`again & again. (24/4 - 16/5)

TSK. I give up, I don't like doing everday journal posts. :P.

April 24th; Nabilah's birthday!

HAPPY 18TH BIRTHDAY NABILAH! :D
You're my unni again. x)
No worries, I'll catch up to your age in a few months' time.
Just wait there! Hahaha.
Love you loads Nab! :D


NN! -Courtesy of Emay!
Muahhahahaa!


First stop, the bakery store. Guess where? ;)

Ze pictures;

We actually tried to surprise Nab..

Here, trying to light up the cake~


Us, trying to go up the stairs as quietly as we could so she wouldn't hear us. :P

then TADA!


Tssk tssk, she actually thought we weren't coming to her house!
Surprised eh Nab? :D

MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!
PLAN; SUCCESSFUL!
^__________^

Let the party begin!





Although I'm a BIG Korean fanatic, it was my first time to taste the oh-so-famous Korean dish, Kimchi. FINALLY!


And no, I'm not gonna post the picture of my reaction after eating it!


Making fans for Emay's campaign! :D
My fans were okay~ But Deejah's fans were very creative! :O
(Pssst Deej! I hate you :PP.)


Work break. We were having a cup of tea. :D
At the same time, advertising the drink!



Note; This is incomplete. Just wanted to show you guys that I'm making an effort in updating my blog. ;). Be patient!


April 27th - May 2nd; warmth.

Around these days, it was very hot in the laboratories. There were maintenance problems with the air-conditioning and all. So mostly during lessons, you'll hear flaps of papers and all. In our case, the fans we've made. I wonder if Emay is psychic or something. That'd be nice! ;). If yes, I'm surrounded by psychics. *cough*Emz!*cough*.

April 30th; ice-cream cupcake

Haha, just wanted to show off one of my fave creations. Okay, I didn't bake the cupcake but I made it look like that. Although raspberry ice-cream isn't my favorite, it only makes the desert look even more delicious. Love


May 8th; Energy Club meeting

Well, Energy Club members were called upon by Ms. Raimie for a meeting about the upcoming Think Green Project on the 14th and 16th of May. It was a joint project between the English Department and the Energy Club. So we had to make models of renewable resources.

My group, Vivian, Basmirah, Fauzul & me decided to make a Solar Panel model and a Windmill which eventually turned into a 2-in-1 model. I'll post up a pic if I've gotten hold of one, probably impossible because Jalyn's cam broke down. Don't know what happened. Sighs.

Oh and on the same day, the school was used as the site for the exams for people who wanted to apply to the government sector. We (Fauzul, Viv & me) were very curious that day since a lot of people with various age groups kept coming and coming. So after much debate about who should ask the lady in charge, I summed up my courage and asked her. And she happily explained to me while the others listened as well. We all were like nodding and saying "oh~"
What ever will you guys do without me? :P. Kidding!



Thanks for taking this picture, Deej!
-LOL Lud, so emo. :P


With Bashie & Vivie! :D
Twas so windy that day!


How the mini swimming pool/jacuzzi/mini amphitheatre
looked like that day :D

May 9th; SM Sayyidina Hasan's 15th Anniversary

Hasan-ers were invited for the a special occasion at SMSH on this day. Well, we all decided to follow Deejah's car to go there. We changed our clothes in school and when we walked from the bathroom until the waiting area, students were staring at us. Very embarassing since my shirt sleeve was pretty short, I had to cover it with bags. It's actually a T-shirt and people were staring like I was wearing a bikini instead or something. :X

Well, I changed again in the end. Didn't want to be stared at in SMSH, so I changed into a black longsleeve shirt. Although it was hot, who cares. :P.

The main reason why I wanted to go to the carnival was because I wanted to ride a horse! I've never ridden a horse before. Yeah I know, sad. So I just took the opportunity. Of course, I wanted to see my beloved former school. The school that molded me into what I am today. The very school that tested my capabilities and made me stronger than I was before. :).
I miss SMSH now.


My pony ride ticket! It was a horse, not a pony :P. It was big!


Emay, riding a different horse. She was just in front of me. :]

The first time I rode a horse! WEEEEEE~

I was too short so I had difficulty getting on the horse. Still, I managed to get on!

When I was getting on, I was surprised to see Hakam there, watching. He was like chuckling. T_T. He should've tried, but then again, he's not scared of anything. ehhhh.

I didn't expect riding a horse would be nerve-racking. It wasn't ultimately scary though. I just realized I'm afraid of i) heights and ii) fast moving objects (in this case, the horse) COMBINED together. I kept saying "Whoaa~".
I should blame TV for showing me some horse accidents; you'll break your spine or something. (like Christopher Reeve). SIGH.
So my heart was pretty much in my mouth when I was riding the horse. Thank goodness the trainer was Filipino, I talked to him to ease my nervousness. Well, even though if he wasn't Filipino, I would still talk to him. I'm usually like that. Hehe.

I was asking all sorts of questions. I even ask what they feed the horses and how long he's been in Brunei and all. All the trainers that time were Filipinos. Such a relief! It was fun listening to them complaining about the people. I was the only one who could understand them. :P.

After horse riding, we went around the school. Bought some food & drinks. They were surprisingly cheap, of course! We saw our former teachers. Some of our teachers were like selling either food, drinks, books, clothes etc.

The cheapest that I bought that day was (were, actually) BOOKS! <3. anymore ="/" style="font-weight: bold;"> :D

May 10th
; project

We decided to just do the project at Vivian's house. Since her house was the nearest to mine.
I actually was telling Viv that I'll just be walking to her house and she was like "Just use a car, it's very dangerous to walk" and even my dad disagreed with me walking to her house. Oh c'mon! I can even reach Hotmart & Liang Toon by walking. My dad actually couldn't send me that time since he has this meeting every Sunday from 8AM until 8PM. So I told him I'll just walk. And he said if I did, he'll ground me. o_o. Thank goodness for Jalyn! She saved me. Eseh, she offered to fetch me from my house & go to Viv's.

Viv's house is very nice. It's very spacious. ^^. When we got to her room, we started brainstorming on what we would do. We didn't follow our original plan, thanks to Jalyn, her ideas were good! So we did the 2-in-1 instead. A house/cottage with both solar panels & a windmill. The only problem was the blades of the windmill didn't want to turn as they were really heavy. Using easi cards & sticks really don't work. Thank goodness Viv had a solution for it. :D

Pics after working on the house thing!
Too bad, I didn't take pictures of our project with my phone. =/


Me with Vivie & Jalyn. :D.

and Wendy, Viv's lil sis!

She's very cute and nice too. Only to me though. :PP.


Me, trying on the treadmill. I almost fell because I was trying to pose while the treadmill was running fast. HAHA. Which explains why I'm like that in the 2nd pic!
Thanks for taking these pictures of me, Wendy! :D

Here's a cute poster at Viv's house. She made it herself.
You'll see it before you go in the bathroom. xD

And yes, save water & electricity!

May 16th; Think Green Project (last day) & Michael's party

Early morning Saturday, Wafi, Viv & me decided to set up our Energy Club booth early. So we took all of our models down and fix some stuffs.

On Thursday, I was in charge of the pledge windmill board, where Rayyand started calling me PLEDGE! Since everytime someone was at our booth, I need to ask for pledges and all. There was one time Rayyand kept saying pledge and I wasn't listening, instead I was looking at them counting the money collected for Lud's cookies. Until Rayyand said, "RHONA, PLEDGE!!!"
HAHAHA. It was so funny. x).

Ah, sighs, I don't have much pictures to show. I have this though. The pic we asked Wafi to take. Hahaha. Thanks Wafi! :D ;


With Bashie & Deejah.
Posing with Wafi's Dynamic Tower.
Very creative, Wafi! ^___^.

oh, and ....

HAPPY 17TH BIRTHDAY MICHAEL!
This time Michael celebrated his birthday at his house. Last year, it was at Caper's. :D.
So it was pretty much my first time at his house. The first thing I said when I saw his house was "WOW".
I asked Emay to wait for me at the house's porch and when I was walking towards her, I was gaping the whole time and she was nodding her head. I'm so sakai wan. As usual. :P

Hmm, at first we were sitting on the couch and all while listening to the guys singing karaoke from the living room.



Since we didn't have much to do, me & Emay decided to explore the front yard. I actually wanted to get on the swing but Michael said it's too rusty. And it'll probably break down because of my weight. HAHA.
Instead, we just took pictures! YAAAAY!


There, the swing's behind me.
The child in me was bugging me to get on the swing.
Too bad. :b.


I love taking pictures with Emay :D.

Oh, and if you were wondering, Wei Kwang took the latter picture since Michael & him followed us outside. They thought we were gonna run away or something. HAHA, JK!

After picture-taking, we got back in the house since the nighttime was rising and the mosquitoes increasing. We didn't go back to the couch, instead we explored the backyard as well. A small little open cottage thing at the backyard was my fave place from the whole house. Have to remember that I should build something like that for my future house. ;). A place to chill and forget your troubles. I even saw lightning in the distance and something flying that fell suddenly (I wonder what it was?)


With Shahrul & Muiz.
Aishah stood up and walked somewhere. That's why you can see a pink sleeve on the picture.


Me, back inside the house, waiting for the queue for the food to ease up. ;).


I have no idea who I was looking up to. Hmmmm.

The 5SCI1's

Where Johnny & Matt at? :P

Friends;

With Jarrod & Simmy. :D
Yes, I'm THAT short. o_o.


Shahrul, Juni, PauPei & me.
Sucha good picture!


I'll put some extra pictures up when I get the other pictures from Mayven tomorrow. :]
Thanks for waiting for my updates, people!
Appreciate it! ;).


Ohh, and it's a holiday today! Happy Birthday to the Royal Brunei Armed Forces!
Enjoy this school-off people! Spend it wisely!
In my case, I'll be spending the day doing Math & Biology homework. AND have to study Chemistry. *BIG SIGHS*
Have a great day people!

Oh, and
HAPPY 17TH BIRTHDAY TO HUWAIDA & JARROD!

Have an awesome day guys! Have fun! :D

`I'm off to sleep now. It's 8AMish! O_O. Toodles!

yours truly,

`sigh of relief.

The smell of freshly cooked hot noodles,
the taste of sweetness on my lips,
the feel of the soft wind breezing by,
the sight of the words as they are typed down,
the sound of chopsticks' soft clonking...

I am back.

After a long, horrible semi-hiatus . . .

Semi-hiatus, because I do check my blog from time to time but as you know, I'm a huge procrastinator so TADA! No new updates up until now..

No worries, I haven't been outdated with KPOP. Thank goodness for AllKpop! <3. style="font-weight: bold;">Updates;
Let's start with the day I disappeared,

10thApril; Malling.

Okay, Emay invited to go to the Mall to watch Fast & Furious 4! So we brought along Deej, as well. Well, since my dad wasn't in Brunei yet, Deej had to pick me up and we went to pick up Emay. We were hungry so we went to take a bite (or bites!) at KFC! I've been craving their Cheesy Wedges for a while now. Oh god, they're like heaven!

Fattening, but who cares, right? :D

It was Emay's treat but my discount card. HAHA.

I was trying to do this pose where people pose with their mouths open, ready to eat the food they're holding. (huh?) - wahaha. I terribly failed!

I'm such a dork. ;)

After stuffing ourselves, we went to Utama Grand. I had to buy gum, and coincidently, we saw Neo. So unexpected. Well, after that, we actually saw him a lot of times. Especially at the arcade. Tsk tsk.

Then we went around the Mall, searching for keychains & of course, I had to check out my KPOP stuffs in this shop (I won't tell you the name, fangirls, you have to beg on bended knees :P). Too bad my favourite shopkeeper wasn't in, I was supposed to ask her something. I was gonna buy this keychain to bribe someone, but I decided not to. It was expensive. o_o. Yikes.

Ohh, after we found out we missed the 3.50PM and had to buy the 5.25PM tickets instead for Fast & Furious 4 (No thanks to the walking encyclopedia), we had to search for the Surau so Deej could pray. We went to the Surau of Rizqun Hotel instead. I was kind of worried if were even allowed to use the room there. But thank goodness, they allowed us since they didn't stop us or anything. While Deej was praying, Emay & I camwhored. :D

Most of the pics are on Facebook.

Emay had to get out of the room and laugh because of this picture. Guess why? ^^.

Finally, when Deej was finished!

The threesome! I love the mirror. Very classy.

Out of the surau room,

Emay wanted to take pictures in the corridor,
but I was scared (Note: the worried look on my face)
because there was a camera & there were people in the conference room decorating
and fixing stuffs.

When we had nothing else to do, we went to the arcade. and went to a Noraebang (I wish!).
Nah, it's a Karaoke box. without Korean songs. o_o.

Blurred, bleh. [Most of the other pics, you can't see the mic, that's why I chose this]

After singing our hearts out, we took pictures at the photobooth thing at the arcade. The pictures turned out like this;


I love the pictures
Both these pics back-to-back are the keychain in my wallet now.
:)


Then, we went to watch Fast & Furious 4 at the Cineplex!

Fast & Furious 4 Review

I would rate this a 9/10. It exceeded my expectations & considering I'm no big fan of action movies. I'm very choosy with the action movies I watch. I really wanted to watch this fourth installment since I did watch the first one years ago (Though, I can't remember much about it anymore) and because of other reasons. :]
The movie started of with the "team of thieves" attempting to steal the 3-4 tanks of oil. Seriously, their methods were cool! It was intense and I knew us, watchers were waiting in suspense whether or not they were going to succeed. Letty even commented something like, "The oil is like liquid gold".
There was this another cool scene when Dom & Letty inside the car sped up and the car was almost gotten hit by this rolling tank on the road as they awesomely missed it. Great timing!
Letty died though, she was murdered. Was chased around by a car and shot with a gun.
Okayokay, I'll stop the spoilers.

I love that I got to hear DBSK's song, Rising Sun during the rooftop scene! Mainly the reason why I wanted to watch this movie badly! And the movie kind of had a lot of Korean stuff going about. Making their first suspect Korean (David Park), there was a Korean truck driving by, then DBSK's song. Coincidence or what that I watched it? :D [Just the other day I watched this CSI episode about Koreans. So cool!]

Vin Diesel is still as cool as before! I remember watching his xXx & The Pacifier. ;).

The movie is worth it! I recommend it~


I went home around 7-ishPM. And my Ate Ren found out.... T__T.

11thApril; Interview.

Okay, after much consideration, I decided to apply for Prefect in the Student Council at PTEKatok. Thank goodness all of my teachers agreed to sign my CV. Cool teachers I have ♥

I applied for First Aid Prefect & Public Relations Prefect. My interviews went well. I went to the First Aid table first. I was asked by my senior back in SMSHasan. Though I didn't know her much back then. She was really nice and I was asked all these sorts of questions. You can easily answer them but you have to think first on how to form a smart answer to the questions (And I'm known for speaking without thinking first).

Even during the interview session, I also talked to my sunbaes at the IT-P table. The ones in charge of the school blog. They said I could be one of the people in charge for the school blog if I applied for IT-P, but I can't even handle my own blog, let alone, the school's blog. I might just die because of exhaustion trying to update both blogs. I can help with articles. A blog post editor? :D. I should've thought of that before and should have asked the Administrator-sshi. T___T

After First Aid, I went to the Public Relations table so I had to take back my CV. The interview was really fun. Another AE, Vernon, was the one who interviewed me. I know him through DeeDee, during Orientation Day so we haven't really properly met, I just know him. xD I was actually a bit nervous with my interview. I said "environment" instead of "administration" HAHAHA. It was about the school. I was saying "I want to help the school environment" when I meant the "the school adminitration". (If I'm not mistaken with the sentence). And Vernon was like saying, "Don't be nervous" :D.

Phew, so after that, I eased down a bit. They made me read scripts in English & Bahasa Melayu. I was actually asked to choose between the two but I said I wanted to read both. It was difficult mainly because I couldn't read the handwriting. It was so hard to read because I wasn't used to the handwriting. Well, in the Bahasa Melayu version, I had a lot of hesistations. Because some of the words I'm not allowed to say. Yeah, phrases that can only be said by an Islam. :]

There were also times when I got distracted by guys talking near me, the people watching videos, etc. o_o. It was so hard to concentrate bah. I have ADD! Not.

The interview ended well, WHEW! I just hope I'll get the post. I want to gain more experience, that's why. After the interviews, I found out my sunbae back in SMSH, Fauzul, is a KPOP fan. Actually, KPOP dances. Like Rain, SHINee, etc. He was watching Replay by SHINee during my interview. So I was distracted. I offered him the songs from Super Junior's Sorry Sorry Album and gave him my SHINee videos. He made me watch all those cool dances! And random clips by Koreans. Also Music Videos. Whoaa~ We were brainstorming about the dance him & his team should do during the Korean Culture Day. It was so hard to choose. Because I actually want them to dance to either AMIGO or Love Like Oxygen, both by SHINee. (Talk about bias-ness).

Do you guys have any suggestions?



[ Wait, I have a confession. I helped a team in Adventure Club to find a clue. A clue I knew the location of. SORRY! :X ]

We'll just wait and see, then. :]
Korean Culture Day, here we come!


12thApril; Easter Sunday.

I didn't actually celebrate it. Well, I had the chance to talk to mom & dad through Yahoo Messenger! I was chatting with Ate Ren at first before talking to my parents. She was updating me with all these stuffs that my head was spinning (yes, exaggeration). But it was cool, I had to spoil stuffs to her about Kkotboda Namja. She asked for it! They were all having a great time there! They always go jogging! Man, I forgot the feeling of being in Philippines and having fun with cousins. Like you don't have a worry at all. I especially enjoyed my time there back in 2007. I miss the days~ :'(

Well, I had to go to LBC to send some money. I'm getting better now handling these stuffs. Practice makes perfect. I'm such a noob sometimes. Heee. I went with Tito Jerry & Tita Rose with cute little Revin ;). Unique name, right? And no, I didn't mispell it.
They gave me donuts from my favourite bakery shop! Gosh, I love the donuts from Sweet Deli! Especially when they're still fresh & hot.

Our neigbour gave us some Chocolate Easter eggs.


and I made one of them pose with my Math homework.
How amusing.


Dang, I think this post is pretty long already. I should stop posting excessively. Any complaints yet?

No worries, there will be a part two for this update. I need to do my homework first. Hahahaha.

yours truly,
R.
