assalamualaikum it has not been an easy week but alhamdulillah everything went smoothly with a bit of hassles (sorry for those who are affected). again i stress the sheer amount of pleasurable pain being around hardworking people. i do admire them as they can manage lotsa things thru all of these times. myself as well included, oh yeah, i never actually realised on how i can cope with different situations no matter what the situation might be. having not much sleep throughout the week was particularly normal, not that everyday is normal. there is always something happening everyday. and i appreciate and welcome it with arms wide open. i must say though, it has been tough for me to wake up in the early mornings (coz the night seems so short) these past few weeks and i really do regret on missing some prayers as well as time for myself. but all is not lost coz i get to spend my busy time with people i hold dearly close to my heart. i think i really need another one day straight of sleep.

assalamualaikum its really getting me frustrated. i dont know whether this is gonna kill me or not but it certainly is doing a good job at it. i cant even walk for a mere 10 minutes now without gritting my teeth! yeah i'm really that stubborn. i dun wana bring it to the doctor coz i know it'll cost me a lot and frankly i dont have that much to spend on medical things. so i'm just gonna walk it off... literally. ok i dont wana think about it too much coz the more i do, its gonna hurt like hell. might as well enjoy the hati buyah and daging payau that mom n dad sent me! (^^,) oh yeah! back into becoming a carnivore again. i swear, if do come back to Brunei, my weight will skyrocket as well as my blood pressure! hahaha... i love it mom! thank you so much n so sorry to have u gone thru lots of things to send me the stuff. frankly i dont know if it will last coz i've been munching on the stuff since i opened it this morning. hehehehe... yes i love to eat. i also wana say wel

assalamualaikum although being far apart, it has never failed my heart of being happy together for 3 years. shortly after the anniversary, the time has come for the birthday!!! Happy Birthday Mama Bear! i know you might be annoyed that i've been saying that since last night, but you know me, i over excel on happiness (^^,) today is never the same as yesterday. its all about you. i wish for so many things for you to come true. probably you're working even on your birthday, but dont worry honey, i've been there and done that. but come whatever may, it never seem to disintegrate my happiness! i am that persistent on being happy as well as loving you. hehehehe... endless prayers for you! wassalam

assalamualaikum the gang and i went roadtrippin' to montreaux on sunday to attend a cultural show. apparently there is one Bruneian student, Hakim, studying there on a hospitality course. mind you, Switzerland definately has really good schools on this matter... scratch that, GREAT schools. i can safely say that Hakim is living my dream of studying abroad. though it costs a lot, i wouldnt mind it coz its a great opportunity for me as well as other students who wants to break the cycle. nda tunggu2 aku ah begambar ah... i must say we were a tad underdressed for the occasion but hey, i dont even give an eff. my foot is already smarting itself from the previous bowling tourney so i aint wearin no suits coz they just make me more uncomfortable. heck, i'd go naked (not that i intend to). the school was absolutely fabulous. i heard it was actually a castle n transformed into a school. i've studied tourism n hospitality before, but this was a whole new stage of hospitality. it gav

assalamualaikum i already expected nothing really new happening to us on this year's bowling tournament as we were up against very good players. but one fact remained, we enjoyed it with our own sense of humor and good sporting spirits. thats whats best in our team. no matter who we go with, our hearts are always happy to cheer on our ASEAN colleagues. strike a pose!!! our team color for bowling this year is red. hell, i didnt know about it until the day before the tourney was held. and for one fact, red is not really my interest. since i already wore my one and only red t-shirt, i had to scoot over to Balexert (shopping centre in Geneva) just to grab another one. they only had that bright neon red... well, there were other options but being a fan of Adidas (oh yeah...) i had to get it. plus it was cheap. i'm a cheapskate remember? i saw myself in the mirror, n i'd give my self one and a half thumbs up. not bad... mum, dad? what do u think? i'll tell you this, you raise

assalamualaikum hmph. my arms have been acting up lately, not that i had much activities on it (i know what ur thinking... no its not that). got a lot of things on my hands now that its effing my targeting focus. i guess i'm still thinking too much on pool. havent gone there for a while but maybe i'll go within these few days just to polish my pool skills. after all, i have a year to train for next years' tournament. wohooo! speaking of bowling, did u know i've never bowled more than once in Brunei? yep. the last time i remember about it was the ball slipping away to the back and miraculously i've managed to catch it before hitting my cousins. phew. from that day on, i didnt want to play anymore. but since theres nothing much to do here, i guess i can extend my sports list (which is so short) to include bowling. i still prefer pool though. oh yeah, to try snooker as well. i was glued on to this snooker tournament that was showing on eurosports last night after the b
