Congratulation graduates!

 

It's a nice break from all the rain. Up until two days ago, it has been raining non-stop in Brunei. It has been very cold, especially during the nights. This ought to get me ready for winter once I go back to UK. It's only a few days til I fly off, yet I still have not received my allowance for this one. So, if I won't be receiving anything by Monday, I am dead broke and you will all see me sleeping under a bridge. Hahaha.

I have just finished reading 'Eclipse', the third book of the Twilight sequel. This was better than the second book, but not enough to beat the first one. I still liked the first one, it sort of makes you feel like you're Bella Swan from the book. Second book onwards, I found myself wanting to skip through all Bella's thoughts and words. And skipping to the next conversation with anyone! Hahaha. They're good, nonetheless. I have the final book with me, but should probably leave it til after I rid myself of the guilt for slacking off my dissertation work. Nyeh. Oh, I should thank Hakeem for getting me the books when he was in UK. Told him to get me the next book after Twilight saja, and he ended up buying me the whole set. Keke. Thanks babe! <3

To my poojas in UK: I'm thinking Aunty Nong's place on the 14th-16th weekend. I'm certainly up for meeting you all there!

And before I go, leaving you with this pointless blog, I want to say CONGRATULATIONS to all my friends in UBD who will be graduating tomorrow morning. I'm honestly proud of you all. And have a blast tomorrow! It's one of those days that'll make it to the top ten best days of your life list. Make full use of it, and be sure to take tonnes of pictures. I'll be infront of the tv waiting for all your names to be called out. HEHE.

Toodles~

New HP

Let me just say that....

I am the first person to purchase the new edition of HP Pavilion DV4 series in Brunei (at least the saleman told me so hehe). They just got their stock yesterday, and I booked it earlier in the week. So weee..... first person in Brunei... and new laptop which is awesome. 4.0GB Ram, 250GB HD and 2.26GHz :D

Bah.. laters. Hahaha

On a Tuesday afternoon...

.... I am home, procrastinating myself from doing my dissertation. Haha.

Had lunch out with the parents earlier and decided to pick up sister Zara tarus. But in between that, I had an hour to kill. I basically went around Gadong and Kiulap to search for more computer shops to survey more laptops. I think I've finalised my decision on an HP. But we'll see by the end of today. Lets hope I can get one before I fly off (for the last time!!) next month :D

I'm trying to stick to my "strict" schedule on when I should finish my work. I even moved a study desk in my room, and properly set out the table supaya ada mood buat keraja. Oh santy, just get it over and done with will you!!!!

On a different note, I've started reading 'Twilight' by Stephenie Meyer. Just to see what the buzz was all about. My sister and cousins seem to be obsessed with the book, especially with the movie coming out. I'm only on page 33, so I doubt I've touched on anything interesting just yet. But the thought of weird, rich and pale-yet-good-looking bunch of people sure attracts me. Vampires of course.

 

[[That was suppose to be posted earlier in the mid afternoon, before Zara came in my room and said my EXTERNAL HARDDRIVE IS NOT WORKING!!!!!!!!!]]

So the rest of afternoon was spent of fixing the external harddrive....to no avail!!! Oh pictures... all those memories!! SUGISHGFDSGNFSGUSGNBSG!!!!!! I hope all the pictures can be extracted. I really hope so. Kalau inda, no more laughing our asses off at how chawieeeeeeeee we were dulu. Hahhahaha.I've only some pictures in this laptop. Oh man, this sucks! *breatthheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee*

 

Anyways.... I've been wanting to post this. Dk Aeesya Kumaira. Latest addition to the family :)

...Continuation

Wow. It's already the 11th Day of Raya. Yesterday wasn't much of a raya day, but I had fun going out with some friends. Had lunch with Dani, Feesh, Azhim, Hani and Belle. Then Azhim accompanied me to survey laptops. (Thanks zim!) Oh, did I mention my 4 yr old laptop is on the verge of breaking down? The LCD is crap now, lines running down the screen from top to bottom. And the charger port is totally messed up. If I move it a bit, the whole laptop shuts down. Haha. So right now, I'm torn between a HP Pavilion DV1035 and a Dell Vostro 1200. Although, I might also consider a Dell XPS M1330. Help???!? Hehe. If I was done with my dissertation, I wouldn't be so bothered about buying a new laptop A.S.A.P. Nyeh. Lets not dwell on that hehe.

Anyways, lets continue with Raya Photos...

 

Second Day of Raya:-

Sent Hakeem and the Family off at the airport. Then Hakeem's aunts bawa minum at the Airport restaurant. The rest of the day was spent in Lambak again. And ended the day by convoying to other relatives' houses, including Aunty Hajah's and Aunty Zainab's houses.

Third Day of Raya:-

Open house at Uncle Alias. Then joined Hadi and the others to Airul's house in Manggis. Then went back to Lambak, before I joined Azhim at Tuty's house in Lambak. And later that night, to Bilah's open house and rushed back home to join the family beraya to friends' houses. It was raining HEAVILY that night!! And freaking hot during the day. Didn't take lots of pictures today. Was rushing here and there.

Fourth day of Raya:-

This day was spent in Belait. Went to Farah's open house in Tunggulian, which is about 45minutes from my place. Whilst we were stuffing our face with food in TungTung, apparently there was an accident that caused a horrible traffic for people going from Seria to Bandar... and Bandar to Seria. We dropped by Nini Bungsu's place in Anduki, thinking the traffic would ease off by the time we finished. Tapi masih lagi! The traffic continued from the Anduki junction alllllllllll the way to Tutong. If I got the story right, there were 3 accidents (at different places along the way). And I had to hold my pee for 2 hours! Gilaaa. I slept it off in order to not think about it. Hahahaha. I hope those involved in the accidents are alright though.

EID MUBARAK

SELAMAT HARI RAYA AIDILFITRI TO ALL MUSLIMIN & MUSLIMAT!

 

I don't think I've properly greet everybody a hari raya. So there you go :)

First in four years. Wow, it sure is nostalgic even when things are a bit different from what I remember four years ago. It felt different..... awesome nonetheless. I really don't know how to describe the feeling and the raya atmosphere this time, but it sure feels good to be back. Missing a few poojas: Aimi, Suria, Jem, Azam and Aiman. And Farah just went back 2 days ago. Speaking of which, shout out to the birthday poojas:

HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY TO AIMAN AND FARAH!!! 5th and 8th October respectively.

Families and Friends are still having open houses, probably until next week. Lets recap the first week of raya shall we?

 

The eve of Raya, as usual, was spent in Lambak. It was fun fixing up Lambak. Cutting and arranging the cakes. Even the little ones were eager to help out.

The FIRST DAY OF RAYA: Went to Kubur early in the morning as per tradition. Then head back home to look awesome, before going to Lambak to meet everybody. Went to visit Uncle Abang with the rest of mummy's side at ilmullah Nini's place. Most of us have not gone there eversince she passed away, and my mom took it the hardest. I'm proud of her though, to be able to gather that strength to go there still. *hugs* Spent the rest of the day in Lambak at Babu's, and after Maghrib barutah we started convoy-ing to other relatives' houses. And I DROVE! So did Farah, who got sasat in Subok when we were all in Kota Batu! HAHAHA :P
