Just another blog

i know im still pending for more pictures to be uploaded but its take atleast 4 minutes for just 2 photos, so i'll do it next time. u must b wondering why it takes a long time for me.. the size of the photos r too large so it takes 1 pixel per 5 seconds. im supposed to resize the photos before i upload but it means more work for me. thats why. n im too lazy n i've got other things to do than staring at my computer. Haha! blogging is done only during my spare time n when im feeling like it. like now.

I got back to work today... after recharging my brains for 2 weeks. you could imagine how it feels. stressful work pays off when u get paid. and for me, i appreciate the most when i get my holidays!! the longer the better! haha i just found out today that the company that im working with owes me 4 more days off, so they're giving me the holidays from friday to tuesday next week. and i've got they days all to myself and Gnol. hehe im planning to:

  1. clean up amah's room for new amah who is already in Brunei but we cant fetch her from Gnol's aunt yet koz her room is still in a mess.
  2. bring new amah shopping for grocesseries and necessities
  3. plant more flowers on father-in-law's yard
  4. search for free online jobs
  5. eat junk food with Gnol while watching Astro

I think i should also try to persuade Gnol to make me his housewife. which will be miracle if he would let me.

Good Nite fellas!

London

Random photos from London, madame tassaud.


























in this photo above, the road got stuck because there was an accident in front.. it took hours, so we got out of the bus.. i overheard a policeman talking that a man got killed in the accident. its not a surprise to the londoners, mony told me.. the other day when he came out of the underground, he past a dead guy on the street who happened to have been stabbed with knife.





Above: Gnol and his friend Hj Pian, his friends's friend and the one in stripe is his friend's friend friend's brother Kamilin who happened to be accompanying the two friends in london.


In the photo are Mony and I. i remember it was freezing cold this day. Last day in London

Hands Up!!

This is the gun thats caused us a little terror in the France Immigration. hahaha Refer to previous posting under 'Im Home!~'

Paris

Random photos from Paris and Disneyland. i dont have enough time to get these organised. hehe photos frm london will be next..

(click to enlarge)








I am sick in the bus here! i tried to smile hard.. my headache was unbearable.

Photos tomorrow

sorry, im not able to post photos tonite. Gnol n I are going out to the movies to watch twilight. i read the book, i recommend it to everyone who loves love stories. siok!

Im Home!~

Its good to be back home. so from the vacation Gnol n I had, i concluded that I HATE TRAVELLING when its too far. i hated everything from the plane, the train, the food, the smell, everything! its not that i hate the places, i think its because im already used to being home. there were good times though especially shopping in my favourite store - ESPRIT :) the place is my home for shopping n new clothes. i got a photo of me outside the store in France. I could still find "home" thousands miles away from brunei. its the farthest ESPRIT i've ever been to. hehe so im proud of it. overall it was a good experience with some flaws that will be remembered. i feel bad for Gnol because i spoiled our tour in Paris. I did mention that we had the best time is Disneyland Paris in my last post, another thing, Gnol bought a toy gun there which almost got us in trouble in france immigration. my bag was scanned and we were questioned by the officer. "are u carrying anything illegal in this bag?" he asked, we said no, "are u carrying worth more than eur$10k?" he continued, we said no. so he put in his hand inside my bag and took out the gun. Gnol n I smiled and we told him its just a toy from disneyland. skali he laughed a bit. although he tried to pull the trigger a couple of time just so he's sure its not a real gun.

After Paris, we went to Gnol's sister's place. it was a relax holiday after some hectic days in Paris. Kaka Ija and Abg Ian brought us to the biggest shopping mall in Sheffield, the meadow hall. it wasnt as impressive at first as i thought it was going to be. There were just too many people shopping for christmas, too crowded and there was no ESPRIT. hehe it was a decent shopping mall like the mall here in Brunei but 8 times bigger, i think. I actually enjoyed shopping there, we bought some clothes that are hardly found in other places. shirts and jeans that can actually fit us. haha my second impression was Wow! i love this mall!! haha not just that, Sheffield was much cleaner than Paris or London. it smelled like fresh air :) we stayed at abg ian and kaka's place for 3 nights and it was siok and homey.

London was good, atleast there were some fimiliar faces and food we found. we stayed just across Brunei Hall where my cousin Mony stayed, so it was easier for us to go around. Gnol and I ate at a malaysian restaurant (more like a cafeteria) called Bonda almost everyday. atleast we got to eat some decent food. it was better than gnol eating kebab and fish and chips everyday. it was easy to go around the places with the bus. i wish the same for Brunei, but too bad. hehe we also went to Madame Tussaud (not sure with the spelling) with Gnol's friends. that was a fun last day in London. Mony also spent the last afternoon with us, he brought us to picadilly circus to shop a little. I had a mixed feeling of leaving but i cant take it longer. it was too cold there and it sucks it didnt snow in london. hahaha cant wait for our next holiday trip to..... ??? Photos are up next. adios!

Homesick

Im currently in Sheffield, at Gnol's sister's place. Gnol and I went to Paris last wednesday for 3 days and it was a very painful holiday except for the day when we went to Disneyland. i got really sick when we arrived, we were supposed to go on tour around Eiffel Tower and the Seine River cruise but it was wasted. i kudnt stand the pain and feeling nausea from the train.

well, thats all for now.. just a short update frm me and honeymoon ;) upload photos when i get back to brunei.

childhood flashback

My father emailed me some real old photos of me and my cousins when we were 5 or 6. I was one rough rookie with the boys. haha no wonder i turned out as i m today but softer and now womanized. Along with me in this photo are Ican, Muny and Apis. Ican is the youngest among the four of us. sweet memories ;) We used to play at our Granny's house in the afternoon.

Looking where we're at today..
Apis: working in a private company (i forgot the name of it) - single/in a relationship
Mona: married - works for the so called world's local bank - enjoys life quietly
Mony: currently studying/enjoying life in London - has long hair which covers half his face
Ican: goes to 6th form centre in Berakas - tall - likes fun


random sunday

if u see closely, u can spot the Lion king of Kg Kupang. he is well known as c kuning. at the height he's at, other cats praise and worship The Lion King!

Gnol and I were laughing at this sign at a restaurant in Jerudong. the words are simple but can cause complication, but put it to your own understanding.
