Rush Hour 3

Thursday, September 6, 2007
Finally, I managed to catch this movie - Rush Hour 3. I heard so many good reviews about it that I wanted to watch it but always didn't have the time until last Monday. I was having my off day, so I dragged my 2 brothers to the Mall in the afternoon to watch the movie. Actuallynya I'm planning to watch the Bourne Ultimate but my 2 brothers made not-so-interested-faces that I gave up on that movie and settled for the Rush Hour 3.

It was quiet empty - well, excuse the words. Mall shouldn't be described as quiet empty! - well, quiet quiet at the Mall that Monday afternoon. I arrived there around 2.30pm, bought my tickets, pop corns, drink; sat there while waiting for the 3pm show munching on the pop corn and watched all the movie previews that they were playing. In the cinema itself, there were only like 20+ of us watching the movie.

Jackie Chan with Chris Tucker is what I would say a good duo. They make the movies - Rush Hour 1, Rush Hour 2 and Rush Hour 3 more 'lively' combined with packs of actions. I didn't realise how old Jackie Chan has come. Only come to realise it in this movie, with upclose shots and big screen, you can see the wrinkles and how is he aging. Anyone knows how old he is?? I honestly have no idea. Infact, if you ast me how old certain actors or actresses are, I honestly can't give you the correct answer, approx answer maybe, but I don't think I can answer correctly. It's not that I'm not a big fan of these people but somehow I just couldn't be bother to know how old they are.

Anyway, yea, Jackie Chan looks older in this movie but his stunts never cease to amaze me. Chris Tucker, man! what can you say about him? He certainly can make any day filled with laughter.....

Fireworks

No, no fireworks are in sight anywhere. I'm talking about the latest Korean TV Dramas that's I'm watching - Fireworks. I just bought it earlier this week coz it's been quiet sometimes I didn't watch any Korean TV Dramas.

Fireworks is a story about 'square' love..haha..people always give the term 'triangle' love that involves 2 women and a man and vice versa so now it involves 2 women and 2 men, so I called it 'square' love.

Na Ra is coming-to-be-a-spinster 30 years old lady who had a boyfriend, Seoung Woo for the last 7 years. They studied together and when Na Ra failed to pass her exam, she concentrate on helping her boyfriend to pass; meaning she got a partime job just to support her bf. Until 1 day, Seoung Woo admits on having an affair while he was away in US. Na Ra got mad and with this and that, they broke up. But Na Ra determined to get him back.

Seoung Woo's lover, Mi Rae is a successful lady, a shop to manage but lost her fiancee to an accident. She is secretly in love with the fiancee brother's, In Jae (yikes!!! tricky). Anyway, fate has it that Na Ra met In Jae, become best friend (that leads to love), both of them working at Mi Rae's shop and let's just say that things got complicated. I also dunno how to story you guys.
For the first few episodes of this drama, I was so frustrated with Na Ra. I mean, just because of her love to Seoung Woo, she was willing to stoop so low to get him back. Come on la, if a guy doesn't want you anymore, no matter how much you love him, what's the use? What's the need to lose your dignity just for a guy?? Let him go. That is what so frustrating about the starting of the drama. But as the story goes, I'm proud of Na Ra and dislike more of Mi Rae. She thinks that she can have everything and urrrggghhhh...


I know it's just a stupid drama but still, there are some lessons that can be learnt from all these, don't you think? Well, I do....

Comedian In The Family

Monday, September 3, 2007
Our family comedian I had to say have to be my youngest brother, Muiz. He will be coming 15 years old this year and somehow, when you are around him, there is something about him, what he says, what he does thats sounds and looks funny.

It's not that he did it in purpose but somehow, it's just his nature...gauk? yea! I had to say he is! But you can't blame him. Being the youngest and being pampared and all.

I remembered when we went to Genting Highland and we were waiting for this que for a boat ride. He was sitting in a railing (coz the que was that long) and somehow (I also dunno how), he slipped from the railing and fell. But he managed to hang on the rail and he looked like a spiderman doing some action. I was a bit panik at that moment coz I'm afraid he hit the cement but he was okay and was laughing somemore. The Malaysian guy behind us said, "Eh! Nak jadi hero ke dik?" haha..

I can't forget that event no matter how funny he acts most of the times! I had to say that he always brighten my day whenever I feel low but sometimes I couldn't help but to snap at him for his sometimes-irritating-and-annoying behaviour but I love him nonetheless....

Full Weekend

It's consider a full weekend for me and my family. My cousin is getting married - well, married now, I guess and now, I'm here doing my extended duty. I'm quiet tired actuallynya but I got no choice but to work.

Last night we had the berbedak ceremony. I came quiet late coz that afternoon I had to rush to RIPAS to attend a suprise exam. When I came home, it's about tme to break my fast. I didn't manage to take any picture of the bride and the berbedak thingy coz my camera and my hp was with my brother and I couldn't find him anywhere. I only managed to take some pictures of my cute-cute cousins as we were sitting on the porch; me watching my aunt karoake-ing while waiting the 'right time' to go home.

I dragged my brothers home around 10.45pm and after this and that, I hit the bed. This morning, I woke up a bit late - well, not a bit, it was way to late! My cousin's nikah was at 10am and I only arrived around 11am! Guilty as charged!

The wedding went very smoothly, the weather is not that hot, not that dry but it was a bit drizzling just now. The groom arrived around 1.15pm and after few photo session - I didn't take any with the newlywed - I zoomed off home. I only managed to take my stuffs for my duty, changed my tudong then I went for my duty.

Suprise Exam

It had been a long time I didn't have any of those - suprise exam.I mean, are you kidding me? The last time I remember was when I was in my college years and man! how many long years ago was that. I thought entering a career life means no more suprise exams and all. It's like we are back to school. Anyway, we had a notice from RIPAS last Thursday saying that we had to attend a compulsary CPE on Saturday at 5pm.

So, afterwork yesterday, I went to RIPAS and when I arrived, everyone was settling down already with a pen and a calculator ready. I was asked to sign my attendance, given a test paper and take a seat.

We were given 30 minutes to answer all the MCQ and I managed to do it in half the time given - 15 minutes. I did doublechecking twice before I hand in my paper and rush out of the exam room. A supervisor asked me why I'm in a rush (coz I didn't stay for the refreshment), and I said that I'm fasting and I had a family function to attend to.

"What Do You Really Want?"

Friday, August 31, 2007
No, it's not for my upcoming birthday or anything - btw, my birthday is in October *wink*wink*. It's a question by a male friend of mine, asking me what do I look in a guy?

We chatted thru' the MSN 2 nights ago and I told him that there is this guy who fancy me but somehow I just can't aceept him more than friend. He asked me whether the guy is goodlooking and I said yes. Does he has a job? And the answer is yes. Is he good, nice? And the answer is also yes. Then he asked me, "Then what do you really want in a guy?"

Honestly, I don't know what I want in a guy.And obviously this guy (who fancied me) willing to wait for years for me to openup my heart to him but somehow I don't have that feeling for him. I think I will know once I have him....once I know how to fall in love....

Fruit Season

Everywhere I go, I would see some people selling some local fruits, the favourite is the durian(s?). I'm not a big fan of durian mainly because I couldn't stand the smell. Durian, I'm sure that most of your guys out there know has a very strong, sticky smell. But it's everyone favourite because of the taste. I had to admit it had a very rare taste and I only will eat once in every fruit season...not everytime!

My favourite local fruit have to be the rambutan. And on my way home today, I saw 2 vendors selling the rambutan by the sides of the road. Didn't stop by though coz I don't feel like eating it. Furthermore, I tend to keep 'healthy' for the upcoming Ramadhan, InsyaAllah.

Pre Fasting

I managed to complete my fasting yesterday. Well, my first day actuallynya. It's part of paying my last year's debt. And with 2 more weeks going for Ramadhan, InsyaAllah, I think I can complete the whole debt....

It was quiet ok, actuallynya. I woke up for sahur around 4.15am and had my subuh prayer; ironed some of my clothes and by the time I'm done, it's time to go to work. It was quiet buzy at work that I got no time to think about my tummy. Lunchhour, I fetched my brothers from school, had my prayer then head back to work. By the time I'm back home around 5pm, had my shower, my prayer and it's time to break fast already! See, time just fly by when you don't think about it....I think I'm ready for Ramadhan..InsyaAllah

So Long....

Wednesday, August 29, 2007
September is coming in just few days and followed by the Ramadhan. A colleague asked me this afternoon what I had achieved in a year; from last Ramadhan up till this coming Ramadhan?

Funny how people always ask that question for every new year but no one ever asked me what had I achieved in a year from Ramadhan to Ramadhan. It took me a while to answer him 'coz I never thought that I need to answer that question so soon (I was planning to answer that question when the new year comes!).

So, what had any of you had achieved? Everything great, I hope! What had I achieved? I was heartbroken before and earlier this year, I promised myself that I will 'get rid' of him, move on with my life and just be who I am. And Alhamdulilah, so far, I managed to keep my distance from him and I rarely think about him ('coz my work and other things keep me occupied). I shall say that's one of my achievements considering that this guy broke my heart that most of the times I said to myself that I will never love again, won't be able to love again. But Alhamdulillah, I get up, move on and here I am, still NOT in love, no more tears and content...not happy, not sad but just okay!

Other achievements? There are some but nothing major that gives an impact to my life as the one I mentioned above but InsyaAllah, I will jotted it down...

So long August...it's been an experience. September, bring your best...

Weekend's post

It's Raining was supposed to be posted last Sunday but somehow I got a problem with my internet connection and only now I managed to log in again, so there it goes....

It's Raining...

My prediction was right. It was raining today hence we have a rainy weekend in Brunei. When I woke up this morning for my oncall duty, the sun was shining and I was hoping for a clear, sunny day. But when I came home around 1am, it was starting to drizzle and heavy downpour follows soon after that and it's still drizzling at the moment.

I hope next Sunday it won't be raining nor hot either..hehe..demanding lagi tu! But I have a reason. My cousin is getting married next weekend and me, as a relative automatically listed as the penyambut tetamu and I don't fancy myself standing under the hot weather once again...hmmm....

And InsyaAllah, I will start my fasting this Wednesday. I planned to do this week but as I was 'onleave' so I guess I will start this Wednesday..

What else? Oh yea, speaking of my cuz's wedding, that reminds me that I need to fetch my dress from my tailor. The whole family planning on the same kain already and speaking of the wedding, I will be working too that day, from 2pm till 9pm! I know!! It happened yesterday, the September roaster just came out and guess what, I was listed to be working on the 16th September and it's already fasting month somemore!!! By lunchtime, a colleague of mine called me up and asked whether I am willing to exchange my duty with his - his will be on the 2nd September! Me, being me, just want to escape the fasting month duty, readily agreed without remembering that it's my cousin's wedding!!! I know!!! I am a very terrible cousin! Cousin sendiri kawin pun nda ingat...hmmm. So, 1st thing I wanna do tomorrow is check the roaster again and see who's working this Friday. But then my cousin's nikah is this Friday..hmm..payah eh! Either I don't come during the nikah (erkz!) or I leave early during the bersanding (erkz! too). How ah?! My aunt ani pun di call how many times nda pandai berjawab.....

Cambodia

Saturday, August 25, 2007
I bought this Insight Guide - Laos and Cambodia while I was in KL. Coz I'm planning to go to Cambodia for my next vacation. Don't know when it will be but I'm planning for next year, InsyaAllah! And only now I managed to read that book...

After reading the novel Bunga Bunga Kemboja by Aina Emir, I memorized some of the places from the novel. The place that I remembered most from the novel is The Killing Field and from the Insight Guide, I read all the details about the Killing Field.

When I read the Bunga Bunga Kemboja novel,the writer, Aina Emir wrote the details of the place that I felt that I was there, at The Killing Field in Cambodia. Somehow I can see the lost of nearly 2-3 millions Cambodians. Can you imagine?! 3 millions Cambodians? If it's in Brunei (nauzubillah...), it will definitly wipe the whole population of Brunei. Some part of me doesn't want to go there coz then I will be seeing the millions death of innocent people (which is not something to look forward to) but some part of me desperatly want to visit and tour the one and nearest wonders of the world - The Angkor!

Rainy Weekend (?)

I washed my car yesterday and today, it is rainig. From lunchhour till the time for me to go home. And man, the road home is so hectic. I thought it was because of the rain but once I approached the Kiulap roundabout, laaa...rupa-rupanya ada accident. No wonder it was jammed.

Tomorrow is my last day of oncall. Yup! I'm working on the weekend too..what to do? But on Monday, I will be back to my usual workplace! Hopefully nda ramai patients as payday is approaching and everyone has better things to do rather than going to the clinics....but I bet there are some will come and ask for MC to do some shopping..hehehe

Time Wait for No One!!!

Thursday, August 23, 2007
It's something that everyone knows that time will never wait for anyone, no matter who you are, where you are and what you are!

For me, I am that type of person like to take things easy - well, apart from my work! I NEVER take my work easy 'coz I am part of the team that deals with other people's lives, so I never take my work easy. I guess because I am so strict with myself about work that I like to take other things for granted!

Everytime there are another errands or tasks need to be done, I would say to myself, "Relax...relax". And that's exactly what I would do. Tasks that has no deadlines, I would take it easy but I ALWAYS finished it eventually, just a matter of when. It's kindda a bad habit actually but somehow I don't know what to do. I don't want to be so serious about life that everything have to be done there and then! It's sounds so stressful, don't you think? Somehow I'm just not that type of person...

I guess that's why I always unlucky in love! Hahaha! Now we are coming to the point of my blog..hehe! In a relationship, I always take it easy; too pushy, the guy will head to another direction! 2 interesting truth that I want to share with you guys (whoever interested reading this blog).

I know a guy, lets called him A - duh! typical!! Haha. Anyway, I had known A for.....6 years but we lost contact until 2 years ago. He was in a troubled relationship and after some advices (good and reasonable advices, mind you!), he broke off with his gf. I fancy him long time ago and I said to myself, "Hey, this is my chance to commute from friendship to relationship" but I hold myself back coz I THOUGHT that he would need time to collect himself. We do keep in touch after that but 2 months after the breakup, he is with another girl until presently!! Well, there went my golden opportunity..

Recently, I know another guy, B. He is quiet nice and the shy type. Considering that we know each other professionaly, there are some distance between what we share. But I did told him that I like him and want to be his friend (doesn't every relationship starts with friendship?). Anyway, we were being 'friends' for 2 months and a month ago, his messages were very rare and recently none at all. I don't bother that much 'coz I know how busy his job is and all. But earlier this week, I found out that he is going out with a colleague of mine!!! Yup!! I was dumbstruck when a male colleague (he knows that I know B) told me.

Feelings?? I don't know what to feel. I have to admit that it's kindda hurt but I survived once (with A), so I know that I would survive the rest. But would I? Sometimes things just so unbearable that I cried at night for nothing! Geeezzzz, I got so many tears that I need to get rid of them...hahaha...

Regrets?? Sure, I have lots of it!! Trust me, I got so many regrets that will last me the rest of my lifetime! and it keeps on pilling up! Once I regret for something, I ponder upon it, cried for it, sleep on it and next day, I forget about it and start new life...

But, seriously, when you thought that you are giving chances for the others to know you better, somehow in the end you are left where you started - hoping for something you can't sure of....

So Far...

Tuesday, August 21, 2007
My life so far, okay, hectic, tiring but okay; didn't complain much.

My oncall - now is coming to the end of 2nd day and the coming the start of 3rd day - okay, I guess. Tiring also! Walk here and there and my feets ached!!

My trip...believe it or not. It had been a long time I didn't go to work early! My usual workplace is just 3KM from my home so usually I took off from home around 7.25am - 7.30am but starting yesterday, I took off from home 6.30am!! For 2 important reasons:
1. Traffic early in the morning leading to RIPAS is busy..sometimes you will be experiencing 'Snail pace' (coz it's proven that turtles are quite fast - well, my turtles are..hehe!).
2. Parking in RIPAS is almost impossible after 7am!!! Yup! Unfortunately for us, we don't have the privileges as the doctors and other officers. So, you have to make do with what's available...
Trip back home is more hectic than going early morning! Traffic jam everywhere. Experiencing the madness once in awhile, I don't mind but everyday, HELP ME!!! or rather KILL ME!!! haha!! No lah, traffic in Brunei is not that bad compared to other Asian countries but with fatigue and exhaustion, it could be a suffering to be stuck in the traffic..hehe..


My lunchhour - Boring!! I mananged to settle everything by 12.20pm...did this and that, I can only go to the canteen after 12.30pm and by that it's way too crowded and I don't feel like eating alone. So I packed my lunch and ended eating in the kitchen. Few minutes to kill, luckily I bring my laptop, I played games. Unfortunately, I'm 'bercuti', so I can't spend my times in the Surau...

So, that's my life as an oncall person so far...quiet fun! New things to learn everyday and yea, it's not that bad as I always thought (or am I judging too soon)...Hmmmm..just wait and see for the updates!!!

Bunga Bunga Kemboja by Aina Emir

Saturday, August 18, 2007
I tried not to miss reading her novels and when I did read her novels, I always fall in love with it (the novel, I mean). And for the last few days (another reason I didn't update my blog), I was reading one of her novels (the latest, I think), Bunga Bunga Kemboja or in English would be, Jasmine flowers (I think, hehe)!

This afternoon, I managed to finish it. And I have to say that I'm quiet satisfied with the story lineup! Although some of the times I want to knock the characters' head (or rather the writer's head -shhhhuussshhhh..hehehe) but in the end, it's okay..I like happy ending. Believe it or not, I am that childish when it comes to novels. After reading few pages and when I already picked my favourite characters, I always take a peek at the last pages of the novels.Yea yea, I know I'm cheating but I couldn't help it...

Bunga Bunga Kemboja by Aina Emir. It's a story about this Cambodian-Malaysian lady and a Malaysia man. To help the lady, the man, Nabil (I like that name!), willing to marry her just to guide her through life...

I really cannot expain the details but the best way to enjoy the novel is by reading it...

Less 1, Gain 2

Sunday, August 12, 2007
What I meant by that is that today, I had less one single friend but I had gain one married couple...hehe! Well, lose 1, gain 2, should be better, right? But I can't help this feeling of someone 'taken' away from me...

I had known Hjh Maz eversince I moved to the lonely town of Muara. And from her, I know the meaning of best friends! Yea, I have to say that she is my childhood best buddy coz I know her more than 17 years already while my current bestbuddy, Hjh DD, I had known her for the last 10 years.

Eventhough now me and Hjh Maz not that close as we used to be, but we still keep in touch. We hang out when we had the times and shared what we had been through and man! don't we shared a lot (LOL!!!). She knows all my childhood crushes and all those men (or rather boys back then) we had come across during our younger days....and today, she is officially someone's wife...

And she is the last of my childhood friend that got married! When we were in the religious school, there were always 5 of us - me, dayah, hjh maz, nas and feedah. Everywhere we went, there were always 5 girls and guess what? All of them are married! Well, except for me. It doen't come as a suprise to me coz I'm the youngest of all 5 but I have to say, it's kindda a bit lonely now. My bestbuddy, Hjh DD is engaged and the rest of my friends from college are married...Hmmm...

But, Selamat Pengantin Baru for my childhood bestbuddy Hjh Maziah and her hubby...semoga berkekalan hingga ke akhir hayat...AMIN!!!

-Me, Hjh Maziah, Dayah - 2 years ago @Nastalina's Wedding -

- Dayah, Hjh Maziah, Me - today @her wedding -

Proud Owner of.....

...the latest JK Rowling's Harry Potter book! Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. Yea! I know, many people had finished reading it by this time but hey, nevermind..hehe.




Honestly, I'm not a big fan of Harry Potter series - books, I mean. I prefer to watch the movies and that's it. But I made an exception for this one coz as they said, this is the last JK Rowling writing on Harry and there will be no more movie about Harry Potter so I guess this book is worth it. I haven't start reading it yet but when I do, I will comment on it!
