Recap : September to December

September :  September was still a fasting month and also Raya towards the end. During Ramadhan my friends and I had 'sungkai luar'. One of them is like a reunion which was held at Tanjung Selera, Tanjung Bunut. It was a fun moment and great night indeed. We had fun and lots of laugh :) Some had to go early while others bringing the fun to Hua Ho just a block away. Lapss~

then went to Gadong chilling with some friends
and then later we had sahur at McD.



Sungkai at I-Lotus with friends from the UK.

Second day raya slept over at Kudin's til 6AM.



The next day, balik tia si Kudin.



After that, went to Ridha's.
We had a tour around her house.
It was fun.



At night, kan sleep over at Sap so nda jadi tia. Haha..



Raya ke enam we attacked Rimba people.



Then esuknya si Iq balik.
Ni nah muka2 urg yg patut ko balikan souvenir :P



October : October was still a month celebrating Raya. Also, Badtz Ope house and Birthday with Jau surprise.



Then di ujung2 raya, badtz open house and I had a blast.
Video, Jamming and then at midnight, Jau surprised for everybody.

November : I was on Hiatus

December : Went to DST Carnival where Dai met her boyfriend, NOT Utt but the other one. You know~ I got the chance to kayak and cycling at Empire. It was fun. Lapsss..



Hayyy!!

Now I'm leaving 2009 with...





Happy New Year Everyone!

Recap : May to August

May : No story for May, sorry peeps. I cant find the May pictures and I just realised that I lost some of the folders that may contain some memorable pictures :( 


June : Many memories terlakar di bulan ini. One of them is Brunei DPMM FC winning the League Cup. It was a great moment for them and the fans and of course the country. I remember people congratulate them in FB status and blogs. It was amazingly like a fairy tale for Brunei, but the fairy tale ended differently. Not a happy ending but sad tia because of Brunei has been rule out to participate in international match until BAFA is resolved. The month June also brought another greatness when Iq was coming home which also ended up depressing at first because he was the fourth person to be infected by H1N1 in Brunei and having Dai as one of the quarantinees too :P Another big news happening during this month was the death of Michael Jackson. Oh my, that was huge. June was such a happening month. H1N1 tah lagi then Michael Jackson. Fuhh.. ngalih eh.





Brunei DPMM FC winning the league cup.



July : I remembered when I was eating out with Iera, Iq and Dai at Nyonya Restaurant at Yayasan. Iq had a very hot and spicy story that he had been wanting to tell us since he was in the UK. We spent hours there just talking about this one particular person who afterall we hate tia. Haha.. Unbelievable man the story. Bak pepatah sepandai-pandai tupai melumpat akhirnya jatuh ke tanah juga. Hayy! We even makan sampai kana halau uleh urg restarant. haha.. laps that night. I think I lost the folder that contains all the pictures :( So may folders I lost already.

Few days later, Dai celebrated her birthday her own way because she didn't come for her surprise birthday and I rugi $7.50 ticket transformer. How could she! The three of us were deloo~ Iera, Iq and I. Instead the birthday girl turned out to be at someone's house not celebrating it. Later that night, we went to her house to celebrate it and we had some pizzas and all. It was good after all.

In the middle of July, Iera, Iq, Dai and I went to the sectret beach. We had a wonderful picnic and Dai and Iq had a contract about not to take pictures of anyone sleeping. Haha.. Actually, I think I may have lost all t he MAY - JUNE - JULY pictures. Hmmm~

Empire Carnival Laps.. Some of them even checked in for FREE! You know~



August : It's Ramadhan time so the activities was toned down a bit.
 


SMSH Reunion at Capers! Very amazing one. Laps



BRIDEX 2009 was awesome!
Will see you again in 2011!

Recap : January to April

January: Started the new year with family bonding at Tesek Merimbun, it was fun. Looking forward for more family bonding next year. We should do that more often. It'll be great but not at Tasek Merimbun again. It is one of the most heritage parks in ASEAN with all its flaura and fauna and unidentified 2000 species of habitat but the facilities provided there; two thumbs down. Toilets are dirty like it never been cleaned ever since it was built.





Remember I set 'health' as one of my resolutions this year? Well, I guess that's already out of the picture. Haha..




Azim still has Dai's bracelet.



Dai found her long lost friend.




Flood that shook Brunei during Obama's Inaugural.



Tuting's wedding (Forgot his real name)



 


February : S-league started where Brunei DPMM FC appered for the first time in one of the most Asia's competitive league. DPMM FC's maiden match was aginst Young Lions which ended 1 - 1. I also joined the marching for Brunei's 25th National Day under Yayasan and I got free track suit, cap and a t-shirt.  [SGuess what, tarus I mencari the track suit segala semua.. Hahaha.. I forgot I have those. Now I can use them for the gym. Yeppi]. This year's national day was held at the stadium under the sun which was really really hot. The stadium was not full and people went home early. They should have done it during the night like the 20th National Day and to date, the 20th National Day was the best ever in performance wise and the spectacular fireworks.




UBD open day was held for four days.


V'day at Hua Ho


Went to RTB Carnival and support an ex-friend in DJ 60 Saat Coompetition.




March : Was a special month for me because it was my 20th birthday and it was held at Cheeze Box, surprised by Dai, Iq, Dum, Izza, Pytat and Fyl. Laps you guys. I didn't expect it to the max. No wonder si dai memajal bawa bejalan on that day. Also in this month, I be H.A.P.P.Y which stands for HIV Awarness Programme among Peers and Youth. It was really fun, Dai cried as usual, Py faked it and I had no feeling. 



Please don't call me 'tal' in 2010.



Next day after my birthday~




Aprril : I remebered tricking Dai by putting a warning note on her car because she parked at lecturers' car park and she thought the note was real. Hahaha.. Kana u sebiji. During this month, I watched a lot of DPMM FC's matches with Mizan and Dai.






During the SAF FC game.


2 days to 2010.

No More Amah?

I am now sitting on the edge of the chair, thinking how my life will change from this moment and the days to come. I've been feeling 'something' lately, I don't know what it is or what causes it but deep down there's a word that describes it... well I guess I'll never find it.

2009 has been a great year for me, all the ups and downs were all the ingredients of life and I'm glad I had those because it has been an education, it has been a friendship and it has been amazing. Now, I have to stop here because my dad wants me to go to Hua Ho to buy a swimming board for Faiq *sigh* Now 2009 is coming to an end, a lot of memories were carved on my heart and will cherish forever. Hayy! Obba I. So, soon there will be a 2009 recap and pictures/video of the good moments with my friends.

Our maid has gone to her home this morning, of course it was sad. There were tears too, not me but I almost! As much as she annoyed me during these last two years such as;

1. Low water pressure during my morning shower because she opened the tap downstairs for the laundry.
2. She cooked ayam goreng, tomato, kunyit, salai over and over again.
3. Her busybody-ness.
4. Sitting on the kitchen's floor like there was no chairs in there.
5. Knocking on my door for hangers.

In spite all those, she was a very good maid I must say. She just kept silent when scolded and was good in keeping the house clean even though there were some problems during the first few months she was here. Now she just finished her first job as amah, she can go back with all the cleaning or cooking lessons she had done here. [So many 'she'] I hope she will be doing ok and find a job soon since she is like 2 years older than me! For us at home, of course it will be different. We're gonna do our own laundry, wash our plates  [owh crap] after we eat and everything. Well I guess, it's time for all of us... to grow.

Se Tues La Day Sa

I went out for two movies yesterday. In the afternoon, I went to watch Avatar and in the evening, went for TPATF which means (especially to Pytat) The Princess and The Frog. Both movies are beautiful in different kind of way.


First, Avatar! It was totally awesome dude! The graphic, the plot, the setting were all brilliantly produced. Here's a little bit about the movie. Jake, a paraplegic ex-marine, is brought to another planet called Pandora which is inhibited by the Na'vi, a humanoid race with their own language and culture. However, their planet has been under threat by the greedy people from Earth, which the Na'vi called 'The Sky People'. So in order for 'The Sky People' to be with the Na'vi, they have to be like them, a tall creature with blue skin. That's why they make an avatar for each qualified person.


If planet Pandora do exist, woww.. who wouldn't wanna go there? It's a beautiful place where the animals and palnts produce their own lights during night time. However, the animlas over there are very wild but still a nice place to live in. Oh yeah, Pandora has floating mountains while Earth has nothing but flying aeroplanes and helis carrying people from one place to another and at the same time polluting the environment.



From the director of Titanic

presents...


Verdict : A-




-----------------------------------------------


Good movie. I didn't know it was gonna be a cartoon, so that turned me off a little bit. It's a typical fairy tale movie which ends with the prince marrying a poor girl and live happily ever after. Like other fairy tale stories, this movie also involves magic (such as vodoo), talking animals, hero is the prince. What makes this movie a bit special is that when the 'princess' kissed the frog, the frog didn't turn into a prince, instead the princess became a frog too. Then the story went on with the journey of the two frogs in a wild place to find a solution for them to change back to human. Along the journey, they made new friends and there were also some obstacles + the feeling of love started to bloom! Not to forget their other friend, Evangaline. Bintang yang dorang selalu buat wish and yg nda benama jadi benama tia.


Walt Disney presents.....


a movie which Dai fell asleep during the show...


The Princess and The Frog


Verdict : C+

Reviews

ORPHAN


Iq was right. This movie is membari garigitan. Hayyyyy gilaaa! Banar.. You should watch it. Just look at the poster below, meliat mua nya sudah membari kan meng-umph bah. Sok suci lah konon.




Verdict : B




I don't wanna spoil the story line. Agatah membali di komunis meliat. Haha.. I recently watched the DVD at Dai's and at that time we were making a greeting video. I didn't focus the movie at first but towards the middle part.. wow!! the cruelty began. Imagine you adopted a kid who is a murderer and very clever in making others believe she is innocence. There's no tension between her and her step-father but there is a sharp as a tack tension between esther and the mother because only a mother could tell or feel if their children are in danger. Really? Btw, why would anyone name their child esther? That's alcohol + acid. Haha..



SANTAU


Based on a true story.

Verdict : B



Halim and his family are blessed with happiness and wealth gained through his own growing business. On top of that, he has an understanding wife Nina who stands by his side and a lovely daughter named Tuti. Near Halim's home, there is an un-rented house. Ever since the neighbour moved out from that house, Tuti sees mysterious happenings until a point where Nina begins to experience weird incidents that have never happened before. Nina's character soon changes drastically, where she becomes a lazy and hot-tempered person. Halim does not believe Nina and Tuti's story on the existence of the paranormal until one night; Halim rushes home upon hearing his wife being possessed. It was okay and better than Jangan Tegur because in Jangan Tegur, I thought the husband or the actor was terrible, he had trouble pronouncing his words like antah.. lembik hayyyy kalau ia becakap. In Santau, the 'ghost' was an old woman which is VERY similar like the old woman in 'Drag me to hell'. That made me wondering during the movie. There were nine of us and surprisingly Filah was also there. Good job to Jau for forcing her to join.



It was a dead silence when suddenly Fyl screamed her lungs out seeing the 'ghost' shadow passing by. Haha.. everyone was laughing since she was the only one screaming during that part because that part was nothing to be screamed about. Like I said, just shadow passing by. I laughed really hard after that sampai kepanasan rasanya badan. Hayyy.. Safwan managed to come tough for this movie, he's not a big fan of this kind of movie but yes, he went through it after all but with his hands covering his eyes if not popcorn 90% of the time. Dai and Badtz were the two stuborns during the movie, Badtz couldn't keep his hands still, he just went on poking all of us even we were 4 or 5 seats away from him. Panjang tangan tah namanya tu while Dai, ia ani 2 x 5 jua menurut perintah si badtz, COULDN'T SAY NO to him. So she did what she Badtz told her to do. Not only that, her right hand was also annoying, she couldn't stop rubbing/pinching my thigh. Let me remind you, we are not muhrim. Hayyyy... Not just that, sometimes her hands suddenly slipping into 'my area'. I don't know if that was a honest mistake or an opportunity for her to touch things in the dark but please.. don't ever let your hands near 'my area' again.



Then after the movie, we went chilling at duii maaa... Mameh Beribi. At first, we couldn't decide where to eat so we ended up with the mameh one. Some of them wanted to eat at Kianggeh but thank god it was raining because I really don't wanna eat there, why go for something far when there are plenty of restaurants in Gadong since we were all in Gadong. I was hoping we could eat at McD and only to find out Fyl had the same idea too after eating at Mameh. I nda bunyi2 kan mau McD because some of them atu kan bediet2 segala. Suud nda makan, si Rafie pun nda makan jua, Si jau makan yang ringgan2 saja and si Dai atu sama jua, eksen saja makan sikit dapan kami... hmph tia jadinya.. and thanks to Suud for accidentally spilling his drink at me. Next time lagi we do that. Laps





NINJA ASSASSIN


It's about love. It's about revenge. Mana-mana tia.


Verdict : B
R-rated movie.




Great movie. I watched it in the cinema next to a stranger who almost drank my hot Milo. Somehow during the movie, I thought that Rain resembled someone I know, Badtz. Haha.. It's funny but it's true. Damn you badt! Maybe because of the hair. Yeah.. The plot was interesting, there are many funny moments in between the serious scene. You should go watch it. I don't know how to describe about the movie. Lapss.. and one more thing, Dai hated the leading actress's voice, Naomie Harris or Mika because she thought Mika sounded like Donald Duck. Haha.. Couldn't agree more.





ALL ABOUT STEVE


"The Proposal's" Sandra Bullock, Oscar nominee Thomas Haden Church and "The Hangover's" Bradley Cooper star in a hilarious tale of a woman who, after falling hard for a guy, thinks they're an item; unfortunately, he thinks she's stalking him.




[Click picture to go to main site]Verdict : A-



From the producer of Miss Congeniality and Two Weeks Notice, also The Proposal (which btw Sandra Bullock) presents All About Steve.


Characters:
- Mary Horowitz is a cruciverbalist - crossword puzzle constructor. Knows a lot of words with the same meaning. Normal behaviour eludes her.

- Steve is a camera man for CCN news. Like Chandler, he is afraid of commitments. His job is to be everywhere to film any breaking news.

Plot:
Mary Horowitz is as you all know, a weekly crossword puzzle constructor for a newspaper in her town. She is kind of dorky, betty-like characters but weird and has more sense of fashion. One evening, her parents set her up on a blind date with a good looking guy, steve. She thinks that they're meant to be together so she follows Steve everywhere to prove that they're an item. Steve on the other hand thinks that she's crazy, following him criss crossing the country covering breaking news stories. Hmm what will happen between the two? Go watch it.

Setting:
Around USA.

Theme:
Friendship - how she touches everyone's heart.

If you buy me, a cool jeep.


I wish you all the best in your life endeavours, great success, great new friends and great segala-galanya. Thanks for never forgetting us here in Brunei. Remember this;

'Make new friends and keep the old, one is silver and the other gold'

Don't make new friends and forget the old, cus you'll regret until you are old.



You are 7671 days old.


Today, on your special day,
My heart reaches out to you and pray,
May He blesses you with happiness forever,
Today, tomorrow, here and hereafter…

DST Carnival

It was great. Had fun with the peeps and it was colourful, blue and green... How earth-y is that? We arrived there around 4-ish and Vj Utt was already on the stage emcee-ing the show. It was good to see people throwing themselves out just to get on the stage with Utt and losing all the challenges like the so called 'Asian killer'. Fortunately, for me... We met Badtz aka Gai, the female- guy with his long soft hair like Rain in the movie called 'Ninja Assassin'. So we stick together2 tia.



Vj Utt and DJ Jenny on the stage with some contestants.



Three different hairstyles, #1, pony tail and long hair.


After that, there was an autograph session with Vj Utt at booth no 3, my favourite number. The Queue was really long and we didn't know where to start. Dai was like 'Eh malas ku eh, ramai urg tapi aku mau..'. Come on girl, next time make up your mind FAST!. After 30 minutes of Queuing up, finally Dai's turn.. So I took some shots of her and Vj Utt. If she told you she kissed Utt, she is definitely LYING!! BIG FAT LIAR!! Hahahaha.. Utt thought I was gonna take picture with him too but instead we just shook hand because people at the back were pushing hard. Relax people, you will get your turn.



This doesn't look like a kiss? Ryte?


After that, we went around the carnival to look for other things while the AF stars took control the staging area because I don't really watch AF nor do I update my self with the development of Malaysian music industry. Plus I rarely watch TV nowadays, I have You Tube :P



Haha.. That is funny.

FYI, Dai brought home the carrot. Hahaha.. The story goes like this; one day, there was this girl who was very thirsty. She wanted to buy a drink. She stopped by to a booth and bought a drink. While waiting for her drink, Badtz took a carrot and satu biji limau kasturi which he then put them inside Dai's widely open bag/purse. Pointing a knife to my stomach, Badtz threatened me not to tell Dai, so I just zipped my mouth. Sampai lah balik nda bebagitau. Midnight baru tah ia realise ia menapau buah2an tersebut.



This is how it originally look like.
Very funny! It looks exactly like Dai.




You know what building that is~


Then we went to see some reptiles, mostly snakes. Loved it! Imagine how they crawl on your neck. It felt so good. Like freshness feeling after the shower. Hayyyyy Obbaaaa!



Karang kana patuk baru ko tau!



I don't know what it is called but it's lovely.



It would be less scary if the python was yellow in colour.



Taking up the breeze on top of the hill.



Hey, they got bouncers!


They after sunset, beduyun tah we balik. Hayyyyyy!! Kami tinggalkan si Badtz keseorangan menacari adiknya yang sentiasa menghilang dan muncul hanya ketika lapar. Pandai~



--------------------------------------------




Verdict : B


A week before the exam, Daiera (combine) and I went for a movie 3 years ahead of time, 2012. First, we tried The Mall Cineplex but the 2.00pm show was packed. FULL! So as the 3.00pm, 4.00pm, 6.00pm and 7.00pm. The only available time with better seatings was after 9.00pm. No way we were going to wait for that long! So, we drove to SQ and fortunately for us, there was some available seats for us... Row number three from the screen. Haha.. but at least ada. The movie was awesome but the destructions were so over according to some scientists and geologist. What they saw in the movie would never occur damn fast like that with the tsunami coming inland for thousands of kilometres and so on. I think it's kinda fun to see something like that, that'll make the people more aware to protect the climate and stop destroying the earth.. if not, that'' happen. Haha.. Of course this is a fiction movie and NO WAY! THE EARTH WILL NOT END on 21/12/12.

For the movie, we could also learn family value like how the family reunited in protecting each other from the destruction (in which Dai cried many times while Iera and I laughed.. haha..).. Well at least there's a reason to cry because it was between people and people. Jangan mcm allien in the attic, meliat alien balik ke planetnya pun kan menangis. Hahahaha.. If I were to compare the old version of 2012, the new one is more logical than the old one because in the old movie, the destruction was quiet intense too but was stopped by a pregnant lady who eventually gave birth inside the mayan temple. As if a new Adam was born, so the world did not end. Unlike the new one, the destruction did happen until it finally came to a halt and no one gave birth or whatever. It's just that the human civilisation was saved (so did the giraffes, elephants and Monalisa.. haha).. and it went back to the year 0001, as the saying goes 'The end is the new beginning'.



Old movie poster 0f 2012.
That is the mayan temple.


I shall review another movie I watched today. So stay happy :D
