December

December, one of the months that I love the most. Usually, I do almost nothing for this month but not this year.Did I mentioned I'm 18? Well I am. 18 and free, sort of. my Baby bought me something very2 shiny. I'm getting my drivers license soon that is if I pass.

In November I've been busy with my exams. My goal to pass all of my subjects were scored and I can't be more proud of that. Its a good start of accomplishing my goals. Next year I'm hoping to be on top of my game. No more fooling around for me. My focus point will be narrow.

What did I do during this holiday? well for sure a lot of photography. and one more thing, I lost a lot of weight lately, physically, but the damn scale don't seem to agree with my appearance. I mean the outfits fits but the scale is ARRGHH!!!

Kaka Maya is getting married on the 17th. happy for her. Also kaka nana is already engaged.

thinking of redoing my scrapbook tho.

my shopping face. don't I look happy?

Yess!! done a LOT of makeup shopping and seen a lot of movies in this month. I also learnt to make the smokey eyes look.

One whole month since I blogged and there's no other perfect time to blog within this month than my exam week. YAY me!! HAHA. my language tutor is gonna be so pissed if she saw my non grammatical writing.

So over this past few weeks I've been air tight bust with all the things around me. Seriously. Classes till evening then I have revisions at night well some nights I skipped my revisions. Hmm..


Raya was a blast for me this year. Went to a minute number of houses but got loads of 'DUIT RAYA!!'. Lastly my maths AS is finally over now I can sleep better at night. Now Bio to go. Hope I can do well in my paper 1 n 2 cause I suck at paper 3 already. I was in a panic situation. Didn't think straight. ok thats all I have to go study.

fasting month

It's now the 14 or 15th day of Ramadan maybe. Muslims all over the world are undergoing fasting month including restriction to smoking, drinking, sex and so on. Ramadan also includes family gathering for the sake of being together and sharing what we have. Surprisingly, in one of the Arabic countries, the endowment dates have become very popular as sweetness of the date takes the edge off hunger(This prevents a person from overeating after he has opened his fast. Dates contain calcium, sulphur, iron, potassium, phosphorus, manganese, copper, magnesium, volatile oils, Vitamin-B6, folic acid, Potassium, Iron and Magnesium, proteins, sugars, vitamins and are rich in natural fibers which contribute to a healthy body and mind. Dates provides natural sugar in the form of glucose and fructose which is ready for immediate absorption and, is infinitely far superior to cane-sugar.) until they have named a date species after the president of USA Barack Obama.

In France, this year is the first year that halal meat is sold and labelled in supermarkets(broadcasted my Arabic TV station)

Opening fast time is when the sundown, as Muslims say, the Maghreb prayer has started. According to the Koran, sundown begins when a black thread can no longer be distinguished from a white one.

world's worst sons

i was looking through the foreign policy's website just now and I really like what I read. This might be one of my top recommended websites for educational reference. It also includes a lot of amusing pictures globally.

amongst all the article I've read, one article really caught my attention and I have pasted a few part of the articles. enjoy =)

..."Bad behavior: Although he has no formal government position, Sheikh Issa, whose brother Khalifa is the current ruler of Abu Dhabi, is one of the emirate’s most prominent real estate developers. He was previously best known for building the Al Hakema tower, a massive complex in honor of his late father. But thanks to one night in the desert and an ill-advised videotape, Sheikh Issa’s name is now synonymous with sadism and abuse of power.

A video obtained by ABC News shows a group of men, including the sheikh, torturing an Afghan grain merchant who he accuses of cheating him. In the video, which was allegedly shot on his desert ranch at night, Issa fires an automatic weapon around the man, stuffs sand in his mouth, sodomizes him with an electric cattle prod, lights him on fire, and pours salt on his bleeding wounds."

August

just got home from my exhausting day at school. It's puasa here!! Its like the fourth day of puasa and this year is going to be superb according to the family forecast. HAHA. OMG!!! I have the most important thing to tell!!! I DIED MY HAIR BROWN!! HAHA So much has happened since I last updated this blog. I really need to work on my vocab.

okay let's see what happened this past few weeks. Masi sharen's geng came to our my house quite frequently because the beach has become quite an attraction now. hee. We played in the sand like the whole day for three straight weeks. It was fun having a crowded house and was even more fun when the people are all crazy like me. HAHA. Aidil has become a very2 gorgeous boy. He just shines up the room with his extremely stunning stunts. He calls me "ammmaa!!" when he says it doesn't sounds like "amah"(maid) HAHA. so hilarious when he calls me that.

OOO!!! I dropped my physics already! yahoo!! Its been a relief that i don't need to do those stupid calculations anymore. hee. now I'm continuing with bio, chem maths and GP. life at school has not changed so much. the only changes is that i have PS in set 4 which is one of the best PS sets. I get to hang out with Biel, odah, hakeen, aez, nabilah , fikah, sufi, aimy, fifi, yasmin, etc. well you get it.

before this I was looking through people's blogs and one really caught my eye. It was by a friends of mine. OMG he's turned out to be so bitchy!! hate him now! he leterally cursed all of my form 5 friends. not gonna mention his name tho. I didn't thought he was capable of doing such mean things. sometimes its best that you just become the nice guy. or at least don't become an AHOLE. ok I'm gonna ignore that topic. just needed to get it out of me. =)

August is also the month of my boo's birthday. =) HAPPY BIRTHDAY BOO <3>

the last agenda is some of my friends are leaving school and going to other venues. sad to hear that but that's cool with me. they're still gonna be my friends. =) Mariah left for UK yesterday. She is probably already in Brunei hall now. I didn't get the chance to meet her before she went but I'll web cam her asap. HEHE. miss her already. today is also haki, roza, afiy and wa'ie 's last day. boohoo. they got scholarships to JIS. good luck there guys =)

Al-Fatihah

As the whole world know already, mikey dah meninggal, Its the right word considering he's a muslim. I heard he just got back dari naik haji. Haji micheal?... no comment on that. in my point of view he is an icon to millions and hopefully a person of god. He was supposed to perform the last 'curtain cut' in July but fate shows otherwise. btw ya menninggal malam jumaat. HEHE

Eclub activity

on Saturday 20th June 09 I went on an eClub trip with all my fellow eclub members. It was awsomeably brilliant!! we started at around 8 from KB and picked up some people along the way. the journey took about 2 hours altogether because the bus was totally slow!! HAHA. By the time we reached Serasa beach we were already so tired. =) we played with loads of turtles. They are sososo cute!! Turtles are my most favourite animals now besides horses and penguins. OHHH!!! AND!!! the turtle man showed us pictures of their previous visits to schools all over Brunei and one picture came up very familiar. HAHA. It was during our form one period. My first visit ever in PJN. We were so cute back then. After the turtle place we went to the mall to have our lunch. At exactly two we depart from the Mall and went to BSB.

This was where all the real fun starts. As we reached BSB, our guide,Faizal, hops in the bus and gave us a brief description about our next activity. The activity was tracking wild life using boat. SO MUCH FUN!!!! After we geared up and then we were set to track. W were advised to keep a slow voice even tho we seen a croc or whatsoever. We went approximately 15Km(not really sure) through the river canal. Faizal said the oil in Brunei won't be finished as what "some people" said. Along the way he showed us mangroves, monkeys a.k.a Kera,historical landmarks such as buildings built by the 16th sultan and the ship that turned to rock, different types of birds and GET THIS!!! proboscis monkeys. I've seen a proboscis!! The thing about proboscis monkeys is they travel in famalies and there is only one male in each family. the others are all females. The baby males after they have matured they have to run from their original families.

thursday

It has been so long since I blogged. a lot had happened since. on Thursday I was at the beach with my ECLUB mates. =) We picked up trash at the pantai. We started at the beachsite infront the playground and walked one Km both sides because we were divided into 2 groups. =) I was fun jua lah. Not as boring as I expected. It made me sweat like a pig tho. HAHA. cleaning up beaches is a very important practice that we should all do togather either in schools or at home. I lve very close to the beach and my family and I often do our part in protecting our enviroment.

I just love the show towards the end cause the VERY BIG people are really being transformed into petites. OMG they transform BANARBANAR!!. HAHA. I also visited oprah.com and this year's theme on O is something about living healthyly. I really adore Dr. Oz. Great guy, great personality. I like the way he likes to mingle with his patients. owww!! did you know that a woman has a smaller bladder than a man. =)

three days holidays

I had 3 days of no school day. It was super fun. I was on skype all day long, talking. I was thinking about starting my revision yesterday ( Thursday) but spent most of yesterday chatting and talking to Wie. *sigh* temptations-temptations. I hate it when we have the energy and enthusiasm to do something and then the next day it all disappears.

OWWW!! I have a funny story!!! on Wednesday, Aiman decided to go shoe shopping cause his shoe was torn but he has a test on the next day. SHOCKINGLY!!! We met his teacher whom was going to give the test. HAHA. mommy had to make an excuse for him. "payah cari di tutong" =)))

on the way to BSB I took pictures of the sky. YAY me. It is one of the symbol of boredom in the car. It really makes you happy tho. Tomorrow is my maths exam and I'm revisioning while blogging.


yesterday also, I went to aneesah's school during break time. This was also my school before I went to KB. SEKOLAH RENDAH TUMPUAN TELISAI TUTONG II. Her friends were so cute. kids nowadays are so daring. they're no more shyshy. this one kid comes up to me and asked

"where are you from?"(in PERFECT English)

HAHA maybe he taught I was Caucasian. snapped some pictures

I took some pictures of the situation when it was in the middle of about to rain. Scary in real life but brilliant in the picture. =) It was kinda dirty by the way.

BRUNEI PEOPLE CLEAN YOUR BEACHES!!!

We are maybe the only country that is fortunate enough to see its sea. Like some of my cousins in KL they hardly can see beaches. HONESTLY. They were soo 'sakai' to see the beach at the back of my house. =)HAHA. unfortunately I didn't take any pictures of the pasar. As usual, look at my other blog to see the other pictures. its in the second column.

Abortion

last week I thought my GP teacher asked me us to write an analysis of an article. I wanted it to be perfect so I did something on abortion. Which then turned out like crap. HAHA. but during the time I was writing about abortion it makes me think how lucky I am born in Brunei where it is illegal to abort children. We don't suffer from any horrifying stories. In some countries, they abort children just because they don't have money... doesn't ADOPTION occur in their minds?.. morons... My mom once worked as a nurse when she was waiting for her form 5 result a longlonglong time ago. She told me most young girls do that and sometimes they give birth and throw the poor baby away. SO CRUEL man. If you don't want the baby then don't be so eager to get a partner.
