Hallo- Halloweeen

Firstly, I'd like to wish my dearest lil sister Elyza:

HAPPY 9th BIRTHDAY
Hopefully Lisa and the gang gave you a goooood birthday:) Kaka loves and misses you.

I'm now in the practice room but heck, where there's internet, use it right? ESPECIALLY when you don't have it at home. grrrrrrrrr.. insyAllah i'll have it next week:) *fingers crossed

But yes, things and stuff. Went to Nottingham last weekend to celebrate my best friend, Aaron's birthday:) I dressed up for him ofcourse. I went all green. Yup, ALL GREEN! I was the witch from Wicked:) sadly, i didn't have a witchy hat. Maybe twas for the best though, pretty sure it would've fallen off whilst dancing, well, my attempt at it:P

I'll post more pictures when the internet decides to be friends with me again:( but now, me thinks i should head back home. I've been out since 10! lol. Go home, eat dinner, sort out my laundry and do more work. zZzZz...

Will have a more interesting post soon, insyAllah:) too much to do, so little time.

Me and Lily's lovely afternoon at the beach

After a real hard out day revsing yesterday, I decided to take a lil break just to relax my mind abit before I start doing revision today.

NZ Update

Hey guys!

It's no surprise to me that this week has been the most hectic week in school for me - ranging from last few internals, summary of achievement standards, speech competition preparations, canteen appeals for cancer, and whole stacks of revision.

I still can't believe that I will be graduating from High School on Thursday the 12th of November! It's in less than a WEEKs time. Now that's something!

I will be having my final exams on the 17th of November til the 24th. I've been busy revising my topics. Can you imagine sitting 20 papers in one week?!! That's plenty!

I don't really have much to update on cause well, errrr...I've not got that much to update on really. Haha. Just that I'm doing well and everything.

I love and miss everyone! So excited to be seeing Daddy, Lisa, Shafiq, Tok and Nana in less than 2 months time. WOOHOOO!!! Then the WHOLE family a week later. Hooray~~~ Mum said I could have a graduation party since no one will be there to see me graduate:( I'll get someone to talk lots of photos though.

Hope to hear from everyone else as well. Lots of love from moi!

what's going on?~

To be frank, nothing much. seriously. lol. Uni's started and i still don't have internet. Halima managed to persuade me to go to the library with her. My laptop needed some software updating anyways:P

We had a raya open house:) twas a rather cool gathering:) good to see the Bruneians.. In the true spirit of raya as well:) My open house will be... next week? LOL. It'll be more like a house warming since raya season will be out:P

i don't really have much to say atm, just felt like putting up a post to tell every one that i'm fine:) haha. not that any one would be interested but heck, it's worth a shot:P

I'm surprised i'm actually doing work! might as well continue:P need to use as much internet as possible:P

Oh oh, we're going to be setting up our BruSton i.e. Brunei Southampton Society pretty soon, insyAllah:) we'd be meeting up tomorrow and we'll see how it goes from there:) hopefully it'll be fine:) just hope that they'd be more organised and willing to do things.. it's not as easy as it looks.

I love and miss you guys:)

It's been ages since any one's really blogged here.I still don't have internet at my house so i come to the library to check mails. Sad innit? :P But i can't say that ever since i've touched down in UK town it's been an adventure! Things have just happened which are memorable:) As we step out of Heathrow... drama happens! My friend came to pick us up and he originally had two cars but unfortunately, one got into an accident on the way to the airport. Andy, my friend, manged to squeeze 3 big luggages, a big box, my violin, our hand luggage into his tiny little car! haha. It took us about 20 mins or so to get every thing in, including ourselves:P Needless to say, it was cozy at the back:P

Mum and i cleaned up the house too before doing anything. Spent a good few hours getting our hands dirty! We rearranged my room, vacuumed the house, mopped the kitchen, the toilet, the whole kahunah! :P It was worth it though. Now our little house looks spotless:) I've not taken any photos of the house but i do have photos of my room:)

Before

After [i took these this morning:P]

Mum and i went shopping and raided IKEA:) haha. Went to London and met up with THIS pretty laydey~
Had soo much fun:) Went jalan-jalan. Ate. Talked. Shopped. Twas good really. I'll just put up some photos:)

La dee dah~ anyways, i think i'll end it here. Uni has started, need to get some books and go nerd-mode:) LOL. I shall post something soon hopefully. Need to sort out the house internet and get a life:P

A toute l'heure~

If today was your last day

Feeling rather sentimental atm. My last day in Brunei til next year. My last time in my beloved Jerudong home which has kept my family under its roof for about 3-4 years? when i come back next year, it's a totally new place, totally different area. I'm in for a big change when i'm back.

Imagine if you only had one day to live. What would you do? You come to a realisation that you've regret not doing a few things that you've been meaning to do. Whether it be eating your favourite dish, visiting a friend or relative you've not met in ages, going to places you've wanted to, sky diving even! You suddenly come up with a whole list of things you want to do. But... what is it that you'd do? in a situation like this, i'd go straight to the people i love the most. my parents. my siblings. my close friends. i'd tell them how much they mean to me and how they've become such an important part of my life. this all sounds really corny but heck, i'm entitled to a cheesy post every once in a while:) You live life once. Might as well make the most of it while it lasts right? but live it up, the sensible way:) be good to yourself and others. rewards will happen when they come:)

Shaz, thanks for the little pep talk beforehand. You should know that i am very proud of you. every one here is. I tell people that you've done so much in NZ, so much more than i have here in Brunei. You've unlimited resources there and you can practically do anything you want. I wish it were the same here but hopefully, i'll have a chance back in the UK to help out but i must applaud you, my beloved sister. You've stood tall for many a times and kept your stature. Don't let any one, any one at all put you down. Be who you are:) i love you:)

On a more happy note...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DADDY SHAZ:)

A toute l'heure~
