While the days are filled with so much exciting activites, nights are spent doing nothing. But thank god for the creation of pets especially, I've come to enjoy (not really) the time between the end of the day and the time to sleep (so sad T_T).

So out of boredom I filmed my cat exploring the depths of my room and got this clip of my cat... well just watch and see. Spoiler: it might waste a minute of your life. I sure did. So don't come asking for that wasted minute back. 

I like my cat!

Wow it's been a hectic period since I last posted. Seems like Rumor wasn't lying when he said the results would come out on the 29th of last month. Some were delighted to get the results and some weren't. Me? Well I'm not really that delighted but also not that down about it. I'd say I'm just contented with my results. I met the required grades to get me into a University in the UK so now the only obstacle in the pursuit of my dream is the scholarship situation.

Funny thing happened Friday last week. Fadhil and I had our weekly driving session (I know BK but c'mon guys... you know you're not interested). I brought my dad along that night and Fadhil didn't expect it. So when he arrived there, he was all awkward and I could see he was nervous. Nervous to the point that he teed up almost 10 minutes after he arrived. So all night long Fadhil (and on certain occassions me) had an instructor telling us what was wrong with our game. But that wasn't the gruelling part of the night for him.

My dad left early that night so Fadhil and me were left alone there for a moment. When my dad left, Fadhil got back his usual game and were hitting better balls. But it only lasted for about hmmm I don't know, 5 minutes? This was because a stranger (both to me and Fadhil) teed up next to Fadhil and when he saw my friend there swing his club as noobly as possible (sorry Dil) the guy went all 'pro' and threw lots of pointers and tips to Fadhil. To save myself from any humiliation and embarassment, I tried to 'up' my game and surprisingly it worked. I kept on thinking that if I was to hit just one ball badly, the guy at the back would direct his attention to me. Due to that, I was playing one of my best games ever that time while it was the opposite for my friend. All the nerves and jitters got to him and he crumbled under the pressure. To make it up to him I told him to bring his dad the next time we go driving.

Since I talked about Friday already, it wouldn't be fair to the other days so I'll just briefly go by them. Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday were the University Hunting Days in Rizqun, Empire and Rizqun (again) respectively. Although I had no luck in getting an unconditional from any of my Universities, I still had fun. I don't know maybe it's the company I enjoy or maybe because I just hate doing nothing. Thursday I had a haircut which was a failure because people failed to notice it. Then later on Zimin, Kahar and me attended the career expo briefing. Prior to that we had lunch and went around Bandar. Then we met up with the 'Belia's at Easy Way and went home. Saturday we all went to the Scholarship Convention at ICC which then in the afternoon the guys and I went swimming. It was fun but at the same time very tiring. Lastly there's Sunday. Oh Sunday Sunday, how I love thee. Didn't do much on Sunday. But had a good rest.

Ok enough about the past. Lets talk about the present. Or should I say the latest past. Yeah whatever. Today we had the CareerExpo at school and to tell you the truth it was tiring. We didn't really do our jobs though. Technically we were just sitting around chatting. I think the only time we were really working was when we were stapling the papers together. I got a chance to talk to the Brunei Times people as they had a booth opened up in the expo. So lucky me. I've got my name forwarded to the HR person who called me last month so that I can get feedback on the status of my application. So I'm actually quite delighted because I've got something to expect now.

Oh yeah I nearly forgot, on the 31st of January 2009, the Graduation Magazine was finally out. It was a proud day for me and the magazine committee. We worked really hard on it, had sleepless nights and had our ups and downs in the process. But we got through it and it turned out to be really good. The feedback we've been getting has been mostly positive. However, there are regretfully some mistakes we made. All I can say is sorry and we just have to move on I guess.

Gonna go play Futsal tomorrow *ecstatic*

note: driving - hitting golf balls at the driving range

Salutations loyal readers!

I haven't been feeling well lately, which doesn't explain why I haven't been posting anything, so sorry. Anyway back to my well being. It appears that I've contracted the Not-so-rare Common Cold Virus (NCCV). This should not be affiliated or confused with the Rare Common Cold Virus (RCCV) which has plagued my sidekick Adeq aka Robin for almost a month if I'm not mistaken. However both ailments have similar effects such as soreness of the throat and blockage of the nasal passage. Despite so, the NCCV does not cause the loss of voice (like the RCCV) but only alters it a bit making it quite hoarse. Also when I'm affected by this disease, it doesn't really translate externally except for the occasional cough and oh-so-wonderful sneeze. I don't know why but I think probably I normally look f*cked up (mind my french) or maybe because I just don't look sick (coz I' the Juggernaut, bitch!). So from the start of the week until today (hopefully it goes away tomorrow), I've been attending school sick and today was the worst for me.

Oh yeah today I've set an objective which is to 'HULK SMASH' Carrr (Pg. Abdul Kahar) when he least expects it. I already notified him about this and he verbally agreed to not get angry. My first attempt was before telling him so which was when he just arrived to school but I wasn't able to catch up to him as he ran like a little girl! So to Kahar: watch it! HAHAHA

Also kudos to Zimin aka CJeng for passing his driving test. Although I admit I'm a bit envious and jealous of this (since I was expecting to accomplish the same feat about the same time as him), I'm still happy for him. Also I don't see any reason why I should be jealous since even though I haven't passed my driving test, I've gained another driver friend who would be whole-heartedly willing to drive me around. Here are my good driving buddies: Ayub, Fadhil, Wilson, Kahar, Zainul, Imi, Amal, Michelle, Waqi, Ivan and finally Zimin. Thats a lot right. So why should I worry? Also I thought about it: even though I have to wait for a few more weeks to get my license, I still have my whole life to drive. Sure I'd still have to depend on my parents but right now I don't actually mind (that much).

We had Internal Assessment yesterday and today. Honestly I think it wasn't really nerve wracking or hard. I admit that there were a few bumps along the way but overall for me it was OK. The assessors I had weren't really intimidating except for sometimes in which they bombarded me with some outrageous questions and I answered in kind. I tried to keep a cool and calm head throughout. I hope I get a good and fully descriptive review so that I know what my weaknesses are.

Some of the UK people have come back and I've already met a few. Surprisingly no one has changed a lot in their behavior (except for Dini... pervy soulja faggot!) however physically they seem to have changed. I guess they get morphers there.

We've been tallying the nominations and superlatives. So far it has gone quite good and I think we're halfway finished. There are some surprise winners. I should stop talking now due to it's confidential and sensitive nature.

Lastly on Sunday night I attended the Tri-Xtreme Celebration and it was fun. I was actually feeling under the weather that day but I tried to conceal it and eventually had fun with my friends. I got those who joined the competition each got a certificate and an umbrella which is kinda neat because now my future car is complete since I have an umbrella to put inside it. Too bad my team 'Team 28: ANBA" didn't win the $8000 but at least we had a tremendously awesome time.

Oh yeah tomorrow is CCA and we're going to play squash. I bet you guys I'm totally gonna own because I'm very good at squashing things and with my friends being puny little people, I assure you they're not gonna beat me. Also I'm gonna bring my tennis racket which might give me an advantage.

PS: good luck to those taing the MinDef scholarship. Hope you guys get it!
PPS: sorry no pics this time. I'll post some in the future.

Wow its been a week since my last update. Ive been busy what with the.... haha got nothing.

Anyway, I'm just too lazy to type now so lets just watch this video (that i made):



Yup I like to play with toys. As Napoleon once said, "Men are led by toys". And yeah I spent my whole monday night in making this vid. *Hope Smosh recognises my talent.*

Seriously guys you shouldn't have (you probly should have but Im trying to be what do you call it? hmmm... nevermind). The list of people who I need to thank isnt finished yet (according to zimin) so expect some future edits on this post (or you just dont care?). Well...

BUMBLEBEE ROCKS!

Gila this day rocked...

Not only because of the fact I practically had no class (only had gp and physics we had a test and after break we had this mental health talk), but also because I drove today. My first driving lesson.

Ok before I start rambling about how fun driving was, I'd like to mention some things about the mental health talk we had in the morning. It wasn't as boring as i expected it to be. In fact, it was one of the best talks i've ever attended. Probably this was because the presenter was kinda cool and his accent and way of speaking I enjoyed. Also the flow of the presentation was rather good.

He talked about the symptoms and causes of mental illnesses. Some of the symptoms mentioned was talking to oneself, being aggressive, doing insane things etc. I laughed when heard this because to tell you the truth, most of the people I know do these kinds of things. But i doubt them being mentally ill as WE (and i emphasize on the WE) do this to relieve stress, to have fun and to entertain others. Also before mentioning these symptoms, the speaker said that there is no basis to the definition of mental illness. So it proves my point.

We had our first Magazine Committee meeting for graduation today. It was kind of productive and we outlined the basic structure of the magazine. Hope its better than the years past. Then me and the guys went to the audi where I had fun writing fortunes... kan Carrr? I also became of the people behind the desk who answered questions (haha setaie...!!). I even talked nonsense as there was once when this kid asked me: "What is OCD?". I answered, "Its a mental disorder which you are obsessively compulsive about". hahahahahaha....

Then came the best part of the day, or should i say my life? I'd say day-life (gila sounds like DLF if you say it quickly ). I went to the stadium with my dad at around 4 and there we met my driving instructor. Then with the formalities were done with, my dad left me with my driving instructor. We both went into the car and it felt like freedom.

My first hour was a very exhilarating one. My journey started from the stadium, then to the highway from bandar to sg akar, then straight on to mentiri, then went to sg hanching area, then back to the mentiri highway, then from mentiri i went straight home. hahaaha. My driving instructor was very kind and patient. My engine stalled 4 times (once at the roundabout, another at a u-turn, and twice arah the hill arah ampir rumahku haha). But i learned a lot. Also I enjoyed it too much that i went over the speed limit. I was going 80 haha... I know thats not really fast but my instructor tarus: "awangku, inda laju kah ni?" hahaha. Gila te-sorry2 ku haha. Ketawa ia plg.

The instructor was kind enough to send me home. Actually i drove but still... haha. Then arah the hill going up to my house, the instructor taught me how to balance the car on a hill. Gila mati engine dua kali. I still cant balance the clutch and the gas pedal easily. But as my dad always says: Its no big deal to make mistakes. Thats what you call learning... (note the fact that i edited this post 3 times haha)

Well one more week until my next session, which I agreed upon. Zimin is starting this Thursday.

I'd like to say one last thing: WATCH OUT DIL!!! THERES A NEW SPEED DEMON IN TOWN!!! HAHAHAHAHAHA
Also special mention to Amal, Fadhil and Michelle...

Amal for giving me my birthday presents:

I know she's a re-gifter but i dont care, thanks MAL (haha sorry Carrr...)

To Fadhil i thank you for teaching me how to drive a manual car and Michelle thank you for teaching me how to REALLY drive a manual car... HAHAHA
