Tasek-Markucing-Tasek

Me on top of Bukit Laur, in between Tasek and Markucing


The journey took placed 3 weeks ago. The 5 of us went again except Hj Tahir didn't come this time. Instead Salehan came with us. We decided that this would be a return journey so we didn't park any car in Markucing. We all gathered at Tasek as early as 6.30am. The round trip took us 3 hours and along those hike, mum and dad called me more than 5 times *yikes* just to ask whether I could make it return. If I couldn't make it, they would fetch me in Markucing. Weh!!! Nda siuk f half way sja so told them, I would definitly make it....which was barely! Fewhh! I made it back but not without aching muscles all over! For that 1 week, I was walking like a robot....hehe but hati puas!!!

Sekadar Renungan...

Di dalam hidup manusia, yang penting ialah BERKAT
Bila hidup kita berkat, diri ini akan selamat
Apabila diri selamat, rumahtangga jadi sepakat
Apabila rumahtangga jadi sepakat, masyarakat jadi muafakat
Apabila masyarakat jadi muafakat, negara kita menjadi kuat
Apabila negara menjadi kuat, negara luar jadi hormat
Apabila negara luar jadi hormat, permusuhan pun tersekat.
Apabila permusuhan tersekat, pembangunan pun meningkat.
Apabila pembangunan pun meningkat, kemajuan menjadi pesat.
TETAPI AWAS, apabila pembangunan meningkat, kemajuan menjadi pesat, kita lihat bangunan naik bertingkat-tingkat.
Ditengah-tengah itu, tempat maksiat tumbuh macam kulat.
Apabila tempat-tempat maksiat tumbuh macam kulat, KETIKA ITU manusia mula mengubah tabiat.
Apabila manusia telah mengubah tabiat, ada yang jadi lalat ada yang jadi ulat.
Apabila manusia dah jadi ulat, sembahyang makin hari makin liat.
Apabila sembahyang jadi liat, orang baik ada yang bertukar jadi jahat.
Apabila orang baik bertukar jahat, orang miskin pula nak kaya cepat.
Apabila orang miskin nak kaya cepat, orang tua pula nak mati lambat.
Apabila orang tua nak mati lambat, tak dapat minum madu telan jerla minyak gamat.
Yang lelaki, budak budak muda pakai seluar ketat. Semua nak tunjuk kuat.
Bila berjudi, percaya unsur kurafat. Tapi hidup pula yang melarat.
Tali kasut dah tak berikat. Rambut pun jarang sikat.
Yang perempuan, pakai mini sekerat. Suka pakai baju ketat. S
uka sangat menunjukkan pusat. Hingga tak pedulikan lagi batasan aurat.
Pakai pulak yang singkat-singkat. Kadang-kadang ternampak benda 'bulat'.
Bila jadi macam ini, siapa lihat pasti tercegat.
Silap gaya jadi gawat, bohsia bohjan lagi hebat.
Duduk jauh berkirim surat . Bila berjumpa, tangan berjabat.
Kemudian pakat lawan peluk siapa erat.
Masa tu, nafas naik sampai tersekat-sekat.
Usah peduli agama dan adat. Usah takut Allah dan malaikat.
Yang penting apa kita nak buat? Kita 'bukti' lah kita buat.
Akhirnya perut kempis dah jadi bulat.
Apabila perut kempis dah jadi bulat, maka lahirlah pula anak-anak yang tak cukup sifat.
Bila anak-anak tak cukup sifat, jam tu kita tengok bayi dibuang di merata tempat.
MAKNANYA KETIKA ITU, IBLIS MULA MELOMPAT.
Dia kata apa? Habis manusia dah masuk jerat. Habis manusia telah tersesat.

Petikan ucapan Ustaz Hj. Akil Hayy Rawa. Sebarkanlah ini kepada ahli keluarga, saudara-mara, rakan-rakan dan sahabat handai kita agar masyarakat kita akan menjadi sebuah masyarakat yang bukan sahaja maju dari segi duniawi malah ukhrawi. Insya-Allah......Allahhuakbar Allahhuakbar! Allahhuakbar!

Me and my so-called adventures ;)

I know it's been AGESSS I didn't update my blog but no worries, m still alive! With wat's going on with my life lately, socialy and workwise, it had been hectic hence my absenties from updating my blog. So manyyyyy things happened in my life lately, most of them memorable and well, some of them not so. I tried not to think of the not-so-memorable thingy but then hey, you can't just escape from them. It's part of life anyway! Just have to face it and live with it.

There was the flood thingy that hit some part of Brunei; my place included! I didn't go for work the first time our place got hit by the flood and the second time, well, I was on leave hence I spent my 'holiday' trapped at home, watching nothing but the TV. Well, one good thing is that I catch up with what's happening in the TV world. I seldom watched TV so the 2 days spent at home was kindda worthwhile jua by watching TV...haha!

Not so pleasent...hmmm...an x-bf of mine msged and told me he got married. My reaction? SHOCK! I mean, nda angin, nda ribut, he just texted me he got married. He texted me AFTER he got married. Macam....WHAT??? I thought we are (were) friends and that's how a friend treated you?? OUCH! That hurts!!! 2 of my friends said that if I don't have any feelings for my x, I wouldn't be mad. So what? I still have a feeling for him??? Imagine, you have a friend, whom you THOUGHT you are close to. He/she got married and he didn't even tell you. How would you feel?? I'm not the type of person to feel offended very easily but when I do (feel offended) trust me, you won't like me for it! This is the second time it happened. Few years back, while I was doing my inservice in Singapore, a 'close' friend of mine got married and she didn't even send me an invitation. Her reason: I was in Singapore and I won't be able to come to her wedding, so why waste an invitation card, right? It hurts and till now, I never really get over it. Ever heard the phrase, it takes a second to like someone, takes a minute to love that someone and takes ages to forget that someone? Oh well, in my case, it's easy to forget me. Hey! I don't mind! Get married all you guys like. Don't bother to tell me. I won't come anyway!!! There......all my frustration vent up, lets move on!

Let's go to pleasant things. Early February, I dared myself to ride a bike; a rider! Of course, m not the one riding it. A friend of mine owns a Kawasaki rider and he offered to give me a ride. It was so damned cool and exhilarating!! It was my first time riding a bike and man....nyanyat kali ah! hahaha! but my first ride cost me my hp! I placed my hp in my pocket and somehow, alone the ride, my hp fell and the screen berkecai seribu....but nothing beats the ride ;)

2 Fridays ago, I was working and after work, me and a friend went to watch the 'Watchmen'. Truth to be told, it's not as I was expected! I thought that it would be an extraordinary movie (from the reviews) but it was not. Came home around 2am feeling dissapointed but it's okay la....at least the company (my friend) is good...hehe! 2 weeks ago also, I met up with my two cheeky engineer-friends - Jason and Mimin! The last time I saw them both was last raya when they came to my place. They fetched me at home and we just hang out, the 3 of us! I don't know what the heck we talked about but we just talked, talked and talked or as Jason and Mimin said 'argued, argued and argued' (coz we 2 of them, I don't want to lose my side of discussion) and it ended up with Mimin send me home at 1am!!! Hahaha! What a crazy Saturday night!

d'3 of us

Me and Mimin...again

Last Saturday night, my plan was staying at home watching the first AF concert and the match between Manchester United and Liverpool. Half way thru' the match and the concert, my friend bawa jln. Frustrated with the score of the first half, I went out. Jln2, the match finished and Liverpool won! Boring eh! The fans at the Red Canopy Foodcourt d'Qlap hotel all dissapointed while my elder bro, who is a big fan of Liverpool, who watched the match in Le Stadium was so excited. Princess Sarah was also there. He showed me the prove by taking group photos with her...hmmmm! Jason and Mimi, who are big fans of Liverpool, both messaged me,just to tease the heck out of me....nda apa..! Sabar Iantie...sabar! Hahaha! Frust with the result, my friend brought me to watch movie and we ended up watching 'Race to Witch Mountain' in Empire. Came home 2am...again! Hahaha!

The next day, Mimin asked me to accompany him to 'start over'. Only the three of us knows what's happening...I think. Anyway, Jason was working and Mimin was on leave so it's just me and Mimin. He fetched me around 1pm and we went bowling.....yea! I never play bowling before and I never touch a bowling ball before but for a begineer, I won the game beating Mimin.....which I won't let him forget!! Whaha! We agreed to compete for another game soon...with Jason coming too...the more, the merrier...hehe! Came home at 5pm.

Daneil, my best male friend came and fetched me at home around 6.30pm and I accompanied him to buy/get his badminton stuffs before we went and watched a movie. Last weekend, it was a very long day for me!! But hey, it's the only time I cannot think of work! So tired thinking of work, I deserve a break...

Most of my afterwork activities are filled with hiking at Tasek and last week, me and a friend saw this new sign, leading to Bukit Markucing in Subok. Told him that we need to try that track. So last Friday, 2 days ago, me and the guys embarked on a new adventure. We plan to hike the trail from Tasek to Bukit Markucing in Subok. We agreed to meet at Tasek at 3.30pm. My brother, Andy when he heard that I'm going to Markucing from Tasek, he wanted to follow too. So, the 5 of us started our journey from the pondok at Tasek at 4+pm, half and hour late from the planned time (ehem...gara2 nunggu a friend yg lambat..hehe). The track was okay, ada some part very slippery but it was managable but it was soooooooo quiet. I feel like we were in the real jungle (which it is)! Along the way, we only met 2 men. It was raining and yes, we were caught in the rain but it was not that bad. I dunno whether my shirt was wet from the rain or from the sweat but it was so satisfying! When we were halfway thru' we reached this peak and it was so gratifying and the view.....wow! It's unbelievable! I still couldn't believe that I reach that peak...It feels like a dream. We completed the hike within 1hour 40mins - one way from Tasek to Markucing. By the time we came down the Markucing, it was almost 6pm. Luckily one of the guys parked his car in Markucing and he sent us back to Tasek. Next on agenda, Bukit Shahbandar Bukit 17.....can't wait!

New Year, Work and Everything Else

Been a while I didn't update my blog. New year had been buzy and so far, m managing okay! How I spent my new year? I took a flight out on the last day of the 2008 to Kota Kinabalu where my parents and my 2 youngest brothers were waiting for me there. I took a half day off that day and my brother, Andy sent me to the airport around 3PM. Luckily I checked in early and managed to get a seat nearest to the exit coz it was a full flight. It was a short flight, about 25 minutes. I only brought a totte bag with me and the stewardess asked me to place my bag on the overhead compartment. When we landed, it took me some efforts to get my bag down. I thought with my high heels I would manage to get my bag but unfortunately, the truth is, even with my 3 inch heels, I still couldn't reach my bag. Out of nowhere, a male's hand reached over and got my bag for me. Turned out, it's the guy sitting in the opposite aisle. I noticed him plng before but then me, being me, just mind my own business. I said my thanx to him and we went our separate ways.

We were staying at the Courtyard hotel in 1Borneo and the journey from the airport to the hotel is about 20-30 minutes in which we were stuck in the traffic jam. Arrived at the hotel around 7PM and soon after settled in, aimed with my comfortable slipper, all of us started to walk thru' the 1Borneo. The building is amazing but suprisingly, it's kindda quiet there. I think less people going there due to the standard and the distance. I can see more of the Bruneians than the local. But hey, m not complaining...at least that gave me some space to do window shopping and shopping...hehe!

The shops close at 10PM hence my shopping for that night is limited and I only managed to buy a pair of urs & inc's shoe which cost me.....errrmmmm...now, I don't remember the price (haha! just avoiding the truth of how much m willing to pay for a pair of shoe)! anyway, m quiet happy for my purchase! Bought some snacks then me and my brothers retired to our room. Equipped with a wireless connection in the room and with our laptop, while waiting for the new year, me and my bros went ssuurrrfffiinnnggg! Mostly, it's my bros did the surfing while me, tired for work in the morning, went under the cover with the intention to 'get a rest' but turned out, I feel asleep...haha! Talked about greeting in the new year! Haha!

Next day, dad woke us up and we had our breakfast at the hotel's lounge..cool place! After breakfast, we jln-jln around the 1Borneo but most of the shops were not opened yet so we decided to go to the city area. We went to Wisma Merdeka. Me and my bros decided to cut our hairs so we went to this saloon. My youngest bro, Muiz decided to do a simple cut and a highlight while my younger bro, Faiz decided to just cut his hair and me, ehem, I decided to rebond my hair and no cutting. And believe me, this time it took longer than before. We were there around 12PM and my bros were done within 1-2 hours while for me, I was sitting in that chair for 6-freaking-hours!! I finished rebonding my hair around 6PM, 2 hours after the shop closed! I was the only customer left behind! Hahaha! Gila eh! I was so tired, hungry and macam-macam! I didn't expect it to be that long! Fewwhhh! My last rebonding experience here in Brunei only took me 4 hours and even that, I couldn't stand it. That's why I did my hair only when I got the free time - which rarely I have nowdays! Hehe!

We had our dinner near the seaside that night and after that we went back to the 1Borneo and after shower (with my hair covered), me and my bros started to shop again! Haha! Kaki shopping! Managed to buy few more pairs of shoes/sandles and I don't even remember what else I bought...hehe! We went home the next day coz I had to get back to work the following Saturday. We went off from the hotel around 9.45AM and we only stopped to buy fuel. Mahal eh fuel di Malaysia. No wonder many Malaysians wanted to buy fuel di Brunei. Anyway, we arrived Limbang around 3PM and with heavy rain, we stopped to eat belated lunch and we que-ed up around 4PM and wow! it was a long que. Not the longest, I heard but still, 2 hours doing nothing but to sit, to eat, to joke, to read and to sleep is kindda bored! We managed to come home around 6.30PM!! So exhausted! Eventhough my dad drove all the way from KK to Brunei, I was so tired! I think my dad knew I would be tired so he didn't ask me to drive coz he is also on leave.

As soon as we came home, my dad's uncle (kira me grandpa la tu) called to tell that my grandma (my dad's mum) is sick. She complains to pain along the left arm and my grandpa told my dad to bring her to the hospital for check up. So, I had my shower and went straight to kg - my grandma is staying with my aunt. I tried to pujuk my grandma to come with me to the clinic but being an old lady, I can't compete with her stubborness! She was having 'urititis' aka beruri! Having diabetes and hypertension, she was so scared that the doctor will ward her or add more medications. So I gave up and just advised her on cutting down the sugary and the salty foods..I visited her again last Sunday and she's getting better dah, Alhamdullilah!

Work-wise, I managed to finish all the drug usages for the year 2008 and submitted it last Tuesday. At least that's out of my mind, I can now concentrate on my ordering. But starting next week, I need to stay back and do all the entry into the database....aaiiiii...work never end! Last-last, I would become workholic jua nie eh! Hmmm...

I went for hiking at Tasek last Wednesday and yesterday. This time, I didn't go alone. Last Wednesday, I went with a friend and yesterday, my friend's friend brought him to hike the Marakucing and my friend brought me along. Iski ku udah kan hike the Marakucing but unfortunatly, it was drizzling that afternoon and the 3 of us went to Tasek instead. It was fun but for an infrequent hiker like myself, it took me a great effort to finish the hike. Luckily I got a cheerleader who cheer me all the way...haha :P

Last night, it's the siblings outting. Me, my brother after me, Andy, Faiz and Muiz went out and just hang out! My other brother, Adi didn't come along coz he had to work overtime. We went out around 9.30PM and it was raining quiet heavily. We went to Qlap and our intention was to watch a movie but there is no interesting movie at the moment. We already watched Bedtime Stories, Yes Man, Twilight, IP Man, The Day The Earth Stood Still, Wild Child.....so, what movie to watch?? Batah-batah d Qlap Mall thinking, we went to the Mall. 3 of us planning to watch Histeria but Andy doesn't want to watch it. You thought that being in the army would make him tough but I think I'm wrong...hahaha! Ended up we went to McDonald, eat and chat! Came home around 12midnight!

This morning, I woke up early to send my car for servicing and while waiting, I went shopping.....again! Bini-bini tah banar! Haha! When we came back from KK, I sdaid to myself, no more shopping for this month but eventually that doesn't work for me..haha! I ended up buying another bag....berapa banyak bag la?? haha!!

Anyway, after this, banar nie, m not going for shopping no more. Done! for this month! Hehe! I will stay at home for today and will start do my ordering...hehe!

This weekend, I gotta attend my aunt's sister-in-law's wedding. And I still haven't decide for next weekend - whether to attend the Annual Pharmacy Gathering (APG) which would be held in Tutong or to attend my chinese cousin's wedding in Rizqun hotel. I already paid to attend the APG and my parents already RSVP the whole family for the wedding!! Errrkkk! Yang mana satu nie?? I can skip either one plang but the thing is, I don't know which 1 to skip...hehe! The APG this year sounds so fun - it's the 70's theme and we the community staffs already were thinking to wear the 70's outfits and some of us willing to wear wigs (haha! excluding me!) while the wedding, errrmmm, do I need to say, it's family's function. Bida jua usulnya to skip....uurgghhhh...mcmana ah?? Oh well, I think about it when the time comes...haha! Udah atu!

Cheers! Happy New Year Everyone!

Benar - Benar Bored!!!

This is the first time in a long long time I ever feel this bored! The last time I got this feeling was when I was in Singapore where one of the weekends, everyone out and about and I stayed behind and got nothing to do!

Tonight, I'm at home, alone with nothing to do. Actually, I got so many things to do but all those involved office works and since I don't want to think about office at the moment, m not gonna do anything about it. Hence here I am, doing nothing (sort of!). My parents with my 2 youngest brothers left for KK this morning and I will be going there tomorrow. Can't wait! I'm leftbehind with my other 2 brothers but then being boys, jangantah harap ada d rumah!

I went to jog/hike/walk at Tasek this afternoon after work considering that I know that I would get bored and lonely if I came home. I only did 1 round - saja kan testing my new running shoe...hehe! Finished around 5.45pm and went straight to Kiulap to pay some bills. Went to KFC Sengkurong and bought something to eat and by the time I came home, it's 7PM!
Fuuuiiii...patangnya rumah. No light anywhere. Switched on (nearly all) the lights, fed my cat, my rabbits, my turtles and them I fed myself...hehe! Had my shower and here I am...really got NOTHING to do!!!

Makan, done! Mandi, done! Kan liat DVD, malas jua rasanya. Kan read a book, malas jua! Ntah laaaa....

Anyway, new year 2009 is less than 48 hours away and same as last year (or this year), I'm not gonna have any new year's resolutions coz somehow I just couldn't stick to it! So better don't have any lah! Let just see what 2009 would bring!

Happy New Year 2009 Everyone!
May your coming years be meaningful than before!

Ringing In The New Year!!

Selamat Menyambut Awal Tahun Hijrah 1430 everyone and Happy New Year 2009!

Last Weekend

Last weekend, the family was having a mini family day by having a slide pool bouncer. It was superfun and here are some of the snapshots. I joined in playing (mana kira!) and I ended up having sunburn. Imagine playing that thing from 9am till 6pm and I changed clothes 3 times!!!

Faiz, Trisya, Atul and Muiz

My eldest bro..lagi nda sadar diri *kweng*kweng*kweng*

Faiz - giant slider

Wadi - perasaan di Sunway Lagoon

Trisya, Atul and Muiz

Trisya and Muiz

Trisya and Muiz...again!

Gaya Trisya turun slide

Gaya Atul turun slide

Gaya Atul jua

P.s. Don't bother to look for my picture coz it ain't here...haha! Sensored sikit!

The Weirdest Day

I woke up and came late to work today with no breakfast. Being late, I didn't manage to get a parking under the garage so I parked outside, blocking a colleague's car. Once I opened the office's door, the phone started to ring. It's my boss. He's attending a seminar-workshop for this 1 whole week hence he is not coming to the office. Staffing problems la early morning so had to settle before 7.45 that morning. One of my assistants needs to go to another health centre; she doesn't drive so I had to send her. By the time I came back to the office, all the parkings are full. Frustrated, I just blocked the rest of the cars! haha! First time ever I did that! Came out of my car, headed straight for the security, handed them my car's key and told them to move my car if any of the 7 cars I blocked wanted to go out.

By lunchtime, I didn't feel going out coz it rained (and I just had a shiny clean car for 1 day). I looked down to the parking lot and saw the security was moving my car and he made 1 round and guess what? There is an empty parking in the garage and he didn't park there. Instead, he blocked 2 other cars. So, I casually came down and asked about my car.

Me: Macammana my car?
The Security: Ah! Yang Ford atu kah?
Me: Awu...
TS: Sudah belalih
Me: (pura-pura nda tau) di dalam garage kah?
TS: Kita mau dalam garage kah?
Me: Baik jua..kalah ada kosong
TS: Bah, aku saja melalihkan
Me: Oh...bah, buleh jua. Thanx (and I went up and subuk lagi where he's gonna park my car)

The security made 1 round and parked in the front. It's a tight space so I just observed how he parked my car. I'm a very fussy person, to be honest. I rarely let anyone to drive my car nowdays. Because my car is considered my boyfriend tu. I take care of him very carefully; bath him, lanja him...hehe! The security managed to pass my validation as he can park my car so nicely. Then around 2PM, as I was watching the rain outside (yes! nada kerja lain), I saw my car parking was changed - from front parking to the back! I don't mind being park in the back, as long bergarage. Besides I parked at the back everyday jua. But what happened? Malar jua tukar-tukar parking. 2 of my colleagues said that the security like to drive my car, iatah rajin memindah atu..hmmm..

Lunch time, I stayed in the office to finish up my paperwork when a phone call came. I answered and the guy on the other line wanted to speak to 'Seri'. I was like 'what? ter is no Seri here' and he explained that he couldn't be sure of the name and introduced himself. Recognized him as one of my patients, so I started to talk to him (thinking that he has some queries about his medications) and turned out he called to tell me how much he likes me!! WHAT?!! I was like 'are you sure you are not mistaken?'. Considering that it's only 2 of us working in that dispensary and my colleague is a guy, so he told me of coz he's not mistaken. He started to introduced himself personally beyond the dispenser-patient relationship and asked me questions about myself. FREAKY! But no to be rude, I just entertained him. I know I shouldn't coz it would only complicate matters but I can't just hang up on him, right? I mean, I'm seeing this guy like every month. He started to ask whether I wanted to have lunch with him some day or another. ERRMMM.... Should I ask for transfer? Nah! I think he is no a threat...well, I hope so. Anyway, told him I don't mind being friend with him...

Around 2.30PM, my stock came and the usual 3 labourers datang with all the stocks. I don't know them personally apart from seeing them once a week. 2 of the guys have this big arms and one time, I asked them whether they do lifting and they said yes. One of the guys asked me whether I'm interested in going to the gym with them and I said, 'buleh jua. tapi nantila bila aku rajin' and he said, 'bah, sound-sound saja'. After they left, my colleague told me that the guys were asking for my hp no (what?) and he (my colleague) told them he doesn't know. Fewwhh...I told my colleague that if they are a gentlemen, they would ask me my no themselves, not thru' him (my colleague).

Geeezzz...what a weird day!

Me and The Gang

2 weekends ago, almost half of the ND/SCI/09 came together and gather once again for Azmin's wedding. Another one of us got married. I woke a bit late that Sunday coz the previous night I was out with my bestie to attend the closing dinner for the badminton tournament which was held in a restaurant in Kiulap. With prize presentations, karoake and eating, we got off late, slept late and woke up late. Hehe!

Considering that I'm the unofficial designated driver for the day (me and my bestie take turn to drive when we went out), I had to be ready by 10.15am. Around 10am, Era, another close friend of mine messaged saying that his hubby (also a close friend of mine) couldn't attend b'coz of work commitment and asked if I can fetch her, so I just said get ready by 11am. So, I fetched my bestie and zoomed off to Lambak and arrived ter at 11am (m sooo good with time management..haha!). Me, Dedy, Era and Hj Saipul (Era's hubby) always see each other so, we are quiet close now compared to the rest of the college mates and it's always nice to help each other out...just like old times....

The wedding was held in the ICC and we arrived there around 11.15am. We asked the family members if we can see the groom and we were led to another room, where the groom and the family gathered. Managed to take couple of pictures with the groom and while we were there, Rozme, Ebby (her hubby) and their daughter, Batrisya Nabila came. Snap another picture with them. Funny thing is that me and Rozme work together in 1 department and honestly this is the first time I saw her in a year! YES!! She is working in Tutong while I'm working in Bandar. Seldom our paths cross.

Sabrina and her small familt came together with Insyriah while Daneil came alone. Our college mates that couldn't make it - Hj Saipul (working), Hijjah (just gave birth last 12th November) and her hubby, Nasrul (who is our college mate), Miah (who is admitted to the day ward in RIPAS for glucose check) and Maidin (who is currently studying HND in UK). Apart from that, all of us were there. It's so nice to see everyone - almost everyone! Congralts Min!!!

Me and Daneil

Me and the Bond.......James Bond ;)

Not a big fan of Bond movies but I do like to watch it, mainly because of the actions. I was planning to watch the earlier show at 10PM but because of TARA, which aired at 9PM, so I took the midnight show.

Daneil Craig, I still haven't make up my mind about him - whether he suits the Bond personality or not! But he dressed as nicely as the other Bonds. Hehe! And what I noticed about the latest 2 Bond movies is that Bond is driving a Ford car and having a Sony Ericsson cell. Both what I'm driving and having. Does that make me the Bond's girl? Haha! Come on! Everyone wants to become the next Bond's girl. Even I heard that Beyonce is already auditioning for the next film.

In the theatre, only 3 of us watching the movie along with a couple and by the time the movie ended, it was 2AM. And when we came out of the Qlap mall, only 4 cars on sight....fewwwhhh...dalam sejarah...haha! Came home around 2.15AM and went to sleep. Only woke up at 12noon....ish ish ish!!!!!

Me and TARA

TARA - short for The Amazing Race Asia. I'm not a big fan of real-life drama or such but when it is an adventure, it's an exception. I also don't usually watch The Amazing Race ( the Asia and International versions) mainly coz I don't like waiting a week to know what will happen next but entah ah...I kindda hooked on TARA Season 3. Watched every episode of it....blast it! Haha!

Anyway, last night is the season finale for the season 3 and truthfully, I'm kindda dissapointed and kindda relieve. Dissapointed that the Malaysian ladies didn't manage to win - they worked hard (physically and emotionally) and they should deserve it....so, there you go! But I was relieved that the Hongkies won!!! Not a big fan of them but it's better than the Phil team - Geoff and Tish. I have nothing against Tish but I dislike the bf, Geoff. He's so arrogant and over-confident. That's only my opinion anyway. Don't know how Tish could stand that guy....

Me and My So-Calld Stress Hormone

This week I'm kindda stressed up a bit. It's because of these KKC thingy! Yes! Our 2006 project haven't finish yet and as the secretary of this project, somehow I can feel the pressure already. With our group's leader going for his Haj next week and a long leave after that and with my group's co-leader went to futher her study last October, the pressures are all on me! YIKES!! I definitly don't like the feeling! Almost everyday for this week alone, I had to come home late.

Last Monday, after work, well, I started to play netball again in the Ministry. Had lots of exercises and catching up to do with 2-month break from netball. Pharmacy badminton tournament also kicked off last Monday night for 3 consecutive nights. I'm not playing. It's not that I don't know how to play, I do know how to play. It's just I don't know how to serve...haha! Honestly, I serve like I serve a tennis ball - bounce the shuttle up and hit..haha! Yea! I know I'm weird! But apart from that I DO know how to play. Anyway, I came home around 6.45PM from my netball, had my dinner, took a bath and then zoomed to RIPAS sport complex to watch and gave my supports to my bestie - she's playing. That Monday also, I had the lousiest mood at work. My partner was pulled to somewhere to relieve a colleague and I had to put up with......better I don't say lah. Later, will only raise an office politic but whatever it is, I'm not satisfied with what's happening last Monday. It's not that I don't like Monday! I DO like Monday, it's just that lousiest thing always happened on Mondays.

Tuesday, I had to drag myself to the ICC for the Hari Perkhidmatan Awam thingy. Don't ask me why I'm invited, I also have no idea and honestly, I don't fancy looking for parking in a FULL parking lot. Luckily, I'm not the one that's driving. Had to sit and listen for almost 2.5hours. Finally get back into the office around 11AM. 2nd night of the badmintion tournament and I didn't go. Texted my bestie that I couldn't come. Why? I don't know honestly but I was so damned tired. Not that I had any netball afterwork. Afterwork, I just straight went home, had my dinner, took my bath and went to sleep! SERIOUSLY! I went to bed around 8PM after I had my Isya' prayer. I was just plain tired, mentally, I guess. I was about to doze off when my bestie messaged me that she had lost.....again....at tonight's game and I 'postponded' my sleep for few minutes to consult and comfort her. She just couldn't accept another lost! Haha! Poor Dedy!

Wednesday, I had to stay back after work to attend a meeting. Mentally tired and physically hungry. I still stick to my no-lunch, so that afternoon, I finsihed up 2 apples and a half-container of biscuits. Haha! I'm not a big fan of biscuits but I managed to finish a half-container og it due to starvation. Came home around 6.30PM, had my dinner, took my shower, had my Maghrib and Isya' prayers then zoomed again to RIPAS sport complex. Tonight, the last night of the tournament. My bestie was half-way thru' the first set when I came and she lost...AGAIN!!! URRRGGGHH!!! Told her, "Baik tah aku jgn datang if you kept on losing" and she just smiled! I stayed there till 10.15PM, came home, switched on my PC and watched the latest Grey's Anatomy from a pendrive a friend downloaded for me. Only went to sleep around midnight.

Thursday, I came 'late' to work. My definition of 'late' here is after 7.15AM. Suprisingly, at work, it was not buzy for Thursday but somehow, I'm kindda irritated with 3 of my assistants. My regular assistant was being 'borrowed' to my other colleague hence I got a replacement for her plus with another 2 new assistants. What pissed me off was that all 3 of them doing the same thing while other duties were left unattented. I might be a chatty person but when it comes to work, I don't like to repeat myself. I only tell them what are their duties once and if you have any doubt, ask! It's not my habit to remind them what their duties are. As a professional, you should know what your duties are. If you don't know, memorized it, recorded it, jotted it down...whatever! I don't care! As long as you do your damn job!!! I was so in another lousy mood that afternoon and it doesn't help that, my group leader made my life complicated! I don't know. Maybe he is also stressed up with our project but that's not the reason to intefere me during from doing my on-going duties. Afterwork, I had to go to RIPAS coz our KKC group was having our briefing to the other staffs on the implementation of our project which we will start conducting this Monday. So, starting this Monday, with the group leader on a long leave, I had to stuggle with the other 2 members with our project. InsyaAllah, everything will just go smoothly.The funniest thing happened today was that everyone I met, in my so-called stressed mood said that I'm pretty today. Haha! My angry/stress hormone made me pretty know I had that 'glow'. Haha!! I should be angry more often...Hahaha!!

This morning, I woke up late, around 10AM, I think. I was suppose to go to RIPAS to take some injections but then I forgot! Tomorrow night, my bestie brings me to the closing dinner for the badminton tournament. It's actually only for the commities and the players only but then my bestie (who is also the commitie and the player) insisted me to accompany her, bah, layan saja...sama jua makan free! Haha! This Sunday, the ND/SCI/09 will be reunited again for Azmin's wedding which will be held in the ICC. From what I know, almost all of us are going, so yippieee, another reunion for us! Been a long time all of us didn't gather around. With Azmin getting married, so it will be left with me, Dedy, Syirah and Daneil who are not married. Dedy and Syirah both are attached, me and Daneil, well....let's just say that we are close. Let the time decide for us........ *wink*wink*

Me and the Dentist

I had a dental appintment this afternoon hence I am taking a half day off from work. It's been quiet a while I didn't make a trip to the dentist. I think my last trip would be in 2006! I was so obedient *haha* back then, so I stick to the 6-month visit to the dentist.

This time however, it's an unplanned visit. A colleague of mine is a good friend to this dentist and 1 day, the dentist came to the workplace and we had a chitchat and he's willing to give me an appointment to do reshaping. FYI - my front tooth is a bit chipped. It happened when I fell off from a bicycle long long long time ago *kira tera jua lah time kanak-kanak atu*. So, this dentist agreed to reshape my front teeth, making it more nicer *ehem*! I got an appointment that easy while others have to wait months to see this guy coz he's considered a specialist in this area.

Anyhow, me and dentist, there is always something wrong. What I meant by something wrong here is that shyness! I always get soooooo shy infront of the dentist. Any dentist! Male or female, both, I can't get rid of my shyness! Female dentist, I can tahan sikit la but when it comes to male dentist, fewwwwhhh...malu berabis.

The reason is that dentist does the dirty job. I mean, come on la, we all have to admit that our mouth is one of the dirtiest place in our body apart from the lower parts. Food came in all the time along with other things (whatever is the other things). So, when you open your mouth to the dentists, it's like they are looking right through your personalities. The cleaner your mouth, you are an okay person; the dirtier your mouth, you are the person who doesn't care about your personal hygine.

Alhamdulilah, my mouth and teeth are clean *puji diri sendiri*. I'm not saying that my mouth is the cleanest of all. It's just that I take very good care of my teeth and mouth hygine hence I don't have any problems. But, I have to admit, when a dentist see my mouth, I do get a very low self-confidence! I mean, they see what you can't even see.

Anyway, today, I was on my back with my mouth opened for 1 and a half hours! *YIKES* That's a record for me! That's the longest I ever sit with my mouth opened infront of the dentist!!! Fortunately, I decided not to go for braces coz that would take even longer....I don't think I can sit that long!!

Jalan-Jalan di Tasek

Last week, me, my parents and 2 of my younger brothers went out. We ate breakfast in one of the restaurants in Gadong and after we had our breakfast, my dad asked, "Bah, kan ke mana tah nie?". All we said is, "Jalan-jalan bah santai...namanya hujung minggu" hehe, so we went to Tasek Lama. My 2 younger brothers never been there (kesian ah!), so my dad brought all of us there...Managed to snap some pictures!

B'day Presents

My besties gave me an early birthday presents (yup! more than 1) before I went on leave. And I have to say, I LOVEEEEEEEE her presents. It's a tote bag!!! How I LOVVEEE bagssss!!!!

One day we were window shopping in Yayasan when I spotted this gold/green tote bag from Divina. She asked me why I like tote (big/oversize) bag while most ladies like smaller bags? So I told her that I'm not like most ladies...haha! That's got her frustrated. But truthfully, I like a big bag where you can stuffed eveything in...haha! And as I said to her, "boleh bawa piknik" haha!

Then, just before I went on leave, she said that I can open the presie early except for 1 small present. She gave me 3 presents!!! I opened the big box and AAHHHHH!!! It's the bag that I second-like most!!! Haha! The bag that I saw in Divina, the bag that I like the most costs around $200+ so she said that she bought me the second that I like best....awwww....m so touched! I mean, I didn't expect her to buy me a bag coz she knows how many bags I own already (oooppppsss!!!)!!!! And eventhough this gold/green tote not as expensive as the white one, the one they put on display (ehem! ehem! - just incase someone out there wanna buy it for me..haha....wishful thinking!) but still, this tote is expensive. I would think twice to buy it especially after raya, where I'm kindda broke! hahaha!
Her 2nd present is a picture frame with a picture of us from the recent raya....My mum already placed it in our living room (for everyone to see) hehe!

Her 3rd present, it's the bestest birthday greeting anyone gave me so far. It comes in a CD-ROM and once I opened it, it shows our journey together as friends, right from the day I met/knew her till the present time. Pictures said thousands and thousands of words...Honestly, I cried during this part...

An ex-boyfriend of mine gave me the coolest gadget ever! I'm in heaven! Hehehe! He gave me the b.mobile zoom broadband and as I said before, I'm in heaven! It's an expensive present an ex-boyfriend can give and I told him but if he still insist to buy it for me, well, what the heck?! Accept sja tia...haha!

Thank you all for you presents, birthday wishes and all the belanja-belanja thingy!!! Love my family and the all of my friends.

It's not the age that counts
It's the thoughts!!
