This is way overdue. Went back to Seria to celebrate Mooncake festival earlier on a Saturday night. Had a very big feast at home! Home cooked food is still the best! Simple Home Cooked yummies Brocolli with Abalone Steam Fresh fish caught by my father Plum sauce duck Sweet Sour Pork Spring Rolls Grilled Chix Wings Fish Maw with mushroom and egg clear broth Bibineh was not left out. He had 2 whole chickien wings! All in all, it was a very satisfying meal...yums! Happy belated mooncake festival!

I'm sure you all have heard of Miu Miu? A sister company of Prada. Bi promised to buy a bag as a present for me. I wanted one of the Prada initially but Bi said that it looks so old....zzzzzzzzz and he say it doesn't suit me at all.  Then when I was surfing the miu miu website , I came across a bag which I fell in love with immediately!!!!! Take a look at this and tell me who is not in love?????? Thanks Bi for the lovely gift! Actually I was expecting it to be more pink and less dirty pink. If you know what I mean? The leather is just so soft and the smell.....gosh the smell.....the leather smell has me all addicted! Bi asked his colleague who went to UK and Europe to help to purchase. After 3 weeks of intense waiting , I finally got hold of it!!!!!

A big shout out to all couples on Valentine's Day!!!!! Valentine's Day has evolved to a day where lovers expressed their love for each other by presenting confectioneries, flowers and greeting cards. ( Source ) In short, today is the day where we express our love for our loved ones. Today is also the day where many men's wallets gets on a diet! LOL!!!! Valentine's Day has been too commercialized lately. But which girl doesn't want to receive flowers and chocolates on this special day. However, lets stress that its not only on this day that love should be expressed right? Bi, you can buy me flowers on any 365 days of the year. Everyday also can one de.... I was feeling drowsy due to the cough syrup and did not want to lunch with Bi. So he said it was ok. Later one, he watsapp me and said his bro could not have lunch with him as he was busy. He wanted to come over to my office and have lunch at my canteen asking me whether the canteen here is open or not....

Getting a bit narcissistic. But bear with me yeah... A comparison pic of me. Left is the recent photo and the right one was taken Dec last year (I think) when my hair was still brighter.  YAY!!! I can fit into the tee that I bought n years ago! This was taken right after badminton so makeup is non existence.  The day after I received my letter! Something yellow to celebrate the day! All black with my silk scarf from KL  All black for the much needed slimming effect!   A little of brown and leopard spots on my heels.  Too bad you cant see the ruffles in front of the shirt. There you go! My normal work attire. I used to wear cotton button shirts for work but I find that those shirts are boring to the max. So I like to mix and match my work outfits. To feel good, I need to dress well. Did you notice that I have a different pair of heels for every outfit? I just noticed just now. Those heels shown here are not eve...

I know this is a bit late but hey better late than never right? My mom has supported me in so many things ever since I was born. Although there are moments where we don't exactly see eye to eye but the bond and love between us will always be there.  Flowers for my beautiful mom  Little gifts of love  My beautiful mom with her lovely bouquet  Mange cake which she insisted on ordering herself 

I have been so busy lately with so many different things. A bit of good news to share with everyone. I passed my citizenship exam!!!!!! Got my sukacita letter last Thursday! While almost everyone got their letters within the first 3 days, I had only known my results on Thursday at nearly 5pm as I remember that I was gonna go change my running baju. It was the most tense 4 days of my life. Never ever have I felt this way while waiting for exam results.I think it was partly due to the fact that if it were my Uni exam results or CPA results, we all get to know the results at the same time. We either feel happy (pass) or sad/angry (fail) all at the same time. But as the letter was delivered via the postman to our house, we all got our letters at different time. So hence the tension. I finally belong somewhere, to a country where I have lived almost all my life. A country that is truly home to me.  On another note altogether, there were some people who congratulate me ...

Just read this article and found out that Brunei has been ranked #5 as the world's richest countries. For those that are born in Brunei or living in Brunei for that matter, we are truly blessed. So don't complain that much and count our blessings in that we do not have to worry when will the next meal be coming or do we have enough money to pay the rent. Cheers!!! Live everyday happily.

I am getting old now.......I can really feel all of the 20+ years. Shoulder aching, eyes are also sore, headaches......sigh, I wanna be 18 once again. Been busy lately, yeah yeah yeah same old story, when am I not busy? I guess coz its just that I try to do so many things that I totally do not have the time to do anymore. I am on a 3 week break from work for something that is very important to me. This is even more stressful than working I tell you. Its not easy. Especially for me. So I need all the luck and best wishes in the world. Pray for me. Back to the getting old part, I like to divert a lot. I feel so old!!!!! Even though I have not hit my 30s....sad isn't it. Life seems to be passing me by. Coz each day just passes by so freaking fast. It feels like in a blink of an eye. There are so many things to be grateful for and yet there are so many things that I wished that I had skipped. But admittedly, life is not that bad after all. I have made some new friends, gotten re-acquai...

Some people are mean and then there are some people who are just plain evil. I think these 2 people are downright evil. Just look at the video . How can anyone do such things to a small defenseless dog? And now they have a new 'victim'. These dogs have a big capacity to love. They have nothing but unconditional love for their owners. Why do these 2 heartless people treat their dogs that way? I cannot finish watching the video. Tears are already forming in my eyes within the first minute. They are dogs, they are meant to walk on four legs. If God had wanted them to stand on their hind legs, he would have given them 2 legs instead. But I guess that the owners are not only lacking their hearts but their brain as well since I don't think that they have any ability to think. I read this story here . Help to sign the petition!!!! Prevent animal cruelty!!!!

I went out on an outing with a few of not my friends. Why I call them not my friends? Coz they are not my friends lo. They are friends with someone I am friends with. It was such a nice Sunday. We were supposed to have lunch n watch a movie together. There are 4 girls and 4 guys including me and Bi. Basically, with the exception of another girl who made polite conversations with me, the other 2 totally ignored me. (I mean TOTALLY , caps, larger font and bold for emphasis) So yeah, was feeling quite left out at that stage. But they were really mean. They left to go shopping without asking me whether I wanna go or not. BF had the cheek to ask me how come I din follow them shopping since I love shopping. (Hey come on, I am not a puppy who has to follow them at their heels) TSK TSK....no courtesy. Soooo....anyway, the movie supposedly starts at 3:00pm and we are to collect the tickets half an hour before the movie starts. Surprisingly, those girls did not want to go collect the tickets alt...

It's really stressful you know. Having to choose the colors of everything and make sure that it matches. And its only 1 room that I am taking care of. Haha. Yeah, only 1 room. The tv shelf which we decided to cover up the small window. My camera is not very good. The 2 colors are more towards beige and light grey. But it looks more like brown here. The wardrobe drawers The incomplete dresser. (it was completed shortly after these pic was taken. Now there is a mirror and also the wire for the one. The balcony which we are going to enclose and Bi is gonna custom make a bay window seat just for me! Loves you Bi!!!!!!!!!!! Hehehe. The wall where we are going to put our bed head. But the eall's color us gonna change. Why? Coz of this !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! See the patches? I just had this wall painted you know and it's the brand that was specified by the contractor building the house, which was Jotun!!! Sigh!!!!!! According to the someone, this is because when they were building ...

I received very good news today! VERY GOOD NEWS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Muaks!

My breakfast for today!

Today is the nation's Energy Day, which aims to increase public's awareness of the importance of conserving energy. In conjunction with that, my company decided to 1. Switch off all unnecessary lights and instead open all the blinds (natural sunlight) 2. Switching off the water heater 3. Switching of one unit of the centralized air-conditioning chiller. People living in Brunei are really lucky as the electricity are partly subsidized by the government. The same goes for the prices of petrol. I remember that Bi told me before when he was working in Miri, the price for a full tank is around RM 80++ for a Vios, which is known to be a fuel consumption car.......Gosh ! Can you imagine that? So we are really lucky here. That is why we must try to conserve all the electricity and petrol that we can. Switch off anything that is not in use. A little here and there goes a long way. And try to use pool car if possible to use less petrol. It is easier on the environment as well as your poc...

The mind is a fickle thing. No one can explain how fickle it can be. I am in love!!!!!!!!! Its not something that can be described easily. Wanna know what/who I am in love with? Click here . Ok......found my next aim.

I realize that I only blog when I have strong emotions.....maybe when I am very happy, sad or angry.....mostly when I am angry la, which by the way is my way of releasing stress. Its a good way actually, coz not a lot of ppl reads my blog so I can have a lot of freedom on who I am talking about, but of course, no names need to be mentioned. I'm bored lately. After helping out with someone's exam, I feel very bored right now. Watched both Ironman 2 and Ip Man 2. Ironman 2 is good, I like it but just feels that there is not enough action and that the stupid villain is too easy for Ironman. Ip Man is still as good as ever. Its the underlying message that really touched my heart. Am waiting for new movies to be out.....hehe, like I said I'm bored. I need some challenges, so starting next year (fingers crossed), I'm going to continue xxx. Not gonna mention anything here first. Worried that I'll jinxed it. So yeah, it is still a plan. Mother's Day has passed. Did not ...

I'm using the small acer yesterday coz I forgot to bring my XPS back from work (I also forgot my glasses can u believe it?) Was going through all the photos that I have in this laptop and I found so may pictures that I took using my Viewty. Was always going around without my camera then. I was so lazy to charge the battery so I always leave my camera at home and since my Viewty has a 5mp camera, why not just use my Viewty rite? On another note altogether, I have been considering whether or not to join the majority in getting an iphone.....but thats just a thought (for now). Lets jump to all my random photos...... Do you know what is this? Its my leg la.....see all those small glass bottles? Its to suck out all those 'bad' blood. At that time my left knee is always hurting (perhaps becoz I was too overweight) and everytime after badminton I'll always always always have a nagging pain in my left knee and this nagging pain became so bad that I cant even stand up straight. ...
