Drivers with their attitude and their cars!
Okay! I'm having my rage again about some drivers' attitude here in Brunei road. It's the basic rule of the road that if it's a two lanes, the slower vehicles will use the left lane and right lane is for the faster, zoomer vehicles, right? Correct me if I'm wrong (which I'm not! hehe). And when you want to overtake, whether it's a two lanes or single lane, you will overtake to the right side, not the left side, am I right?
"Keep to the left when not overtaking" - as a road sign always indicates.
So, this morning, I was zooming away, on my way to Telisai and somewhere along the Tutong highway, there is this silver Merc M-Class on the right lane and he is pacing around 60-80km/hr. I slowed down coz there is no way he can squeeze to the left lane with all the army trucks (as what I thought initially) so I tailed him for like 1KM and when the left lane is free of vehicle and he still didn't budge, that's when it hit me that this snob driver had no intention to move his big, fat, silver ass to the left lane; so I overtook him from the left lane. Don't get me wrong but Merc M-class is one of my many dream cars but come on lah, road rule is a road rule....what more you want me to say?
You know, this is not unusual in Brunei. I don't know, maybe Bruneians are so 'rich' that almost everyone can afford expensive cars and when they do get their hands on expensive cars, they tend to show off or just plain snob with what they have. With my fair share of the road and all, I have seen these type (who thinks their cars are the kings of the road and won't move when they are suppose to).
Am I saying Bruneians are insensitive? Nda jua... Inconsiderate? Hmm...nda jua... Selfish more like it... And yea, I'm a Bruneian so maybe also once in awhile, I'm also selfish but as I said, ONCE IN A WHILE, not always. I know when I'm on the right lane and when I am suppose to move to the left lane coz as everyone else (I presume) learnt the road rules....
Another thing, why you want to buy an expensive, faster car when you are driving like a turtle? Coz you love your car to speed? If that's the answer, then better frame your car in your garage and don't let it run.... For comfort? Yeah, well that's more reasonable but if your are driving 60-80km/hr in a right lane of a long highway, you are mostly irritating....
What's your average speed in a highway? Me? Minimum of 100km/hr and maximum of 160km/hr....yea, speed kills, I know that.
A wise guy once said, "It's better late to arrive than not to arrive at all"
And my word, please people, the road is not yours only to use....be aware of other road users....

May Brithday Celebrants!
Tuesday, May 20, 2008
If birthday presents are compulsary for everyone, then I think I will be broke before the next salary...hehe..mainly bcoz, I got lots special birthday celebrants for this May....
First and foremost, 13th May is the birthday of my oldest ever, bestest ever and the one that I love most in this world - it's my mum's 49th birthday....and I'm happy because she's happy....
Next, let me recap my ugama (religious) school days. There are 5 of us - close and consider bestfriends - me, Hjh Maziah, Dayah, Feedah and Nastalina...and 3 of them celebrated their borthdays this May and no, I'm not one of them....ahakz!
Dayah's birthday is either on the 8th May or the 10th May and Feedah's birthday is either on the 8th May or the 10th May....honestly, I couldn't remember which is which....I'm still in touch with Dayah but not Feedah. I don't know what went wrong with our friendship. Maybe we just growup, I think. I tried to mend things with her few years back, but she somehow reluctant to do so....anyway, I was not invited to her wedding so I guess, there is 'something' wrong with us....
Hjh Maziah's birthday is the same with my mum's - 13th May....May she happy always and dapat anak very very soon....
And one my my bestest friends while I was in college, Rozmeharyati's birthday is this 31st May...Man! Our college years, I have to say, was the best....

Updates Overdue!!
It had been a while I didn't update my blog...well, tell the truth, it had been a while I didn't open my laptop, sampai behabuk-habuk dah..hehe! There were many things happening that somehow I just got buzy to update my blog or to open my laptop.
Earlier this month, for the 1st time ever since October 2004, I took an MC. I got conjunctivitis....yikes! Not a good feeling, I tell you. Everyone treated me like I am an invalid; cannot do anything...just lie back and relax, cannot jalan-jalan...so boring man! And just last weekend, I fell sick again, high fever, headaches and all those associate with damam...Now, I'm feeling a bit better, just my throat itchy and painful sja....
With my immune system low this month and with the addational workload, I can't wait for my next leave - which is coming soon but it's only for 4 days...but nevermind! As long as I don't think about work for that 4 days. But...apa nie, so many butsss....hehehe. Anyway, I don't think I can relax during my leave coz my dad eventually will leave for KL-Kelantan this 3rd June and he is expected to be there for 1 month, so as the 2nd eldest, I'm expected to burden almost all of the responsibilities during my dad's absence as my eldest brother is not living with us....hmmm....I have to run here and there to pay bills, buy electric top up and bla bla bla during my leave...
Workwise....with my hectic social life (ehem ehem), I managed to submit 2 of my pending reports and both had been approved by my boss(es)! Next would be my inspection report....which is not as easy as I thought it would be. Entah lah...I mean, I sure can do it, right? I mean this is not the first time I'm doing it...so, hopefully before this month is out and before my leave, I can manage to finish and submit the report. Apart from that, our KKC project somehow had managed to get the attention of our minister and somehow he wanted us to present to him - unofficially - our project somewhere this 11th/12th June! Yikessss!!! That is like less than 3 weeks away and we are not ready to present anything yet! Nowdays, I always came home late just to attend after office meetings....so tiring man!
What else? Okay, work activities....We have a cleaning campaign this Friday and next week, during the long weekend, we will be having a fishing activity! Geeezzz! No wonder all the pharmacy staffs are so stress with so many activities and all....I'm tired! Mentally and physically!!
Social life?? Hmmm..getting better. I'm in a relationship at the moment which surprises almost EVERYONE!!! Hahaha! What?! What so suprising in that?! I mean, all of them know I had few hoping male friends and it is not surprising for me to choose one of them, right? Anyway, yeah...so I'm in a relationship and we'll see how that goes. One of my colleague was asking how my boyfriend (hehe!) can tahan(stand) to be with me when he, who is working everyday with me couldn't stand me? Hey! I'm a good person, it's just that as a lady and a bit of perfectionist, I tend to be fussy and nag...haha! Well, he (my colleague) is not my bf, so of course la he couldn't tahan....hahaha!
What else? Oh yeah! I watched Iron Man twice! in the cinema and Speed Racer. The Chronical of Narnia: Prince Caspian, I haven't manage to watch it yet with my damam and all....and my new Astro card alum ada.....hmmm..better go to Limbang this Friday and check again with the company....

Untraceable
Tuesday, April 29, 2008
Well, nobody says that internet is all good and nobody says either that it's all that bad! But anyone of you had seen the latest movie in the cinema - Untraceable! Well, the simplest that I can say about this movie is that - web kills!
So, I managed to squeeze my Sunday to watch movie w MM (ehem ehem)..hehe! Untraceable is a story about a bunch of FBI agents who traces crime thru' the internet (ooo..ooo) and 1 night (yup! they work at night, well, initially..), they received a link www.killwithme.com (haha! don't bother to try it! Well, I didn't!). It shows the killing of a cat. Now! What I don't understand, why cats?? I LOVEEE cats! Then the real thing started! It started to kill human. The more people log into the website, the faster it kills the person.
I have to say, this movie is super duper hi-tech! I mean, WOW! The way the killer murder his victims is so cruel and suffering. Working in a medical-laboratory field, somehow I know what the victims suffering! The part that really got into me is when one of the victims is burn to death! That - you must watch! hehe!
Dunno what the heck m talking about? Watch it!

When?!
Friday, April 25, 2008
The question is, when I'm gonna have a free weekend?! I can't see any free weekend in the near future!
I think I am overwork already! and I can't blame it entirely it on work..hehe! My social life is picking up...ehem ehem! Quiet busy in that department too! hehe!
It's Friday today and I'm beat! Tired! Exhausted! Drop dead ngalih! Last week, my days were full and this week, I think its the same. Last Wednesday, we had a CE in Ripas but I didn't attend. Reason - plain LAZY! haha! Yesterday afterwork, I had to stay back and attended a meeting and only manage to go at 6PM. From office, I went straight to Kiulap where the rest of the family gather to celebrate my Bro Andy's 22nd birthday! I finally came home around 7.30PM.
A 'friend' messaged me to bring me out and watch the Forbidden Kingdom, so I only managed to change and freshen a bit before went out again.
The movie - it's quiet nice! When you put both Jackie Chan and Jet Li in a movie, it's quiet....nice, I guess! Wish Bruce Lee is still around but...hmmmm...I came home around 10.30PM.
This morning, me and 2 of my colleagues had a 'project' for our place, so we decided to do it this morning. But first, I had to rush to the bank to settle my brother's car that is under my name then I went to the office. I stayed for 2 hours and had to go home coz my dad is the one picking me up.
This afternoon, me and my family decided to have a hi-tea in Season's and yup! now, I'm full! Nda lagi dapt kemana-mana! So drop dead full! and with the weather, it's soooo good to sleep...
But urrggghhh..I can't stop thinking about tomorrow! Why? Coz tomorrow, I have to stay back (AGAIN!) to attend another meeting! Wah! Boring eh! It's a weekend and we are having a meeting! So stressfulllllll!!! I haven't do or compose my inspection report yet and with my room's air con not working, I don't feel like doing anything but to sleep....but I also can't sleep well with this hot environment...I'm sweating already as I typed! hehehe
Laterzzzzz........

Back to civilization weekend!
It's been ages that I hadn't update my blog! Guilty! I got tonnes, tonnes and tonnes things to do and some I managed to do but most of it still pending! Urrgggghhh! I am basically mentally and physically exhausted!
Workwise; I got reports and ordering to do and with the current managment in the State Medical Store, it's making me more stress! My order I sent like 3 weeks ago, half of them came 2 weeks after that and the rest, as they said "alum bebuat"! Sekalinya bila tah kan membuat? And you know what the storekeeper told me, "ntah ah, banyak lagi nie yang pending" and I directly said to him that he cannot do that (not doing my order!). I mean, the basic procedure for preparing the stock is 2 weeks and by the 3rd week, not done yet! I told him that I need my stock. A colleague of mine also last time pissed off when her stock (which was delayed 3 weeks) was accidently being send to Temburong! Haha! Atu lagi parah! She went to the SMS and get her stock herself, the storekeeper said to her, "jgn marah ah" and she simply said, "aku nda plang marah, patients bh yang marah" haha! good answer mate!
And still in the topic of work, our department I think somehow being jinxed! I don't know but somehow we got sooooooo many complaints regarding our staffs and....well, basically everything! This year is not a good year for us!
My weekend, I enjoyed it! I was out 4 nights in the row during the weekend (hence explained my exhaustion!). Thursday night, me and my brothers went to the Kiulap Mall and watched 'Congkak'! Honestly, it's not that scary. I think 'Jangan Pandang Belakang' is even scarier! Friday morning, we had a cleaning campaign in our clinic so I had to wake up bright and early to prepare some refreshment. I stayed in the clinic till 11.30am. That night, me and a friend went out and had dinner in one of the north indian restaurants and from there, I don't like the chicken tikka...it's not nice! Saturday night, we went out again and guess where we go? You know how Gadong and Kiulap areas are the hotspot areas hence we went out to the capital. Yup! Bandar Seri Begawan.....and it's even more lonely than KB town...yup! It's so true! Or maybe because it's the middle of the month, then everyone stay in and watched AF instead! Anyway, we walked - yup! walked - around Bandar Seri Begawan and stop to rest at the Bandar Seri Begawan Memorial, just opposite the Kg Ayer. And from there, I saw live how peple 'merambat' di Sungai Brunei....yea! Seriously, I never see 'merambat' secara live so that Saturday night, I discover another tradition night life in Bandar Seri Begawan. Cool eh! Sunday morning, me and my brother went to 'mengatam' padi organised by my department. I'm not very keen on 'mengatam' padi considering that I did that once, in Temburong and I didn't enjoy it. But my brother, being a city teenager, said that he wanted to try, hence we were out and about around 6.45am to Lamunin. The weather is not that hot but the air is kindda hot. We finished around 10am. Once I arrived at home, take a rest then took my shower. That afternoon, I sent my brother to the Mall and of course la, traffic jam. Sunday night, me and a friend went to out Jerudong Park and what can I say about JP? It's not what it used to be ages ago!
But the musical fountain was on that night and it's still nice to see...
Buzy weekend huh! I haven't watch the Forbidden Kingdom yet so I'm planning to go this week....hmmmm...we'll see!

Buzy Weekend

How did I spent my weekend?! Buzy...hectic...non-stop dan yang sewaktu dengannya. Hehe...
My initial plan was to stay at home and ironed all my clothes coz it had been ages I didn't do any ironing. Luckily, I got so many baju kurung (dan sewaktu dengannya) for me to wear to work. Besides, I'm working this Friday so I'm thinking, that weekend is the perfect time for me to get rest.
But....early morning, my mum woke me up saying that my dad 'bawa bejalan'. Sure, my dad can drive himself but somehow I think he got the habit to bring 3 of his children along wherever he wanted to go during the weekend. I asked him where he wanted to go and my mum said that she needs to buy groceries item while my dad wanted to look for shoes and jackets - he's going to KL soon, sometimes next week, I think or is it this week?! Hmm...
Anyway, we took off from home around 8.30am and went straight to Food Zone, Gadong Properties coz I'm craving to eat the dim sum! We stayed there till 10am and from there we went to Milimewah in Lambak coz my mum loves to shop her groceries there. From Milimewah, we went to Pertama Jaya and went to Jaya Hypermart and went to Giant!!! Haha! Told you it's a busy weekend for me.
In Giant, after all those jalan-jalan, I got hungry again and started to que up for the KFC. Man! Long que eh! My stomach grumbling and somehow the staffs of the KFC are quiet inefficient! Soooo..lambat! While queing up, I met Fatmah. This is the first time I saw her since 2004! She is a Bruneian fellow who happened to be attached with me while I was doing my inservice in National University Hospital, NUH, Singapore. She came to Singapore somewhere in May/June while me and the rest of my colleagues were scheduled to go home to Brunei in September. I asked her hows life there after we left and she said, it's lonely and quiet stressful! Yea! I know hows that feel. I mean it's quiet hard to mingle along with the competitive Singaporeans. But not all of them la...I mean, eventhough now that we are miles apart, I still keep in touch with most of my Singaporean friends.
After queing up for almost 20 minutes - yup! freaking 20 minutes - we went home. I told my dad that I'm so dead hungry already. By the time we came home, it's almost 2.30pm! An old old old ex-classmate messaged me whether I'm up for a dinner! Hmmm....I'm kindda tired and needly bad an afternoon nap, so I told him karang tah ku menconfirmkan.
Refreshed from my afternoon siesta, I messaged c Lias that I'm up for that dinner. Besides, it's been quiet a while I didn't see him. Our last meeting was when I just came back from Singapore and he just came back from UK, that was in 2004! Wah! Banyak yang 2004 came back into my life recently..hehe! But I had known c Lias seem like ages! Seriuosly! I mean, I even know him longer than I know my own bestie. And believe it or not, I had known c Lias for 18 years! Wow! That's long...don't you think so?! So I met c Lias for dinner and I came home only around 9.30pm!
Fewwhhh...what an exhausting weekend!

I'm not a big fan of a wagon but I have to say, this new Ford Mondeo wagon is handsome (the word that I use for cars!) The rear end of this wagon reminds me of Subaru Impreza STI wagon which was recently launched here in Brunei but the OTR price is freakingly alarming! The STI wagon cost like $60K+ and somewhat $1K+/month....feewwwhhh..talk about flashier car and flashier money *keeeccchhhiiinnngggg*

Once Bitten, Twice.....?
You know what I did this morning? I testdrive the new Ford Mondeo...*yippie* It's not officially launch yet but I just couldn't help myself. I know the new Ford Mondeo is super rugged coz I seen it in Singapore once while they were having their launching and exhibition. So when last week, a friend of mine who also owns a Ford Mondeo told me that the new Mondeo has arrived in Brunei, I asked him when it's gonna be launched. He told me 'sumwer early April'.
So today, I went there and asked. It probably will launch next Friday and the salesman, Ah Hing, is so kind enough to let me testdrive the Mondeo. Yea! It is super super cool and it comes with 3 types - the high specs, the low specs and the X edition. The high spec costs around $44K with 18-inch sports rim, blue-tinted glasses, chrome window panels and lights beneath the side mirrors while the low specs is around $40K with 16-inch tyre and without the blue-tinted glasses, chrome window and the lights. But I have to say, the high specs Mondeo blew my mind off!

But I have to say, the high specs Mondeo blew my mind off!
It's the combinations of Audi on the front, the lights like Lexus and Lexus by the sides and the rear, couldn't be that sure. But the interior, phhheewwww, super cool. The high specs uses digital montior which as Ah Hing mentioned, so far only used by the Lexus.
So far, 2 person already booked for the high specs Mondeo while 'some' booked for the low specs. I asked him whether can trade-in my 2002 Mondeo and he said, "Can.." but their mechanics got to have a look first. Hmmm....so now the question is....to buy or not to buy??? To trade in or not to trade in??? Honestly, I'm not thinking of buying another Mondeo coz with my present experience with my Mondeo, it's really a high maintenance European car - well apart from all those BMWs, Mercs, Rovers, Porsche bla bla bla....

Non-Halal Chicken Pao
Thursday, April 3, 2008
Seriously!!! I thought Brunei is very careful about their foods and their restaurants. But what I just heard in the news is quiet shocking! I mean, I'm not a big fan of WYWY and I never eat any of their chicken paos but I do eat there. I just didn't expect that they use pig enzyme in their chicken pao. So, that got me thinking, if they use pig enzyme for their chicken pao, what are the chances that they use the same ingredient for other food? Hmmmm.....
I think I better stop or my lunch would come out from where they come in.....

Weather - Wednesday 02nd April 2008
In some conversations, when you are mingling with someone of high social status and you don't know what to talk about, most people would talk about the weather! Funny right? But that's the truth.
Today, I'm gonna talk about the weather. It's not that I got nothing to talk about but somehow I can't help myself but to write about the weather.
How many of us looked up to the sky today and say Allahhu Akbar? Just menikmati keindahan yang Allah berikan kepada umatNya. Honestly, I do always look up to the sky - to see what the day would be like; shiny and hot or raining and wet. But this morning, from the moment I left my home till the moment I arrived in my office garage, I couldn't help but to look up at the sky and I said to myself, "what a very nice day today..."
Indeed, it's a nice day today. Okay, apart from the bright sunlight in the morning which made my eyes hurt. But that's it! Everthough the sun is shining very brightly this morning and hurts my eyes, still the day is beautiful! I'm an outdoor person and I love outdoor very much and sometimes I just wish that I work outdoor rather than being coped indoor with all the air conditioning! Yea! I know I'm weird! Many people would like to trade places with me but that's the thing, I'm not too good with indoor. I will get sinusitis and dry skin with all those air conditioning..weird but true!
And the day didn't dissapoint me. When I went out lunch with my bestie, I didn't complain of the weather. Oh no! The weather just fit perfectly! And it stays that way till I ready to go home. But by then the weather turned dark considering it's past 6PM! Yup! I went home around 6.15PM, had to stay for a meeting! Hmmm....work! work! work!
And mana lagi, on my way home, I stopped by to refill my fuel and on my way out, there is this Proton Satria reversed his car and I don't think he noticed I was behind him. When he didn't show any sign of braking, I have no choice but to honk my horn! Trust me, I rarely use my horn! Eeeeee...if anything happened tadi with my car, that Satria driver...hmmmm...*malas kan ceta*
An accident happened near the T-junction traffic light in Sengkurong / Kilanas; involving 4 cars - a Kia Carens, a Nissan Skyline, a Chervolet and a Nissan Patrol. It's a collision-on-collision accident I think. Dunno whose fault but I pity the Chervolet coz that car is badly damaged both front and rear - totally smashed! But Alhamdulilah, no casualties that I can see. The jam was not that bad as everyone is being considerate and move their cars rather than being a kepoh and stop. Being kepoh is okay when an accident happened IF you intend to help but if you just want to busybody, better not laaa...let the journalists do that. It's their job, btw!
Anyway, we had our inspection today! Urrrggghhh, that's what I was hinting in my last entry! Inspection is something you want to avoid if you are working in my environment 'coz the inspectors are ALWAYS looking for faults!! They never look at the things you had improved! No!!! They always look for something that you cannot answer! At least, their report would be longer and our report to them will be thrice longer!
Hmmm...so now inspection over, I will be relax for a couple of weeks before I will be start buzy again....doing what? REPORTS!!!
Btw, did I ever mention that I HATE doing reports? That's one of the reasons why I don't want to work in the office!!! Hahaha!!!

Toothache....
Tuesday, April 1, 2008
Okay! This is what happened if I take too much sweet! After overdosing myself with Strepsil last Sunday and Monday, now I'm suffering from toothache...hmmm...dugaan bagi yang sakit.
But I'm feeling better already. My throat doesn't sore as it was last Saturday except that my nose is still blocked! and I'm having SOB more frequent - oh yea! that's shortness of breath!

Car Signs / Stickers
I think it's the trend nowdays that you will see almost all the cars in Brunei have some sort of stickers or signs stuck to their windows or somewhere. Of course, aku mengata orang, I'm also the same. Mana mau ketinggalan with the 'modern trend' Hahaha! What's my signs said? Biarlah rahsia.....for those people who knows me, I think you have the idea what car signs I have.
Anyhow, car signs or stickers can be entertaining and dangerous at the same time. I'm not just bluffing or just to kill the time but I'm talking from experience. Me, myself and I being 'emotionally intelligence' almost all the time sometimes couldn't help but to read all the car signs that I came across with and 1 time, I couldn't read what the car signs infront of me, so I moved my car a bit further to the front...it's near to the rear of the other car but Alhamdulilah, nothing happened. See!!! That's how dangerous a car sign can be..hehe! Okay! I admit, it's my fault too but as I said, nothing happened!
This morning, I came across with 2 car signs that somehow doesn't make sense to me.
1. "Sadang-sadang tah jua kan berlaju saja ani" - An Innova has this sign and guess what? This Innova is right infront of me and he's speeding!! Hah! Talked about 'jgn tah kan berlaju'
2. "Alai sayang abangkan?" - This is a funny one. The first time I read it, I was like "Eh! Apakan?" Macam nda kena mengena saja. But then I was thinking, ahh, maybe the driver is asking the car. You know how men always treat their car as 'she' while we the ladies always treat the car as 'he'. So, untuk menyenangkan hatiku, I assume that the driver asking the car la...Btw, it's a Mitsubishi Grandis.
I was thinking when did I started to have this car signs and believe it or not, I started it when I came back from Singapore - that was in 2004! In Plaza Singapura (my destination every weekend), there is this shop that sells all this car signs. I remembered that time, I said to myself, it would be cool to stick this signs to my car and eversince then, I always have car signs on my car. Of course, I kindda chnage it every year coz I just feel like it....Hahaha!

Lousy Weekend
Monday, March 31, 2008
How's my weekend? Not good! Saturday morning, I caught a cold and its getting worst by the hours. Late afternoon I was snezzing non-stop and got not-so-high fever. Came home and ate my dinner and I went to bed around 7.30PM! Yup! 7.30PM and it's Saturday night but what do I care? I am sick and I don't care about my Saturday night anymore. Besides I am 'onleave' from performing the special duties, so I can sleep peacefully with the air-conditioning and the fan on! It's was so hot, can't blame me for being sick! My nieces came to sleep over for the weekend, as Trisya and Atul said 'before the school reopens....'. Luckily, they knew I'm sick so they stay out of my way and didn't bother me....Bless them...
Sunday morning, they woke me up just to kiss me good morning and kiss me goodbye as my parents - their grandparents - gonna bring them shopping and then send them home. With my fever, I didn't tag along. After having my bath (I'm a stubborn patient!), I took a breakfast and sat infront of the telly! Nothing interesting on the telly for Sunday morning, so I decided to do a movie marathon. I switched on the DVD player and I started with an Indonesian movie - BBB (Bukan Bintang Biasa); it's a nice movie and of course, it's the typical Indonesian teenage love movie but it's quiet entertaining for a sick person like me who got nothing to do! In the middle of BBB, my parents and brothers came home and my brothers joined me and watched the movie together! After done with BBB, we were arguing what movie to watch next; either Meet the Spartans (which we watched already the previous night!) or another Indonesian love movie, Ayat - Ayat Cinta (which my brothers said, '...boring tapi bini-bininya lawa....' hmmm..typical males). So I asked them whether they had watched the Ayat - Ayat Cinta completely or not and when they said no, I suggest we watch the movie till the end and well, they can't argue with a sick sister (which is useless, btw).
So, with my favourite pillow and a box of tissue (to wipe my running nose), we watched the movie. True! At first it's kindda boring but as we stay put and watched the movie, trust me man! you will definitly need a lot of tissues. Along the way, my box of tissue not only serve to wipe my running nose, it serves to wipe my tears and my bro's! Yup! It's a heart-wrenching movie! It lives up to its name - Ayat - Ayat Cinta - 'the words of love'. It's all about religions, loves, sacrifices and more loves! I love this movie. No wonder it received so many good reviews from the Indonesian celebrities.
We finished watching the movie around 3.30PM and my dad was ready to mow the lawn. My youngest brother asked me whether I had eaten the ice-cream that I bought last Friday in Giant. I looked and him and said, "Kan bercali?! Damam kali ah..." and he said that I better eat it by today or I won't manage to eat any at all. I dunno about my tastebud but honestly, I was craving for that triple chocolate ice-cream so as I said before, I'm the stubborn patient, I scooped the ice-cream and ate it! Don't care whatever happen tomorow as long as I can enjoy my ice-cream!
Now?!! Hahaha! Don't ask! I'm really suffering from my painful throat and I think I'm Strepsil overdose already! I took the Strepsil whenever I feel like it and my throat numb by it, which is good but the Strepsil only numbs it for 2 hours then the pain started again!
I was thinking of taking an MC today but being a considerate person, I know that there is no one to relieve me today, so me, being the tough lady (and some call bionic woman..hahaha) just work. Besides, I got tonnes and tonnes of work to do before Wednesday. What's happening this Wednesday?? Hmmm....just wait and see! Wonder what my colleagues' reaction if I take an MC on Wednesday? They must really freaked out! Hahaha! Just thinking about it is so funny!
Anyway, I spent the rest of last night finishing the latest novel by Aneesa Aleeya 'Untukmu Segalanya'. I think I got dark circles beneath my eyes due to 1. from the movie Ayat-ayat Cinta and 2. from the novel 'Untukmu Segalanya'..hmmm!
Btw, I got a new book shelf that I bought from Giant last Friday. And now I'm a happy bunny where my books are concerned but speaking of bunny, we (me and my family) just lost 5 bunnies last Saturday. One of my rabbits gave birth last Tuesday and somehow the mother doesn't want to nurse the bunnies, so we self-nurse the bunnies and they only manage to survive for 5 days *sob*sob*
Told you it's a lousy weekend!

Giant Craze!
The Giant supermarket is officially opened last Saturday and I warn you, for the people who doesn't like to be stuck in traffic jam, touched body to body with other people, PLEASE don't go there. At least, not for this 1 week! or rather this 1 year! Haha! But honestly, it's a mad mad world out there in Giant! Everyone and anyone wanted to know what's the fusses all about that they endured all those traffic jams, ques and all sort....
For me, I went there twice since it opened last 22nd March. The 1st time was the 2nd day it opened. The ques...fuhhh...better left unsaid and you can't shop in peace! Although it was hectic that day, my eyes managed to caught a bookshelf. It's a DIY book shelf and it costs $65.99 and I told my dad I wanted to buy that bookshelf (coz my books basically overflowing!). Dad told me, better don't buy now coz as I said before, it's a mad mad world in Giant at that time. So, I ended up not buying that bookshelf.
Last Friday, we went again there, around 11AM and suprisingly, it's not that hectic! Of course, the vast parking lot is full but it's not as hectic as it was last Sunday. First thing I look for was the bookshelf and in 1 week, the price came down from $65.99 to $49.99! I don't hesistate this time and pulled a trolley and take one of the remaining four!! Alas......I have a new bookshelf from Giant!!!!
For me, I went there twice since it opened last 22nd March. The 1st time was the 2nd day it opened. The ques...fuhhh...better left unsaid and you can't shop in peace! Although it was hectic that day, my eyes managed to caught a bookshelf. It's a DIY book shelf and it costs $65.99 and I told my dad I wanted to buy that bookshelf (coz my books basically overflowing!).

A Face to the Name
Tuesday, March 18, 2008
I was visiting novelist Rose Harrisa blogspot last night and I saw some potraits / sketches (whatever an artist called it). Her last entry she put up the latest hero for her next novel. I have to say, she does impress me. I mean, as far as I remembered, there is no novelist that really really draw the face of the characters involoved in the novels. Of course, they give detailed features of the hero and heroin but no one actually draw them.
I have to say, I love it and I found Ady Rafizal sketch in her blog. FYI: He's the hero in Cinta Mekar di Hati....Yummmyyyy!!!! Visit her blog by clicking the link under Fav Novelist

Good morning! Here I am sitting in a lonely Telisai. This place should come under the Lonely Planet. It's so quiet here hence the time that I have to blog...hehe! Ahhh...it's the pleasure that I always have every Tuesday.
Anyway, this morning I was initially pissed! From the moment I took off from my simpang, I was following this black Prado and infront of that Prado is a white Toyota Vios. And that Vios is sooooo damned slow. I mean, I'm not in a rush or anything but if possible, I want to avoid the hectic traffic in Jerudong.
So, kan masuk simpang Jerudong, this Vios took the right lane and me, thinking that he would finally loosen his feets and pressed the pedal, followed him while the Prado on the left lane. 2 lanes become 1, the Vios still infront of me, making the Prado behind me.
And can you imagine how slow this Vios driver is driving. I don't know what's his problem but he is too damned slow. Okay! That's twice I mentioned the 'unpleasent' word but then who cares? Then as we moved further into the Jerudong area, the lanes become 2 again and this Vios, so perasaan that his car is fast, still take the right lane. I was thinking of overtaking him but considering that on the left lane is a blue Hyundai Atoz and also slow, so I decided to be patience and tail really really close behind the Vios, hoping that he will get the hint and moved his damned ass!
But no! he didn't. So you know what? The Prado behind me, moved to the left lane and overtook the Vios realy really close. I mean, that Prado nearly created an accident with the Vios!!! Aku yang melihat di belakang ani pun, eeeeee.......
Once the Prado cut infront of the Vios, somehow this Vios driver wokeup and stepped on the pedals. I dunno bt I think he's mad or just feel challenged! But you know what? SERVES HIM RIGHT!!!! I applaud the Prado's moves...hahaha! And the 3 of us just zoomed along the Jerudong highway - Prado - Vios - Mondeo! Hahaha! But I had to step on the brake when the traffic light turns red where the Prado and Vios just run over it! I think better safe than sorry besides as I said before, I'm not in a rush or anything....
BT8844 - Next time PLEASE move your white ass if you want to take a leisure drive!!!!
