Happy 15th Of July

The 15th of July. A sincere historical date not to be forgotten but to merrily live it.

-An iWaly Original-

It comes with great pleasure greeting His Majesty Sultan Haji Hassanal Bolkiah, his 63rd Birthday this year.

''Semoga Allah melanjutkan usia baginda, melindungi & memberkati baginda dan seluruh keluarga baginda dan semoga kekal qarar memerintah negara''

-Amin-

P/S: Got the prayer from The Gokils.

Looking for some fun!

''The angry boy a bit too insane''

-Jumper, Third Eye Blind.

I guess the Weekend-fun is just not working for anyone this week since we are all advised to stay at home or atleast wear safety-masks when going out due to the rapidly increased H1N1 disease in Brunei. Rumor also has it that schools are not going to open this Monday =/

Well..all those depressing factors ain't gonna stop me from having my fun with TV sensation! lol. I managed to find a video of Jim Carey singing Third eye blind's Jumper from his movie Yes Man! 

Jim is not that bad in singing..Especially the part in 0:43..You'll laugh!!

Seriously you just got to Click Play

I am posting randomly today..So that kinda explains the picture..

And just for the record: Thats Sung Mingming's face =P

My fair share of complacent

''Another day..another casualty''

-When I'm gone, Simple Plan.

It totally was news tonight..
Having heard about the H1N1's 93rd case here in Brunei just got the fireworks popping inside my head. And not to mention the first death that the H1N1 has caused to a 12 year old local. Innalillah.

I was reading cousin Muaz's blog this morning about the certain Bruneian who stands ignorant towards the H1N1 disease. I think I should have my fair share of complacent on this. But seriously-I cant even believe our locals are acting this way. Some even remarked why they hangout at the Mall instead of staying at home although they are aware of the spreading H1N1 disease especially in crowded places. For instance:

A 13-year-old student, Nadheerah Affandy also said that the reason she was at The Mall was because she had nothing to do at home. "I am scared of contracting the virus here, but I would rather come out because there is nothing to do at home," she said, adding that she might think about staying at home for the rest of the week.

I've copied the above from an article of BruDirect..And It suprises the heck out of me..A person who rather spends swashbuckling time in crowded places than staying safe at home. And If I was the one interviewing her..I would reply something like ''You're just a downright disgrace if you asked me'' For good's sakes I will!

Yes people, that is what happens when my critics got loose. lol =P

And if you think that teenager's comment was'nt disgraceful enough..Wait until you hear what a parent has to say:

Parent, Zulkifli Hj Tengah, whose three children are in primary schools, echoed the same sentiments. "Although I am aware of the advisory by MoE, I do not feel scared bringing all my children here because it's a safe place to me."

Dont parents usually know better? But from this individual....where do i even get started?

If you wish to read the whole article, which I highly recommend, click here.
You'd be suprised to know just how ignorant people could be!

An Inspiration

''Your past does NOT have to equal your future''
-Tj Hoisington.

If fascinates me you know..
How a life story of a person can turn out to be an inspiration to many. Who am I talking about?
Is non other than the author of The Harry Potter Phenomenon: J.K Rowling. Well frankly, I am not much of a fan of Harry Potter and speaking technically, its not about her creation that I am majorly inspired of but instead her life-story before she became successful.

Long-story short, allow me to shed some light..
Before the Harry Potter Phenomenon was published, and before J.K Rowling became successful..She was known, to have dealt with poverty, unemployment and being a single parent. But still, all those deteriorating factors never had her giving in to her personal vision of publishing her books. Rowling was also known to made only $105 per week from Welfare. But in an effort to save every penny, she cuts back on meals and spent all day in local caffes to prevent heating bills at home. At the cafes, Rowling would write on note pads while her daughter Jessica napped besides her.

Determined Rowling was to complete her books and have it accepted although she has faced so much deprssion in her life. After waiting three years for a response, she finally published her book and the Harry Potter Phenomenon began! Over 250 million of her books have been sold world wide and Rowling was named the world best-paid authors of all time-with her worth reaching over one billion dollar!

There you have it folks, my source of inspiration! And the story also holds the phrase I've post above..Your past does NOT have to equal your future! It really suits great with the whole topic. Rowling knew she could do it and have a successful future although her past might seem downright depressing. If you think it does'nt work out then, it certainly does'nt mean It cant work out now. It all comes down to determination and from my own perspective it also involves self-believe. Thats why YOU of all people should be inspired by something you are sure of..
