i’m kinda into this song right now.. dunno why..

usher - seperated

If love was a bird then we wouldn’t have wings
If love was the sky we’d be blue
If love was a choir, U and I could never sing
’cause love isn’t for me and U
If love was an Oscar, U and I could never win
’cause we could never act out our parts
If love is the bible, then we are lost in sin
Because it’s not in our hearts(chorus)
So why don’t you go your way,
and I’ll go mine
Live ur life
And I’ll live mine
Baby, U’ll do well
And I’ll be fine
’cause we’re better of seperated…

p/s: nothing to with us, B… hehehe.. laaaaaaffff youuuuuuu.. you collect, i plan.. (wink)

the date for our convocation has been finalised, 6th september. actually, i’ve known about it for the past few days (weeks?) now but due to work commitments and other distractions (B :D), i completely forgot to tell my parents. so i picked up my phone and started to text me dad a message. as i about to press send, and overwhelming sadness came over me. i had to text messaged my dad. i couldn’t just open my door and shout from my room. i couldn’t ’cause my dad doesn’t live here anymore.

its been three years since my parents divorced. i can’t say it got easier but time does help to make me less sad. with the exception of the occasional emotional moments. we all know that life has its ups and downs. one moment everything is rosy with the sun shining and birds chirping and the next, it just comes around and bites you in the ass. hard. however, you can not let it dictate your life. no matter how traumatic you are. someone once said “experincing a horrific moment does not define who you are but how you handle it.” or something like that. its obvious, i’ve been watching too much feel good movies. but yea.. i’m coping.

that is what i am.. the June O level results came out today. my lil brother decided to take five subjects. saja2 wah. i got FOUR O’S  for English, Malay, Math and Biology. BIO!! i got a D for Bio.. :s anyways, he took this exam saja2. his real O levels exam is this november. during my time (7 years ago. ….macam batah banar buniynya :lol:), i couldn’t take my O levels in June. i wasn’t mentally prepared for it. so kudos for brat # 2 for taking it early AND ace-ing it…

Congrats, dude. u made you’re big sister proud.. 

*smiles proudly* 

 me & dd. (he’s 15. i know he looks 18.. :lol

so. today was my first time giving tuition. a teacher where i worked asked me to tutor her son. me,desprate for money said yes. i kinda finished my contract from where i worked so this is my income for now. jaditah; at least theres money coming in

her son was a lot older than my students but i can do it. my degree says i can. hehehe. so, there i was, tutoring away when a FREAKING CICAK (house lizard) FELL ON MY HAND!!

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEWWWWW!!!!

you can forget me being professional, i screamed my head off! i screamed then i flicked my hand. hard. i didn’t care where i threw it, just as long as it was off of me! and yes, there were some X rated words that came out of my mouth.

of all things that could’ve fell on my hands, that was the worst. i have a huge phobia when it comes to lizards. reptiles lah. eeeeee. kambang bulu ku masih.. :s it all started when i was …….6? 7? i was hanging out at my grandma’s place. i was just sitting there, minding my own business when a huge freak of a lizard fell next to me and decided to get fresh with me by climbing up my leg. it didn’t help that i was wearing a skirt.

*shudder*

btw, all the while my student tried his best to hide his amusement. which i appreciate.

hopefully, this will never happen again. ever.

*amin*

About a year ago, during the fasting month of Ramadhan, me and my group of friends decided to take a walk between classes. we had about 5 hours of lectures back to back and we were fasting so maybe a lil bit of fresh air might wake us (ok, me. wake ME) up. on our way back, we saw a couple of ‘orang putihs‘ (caucasians). we were whispering within each other, wondering who they were as they were new faces and we pretty much recognise everyone in our faculty.

the purty lady came up to our group and asked where the canteen was. we told her where it was but there was a big chance the canteen was closed as it was Ramadhan. that lady was Rachael Robeson. She and her husband, Thomas Robeson, were on a holiday. their friend, David Thompson, acted as their tour guide. Rachael and Thomas were very curious about Brunei’s culture and custom. i did my best in answering thier questions. although i am proud to be a Bruneian, it doesn’t necessarily mean  i know everything about Brunei.

anyways, we ended talking to them for about an hour, After finding out that they were from Texas, we were pretty much just as curious about them. honest to God, they are one of the nicest people i’ve ever met. they are so down to earth and very content with what they have. i had so much fun showing them Brunei. ….well, i showed them around the Mall.

 the day we first met rachael.

 me with rachael & thomas (i told you she was pretty)

 so anyway, last week Thomas & David were back with their group of friends: Shelley (who are friends with Rachael since they were 12), Lacey, Jeff and Andi (David’s daughter). i met up with them on wednesday (1st august). we had dinner at capers. i did not have a good start. first, i couldn’t find any parking space close to the place. second, the minute i parked, stray dogs decided to come and sniff my car!! (and no, it does not say anything about me OR my car!) i tried calling atul but she didn’t pick up. at this point, tears were forming and i was silently (but vehemently) cursing my luck. i finally managed to get out about 10 minutes later. Boon had to come out and get me. eveything was better afterwards. i even had fun. i talked mostly to Shelley,David and Andi as they were the ones sitting closest to me. we talked about pretty much everythng under the sun. from pacars (henna) to jawi. hehe. i even managed to talk about B. :p

 Shelley, Me and Andi.

 me and Shelley.

i can see why Rachael has been fiends with Shelley for a long time. She is equallly nice, smart and not to mention, beautiful. she’s the kind of girls who has a positive outlook on everything. she (like me ;p) believes that everything happens for a reason. last sunday, we decided to mee again at tha Mall. this time i brought B along. unsurprisingly, the boys and girls got seperated. while we were shopping (i am happy i’m a girl :D)the boys were hanging out at Dome (a cafe).

for dinner,we ate at escapade, a sushi restaurant. we had a blast! never in my life have i seen a table filled with uncooked food. hehehe. oh and on the rare occasion that Thomas does read my blog,: Thomas, i am proud of you! you ate sushi for the first time! and i witnessed it! a historical moment.. 

 Bo, Thomas and Atul @ escapade.

they went home next day. unfortunately, since i already made plans, i didn’t get to see them off i did, however, managed to give them a last minute farewell msg. hehehe. meeting and hanging out with them was definitely one of the highlights of my week. its been a while since i did some much needed retail therapy.

sigh…. *ponders*

i’m lucky, i know that. i mean what are the chances of becoming close friends with strangers who has no connection to you?

haven’t been blogging in a while. been extremely busy. during the past couple of weeks when i have a good day, it was an extremely great day but if it was bad, it’d be so low, worms are eating me. i’m still trying to decide which part i consider too personal to blog. there’s a fine line between ‘ok with the whole world knowing’ and ’something people didn’t need to know’

writing everything in one post would be very long. i’ve decided to break it down into different posts. soooo.. watch this space.
