since we discussed it initially together. Maybe Chiemz, since he is so rajin =) Siapa lagi, yang can spare their time. Lucy?

Date date.... This should be in April, before our convocation. I am proposing the 2nd week of April, on 11.04.09, Saturday. Any objections? Or should we make it the 3rd week of April. I hope all our allowances will be out by this month, so money can be collected to avoid 'terpakai' duit. No hard feelings k.

Anyways, I need feedback from you people.

Text me or drop something in the shoutbox.
Thank you so very much guys!

I will make this our best ECE dinner, I'll try my best!

God bless my family, friends, my baby and I.
Amen.

Much Love,
Yani

Why One Wife Now Chooses To SHop Alone

2009-03-12T00:15:00.002+08:00

Here's a proof of what can happen when a woman drags her highly disinterested husband or boyfriend along when shopping. This letter was sent by a British Hypermart to a customer in Oxford:

Dear Mrs Murray,

While we thank you for your valued patronage and use of our store's loyalty card, the manager of the store is considering banning you and your family from shopping with us, unless your husband stops his antics.

Below is a list of just some offences over the past few months, all verified by our surveillance cameras:

15 Jun: Took 24 boxes of condoms and randomly put them in people's trolleys when they weren't looking.
2 Jul: Set all alarm clock in Hardwares to go off at five-minute intervals.
14 Aug: Moved a "Caution - Wet Floor" sign on a carpeted area.
4 Oct: Look right into the security camera and used it as a mirror to pick his nose.
3 Dec: Darted around the store suspiciously, loudly humming the Mission Impossible theme.
18 Dec: Hid in a clothing rack and yelled "Pick me! Pick me!".
23 Dec: Went into a fitting room, shut the door, then yelled very loudly "There is no toilet paper here!".

Yours Sincerely,
Store Manager

PS. Attention Chiemz

2009-03-11T14:58:00.002+08:00

Chiemz... Thanx for the long feedback ehh.. Haha

Anyways, dinner for the lecturers. This type of event are usually held every year for the lecturers to thank them for what they did for us - teaching us, helping us, make us knowledgeable, supporting us, making us what we are today.

So, I think it would be nice if we make kind of a farewell thingy for them, since we've been with them close to 3 yrs, and now we're leaving. This also gives us a chance to meet us as a class with all the ECE lecturers and lab technicians. So far, I know this have been made an annual event for them.

It would be up to us to decide to make it, what theme (if any), and so on. But, the budget will be on us, including food for the lecturers. Yatah, if we are to make one, we should plan out nicely. I was thinking $30 per person would be just nice to pay for all the expenses. But, only my ideas lah.

Yeah a potluck party would be wonderful. I don't expect every single person will come though, but just a bunch of us would be lawa. Hehe. So, u up to it? I am! We need to find a place to hold the potluck, better still, one of the classmate's houses, so sng if kekurangan. Also, we can chill and liat TV and main game. Hehe.. And I can bring chocolate fountain! Hehe. Rumah ctari? Skati =P

Awu, when I get work, I will buy a new car for my dad before I get myself a new car. Balas jasa my dad working and earning money to raise me up. I promised that to my mum and myself sudah =)

Daaa...

Nilai Sebuah Kereta & Seorang Anak

2009-03-11T01:56:00.002+08:00

I got this from a friend's blog.
It brought tears to my eyes...

Ingatlah.... marah mcm mana sekali pun, jgnlah bertindak keterlaluan...

Kepada semua parents, sebuah kisah untuk dijadikan iktibar dan pengajaran......

Sebagai ibu kita patut juga menghalang perbuatan suami kita memukul, especially pada anak2 yg masih kecil dan taktau apa2 lagi tu. Mengajar dgn cara memukul bukanlah cara terbaik, mungkin dah sampai masa untuk badan2 kebajikan educate org Brunei untuk praktikkan konsep "time out" jika anak2 buat salah.

Sepasang suami isteri - seperti pasangan lain di kota-kota besar - meninggalkan anak-anak diasuh pembantu rumah semasa keluar bekerja.

Anak tunggal pasangan ini perempuan berusia tiga setengah tahun. Bersendirian di rumah, dia kerap dibiarkan pembantunya yang sibuk bekerja bermain diluar, tetapi pintu pagar tetap dikunci. Bermainlah dia sama ada berbuai-buai di atas buaian yang dibeli bapanya, ataupun memetik bunga raya, bunga kertas dan lain-lain di laman rumahnya.

Suatu hari dia terjumpa sebatang paku karat. Dia pun melakar simen tempat letak kereta ayahnya tetapi kerana diperbuat daripada marmar,lakaran tidak kelihatan. Dicubanya pada kereta baru ayahnya.

Ya... kerana kereta itu bewarna gelap, lakarannya jelas. Apa lagi kanak-kanak ini pun melakarlah melahirkan kreativitinya. Hari itu bapa dan ibunya bermotosikal ke tempat kerja kerana laluannya sesak sempena perayaan Thaipusam. Penuh sebelah kanan dia beredar ke sebelah kiri kereta. Dilakarnya gambar ibu dan ayahnya, gambarnya sendiri, lukisan ayam, kucing dan sebagainya mengikut imaginasinya. Kejadian itu langsung tak disedari si pembantu rumah.

Pulang petang itu, terkejut badaklah pasangan itu melihat kereta yang baru setahun dibeli dengan bayaran ansuran, berbatik-batik. Si bapa yang belum pun masuk ke rumah terus menjerit...

"Siapa punya kerja ni?"

Pembantu rumah yang tersentak dengan jeritan itu berlari keluar. Dia juga beristighfar. Mukanya merah padam ketakutan tambah-tambah melihat wajah bengis tuannya. Sekali lagi diajukan pertanyaan keras kepadanya, dia terus mengatakan.. .

"Tak tahu... !"

"Duduk di rumah sepanjang hari tak tahu, apa kau buat?" herdik si isteri pula.

Si anak yang mendengar suara ayahnya, tiba-tiba berlari keluar dari bilik. Dengan penuh manja dia berkata... "Ita buat ayahhh.. cantik kan !" katanya menerkam ayahnya ingin bermanja seperti selalu.

Si ayah yang hilang sabar merentap ranting kecil pokok bunga raya di depannya, terus dipukul bertalu-talu tapak tangan anaknya. Si anak yang tak mengerti apa-apa terlolong-lolong kesakitan sekaligus ketakutan. Puas memukul tapak tangan, si ayah memukul pula belakang tangan anaknya. Si ibu cuma mendiamkan diri, antara setuju dan takut pada suami dengan hukuman yang dikenakan. Pembantu rumah melopong, tak tahu nak buat apa-apa. Si bapa cukup rakus memukul-mukul tangan kanan dan kemudian tangan kiri anaknya.

Selepas si bapa masuk ke rumah dituruti si ibu, pembantu rumah menggendong anak kecil itu, membawanya ke bilik. Dilihatnya tapak tangan dan belakang tangan si anak kecil calar balar.

Pembantu rumah memandikan anak kecil itu. Sambil menyiram air sambil dia menangis. Anak kecil itu pula terjerit-jerit menahan kepedihan sebaik calar-balar itu terkena air. Si pembantu rumah kemudian menidurkan anak kecil itu.

Si bapa sengaja membiarkan anak itu tidur bersama pembantu rumah.

Keesokkan harinya, pembantu rumah mengadu kedua-dua belah tangan si anak bengkak. ..

"Sapukan minyak gamat tu!" balas tuannya, bapa si anak.

Pulang dari kerja, dia tidak melayan anak kecil itu yang menghabiskan masa di bilik pembantu. Si bapa konon mahu mengajar anaknya.

Tiga hari berlalu, si ayah langsung tidak menjenguk anaknya, sementara si ibu juga begitu tetapi setiap hari bertanya kepada pembantu rumah.

"Ita demam... " jawap pembantunya ringkas.

"Bagi minum panadol tu," balas si ibu.

Sebelum si ibu masuk bilik tidur dia menjenguk bilik pembantunya. Apabila dilihat anaknya Ita dalam pelukan pembantu rumah, dia menutup semula pintu.

Masuk hari keempat, pembantu rumah memberitahu tuannya bahawa suhu badan Ita terlalu panas.

"Petang nanti kita bawa ke klinik. Pukul 5.00 siap" kata majikannya itu.

Sampai waktunya si anak yang longlai dibawa ke klinik. Doktor mengarahnya ia dirujuk ke hospital kerana keadaannya serius.

Setelah seminggu di wad pediatrik doktor memanggil bapa dan ibu kanak-kanak itu.

"Tiada pilihan.." katanya yang mencadangkan agar kedua-dua tangan kanak-kanak itu dipotong kerana gangren yang terjadi sudah terlalu teruk.

"Ia sudah bernanah, demi nyawanya tangan perlu dipotong dari siku ke bawah" kata doktor.

Si bapa dan ibu bagaikan terkena halilintar mendengar kata-kata itu. Terasa diri tunggang terbalik, tapi apalah dapat dikatakan. Si ibu meraung merangkul si anak. Dengan berat hati dan lelehan air mata isterinya, si bapa terketar-ketar menandatangani surat kebenaran pembedahan.

Keluar dari bilik pembedahan, selepas ubat bius yang dikenakan habis, si anak menangis kesakitan. Dia juga terpinga-pinga melihat kedua-dua tangannya berbalut putih. Direnung muka ayah dan ibunya. Kemudian ke wajah pembantu rumah. Dia mengerutkan dahi melihat mereka semua menangis.

Dalam seksaan menahan sakit, si anak yang keletah bersuara dalam linangan air mata berkata...

"Abah... Mama... Ita tak buat lagi. Ita tak mau ayah pukul. Ita tak mau jahat. Ita sayang abah... sayang mama." katanya berulang kali membuatkan si ibu gagal menahan rasa.

"Ita juga sayang Kak Narti.." katanya memandang wajah pembantu rumah, sekaligus membuatkan gadis dari Surabaya itu meraung seperti histeria.

"Abah.. bagilah balik tangan Ita. Buat apa ambil.. Ita janji tak buat lagi! Ita nak makan macam mana? Nak main macam mana? Ita janji tak conteng kereta lagi," katanya bertalu-talu.

Bagaikan gugur jantung si ibu mendengar kata-kata anaknya. Meraung dia sekuat hati namun takdir yang sudah terjadi, tiada manusia dapat menahannya.

P/S :-
Jadikanlah cerita ini sebagai renungan kita bersama... Anak adalah kurniaan Tuhan. Hargailah anak anda... Bersyukurlah anda dikurniakan anak olah Tuhan... Bagi yang masih belum mempunyai anak, mereka ini amat menghargai kanak-kanak. .. Bagi anda yang mempunyai anak, curahkanlah kasih anda sepenuhnya kepada mereka...

I know, my blog have been such a heartache since I don't update as much as I used to.
It's been over a month since I last updated this page.

I have not been very busy, but I think laziness have taken a toll on me.. Very much indeed.

Nothing major has happened - I still am unemployed, along with a large number of my classmates. I am waiting patiently for an interview call, but I'm scared that my patience will reach its limit.
My last interview was with Schlumberger, and I have to wait for the answer in June, I guess. Some others got the same answer. I don't see it as rejection, but something that I have to wait for. All the best.

Besides that, I recently send in my application to MOC, for a part-time work, and when I didn't get out of the car, a friend came up to me and said "Sallehin said how to work if you don't come out.", and Sallehin is another friend, and the CEO of the MOC company. Hehe

I will sending in my application to several companies tomorrow. I know I should have send them in earlier but like I said, I am lazy. lol

Anyways, I went to Labuan late last month with Athari. Our main purpose was to send my cousin, who stayed with us since we came back from Kuala Penyu, back. His dad was waiting for him there. That was Athari's first time of going to Labuan. It was a very hot day, and we walked along the rows of shops in town. It was fun, and interesting since there were some shops that I have never been to. Then, we took a taxi to the financial centre. I guess that's like the main mall there. We had lunch in Pizza Hut and spend the rest of the time before going back to Brunei by shopping. There were some interesting stuffs on sale there. If we had more time, we would have gone to the Bird Park and some other tourist sightseeing places.

The book fair was officially opened the day I went to Labuan. We went there after we had a jogging session after the trip. It was held at the indoor stadium. There were many books on sale, obviously, and I was tempted. I got this book at the T A Morgan booth. It's original price was $150+ and I bought it for $20. Title of the book is 'Essential Fibre Optics'. Haha

I went to the book fair again two days after that with my brother, Nicky. I got 4 recipe books there. Just last month, I bought 2 recipe books. I think I am addicted to cooking back since I spent so much time at home. I have been trying on many new recipes, and desserts. But, my desserts never turn out to be a success. just now, I tried making bread pudding. It looked tempting, but it didn't taste as good as it looked. Hehe. I think I don't have the knack for making good desserts, but I do make good main dishes. Hehe.

I've always wanted to make a potluck thingy with my classmates. I just saw what Chiemz wrote in my shoutbox. It is an event which is hard to be implemented. The main idea was that everyone will be bringing a dish, made by themselves, to a gathering. And, we share our food with each other. I wish this can be organized. What do you say, Chiemz? Hehe

Also, dinner for our lecturers. Guys, we should make one for our lecturers, somewhere nice. I am thinking iLotus. Early April would be nice, after we get our allowances. OK tak? I see nobody have started making this preparations, so I am just trying to get some ideas here =)

Convocation will be in May 2009. I heard it's either 9th May or 16th May. If it's 9th May, it's gonna be a day after my birthday *winkz*. Haha. Have you guys gotten your robes and outfits ready? I have, and I've tried on the tudung - man, do I look weird! Hehe. I've gotten my materials for the baju kurung and the evening dinner thingy also. The materials costed alot, thanks mummy =)

What else..

OH!!!!!

Boys Over Flowers - I am so addicted to this Korean drama series. I first watched it on KBS Channel 303, but since it's playing only twice a week, and I so cannot wait, so I've gotten my lil brother to download the series, since he is a Korean drama addict too. I've watched up to episode 17 now, while the one playing in the Tv is episode 8. It's so touching, and I cried so many times while watching the drama.

Boys Over Flowers is a Korean version of Meteor Garden (Taiwan) and Hana Yori Dango (Japanese). I am head over heels over Lee Min Ho and Kim Bum.. Gosh.... But I still love you baby =) Gila ehh....

Cast of Boys Over Flowers

Goo Hye Sun

Lee Min Ho

Kim Hyun Joong

Kim Bum

Kim Joon

And since I am ion the Boys Over Flowers mood, I have been watching Meteor Garden 1 and Meteor Garden 2 on random modes. To refresh my memory on how the story went.

I might be going to Kuala Penyu end of this month, since there is going to be a 'sembahyang kubur' or something like that, to commemorate my grandfather. It's a Buddhish thingy, I think. I have never beento such events, so plans to this year.

I also recently found out that my sister's bestfriend, Firah, is actually Athari's aunty. Maya saw his mum in an event in Firah's house, and found out that Firah is first cousins with Athari's mum. What a small world. I basically have known Firah since she was young. Hehe.. Shocked me, though!

And and... Radi and I went to school last week to check on our ITU essay progress. We found out 3 essays were submitted, 2 by Radi and I , and 1 by a CIS student. What we don't know, is that if that person is a male or a female. If it's a female, then I will be competing with her, and Radi will surely go to Geneva. If, on the other hand, the person is a male, then I will be making my way to Switzerland in October, and Radi will have to compete with that student. All the best to us! Yattaaa!

And, I hate it that the 3-years degree programme that I applied for have been changed into a 4-years programme! Gosh...

Also, I would to congratulate my friends - Uncle Sanul, Sazali and Uncle Kunyanyang on the establishment of Photwho. Aku mau camera baru~

Tomorrow is the 21st monthsary of Athari and I. I love you baby. Always & Forever.
Hope we will be able to have lunch before he starts working tomorrow afternoon.

I hope I will have the strength to continue posting blogs after this, I am lazy! Gosh!
I need to sleep now, since I sleep early nowadays =)

God bless my family, frineds, my baby and I.
Amen.

I love you sayang~

To All The Wanita Out There =)

2009-02-09T09:59:00.001+08:00

To all the ladies out there...
I find this song quite true and nice.
Gentlemen, treat your ladies well...
Apakn... Haha

Ada Band - Karena Wanita (Ingin Dimengerti)

Lekuk indah hadirkan pesona
Kemuliaan bagi yang memandang
Setiamu simbol keanggunan
khas perawan yang... kau miliki

Akulah pengagum ragamu
Tak ingin kumenyakitimu
Lindungi dari sengat dunia yang mengancam...
nodai... sucinya lahirmu

Karena wanita ingin dimengerti
Lewat tutur lembut dan laku agung
Karena wanita ingin dimengerti
Manjakan dia... dengan kasih sayang

Ingin kuajak engkau menari
Bermandi hangat cahaya bulan
Sebagai tanda kebahagiaan
Bagi semesta cinta kita

Karena wanita ingin dimengerti
Lewat tutur lembut dan laku agung
Karena wanita ingin dimengerti
Manjakan dia... dengan kasih sayang

Bintang terang itulah dirimu
Janganlah redup dan mati
Aku dibelakangmu memeluk dan menjagamu

Karena wanita ingin dimengerti
Lewat tutur lembut dan laku agung
Karena wanita ingin dimengerti
Manjakan dia... dengan kasih sayang

Karena wanita ingin dimengerti
Lewat tutur lembut dan laku agung
Karena wanita ingin dimengerti
Manjakan dia... dengan kasih sayang

Baby, I Love You

Wait.. It's not Chinese New Year's Eve.. Apaler...
Tomorrow is Chinese New Year's Eve... Hmmm

Anyways, there is a change of plan.
Caleb is joining us on our trip tomorrow, along with my brother and sister-in-law.
And of course, my mum, and Maya probably (she's sick).

I haven't pack my stuffs, I will be doing it last minute and ends up leaving something behind. I hope I can get some Internet connection somewhere there.

I am so tired from the whole day's work, but money don;t come easy.. Hehe..

I met my baby in the afternoon for a bout 45 minutes. He came to KB to see me (lovely) and get something from the in-charge person to get something. Athari and I spent the time talking; me reminding him to be careful always, me telling him I love him, him telling me he loves me back, him telling me to be careful too, and to remember him always. I love you baby.

I am so sorry to Uncle Sanul for missing his birthday party. I hope you had a great time.

I am going to sign off soon. It's raining here in KB, I hope all will be well, no flooding and all.

Anyways, Happy Chinese New Year. Gong Xi Fa Chai.

God bless my family, friends, my baby and I.
Amen.

Sorrow :(

2009-01-24T11:16:00.002+08:00

Chinese New Year's Eve

2009-01-24T09:21:00.003+08:00

Good Morning everyone!

It's Chinese New Year Eve!!!

Firstly, I want to wish all my Chinese friends and relatives a prosperous

GONG XI FA CHAI

ANGPAU ANGPAU

I will be going to KK tomorrow. So, I won't be able to wish people a Happy Chinese New Year then. I hope the queue will not be so so long, but I think it will be. Maya, mummy and I will be going to KK by land tomorrow. Nicky went yesterday with Uncle Jimmy via Labuan. Caleb can't join us last minute because my sister-in-law has to work; her leave was not approved. Bad boos! I so really want Caleb to join us... I miss him.

Anyways, I am a very busy woman since yesterday. After the long day at Schlumberger, I did many things in the evening. Today, my mum and I will have to cook for an event. People ordered food from us (catering). SO, last night I have been peeling potato skins and cutting them, peeling onions, which made me cry abit, cutting vegetables, and many more. The food is for about 200 people, so imagine how much work can two pairs of hands do?! Well, finding money is never easy, so I have to work to get money, right...

I woke up early just now, blendering the onions, garlic, ginger, and cleaning the chinese mushrooms, and cooking the fish fillet - 10kg! I will continue after this short post =)

The event is at night, so I won't be able to attend Uncle Sanul's Costume Birthday party. It was actually yesterday, but since electricity was cut off there, it was postponed to today. I am not sure if the power was up yet.

Anyways, it has been raining in Brunei lately, and it has affected Bruneians bad. We were never prepared for all the floods and power failures, and it caught us suddenly. I think we should be prepared for natural disasters such as this flood issue. There should be a government or private body who should deal with this unfortunate events. I hope the rain will not continue to shower at us to the extend of causing flood. So far, I think 2 deaths related to the flood has occured. May their souls rest in peace. Amen.

I am missing my man so much =(
Love you Athari..

Anyways, I have to go right now.
I wish everyone enjoy the holidays, and be merry.

God bless my family, friends, my baby and I.
Amen.

Much love,
Yani

A Day At Schlumberger

2009-01-23T17:07:00.002+08:00

I spent the day at Schlumberger in Panaga area today.

Radi and Asri was supposed to pick me up in the morning but they can't find my house. So, my mum sent me to them. They were waiting at the mosque in Kpg Pandan.

Anyways, we went to Schlumberger after that. It is located somewhere behind the Panaga Fire Station. We were not late, which was good, but there were many people already.

So, we sat for a written test. A 90 questions paper, for a duration of 2 hours. Questions were based on a comprehension about oil and gas, English, Mathematics, Mechanics, Physics, General & Drawing. Some questions were very easy, especially the English section & the General questions. But, the others suck big time. I had a tough time, and so did other people. 2 hours were not enough for us too! Asri, Radi, Chad and I were seated at the same table.

Then, we had a briefing on Schlumberger by the recruiting manager. He is a Chinese man who have worked for the company for 6 and a half years. He has been to so many countries, so it was interesting.

Basically, Schlumberger is the top and number 1 oil services provider in the world, followed by Halliburton, Baker Hughes and Weatherford. So, if I do get employed by the company, I would be a field engineer, or not... Hehe..

After the briefing, we waited at the lobby for the results of our written test. Only shortlisted candidates will be going to the next stage. I was nervous. So when the first sheet of paper containing some of the names of the shortlisted candidates were pasted on the door, I was glad that my name was in it. Fortunately, all of us were shortlisted candidates. There were others too, such as Yong Ming Soon, Ho Chang Jie, Vincent Chong, Bong Soon Yee & Chad. All 8 of us from CC were shortlisted.

Then, we had lunch at the company kitchen area. It was nice. Then Radi sent me home, and they went to the Pandan Mosque for the Friday prayers. They met with my baby there. Athari has work at 2 pm just now.

Close to 1.30pm, Radi picked me up again, and went to Schlumberger. We were late, and the recruiting manager was kind of pissed, I guess. But, we have our reasons.

So, the afternoon session - we have to be grouped - Radi, Asri, Arfian, Amarul and I were in Group 7. Since we were late, we only have 1 minute to read the instructions. We were to build a platform that can support 8 golf balls, out of A4 sheets of paper. Our structure should be at least 150 cm minimum, and the base of the platform to the ground should be at least 100 cm. We were only given cellotape and scissors. No usage of rulers, or calculators were allowed. We had 15 minutes to design out structure. So, we settled for a structure with four pillars supporting a triangular platform. And, we settled for 50 sheets of paper.

So, our design were taken by the recruiting manager, and our 10 minutes were deducted from 30 minutes to implement the structure, because we forgot to write our group number, team members and how much paper we wanted. Cruel but professional.

So, we rushed to do our structure in 20 minutes. Radi and I did the platform. Asri, Arfian and Amarul did the poles. During the last 2 minutes, our tape kind of got stucked, which really really really sucked, because we can't finish our structure. Time was up and we have 4 individual poles lying on the table.

After that, each group have to do a presentation in front. Successful teams had to measure the heights and place golf balls in their platform. Our group were the last. I was the one who presented on behalf of my group. It was scary since the recruiting manager along with engineers asked about our failure, what we could do to make our project a success, and so on.. We got 'shoot' with many questions which were had to answer.

Anyways, I had a good time. It was interesting. The results will be in 2 weeks, and successful candidates will be interviewed at that time.

Gotta go sleep now.. Tired~

Baby, I miss you =)

God bless my family, friends, my baby and I.
Amen.

A Very Long Post!!!!

2009-01-17T21:35:00.011+08:00

This is going to be very, very long.

I last posted about 24 days ago - last year!

I have been a little busy at the end of last year, and have been a little lazy too. If I am not blogging now, I don't think I shall ever blog after this.. Haha

I cannot type down all the daily happenings of what happened since Christmas Eve 2008..
It's 9.38 pm of 17/01, and we'll see when I finish typing all these!

Christmas was wonderful. The crowd that came were lesser than the previous years. I see it as such due to the more private lives of individuals, and hectic schedules, etc...

1st day of Christmas - relatives from dad's side (mostly) and some from mum's side came. Church parishioners, Helbe's and Valen's friends, Maya's friends and some of mine came too. I think only Kaka Indah represented the Intake 21 community, though I expected more to come. ME peeps - Rina, Izzah, Mamat with newly-introduced friends of mine, Liyana and Feefy. Liyana is Mamat's gf and Feefy is Atfan's. Feefy is also Radi's cousin.
My CHMS mates that came were Benjamin, Shahril and Pheng Seng only. Foo Foo and Chin Theng were in KB but they did not manage to have time to come to my house. CYY was on the way home from KK that very night, so I assume she was tired, and told her it was O if she missed my open house.
Azrinna came a little late with Adi, her soon-to-be fiance, her sister, Dorothy, and another male friend. Azrinna and I had a long chat about our current life and what has been happening that I don't know of =)
Kaka Indah gave me a chocolate mirror, which I mistakenly thought was a real chocolate bar. Azrinna gave me a Victoria Secret's body lotion, the ME peeps gave me different types of cakes while the CHMS crew gave me a box of Ferrero Rocher.

Ferrero Rocher By Benjy, Shahril & Pheng Seng

2nd day of Christmas - no visitors, since we kind of had a 'closed house' thingy! Helbe had an open house at his new crib in Bengkurong. The whole family went there around 4pm from KB. Fr. Arin was there for the house blessing ceremony, and we had a nice fellowship. Nicky, Maya and I went out to Hua Ho Bunut to check the place out and we went to Giant too. We came back at around 11 pm to Helbe's house to pick up my parents and went back to KB afterwards.

3rd day of Christmas - My ECE 22 friends came that night. We had a wonderful time, laughing, talking, taking photos, watching Saturday Night Live and Titanic. Didi and I burst into tears! Athari gave me a nicely written card which I treasure so much, and an Anna Sui perfume, Flight of Fancy. He also gave me a teddy bear! Radi gave me a Me-To-You bear wearing a santa's hat. I think it's a bigger version of the exact bear that he gave me last 2 Christmases.

Thank you Baby =)

From Radi. Thanks

Most of the days after that, I spent my time at home, being a good girl that I am =p

New Year's Eve - Spent it with my baby. We had Japanese food for dinner, and we watched a movie in the cinema, which I kind of forgot already what it was. Haha.. I spent the times after the movie roaming the city and waited for the fireworks. But eventually, I got sleepy and tired so we went back around 11-ish and spent the final moments of 2008 on the road. After sending my baby back, I drove back alone to KB. There were still many cars on the road, despite the time. I got stucked in the Lumut highway where it meets the Seria highway. There was a roadblock going on, and the usual two-lane roads were forced to be an one-lane road, so the jam started. Nothing major, just the normal new year roadblock... Police force looking for people who were driving under the influence of alcoholic drinks, modified cars, traffic violaters. Fortunately, I was not under any of those categories =)

New Year - Happy New Year (Lambat!)

Though it's late, I still want to wish my friends and everyone a HAPPY NEW YEAR 2009!!!
I hope this year will be a more successful and memorable to all of us!
Also, happy belated birthday to Dk Liyana aka Ayang, the 24th candles! All the best.

2nd January - Happy birthday to my baby, Ak Athari.
I spent it with him, the whole day. We went to Miri, looking around, eating, drinking, shopping, observing people. I enjoyed the time with him, it was wonderful. I don't quite remember what I got there. Oh ya! Baby got me this pink Diadora slippers since my feet were painful from the shoes I was wearing. And I bought a purple tee and a black top. Baby got two tops and either 3 or 4 pants. Hehe.. I hope he enjoyed the present I got him =)

White Musk For Men - What I Got My Baby =)

3rd January - Athari and I were supposed to go to Miri for Josline's advanced birthday dinner, but since he got called to work, so he can't attend. Instead, Emily and I went. We went in the afternoon, did some window shopping, ate at McDonald's. Emily and I were talking and laughing so loud while queuing until the uncle in front of us kept giving us annoying glances! haha...
We went to Imperial Hotel to meet up with Josline, Dwan and Ah Choi. We went into their apartment, which has 2 rooms, a kitchen, a toilet and a living room. It was spacious, and on the 19th floor. We went down to have dinner at a nearby restaurant. The food was good. We had fried chicken, chili crab, mixed vege in yam basket, black pepper lamb, tomyam sup, and steamed rice. I was feeling very hot and drank two cans of coke. The guys were having beer, which I can never put into my system. Hehe... At half past 9, Emily and I drove as quickly as we could to reach the border by 10. We were there about 1 minute before 10, and they closed the gate already. We didn't know what to do. I knew Athari would be mad at me, and when I called him to tell the bad news, the voice he potrayed told me enough. We went back to the hotel and wanted to get a room when Josline and the others saw us. They were on the way to clubbing. So, in embarrassment, Emily and I went into their room. I talked more on the phone and then went to bath. I had to use back my clothes that evening since I did not bring anything to change into.
I had more talking with my bby, and I knew that my bill would be soaring high! Slept after that to wake up to the sounds of people coming in from clubbing. Then, they went out to karaoke again, bringing Emily along with them, and leaving me alone in the apartment. Around 4 am, they went back, bringing more friends along. No worries. I slept till morning, and around 6.45 am, Emily and I set back for Brunei and there at the Brunei immigration was my baby waiting for me. I was happy to see him, and he seemed happy to see me. I could have hugged him right there, but many people were looking at us =)

5th Jan - Happy Birthday to my bestfriend, Josline Pang Chui Bee!!!
I know we haven't been spending much time together lately, but I want you to know that I am always here for you if you need me. God bless you!

6th Jan - Happy Birthday to my one and only sister, Maya. You know I love you no matter how bad I can be to you. So forgive me, alum g ku bali heels mu!

The days after that passed by as usual. Me at home, doing nothing, and meeting my bby at alternate days, usually. On the 11th. we celebrated our 19th monthsary. We went to BSB, doing all that we were used to doing... Walking around, and stuffs. I miss him =)

There were a period of time when my phone got barred due to the high bills and I can't text anyone. It was depressing, I can't text Athari, but he could text me. So, it was like I know where he was and what he was doing, but he didn't know where I was or what I was doing. It should have been more depressing on his side, but it was I who felt that way =|

Radi and I will be writing an essay each for the ITU Telecom World 2009. This ITU Telecom World 2009 is an event which happens every 3 years, and this year, it will be held in Geneva, Switzerland on the 5th Oct to 9th Oct. We will be competing against 2 other students from the CIS department. Only a man and a woman will be chosen to represent Brunei in Geneva. I praying that Radi and I will be chosen. Dear friends, please pray for our success.

There are many things that happened again, but I can't seem to type it all down. It is exhausting!

I haven't apply to any place for work, I don't seem to have the determination - I don't know why! I will have to make a progress, though, and I will have to make it soon!

Caleb was with us in KB for about a week or more. Athari and I took him down from BSB. I think he blended well with Athari, they seem to go along well. We took Caleb shopping and jln2. It was tiring looking after him now that he touches everything that he likes! But the joy of taking care of him brings pleasure into our hearts...

Uncle Sanul came one afternoon with his friend ( I don't remember his name!) and Didi, since Sanul can't remember where my house is! Hehe..
He got me a belted Xmas gift, which I like so much. It is kind of a printed tile, with our group photos during Christmas at my house. It really nice, and something to treasure. Thank you Uncle.

I already took my graduation robe and headscarf. Costs a fortune! Well, I just wish we would be using the square shape head thingy that we can throw into the air. Would be nice, but NO.. We don't have them =(

On my many trips up to BSB with mummy (can be considered daily trips!), I ended up buying cloth materials for my convocation ceremony and dinner. For both occasions, I bought French lace. The materials are really beautiful and elegant, might I say. Mummy chose both of them, and I loved it. The one for the convocation ceremony is white in colour, with beautiful designs and beads. The dress I'm going to wear inside would be light cream in colour, made of satin. On the other hand, the one for the dinner would be black lace, with exquisite beading. The satin is maroon in colour, which hopefully, will complement me! Hehe... I am so excited about convocation. Overall, the materials altogether costed an arm and a leg, and it does not include the labour charges for sewing the materials. Hehe... Mummy says it's alright, so I am just following her lead!

I will be going to KK on the 23rd until 30th, I presume. It's for Chinese New Year. This 23rd, I will be driving to KK with my lil sis and lil bro, Maya and Nicky respectively. On the 25th/26th, Helbe, Matet, Caleb and Mummy will follow after us. I think this year's CNY will be happening, since Maya, Nicky and I will be going back to y grandma's house. We haven't been back for about 2 years since we were busy with school. But, we are not finished and have free time, so yeah, back to the roots! I hope there will not be many cars since I hate queuing and my patience is very short when it comes to waiting!

I know this post does not cover for all the missing posts, but this will have to suffice.
I am so tired now...

God bless my family, friends, my baby and I.
Amen.

2008-12-14T23:43:00.003+08:00

Ola..

I have been in KB for the past few days but I lack the 'rajiness' to open up my laptop and blog.

Last Friday, 12/11, I went to BSB with mummy, Nicky and Maya.
Our first stop was mummy's office; we dropped her off and I decided to go to Yayasan since the three of us haven't been there for quite some time. I parked the car at the basement. Then, we walked around, laughed, talked and observed people. There were many people that day. Maybe it was because that day was a holiday, or due to school holiday season or maybe it's the sale. We went to Paul & Elizabeth, a bookstore. We browsed around and Maya spotted this Backstreetboys book. I am a very big fan of the BSB... Haha.. We went into some few shops too, but ended up buying nothing... Hehe...

Then, we walked to Ideal since we were hungry. We used the underground thingy. Nicky haven't used it before. He didn't even know it existed. I've used it once. Maya have used it a couple of times, I assume. Nicky said that alley was one potential spot for anyone to get raped. Haha.. But it is true. The three siblings had fun eating. We laughed alot. They made fun of me. Buleh kah tu? Haha.. We took pictures jua.

Then mummy came to find us, and I drove to Kiarong to show mummy Vivian's house then we went to Gadong to the pasar malam. We bought drinks and food, vegetables and fruits. Next, we stopped by at Giant, shopping for a while and went to Jolibee to take away some food.

Overall, I had a wonderful time with them. I can't stopped talking and Maya can't stopped laughing. Hehe..

On Saturday, 13/11, I woke up early to go to Athari's house to pick up my make-up case. Before that, I went to Supasave Panaga to buy some buns for my baby. I reached his house around 10.30 am and stayed around 15 minutes and went back home. It was raining on the way. The weather that day was rainy on and off.

In the afternoon, I went to church with Mummy, Nicky, Maya and Caleb. Daddy went on his own earlier. It was so tiring looking after Caleb since he was active. But, it's fun.

Sunday, 14/12, I woke up abit late since I was reading a new book 'Twilight' bu Stephanie Meyer. Twilight is an adanced Christmas gift from Maya and Nicky. And yeah, I finished it already. I just started reading it yesterday. Done! Hehe.. it's very interesting. It's in the movies now, but I haven't seen it. I heard it's good, but I bet the book is so much better. I will be critisizing it when I watch the movie. Hehe... Anyways, I just finished cooking spaghetti sauce for tomorrow's barbecue. Hehe. Our class will be having a barbecue in Berakas Recreational Park. I have a feeling it's gonna be good and I will become dark. Haha..

Anyways, I think I want to read the book one more time before I settle for the day. I will be seeing my baby tomrorow. I miss him so much.

Baby, I love you.

God bless my family, friends, my baby and I.
Amen.

Watch - List

2008-12-12T11:46:00.002+08:00

Baby, I want to see:

Twilight

The Day The Earth Stood Still

Hehe..

Can we see at least one of those masa after barbecue this Monday? Hehe..

Anyways...Morning people. Have a nice day!

Much love,
Yani <3

God bless my family, friends, my baby and I.
Amen.

2008-12-12T03:03:00.002+08:00

But, I personally feel that the most important thing to do when life gets tough, when life brings you down or when life doesn't go your way is:

Pray to God so He will help you and guide you. He will always be there for you.

and

Be with the one you love and who loves you back,
such as your family, close friends,
and I shall be with my baby =)

God bless my family, friends, my baby and I.
Amen.

Life Tips

2008-12-12T02:47:00.003+08:00

Some Blueprint For When Life Gets Hard:

- Take one day at a time.

- Treat yourself to things you enjoy, and healthy for you, as much as you can.

- Walk everyday for at least an hour.

- Shower everyday, no matter what.

- Eat healthy food - hold back on the chemicals. They just mess you up worse.

- No alcohol.

- No caffeine or stimulants other than anti-depressants or other prescribed meds or vitamin products. Let a trusted doctor make those medical decisions for you because when you get into a bad place, you make ridiculous decisions about what's good for you. Then you follow their directions.

- No hanging out with people who put you down. Only have contact with people who build you up.

- No watching dramas, murders, scary or bummer movies, which includes no artsy or European films. Watch only comedies. Period. Comedies.

- Get up everyday at a specific time, no matter what.

- If you can't wake up when you get up, go outside and walk until your vision clears and until you can begin smelling things again.

When It Gets Tough

2008-12-12T02:38:00.002+08:00

How To Motivate Yourself When Life Gets Tough:

Life is always going to have its tough moments but if you learn how to handle it then your ready for it and even embrace those difficult life lessons.

01. Know thyself -
Know who you are and what you need in life. Be honest and true to these things.
What you need and deserve are things of great value to you and what you should live your life by.

02. 2 Live a great life -
If you aren't, think about how you could be and start taking steps towards that goal. Ask yourself "Why shouldn't I be living a great life?" & "What is preventing me right now?".

03. Self Esteem -
Self esteem comes from knowing that you matter!
Don't ever forget that.

04. Suffer -
Suffering gives way to great faith and hope.
Without suffering you would never learn how to have strong faith and the hope that there is light at the end of the tunnel so to speak.
Having faith breeds hope inside you!

05. Don't Wait -
What are you waiting for?
Even baby steps are steps in the right direction! Start now!

06. Don't ignore your gut instinct -
God gave it to us for a reason and it is a gift!
Don't turn your back on it no matter how tough it might be to listen to it.
Your gut instinct always steers you in the right direction.
Don't make an excuse why you can't listen to it!

07. Do unto others. There is no excuse out there that gives you the right not to. You will live a better life rising about and not giving into hate and evil.

08. Relax and let yourself grow. Be patient.
You'll learn something new each day if you look for it!

09. Don't be defeated! Never give up!
Don't listen to people who beat you down. Nurture your fighting spirit.

10. Life is not meant to be problem free.
Ask God "What am I supposed to learn from this difficult moment?" and the answers will come! You'll get better at coping if you implement this question into how you react each time.

If Life Gets You Down

2008-12-12T02:33:00.000+08:00

If Life Gets You Down, Remember This:

One of the few perks of going through a period of loss, crisis and/or suffering
is that when you come out the other side
(and nearly everyone does, sooner or later),
you realize that you are a lot stronger than you probably thought you were,
and that strength doesn’t leave you even after the crisis has passed.

Happy Ending

2008-12-12T00:27:00.003+08:00

12/12 - double twelve =)

Anyways, I'm at home in Kaybee.

I had a sucky day yesterday but it all went well because of my baby =)

Morning of 11/12, woke up late around 10-ish. Went online for a while, chatted with Uncle Ali Yusni.

[Yani] : Uncle, kita ke skulah krg ptg?

Aming: Nda, malas ku.

[Yani]: Napa? Bkn moderator kan jumpa kan?

Aming: Hanya org2 tertentu ja.

[Yani]: Owh.. Kalau catu, malas lah ku skulah.

Haha... Heard from Aly, Radi and Sanul jua pasal org2 terpilih ja jumpa moderator. But there was a notice that all of us should be there.. So????

Well, decided not to go to school, wasting my time to go BSB ja.. Haih..
I packed my stuffs and put the into the car, alot of stuffs actually.
Then, I went to Bandar area to go take some stuffs from mummy's office. No parking! I went round and round for almost 10 times, then finally, a parking for me right infront of Brunei Hotel. Then I went up to 5th floor, and went to see Dina (mum's secretary). Then Robert (mum's supervisor aka my nephew) asked me to park at the basement and Dina will bring down the stuffs. OK! Sabar sabar.. So, I went down again and walked to Tamu Kianggeh to buy some stuffs for mami. Then, I went to the car and drove to the basement.

There was a security guard there, so I went up to him...

Me: Selamat petang pakcik.

Pakcik: -No answer-

Me: Blh btanya? Blh ku parking sini sekajap? Inda sampai 10 minit. Ku kan mengambil barang arah AIA.

Pakcik: Inda boleh

Me: Tapi org atas suruh aku parking bawah.

Pakcik: Sapa?

Me: C Robert Chiew. Ia...(kna sampuk)

Pakcik: (menyampuk)...Dorang tu skati2 saja. Mana drg tau apa2 tu. Aku yang kana mara krg.

Me: Bah kalau catu, ku tunggu ja dlm keta ( while swearing in my heart)

So, I waited and waited. Dina was not seen. Rupa-rupanya ia menunggu d ground floor...
Eeeee... geramnya aku!! Sabar sabar...

So, I put the stuffs in the car boot and drove off to Batu1 to pick up Caleb. After picking him up, went to Giant to buy some groceries. Caleb played at the 'playground'. Fun =)

Drove home. While on the way, it rained heavily, and got this stoopid Merc which was so annoying. Pissed me off so I tailgated her all the way. Taste that!

Upon reaching home, found out there was no eletricity in the neighbourhood. So, I waited in vain. Finally, the current was up and I rushed to shower since Athari was picking me up for dinner.

Met my baby. Had a wonderful time with him..
Baby, no matter what happens, and where we are, I am happy as long as I am with you =)
I love you..

And dear, please eat your meds. Hearts you <3

A happy ending. Happy 18 mths dear..

God bless my family, friends, my baby and I.
Amen.

Happy 18th Months Baby!

2008-12-11T11:06:00.001+08:00

Dearest Athari..
Happy 18th months syg.. I love you so much..

See you later bby <3

I just woke up after too much snoozing by the phone, and constant knocking from my mum asking "Ko bangun sudah?" and "Ko jadi ke bandar kah?".. And I answered "Awu, sudah!" and "Krg ptg pun blh hantar borang wah!", and I went back to sleep. Haha... Typical me...

Anyways, I will be going to BSB later to submit my TMD form, if ever I get to finish it up and know what I am applying for. I so do not know. Nevertheless, I will still go up since I will be visiting Emily in Kiarong later. She's at Vivian's place. I wanna see lil' Eugenia =)

Yesterday, 09/12, I went to Miri in the afternoon with my baby. Not many cars going to Miri and back from Miri, so we need not queue so much. Lovely!

First off, we went to Imperial since Athari wanted to get a spectacle. He did - a plastic rimmed, in black, simple and nice. Now our spectacles match! Hehe.. While waiting for his specs to get done, we went strolling the shops there, going in and out of various shops, namely sports shops, shoes shops, CD shops, and of course the main Boulevard shopping centre. Anyways, I got this antique bargain.. Haha.. I bought a cassette. 'TLC - Fanmail'. Lawa yo. It was just RM3.90, so I just grabbed it and listened to it in the car. Haha... Also, I got this Mystic Black contact lenses. It is cheaper there in Miri, RM45 for three months. Generally, compared to any other places I know, contact lenses in Miri is the cheapest, and it's good. Then I bought this DVD from 'Speedy', titled 'The Greatest Story Ever'. I think it's about Jesus. I haven't watch it. Next, I went to Sugarbun to buy fries and bby went to buy cappucino ice cream from the ice cream booth. I ate his cone. Haha..

After picking up his glasses, we went back to the car and went to Bintang Plaza. My first stop was 'Popular' bookstore. I bought 'Cleo' and 'her world' magazines, and I was happy. Then we walked around the plaza, went to Bata where I found this nice footwear but baby said it was very sharp at the front. It was, indeed. Hehe... Then, we went to McDonalds. Hungry~ I had a Fish-o-Fillet and he had Spicy Chicken McDeluxe Burger and McChicken Burger. Yes, he had 2 - normal =) Our fries were the McShaker Fries, which I usually finished up. We had a wonderful time. After McD, we went to Watson but it was undergoing renovation, so we went to Guardians. I couldn't buy what I wanted since the moneychangers were closed, so I did not buy anything there. Then, we went to Starbucks. Yeay! I love it! The staff was friendly, as usual. I ordered Chocolate Raspberry Mocha Frapuccino and Athari ordered Toffee Nut Crunch Frapuccino. Both were nice, but sweet. We sat down for a while, reading mags and drinking our fraps. We went back when our drinks were half-finished. Hehe.. Will get back there soon =)

Then, our last stop - Boulevard. The money changer was opened so I changed some money, and bought a footwear! Yeay! It's for Christmas but I so feel like wearing it later. We'll see.. Hehe... Baby bought a game for his XBox 360 and a PC game for me... Hehe... Then, after going to the pharmacy to get meds for my bby, we went back to Brunei. I drove since he had a headache. Kesian.

Home - talked with mummy for a while, showered, fell asleep after some texting with baby. Tired to the bone.. Hehe

Anyways, yesterday I missed an event in church. Deacon Arin became a priest, something I should not miss, though, but I planned the Miri trip early. It's sad, though, that I did not come. I will have him in my prayers. I heard the Seria church was full, packed. Congratulations!

Anyways, take care people.

Baby, thank you for the wonderful day yesterday. I love you <3

Is it mating season?

With a physical so small, they can make sounds that can wake up the entire street.

07/12

I had a fun-filled tiring day yesterday, 07/12.

Firstly, I have to apologize to my Uncle Sam for not attending his wedding. Something happened that prevailed me from going up to BSB. I am really really sorry from the bottom of my heart =(

Next, I kind of make-over my room. I did not want my bed and planned to put the mattress on the floor so I disassemble the bed frame, screwdrivers and all out, carried the frame to my brother's room and assembled it back. Then my mum said I will regret it, so I had a change of mind and disassemble the bed frame and assembled it back in my room. How tiring and stupid was I? And I had to carry the heavy mattresses in and out. Felt like my spine was going to break.

I had spaghetti for breakfast, crackers for lunch, and rice with tomyam beef soup and red sauce tiger prawn for dinner. Also had fried kueh tiaw from Moi Nam for late supper.

Anyways, I went out with mummy for a while just now and she asked me to send her to Aunty Aby's house because she wanted to perm her hair. Guess what?! I ended up having my hair rebonded. Now it's straight and I can't wash it for 3 days! Yuck! I was feeling abit bored there, sitting for 4 hours. It's not very flat, just the way I like it, so I'm loving it.

Rambutku cali~

I'm abit sleepy now. Later in the afternoon, I'll be going to Miri with my baby. I can't wait dear...
I miss you. And I <3>

Oh! Happy Hari Raya Aidiladha to all Muslims...

I'll be going to sleep soon...

God bless my family, friends, my baby and I.
Amen.

The Nanny

Know people, I am addicted to 'The Nanny' show.
It's all because of my friend's influence. Haha..
I remembered I used to watch the show when I was a little kid.
It's all coming back to me now... Haha...

Well, I was going though the local advertisement this morning and I saw this ad titled:

'LIVE IN NANNY NEEDED / EARN 850 POUNDS PER WEEK'

AM SEEKING A LIVE IN NANNY NEEDED TO COME AND WORK FOR ME IN THE UNITED KINGDOM, SHE MUST BE READY TO TAKE GOOD CARE OF MY 2 LOVELY KIDS, SALARY IS 850 POUNDS STERLING PER WEEK WITH FREE ACCOMMODATION, SHE MUST HAVE AN INTERNATIONAL PASSPORT, PLEASE IF INTERESTED CONTACT ME THROUGH : XXXXXXXX@ROCKETMAIL.COM

The e-mail is censored for confidential purposes.
Anyways, 850 pounds per week, which means 3400 pounds per month, which is more than $6000 our money. Gosh, jadi nanny saja ku. That's alot of money.

God bless my family, friends, my baby and I.
Amen.
