Finally!

Have you guys heard the exciting news?

Avril Lavigne is officially (and finally) breaking up with her awstruck-rich husband Deryck Whibley! This one is real because she wrote it in her own blog. They've been a married couple for almost three years now and I guessed they're not enjoying each other's company anymore, which possibly led them to their seperation. Anyways..I think Avril is better off without her husband, she's been very quiet since she got married. She's not her usual rock-princess self anymore. lol =P

Move along Avril Lavigne!
Will be back with more updates =D

Drunk or just palying stupid?

Can you believe it? Kanye West interupted Taylor Swift's moment when receiving her VMA award for best-female videos last weekend. And I heard Jenny of Kfm issuing about this on air yesterday. Its one heck of a controversy, especially for this week. Check out the footage:

.
And if you're not satisfied of Kanye's demeaning behaviour that night...wait 'till you hear what President Obama has to say:

.
I mean..what is up with Kanye? He's a talented singer, a great rapper and all the sudden he showed up in Taylor Swift's spotlight saying things that shoul'nt be said especially in the publicity of a huge audience. Kanye sure faced a severe consequence when Obama had his say. Probably he's already burning in shame and remorse right now. lol =P

"I am not your friend"

It saddens me how some teachers would insist having a bad relationship with their students.
I mean...have you ever heard a teacher strictly saying "I am not your friend" to their class? Well I have and I don't mean to exaggerate assuming what that teacher said is only figurative, but don't you think it will send a negative message to their students? Follow me on this picture:

-literally though-

And if the teacher is downright strict..I doubt the students would have a good time sitting in the teacher's class. Well, I know a few teachers in my school who acquires a good reputation with their students, they did so by being a friendly sport with their class, thus they are treated much properly than the teachers who are otherwised. Anyone familiar with this theory: "In order for an educator to derive an attentive class..he/she must basically set up a good relationship with his/her students" Its true in so many ways. Well I'm not saying that teachers should'nt be strict with their students...no. It is inevitable of their strictness to part-in when they are teaching..but it is no harm to keep a good-sporting relationship between teachers and students. Come to think about it..whats the point of a teacher being furiously strict all the time? It would only spark hatred in the students' eyes.

P/s: If you are always referring to Wikipedia for your source of information..you might wanna click here. You'd be surprised to know just how many blunders Wikipedia obtain. =P

Swayze died yesterday?

It caught me by surprise:
"Legendary Patrick Swayze, aged 57, died yesterday on the 14th of September"

I took the liberty of uploading a picture of Patrick in the 90's

He was best known for his roles in the all time romantic movie Ghost.
And his death was the cause of a pancreatic cancer that he has been suffering since last year.

Well.. there goes another legend.

People In Need

Most of you guys might be familiar with the local community known as Sounds Of Hope.
I really admire the whole idea of the community, which is to fulfil his Majesty's vision of zero poverty in Brunei by the year 2035. The community consists of youth volunteers who engage themselves in activities such as visitting homes of needy people and persuade them to somewhat stand against poverty. Adding to this they also supported them with foods. I gave my fullest attention after first hearing about this.

"I feel there is a need for me to help these families in poverty, especially in helping them to build a new beginning"
Remarks of: The Founder of SOH.

-This is one of their most heart-touching poster-(Click to enlarge)

I feel like this is a good start to decrease the rate of poverty in the counrty. And this act should deserve the fullest of supports from the society, especially from the locals. You will always have my support thus i'm looking forward to be a part of this community like the rest of the volunteers but I intend to join in on a later date since I'm going through a peril right now (preparing for my nearing PMB exam)

-Wishing the community and it's supporters the best of luck-Especially in their upcomming charity gala event!

YE' GOODE OLE' THIMES!

Wow. The Eid is not until a few more weeks!

I am so looking forward to celebrate Eid this year since yesteryear we celebrated it in London for the very first time meaning we did'nt celebrate it traditionally. And we were far away from the family that we usually celebrate with every year thus making the Raya Spirit unperceivable by us. Although we did enjoyed the first day of Raya there with a few Bruneians from Newcastle whom we had never met before. Nonetheless we made it feel like we're celebrating it in Brunei by loitering around the living room and munching on some of the kuihs from Brunei and some cashews (peanuts) . And the funny thing is we had a dismay on what we were wearing since most of us wore the cara Melayu costume in a jacket or a sweater, well regarding the cold Autumn temperature outside. lol.

Ofcourse, we can hardly forget the family in Brunei. I remembered when we were Skyping (video calling) each other through the internet. I did it often with one of my uncles in KB and there was one time we were skyping with some of our relatives who were having Raya at my Grand's place. It totally was a memorable Eid. Unfortunately we did'nt took any pictures on the first day but my mind is still wired to it. Oh..I almost forgot, a big thanks to our Aunty zaLeha for rendering a good hospitality while we were there. YE' GOODE OLE' THIMES!

This is a picture that I had never posted before. Its a shot of us a family in Trafalgar Sq. London. Taken by one of the people there.

And..I'm so sorry for disapperaing all the sudden leaving this blog deadly redundant for almost 2 months. Notice my last post was on the 15th of July. lol. So I'm taking this oppurtunity to wish everyone a Happy Ramadhan since I did'nt got the chance to post it at first because of my exam.

Salam Ramadhan Al-Mubarak everyone!
