another girl in her own world..

actuall had a busy day out today.. but first..

HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY TO BRAT #1. my lil sister. she turned 20 yesterday. who would’ve thunk it? that scrawny girl is 20! may your life be blessed with everything you hoped for and more. amin.

then..

congratulations to an rnB, ONA, who got engaged today! “selamat sudah..” did you find out what that means?? i really do wish that kamu “sampai ke jinjang pelamin” and happy/sehat sampai kamu be-cucu and cicit. hehehehe.. *hugs*

today is the Royal Brunei Armend Forces’s anniversary. i.e.: HOLIDAAAAAAAAY!!! but it didn’t feel like one since i was out the whole time. *sigh* which is why i’m planning to stay in the whole day tomorrow, just watching dvds. n reading. in bed. with a lot of junk food. :p cant wait!!

fiz went back to UK this evening. i think since this is the 7th? 8th? year she’s going off we didn’t cry. at all. we’re ganno miss her desperately but thanks to technology (which i am still very kuno about, mind you)  we can keep in touch more. speaking of which, i’ve been spending more time with my ladies lately. its heartwarming to know that even after 5 years of graduation (7 for some of us) we still managed to meet up and still confide with each other eventhough we don’t see each other on a daily basis like we used to. saja reflecting.. i know my post have been boring lately, but ntah… can’t seem to think of anything interesting to post AAAAAAAND if i do, there’d be no time to do it..

o well. lap y’all…

ugh. in school right now. had to stayback. because of the 3 times a week thing. too lazy to explain in full details.

anywhoo.. so here i am in school, bored. i bought my laptop thinking i could type all the lesson plans. as it turned out, i’m a fast typer. or maybe i just didnt have as many to type. hehehehe.

i think i’m finally getting the hang of working here. i mean, sure, i still complain, but its in moderation now! hehe. ….ok, i’m babbling. and hungry!! what shud i eat ah..?

meet B. this is the guy who always makes me feel like the prettiest girl in the world one minute, and makes me wanna tear my hair out in frustration the next. he’s the one guy who really gets me. he was there, holding my hands, wiping my tears during the downs and he was there jumping next to me during the ups.

today is his day. he was born today, 18th May, 24 years ago. obviously a special day, so had a surprise in mind. i decided to give him a PSP. and since i’m more than just a ‘tad’ technology-challenge, i had to ask his siblings for help. on that note, i’d like to thank fadli & nabilah again, for helping li ol’kuno me.

anyway, the idea was to present B with a crappy first gift and then surprise him with the real gift. i was planning to make him think ‘thats it??’ (i know i sound mean but it was a great idea when i first thought of it! honest!! :p) an incident that happened yesterday (a whole new blog post there) that kinda made it easier to sound annoyed for B. hehe. anyway, the crappy gift was a work shirt that was obviously too small for B to wear (fadli’s idea) and make him do stuff he didn’t wanna do. (yes, i do realise how cruel it sounds now)

me and B’s siblings went out shopping on wednesday (impromptu) when we bought the PSP… lets just say it was hard for us to bring it home with us if we want B to be fully satisfied with the gift. so we had to figure out a way to make B wanna go to the Mall on a Sunday. hence, the ‘cruel’ plan.

but he made it hard!! the plan was i give the gift #1 then we watch movie. but actually, nabilah and fadli would be waiting for us at the shop. but then he said ‘i don’t want to watch movie. its my birthday. shouldn’t we do things that I wanna do?’ hehehe. true. so, i managed to persuade him to have late lunch at swensen’s instead (also at the Mall) clever,no? wrong. i changed the plan without letting nabilah and fadli!! crap. B said my repeated messaging tipped him off. hahaha. o well.

B opend the first gift in the parking lot. being the sweetie that he is, he said my gift was ‘thoughtful. thank you, sayang.’ thoughtful???  i told you he was sweet. theeeeeeeeen we went up to swensen’s where nabilah and fadli wasn’t there yet! so i used my usual indecisiveness to stall for time. being usually annoying does come in handy sometimes. when the siblings arrive, i told B the surprise was to watch the movie together. :p he didn’t fall for that one. at least i didn’t think so. hehe. 

on the way,

me: ‘oh yea, B. your other gift.’ giving him the receipt of the real present wrapped.

B: ‘huh? apa nie?’ *tearing* (i swear to god, i thought he’s tear the receipt too.) the look on B’s face when he realised what it is, everything that i went through to do it was worth it. his face just lit up. his smile widen. his eyes brightened up. my back still hurts from his tight hug. oh, he was still in shock 10 minutes of realising. he was just like a happy lil kid. hehe.. my everything, this guy..

happy birthday, B. may your life be blessed with happiness and health always. may you live a long life (with me. hehehe.) *hugs*

i love you, cutes.

been busy. obviously. too busy to even post about my birthday! so lets seeeeeeee…

28th April (monday): pretty mundane day. just busy with work. realised that the mid-year exam is next week. so had a minor panic attack then went into action mode. preparing lessons for the days to come.

29th April (tuesday): woken up by B. at 00.15am. he did his yearly Happy Birthday song. this year, its in the most bawd-iest voice i’ve ever heard. he’s so sweet, my man.. :p and so, from that moment on, my phone didn’t stop ringing until late in the night. i feel so loved thank you so much, my dalengs.. your messages (sometimes halfway around the world ) were so full of love.. *hugs* i went home around 2pm. and spent the rest of the day with my little brother. a much needed retail therapy was conducted on this day. hehehehe.

fast forward to 2nd May (friday): 6 years and 7 months. thats how long me and B have been together “officially”. btw, i find it weird how bruneian teens get together. they have to ‘propose’ lagi. i remember mocking it yet expected it when a guy was ‘courting’ me. ok. that a whole other post right there. hehe!! anyways, since we were both kinda busy on my day itself, we decided to celebrate it on our anniversary. we actually had a few thing planned but due to unavoidable circumstances, they had to be changed. fortunately, it was memorable either way. first, we watched ‘ironman’. siiiiiiiok!! granted, it wasn’t was fun as transformers, but still!! robert downey jr did some fine acting.. theeeeeen, had lunch with B’s family with my little brother. i didnt take any pictures. heh. but yea. after lunch, me and B had the rest of the day to ourselves. being with the one you love who is pampering you. who could ask for more? :p B bought me perfume for my birthday. proof that he does listen when i talk. and his sibling’s gave me a bag. awwwww.. sweet, no? i didn’t see it coming. (note to self: don’t forget THEIR birthday!! hehehhe.)

that was almost a week ago so i dont really remember the full details. but what i do remember was how i felt. happy. and loved. and grateful. it has been a dramatic and sometimes chaotic couple of years. so i’m grareful that this year was peaceful and drama free.

i feel loved.
