Hello!!!

Assalamualaikum my dear readers,

Wowwwieeee, it has been a heck of a time since I last updated this blog. And of course, cliche reasons would be 'been busy', but I haven't really been that busy. Let's just say, I found another purpose to fill in my void.

So what have I been doing for the past few months - as of today my office work has been up to date. No more piling up of the work. Been doing my work as soon as it comes and I found out this way I have more free-er days in the week with out feeling guilty or freaked out when my dad calls me. Been busting my ass in my 'home gym', yessss I have a, well, I can say a complete home gym now, thanks to my dad that is. The treadmill, the stationary bike, the lat, the bench, the lazy bike, the dumb bells and weights, etc etc Kinda cool! I don't have to pack up my stuff and drive all the way to gym anymore. Though the Darling and I have a whole workout plan for the month of December. As he would say it, 'tinggal di gym tani'. Haha

Haven't seen the girls in months. I assume everyone is busy with their own thing now. The good thing to know is everyone is happy. Kiah's wedding will be in December. I hope we will be around during that time cause the mommy is planning on a holiday. We'll see :)

Last night, was over at the Darling's to help him out with his presentation. After hours of brushing up on the presentation, we went out for a while to have dinner. We decided to go this place not far from his house, since we're on a time constraint, and it was raining, so yea. This place was ok, but it's the type of restaurant that, well, how can I put this, if I had to list out all the eatery in Brunei that place would be number.. I can't even put a number to it! haha We were there ONCE last year..minum saja kali.. It was a different atmosphere for us but surprisingly the food was delicious.. This restaurant has a lot of branches, and I used to 'tapau' the one near to my place..it has good food yes..but at this particular branch..ntah ah..maybe the crowd atu kali..barijab..banyak ganster heheh But anyhoos, while we were waiting for our food, watching Naked Gun on the TV and observing the people around us, the Darling suddenly popped out an interesting statement of how we were always together. And slowly we were recapping the past times, and how he was in denial. Had a good laugh about it. And it suddenly made me think. I had never been so comfortable with a man this much. He said that as well vice versa. And I believed, back in the days when we were friends, it was that level of comfort that made me drawn to him in the first place. It made me realize how that comfort level made all my neurotic judgement and constant annoyance came down to a very settling feeling. And it has been until today. And I feel so blessed. Alhamdulilah. Not only that, a little birdie told me that this person that I was seeing before pulled a 'chris brown' and worse. Wow.. listening to that news and enjoying the love that I have now ... it felt like a blessing .. alhamdulilah ... And this reminds me, ''allah sentiasa menyayangi umat nya yang bersikap sabar"" .... :)

Tomorrow is the Darling's big presentation at Livewire. The business plan that he'll be presenting will be the plan that we have always been talking about. Been helping him out with the presentation and rehearsing for the past few nights. I know you can do it. All of the schools and institution that has participated, only 5 were selected nationwide. And the Darling is one of em! Three from his school that is. I assume they must be that good cause out of the 5 that were selected, none of it were from UBD. All the best baby! Don't knock em dead - you knock em alive!

Gotta hit the sack now peeps! Early morning cardio baby!! Burn you calories!! Burrrn!!

Enjoy the video peeps! Check out his other videos as well - it'll sure brighten up your day!

Assalamualaikum my dear readers,

Wooowiee..it has been such a darn while since I updated this blog. It is so out-dated that I haven't even changed the movie picture of the Orphan and even my 'word of the day'. I will find a suitable time to keep this blog updated insha-allah. Before anything, how was your puasa so far? Mine has been so great and I have to thank Allah S.W.T for his blessings. My life has been so happy. Work has been, well, I do it in my own time a.k.a late night or when boring-boring masa patang but everything has been submitted as to date. It has been a while since my dad screamed at me for not membuat tuntutan or suppliers not yet been paid. Hehehe. Now payments are being paid smoothly, my dad's happy so I'm happy. No more 'paning babah cara alai berkeraja ani eh'. Just as long I submit everything before its due date that is mid and end of the month, suppliers and worker's salary being paid - my job is done! :)

For the Love life, people may say 'I've heard this before' - but yea..it has been great and being with the Darling has been the greatest experince for me. Everyday is a new day for smiles and laughter and I am just so ecstaticly happy.

There's too many events and occurings happened during this holy month of Ramadhan, and alhamdulilah it has been great. The Darling has already retreated from his 2-weeks of berdagang at the Stadium Parking Lot for the Gerai Ramadhan, and now relieving the start of a 2 week school/hari raya holiday.

Anyhoos..I would like to share this post that I got from strictlybeautiful. I have always been a huge supporter of the nature i.e. trees, water, animals and pollution and insha-allah by posting this post I may have done a small part of my contribution to make the earth go green and the greens go greener!!

Daku mendengar Rasulullah bersabda: Barangsiapa menanam pokok, kemudian dimakan oleh manusia atau mahluk-mahluk Allah yang lain, maka bagi orang yang menanam pokok itu akan mendapat ganjaran pahala sedekah. (HR Musnah Ahmad)

Assalamualaikum my dear readers,

Alhamdulilah..it is confirmed that 1st Day of Puasa will start on Saturday 22nd August 2009. Either today or Saturday I seriously don't mind because it is Ramadhan..a holy month. I am always welcoming its arrival, and alhamdulilah now it is finally here. Syukur.

Well today (Thursday), we're suppose to have a dinner outing with the Ladies and respective partners at Capers. I had to cancel on the last minute due to a family dinner outing. I hope the Ladies had fun. Still need updates on the outing dinner from them.

So yea, I had dinner with the Family, with the Darling and Amlir at "Cottage Grill", and of course most of us had the most recommended dish, the "marble" meat. Dinner was superb. Loves it. After dinner we went to watch the movie that I had been so wanting to watch - "Orphan" and I must rate it a verdict A!!!!! It is a seriously crazy teeth grinding bari garam hati movie which just clearly shows how good it was. The entire theatre had such a huge effect on it. It was slow at first but the mid part to the ending was soooooooooo .. you just have to watch it for yourself and you'll know what I mean. Lucky me the movies I have been watching lately was really good..happy me :)

Any hooters, Selamat Menunaikan Ibadah Puasa to all my Muslim readers, and with this I would like to take the opportunity to ask forgiveness for any wrong doings or sayings, yang sengaja atu tidak di sengajakan.. Salam semua :)

Assalamualaikum my dear readers,

Am just sipping on my Ice Tea Latte Double Vanilla (though the ice hancur sudah) after doing my monthly account statement updates for the month of July. I am a spendthrift, somehow, though mostly are spent on indulging delicious food, but I do keep myself on track with my spending. I am a receipt keeper no doubt and thanks to i-banking I am able to keep track of everything. Seeing all these numbers, my mind is subtlely finding ways to minimize unnescessary spending and create some space in my bank account for savings for more 'important' occasions, and alhamdulilah for the past few months.

I have mentioned about a book that I bought last month, 'Desert Royal' by Jean Sasson, well it was just two days ago I had started to read it and I must say I am very fond of it. I am going one chapter a day, I love to read at night cause it is when I find it to be most peaceful. I was shocked to find out the insides of a country that by common knowledge is known to be religious and sacred. The facts I had known about the country went from richer to richest and I have watched E! Channel's Most Richest but I have to compliment this country's wealth is EXTRAVAGANT! I remember vividly one of the sentences from the book 'Kareem (the husband) had sent a trusted Lebanese employee on ONE of our PRIVATE PLANES to PARIS for the sole purpose of acquiring a special gift for me. The TEN-TIERED DIAMOND CHOKER was now fastened around my neck'. I was like 'whaaaaaaaaaaaaaat??? For real???!!!!' What fascinated me most is it is a TRUE STORY! The stories came in 3s that is 'Princess' and 'Daughters of Arabia'. When I read it I imaigined to be Jean Sasson doing the interviews for the book- yeah I have a very fertile imagination hehe ok now let's stop at that. Whenever I finish a chapter I would relay it to the Darling and he has been a very good audience listening to my imagination version of the book. Loves him!

I think that's the whole beauty of reading. It makes you use your imagination and let you be creative with the stories. It's like you're the director of a movie. I used to read a lot in my teenage days, books like Sweet Valley High by Francine Pascal, and that was a huge hit back then. I found my SVH book collections in the store room few months back and I couldn't believe how much of them I got. I remember my dad used to book his daily newspaper at the book store at the airport. Yang di ujung dulu and now it's...apa ah..jadi entrance kan ke Airport Restaurant. So in the evenings we would pick it up and I was always looking forward to it sal nya I can get to pick a new book every now and then. Siuk dulu di airport atu eh. And the books are always the up-to-date ones.

I remember reading 'Sweet Valley University - The House Of Death'. I read it when I was 11 or 12 and it took me quite a while to finish it cause it had all those big words that I couldn't understand, so payah jua kan imagine tu. Everytime I come across one of the big words I would refer it back to the dictionary and it took quite a while. Balum abis high school udah tah membaca university punya hehehe. But I did get to finish reading in about a month's time. Hmmmm siuk lah dulu atu. Debt free..all you need to do is go to school..buat homework..boring-boring baca buku. Now ni kalau boring boring..jalan..keluar lagi duit tu. But alhamdulilah atas segala yang diberikan :)

The 'Orphan' will be in the cinemas this Thursday!! Looking forward to watch it!! At last!!

Ok then peeps! Salaaaaaaaaaaam :)

The book that took my reading
to another level hehehe

Slipped!.

Assalamualaikum my dear readers,

So how was your weekend? Mine has been lovely and romantic until.... Let me share how my weekend went..

Saturday night - Had a romantic dinner with the Darling at "Cottage Grill" and I must say the food was fabulous! Especially the Darling's 'marble meat' that was recommended by the owner of the restaurant. I should have ordered that! But my Grill Salmon was also not bad too. We had it all stylish and fancy by having non alcoholic "Apple Cider" and "Root" beer. *macam arah restaurant mahal hehehe And the amazing thing is the food pricing there is very reasonable with such good quality. The 'marble meat' was cooked in medium well and the meat was very tender and juicy to the taste. Nyum!!!! After dinner we went to catch a movie "The Last House On The Left", from the poster it seemed like a horror movie, but it was not :P We watched it at the Empire Cinema and had the comfy sofas..and I was thinking this is the right way to watch a movie :) I should say the movie is a double thumbs up! I gave it a double because the Darling couldn't stop yapping 'kenapa tu? mana ia? you think anuuu...' When he yaps that much that means he is really enjoying himself hehehe It is a brutal movie and I was speechless at the end because I was expecting this and it came out that - all in all Verdict A.

Another movie that I watched on Friday was "District 9" - another Verdict A movie cause I didn't expect the movie to turned out like that in the end. It's about aliens and humans, which I thought it is going to be like G.I.Joe and Transformers or something. But it was a really good movie with a very sad ending..I was really touched. So guys I reckon you should be hitting the cinemas!

Sunday - Was about to go out and pick up the Darling when I slipped at the front porch on my niece's rubber puzzle mat thing and landed on back and hurt my right arm and the back of my head! Seriously I landed with a huge thumppp!!! You know when people say something about 'their life flashing right before their eyes" when something bad is about to happen to them, well I believe that now. Before the unfortunate "slip" I was deciding which sandals to wear, and I decided to wear the crocs which the Darling bought for me, you know it was raining and I think it was safer to wear the crocs, though I wore it almost everyday :P Just a few steps after I could feel the lost of friction beneath my feet and by right things should happen fast, but I swear I could witness the whole unfortunate incident right before my eyes, the chair, the ceiling, the rain, everything was in my sight and then thumppp!! I was lying down on the tiles! I didn't feel the pain much at first. Took my time to relax in the car and called the Darling for some short shoulder crying session. When I came over the Darling was sweet enough to rub some hot ointment to my injured arm, though after that he made fun of it by comparing which fall was worse, my recent slip or my 'terpelicuk' incident at Mindef few months back. He is such a meanie but at the same time such a sweet angel :) Loves it!!

My right arms feels really painful by the minute and I feel dizzy whenever I lie down :( If things get worse I should get a check up tomorrow...

I'm going to end my weekend post with this cute video clip of "SERIOUS BABY" soooo adorable! Anyhooos I hope you'll enjoy it! Salam semua :)

Greatness.

Assalamualaikum my dear readers..

Well it has been great so far and apologize for the lack of updates over the weekend. Good things has happened, on a daily basis actually, alhamdulilah..and I hope it will continue on.

Last Sunday was ~N~'s bersanding at her residence. The bride and groom wore maroon with silver touches of the embroidery and ~N~'s silver tudong which totally highlights with the clean and sweet white background of the pelamin and bouquet of red roses at the sides makes the whole scenery elegant. I got to hitch a ride with Pips988 again..with Raidah, Dawi and her hubby Mazrul. And before anything, THANKS DAWI FOR THE KRISPY KREME!! Loves you!!!! While waiting for Dawi, we were already imagining the taste of the Original Glazed Donut..and to our surprise she did bought us some!!! I still remember when I had my first Krispy Kreme Original Glazed experience. I was queing at the Krispy Kreme counter in Manila, and while I was looking at the donuts through the glass, the kind attendant offered me a freshly baked just glazed donut and it just melt in my mouth and I end falling in love it and ignored the other donuts. Such a great time. Hahah enough about that.

I got to watch G.I.Joe The Rise of the Cobra with the Darling last Friday. I was actually looking forward to watch this movie since G.I.Joe was my childhood cartoon series but the movie, well, I yawned a couple of times and the Darling 'rested' his eyes a couple of times too. Hehehe. I still prefer 'The Proposal", but G.I.Joe, too much shooting and I just couldn't get the motive of it hehe Verdict C.

I found this one article on Twitter, which made me..laugh? I don't how to react to it when I read it but the thought of this infamous 'thing' to banned which I was not a huge fan in the first place, it's hilarious? The title was so attention catching that made me click on to it and read it.
Click on --> Speedos Banned (I told you it would catch your attention!) hahaha

Ok now peeps, I am gonna leave you with bits and pieces of ~N~'s Bersanding, the rest of it for those who has my FB account could catch it there! Salam peeps!!!!

*For those who thinks Happy will be Happy :)

The Happy Newly Weds!!


The friends



P.S. We hope you like the gift..it's for your private stash hahaha

Salaaam.

Assalamualaikum my dear readers,

Tomorrow is ~N~'s bersanding, I know she's excited right now. Inda bertidur kali. When it were me I would be super excited! For one day in your whole life you are nomited to be King And Queen for the day.
So yea for the past few weeks been thinking of what to get the newly weds for their wedding gift. PiPs988 and I have been exchanging ideas of what to get her and the yours truly was suppose to get the gift and then sibuk tiaaa. So went out with the Darling after school to shop for the gift, well firstly go makan cause the sweetness hasn't had lunch. I had this particular gift in mind, the one Pips988 and I had discussed, well luckily I went out shopping with the Darling where he gave another idea and we went to search for the fabulous version of 'his idea'. We went to this store that is "my taste" type of kadai. I loved the gift. Love it so much that I wanted to get one for myself. But unfortunately there is only one of it, ada plang yg kan sama but different design. Nda apa lah, lucky ~N~ she got one of a kind gift for her wedding! :) I definately know she would love it!

Anyhoos..will be posting pictures from the bersanding and before that I would like to share this link that would be useful to all my Muslim readers. Enjoy peeps! Happy weekend!
