You Know Its Gonna Happen

The news started to spread around 4pm Saturday. However, the offficial media confirmed the news on Sunday afternoon. Sunday newspapers say maybe. So, after so many mud-slinging, it was confirmed that HOLIDAY EXTENDED TILL SATURDAY 4TH JULY 2009. During this period, students are NOT ALLOWED to go overseas and have to treat this extra 1wk holiday as QUARANTINE. STAY HOME & STUDY, DONT LEPAK HERE & THERE. Supposedly, during this wk, teachers are supposed to give tests, but it had been de-railed by this extended holiday. So, the BIG question is will teachers give us surpriz test next wk? Haha Tak Tahu Apa Cikgu Punya Plan, Tapi Jaga2 Sajelah
Yesterday was Sunday so ada chance went to Consumer Fair as well as the b.mobile Loyalty Club launching @ The Mall. Ok, at Consumer Fair got Anti-Dadah Exhibition, Thai Fair & the exhibition inside the main hall. There were great bargains for food, electronics, mobile phone, broadband, etc. There was also a Brunei Cyber Games competition.
Ok, story about The Mall. The jam on the roads leading to Gadong was horrendous, all roads were blocked. So, we had to park @ Pasar and walk to Mall. There was a speed SMS competition when I arrived there, so tried my luck but, 'tak ada ong', later there was a talent competition with cash prizes of $1000 as 1st prize. The participants were making dance moves, very energetic indeed.
Some said there was this thing Freeze @ Mall. However, last year I remembered watching on TV about the event in a few countries where people 'freeze'. The participants were not told of their location, but instead were given codes. This codes will help them to find the location of where they should 'freeze'. For instance in KL, it was near Lot 10. There partipants gotta 'freeze' themself for 3 min. I wonder is this freeze the same as what they are talking about?
Since Primary 4, I have not wear any glasses, till yesterday. And sadly, the degree on 1 of my eye were high. Left eye 2.25 right 0.75. So, got myself a pair of glasses, maybe not so trendy onelah.
After so many U-turn & forward, finally Bridging Minds will be held tomorrow 30th June 2009 @ Dewan Raya RTB, 1o am. Bridging Minds is an annual debate programme collaboration project of RTB & MediaCorp Singapore. Its hope that this bridging minds will be able to build better bridges between Singapore & Brunei, since Bruneians had also already help to build better bridges via their $650 million annual spending @ Singapore, as well as the CIA Agreement signed.
Bridging Minds membina jambatan silaturahim & kerjasama antara 2 negara
Happy Extended Holiday 2 All

I Dont Know What 2 Say

By now, all of you would know what is the BREAKING NEWS already. At around 7 something, when I woke up, there were 3 SMS from CNN Breaking News. 1st said he was admitted to UCLA, 2nd said he had passed away according to sources, lastly LA coroner confirmed his death. Michael Jackson the King of Pop had passed away on 2.26 pm Thursday, 25th Jun 2009 (Brunei time 5.26 am) at the age of 50, due to cardiac arrest at UCLA Medical Centre.
Your Music Will Always Stay With Us, Even Though You Are Gone Already
All news media (CNN, BBC, Astro Awani, many others) stopped their normal broadcast (esp BBC & CNN), to bring live breaking news of his death. Meanwhile, as I looked into Facebook & Twitter, there were streams of condolences messages even from a politician and a photo-blogger. Some expressed that 'The music industry will never be the same again/the world will change forever'. Some debate whether he should be laid to rest in either a Muslim or Christian cemetery, as he had reportedly embraced Islam last November, as he find calmness in its teachings. I say he should be given a special place in the Holloywood Walk of Fame. From Times Square US to Tokyo Japan, he had touched a lot of hearts & souls, that many were sadden by his death. He was planning to make his last concert @ 02 Arena next month, but everything were stopped. 700,000 tickets had been sold, some news report had said that 'as MJ dies, accountants start counting his debts'. Its time to conclude this tribute paragraph, but before that I want to say MJ had came to Brunei to have his concert in 1993, in conjunction with His Majesty the Sultan's 50th brithday. Don't know how many have gone to the concert, but maybe your parents had!
Twitter had seen its 1st Brunei casualty as the Head of Disease Control Unit, MOH had quit over differences in information spreading methods between him & MOH. He had been using Twitter to provide the latest update on local H1N1 situation, even faster than official MOH press statement. In addition, he had also given some tips on how to prevent it in his tweets. Apparently, his Twitter updates were not authorised by MOH. Minister of Health said 'He had seen the advantages of using new media to inform the public, and will look into it'. The people really need real-time information, at times of crisis like this. In another update, Ignatius Stephen via his website Brudirect.com, had open up a survey on whether schools should be closed to prevent H1N1 from spreading locally. As of 3pm, 246 votes have been casted and 240 agreed to it. Now, its up to MOE to make a wise decision to extend the school holidays as most 'suara pelajar' wanted it or find another way to prevent it from spreading locally. Quoting The Star report, 2 schools in Sabah had been closed reportedly due to H1N1 cases. A lot of people are expected to return from Sabah in these few days hence, there are 'high possibility' of a 'substatial' increase in cases, as Singapore were shocked by an increase of 45% in cases overnight from 220 to 315. Globally, WHO had reported more than 56000 cases and US CDC had said 1 million Americans may have been infected by H1N1. Ok, enough of shocking statistics.
'H1N1 maybe dangerous, but we need not be alarmed but stay vigilant by practicing hygenics practices'
Ok, just now I downloaded loads of censorship related laws information, there are really lots to read. I wonder how lawyers coupe with these? Hmmm, anyway I got headache looking at those info. So, after another U-turn again, Bridging Minds will still be held on Monday despite H1N1 fears. Cant wait for it, so excited, had been watching it on TV for the past few yrs.
My feelings right now - As expressed by a Free's song I am 'kan mei lok ki' already for A Level holidays. I wanna be FREE!
Bye, happy extended holidays or happy bk 2 school depends on what happen next

Stories so far

Salam persahabatan & salam muhibbah kepada semua rakan2 yg mengikuti blog ini.
Semalam apabila, saya sedang melakukan 'pencarian harta karun'(buku GP) di dalam bilik komputer saya, terjumpa banyak naskah majalah lama saya. Nampaknya, makin menggunung simpanan majalah saya (orang gila majalah, baik jua bukan gila rokok) tetapi taklah setingggi Gunung Kinabalu kebanggaan Sabah, Negeri Di Bawah Bayu. Dari majalah2 tersebut, ingin saya memetik beberapa artikel yg menarik. Salah satu daripadanya ialah mengenai jika lelaki itu ada 'celeb crush' dengan selebriti problematic & muda macam Paris Hilton, Britney Spears atau Lindsay Lohan. Ini bererti dia sukakan gadis yg buat apa aje, tahu enjoy life & have fun. Lelaki begini happy bila melihat si aweknya is a risk-taker & dont care about what others think, the thing is 'if you like it, why care what other people think about it'.
Satu lagi artikel ialah mengenai dilema remaja tinggi & kurus macam saya ni. Its problematic you know, if your size is pelik. Masalah remaja tinggi ni macam saya ni, bila saya duduk nun didepan sekali didalam kelas, maka orang yg duduk dibelakang akan menghadapi kesukaran melihat apa yg guru tulis on the whiteboard. Kesiannya, orang belakang tapi kesian juga saya kerana kalau saya di-shift ke belakang sukarnya melihat apa yg ditulis oleh guru kerana saya menghadapi masalah dengan mata saya (ops, bukan mata juling okey). Kalau orang kurus memang susah cari baju (betul tak?), betul! Kalau pakai saiz S, nampak skinny, tapi kalay pakai M, taklah begitu nampak, tetapi baju tu macam baggy. Haih, dilema remaja kurus & tinggi, saya tutup, tak der modal nak cerita banyak.
Nampaknya, tsunami 2009 influenza AH1N1 telah melanda Brunei dengan MOH Brunei telah melaporkan kes pertama di Brunei. Nampaknya, cuti sekolah akan diextend lagi kerana menurut apa yg saya ketahui ada ramai orang ke Hong Kong, Thailand, US, Malaysia(KL, KK), Singapore. Yahoo!(Belum confirm lagi tau, tetapi memandangkan begitu ramai ke negara yg terbabit dalam H1N1, keberangkalian itu besar) Tetapi, apa langkah seterusnya MOE & MOH, pastinya akan memastikan bahawa pelajaran tak diganggu & wabak tak merebak.
Buah durian buah berduri
AH1N1 2009 tsunami
Kalau boleh panjangkan cuti
Cuti tak diguna dengan baik sendiri rugi
Bye! Salam percutian
P.S. Nak cari lagu Sodagreen(lead singer ada suara yg special) & Tank (MVnya touching my heart)

A lohas lifestyle

Yo wazzup people, you are being charmed by the aura of The Simplisiti, can you feel it. Ok, cut the crap, time is very precious! Hello, there
Some are flying to Singapore to enjoy GSS and to watch Merlion, some are in KK for diving (maybe not Kg Katok ), some are Kenali Negara Kitani @ Bandar, some are in KL(perhaps not Kuala Lumut or Kuala Lawas or even Kuala Lurah, Kg Lamunin, it goes on and on), some are in Bangkok having Thai massage, enjoying very bad traffic-jam & maybe watch Tiffany Show. Wherever, you maybe enjoy your holiday fully & have fun shopping, sightseeing, eating, snapping picts and whatever you are doing.
*jumping for no reason suddenly, like orang baru keluar dari Bukit Padang or Tg Rambutan*
Ever seen a shop or a restaurant that will reward you if you help them to wash dishes? Well, I dont think so, that you have unless you have no 'usin' after a meal, and the boss 'kindly' offer you a part-time job to repay it or otherwise other option is to enjoy nasi kuah kari in you-know-where. Well, yesterday I had just seen on TV a restaurant cum a shop, rewards people for being green. For instance, if you read at the shop's environment library for 1hr, you get a stamp. Another is if you help them to wash dishes, you also get a stamp. And lastly, if you bring in things that can be recycle (paper, plastics, aluminium, glass), you also get a stamp. These stamps can be exchanged for discounts of $5 or items from the shop, if you have enough stamps. This is really a good initative to encourage people to 'GO GREEN' and 'EAT ORGANIC' like what the E-Club is trying to do. ISB's Badas Forest Reserve project is also a good one. In a nutshell, lohas lifestyle is about eating healthy organic food (which is difficult to find in Brunei), practice recycling, prudent energy consumption, reduce wastage. (this is not the real definition, its my own definition)
My family had started to practice a green lifestyle too. For instance, when my mum goes shopping, she bring her own green & black cloth bag. When, we go 'tapau' food from Tamu or Sri Selera in Seria, we also started to bring our own container, instead of using those white polystrene containers. (psst, we also got more food, so bring your own container, but its tertakluk kepada budi bicara tauke gerai to give more). I had even started to be 'green' earlier, since Form 4, by using less paper with my tagline slogan: 'The Tree will die or The Tree is crying'. However, it had drawn too much complaints from my teachers, and even one teacher said, write on banana leaf instead or pei to leaves, like Antonia Pigafetta's time.
Ok, I sum it for this time.
Go Green, Go Lohas, Think Small, Big Changes. Chaw!

Father's day

Happy father's day to all fathers out there. Kata orang:syurga dibawah telapak kaki ibu, tetapi tanpa ayah, manalah mungkin kita akan dilahirkan untuk melihat dunia yg indah ini.
Since, the GP tutor had just migrated from the topics Health&Medicine, not long ago to Media&Advertising. Let me share a story that I have just read on weekendTODAY 20-21 June 2009 issue. Its about a dog(weird ai, Im talking about dog on a Sunday which is father's day, wait for a moment, while I finish my 'sandiwara'). Ever heard of a dog named Trakr, he is a life-saver dog that have led rescuers to the last survivor during the 911 incident on WTC. He just died in the month of April at the age of 16. However, his legacy will still be very much with us as from Trakr's DNA, his owner, James Symington who was also a former police handler, had got it cloned into 5 puppies. Last year, Symington won a competition dubbed as 'Golden Clone Giveaway' organised by California-based BioArts International. He beat 200 other entrants to win a cloning of his beloved dog with BioArts kindly throwing in extra 4 puppies. He proved that Trakr was the world's most 'cloneworthy' dog.In his winning essay Symington wrote that “once in a lifetime, a dog comes along that not only captures the hearts of all he touches but also plays a private role in history”. These 5 little puppies, could be life-savers in the future like their DNA dad. Right, enough of poochs stories later the felines would get me scratched for talking about their musuh ketat!
Another story that, I wish to share is from the HK drama that Im currently watching, Just Love 2. In a nutshell, the story plot from Just Love 1 goes like this: The father was a house-father, while the mother is a judge, the had a son named Ah B. The father was tied to marital contract, with lots of unreasonable terms, since he wants to be responsible for getting the mother whom he 'tak kenal' pregnant on a sking trip in Swiss. The father had sacrificed his career to take care of his son, and does most of the housework, as the 'lau po tai yan' didn't knew how to do housework.
Last story is from a Singapore movie, I Not Stupid Too(I am not stupid either, Im just kurang pandai). In 1 of the scene, it shows that the father tries to beg to each and every school in Singapore, to accept his son who was expelled from school due to an incident of hitting the teacher & also bringing XXX CDs to school. Another scene, shows that another father tries to beg the auntie whom necklace was 'ragut' by the son, to say that its him that curi the necklace & not the son. Lastly, when the police came, the policeman laughed, and the auntie told it was a misunderstanding, and she was taken to the police station for making a false report.
To all fathers out there who maybe a disciplinarian, the sole-breadwinner for the family, house-husband, etc. Happy Fathers Day
Selamat Berhujung Minggu & 4 those going on a trip to Turtle Conservation Centre & mangrove forest tour, enjoy your trip. Bye!
P.S. On Saturday, I dreamnt that I joined the E-Club trip to Pulau Selirong. Weird dream indeed!

Over a cup of teh tarik/coffee & free hugs

Salam muhibbah netizens & rakan2 sekalian. Its weekend of the 1st wk of 2nd term holiday. Since, there is 'tak de ape2 yg sempoi' in my life these few days, I would like 2 blog about free hugs & teh tarik/coffee.
1stly teh tarik/coffee. Brunei Times had a column over a glass of teh tarik, Star also got Cafe Latte Chat, TODAY got Coffee with __. Why newspapers name column after teh tarik/coffee/latte? Only they know! Few days ago, mypaper(I dont own it) reported about over a cup of Starbuck/Coffee Bean you maybe turned away if you study there. Whats the rationale behind it? Lack of space! In Malaysia, there is 'mamak' culture among para remaja there where they would gather at kedai mamak 4 roti canai & teh tarik, whereas in Brunei I call it Wywy Mamih culture!
Next story, free hugs with strangers from strangers. In India as well as Ximenting, Taiwan, this is a kegilaan! I have witness it too, baik jua aku inda kena pasal aku jalan jauh dari orang2 atu. If Brunei got, people would say 'wang gila kita memeluk anak gadis pak haji atu sebarangan, karang ku panggil polis'. Ok, thats it.

Adoption fever,fights here & there,crap stuff

Salam Muhibbah seantero dunia, greeting fellow Bloggies/netizens
Bahasa Melayu adalah bahasa rasmi negara seperti yg termaktub dalam Perlembagaan Persekutuan Tanah Melayu & Perlembagaan Brunei. Oleh yg demikian, kita perlu memperbanyakkan penggunaan BM, bagi memastikan ianya takkan pupus dimamah arus pembangunan yg begitu pesat & tak dilupakan oleh anak muda masa kini & generasi masa depan. Ok, saya akan bertukar angin sekarang kerana Bahasa Melayu & Bahasa Inggeris sama penting. Sebelum itu, apakah kita akan dikalahkan oleh orang dari Tanah Besar Cina yg sedang berusaha mempelajari Bahasa Melayu yg mereka rasakan indah itu, berbanding kita yg lama-kelamaan speaking England & semakin lupakan Malay? Lu pikirla sendiri(pinjam kata2 Nabil Artis Paling Popular 2008)
Im not against adoptions since the Malawian court has allowed Madonna to adopt another Malawian. So, who am I to condemn adoptions? My mum had open up again the adoption issue but Im pretending not to listen. Few yrs ago, she said adopt a North Korean kid bcoz they are so 'kesian' & 'kebuluran'. Just now, she said adopt a Dusun(not being racist here, sorry untuk yg terasa) from orphanage because they are nicer and fairer like Chinese. And, the adoption wayang continues endlessly, Im not listening, lalalala singing @ the trees with Claire, the singer!
Last Sunday there was a fight after a basketball match @ Chung Hwa KB, dont know if you knew about it. Those who started the fights were fired by their boss on Monday, and were still wanted by the police to help in further investigations.

Berani buat, berani tanggung!
Yesterday, I just knew that Bridging Minds was postponed 2 December, guess its due 2 H1N1 pandemic. Instead, there was a trip to the Consumer Fair @ ICC. Oh, speaking about the trip after A Level, Facebook & blogs is really a good marketing tool to promote a trip especially if you got lots of friends in Facebook. I went from zero to 20, thanks to Facebook. Wondering, do I still need to ask permission to paste up notice @ 6th form noticeboard or do I just sit back relax & let Facebook do the trick? I really really hope that this time around the trip will be a success after being delayed since 2007. If there are no 'fire training', 'board meetings', it should be able to be realised, otherwise Plan B, just go see movie @ The Mall and hang around perhaps. We will see how thing goes as time goes by!
Anyway, thanks to the 20 people who have registered for the trip.
Terima Kasih Banyak2, Thank You Very Much, Xie Xie Ni
The debate is really freaking me out, THBT We Should Be Our Own Censors. My team is opposition. Not that, I dont have the points I got it already but Im scared it will be trashed by good proposition speakers like Hanafi & Rachel.
Anyway, before we fight dont give up & if we give up before we fight, we are losers!
2day I learnt another lesson(I learnt a lot from TV),

'True friends are friends who do not just befriend you because you are rich, clever, popular, whatever that is similar, but will also stay with you in times of you are in sadness, difficulty, unpopular, anything similar in value.
Bila berkawan tengoklah hati budinya tanpa mengira bangsa, agama, kekayaan, status, kepopular, kepandaian.
Ok, that it for this issue catch more crap stuff as I endure my 'boring 2nd term holiday doing the same routine watch Breakfast Show, read newspapers, watch HK drama, play basketball, etc'. I See You When I See You Again. Enjoy the rest of ur holidays, while I continue to fool around the bushes(what am I saying, tak tau ler). Chaw!
P.S. Cant wait for Saturday basketball game with Eric&Zaim, incase it dont rain as well as they dont 'fly aeroplane' with me!

Sunday Day Out @ Miri

Ok, yesterday had an enjoyable time with my cousins @ Miri. Thanks guys for willing to hang-out with ur boring cousin! Hope 2 see you both soon coming 2 Brunei, then we can hang-out some more.

The trip was smooth, no health checks, not much traffic & just filling out health forms. But, while finding my cousins hostel my father got a bit lost, because we didnt use Google Map and instead use our common sense.

1stly, we went for breakfast @ 2020. As usual, it was packed and we had to wait for some time before there were free tables. Wondering how much does the tauke of 2020 made with that much crowd? Anyone wanna have partnership with me we open kopitiam? LOL!

Then, went for a bit of shopping @ Bintang Megamall or locals and some people call it Parkson. Shopped @ a few stores namely unfamous magazine shop, Popular(man it was huge, bigger than before), Parkson(it was classy like in Pavilion KL one), Toys R Us (damn expensive), Watsons. Actually, I wanna make glasses but the price were too over the roof, but I guess I better give business to Brunei kedai cermin-mata perhaps.

Also bought Kokoberry and treated my cousins, I had Pearl Milk Tea w/o pearl with jelly, my cousins had Honey Mango & Vanilla Choco Stick. It costs counting .... RM$9.60, quite cheap when compared to Brunei's Kokoberry and I also got 3 stamps, 10 stamps and I can get 1 free. There were other varieties like Strawberry Ice-cream rainbow, etc.

Oh yes, I also bought some magazines not so encouraged to be read ones & should be read ones. One of it got Lady Gaga cover as well as Britney interview in it. Another got Taylor Swift as covergirl. Both magazines cost around RM$13, quite worth itlah if you have the money especially when they have so...so many posters of ur fav artists.

While @ Bintang we also took some picts and also at my cousins hostel.

Oh yes, they also told me some of their uni experience. Here, we complaint(Did we?) that we gotta write 800 words essay for GP, there they have to write 1500 words essay for GP. I guess our sixth form GP tutors are helping us to familiarise with future essay writings in Uni. level, so stop complaining!



My cousins Kiat(left), me (centre), Siew Mei (right) posing outside Parkson. We help Parkson to advertise, so Parkson tauke kindly pay us commercial fees. LOL!



Outside Curtin Villa(cousins hostel)

Posing d luar Toys R Us after meliat baju arah kedai tingat 3 tapi cant buy pasal ATM malfunction
Ok, that it for this time. I See You When I See You, bye enjoy another 2 wks of holiday but dont forget ur H/w later teacher get heart attack kerana kemarahan!

Not so happy 2nd term holiday again

That people is going to Singapore, another going to KK, etc. However, I only get to 'Kenali Negara Kitani' in Brunei this 2nd term holiday. Actually can go to KK one, but got H1N1 checks at checkpoints so my father tangguh it to December, and not to mention the very very long jams at checkpoints, my worst experience is jalan from Seria 10am reach KK @ 10pm and bk is from KK 9am reach Seria @ 12am , the ques were really long long long.
For those who had seen my MSN status, will see that I keep on grumbling about iPod Touch 8GB going for $194 (usual $388) in Singapore. Last Wednesday, I was happy because 1 of my friend is goin 2 Singapore can help me buy, tapi that afternoon I check & it say SOLD OUT, I missed it! Nevermind next yr CNY I will buy it no matter what is the price! Yoh, macam orang kaya usualnya padahal pokai!
In a couple of hrs time, I will be off to Miri to visit my cousins who have just started to study in Curtin last April. Other plans for the Miri journey is to visit Popular (mcm biasa I am a bookworm or mayb not but a magazine&newspaper geek), Kokoberry, new Parkson, Toys R Us and maybe get a pair of glasses from EOG. Without glasses, I have been indentifying wrong people always as well as copying wrong crazy Maths equations.
Ok, this holiday is not so fun for me and others else because:
  1. Some gotta attend holiday classes(pity them)
  2. Tons of H/W(Maths I got 23 questions, thank God I almost complete all)
  3. Tests after school reopen (I got GP essay, Maths P3 & Accounting Budgeting & Biz Purchase tests in 1st wk of July)
  4. Debate (GP debate for set 2 starts on 2nd July)

Ok, today is the 13th Jun is also Father's Day. So, to fathers out there happy father's day. Hey, by the way guys do remember in April, there was a shocking article about a 10yr old being a father that Alvy, but now it was discovered he was not the father of his g/f baby but another 12yr old boy!

Ok, setakat ini sajalah penceritaan saya kali ini, kalau rajin nanti malam saya update lagi. Bye, Selamat Bercuti

GP class, bridging minds, kempen membersihkan pantai

Salam muhibbah kepada semua warga di dunia ini yg sudi membaca kata2 & coretan oleh seorang ni yg tak brpa pandai. Kita perlu mengaku bahawa tiada seseorang pun di dunia ni yg tak ada cacat-celanya termasuk pelajar cemerlang, saintis, dll. Lapor akhbar Borneo Bulletin, Pesuruhjaya Tinggi Malaysia ke Brunei Darussalam dalam ucapan beliau di majlis bertemu dengan warga Malaysia di Brunei berkata 'Kita perlu mengamalkan sikap Muhibbah yakni bersikap mesra & tolong-menolong antara satu sama lain'. Oleh yg demikian, saya akan berusaha untuk memupuk sikap 'Muhibbah' saya. Eh, nampaknya perenggan pertama coretan ini telah jauh menyimpang ke tempat lain.
Pada hari Isnin, Cikgu Joan telah memulakan tajuk baru dalam kelas Kertas Am/GP. Ia adalah Media & Pengiklanan. Kami telah diberikan satu tugas berkumpulan yg baru selesai semalam iaitu menulis satu artikel berita mengikut tajuk yg dipilih oleh kami sendiri dan memberi persembahan mengenai cerita itu. Kumpulan saya memilih tajuk 'Jam in High Street'/'Kesesakan Lalulintas di Jalan Tinggi kot'.
Intipati cerita ini adalah seperti berikut:
Ada pokok yg tumbang kerana angin kencang menyebabkan kesesakan lalulintas selama 6 jam. Malangnya, selain dari pokok tumbang, terdapat seseorang lelaki yg kebetulan keretanya lalu apabila pokok tumbang. Lelaki itu cuba untuk keluar dari keretanya itu, tetapi malangnya dia tersepit dicelah2 pokok. Dia meronta2 untuk melepaskan diri tetapi malangnya seluar Marks&Spencer yg dipakainya itu koyak lalu menampakkan seluar dalam boxer 'Sponge Bob' yg amat disukainya itu yg juga koyak menampakkan bahagian badan yg sepatutnya ditutup. Dia tak menyedari bahawa seluar & seluar dalamnya koyak sehingga ada seorang perempuan gila yg baru keluar dari Bukit Padang menjerit, lalu ramai orang yang menoleh kearah lelaki tersebut dan mereka semua menikmati persembahan percuma itu sambil ketawa berdekah2. Bomba & penyelamat tiba di tempat kejadian selepas mengharungi kesesakan lalulintas yg teruk selama 2 jam. Sekian terima kasih. Berita selanjutnya, selepas pesanan iklan!
Hari ini, Cikgu Joan telah memberikan tajuk perbahasan yg akan dibahaskan selepas cuti penggal kedua. Kumpulan saya malangnya sekali telah diberikan tajuk 'We should be our own censors'/'Kita perlu menapis apa yg kita, lihat, dengar, kata'. Kumpulan kami menjadi penyanggah, manakala barisan pencadang pula handal2 bekala seperti contoh Hanafi yg petah bercakap, Rachel yg pandai berbahas secara spontan. Apa jua kumpulan penyanggah yg langsung tak mempunyai sejarah pembahas. Tetapi kami tak boleh dipandang rendah!
Pada 26 Jun 2009, Bridging Minds yg merupakan satu rancangan tahunan bahas antara pelajar Singapura & Brunei terbitan RTB & MediaCorp Singapura akan berlangsung di Dewan Raya, RTB. Tahun ini Bandar Seri Begawan adalah tuan rumahnya manakala tahun depan ia akan dilangsungkan di Singapura. SMSA telah diperuntukkan 50 pelajar bagi menjadi penyokong/penonton. Saya adalah salah seorang daripada penyokong tersebut yg akan menghadirinya. Beberapa orang kenalan saya juga akan menghadirkan diri. Saya ingin menonton kerana untuk mengetahui cara perbahasan dijalankan & cara tutur-bicara dalam perbahasan yg akan membantu saya dalam perbahasan GP saya itu nanti. Format Bridging Minds amat menarik kerana ada sketsa pendek yg turut diselitkan.
Esoknya, SMSA E-Club akan mengadakan kempen membersihkan pantai yg dikuti oleh ramai pelajar2 yg 'mesra alam'. Malangnya, menurut sumber2 yg sahih lagi dipercayai, terdapat usaha2 oleh pihak yg tak bertanggungjawab bagi mengotorkan lagi kawasan pantai bagi menyusahkan kempen membersihkan pantai yg akan dijalankan esok, sekaligus mengganggu kelancaran aktiviti tersebut. Saranan saya kepada orang tersebut yg begitu 'tak mesra alam', apa yg dilakukan oleh kita pada masa ni, akan kembali jua kepada kita satu hari nanti. Tak tau lau sumber ini hanya gurauan yg langsung tak melucukan tetapi memalukan!
Sebelum menutup coretan ini, saya merasakan diri saya telah menceroboh ke dalam kehidupan orang lain. Ini hanyalah tanggapan saya sendiri, mungkin kata orang lain lain! Oklah, cuti ini akan saya habiskan dengan mengikuti perkembangan terkini industri muzik dengan mendengar lebih banyak lagu Melayu & Antarabangsa kerana saya dah banyak ketinggalan zaman!
Setakat ini sajalah coretan saya kali ini.
Selamat Bercuti Kepada Semua Pelajar & Bagi Yg Perlu Kembali Ke Sekolah Bagi Menghadiri Kelas, Enjoy Di Luar Waktu Kelas Tapi Belajar Betul2 Waktu Kelas.
Selamat Mengindahkan Alam Sekitar Bagi Yg Mengikuti Aktiviti Membersihkan Pantai Esok
Akhir Sekali Selamat Berojoget Lambak Pada Hari Sabtu. apakan?

Miss Maria Farewell Party & Energy Fair @ OGDC

Ok, woke up later than usual as in almost 9am bcoz slept @ 1am this morning watching episode 6 EU & Love Matters comedy movie. At around 10 am read SMSA High School Page published in today's BB. Kudos to those who are the editors & compilers!
At around 11am, reached OGDC & have a glance @ Energy Fair & pick up a copy of 'Energy Matters'. Maybe SMSA should also have our own Energy Club since PTE Katok & Maktab Sains have it? Well, what do y'all think SMSAians especially those in E-Club?
At around 12, the organiser Angie arrived with prizes for the games and for the teachers: Miss Maria & Mr Leo. Then, soon after that more and more invited guests who were Miss Maria ex-students from 2005 till presently came. After a while, then the main characters of the story came: Miss Maria & Mr Leo. For your information, Miss Maria is my Biology teacher who had trouble with my drawing & practical classes(in other words, I always make trouble in practical lessons) in Form 5. She gonna leave soon to a place far far away from Brunei. Ok, back to the party story.
There were 3 games that we played before we had our 'Ideal Feast'. The first game was something called Banana, Apple & Fruit Salad. In between the 1st & 2nd game,Mr Leo & Miss Maria also played the BAFS game. It was won by Mr Leo. The 2nd game was bring the host something she requested. The 3rd game was arrange yourself according to something e.g. height, hair length, name, birthday. Then, there was a cake-cutting session and the cake was almost smacked to someone's face. Then ,its 'makan time', the menu include chicken, mini burger, garlic rice, crinkle fries, soft drink, spaghetti. We also had a portion of the creamy cake & cheese-cake. Then it back for more fun & games. The 4th game was Popcorn. When its pop you have to stand still and if its corn you gotta sit. It was won by Faiz. The last game of the day was bring the host something she asked for again! Before, the party ended we had group photos taken! In between 1.30pm-2pm, there were some students who were good with shuffle dance showed their skills, too bad I didn't capture the picts bcoz digi-cam no memory already.
After the party ended, there was a consumer disputes regarding the bill. It was settled nicely without anyone getting hurt unlike in some places where they throw table & chairs. Then, me & Angie decided to try our luck in the games @ the Energy Fair. There was a memory game, knock em down, goal!, save Earth, scrabble scramble, hula-hop challenge, Energy Challenge (like snake & ladder), bike race(the slowest win), puzzle challenge. Angie was so lucky that she won 3 prizes while I only won 1 prize, the others were consolation prizes.
Well, I guess that's about it for the party & Energy Fair. Pictures will b uploaded more 2mrw, as my dad bring the digi-cam adapter to his office.
Later days, guys

Tales for the past few days

Hi people, how's life? Pretty bad yeah with so.... so..... many H/Ws, projects, pressuring, etc. Ok, let me talk a bit about my PTM last Saturday. Looked at my consolidated marksheet, ok loh like the same old story, look at my subjects ranking boleh tahan la with exception of Maths of course. Ok let's see wat tutors gotta say about my results
GP: Read some more (yes, I am reading as much as possible as in TODAY, Sun as my regular morning mind opener)
Maths: Stop squeezing your work in the paper, even if you want to save the ENVIRONMENT! (This Friday is WORLD ENVIRONMENT DAY & also my last AS paper, then its FREE, oh not quite)
Accounting: Can achieve 90 (90 km/h? doh!)
Biz Studies: Can be better, just need to write longer (Save the tree bah cikgu, otherwise tree will cry because their anak-cucu mati ditebang for human's greed)
Ok, enough of me making fun of my results, hope that Qualifying & A Level, I can maintain my standards or even go to higher level!
On Sunday, I went back to Labuan aka 'balik rumah' after 1 year don't balik, due to heavy workloads in Form 6. I feel that its a waste of time, because go on Sunday 1pm, then balik to Brunei Monday 11am! Despite, the short period of time there, I managed to go to the beach and I snapped a few picts there (Its bad quality, since IDK how to take picts, will be uploaded soon). For dinner, I ate a lot of stuffs (don't know if you all think that is a lot). Here goes the dinner menu of food that I ate:

  1. Chicken wings (nyaman eh, it was quite special, I think it was like Swiss-style chicken wings in HK.
  2. Sabah's local vegie (don't know what is known in English/Malay, local people call it money vegie, think people gonna be rich after eating these kot)
  3. A bowl of ordinary soup

Ok, enough of food bytes, that it for Labuan trip story, moving on to another story

Just now, had a weird dream about me posting something on this blog. Why, in the world would I have such a dream, is it another petanda bahawa sesuatu akan berlaku lagi? So, I will write up on watever that I have dreamt of just now. Its about influence of friends to your life. Here goes:

Kata orang, kalau berkawan dengan orang pandai, lama-kelamaan akan jadi pandai juga kita, Tetapi, kalau kita menyimpang jauh dan berkawan dengan orang yang buruk perangai & jahat, maka lama-kelamaan kita akan dipengaruhi oleh mereka ini dan kita juga akan menjadi 2X5 saja.

According to my experience yang pernah bercampur dengan golongan yang cerdik pandai & juga golongan yang satu lagi itu, saya tak dipengaruhi oleh yang satu lagi itu, mungkin adalah sedikit seperti cara percakapan saya as in I am introduced to those 'not so nice words'. Other than that, I am not badly influenced.

So, in conclusion its better 'to be safe than be sorry'.

Ok, last story(I speak too much!), it seems that my marketing strategy for the trip is not working, because I have yet to get any interested parties to join in or maybe its still to early. Well, I am gonna use Facebook to promote the trip. This is gonna be the last school/private trip before the PreU2 leaves SMSA till returning in end of Jan 2010 for A Level results.

Ok, setakat ini sajalah coretan merapu yang tak masuk akal langsung bagaikan makanan ringan yang tak mendatangkan kebaikan untuk kesihatan kita. Bye, Selamat Berjuang Ke Saat2 Akhir Untuk Para PraU2 yang akan menghabiskan peperiksaan AS tak lama lagi. Tak Berjuang Bererti Kita Sudah Pun Menyerah Kalah Kepada Warga Pemeriksa Kertas CIE Yang Akan Tersenyum Lebar Kerana Kerja Mereka Akan Menjadi Senang Dengan Hanya Memberikan Satu Angka Telur Ayam! Mun Paham Bisai, Kalau Inda Buat2 Faham!
