16th december 2008... nearly 5 months without any updates on this site... i do wonder if anyone even bother checking whether its being updated or not after the 1st month of my absence... was going to abandon it altogether, but leave the site up... but decided to come back to blogging a month or so ago... but as luck would have it... my internet at home stop functioning... lucky me... nearly 4 weeks without internet at home... had to resort to watching my youtube channels in between work in the office... shhhhhhhh

I'm not a die hard trekkie myself... i did watch the occasional episode here and there when i was younger... but i wouldnt call myself a fan... and neither have i ever watched any of its movies... but i couldnt say no to the latest star trek movie... number one... because of the kewlie trailer...

and secondly because of zachary quinto (Sylar from Heroes)...

i dunno but all yáll... but i just think there's a certain hawtness to sylar dressing up as spock... normally the bowl haircut, pointy ears or upturned eyebrows would be a turn off... but not for sylar... yumzzz

watched the movie last week... and was pleasantly surprised at how good it was, actually i would have been more surprised if i disliked the movie... it is a J.J. Abrams film afterall... anywhooo does the movie make me want to watch star trek the series? no not really... it prolly doesnt have the same appeal... it did however motivated me to watch the season 3 of heroes over the weekend... woOt :p sad but so so what?

mmm a movie review as my (bloggie) comback?... lame u say? takin it one step at a time wor... bah laterzzz... i have work to do...

sick sick sick sick sick sick

i know i told you guys to stay tune coz i was gonna write bout me bday... but im siccckkkkk... luckily i only got sick after the celebrations hor... teehee... i tell you why im sick... and noooo its not because of all the 'partying' as you all would call it... i went for that bsm walkahunt on sunday with Papa Chong, walkahunt in btown under the hawt hawt sun... for 5 hours yaaaa...

I wasnt that prepared i must admit... i didnt wear a hat or bring an umbrella to shade meself... hell i didnt even win! but that deserves a different post altogether doesnt it...

It feels like my head is pounding! everytime i cough its as if my head would explode... this is what my typical cough sounds like... "*cough* OOOOOWWWWWWWW" it hurtsssss i tell you!!!

and tonight would be my third night sleeping with the aircon switched off... need to seriously sweat it out... and i keep replenishing as well... but maybe i sweat more than i drink loh... i didnt realise that it was that bad till today... today was my first day back to the office after a week of uninterrupted leave last week *bliss* i tell you... and bitchasses in the office were like... 'u look horrible like you lost more weight or something'... 'ooohhh i dont like your new haircut it makes you look thinner'... pah! at least i can say that i aint obese... fool!!!

first day back and i already counting down the days till the xmas/new year's holiday... i cant wait! you'd think that coz its the end of the year there isnt much to do in the office, but how wrong can you be... some ppl who are already on leave have been 'summoned' back to the office to attend meetings and do more work... *phew* luckily that didnt happen to me leh...

ok ok ok... i have drafted something bout me bday already... but not ready yet loh... its not terribly exciting i tell you... but i sed id write about it kan... i will do a proper one once im all better lah aight... bah wish me well laaaa

I'm I excited bout turning 26? mmm actually no difference... i have got the week off tho... celebrate it all week long... hehehe celebrations has already started last night actually... hehehe... and i have i think 4 more to go... weehee... and its the WHOLE WEEK ppl!!! they should make it into a national holiday maybe... with street parades, maybe a countdown would be nice... street floats maybe... hehe that sorta sounds like new year's eve!

weehee... ill update later bout what i did with my day aight... dont think its gonna be terribly exciting... but nonetheless no harm holding on to your seats waiting right?

i thought id be blogging more after my last post... but i guess some things happened that kinda made me a bit pre occupied and blogging was kinda the last thing on my mind then... but i guess now the dust is finally settling so i guess can i continue on writing...

thank god for the public holiday :) long weekend... was spent relaxing mostly i think... but i wished it was just a wee bit longer... it just goes past so quickly... needed the long weekend to be honest... the past couple of weeks was spent to and fro the ttown 'office' and the btown office for work... ive been driving up and down more often these days... sometimes up to maybe 3 times a day... kesian my car... need to find time to send it for servicing and tyres needs to be changed like ASAP...

it should be a pretty exciting week... with my day coming up soon... multiple celebrations lined up already... teehee... i should be all jumpy2 and super excited bout it... but im not really... *sigh*

k... just a short one for now... just wanted to drop in to let y'all know im kinda semi enjoying the public holiday hahaha

Going Down...

noreply@blogger.com (Jamieson) — Sun, 23 Nov 2008 01:40:00 +0000

Under...

you have been warned!!! extremely long post ahead!!!

i better start making up for lost time... eppsss... i only wrote one entry here last month and afraid i might do the same this month if i dont get off my lazy arse and write something... anywhooo im gonna start with my aussie trip which i just got back from... no i wasnt there on holiday... i wish... was a week long biz trip...

when i first heard that i was going down under, i was pretty much excited as any normal person should be, one week some more! and visiting 3 cities within that time, melbourne-sydney- perth, bargain innit for someone whos never step foot on australian soil :) automatically the mind starts to wander about all the purchases that would be made, all the tourist-ey places that i'd be visiting... but unfortunately it was hard core work the entire time there... early mornings, late nights, no weekends... tsk tsk tsk... and also shops in australia close at a weird time la... 5 in the afternoon... wth... but being paid to do work la, not to go visit2 so cant complain...

to start of with, there are no direct flights to melbourne from brunei airport, so had to take the 'red-eye' (hehehe i love saying that) to brisbane, then took a domestic flight to melbourne... in total it was a 7 hour flight, but despite that... it felt like we lost half the day just on travelling, we only arrived at the hotel 5 in the afternoon despite taking off from brunei airport at 1 in the morning...

stayed in the westin melbourne... westin ahhhh one of my favouritest hotels ever... i lurve lurve lurve the beds... the only way i could describe it (and i keep telling ppl this) that the bed feels like a big giant warm hug... once you had a lie down, its very difficult for you to leave, just want to stay there forever... dont play play ok... just down stairs got Chanel worrr... not that i went in, but it is nice to walk pass the boutique every day and stare at the nice bags and boots they have to offer... they had chanel wellington boots on display!!! i want a pair!!! an excuse to wear wellington boots in the rain!!!

the one on the right is Chanel (from here)

anyways, it was quite unfortunate that the bed here in westin melbourne dont feel the same, or not as i remembered it, it just felt like a normal comfortable hotel bed, i dunno what was different this time compared to the one i stayed in KL... but nevermind lah, its not like im gonna be staying in bed the entire time im there right?

oh and since its nearing summer there, it didnt get dark till bout 8 in the evening, so it kinda gave me a chance to walk around the city and see what they have to offer... i heart ang mo land... it was mid november and the xmas deco was already up

the huge xmas tree outside my window :)

melbourne is quite clean, with wide streets and side walks, quite pleasant really to walk around by yourself there... and they have quite a handful of asians there hor, it felt like i was back in London for a while there, you know coz in London its just full of foreigners hehe and its hard to find someone on the streets thats actually born and breed and in London... but yeaaa... only difference is here, the asians are hawter!!! no joke! its as if all the good looking asians were exported and melbourne is their number 1 customer! well other ppl might argue differently... but i was just happy to be surrounded by gorgeous ppl there... tho actually it kinda made me feel slightly ugly bout myself... not really great for the self esteem really... ohhhh and its just weird seeing them and listening to these ozzie asians talk, with their ozzie accents 'ohhhhhh thats soooo cuuuuuteeee'... some how, how they look and what comes out of their mouth just dont seem to match... i guess thats a lil bit like me hahahahah

i lurved walking around the streets of melbourne (well mostly around the city centre since i dont know the place and i didnt want to wander around to far), eventhough shops were closed by then it did kinda give me a chance to check out the buildings there... i like laaaaa, its just refreshing to be in a city where all the building dont all lookalike... i find the place quite modern really... but others might say that the building is an eye sore coz they lack colour and life...

but look even the university has a funky green entrance... not boring at all laaa... i bet uni life in melbourne is fun la! makes me want to go back and study... wonder if they have any courses related to my line of work there...

i kinda only had the first day free there... but no use really since all i did was roam round the city centre looking at buildings, then it was work work work, spent two nights in melbourne but when i was there, as part of our business meeting, we were brought to a restaurant in China Town called flower drum... they claimed that it was once the BEST CHINESE RESTAURANT in the whole of Australia... i dunno how true lah, but food wasnt that bad and service was great... it was all just seafood so im not a big fan... oh yea speaking of seafood... i had to take my allergy pills when i was there coz its seafood all the way that week... i dont want to be walking into the board room with swollen red eyes... teehee...

anywhooo, funny story... the Flower Drum bah (sorry now pics, formal working lunch bah)... talk about taking a long lunch break... 3 hours ok for us to finish our meal... it was a set meal... so everything was served to us right... after about the 3rd course we were all pretty much full and ready to head back, but the dude who brought us there was like 'that was just the entree'... we laughed and giggled after he made that remark but he wasnt joking... it was a freakin 8 course meal... i mean im all for entertaining your clients dude... but i was just TOO full to even enjoy whatever was served... i mean even the dessert which was just a fruit platter, they could have just served me that for my lunch and i would have been happy.... the portions were ginormous!!!

back to my story... we spent two nights in melbourne... unlike the first day, the rest of the days were spent staring out to the city from the inside of the board room... sometimes literally... we had this meeting which was on the 40+th floor of some building and the board room was at the corner and the view is amazing... you could see the whoooooleeeee city from up there... very nice leh! then it was off to sydney after that...

we didnt spend as much time in sydney like we did in melbourne... just 24 hours in fact, no point unpacking you luggage... and we arrived at our hotel late at night, and as soon as we got there we headed out straight away coz we wouldnt have time to check out the opera house or the sydney harbour bridge the next day... plus we've not had dinner yet so it kinda gave us a excuse to explore the city :)

i think its pwetty with the moon just above the opera house

my camera is pretty shit at taking pictures at night... but i think its nice to look at... as a first timer i mean... im sure after a while it might get a wee bit boring... and i heard that you can climb up the harbour bridge... something i wouldnt mind doing actually, but id leave that to another time...

taken on our way to lunch :)

look what i spotted!!! suspended semi-translucent whales

weather has been great the entire time we were there... i think that that was prolly the best time to visit oz... spring time, just before summer, before it hits 40+ degrees... blah... i mean it was hot and sunny but at the same time breezy so u dont feel the burn i spose... we were fortunate to have great weather the past few days... but when we were gonna take our sydney-perth flight that night, it got delayed due to weather... apparently the airport had to shut down coz of lightning storms... no planes were able to land/take off and as a result all flights were delayed lah...

and bida bah the domestic airport... the kadai all close early... just like the shops outside... there were were stranded at the airport and no place to go to eat or shop... pah! how to help the australian economy if like that?! silly bah!

yatah we only reached out perth hotel at 2 in the morn... and had an early morning lagi tu! so cruel!!! and you know how it is... its not like you automatically fall asleep when you reach the hotel innit... u have to orientate yourself and make yourself familiar with the room before settling down innit! so tidur at 3+ am lah!

but ok lah... coz the next day we got to go on one of these...

teehee... had to take a chartered flight to our next destination u know! an hour's flight north of perth... some kampung called Dongara just to check on some facilities they have there...

we even went on a boat to check it out :)

ohhhh and its so kampung there... they have flies everywhere!!! gali laaa... no use you trying to get rid of them... they'll just keep on coming... and yes for your info i smelled really good aight... i showered that morning... its not the smell they're attracted to... they're just everywhere...

now i know how those kids feel from those documentaries on third world children... :( check me outzzz with my hard hat and googles... MANNNN huh!!! hehehe and i dunno... it just looks as if ive not shaved that morning... but i did... australian water i tell u makes things grow faster than they should... heheheh

and since we were in Dongara... better eat their local delicacy right? apparently that town is the Australian capital of Rock Lobster... i think thats what they call it... turns out when we were there... it was the first day of the Lobster season... since the fisherman there are only allowed to catch these lobsters like 6 months out of the year... for conservation purposes i would imagine, and yea so we got to feast on the Rock Lobster when we were there...

and they dont come any fresher than these... maybe an hour or two before this was cooked... this poor thing was still walking along the seabed maybe... it came straight from the fisherman's boat and onto the chef's pan u know! they was so much hype bout this lobster when we were there... but honestly it just tasted like prawn... a big giant prawn... hahaha

the next day was spose to a rest day for us... since its a sunday... but again no such luck... met with a few more ppl, but this time it wasnt in some board room... we went on a fancy yatch (sp?) and went round swan lake... i even had a go at driving(?) the thing... scary leh, with all the small boats around, scared i might run them over leh...

it was really nice being on the boat, nice view of the city, nice clean water... and i tell you these ppl are filthy rich... they have houses by the lake... just overlooking the water... and these are huge ass houses... huggggeeeeeeeeeeee... they even have garage for their boats... waaaahhhh i wouldnt mind living that life hor...

we spent the longest in perth... and other than the chartered flight, or the boat ride... that city is just not for me... too dead for my liking to be honest... ok lah maybe compared to Brunei it might not be as dead, but at least the shops dont close early in Brunei innit...

funny story bout Perth... i think we kinda met up with 3 different companies when we were there... and the 1st company, we had lunch with them we were brought to this restaurant by the yatch club... a bit poshy woshy lah... i guess they have to be, since members of that club are millionaires and billionaires right... well anywhooo... i guess the seafood there is good... so they brought us to lunch at that restaurant... we ordered the set meal... starters, main course, desert, the usual lah... but service was a bit slow and it was already mid afternoon by the time we got through our mains... we decided to abandon desert and check out the shops, we kinda made a fuss to the restaurant that service was slow and we were gonna leave... and so we left la...

that night we had a dinner meeting with another company... and turns out the dinner was at the same restaurant by the club... we were all just praying that they dont have the same waiters they had that lunch time... coz of course we didnt want this company to know that we met up with another company when we were there... competition bah! but of course as luck would have it... it was the same waiter... what to do... had to act like we've never been to the place lah...

then theres the ang mo going.... 'wahhh we picked this place for dinner coz of the great view'... and then there we were just nodding away... mmmm... fine fair enough! the next night... another company... and surprise surprise... they brought us to dinner to the exact same spot... now its juts not funny... and u know what... same waiter served us!!!! 'WOW BACK AGAIN?!?' had to grin through the whole thing... pah!!! i dunno lah... just not my cup of tea that place, the food is to pretentious... sauteed this laaaa grill this laaa... just gimme my fish and chips and im happy luv! :p

other than that... nothing else to say bout the trip really except maybe... it might have been one of the best biz trip ive been on... minus the no shopping or minimum sight seeing it wasnt bad hor.... definitely have to go back there again... for holiday lah of course... or maybe i could trick the office to send me there again...

see told you its gonna be a long post... making up for lost time bah :p

what up?!?

noreply@blogger.com (Jamieson) — Fri, 21 Nov 2008 05:31:00 +0000

keep getting complaints from readers saying ive not been updating... for good reasons i might add... too busy bah... yeah yeah same excuse everyone else gives... but its true mah...

just a run down of what has happened since my last post...

went to see Chun & Ah Sa when they came down to Btown...
went to singapore for the weekend with the boys
busy with organising an event for work the next week
halloween
BM's & S wedding
went on week long 'tour' round ozzie...

and now im back... weehee... i keep telling myself that yes i will write bout it when i find the time... but like i said BUSY BAH... work has been crazy and unforgiving... i am just hoping and wishing that i could take a week or two off in december for xmas & new year... speaking of which, my new year's trip might not happen this year boooo... but hopefully ill get the green light *fingers crossed*

oh stupid thing happened... my phone died on me when i was in OZ... after the 2nd day i think... yea u heard me... my diamond died on me! i cant do nothing with it... reseting it didnt help... i cant exactly be roaming around some foreign land with no phone can I? had to buy myself some cheap ass phone when i was there... so yeaaa cant access my diamond, so basically my phone contact list was empty... bwaaaa... in a land where EVERYONE is walking about showing off their iPhone & Blackberry i felt quite inadequate with my flimsy nokia flip phone... at least its got a camera... 0.3MP !!!! hahahah

whatever... k ill update soon enough i hope

Butterfly Lovers

noreply@blogger.com (Jamieson) — Thu, 09 Oct 2008 03:18:00 +0000

Hello lurveleysss...

cant believe its actually here... i was actually wondering if our local cinema would show 'Butterfly Lovers'... its been out for a few weeks now but wasnt sure when it would come to our shore... thought of catching it in the Lion City next weekend... but found out that they wont be showing the movie till November...

anywhoooo... how excited was I when I got the call from one of my handful of BFFs (i heartzzz you very much)last night who got me a ticket to the sneak preview of the movie... VERY... even though i already booked tickets for tonight's show but what the hell... why not right... it doesnt matter that my BFF called me at the last minute and i was already on my way home... for this movie i drove back down to btown in time for the movie wor... yes i did... no i didnt have time to shower or get all dressed up for it... and my hair was a mess... thats what you get la for being in a rush... *teehee*

its showing at the Mall atm... in Cinema 1 no less... bigger screen kali ahhh... so yea its the first time seeing him on the big screen... and i guess its not bad hor... i didnt like the fact that his voice was dubbed... couldnt feel the full effect without his voice... wahahahha

movie aint that bad... got a few funny moments, touching scenes, and maybe if they had a few more s****less scenes it would have been nicer... but then again what do i know... i aint there for the storyline... wahahahah

ohhhh u guys should definitely check it out... not saying it coz im biased or anythin *cough cough* but its for a good cause dontcha know? every dollar from the ticket sale is donated to SMARTER... a cause that is very dear to my friend Captain Kimberley... ohhh speaking of which right... there were loads of photogs and media bah last night during the sneak and before goin in to the cinema they had this donation box outside the door... and the photogs were waiting with their huge as camera in front of the transparent box waiting for you to approach them and put a lil bit of dosh in the box... luckily i had my wallet with me hor... what if i brought my coin purse only... paiseh! hehehehe

Well Done Well Done... hmmm maybe ill watch it again lah tonight... since i still have tickets for tonight... see you there? ohhh i heard him and Ah Sa coming to our shores very soon... oooohhhh i heard only... :p

T.A.M.A.3.

noreply@blogger.com (Jamieson) — Fri, 26 Sep 2008 03:45:00 +0000

As in The Amazing Race Asia 3... i heart watching The Amazing Race, coming from someone who hardly watches TV now... its one of the handful of programmes on TV that i actually follow... hell i want to be in it... one of the reasons why i joined the Tri-X wasnt it? perasan bah...

I'm seriously thinking of sending my audition tape for next season... it shouldn't be too hard right? hahaha... what have they done so far this season? well, eating a bowl of fried insects including fried scorpions... changing car tyres and oil... washing a double decker bus... going on a 25 hour+ bus trip... there are more la, but these are the ones that kinda stick out in my mind... all things ive not done before... but i really think i can rough it out and do it... except maybe the part where you have to change the car's tyres... that i wouldnt have a clue where to start, but so long as they give me instructions, i think i shud be good...

eating a bowl of those fried scorpions shouldnt be a problem either i think... is it not all in the mind kah? say only mah... see la when it happens to me... ohhh and i think last season they had the teams eat a bucket full of balut... ermmm that one i probably couldnt stomach... hehehe

So the next question... who should i go with? to me finding an amazing race partner is just as difficult as finding your life partner no? Ideally this person would have to be fit, knows how to drive a manual (duh... ive not driven a stick of that variety since my teenage years... plus i think im a good navigator... i SHOULD be good with maps)... this person should not be too hard headed or temperamental, that should be left to me... and of course they have to know how to take orders from me :) difficult kan... where to find this ideal person hor?

plus... i should already have a "relationship" with this person NOW if i want to make it in time for next season innit... is it just me or is our asian version of the Amazing Race more on the conservative side (ok i know its not rocket science... CONFIRM la conservative)... its so obvious that all the teams are in an effing relationship with each other in the show... except for the siblings teams... if they are then thats just sick sick SICK... and the beauty queens as well... doubt they drink off the fanny cup... yatabah... dont bother calling yourself "Friends" on the show bah... "Roommates" kahh... ok jua

ohhh and someone made the same observation i did... one of them do kinda resemble our very own local celebrity DJ innit... SNAP i tell you... hehehehe

ohhhhhhhh and one thing i dont exactly like bout this asian version is that everyone on the show is already a pseudo celebrity... so unfair... and and what's with them ALWAYS picking eurasians to be on the show... how to join if like that? time to go and bleach the skin and hair...

maybe i should form a team my idol hor (the blogging one)... then can roam around the world and blog bout it no? we would make good TV kali ahhh... even if we didnt win... we would still rake in the viewers... ohhhh this was suggested to me last night... for our special friend Kimberley to join my team... since some ppl call her Jim... and thats kinda my name too... that should be our thing... shes Jim GURL and im Jim BOY... BUT BUT BUT the irony is... Jim GURL is in the Army... but Jim BOY is a hair stylist (even though im not, they insisted i should claim to be one)... sillyness...

so ok... those interested should just email my your application to become my team mate aight! i mean being in my team... FOR SURE win ok... dont even have to think about it... dont care so much about the challengese we'd be doin during the race... thats nothing OK... the difficult bit is for me to pick you!!! have to prove yourself to me horrrr... hahaha... im serious!

Just a Thought...

noreply@blogger.com (Jamieson) — Wed, 24 Sep 2008 02:01:00 +0000

for the past few weeks ive been taking time off work during puasa... but now im back to work... and the next leave ill be taking would be during christmas and the new year... i was planning to take a long one then... just because i could... anyways... so i shared my intentions with some of the colleagues... who then informed me than one of my other colleague wants to take time off around the same time...

the thing is... me and this particular collegue of mine cant take time off at the same time... so now it boils down to who should get this leave? ive already bout my air ticket as im planning to go off somewhere that time... so i was just waiting for this particular person's excuse for taking time off... but how dissapointed was i when i heard her excuse was... 'i should take this leave over you because i have kids'... say what?

i just thought that was a lame ass excuse... like hello... i should not be penalised because i choose NOT to have kids... why should i be punished because i dont lead the same lifestyle as you... stupid cow... and just for your info... her kids are butt ugly... i mean i could just let it go if her kids were cute... but unfortunately they're not (please dont comment to say that all kids are adorable... believe me ive met these kids... and they're not anything to be proud of)...

that kinda made me think about what parents can get away with nowadays... preggers mums in particular... if i had a choice i would not like to work with any whos preggers... most likely you have to do the work yourself innit... coz if they get lazy they could pull 'im preggers and i cant work' card on you... and who are you to argue right? i dunno how it feels... maybe it does feel like shit all the time...

its so unfair... i want to be preggers too so i dont have to work all the time... *teehee*

KL2...

noreply@blogger.com (Jamieson) — Tue, 16 Sep 2008 01:51:00 +0000

hollaaa... so here's part 2 of my trip... i would have written it sooner... but a bit malas innit... so anywhooo... i heart the hotel i stayed in... we had our meetings in the hotel too... so we had our brekkie and lunch there... im not one who gets all excited with hotel breakfast since in my opinion theyre all the same... given the choice i think i'd rather sleep in a lil bit longer and skip breakfast... but not here laaaa...

im soooo sakai laaaa... i heart the brekkie buffet... purely coz they had a juice bar!!! fresh ones ok... you just pick which mix of fruit you want and they'll juice 'em right there and then... totally worth it... i prolly had three glasses of different mix in one sitting... have to make it worth it innit... im such a cheapo like that... :p

lunch was equally impressive... had fresh oysters buffet kali ahhhh!!! but given my condition, i shouldnt be indulging in such things right? but i couldnt resist laaaa... lucky scrapper was there for the meeting too, and she brought along those pills thats spose to make u less iritant to seafood (i think... whatever la... basically i took them so i can enjoy my oysters)... only had three coz didnt want to over do it... but then after that i got a lil bit paning... and didnt really pay attention during work that afternoon, i was a lil bit zonked out, dunno whether it was the pills coming into effect or the oysters... either way... lurving it...

ohhhhhhh and the desert bar as well... i luuuuurveeeeeeeeee... other than the usual cakes and ice cream that you normally get in a buffet... they also have m&m... PEANUTS... my favourite innit!!! damn wicked! if i had it my way... id take the entire jar and bring it up to me room and stuff my face senseless... but best i share la... no need being all greedy... ohhh not just chocolate candy... they all have those gummy jelly cola bottle types too!!! spoiling me rotten kali ahhh... good thing its part of the meeting package innit...

so anyways... speaking of food... venturing outside the hotel... i found this... lookie... so sort of jerkie type of thing... i know its not a huge wow factor... but its not like its something you get in Brunei right?

it tasted ok ok la only... had three types... chicken, sambal chicken and beef... only tried the first two of course... like i said... ok ok only laa... to me just tsated like minced satay... ohhhh can u tell im a proper Bruneian? of course had to make a stop at nandos there... its a must innit?

ohhh and look what the meeting people gave us...

i like it la... orange batik bag, it comes in all sorts of colours... but i opted for orange naturally... oh and look what comes in the bag...

my best karen cheng pose :)

an oversized batik shirt, which they told us to wear for the reception dinner... so weird right... so i dont normally dress like that... or look like that...

this one... yes... more like me i think... hahaha... taken the night before we left... i got rejected from 2 clubs you know coz me being me... wanted to wear shorts ... hmpf... what kan this KL... want to be fashionable also cannot... even got rejected from a fashion bar! so bidaaaaaaa... hmpf... so went back to the hotel & change to my jeans... then finally got in to this club, and u see half the dudes wearing shorts !!!! whats up with that....

2 weeks...

noreply@blogger.com (Jamieson) — Mon, 15 Sep 2008 03:34:00 +0000

argghhh... been nearly 2 weeks of fasting... and we have another 2 weeks+ to go... and ive got loads to do before then... arrggghhhh...

sent baju to the tailor already... sent it on the 2nd day of puasa innit... you know how they say you're spose to send it months before puasa...well... doesnt apply to our cara melayu... not like im gonna have embroidery or beading on it right?!?

and yey yey im on leaveeee... well not really... im just taking monday and tuesday off every week this month... why? coz then ill have a long weekend innit... and can wake up late during the day when everyone's out there working... everyone's been telling me how its a waste that i take it now coz of the shorter working hours... but why not... i dont function that well during puasa anyways... plus the lack of sleep coz of sahur doesnt seem to help either... so better i take time off innit... plus can catch up on my sleep so the day seems a lil bit shorter so i wont feel the hunger as much... pls save the lecture bout how im not spose to sleep all day during fasting season...

what have i been doing during my long weekends? mmmm nothing productive to be honest... i was hoping to get a bit of scrapping done... but so far... none... useless really... a lot of sleeping and catching up on my taiwanese drama series... and a fair bit of outing for sungkai and sahur... speaking of which... lemme tell y'all bout one of my sungkai outing experience last week...

have u guys been to this place???

the butter chicken masala (i think?) is super yummy laaaaa... and the buffet was like freaking cheap laaaa $6!!! whahaha i was well chuffed (yes im easy to please) coz like everywhere you go the sungkai buffet is like $20... i dragged along 3 others to try this place out... i lurved it... but the others didnt seem too impressed with it... but check out the deco...

was busy taking pics of the place till i completely forgot to take pics of the food... hehehe i wouldnt mind going there again... exclusive kali ahhhh... when we were there... it was just us 4!!! the place was EMPTY!!! had the place all to yourselves... hehehe... thrifty like that innit... book the entire place... wahahaha no laaa... i kid you not when i say the place was empty... the staff wasnt even around when we wanted to pay the bill (yup all $24!!!)... i do wonder tho... if we didnt turn up... there wouldnt be anyone to eat the buffet... kasian... what a waste hor...

got a few more sungkai/sahur outings lined up for this week... you'd think that you'd be saving a fair bit of dosh coz its puasa season coz you dont go out as much to eat... but mmm not really the case laaaa... i actually think i spend more on food this month than i normally do... and you'd think you'd be losing weight during this season... but nooo... weird hor...

k just a quick one... i still have my part 2 of my KL trip that ive not posted up yet... will do for the next one... laterzzz... its noon and i think my bed is calling out for me :)

Trying to backtrack....

noreply@blogger.com (Jamieson) — Wed, 10 Sep 2008 12:35:00 +0000

Just came back from sungkai outzzz... it was well yummy laaaa... and now im ready to go to sleep coz im sooo full i cant do anythin else laaaa... (maybe catch up on my taiwan series in bed later)...

oh my, so rude of me right? we've been fasting for a week kali sudah now... and ive not wished my readers a happy puasa and happy ramadan... silly me...

soooo anywhooo... this was my 2nd outing for sungkai... the 1st was over at Villa Mauri... didnt take any pictures there or tried the ala carte sungkai buffet menu... as they only served yup u guessed it... beef and fish... just ordered myself soup and pasta laaa... it was my first time there... and its ok laaa... nothing much to rave about really (but we did spend 2 hours consuming our food hehehehe)...

anywhooo, 2nd outing went to Saffron, and i was very surprised at how the place aint full... whats up with that? i thought its spose to be difficult to get a table ANYWHERE during puasa month... and i thought everyone had to resort to reserving tables a fews days in advance... hor???? food was like i said was great... naaahhhh come i show u...

me with me plate of dates and kusoi before sungkai... check it out... got bandung! i lurveeee

just some of our starters... some sort of salad with im guessing meatballs? and hummusssssss

so nice right? so clever too how the arrange the food... i guess to minimise wastage right? instead of us goin over to the buffet table and gettin the food ourselves they keep on refilling our plate for us... only had the rice and chicken and bits of veggie... didnt eat much but was full like crazy... ohhh and i guess another reason why the opted to serve the food was coz maybe they didnt have any room for a buffet table... hahahah...

and ohhhh someone made a lil announcement during sungkai as well... *teehee* someone recently found out that they will soon be ~~converting~~ migrating and joining the rest of us Simpsons as he calls it :p Congratzzz!!! worth the wait???

Annoyed...

noreply@blogger.com (Jamieson) — Tue, 09 Sep 2008 11:12:00 +0000

hello readers! yes i am actually still alive... and kinda still kickin it... well hardly lah... it is puasa season innit... this time my excuse for the lack of posts... is urmmm... facebook i think... and maybe laziness too hahahaha... and i only realised ive written only 3 posts in August! DISGUSTING!!! i shall try to redeem myself by attempting to write something that might amuse you... or not...

today i got super annoyed la... so remember a few posts ago i wrote about my sudden breakout and eczema attack? well its still not gone away completely... i think its getting better... thats just me la... i think it is... but in reality maybe its in the same state as it was when i last wrote bout it... well anywhooo... im a lil bit annoyed with the many comments and advise that ive been getting from random people who has noticed my current condition...

they keep tellin me to try this try that... excuse me miss, but dont you think i am doing something bout it... they prolly just think that i would just sit back a let it take over me... stupid... its not like i choose to have it... i cant just try whatever they recommend and abandon my current regime which the dr prescibed... it takes time innit...

then there's the 'maybe its something you ate' comment... dear... im already not eating red meat... i've cut out sea food from my diet... and its been goin on for months now, what else could it possibly be? dont tell me i cant eat chicken now... what the hell am i spose to feed on... i dont exactly have the full figure that i wish to have hahaha...

speakin of food right... you cant even imagine how difficult it is to be on a no red-meat & seafood diet... like the other day right... went to the gerai ramadan... loads of things i wanna get... but cant... theres me cucur udang laaa... theres that pari laaa... i cant even get normal nasi katok or nasi lemak... why u ask? welll usually they come with sambal pusu innit... yes i cant even have that... you'd think that i could prolly consume normal white-meat fish... but no... i only took a lil bite or two the other day... and couldnt stop itching the next day...

oh such a random post today... just felt like ranting out a lil bit today... i have been meaning to write for ages... but malas to upload the pics i want to show bah... hahaha... bah next till next time

Still Here?

noreply@blogger.com (Jamieson) — Mon, 25 Aug 2008 12:55:00 +0000

again... im not even going to apologise for the lack of updates... i just came back from KL... not Kuala Lurah... the real Kuala Lumpur innit... hahaha... before getting you all get all excited... i was there for work aight! tho relatively a short trip... i was still knackered from all the meetings...

i dont normally like to talk about work... but i think ill make this an exception... this specific work meeting that i went to comes twice a year, and its in the ASEAN region... so every meeting is in a different country... and you never know which hotel you end up staying in... im quite pleased with our accommodation this time round... tho a lil bit out of the way in terms of shopping... but i was well impressed with the hotel nonetheless...

even though it was a bit far from the shopping area... the monorail is just 2 mins walk from the hotel... so all is not lost... plus not like i had loads of time to go shopping anyways... come i show you the inside of the hotel... very nice hor...

the hotel lobby...

then there's my room... pretty standard... but i still lurve it... its slightly bigger than normal hotel rooms i think...

lurve the cushion colours... orange and green... my fav :)

theyre so thoughtful... yea yea i took a picture of the power socket... no need for travel adapters... ohhhh and the tv also comes with a DVD player... silly me forgot to bring the Lil'Britain DVD to watch (yes ive still not watched it... guilty!)... and theres even a socket for your iPod and your laptop to the screen... clever horrrr....

can even see KLCC from my window... well then again... it is the tallest building in the city... so i guess you're bound to see it outside your window innit... hahaha short post only... just to show you all how easily impressed i am... and how sakai i can be at times :p

24hrs in LA...

noreply@blogger.com (Jamieson) — Fri, 15 Aug 2008 08:05:00 +0000

yes... i am aware that i have not updated this blog... well... if your one of the handful who got sick of reading my previous post over and over again, i did put a lil disclaimer at the end there saying not to expect any posts in the near future innit, i'm busy with my online MJ innit!!! which btw im getting bored with... and plus i just came back from my trip to LA... so im still a lit bit jet lag... i was there for P&W wedding!!! get ready for pics galore!

whoooopssss did i say LA??? i meant to say LAbuan... and whoooopsss did i say jet lag??? i meant to say we went via the serasa JETty... hahahaha... hey! i still think its funny...

its been over two years i think since i last visited LAbuan... theres nothing much there to be honest... its only an hour boat ride to get there... and ticket is fairly cheap... just that the jetty terminal in Brunei is all the way in Serasa... and the LAbuan jetty terminal is waaaayyy nicer than the Serasa one...

my only complaint about the Serasa terminal is the immigration queue... it took bloody ages to get my passport stamped by them (it didnt help that i was at the back if the queue too)... but at least they let me through... unlike Changi airport... i had a lil incident with them earlier this year coz they wouldnt let me pass... coz apparently i dont look like my picture in my passport... whatd you expect... it was taken in 2000... 8 years ago innit... ppl evolve kali ah

it was the weekend of 080808... so as expected i had a handful of wedding invites... but opted to go the LAbuan wedding coz it sounds way better and i know id have more fun there... plus it was a beach wedding!!! ive never been to one... so this was a definite MUST! I think most of the boats (?) that day coming in to LAbuan from Brunei was mostly filled with the wedding guests... a group of us left the Serasa jetty at 1ish and after an hour boat ride + immigration delay... by the time we reached our hotel which was a good 15-20 minutes from the terminal... it was already 3... checked in and only have less than 2 hours to get ready before the wedding!!! pressure ness... PLUS we've not eaten our lunch yet... so i was super hungry during the ceremony...

Check out my sandal, cute huh!... we stayed at a hotel/resort so it was next to the beach where the wedding was... weather was good and because it was at 5+ the sun wasnt scorching hot... im not there to get a tan... so that wasnt my number one priority that day... plus im already nice and bronzed :)

one of the prettiest bridesmaid ive ever come across in my whole life...

well... we came down to the beach pretty late... but made it just in time to see the flower girls + bride maids walk down the sand aisle (?) its so refreshing to be in a hotel wedding thats not in ermmm i dunno Empire... not that i mind hehehe (i dont want ppl to not invite me to their wedding just coz its gonna be at Empire hehehe)

talk about getting into the beach mood... the father of the bride sending the bride in just a sarong... ohhhh and he was singing some sappy lurve song i think at the same time... very sweet horrr

the bride and groom... i dunno if you can see... but the groom had a note on his back that sez 'HELP ME!' and the bride has another one that sez 'TOO LATE'... so them laaa to do something like that... very niceeee

the couple saying their vows with everyone perched around them with their cameras clicking away... actually i think this is the first wedding ive been to where NO one is sitting down...

hehehe obligatory pic with the lady who wedded the couple...

after the ceremony it was off for some dinner loh...

one of the best wedding souvenir ever received... so clever... its a sarong with the couple's names on them... very thoughtful lahhh... later i show u why... didnt take pics of the food coz like i said i was effing hungry... and that dinner was my first meal that day...

group pic with the couple before we moved to the beach for the after show party...

removal of the garter... before that it was the bouquet toss which i didnt takes photos of obviously... i was too busy trying to catch it innit... which i failed to btw... damnit! im never gonna get married at this rate :p

the party started not long after that... ppl were busy goin up on stage singing laaa... dancing laaa... and then there was us busy taking pics on the beach... i dunno what it is abou this tree... i dunno what our fascination is with it... but i cant even tell you how many pics i have of us posing with the tree... i dunno what kind of pose we were doing there... but i think we were trying to attempt to pose ala bollywood style... not long after some of us went back to the rooms to get refreshed up coz it was hot outside laaa... u'd expect itd be breezy being next to the beach... but no such thing laaa... ohhhh so some of us changed laaaa to something more cooling...

told you the sarong was a great idea... it looks sooo nice huhhhh... well... i didnt bother changing into the sarong... doesnt go kali ahhh with my shirt... see keep on posing with the same tree... WHY HUH... party was pretty happenin lohhh... sweated so much laaa... i dunno what time it all ended but i ended up in the pool sometime that night... just to cool off worrr...

ohhh and this is us the next day laaa... waiting for our taxi back to the jetty... spent less than 24hrs in LA innit... other than the wedding nothing much to do there kali ahhh... sight seeing? mmm not really... the trip was quite enjoyable la... despite it being a short one... if it werent for the wedding i wouldnt stay in that hotel... the room size was OK la... but nothing seems to be working at all...

no central unit aircon... the sliding door to the balcony doesnt close... the TV has only one channel (RTM1 in case you're wondering)... no fridge... no mini bar... NO ROOM PHONE... OMG! its the first hotel ive ever stayed in that doesnt have its own phone... how do you order room service? you dont! the bath tub was dirty... good thing they had a seperate shower unit... even that was pathetic... you turn the tap on... and the water just drizzles down... it takes bloody ages to take a shower...

ohhhh and only after we came back to Btown did the girls bother to mention that the hotel is actually haunted... pah! but then again im not one to be bothered by those things... and kesian u know... i heard a lot of ppl got bad tummy aches after the trip... i was lucky to not have gotten it... bluergh!

nah! so finally ive updated and written something!!! with loads of pictures some more... hahahah

p.s. regarding my previous post bout being XX's new BFF... no i wont be going to the audition... why? i hear u ask... coz im actually not one of the finalist... the video was just for her making fun only of some of the applicants... she called me funny tho :p i didnt even get emailed/called by them to go to audition laaaa... but i guess thats me making my mark in the blogosphere huhhhhh... i was soooo shiok sendiri already... thinking bout migrating to Spore and becoming a full time BFF... quit my job here and play MJ all day and night there... but then i was thinking what about my VISA... id be unemployed there... i guess she could be my guarantor huhhh... bwahahahah :p

MJ lifesaver

noreply@blogger.com (Jamieson) — Thu, 31 Jul 2008 03:00:00 +0000

ladies and gents... as you all know (well even if you didnt YOU SHOULD)... i am crazy addicted to MJ... MAHJONG LAAA not micheal jackson... crazy peeps... and ever since stupid viwawa barred our Bruneian IP address from playing, my nights have gotten slightly lonelier *cue tears*... my friends dont want to play with me as often as last time, they claim im secretly robbing them *uhukzzz*... and its not easy to find 3 other free kakis to play with...

but lately... lookie lookie... i been keeping meself pre-occupied if this... cheng cheng cheng...

its another FREE online MJ game... but i wont put the link here... just in case viwawa's 'local partner' want to do a joint venture with this MJ game too *hmpf*... it super fun... and just like viwawa you can play with your online friends too... or make friends online with the other players... or if your that desperate you can even play with the online computer!!! super fun right?!?... they even have Big 2 there... but ive not tried that... i lurve the MJ tiles more...

when you sign up you're automatically given 50000 'points' and after several sleepless nights i have accumulated more than 130000 'points' *ahem ahem* and have been promoted to 'King of M' im guessing M stands for Mahjong... ohhh and amongst my fwens... of course ive got the highest score *teehee*... i have too much free time *shuddup*

i normally dont play with fan, but i think ive gotten the hang of it now... i now play a minimum of 4 fan... HK style... and im effing lurving it... i mean i have to start somewhere innit... how to become a world king of MJ if dont play with fan huh!!!

unlike viwawa... the tiles are smaller so kinda have to squint a lil bit more here... and there are no cute cartoon avatars or cartoon voices that goes off everytime u throw out a tile... and its at a faster pace (eventho u can set the rate as to how fast you want it)... BUT the great GREAT thing about this is... ive NEVER experienced any form of lag with this MJ game... which was VERY common with viwawa...

expect less blog entries from now on as my free time online is occupied with playing online MJ... hahahahahah

Double Whammy

noreply@blogger.com (Jamieson) — Wed, 30 Jul 2008 12:23:00 +0000

I went to the doctor's yesterday... my skin's been troubling me lately... my eczema has gotten worse... i dont understand why its only my face that's affected... its been a couple of months now... and around my nose area... and now its spread to my eyelids...

mind you... it dont feel itchy or nothing... went to the dr last month, and he gave me some kind of cream for it... it went down a bit, but its still not completely gone... i mean its been a month... i reckon its prolly my food intake... last time i had an eczema attack (which was around 5 years ago... which was heat induced... my skin looked as if i had 3rd degree burns no joke)... i gave up taking seafood completely... and it went away within a few weeks...

so yesterday i went to visit the doctor again and now he's prescribed me another cream... one with higher steroid content... *gasp*... my sister who's doin her O Levels at the mo sed that the side effect of too much steroid is you'd develop man boobs... hahahaha ill slather it on my chect then next time... coooorrrrr... who needs boob jobs when you have steroids?

ohhhh and ive been gettin really bad breakouts round my neck area too... and asked the doctor for some meds for that too... ive switched facial products twice within the last couple of months... but its not gettin any better :( and because of my eczema i have to switch to the sensitive range as i dont want to aggravate the skin any further... uhukzzz...

i have a couple of functions to go to this weekend and the next... which i know will be heavily facebooked i.e. taking loads of pictures and uploaded on facebook... so pressure is definitely ON... booohoooo...

dear skin fairy,

please make me all better before this weekend, i never ask much from you, please help me out this one time OK! i promise i wont bitch (as much) bout the kristal kids idols next time...

much lurve always from your fan J'Z xoxo...

soooo now im cutting seafood our of my diet... and its super difficult laaaa... i dunno how i did it last time... nahhh how to go round Brunei reviewing all the fish and chippies now huh?!?!

especially tonight, the rents couldnt be bothered to cook dinner tonight so got food from the night market instead... whatd they bring me??? Soto laaaaa (i cant eat that since i dont take red meat)... Hati Buyah laaaa (same is the story innit)... Prawn Fritters laaaaa (uhukzzz im so sad i cant eat that)... Pari laaaaa....

torture innit!!! resorted to eat some kway teow instead... i cant wait till this is over...

City of Lights...

noreply@blogger.com (Jamieson) — Sun, 27 Jul 2008 13:45:00 +0000

enough talk about movie reviews... ive been BAD i know, for neglecting the site... what to do when you're super busy... or the opposite of... nothing to write about bah... not happening right now bah... i dunno why... k lets get down to some serious bloggin now :)

well anywhooo... some nights ago i made a lil visit, and dragged a couple of others to the padang in town... i dunno bout you... but I HAVE to go every year... the only time one month city of lights...

despite the crazy traffic... despite the lack of parking space... despite the fact that nothing changes year after year... i still have to go to checkzzz it outzzz...

like i said... nothing changes every year... for HM's birthday... the whole town is literally lit up with colourful cucul... i remember how my parents use to bring the whole family out for a midnight cruise down Jalan Tutong to check out the pretty lights... i likezzz... well the parents dont do that now... but nowadays im happy to just kidnap any helpless soul into my car with the moonroof open...

ok fine... it doesnt look like much here... hehehehe

but see how pwetty the 'small' ben clock looks like fully decorated... cute huh... btw... whos in charge of the clock? which department? how come it never tell the right time? and thers 4 clocks yeaaaa... ohhh and me perasan like im some sort of tourist going round B.town snapping pictures.. kewa-i or not?

every year without fail... you would find stalls selling the same 'ol crap... things that you dont need but people still buy them...

you would definitely find some crappie band playing on stage... no matter how crap they are, its still tolerable, as its just part of the ambience and environment of this whole gerai-padang thing

as GMan sed... during this perayaan thing, "org dari gua pun kluar"... so indeed i saw cave men frolicking about the place...

the thing bout this place is... before you go... just make sure your prepared to come back with your clothes smelling of food and smoke...

and if not once done... take more pics with all the colourful lights...

look how cute the i look with my ~~crown~~ tiara

and if you start to get bored after all that... you can try selling yourself to make a quick buck or two :)

Finally Watched It

noreply@blogger.com (Jamieson) — Sat, 26 Jul 2008 10:26:00 +0000

MOVIE SPOILER ALERT

if you've not watched the movie then i suggest you not to read this post :) ... i finally watched it... friends have been telling and texting me about the Sex And The City Movie that has finally been given the green light to be shown here in our cinemas... it started playing on thursday, and didnt exactly rush out to watch it straight away... of course itll be censored... how much of it i dunno... should i watch it on the big screen with it being edited or wait for the original DVD to come out?

i gave in finally... asked around and was told by ppl whos watched it here and abroad that the movie isnt heavily censored, the obvious was cut out but you can still make out the storyline innit... i watched it and after months of resisting to watch the not-so-original-not-so-clear version... and the two and half hour movie... dissapointed me...

dont get me wrong... i loved the clothes... the shoes... her eiffel tower bag... but the storyline... mmmm... i dunno what to say... yes it was like watching an extended version of an SATC episode... but the storyline i thought was unnecessary... i thought the movie ended how it started...

i didnt like how she went back to Big after all that... honestly... i never liked him to begin with...

its like all the characters in the movie kinda ended up with a sappy happy ending... carrie ended up with big (which was how the series ended)... charlotte got preggers (just like how she always wanted)... i guess the writers couldnt think of a storyline for miranda so they just gave him a cheating husband who she left and went back to again... and samatha left LA and smith...

thats just it la... i wasnt impressed with the storyline... i just thought it was just an excuse to make $ out of something that they know people will watch... BUT would i watch it again... WHY OF COURSE...

Where's the Mojo?

noreply@blogger.com (Jamieson) — Mon, 21 Jul 2008 01:05:00 +0000

No, ive not been lazy by not posting anything up lately... more like having one of those bloggers-block... i seriously cannot think of anything to write about as nothing terribly exciting has happened to me the past week...

Weekdays are filled with non exciting work stuff and a lil bit of yoga classes peppered during some nights, and the weekends... hmmmm well what is there to do here during weekends... no weekend is complete without making at least 2 visits to The Mall... sad huh...

Theres the ocassional visit to the cinema... ohhh speaking of which i watched Batman : The Dark Knight last week... im one of those who stays away from trailers or those special programmes on telly or those behind the scene programmes relating to movies... i'd rather go to the cinema not knowing what to expect and either be blown away or dissapointed by it... and i know with the release of The Dark Knight, so much emphasis was made on the tragic death of Heath Ledger, so much so till i didnt even know who else is starring in the movie...

BRILLIANT performance by the Joker... im not just saying it coz thats his last ever performance... but he did a really REALLY good job in portraying the character... such a terrible lost

ohhh the movie did have a few surprises which i didnt expect at all... well thats coz im not a huge comic book fan... im an ok ok fan only laaa... like i so didnt expect one of the comic book character to 'show up' half way through the movie... the movie was 2hrs 45mins... it felt a bit long... but the storyline was so packed that you could make two movies out of it... i mean they could have ended the movie after the 1st half and id be a happy with it... but it just kept on going and going and going... but it was good nonetheless... so good till i hear some ppl say its better than Hellboy 2 (which i have yet to watch) and i hear some ppl say that Hellboy 2 is better than Hancock (don't really want to watch this)

Speaking of movies, i still cannot believe that ive not watched SATC yet! i refuse to resortting to buy the pirated cinema DVD scattered everywhere in the country... maybe ill catch it when im in KL next month... the movie is only premiering in Malaysia this 31st July... and ill be in KL the 3rd week of August... ohhh anyone want to come along w me? free accom innit :p

ohhh and on the TV front... as you know i dont watch alot of cable TV... BUT Project Runway Season 5 just aired over at the States last week... and cant wait to start watching that now innit... other than that i dont think downloading-season has started yet... :p

wahhh for someone with bloggers-block, such can write huh... bah ill end it prematurely for now :p

Island Getaway

noreply@blogger.com (Jamieson) — Wed, 16 Jul 2008 02:28:00 +0000

I had such a great time yesterday... it was a public holiday innit... coz it was HM's Birthday!!! WooHooo... happy belated birthday!!! thanks for the holiday, so when's the partay??? hahaha... ohhh ohhh *classic* bah bila belanja?

i got invited to spend the day at 'half-a-turle-MAN island'... no judgement... ive never been... it was my *ahem* first time there *teehee*... we took the boat from the Empire Hotel, we left at 830 in the morning...

the island is (they say) approximately 45mins-ish boat ride from the hotel... and LAbuan is only 20 minutes away from the island!!! ohhh even though the island is part of another country... no passport needed...

i was hoping to top up my not so visible tan which i got on Sunday... but the weather that morning didnt look at all promising... it was raining when i left the house...

After 40+ minutes of water getting splashed onto my face from the boat ride... we finally made it to our destination!!! but before we got started with the day's agenda... we paid a lil visit to the island peeps... im surprised to find out that 300 villagers stay on the island... u know before we start playing on their backyards... being the courteous visitors we are of course have to say hello to them la... well not all 300+ of them... only the ones we saw la... mmm ok ok i didnt personally say hello to them la... i had my rep do it for me... i dont speak the native tongue u see :p ok FINE i know they speak malay too but i want to pretend that im some sort of exotic tourist who's fascinated by island so just took pics of the island peeps laaa...

lil village people... Y M C A~~~

the local cornershop

this aint just any normal hut... its where the villagers have their village meeting... cool huh... its like being on the show Survivor... and this is where they meet up for tribal council... who's going to be voted off this week??? i dunno... better stay tune and find out!!!

After that we did a lil bit of snorkeling just off the island...

i couldnt take pics of the nice fishes and corals we saw... coz the camera aint waterproof innit... and no i dont have those underwater camera equipment things either... but its bewtiful!!! I saw NEMO!!! and the water is soooo clear... i lurve it!!! at first i didnt want to go down from the boat to snorkel... coz malas bah to swim... but now im soooo glad i did... i dunno how long we were in the water for... but long enough to feel tired by the time we got back on the boat... ooohhh and in true Jamieson'Z style, no activity is complete without me getting cut or bruised in *teehee*...

i only realised i was bleeding when we were on the boat... and its a deep cut some more!!! think i might have cut myself from the corals i think... ohhh and i scraped 3 of my fingertips too!!! damn corals!!! ur bewtiful and alll but no need to be so sharp bah next time ok!

then after that we went back to the island for a lil barbie!!!

i lurve it when everything is prepared for you and u dont have to lift a finger... food was delish!!! if i wasnt that full... i would have eaten more... actually... yesterday was prolly the most ive ever eaten at a BBQ... no lie!!! it might not looked as if i ate much... but i did, serious... and there was so many different kinds of BBQ chix spoilt for choice!!! lurve it!

only then did we move on to get ourselves tanned properly... being all full, perfect time to just lie and sleep under the sun... but damnit! it drizzled when we wanted to get our tan innit!!! plus the sun wasnt completely out! the sun was super shy yesterday... wanted to hide behind clouds! hmpf...

nvm lor... we found this swing on the beach... and did a lil mariah carey photoshoot lahhh...

have i ever mentioned that i lurve the colour lime green??? cute huh?!?

only got a lil bit of sun when we were there... we left the place just after 3 that afternoon, we planned on going to another island and snorkel some more there... but the water was a bit rough so we just headed back to the Empire... the ride back felt as if it took longer then our journey to the island... maybe coz of the 'rough' sea the boat wasnt on full speed... and KNS... only when we headed back did the sun decide to come out!!! whatever lor... i tried to get the most out of it... sleeping on the way back under the sun on the boat laaa... and continued sunbathing when we reached Empire lohhh...

i had such a great time yesterday... i want to do it again! but im not so keen on the boat ride... maybe ill just do it at Angel Beach next time... again... looking at my colour now... im not as tanned as i want to be... i want to be more brown!!!

Horrendous...

my time on the road is significantly longer than most people, so i spend a great deal listening to radio... some radio DJ's i like... some i dont like... some i hate listening to at first but have grown to love them... i listen to Kristal FM mostly, its the most tolerable out of all the radio channels i think... but lately theyve been playing those damn Kristal Kids Idol!!!

whats that you ask? i dunno... a bunch of 8-12 year old i think... singing along to love songs, and asking people to vote for them via sms to become some bloddy Kristal Kids Idol!!! KIDS!!! give it a rest... you cant sing!!! and the songs you're singing along to is just not appropriate for your age OK!!! do you even know what you're singing to? an 8 year old 'singing' about her latest break up... WTF!!! (mind you kids nowadyas are starting young... put me to shame!!!)

it is VERY karaoke tho! i hate it! the minute they come on air... BAM i change the channel... or put on my own music... i tell you its prolly the parents idea to shove these kids into these singing competitions... parents who thinks sunshine burst out of their kids arsehole... these are the same parents i think who encourage their kids to audition for American Idol or some other talent reality tv shows... kids who cant bloddy sing to save their lives... but because these parents brought them up thinking they have talent... they go and audition thinking theyre going to get through only to be shot down by the judges and laughed at by the watching public...

american idol reject! he bangs he bangs~~

u just think to yourself... who are they trying to kid? is this a joke or do they seriously think they have talent!

So kristal kids idols wannabees... save yourself the embarassment... shut ur trap and stop singing... none of you have any talent in singing... and before any of you start bitching bout me coz maybe one of those kids is your daughter/niece/grandkids (im assuming theyre all girls, coz ive not come across any boy kid idol wannabee)... its TRUE! they cant sing!!! neither can i but i dont go round auditioning to become some ridiculous singing idol! i stick to what i know best... looking pretty!!! and i do it WELL!!! hahahaha

now start bitching bout me and make a hate website for me... steps on how to become famous... you're a nobody in the blogosphere until u have your own hatesite! if you cant find any juicy stories to put on the hatesite... just email me and ill supply you with all the details and maybe even pictures of me thats not meant to even see the light of day... if all else fails... just photoshop the pics of me u see on the site... hahahaha

'Picnic' @ the Beach

noreply@blogger.com (Jamieson) — Sun, 13 Jul 2008 11:55:00 +0000

i think one of the things that we Bruneians have plentiful of but take for granted is our beautiful sunny weather, ohhh and our clean beaches (ok so thats two things... but you'll see where im going in a minute)... so today i spent my Sunday chilling outzzz at the beach...

its been awhile since ive been to the beach to catch up on me tan... today we planned a lil picnic over at Tungku Beach... very quiet place... very nice!!!

Spikezzz, B and meself came a lil bit early (@130pm) so that we could maximise our time there and get our tan nice and golden crispy by the end of the day... we opted to have a picnic rather than a bbq at the beach to save time really... do u know how much effort goes into a bbq?... have to lug the bbq grill there, get the fire started, wait for the food to cook, once its cooked you have to fight with the rest for the food... picnic is better... bring the food over and eat on the spot lahhh... easy right? no hassle bah...

pot luck picnic, so we bought ourselves pizzas and few bottles of drink... we found nice spot with logs under the trees so we could have our lil picnic there... so nice lah under the shade too... very windy and not at all hot... what we didnt bring was a mat to sit on, and what we didnt expect was ants invading our food...

ants making a run with our pizza topping!

we resorted to leaving our food under the sun rather than the shade to get rid of the ants bah...

the gurls were spose to come at 2... but by 3 o'clock it was still the 3 of us baking ourselves under the sun... what to do till the rest come? what else can u do on the beach? build sand castle lahhhh... write our names in the sand loh... walk along the beach lah... camwhore some more lahhh... took loads of nice pictures but paiseh lah to show u all... but i reckon ANY picture taken on the beach always ALWAYS turn out fantastic... well the pics we took are very ANTM worthy... dont play play hor! hahahaha *if there ever was a good time to reach for a pail to puke in... now is the time* hahaha

preview only :p

GMan and SD-Mummy came not long after... 4ish me thinks... with Baby AH!!!... cutest baby ever!!! it was Baby AH first ever picnic at the beach hor... was it his first picnic ever? or his first visit to the beach?!?

ive not seen Baby AH for a while now... not since my runway disaster at the Mall when Baby AH came to cheer his Uncle Jamieson'Z... Baby AH was so well behaved huh (but very manja lah)! i think he likes the beach, not too hot right? very nice right?

we tried a lil fashion makeover on Baby AH... soooo cute lah this baby!

with Uncle Spikezzz hat...

with Uncle Spikezzz sunnies...

lets put him in one of those cute baby contest... for sure win lah!!!

by the time the rest came... we were ready to leave... what was spose to start at 2ish, became close to 5ish... by that time the sun's not as high up, what can u do but just wait for sunset lah...

i lurve the beach... i dunno why i dont come as often as i should... its a nice way to spend a relaxing Sunday wor... its so hassle free me thinks... just buy some food and drinks... next time just remember to bring a mat to lie on the beach... cooler with ice for the drinks... plastic cups... suntan lotion and ur done!!!

i need another beach session!!! looking at my colour now... im not tanned enough!!! *planning another one soon* hehehe
