I wanna camp!

2010-11-28T05:47:00.000-08:00

Okaay.. why do I heard rumors that OGDC won't be organizing a camp this December like they usually do every year?

I was so looking forward to join this year's camping. Usually they've already advertised this event on newspapers and stuffs. I've been participating the camp there like 5 times already. And last year's was the best. I won two medals!

I just hope there will be camp this year. Maybe they're organizing it at a later date than usual as oppose to not organizing it at all anymore. I just hope so!

Verging on World War 3?

2010-11-23T17:17:00.001-08:00

Heard the news lately folks? Theres war raging between North and South Korea right at this very moment. Now theres also a post going around Tumblr about a person called Baba Vanga who predicted that World War 3 will commence this month. This prediction of her's can be related to the current war between the Koreans. Baba predicted that the war will begin like a normal war but will gradually include the usages of nuclear and chemical weapons. Coincidentally, North Korea posses Nuclear bombs and missiles, I have no doubt they're gonna use them against their opponents any time soon.

Now coming back to Baba. I was initially skeptical of her predictions until I made a brief research about her recently. She was a Bulgarian who was born in 1911. It seems that she has the paranormal ability to predict the future despite the fact that she was blind after being swept away by a tornado. Gasp. Well at least she lived a long life, she died in 1996.

It was also reported that Adolf Hitler had visited Baba at her house, maybe to let her read his future. When Hitler exited her house, he wore a sad face. It might be because by then he already knew his coming attempt to control the world won't be much of a success. lol.

Baba made alot of predictions that came true:

One of them was in 1989, she quote:

"Horror, horror! The American brethren will fall after being attacked by the steel birds. The wolves will be howling in a bush, and innocent blood will be gushing."

Obviously this is related to the September 11th incident of 2001 where the US WTC was attacked by terrorist planes. 'Bout the part where she said something about wolves and bush, I think that has something to do with the US President that time, G.Bush.

She also predicted that the 44th US president would be a black man. And hey, that explains alot about Obama being the current president. Unfortunately she also said that Obama would be the last US president as she quote "America will freeze up and go down in spectacular economic crisis." -yikes.

Oh thats not the last of her predictions. You'd be surprised by what you're about to read next. More of her predictions of the coming future! (Source) And lemme tell you, it doesn't get much better.

Guess Who?

2010-10-03T01:03:00.000-07:00

This is a merely rare photo! I'm guessing its not going to be much of that anymore since I'm posting it in my blog for the whole world to see. ha!

Still can't guess who? Its Mr.Lambert for crying out loud. Working in Starbucks!

I reckon in the photo Adam is still in his pre-idol high school years. He looks a little chubby no? And not to mention blonde. lol. If you ask me, this is the original Adam. The current Adam is smokes and mirrors; Adam used to be snow-white blondie till he dyed his hair black and tanned his skin. Oh, and in one of his radio interviews last year, he had mentioned that he used to be a hefty high school kid weighing more or less 250 pounds! I'm not sure if he was exaggerating or not, but 250lbs is like equal to 110kg or something. Thats like almost twice my current weight. But just look at Adam right now, god knows what he did to himself to lose those excessive pounds.

-That Glambert 101 is brought to you by iWaly.- :P

Oh and here's another rare picture of Adam during his childhood years:

I especially dedicate this part of the post to Syuhada! HEHE.

Adam is on the right-hand side. I'm not sure who the other person is. Could be an old friend. Could be his brother? Wait, does Adam even have a brother? :B

Glambert 101

2010-10-02T03:38:00.000-07:00

Damn! Adam Lambert is currently in Singapore. Thats like.. really close to Brunei. Well duh.. :b

This was at the Grand Prix Padang on the 25th of September. Ergh. Even if I was given a free ticket to the concert, dad would so not allow me to go. Not at least till I'm eighteen. Which I will be just less than 3 more years from now. NYEHEHEHE!

I just wish Adam included Brunei in his 2010 internation Glam Tour at the first place. Sigh. Oh come on Adam, be as sporting as Maher Zain and come to Brunei already!! lol.

Oh Brother

2010-10-01T00:36:00.000-07:00

Our brothers:-

Notice any resemblances?

I doubt theres much between me and my brother. except the clothing.

lol.

October, please be good to me. :)

Procrastination

2010-09-30T00:19:00.000-07:00

If I am lacking post updates in this blog (like nowadays) it either means I have an exam and I have to be prepared or simply because

life is not treating me right!!!!!!

p/s: I wonder if Tumblr is any fun?

2010-09-29T23:59:00.000-07:00

This is the front cover picture of the Fourth installment of the Gone Series. Bound to be published next year! Guess I still have time to finish reading the Third Installment. I'm barely halfway through the book. Its A.W.E.S.O.M.E.!

2010-09-16T18:38:00.000-07:00

Here's a big shout out to all of my international visitors/readers!

-Because according to my blog's live activity feed, I have lots of em!-

HELLO YOU GUYS!

And oh! I've been meaning to say this! You can find me on Google at the first result (or most probably second -sometimes) if you Google: iWaly. Especially in web browsers such as Yahoo, Bing, Avant, etc. My blog will be on top of all other results regarding your search of iWaly. Anyway.. don't click on any websites that depicts that iWaly is a word short-formed for I Will Always Love You. HAHAHA, i know right! I recently realized that as well. :p

Oh Raya!

2010-09-12T17:42:00.000-07:00

Okay to be honest, I'm just lazy to blog today. So I'm just gonna post some pictures from the previous days of raya, mostly from the first and the second day. These are just a few of the dozens from Facebook. Just check out my profile if you wanna see more.

This is the little family on me ma's side.

This on the other hand, is me pa's. See the difference in the number of people between the two pictures? lol.

Cousins.

More cousins. :p

With Ammar and Oshin.

UH. :b

HAAA! Lame~ but I still kinda like it.

Okay thats the end of it. Maybe I'll add some more if I'm not as lazy as today. No promises. lol.

Besuk Raya Kaliah!

2010-09-09T04:37:00.000-07:00

The official announcement hasn't been made yet on RTB about when Raya would fall for this year. But I already know when. I've got my sources. And Its tomorrow, baby! Trust me. :P

:::::

Selamat Hari Raya to all.

And to all

Maaf Zahir Batin!

-Syafi Al Waly & Family

Enough said! Got a hellotta things to do before leaving for Grand's house at Kb tonight. I'm sure most of you guys are busy yourselves preparing for the festive day since I reckon most of you assumed raya would fall on Saturday. hah! Can't wait for the fireworks tonight.

Waly is out~

Inalillah Wa Ina Ilaihi Rajiun

A classmate of mine -but nonetheless a good friend- had passed away yesterday after a tragic car accident taken place somewhere in Seria. Her name is Amirah Nabilah binti Yussof. She was only 15 years old.

Let us all take a moment of silence to recite Al-Fatihah to her.

My condolences especially goes to her and her family.

_________________________________________________________

I was watching a dvd that late afternoon when I received a message on my phone from Dosh saying he heard rumors that Amirah had passed away. At first, ofcourse I didn't believe, though my heart was pounding oh so very fast.

So I went to check on Facebook -the only convinient source that allows me to communicate with my friends at such short notice- and was damn surprised to see people talking about her on hundreds of Wall Posts, yet not one of them was entirely sure about her passing away. My house happened to be situated just a stone throw away from her's and with a wireless phone in my hand, I quickly called Dosh as I literally ran to my backyard. Thankgod the signal was satisfying enough. I viewed her house from that distance and saw a lot of cars parked around it. That itself wasn't a good sign. Dosh believed likewise. I instead went back into my house when I should've gone to Amirah's at the first place, I don't know, at that point my brain was throbbing and my mind was totally bobbled. I can't think rationally.

After ending my call with Dosh, I then called Zqah Mesli. Both of us were literally shouting on both ends. Serious nutcase situation as Zqah was being Miss I-So-Don't-Believe-You. Atlast, my parents came back from god knows where and told me to get dressed up as they were about to bring me to Amirah's house. I was scared, although at that moment I had the feeling she was already gone. As we reached there, lots of people were gathering around outside and her dad who eventually came to greet us, had confirmed that Amirah had passed away and her body was still inside the house. That fact made my brain throb more, adding to that my hands were shaking. I almost had a nervous breakdown when her dad told us details about the accident.

-OMG I'll be back! I swear. I just realized that I have a dental appointment at Panaga (ergh time dakat raya jua lah)-

Okay I am back. Where was I? oh yeah. On second thought, I'm not gonna shed the details of her accident here for some reasons. Go fish somewhere else. Only this would suffice: The accident was critical and severe. Anyway, her dad said we can go inside to see Amirah. I insisted not to, for some reason that associates what that accident has done to Amirah. I just can't stand those kind of things, if y'know what I mean. I only stood at the doorway catching only a brief glimpse of her body, covered by a tarp. And that was the last I saw her.

Her mom, who was also involved in the accident is recovering in the Kb hospital ICU. Alhamdulillah.

Well Amirah, its been nice knowing you. You will uneasily be forgotten, I swear for you are such a good friend to me and many more. You always said keep smiling and keep shining, I will. And I will always keep that in mind. Goodbye Amirah. Semogo roh mu dicucuri dengan rahmat Allah dan disimpan disisi orang2 yang beriman. Amin Amin. :')

Unbelievable: Burn a Koran Day

2010-09-06T20:03:00.000-07:00

Watch this video if you haven't!

I just knew about this from Facebook.

Wow, I don't know about you guys, but I think this guy went just a little too far. Not only is he promoting the international burning of the AlQuran day but he also authored this book called Islam is of the Devil. By the name of the book itself, we (especially muslims) find it offensive and provocative. And thats just the book cover, not yet the written contents inside the book.

He is a christian named Terry Jones. Obviously he hates our religion. Just because of the September 11th incident in USA which they believed is supposedly of islam's fault. I dare not to say anything foul about his religion for I acquire my utmost respect to it. But as for the man himself, I do like to stamp the words: Epic Fail on his forehead.

He said in the video that AlQuran is not a book of peace. But he and his community's attempt to burn the AlQuran is not gonna create much peace and serenity either. But rather hatred between the two involved religions. As a matter of fact, the Bible (likewise the AlQuran itself) allows the freedom of religion. So what Terry here is basically doing is standing against his own religious constitution. Enough said.

I'm glad to see that Terry's provocative attempt is not receiving much support from the people worldwide. But rather alot of foul responses and feedbacks especially from some of the christians themselves who, from various sources I picked out, believed that Terry is over-reacting and is making a fool of his religion, let alone himself.

The international burning of the AlQuran day is gonna take place on this 11th of September, just a few days from now. It also happens to be the festive Raya for all of us muslims worldwide.

I just can't stand the idea of us celebrating Raya but knowing that Terry and his followers around the world are burning the AlQuran on that very day.

Whats on Tv?

2010-09-05T18:07:00.000-07:00

Tv, which comes second after the internet (for me, ofcourse) is something that I frequently indulge myself into ever since the start of the holiday. Although, I seldom put my attentions to astro nowadays since: A) Everyday tv must be tuned to Disney Channel (worse yet -Playhouse Disney) for my rather demanding 5 Year Old sister. B) Dad installed a Prabola in the house. HEHEHE.

I have to admit, at first I was being a downright skeptic as to why dad insisted on subscribing for a Prabola, which is just full of indonesian programs, channels and particularly dramas. Ofcourse, that was me being a stereotype. However, it didn't take me long to fell into the charms of indonesian media. Seriously. I am a daily home audience now and you should see me weeping (just kidding :p) if I ever miss an episode of my favorite tv serires. lol. One of them is Arti Sahabat:

I really like the whole idea of the show: Its based on a group of high-school friends who obtained a tight relationship among themselves, some of them even fell in love with one another. But then came a new guy and the crew of friends befriended him and gradually the crew broke up against one another for some reason that has something to do with the new guy. Then some of my fave characters are up to solve the problem and gather back the friends but uh, okay I'll stop here. Trust me I can go on and on about the storyline, but realizing that I may already possibly bore you to death with what I've just written, I rather not. hahaha.

Anywaaay, heres something slightly apart from that.

To all of you Avatar: The Last Airbender fans out there, I'm sure you've acknowledged that there is *another animated Tv Series about the continuity of the Avatar story. What I meant by that is not about Aang and his friends anymore but rather a new Avatar, the one after Aang, her name is Korra and she is a waterbender.

**The creators of this upcoming Tv series are of the same guys who created Avatar: TLA. But as opposed to making the fourth season of that series, they decided to create a new one, a new series. With new plots, characters and sensation. In other words, its relatively different comparing to Avatar: TLA. And is bound to premiere next year.

Heres the only picture that associates that new show. I wish they'd give something more specific than this. Curiosity is especially killing me! lol.

Hello

2010-09-04T16:56:00.000-07:00

I'm back. I might not seem very active with my post updates, obviously, but I'm logged onto my blog almost everyday doing the littlest things that you might not come to realize in the blog, for example, I've removed some links of certain bloggers that have deleted (no, not inactivated) their blog or having a private blog, but not making me an invited reader. HAHA. seriously. I've also come to realize that some great-read blogs are lacking updates since last year. Why oh whhhhyyy? lol. I should ask myself the same question months ago when I was lacking updates myself. :p

And just as I was reactivating my blog, Syuhada on the other hand, is deactivating her's. hmm.

Apart from that, I came across this poster at Rano:

I feel like participating in the Secondary School Category, topic: Making Brunei Cleaner & Greener. I mean how easy can that possibly not be? I've also obtained some more informations about the competition: and the winner of writing the best essay would receive $500, an Acer Notebook Laptop, get their essay published in Brunei Times and surprisingly even more! What a great deal.

And I wonder if I can participate in the Open Category as well? The topic is a little challenging though, but since I'm a competitor -natural somewhat (:b) Why the heck not? hehehe. I'll see.

Its Here, Finally!

2010-09-02T18:29:00.000-07:00

Hello again everybodyh. I promised you before that I'd give updates, so heres one of them:

My book has finally arrived! WOHOOOOOOOO. Thanks alot to my dearest friend Zqah Mesli. I asked her to order it online and it came just 3 weeks later. Ofcourse I have to pay her, $36 just for the book itself needless to say. However I've only paid half of the money. hehe. I'll pay the rest of my debts soon Zqah. :D I'd asked mom and dad to order it for me, but they said their Amazon card expired or something. And searching for this book in local bookstores is not an option. Good luck finding it if you will. lol. Anyway, y'wanna know more about the book? Clickhere. I made a post about it just a few months ago.

I haven't started reading the book though. Even though I am utterly eager to do so, just that at the moment I haven't finished reading my copy of The Devil Wears Prada and this other book. So if I started my readings on Lies right now, it'll totally dwarfed the other two books and I will totally lost interest on them. This kind of situation happens all the time with me, which would explain my vast collection of semi-finished reading books. haha.

You know what else arrived at the same day as the book? My first ever contact lenses. lol. I ordered it from an agent via another friend of mine. The contacts were imported directly from Korea. Its just like one of those yellow Edward Cullen contacts, but a little more brownish. Anyway my friends forced me to use them on that very first day it arrives (which was at school) and coincidentally we were gonna get our class photo taken that time. So the fact that I am totally inexperienced with contact lenses, let alone wearing them, is not a good omen for me to use it that very day. But with the help of my friends who after a thousand and one attempts managed to literally put both contacts into my eyes which unfortunately made me end up looking like a rather sadist vampire for my 2010 class photo. HAHAHA.

End.

I'll be back! :)

Here We Go Again

2010-09-02T17:09:00.000-07:00

Hello civilized people.

I am baaaaaaaaaaacck! :D

And I brought with me a new change in my blog. I know, I know, 3 months ago I fulfilled my wish of flourishing this blog with colorful attempts here and there just to indicate that my blog is going for a new change. But I just realized recently that colors and stars are so.. so not me y'know. Thats why I'm sticking with my traditionally formal and systematic kind of look. It rocks |m|

Anyway, hows the whole Panorama Of My PreAdult Mindset working out for you guys? lol. Lemme give you a brief vocabulary lesson: Panorama = A very clear picture. PreAdult = Life prior to adulthood. Mindset = Identity, character, ascpect. So basically Panorama Of My PreAdult Mindset is just another complicated way of saying A clear picture of my teenage personality. Not bad eh for my first attempt? lol. And don't you just love the word Panorama? I can say it over and over again and never feel bored cause I'm in love with it! haha.

And oh SELAMAT BERPUASA EVERYOOOOONE!! Although we're only a few days away from Raya. :b

I'll be back with more updates in my next post.

Just so you know

2010-06-28T05:06:00.000-07:00

Happy 3rd Year Anniversary iWaly™ :)

Well thats basically what I wanted to say for today's post.

Apart from that, here's Adam Lambert for all of you Glamberts out there. And oh Syuhada, you're no exception in this. lol

Its a personal favourite of mine. Its not his latest song though, neither if it is a hit in the music chart. But its fantabulous enough for me. Especially given the fact that it's actually Lady Gaga's song. Adam made a studio cover of it and included it in his album 'For Your Entertainment' last year. The song really suites him perfect (Y) If you give this song a listen, than you'll totally agree with me.

Something Colorful

2010-06-26T06:04:00.000-07:00

So hows the new look working out for you guys?

I know its somewhat weird to see my blog in this colorful manner, since I've been keeping iWaly black and too formal for the previous months.

Its about time I put this blog in renovation. Thats why I'm taking this weekend to set a new template for this blog with the help of Blogger's new Template Designer. Its really simple as opposed to downloading templates from the internet like I usually do. And for a change, I'm throwing the old goth look away and replace it with a background that empowers a colorful friendly environment, simple thus less formal. But most of all, something totally different.

Whats with the change? Well most probably the fact that iWaly is on the verge of reaching it's 3rd Year Anniversary this coming Monday. Can you believe it? Its been 3 years! I'm not counting from when I first created this blog, I'm counting from the first ever post I've published in this blog. You can find it in in my post archive somewhere.

So anyway, its no big deal really. 3 years ain't that long. Just that, I like the idea that I've grew up 3 years older with this blog. And all the things that happened through out that period is posted in this very blog. So practically this blog is filled with personal memories. And I'm generous enough to share them with you people. nyehe :b I think I'm gonna keep blogging as long as I'm still alive. When I'm like 50 or something with a wish to reminisce upon my past, I can just browse my post archive to read and observe how much of a douche I was when I was younger. lol!

I've made quite a reputation with this blog. But I'm really sorry I can't keep you people entertained enough anymore because of the seldom updates. hehe. Oh yeah, I've also befriended a few bloggers whom I'm never met in my life before. Just like to say thank you for being friendly and still keeping in touch with me and my blog. And to my readers as well. Thanks!

Well uh, I guess this is all. I've already spent too much time decorating my blog. Now time for me to hit the hay. Ciao :)

The Gone Series

2010-06-03T18:08:00.000-07:00

So heres a thing about this post, its gonna make me sound like a total geek! lol. I can't believe I'm turning into one of those book worms that only feed on the words of the book they're reading. Okay I'm exaggerating, so what! :)

Among all the books that I've read, here's a personal favourite of mine:-

I've posted a review about this book last year. You can search for it in my post archive. So far, I have to say this is the best book I have ever laid my readings on. It was so great, that I had a second read on it this year. I guess this book only has it's effect on certain teenagers who enjoys sci-fi and all those alike. But I don't think adults would enjoy it that much.

Why? Because in the book (and they quote); "In the blink of an eye; Everyone disappears. GONE. Except for the young, Teens, Middle schoolers, Toddlers. But not one single adult. No teachers, no cops, no doctors, no parents. Just as suddenly, there are no phones, no internet, no television. No way to get help. And no way to figure out what's happened"

I mean, how attention catching is that? But the story doesn't end in that book. Theres a second installment:-

Doesn't make much of a surprise that I've already read this one too. Last month. It was one of the six books that I bought form Uk this year. I gave one to ZqahMesli cause I know she's more of a bookworm than I am. HA! Okay so anyway, this sequel is no match comparing to the first one. But still it made it to my list of must-read-again books. lol.

The storyline of this book is relatively different from the first as it gets much more disturbing, breath taking and more blood spilling. I mean, all the kids have gone totally wild and nuts what with the fact that some of them developed some kind of power that you can actually relate to the characters from the tv series: Heroes. According to the author, the book was inspired by Heroes, Lost and Lord of the flies by Stephen King. If you have actually watched those stuff, you might get a clear picture of how the book is.

But still, as good as it gets, the story still hasn't ended after two series of books. Because theres a third installment:-

And oh maaan! I haven't gotten this one! It's the latest series, published last month!

I want it! No, I need it! The fact that Stephen King, one of the most known author, has written a review saying that he actually loves this book, made it much more of a temptation for me to buy it's third installment this very instance. I was thinking of ordering online from ebay or amazon or something. Because I have no doubt that you cannot find the book in Brunei's Best Eastern. I've tried searching for the first two series in local bookstores, no luck. I ended up buying from some other country instead. lol.

Oh yeah, the book has it's own trailer too. How awesomely cool is that?!:

Rumour has it that there's a fourth installment comming soon. It's called Plague. Can't wait :D

If you're ever interseted, just Google: The Gone Series and find a way to get it somehow. What? you think I was gonna say something like: "You can always borrow it from me?" Ofcourse not. HAA! Although I do have a few people waiting in line for me to lend them the books. Dream on people! lol. :p

Summer?

2010-06-02T17:57:00.000-07:00

hellooooo holiday!

Oh god! Its been a hectic week, what with all the tensions and pressures of the mid-year exam. I have no doubt everyone at the point of still-schooling received their fair share of what I've just gone through. I'm telling you, this whole Year 10 syllabus is haaaard! although we've barely made it halfway. Now that its all over, atleast for this term, everyone especially moi' is relieved just to get our mind off those theories and calculations and just sit back, enjoy the holiday. And thank god our class doesn't have extra lessons over this holiday. Wohoo! :)

I haven't really planned anything to do though, its not like I've got one of those 1,001 things to do during this holiday, well other than watching my excessive collections of un-watched Dvds. ha! Or probably extending my guitar lesson via the internet or read my books (no not school books :p) Or maybe, the most important thing of all: Loosing my weight. Oh yeah, I'm also thinking of continuing my excerise at the bsrc gym, wow, been a whole month since I last did that. Hey, on second though, I do have alot of things to do. What do you know. lol. I was initially thinking of posting one of my book reviews today, but I found out I can't upload any pictures to my blog anymore. Why the heck is that? err. I'll try to see if I can fix that sooner or later.

So has anyone watched Glee ep. 20 yet? Well I have! :p It won't be in Starworld till another 2 weeks. But I'm telling ya, Glee was entertaining at it's best! The songs they covered in this episode are just awesome! Here's a clip:

oh, HAPPY HOLIDAYS EVERYBODYH!!

Miss me yet?

2010-05-01T11:43:00.000-07:00

Hello people :)

Okay so it seems that I am no longer active with my blog, obviously. Its really disapointing, I know. However, I'm keeping an active update of myself and my daily life in Scot on Facebook. Yes yes, everything comes down to Facebook. Seriously.

Anyway, just feel free to add me up on Facebook. Its Syafi Al Waly.
And having said that, I just wanna make it clear that, that is my real name. I dont really know why some people keep babbling about me using a fake name on Facebook. Whats so fake about my real name anyway? And to make it more clear than anything else and for the satisfaction of some, my full real name is Ak Md Syafi Al Waly. There, you happy? See, now I myslef is turning into one of those babbling queens. Yikes!

Ohh wait, it seems that I am not gonna be updating anything about Scotland anymore, cause I'll be leaving tomorrow for London. But Scotland was full of it! By 'it' I mean everything fun and awesome! Its sad we have to leave this place :(

Okay okay I'm stopping. Got some packing to do. And dont forget to add me up on Facebook. Bye! :)

Hello Scotland!

2010-04-25T22:28:00.001-07:00

Its our 3rd day here in Perthshire, Sctoland. I might as well update this blog and put a stop to my inactiveness :p

So anyway, our journey from Brunei to Scotland took us about 24 hours! (Yes, 1 friggin day) Literally! Counting our 16 hours of flight and in between a transit in Dubai. But that only made us to Heathrow, London. Yes we had another transit in
Heathrow and we have to wait 5 hours just for the next plane to Edinburgh,
Scotland. After the friggin long wait, we finally made our way to Scotland via
the Brittish airlines which took us about 1 hour's time. When touched down in
Edinburgh, dad fetched us up there. Yes as I said before he was already in Scot
3 weeks prior to us. Because he's undergoing one of his yearly studying course
in uk.

Anyway, to get to Perthshire (our final destination) from Edinburgh, its another long drive. But luckily dad owns one of those rent cars, so we made our way via that. But dad took us for a roam in Edinburgh despite us being tired and weary and the fact that we haven't even showered for a day throughout our journey. But it fancies me! alot! having to go around on the heart of Scotland on our first day.

Yeap. This one was in Edinburgh. Its my first day in Scot and I already made
friends with a Scotsman. Ha! :p
So currently we're staying here in Perthshire. This place
isn't so bad itself. Let alone the fact that we live in an appartment just
across the street of some series of shops including Marks & Spencer, Next
and best of all: WH Smith. Yes as you've figured it out: Its a book store. A
book store that has somewhat a mini library in it's upper floor. So anytime I
get bored in the appartment, I'll simply escape myself to WH Smith :)
Initially we were put to live in one of those country cottages but somehow it didn't happen. Which was a good thing, because if it does happen, I wouldn't even be blogging right now due to the exception of Wi-Fi's there. And also the exception of some shopping centres around the place. Which basically comes down to the word: Boredom. Seriously. I went for a visit to the cottage itself last night. But come to think of it, it wasn't all bad considering the natural beauty of the surroundings. But I still prefer living in suburbs, especially in Scotland :)
Ok i gotta go. Bye!

Goodbye Brunei! :)

2010-04-22T08:00:00.000-07:00

Okay so for those of you who are wondering, my flight to Uk tomorrow is confirmed! :D

And for those of you who doesn't even have the slightest of idea on what I'm talking about here, just refer to my previous post. Out of all that junk that I've babbled in that post, the important details are somewhere in paragraph 3 or something. ha.

I don't wanna blog much today as I've got a hellotta packing to do. Seriously. And I just came back from our last minute shopping. lol.

Au revoir Brunei and pray for us a safe flight! :)

ps: Don't you just love my posts when it's all colorful and less serious. HA!! :p

pps: HAPPY EARTH DAY EVERYBODY!

Hoping the best, but expecting the worst.

2010-04-19T23:22:00.000-07:00

I've been keeping myself updated with the latest news about the volcanic eruption happening in Iceland at this very moment. I'm telling you, its getting worse each and everyday! And what seems to be the big deal about this? Just the fact that all the ariports across europe are closed down till godknowswhen due to the massive ashes that the volcano unleashes into the air. Why should I be so downright concerned about this? Well simply because I have a flight to catch this Friday (like, uh.. 3 more days from now) to UK, as I said in my previous post. That is the reason why I'm all stressed out as if its Monday everyday. No, make that Tuesday, because Tuesday for me, is the new Monday. Shiz!

So anyway, we were supposed to start packing yesterday, but we haven't even laid out a single cloth yet given the fact that our flight to UK is abruptly un-confirmed. Its not cancelled, just hindered and delayed. But if its gonna remain like this for weeks and weeks to come, than that would officially seal the cancelation :(

Yadayada.. I might as well tell you where I'm specifically going since I already told you about our UK flight. If it is gonna happen, we will be travelling to Perthshire, Scotland and London, England. Unlike 2008, I stayed for about a month but only in London. This time its 1 country per week. Which means a week in Perthshire and another in London. Which also means its gonna be downright hectic as we'll be using as much of our free time to roam around these said places. And its gonna be a little challenging too since my dad won't be with us on our flight to Scotland. Because he'll be waiting for us there, yeah he's already in Scotland. He's undergoing his yearly studying course again in the UK, so that kinda explains the whole thing :)

So I've just done reading an article about the latest of all latest news about the volcano. Apparently now some electric force started developing in one of it's recent eruption. Its obviously getting stronger and now it can make lightning bolts sting out from it's crater, literally. (I'll try to upload the photo, later)

But, I did came across a good news. Looks like due to all the protests made by the grounded passengers all over europe, airport in Heathrow (London) is now allowing limited flights for those said passengers. They're also receiving certain flights from Asia. Thankgod!

But still, chances of our flight being canceled is very high, not unless the volcano's ashes in the air wears off within these few days before my flight. I hope it does y'know and all those closed down airports would be back on track. Lets just hope so.

This is so not happening

2010-04-17T08:02:00.000-07:00

I might as well be concerned about this since i'll be travelling to UK again this comming Friday.

More details about that on my next post. As of right now, I just wanna burry my head into my pillow and scream like no one's business. And I should probably pray too. 0:)

Furthermore, congratulations usu Ben (who hasn't even updated his blog since godknowswhen) and his wife, usu Fiqah for the deliverance of a newborn baby girl this morning. Another cousin: checked! :D

Hatter's Futterwacken

2010-03-21T18:21:00.000-07:00

Managed to catch Alice in Wonderland yesterday, at the cinema. And dear Syuhada! You might wanna read my review, cause I know you're somewhat a fanatic of the movie =D

I have to say, the movie didn't turn out quite the way I had expected. Infact, most of the things in that movie didn't turn out quite the way I had expected. Which I find it rather disappointing than amusing. Yes -Boo me as if I'm Simon Cowell on a critical idol night. lol. Anyway, the movie is more of a sequal to the first (original) Alice in Wonderland story -regardless- whether you've read it in the book or watched that old animated movie of it in Disney channel. In this movie -Alice came back to Wonderland -I don't know, when in her 20's i guess- and didn't even remember of her first visit to Wonderland few years ago (seriously -why did the movie makers made her forget) And now when she came back, all of them living creatures in Wonderland (that has met Alice before) was like "this is so not Alice. Nu-uh" and Alice was like "I'm so Alice uh-huh, but who are you?" HAHAA. okay so I modified that dialogue abit. So what? =p

However, the most noticed-boring parts of the movie was when Alice changes in size. At a moment Alice was small because she drank a weird potion of some kind. And at another moment she became bigger by eating this small cake. But that wasn't the end of her altering sizes in that movie. Because it was followed by more eating and drinking of those weird things, thus Alice was like big and small and big and small throughout the movie, wait i think she was medium sized in the ending. But STILL.

Well in conclussion, I won't say that the movie was rottenly bad, because it totally was not. It was entertaining and fun nontheless -especially when Hatter made his hit Futterwacken dance - just that, for me, the stoyline was well..a bit narrow and crooked. Wish it was more like the original Alice in Wonderland. I guess the movie makers have their reasons why they didn't made it as so. But uh -this is what I think. I dont know about you guys. And dear Syuhada, hope I didn't brought your hopes down about the movie by shedding all it's flaws. lol.

And OHH! I am so looking forward to watch this movie:

Its also known as the Avatar. I've been following it's animated series in Nickelodeon since last year. Theres something quite distinctive and creative about it that made it stand out from the other animated series. Totally. And I can't believe why Dev Patel, that guy from Slumdog Millionaire, has to play the role of Zuko in the movie. Zuko is a descendant of the chinese Fire Nation. CHINESE. Dev is Brittish-Indian. Which won't make any sense if he is to play the role of a chinese descendant. Unless! Unless the movie makers changed the Fire Nation to a descendance of indians. On the contrary, that'll be intersting. I'm still gonna watch it, regardless. Til next time, people!

The Good News!

2010-03-17T23:02:00.000-07:00

As I've said in my previous post, we had just finished our 1st assesment this morning and the exam today was Geography. Well Geography was alright, feel I can trap that credit point easily. Okay so thats not actually the good news which I am talking about.

It started out when I am just minutes away after I've finished my Geo exam, Mr.Suresh, my english teacher, walked to my table and starts talking about how well my english-assesment composition was. I was like "uh-huh". And then he said he wants me to re-write it because he wants to print it into the School Magazine. Then I was like "Owwwwh". And he kept talking on how well I organized the storyline and it was the best compostion he'd read so far and yadayadayada.

I did'nt even see that comming. The last thing I remembered was that my compostion was full of strokes and blanco pastes all over. So I asked him "wasn't my compostion a little too messy?" and started explaining to him that I did'nt have much time to write the compostion til' 600 words. But then he said its okay and more about how well I composed. Lastly I thank him for his cool praisings =)

Well truth be told, I don't even remember most of the things that I've composed in that composition. I do remember that I was writting it as if I was blogging. I mean with all funny phrases and un made-up facts. All the way straight forward. But anyway, I do remember that I really nailed the ending. The topic I chosed was "Scenes and sounds during breaktime" (I know-its kids stuff) and at the ending I pulled back the words of the topic and wrote it down with some more continuations. Its like this:.............because its the scenes and sounds of life, in my school. And there you have it-BAMM! A story about breaktime with an ending so hearty and deep within only a few words on a few lines. That, my fellow readers, is how I role! =D

Okay I'll stop here. Happy School's Out Holiday people!! =)

School's Out

2010-03-17T22:14:00.000-07:00

Two words people, two words; School's Out!

Hello readers. 1st assesment is over just hours ago and I am back from hiatus. Isn't it funny, just when I said I am not gonna update this blog, I updated it the next week. I am unpredictable!! Its scary people said, even i personaly think so.

So anyway, I just visited Syuhada's blog and Lady Gaga was everywhere in there. lol. Especially this Lady Gaga at above. Yes Syuhada, I stoled it from you and I'm just posting it so all my readers can feel that GAGA sensation! =P

And speaking of Lady Gaga, it totally reminds me of you, ZULHILME! Zul is my friend, who speaks the material language like I do! lol. Why Lady Gaga reminds me of him? Well its because even the wee bits of details that comes out from his mouth has to have connections with Lady Gaga. lol.

And speaking of Lady Gaga, again and again, I stoled another picture of her from Syuhada. lol. Maybe Syuhada should be my source for all the great Lady Gaga pictures. You on, girl? And this one above, is just hillarious. I dont know if you've seen Spongebob's episode when Patrick took over the cash-register job. lol. So this picture was one of the episode's part when Patrick was cash-registering well minus the Lady Gaga picture above it ofcourse. But the combination of them both is downright funny! HAHAHA.

Okaay I dont even know why I am making such a big deal out of this picture. Its scary, scary like being unpredictable. lol.

I have a few things to blog about, but I'm not gonna continue it here. Maybe on another post. We'll see. Ciao.

Hiatus, oh so typical.

2010-03-09T02:29:00.000-08:00

Bonjour bloggers of the 21st century. Let me first of all hit you with my word of the day:

Hiatus!

My 1st assesment is just around the corner. So gotta start hitting them books and leave this blog inactive for..pfffft. Who am I kidding anyway, this blog is already inactived for the past few weeks, eventhough I promised I'll keep it updated. Sigh. This time, ain't gonna do anymore post updates promises. Cause I know somehow I'm gonna do it again; leave this blog redundant with an excues that Facebook killed my blogging mojo. lol

Since I'm here, might as well tell you about the song that reached first spot on my personal best-song-ever-list. And the song is (without drumrolls....)

and I've just found out that this was the second version of the song, whereas the original one was also a hit 25 years ago; 1985.

Au revoir people! And wish me luck! =)

Sunscreen?

2010-02-21T02:28:00.000-08:00

So Brunei is on the gateway of it's 26th year of independence.

Well Congratulations Brunei!

And this year the National Day is carrying the theme "Negaraku Brunei Darussalam"

Oh did I mention I'm taking part in the march past for the National day celebration on this Tuesday? Well I am. We're having marching practices for the past few weeks and I'm telling you, I'm getting darker than I could ever imagine. But thankgod someone invented sunscreen! Its a life saver. lol. So anyway, despite getting darker and tired, it literally brings me great pleasure taking part in this year's National Day celebration. Its the experience that counts and it certainly beats sitting at home on the National day and just watch it from television or in other peoples' cases, they dont even watch it at all. Siapa terasa tu ah? lol. Well I for one, am trying to hone that patriotic spirit within me which I lacked since the day I was born. Thats why I'm trying to sunk that down for a change and doing this national day marching certainly helps.

And another thing is I promised to post some updates on this blog the other week and I did'nt until today. Its just because I'm really tired after doing all those marching practices. And dear Syuhada Syamsul, I hope you understand why I did'nt showed up for the aerobic classes last week. lol. Furthermore.. If you're asking about the banner that I've posted up there, well I stoled that from Vance Tan. =D

Bersatulah kita pertahankan
Dengan tenaga dan jiwa
Hancurkan lah petualang
Yang merosak negara
Majulah kehadapan
Menyambut seruan Ibunda

Wahai bangsa ku bersemangat waja
Semaikan dijiwa
Bendera Negara berkibar megah
Brunei kekal bahgia

-Awang Perkasa.

Merdeka Brunei Darussalam! Merdeka! =)

It feels great to be back on track with my blog. I left iWaly redundant for what? like 3 months now? lol. I feel like putting the blame on Facebook though, because somehow it killed my blogging mojo. Well probably not only mine, because I find some other bloggers lacked post updates as well. Now that my blogging mojo is back from the dead, I feel like making an update on this dusty blog. So here I am blogging my way back to square one. Besides I really need to keep in touch with my blogging friends. And my readers, which I guess I don't have them as much as I usually do in the old days, because of my lacking updates. Blablabla I think I'm gonna skip to the point: I want you guys back! =)

So anyway, I wonder how many of you watch Glee?

I just finished watching half of it's Season 1 which is only up to episode 13 (the other half hasn't premiered yet) And it was just awesome! and motivating nonetheless. They make achieving goals look easy, literally its always easy, if you just believe in yourself despite peoples' judgments. Wait, that did'nt make me sound like a hippie, did'nt it? lol.

The funniest Glee has to offer is in episode 4. Here's a clip:

And I personally thank my dearest friend Ziqah Mesli for turning me into GLEEK! lol.

The Tiger's Roar

2010-02-13T17:39:00.000-08:00

Okaay it seems that the "Brunei most boring country" online group hasn't been deleted yet. How can it be deleted anyway? It clearly says in that group that there are no admins responsible. But as I said in my previous post, this particular girl that claimed herself as the true creator of the said group (through a wall post) evidently doesn't want to give in until now. Her wall posts are still posted in that group. But trust me, you're gonna have a hard time finding it since its already sunked down by all the dirty hate messages the Bruneians are leaving there. Some said the government are taking action on this, but I'm not too sure. Okaay so you might not know what i'm talking about here unless you read my previous post.

And apart from that, I'd like to take this opportunity to wish a

Happy Chinese New Year

to everyone especially to those who are celebrating :]

Fire burning!

2010-02-11T23:36:00.001-08:00

Wow. Something extremely hot is going on at Facebook at this moment and apparently its affecting us Bruneians.

Okaay I might as well tell the story here since I'm already in my blog account. So theres this guy who created this online group on Facebook called "Brunei most boring country", fortunately for him he managed to get alot of followers. But as time went by, it was suprising enough to find out that most of his followers were going against him when his opinions started to explicitly show provocation. He wrote:
"Brunei's a nice place but technically boring as nowadays. They should have pub and loads of nightclubs so that british, new zealander, australian and americans will love it. Brunei is the land of boredom so just do what you want if you find it boring"

But the story ain't over until there. Apparently the admin/creator of that online group disappeared today (or yesterday). Likewise, he ditched his own group because of the uncountable amount of haters he created. But a while later, came another person, not a Bruneian though, and claimed that she was the one who created the group, not the person at first. And what's worse is that she posted even more incendiary things about Brunei, which I am not gonna write it on here. Trust me you'll go ballistic if I do. I guessed those words provoked some of the Bruneians that has accounts on Facebook. And now the Bruneians are bombarding that group with hate messages. What's even worse is that the current admin of the group wont delete what she has posted and created, including the group. She could've atleast said sorry, but she did'nt. Now she's having dirty debates with all of the Bruneians on Facebook. And it seems that the Bruneians are winning. Well not that I'm proud of it, because most of their comments are filthy insulting =/

And come to think of it, whats the point of leaving hate messages anyway? It only sheds anger, and fighting anger with anger won't even solve the problem. The admin does'nt want to give in, its her wrongdoing. Just let the higher power tackle this. Because I find some of the Bruneians being way too dramatic about this; there were many of those who left chains of dirty comments, I was surprised on how some Bruneians can be so crucially critical. I was like ''panas hati banar banar kah orang Brunei ane or just simply boasting?'' From my point of view, those comments and messages will only fuel up the fire of the current admin and it could possibly spread to her people also, having said that she's from another country. Furthermore our national day is only a few weeks away, and we can't let this situation trigger adversity among us Bruneians.

Well thats the latest news that I've aquired about that group. I'll be back soon, i think =]

Song of the day

2009-11-02T19:33:00.000-08:00

You've gotta give this song a listen! I find it fulfilling =D

A gentleman's choice of wear

2009-11-02T01:23:00.000-08:00

Theres something about these formal shoes that gives that sexy touch whenever someone wears them, well..from my point of view which is. Not to mention it's self-evident for a classy and fancy look. How I adore such creations! lol.

Down here is my favorite; Upper edge cording, 1" heel, French corded moc toe, American patent PVC upper and (best of all) it has a premium (red) cushion insole! WOW!!

I'm telling you, it's not something you want to wear when going out for the supermarket =P

And whats equally great are these white formal shoes!

Lets hope I'll get one for Raya next year =P

Randomsity at it's best

2009-10-30T18:57:00.000-07:00

I was just browsing through my tagged photos in Facebook and i'm going to upload some of them here. Well..since I have'nt uploaded any photos for this blog in quite a while.

The first day of Eid at Ammar's.

And this was at cousion Nona's wedding. 2nd of week of the Eid I guess.

Look! We're all Blue =D

The picture speaks for itself. Funny ain't it. Its them young cousins.

This was the Nikah I guess.

This one was at Fafa's O.H.

And....well i guess that's it. There are thousands more photos but you're not expecting me to upload em' all do you. lol. I'm fishing pictures randomly. =D Navigate yourselves to my profile sometimes!

Its what I call 'Joie De Vivre'

2009-10-29T04:58:00.000-07:00

A friend of mine can't help noticing the french words i've been using in my previous post. She asked me how I knew those words. Lets just say i've been taking french lessons when reading this book: Tale of two summers.

And speaking of books, want to see my neat book collection s'il vous plait?

I've been collecting em' since late last year. I know its not many, cause I've been reading library books as well. And no those library books ain't included in the picture above.

Furthermore...I've just finished my readings on If you think you can (teen edition) authored by T.j Hoisington. Sounds familiar to you? Its just that I've been mentioning about it alot, especially in this blog. Given that I have finished reading it, i'm striving my attentions to Torey Hayden's Silent Boy (aka Murphey's boy), which I just bought yesterday at Best Eastern. Heres a review on the first 20 pages: Its bona-fide baby. lol!

I'm making reading as a habit. Just like what my old primary teacher said: make it a habit, and you'll derive benefits. Frankly it all started when I first had the thoughts that reading a story book could entertain me on my 16 hours of flight to London last year. lol. But by golly reading turned out to be an obsession, I bought two books that month when I was in London. And one of them was a limited edition! The books are in the picture above. I like reading stories, which explains my devotion to the subject History, which furthermore, I got an A for, in my mock-exam =D

As an aftermath I started living with this philosophy; judge a book not by it's cover or dont judge a book by looking at it's cover. Trust me a book that has a good lookin' cover does'nt mean that the storyline or the inside is better. Most of my books are sci-fi (science-fiction) and have stories that does'nt relate to reality in anyways at all. Its nice reading them, if you anticipate which is, it feels like living in this c'est choute fantasy world. lol.

Nevertheless (here comes my formal statement) I read because I acknowlege it's benefits, needless to say what they are though. Thats why I'm trying to keep a passionate, bourgeoisie perspective towards reading and not let that habit just fade away.

Especially in this holiday, I've got a lot of time to kill by reading my story-books =D

P.s: Navigate yourselves to the the book's sources by clicking on the highlighted words.
And just so you know; all the italic weird words in this post, well it's french. look it up =D

Arrivederci!

Its all about fittin' in

2009-10-26T17:47:00.000-07:00

Bonjour everyone! I am back. Sorry for the long break. Needless to say that I have to prepare myself for my exams earlier this month.

Now that its Summer for me and I've finally got 3 months of joie de vivre...I can blog anytime I insist =D

Anyway I was reading this article about 'Teenagers nowadays' and i feel like its something worth blogging about. It reads that a fourteen year old boy caught stealing a pair of jeans from a clothing store claimed that it was'nt his fault. His reason was that his friends made him do it and if he did'nt he won't be accepted as part of the group.

But are we to believe that a fourteen year old can't differentiate between right and wrong? Giving a reason that it was instead his friend's fault is kind of ridiculous, but not entirely i guess; maybe its just peer pressure from his friends. Maybe the kid desperately needs friends and is willing to do anything to achieve it. What I'm trying to point out here is not the wrongdoings of the kid, but instead the friends that he is trying to fit in with. Thats why at times we've got to think wisely before choosing the people we wish to be friends with because somewhat- our friends can shape who we are either positively or negatively. Follow me on this: Imagine if you associate yourself with people who do drugs, alcohols or have the habit of stealing. Their negative influences would slowly attract you to do likewise. But imagine associating yourself with people that you can draw upon ideas, energy, motivation and accountability. I guess you could already imagine the positive effects it sheds.

Nonetheless, the people we associate with will have a profound impact in our lives. They definitely play a relevant role. Thus I like to dedicate this post to all of my thoughtful, caring friends who have always been there for me regardless. Although some of you are heading for your seperate ways next year; by moving out to different schools. But I wont worry much about that, Brunei is not that big; i'm sure we'll run into each other in the future when we got careers and ask one another 'how's life going'. lol. can't wait for that to happen.

But until then:

Au revoir and
Happy Holidays yo!

There was a luminous halo-shaped cloud hovering over Moscow city a few days ago. I cant help myself but to inform this to you guys about this s0-called 'superatural happening.'
Watch the video clip:

P.s: Goodbye Syawal! Till' next year :'-)

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"

2009-09-15T18:26:00.000-07:00

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?

2009-09-14T18:01:00.000-07:00

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

2009-09-11T23:40:00.000-07:00

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!

Happy 15th Of July

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..

I tittled the picture: When Boredom Strikes

That was me and cousin Boboy looking for some fun at One Borneo since all the ladies were gone shopping..haha..

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

My fair share of complacent

2009-07-02T05:34:00.000-07:00

''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

2009-07-01T22:58:00.000-07:00

''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..

Asking For My Opinion?

2009-06-27T08:07:00.000-07:00

''So I start a revolution from my bed''
-Dont look back in anger, Oasis.

A friend of mine requested me online to make a post about their so-called 'demand' to stop the re-opening of schools this Monday due to the rapidly increasing H1N1 cases, which, just for the record has reached (in Brunei) to a total number of 25 cases! Eventually...I laughed at his ambitious request, its not like I can do anything to prevent the government from letting the schools to re-open (unless I start a revolution). But my friend has a point..just today the cases of H1N1 has increased by a number of 5. So it is not wrong to say that I agree with him and I am looking forward to see the school's door closed due to the H1N1 cases. It has come to me that YOU of all people should'nt neglect this circumstance and be otherwised because from my point of view and hopefully many more, people could get easily infected by the H1N1 virus just through a matter of schooling.

Yes-We all have been informed that each and every school will held an inspection carried out by teachers to their students before going into classes starting this Monday. But ''What If?'' Yes! Those are the two words that can describe people's inconvinience to start schooling next week. ''What If'' something goes wrong and not according to plan? What if-the teachers are not experienced enough to inspect his/her students? And to the fact that students who does'nt know they have the H1N1 symptoms mingles around with other students before the inspection. Its possible!!! Whoa-I'm starting to sweat here, lol. I just think that the government should stop the re-opening of schools for atleast a week's time until the H1N1 cases wears-off. Only then we could start schooling and still with the inspection.

I posted a very-short version about this yesterday on Facebook and yeah-I got thumbs-up feedbacks from some people..But there are still some that disputes me. Mainly the Brainy ones. With all due respect-I'm not trying to be the person who will be protested by some people until they say ''who do you think you are?'' No! I'm just a boy who publicizes his opinions for good sakes! And I know-The brainies or possibly the adults will dispute me..Because hey! Our mindsets are not the same. I dont blame ya'..One of the brainies a.k.a smart ones remarked that they wanted to school-study and (heck) be smarter. But dont you think that with all this virus spreading around us we could study publicly (school). A heck no to that!

This is a basic matter that we all have to govern together..After all the virus is spreading mojorly among the younger ones. So what will it be? Education or Safety?

Edited (18 hours after first published): So yeahh-Just watched the news tonight. School's are closed down for a week's time starting on Monday just like what I and many others have wanted. It happened so fast-It was just this morning that I created & published this post and somewhat-added a little reverential demands in it to make it more justified! And tadaa..After hearing the news tonight..We got what we demanded..Seriously-I think the government reads my blog. haaa..kiddin.

Legacy

2009-06-27T03:52:00.000-07:00

''Make a little space..Make a better place''

-Heal the world, Michael Jackson.

Having heard about M.J's death made me spent the rest of the afternoon making research about his life-story on the internet. Moreover it kept me sitting on the couch watching his THS on channel E. Although I've seen it a couple of times before, it does'nt really felt the same as like watching it on the day hearing about his death! And no-I'm not going to update further information about his death, since probably most of you have heard about it from various sources. But I managed to find an article by Michael Ventre that you might find interesting:

‘King of Pop’ leaves the legacy of a boy prince
-Famous since childhood, singer was never comfortable in adult world-

Most kings are destined to be remembered as kings, not as the person they had been before ascending to power. Even though Michael Jackson earned recognition as the “King of Pop,” the legacy he leaves is that of a boy prince.

Michael Jackson was never comfortable in the adult world. Early on he recognized he would be the happiest in the land of Ferris wheels, cotton candy, docile animals and 24/7 playtime, and he clung to that life. He looked at film of the Jackson 5, circa 1968, noticed the front man was a kid, and wondered whatever

Michael Jackson passed away today. It’s always sad when parents outlast their children. It’s even sadder when the inner child and the adult can’t decide who will go first.

And if this article succeeds to catch your interest you might wanna read the rest of the article here

Michael Jackson is dead?

''But in this ever changing world in which we live in..Makes you give in and cry''

-Live and let die, Paul McCartney.

I was browsing through a particular blog just momentarily and you could say I came across one of the most shocking news I've ever heard, about the death of The King Of Pop: Michael Jackson.

At first I didnt really believed about this. But once I Googled it....Its a fact!! Michael Jackson is pronounced dead at age 50 on the 25th June 2009 which was yesterday.

That certainly was a F-Y-I to me. Such depressing.
I think I'm gonna stop here..I'll be back with more information/update about M.J's death..While in the mean time you can search about this online.

Le Mieux!

If You Think You Can!

2009-06-21T20:11:00.000-07:00

''Theres a crucial time when you need to tune out the critics''
-Tj Hoisington.

I am currently reading one of Tj Hoisington's book: If you think you can. I've read through it's first 20 pages and I came across one of his persuading topic about the certain people who stands in the way of your dreams. I have to agree on this because this is a common matter, infact this is revolving around us everytime we are going after our dreams or trying to achieve our goals. Likewise, certain people who walks up to you and say something like ''You dont have what it takes'' Well...these people could be just anyone-your friends, your teachers even your family members. They feel like they know whats best for you and prevent you from taking the leap. 'Kowing whats best for you?' : In this case..If you think your goals or dreams can be a little bit too edgy or risky, you should think twice before you act and be consulted by the people who you think are wiser than you..For instance: Parents.

In some other cases, there are some people who will prevent you from achieving your dreams and goals just because they know you will succeed. They are unlikely to be the parents but friends. Sometimes friends, well..some friends, If they see you going for something higher than their's they will eventually talk you out of it in a friendly yet devious manner. These kinds of people are toxic. And No-its not because they know whats best for you but because of jelaousy.

Allow me to shed some light on this topic: The story of Galileo for instance. For centuries people commonly believed that the earth was at the centre of the universe and the sun revolves around it. Many great minds disputed this belief and it was'nt until Galileo came along to prove otherwise. He divulged this to the leaders at that time with his perfected telescope. Here's where the point starts: The leaders felt threatened because somewhat-Galileo 'contradicted' their superiority and beliefs. So the leaders tortured Galileo just to retract his position. Eventually Galileo did in 1633. Our of fear for his life, he retracted his goals and beliefs.

Get the point? -Sometimes people like the leaders in the story of Galileo who cant see new possibilities for themselves are unlikely to see new possibilities for others. Or in cases of Jelaousy. If you are those kinds who likes to keep quiet and be less critical, you can easily be brought down by the jelousy of others. Solutions? Be otherwised. Its a time you let our your inner roar. Your criticism. Just like what I have copied from Tj Hoisington's writting and composed it to a phrase: ''Theres a crucial time when you need to tune out the critics''

And you know exactly when the crucial time is.

Beyond Simplicity

2009-06-17T20:11:00.000-07:00

''You might be a big fish in a little pond

Does'nt mean you've won cause along may come

A bigger one''

-Lost, Coldplay.

Sometimes it makes me wonder...
Wondering why my thoughts sometimes differ from some people, although among those people I am the only one who is having thoughts repelling against their's. I mean, those certain people are like exporting (from their mind) series of the same ideas like one another..While I, I remain particular since what I have stored in my 'idea-box' does'nt really relate their's. Well this does'nt make me left out or excluded because in the end I'm gonna say something like ''Its life, people cant relate to the same ideas/thoughts/opinions, thats why we have revolutions''

And from what I have thought of this, Is just that I have a mindset of Beyond Simplicity™

Yeah-Its because I never took much interest in simple things..Well dont get me wrong or anything..I'm just saying of what is inside my mind. Like I always avoid thinking that in the future I will work in a company's cubicle typing paperworks for the rest of my life (nightmare). I want to explore the world atleast. And judging from my choices, well my mom could tell, cause she always whines about me having a bad taste..although what I have choosed interests me but not to others.
I always like to see the bigger things in life and just hope I can reach up to it, but I never had concerned the little things in life. Thats my flaw. Likewise: Going for the much advanced without concerning the basics. This is what my dad always provoke me with: Basics!

Just recently, I realised that this 'Beyond Simplicity mindset' of mine is just family genetics. In other words, I got it from a particular family member. And in other-other words: Waris. Who will it be is my grandfather on my mother's side. I knew him since I was just a toddler..Until now, I can say I knew him very well..He always have ideas that seperates against the other family members, even sometimes I disagree with him. And I can say he's not a simple man. Judging from his perspectives but I never come to judge on his appearance, because what he wears is everyday typical. But thats not the point..Once upon a time he told me that he wants his home to be a slice of the Sultan's palace, atleast. He did. And he managed to make it more than just a slice..He made his living room carved with gold landscapes on the ceiling and he has a garden in the backyard with all the landscaped features he always wanted.

I've learned from a wise person, that thinking far can bring you far. But from my own perspective: If you think too far, it only leads to catastrophe.

Theres nothing wrong being beyond simple..Just never mistaken the term with 'beyond normal' Now thats another story.

''I'm just waiting till the shine wears off''

-Lost, Coldplay

So hows the new look?

I'm going in for black and just so, not to make it more goth than I imagined..I changed some of the main fonts to orange. Because I like the whole idea of entirely black and a sprinkle of orange here and there. I find it really...catchy...dont you think so? Well despite my post background which is of white. But still, I'm trying to avoid those colour blinding/bright kinds of background. It's just not me. Okayy-So why dont just I stop talking about my own background =P

See..I dont really have much to blog about today..But I'm gonna make this entertaining...with Nidji!! The Indonesian band. Well I dont really like them as much as the 'Gokils' does..Hehe..But I'll try not to spoil the whole detail by saying they have the most superb yet catchy (Did I said catchy again?) songs! Well dont think I'm new to this band..No-Ho..I knew them ages ago..And its kinda impossible someone like me wouldnt realize about Nidji.

And theres this one song of their's..Laskar Pelangi..I could understand the whole message delivered in the song..And I like the idea of the music video too..Just natural like Jason Mraz!! Well..Its official..Making Laskar Pelangi as one of my Happy Songs!!

Nidji Word!!

''Caterpillar on the tree..Have you wonder who you'd be..

Cant go far but you can always dream''

Butterfly fly away, Miley Cyrus.

I've seen this video a couple of times..A royal holiday report about Brunei. I find it really fascinating, a naturalist walking on the face of Brunei making reports of Brunei's world hidden architectures and at the same time tossing remarks all over. Know what I mean? Exactly.

I'll promise you..Once you click that play button..It'll open your eyes of how Brunei is really like. And not to mention, how the foreigners would think of Brunei. ''Its really captivating to see, but it'll be more if we experience it''. And there goes another iWaly original conceptual phrase! The video did managed to get satisfying feedbacks from some people..Suprisingly most of them were from foreigners.

Here's one from an individual in UK:

'l337z0r: ''I went there for a while, and stayed with my Uncle who works there (In the Oil industry). It was the furthest away from my home (The UK) I have ever been, and it was... amazing. It sparked an interest in world travel inside me.

It is so nice to get away from the realm of normality and enter a place totally different!

Don't think I would live there though.''

I highlighted a sentence there in thicker font..From my point of view..This is how most foreigners would think of Brunei: Its peacefulness comparing to some other countries. I mean, some people are having intentions to escape all those crimes, pollution, etc in their country and Brunei would be the perfect nonchalant place to settle in.

Below comes one of my favourite remark, Its from a local who lives remotely overseas from Brunei..

Zydahm: ''Being overseas, far away from home, and watching this video.. makes me feel what a blessing and a privilege to be a Bruneian, in spite of the things we don't have like any other country.

I am proud to be a Bruneian = Aku bangga menjadi anak watan Brunei.

Majulah negaraku, majulah anak-anak watan!''

I highlighted two sentences there:

The first is..

Things we dont have like any other country

Well I dont blame this person..Because Brunei doesnt have what we are expecting like some other countries..But Brunei is catching up as we well as improving. Sooner or later we'll get what we want. But I just hope the developments wont get too far cause we dont want to end up like some countries..

The first thing that popped out of my mind was the word Patriotic (Re: Second highlighted sentence) This person, although living overseas has'nt forget who he/she really is..Because some local people living in other countries forget who they really are once they find that particular country to be more interesting than the local country.

Le Miuex Brunei! Le Miuex!!

''Trying to get up that great big hill of hope..

for a destination..''

-Whats going on, 4 non blondes

I was browsing through my post archive a few hours ago..And how I was laughing myself back into the past as I was reading some of my oldest posts from last year one by one and somehow, it caught me pondering of what I was experiencing that time when I was composing those posts. It also made me realised that I've changed, alot infact.

First of all, my writtings then comparing now, had a huge gap in between. The way I was writting at that time was random..Words on my mind went straight down to my fingers and leads me Typing them..Exposing them..and Blogging them. My posts were also in the form of randomsity..One time I was blogging about my personal life and the next thing I was writting 'bout MTV..Heh. Laughing back at my old posts or as I like to allude them as 'memories' is really enjoying. Finding out the broken english I was perpetrating that time made me realise my mistakes and weakness and made it feel like a lesson-to-learn.

I also came across those posts that divulges pictures. It was like an album full of old memories. You guys remember those posts that I posted during my one month stay in London..No I wasnt really scanning those pictures for memories but on my writtings. I remembered it very vividly in London when I was sitting in one corner near a veranda while wearing my jacket with a hot bowl of indomee in my hand. Haha. The good ol' days. It has also come to my attention that I've changed interest..Like currently I am captivated by reading while then my interest was way still childish.

Just for the record: So far I havent attempted to change the link/URL of my blog..
iWaly™ has been an icon for me..My families reads my blog, my friends reads my blog and even some people I havent come across reads my blog..

Through blogging, I've collected so many friends. And it captivated me to be more social and putting aside the introvert I usually am. As I have sentenced, laughing back at my older posts/memories is really enjoying. I was thinking of keeping this blog until Im older and see how well I'm gonna laugh back on my current posts.

Texas toddler is first swine flu death in U.S.

WASHINGTON - Officials confirmed the death of a 23-month-old child in Texas from the new strain of swine flu on Wednesday, the first fatality from the condition reported outside Mexico.

Dr. Richard Besser, acting director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, confirmed the fatality during an interview with NBC News.

Besser told NBC's TODAY show that he didn't believe "this indicates any change in the strain of the flu."

Sixty-six infections had been reported in the United States before the report of the toddler's death in Texas.

"Even though we've been expecting this, it is very, very sad," Besser added. "As a pediatrician and a parent, my heart goes out to the family."

Besser said authorities essentially are still "trying to learn more about this strain of the flu."

"It's very important that people take their concern and channel it into action," Besser said, adding that "it is crucial that people understand what they need to do if symptoms appear.

The world has no vaccine to prevent infection but U.S. health officials aim to have a key ingredient for one ready in early May, the big step that vaccine manufacturers are awaiting.

But even if the World Health Organization ordered up emergency vaccine supplies — and that decision hasn't been made yet — it would take at least two more months to produce the initial shots needed for human safety testing.

***************Nauzubillah***************

It was just this morning that we performed our presentation on the 'News Flash Of The Month' It was a splendour achievement. Amalina is the brain behind the powerpoint presentation. She'd done a great job. Also to the main announcers and the the rest of the speakers. O'Yeah-Not forgetting the guitar players. I also fulfilled my role..on giving a speech about Bobby Chinn's presence in Brunei. A few people from other classes approached me..Saying i'd done a great job with my speaking. I'd taunted..But when people gives you a 'hats-off' we should exchange them with reverence.

The presentation did persuade me. -Alot!! You could be educated by watching the news itself. And that, it explains the 'breaking-news' article above. Received it from my MSN acount. Felt appropriate that i share it here.

I'll be back-Stay tune for more updates :D

Motivate Yourself

2009-04-23T07:19:00.000-07:00

''Wake up everyone..How can you sleep at a time like this, unless the dreamer is the real you''

-Make it mine, Jason Mraz.

So i created this whole 'motive' to start a great day via a great morning..Well its actually for myself..But finally i convinced myself to compose it to a post and share it here :D

Chiefly, My focus will be on the morning..Because a great start in the morning leads to a splendour fulfiling day.

Where to start?-The moment you opened you eyes after a good night slumber. Which is..In the morning ofcourse. Its appropriate that you sleep early in the night before cause you'll find it easy to wake up early the next morning. Even if you do woke up early, but prior the night before you slept late..Dont even think to have a fresh start in the morning. Likewise; If you're a heavy sleeper and you've setted an alarm BUT you kept pressing the snooze button until a good 20 minutes had passed by..You realized you are late..And dont ever try to sleep again. For instance; You setted your alarm for 5:30Am but you snoozed it until 5:50Am, You woke up but you opted yourself to continue sleeping again until 6 just cause you are left with a few minutes till that particular time, Do the math people! My point is: Just wake up whenever you opened your eyes, literally.

I dont know if you guys ever skipped shower in the morning? But for me, Morning shower is compulsory..Under my own rules ofcourse. But i am never gonna skip my morning shower. Regardless-Im late or not. Here's a solution (Re: Sleepy heads) Try devoid that sleepiness in you by turning off the water heater and use the usual cold water instead for showering. You'll realize it will only take a few minutes compared with a hot/warm shower. Trust me. Another inevitable thing in the morning is: Brushing your teeth! Hell if you dont.

After a good ol' morning shower, have breakfast. Oh please, Some people have the habit of skipping breakfast. Mom will sue me if she's reading this, Cause i was a breakfast skipper some time before..Hahaa..But seriously avoiding breakfast just leads you to a morning starvation and lethargation. Means: Lack of energy. Try not to eat those fatty/oily/fast-foody foods for breakfast cause you'll end up having stomach aches. Try oatmeals, breads/toasts, porridges, cornflakes or even fruits. Yikes- I almost sounded like my dietition..Haaa'

If you feel that you have much time ahead of you until you're going out for school/work..Whatever you do..Dont start thinking for a power nap on the couch or even turning on the TV! It'll just hinder you! What i recommend is: The radio. Yes-Turn on the radio instead. Listen to some musics. Hear those Dj's speaking. Yeah-its a great form of entertainment. Better yet if your all alone in the house, turn the volume loud until you can hear it almost everywhere you go!! Then again-Spend a few times to the outside. Feel the open air. Bring a cup of hot chocolate/coffee..Take a sip of your drink as you register your whole surroundings. Sometimes i also brought my camera along..Catching the sunrise.

If you have any works/chores..Its appropriate to finish them all on the day before..Cause if you're doing them in the mornings..It'll just impede you and make you late. Dressing up neat, in casses of working or schooling. -Inevitable! Some people, well..you know those kinds that lacks hygine. Sure..They have their shirts, trouses and shoes on..But the way they are..Their hairs? Dont even get me started. Well..If you're those kinds that spents prolong times making/fixing your hair like moi' here..set your time people.

Lastly, Never ever ever groan!! Its typical, Sometimes people groan because its monday. Everybody hates Mondays because Mondays are always the first day after the weekends! Regardless to that statistic..Put those groanings aside. Shut your mouth for a while. Because if you started groaning in the morning (Haa..that rhymes)..You'll find it hard to stop until the end of the day. In a situation like this, we need therapists. To avoid this, try saying something nice and adequate to yourself, to your day. Try thinking of the positive things that you always confronted during the day as opposed to thinking negative.

Well i think that is all that i can share..I didnt even realize this 'motive' i composed here could be so lengthy. This is just the morning..Wait till i make another motive about the rest of the day. Hahaa..Dont count on it. But as said above, A great start in the morning leads to a splendour fulfiling day :D

Le Mieux!

Teachers For Life

2009-04-21T02:57:00.000-07:00

''Hope dangles on a string, Like slow spinning redemption..Winding in, winding out, The shine of it has caught my eye''

-Vindicated, Dashboard Confessional.

I had an encounter with my old kidnergarden teacher a few days ago. We met at Bobby Chinn's live show at KB. So i took the advantage to greet her. From the looks of her face, i could tell, she was suprised. But then again i was the one who got really perplexed when she said ''How are you, Waly?'' Frankly, i thought she didnt know who i was at the first place. I mean come on-its been what? 10 years!! And seldomly i could see her after i gratuated to primary 1 as she retired not longer then.

Now thats what i call -Teachers' for life!!

So we started this conversation, talking bout how life's been lately. She said i've grown up. She barely recognized me but she did. Then she exploited a few jokes saying how'd if Bobby Chinn made ambuyat :P For an old timer, she still got the groove!

****************

Furthermore..

Since i think this post isnt entertaining enough..Here's a trailer of the new upcoming movie: Starring Zac Efron; 17 again.

P/S: In case you are still confounded who my Kidnergarden teacher is..Its Cikgu Malai. Heard she has some relations with our DJ Jenny..hmm..?

Hitler's Mustache

2009-04-20T01:35:00.000-07:00

I dont really know what got into us this afternoon..when the whole class starts singing a birthday song to Hitler!

Adolf Hitler; the man who started World World 2 and caused death to billions of people. Yet..we still sang him a birthday song. Well it is Hitler's birthday today. But 10 more days after today, is when the real party starts. As this 30th is also a historical day because its Hitler's Deathday, also the day when Hitler shot himself. Heyy-im good. I dont even have to look in my history book for this one :P

You guys are waiting for me right? Waiting for me to write something like 'Happy Birthday Hitler' Pyuck. Singing him a birthday song is already bad enough for me.haa'

Okayy-I dont know if you guys remember this picture? That i posted earlier October last year.

A picture of me and the ol' Hitler himself.
Madam Tussauds, London. 2008.

I cant really find the original picture..Because i edited this one..
And it looks a little crummy.

Oh yeah, Hitler looked good in this picture 'cause i recommended him to use hair spary before taking a picture with me :P

Be back with more updates.

A Connoisseur and Comedian

2009-04-18T07:44:00.000-07:00

So i talked alot of unnecessary things in my previous post. Saying that i was going inactive and all (Re: 'I want to have days of, off blogging') Yeah-that one.

Reason why i cant impede myself on going inactive agian: Cause i want to post some of the pictures of celebrity chef Bobby Chinn in his live cooking show in KB yesterday. In which i attended ofcourse.

Okay-Im sure some of you are still confounded with Bobby's presence in Brunei even though you've heard it a thousand times already in the radio.

For those of you who dont even have the slightest of clue who Bobby Chinn is: Well, he's a celebrity chef that has been almost everywhere around the world trying all sorts of cuisine and gourmets. He has opened his own restaurants in various places. And he's one of those Chinese-Egyptians kind of people.

Now the fact that he's in Brunei just makest those details better :P

He keeps punning about other celebrity chefs. And it always involves Jamie Oliver. Haha

He also banters at the the same time saying how friendly muslims' in Brunei are. :D And then mentioning 'bout how he dated this French girl once. Haaaa.

Bobby and his assistant-Mohammed (Well that's how Bobby pronounce it)

Once there was this crowd with those SLR cameras apperaing suddenly. Then Bobby said 'You just missed him. Jamie Oliver already left a few minutes ago' he cracked me up!!

Honestly; Bobby isnt much of a celebrity chef to me..As one will always be my chef idol: Gordan Ramsey. Bobby is much more of a comedian..hahaa'

The best thing about his show was that i dont even have to squeeze myself into crowds just to get a perfect picture of him. I can stand anywhere. Not like he has a personal bodyguard and all.

Okay-Those pictures are the least i can do to make you guys know more about Bobby Chinn. Better yet-I recorded a video of his live show. I'll see if i can post it here in my blog.

And dont forget to watch his show in channel AFC. Although i dont really know what the show's name is. Hahaa.

P/S: Just pretend my previous post never existed. -Yeah?

Ease Up!!

2009-04-15T04:24:00.001-07:00

Jourbon bloggers of the 21st century..
Notice how i have no hesitation in writting the word? Now i know some of you might think i mispelled Jourbon with Bonjour. And for those of you who doesnt have the slightest of clue what im talking 'bout here, well-let me hit you with the french dictionary: Jourbon is a french word, denoting a greet. But get this-The French pronounce 'em the other way around-Bonjour. But the spelling will always remain as jourbon. Cool fact right? :P

Okay-Time for the real points.
Its been a while since i posted my last entry, which is...a few weeks ago?

So just to let you know..Im going Inactive again. Yes i know, the word is so medieval when it comes from my own writing. Cause you've probably seen me a thousand times mentioning the word in my blog. haa'

But its not because of Hiatus this time.

Reason-Cause i want to have days of, OFF-BLOGGING.
Make that, somewhat-A solaceful holiday.

I know i already have those days before, when my updates are lacking. But before doesnt count. It starts from today and onwards. And it aint just gonna be days..Trust me on this one :P

But..As usual..Like i said everytime before going inactive:

I'll be back :D

Until then, my song-of-the-day:

Good-Bye.

Burning Up!

2009-04-05T23:44:00.000-07:00

Brunei is heating up! And I mean that, literally.

Im sure most of you have experienced the aversion hot weather that Brunei is facing. Everyday! Yes, day after day, it feels like the sun is giving complete adversities to the people here in Brunei. Well, make that the World!!

I used to remember the old times, which was a few years back when Brunei was leisurely windy and cool at the same time even though the sun is shining oh-so remorselessly in the sky..Well take that and versus it with today's Today!! You could see a big difference. You could feel the wind but the heat is resistant through-out the day. The hottest part would be in the afternoon..Where the sun is shining so brightly in the middle of the sky. Talking about when its a school day. Walking out of the school when school dismisses is already exhausting. I'd rather stay in the class with the cool airconditioner running than walking under the midevil sun.

Im sorry, but i get easily irritated by the heat! Do you know it also causes effects to our skin? Like it makes you wanna scratch your skin like crazy because of itchiness. Urgh! Moreover if you're staying under the sun for a very long time, and when you got back home and mirror yourself and found out that you are facing a change of colour on your skin like when its getting slightly darker than usual. Well, truth be told; that was my case. Back in those days when i still attend ugama classes ..Where we have to spent hours sitting in a class that only counts on the wind that passes through the open windows and the heat, as i said resistant, it only makes ourselves wet. No airconditioner if thats what your asking (Not that im really complaining about this) But counting only on the fans..it just makes you stress as it reluctantly making its rotation around and around. AAAHHHH....

I cant stop imagining what would happen to the world in the future..As technology is getting intellectual..and factories will increase and so links to the pollution it will release..and causes Global Warming which, exploits the heating up temperature..And as you can see..I have just crafted a cycle how global warming happened (Re: The whole 'what would happen to the world in the future' thingy) Just so you dont have to get busy hitting the science book looking for what Global Warming actually meant..hahaa ..OMG-I almost sounded like my teacher. Yikes!!

Okay enough said..I gotta sign-off as i have chores to do. Chores? I know right..Its really hard to believe..Since the maid is not comming until a few more weeks i gotta land my hands on the sink: Dishwashing!!

Signing out.
Have a Le Mieux day :D

p/s: To avoid those skin effects (Re: Sccratch your skin like crazy) use Sunscreen. Yeah?

Hola bloggers of the 21st Century
This goes out to those anonymous readers as well..

I just got back from Kota Kinbalu tonight..Yes tonight..Our journey was more than 7 hours (Say what?!)..it’s the same as going to Dubai from Brunei but by air transport..Talking about land transport i.e cars which we spent for hours sitting in; was oh-so Midevil..

But going ’Convoy’ on very long road trips was more appealing than I had expected..There was altogether four families..Each with their own cruiser..including our’s ofcourse..The whole family shared an appartment for four days and three nights..Everything was going so swell with my cousins and all..Well despite the fact that; theres only three bathrooms to focalize 20 person..heh’

So if you have any plans on going for long road trips..Try going convoy with families or friends..Because come to think of it..You’ll feel like there’s always someone looking out for you: One of my uncle supplied us with Walkie-Talkies’ for each family..Really useful a) It keeps us on track with each other b) Inform one another about the road, traffics, cars and so on c) But nonetheless there’s always some jokes to be tossed around on the count of entertainment :D
But today..On our way back home..It was just silent..Well, regardless to the trafficking news each family divulge to each other..but it was just silent..Usually there were funny things along the road to joke about..I guess we were really exited on going to KK rather than going back from it..Who wouldn’t..(?!)

What were our programs?
Day 1: We Arrived to our destined appartment by 430PM..Later that night we went straight to shopping at 1Borneo..

Day2: We went shopping again at various malls and shopping places..Mainly because of the ladies! Heh’ That evening, went to 1Borneo again for the 2nd time!

Day3: I could say its one of the best day I’ve ever had at KK..That morning, a 2 hours trip to Mount.Kinabalu resort! The journey ‘into the clouds’ was great..If you know what I mean. Then we had BBQ there and..had an overnight stay.

Day4: Woke up early in the morning to catch a glimpse of Mount.K’s peak..Then went back to the appartment..Later: Went to this shopping mall and blagh..Shop!

Day5: The least favourite day..Which is today..Trip back to Brunei..Arrived home by 8PM Sharp! And of course tyring!

I’d be lying if I said I didn’t snap any photoshots during my stay at KK..Well just stay tune for em’s..

Yawn…Feels like I should hit the hay!
-Signing off. W.

Say What?

2009-03-19T15:05:00.000-07:00

Ola People!!

-Yeah that feels good-

Truly the holiday mood has already conquered me. Today is the last day of our 1st Term. Hmm..3 months since school reopens this year..Feels rather like a month. Dont you agree. Thats a Rheotrical question. No need to answer that. :D hehe.

Furthermore..Tommorows' the family convoy trip to KK. Yay. Although im gonna miss the carnival held at OGDC this weekend. Darn. I already missed the one in Bandar last month.

So we'll be spending an overnight at Bandar later. Right now, got some packing to do. Tommorow we'll be setting off early in the morning to avoid road jams. Yea we're going to KK by car.

Lets just hope the road isnt like what we expected; conjested with jams.And a safe drive is always important.

Until then; Enjoy this article of:

I am clearly stating this blog Inactivate

Yes people. I have to leave my blog for a while. Because i'll be sitting for my first term assesment in less than two weeks time.

But. I give you my words. My colourful words:

I'll be back

Until then..

Yeahhh..I promised to post some pictures during my stay at the Empire. Unfortunately i only got a chance to upload one. Heh.

Everybody hurts

2009-02-28T04:29:00.000-08:00

Do you know what hurts?

This picture! haha.

I feel like making an update today. Why this picture you asked? Its really obvious. Im hurt. Emotionally. From that particular circumstance i confronted this morning. I feel better off not to talk about it.

And now..Im clearing it all out of my mind. Devoid it. Let it be redundant with.

Currently im at The Empire hotel..Will be staying here until tommorow..Just now, i took a walk along the beach, catch the sunset..took some pictures WHICH im going to post them some other day. That kinda brought me up a little. Especially this picture, It brought my sense of humour back. Heh.

P/S: I dedicate this to a friend, who's probably going through a bad time right now, you know who you are..Best of luck, girl.

''Funny Man''

2009-02-25T23:41:00.000-08:00

I was watching The Oscar live the other day..Wait, I know what you guys are thinking..The fact that Brunei's National Day celebration was broadcast live the same time as The Oscar..For those of you guys who think i didnt watch the National Day ceremony..Unfortunately for you guys..I did watched it..and i aint gonna tell you how i watched those two programes at the same time..but i can tell you this; the performane made by our locals was captivating! Now that i've made my point..Lets head on back to The Oscar...

So how many of you know Huge Jackman? Yes..No..Oh Come on! Havent you guys watched Van Helsing..or X-Men before? Haha just kidding. He was also the host in this year's Oscar awards..I must say; he made quite an entrance..and i was baffled by his performance in opening the Oscar ceremony..Who would of expect he was a 'funny guy' or the fact that he has an Opus voice..I mean he casts in all this action-packed characters like the Wolverine and all..Okay enough chitt-chatting..Just watch the video..

Plus Anne Hathaway is there too..

Happy 25th National day Brunei!!!

It comes with great pleasure in wishing my beloved country its 25th National anniversary. Congratulations Brunei!!

********

This has come to my attention:
The word 'patriotic' has been tossed everywhere in the country, hence the spirit just was'nt there..I dont understand why some locals look down to their own counrty..What are they trying to prove? Other countries are much better? Sure comparing to some countries, Brunei is a wee bit low in some circumstances..but with the supports and spirits of the people..Brunei got what it takes to make an extra upgrade.

I confess, the MIB lessons i've been taking is starting to pay-off..Haha..But as a local, it is my privilege in giving my fullest support to the country in this festive moment. And as we all know..the national motto has been given; Kedewasaan Bernegara..Or as i would like to refer it: All grown up!! Dont you think so? 25 Years of age..Imagine when you are that particular age..You'll be categorize as an adult! Now so as the country's nation.

So give your fullest support and divlge your love and reverence to the country!! Somewhat, this makes me want to add: Merdeka!!

Dedication

Ola Amigos'..

Just a brief post for today.

First things first..I apologise for the lack of updates since LAST WEEK..

See..Im having problem with my 'post publisher'..Yes its hard to believe..

I think its because i changed my layout to regularly..Dont you thonk so?..

Currently im using the classic version on creating posts..

I dont really know why..I cant reset the settings..

But unless i change my layout to one of the bloggers.com originals..

Will think of that soon enough..

And like i said im gonna make it brief and quick..

So im just gonna leave you with this video..

This is a tribute video of our local artist

The Seeds..with their song: Cerita kau dan aku..

Oh come on..Dont tell me you havent heard of this song..

Its played like 4-5 times everyday in the radio..haha

Just press that play..Then you'll know :D

Make it happen!

Senor Pablo tagged me on this one..Gracias' Senor!!

Step 1: You're never alone with a blog. Tell your readers why you love them, and why they should love you.

I appreciate my readers for the merit support that they have given me..and for the gratitude that they have divulge on this blog..Just by leaving positive comments and responses on my shoutbox or on my comment forum..I feel it is content enough to count it as support..But you can never neglect the support of friends..I am not just talking about friends that i have around my life...I am also indulging those that i made from blogging!! How this has engrossed me; by making more friends, we can make life much more fulfilling..Thus making me more liberal and less the introvert i usually am..And for those who 'followed' my blog..Thank You! I admit not quite a number of people followed this blog..But those few people who did, indicates that, i have true supporters.

I am not asking anyone to love my blog or anything..All i intend is for all the support i can get from my readers :D

Step 2: Teach someone you love to blog (or micro-blog!).

I did advocate a few people last year on creating a blog..
But when it comes to; Teaching someone you love to blog..hmm.. The closest person i ever thoght to manage a blog was my uncle..Remorseless..He has done a tremendous job on his blog..

One person i will never forget, was the very first person who inspired me to blog. Adliee. An old friend from ugama school. He thought me how to blog, he's the person, somewhat, dragged me to this whole blogging society..And what afiliates the passion of blogging within me today..

Step 3: Link to their first blog post, and encourage readers to visit them.

Our school confronted a situation a few days ago. And what leads to the consciousness of teachers and student bodies, When caught a Year 9 (Secondary 3) student drinking alcohol in the school. Now this is not a circumstance that we can all linger around with. St.Margarets name has been clean after all this years, until a very insincere day, when the particular situation happened. Apparently, the student whom was caught 'drunk' was our new classmate. He was transfered from another school just few days ago. And his second day at St.Margarets, was his origin of attempting alcoholism in the school. Not only that, he was also suspected on drugs. Luckily, the school, without any reluctance, expelled the student immediately. What a nuiscane he has been to the school. What would other people say about St.Margarets now. How this situation has confound so many people. Speaking of which. There are some students who are slowly arising to ruin the school name, who has severe habit of smoking. Chiefly in toilets, where the cigarette left-overs can be found or where the smell of cigarette can be fume. There will be a time when they will come across the principal and face severe consequences.

Advices, what people usually said.

Do not to drugs, in the other hand avoid alcohols and smoking.

Last night the family went out for dinner at Rampai Sari restaurant. One of Seri Kandi's very own. Thus, in the other hand celebrating my Brothers 11th Birthday. The night went splendid. Although it was raining outside. The food was great. The Ice Cream cake was adequate. My cravings for the 'Cantonese mee' has been fullfilled last night, since i got the chance to order it while the family was eating the 'family set' dinner. Yeah!! I also took a few snap shots:

The Grands.

Yawwhh..The cantonese mee served in the sizzling dish.
