Happy Silk Anniversary (4 years) to beloved Sze Sze jie jie and Rahim ko ko!

An anniversary is a time to celebrate the joys of today, the memories of yesterday, and the hopes of tomorrow ~ Author Unknown

Woke up at 5.45am yesterday and guess where am I going? I’m going to the field! We went to Bang Nalud, Tutong to check out three transect lines for small mammals project students, me being one of them. You must think that I must be sick of all the walking in the forest and getting all sweaty after the expedition. I myself think I’m crazy too. But guess what? I’m back in the field again in less than a week’s time and with the same people from the expedition!

In fact, the team from the expedition had met up three times already after coming back from the expedition! I seriously think that we are all so used to each other’s accompany during the expedition and had acquired an addiction to it. *hahaha…* We should be sick of seeing each other faces already by now but on the contrary, we miss each other’s company more than anything! Well at least that’s how I feel…

Went for Taekwondo training at Menglait Sports Complex last night after making a short stop home for a shower from fieldwork in Tutong earlier on. I miss training so much and had sparring sessions. Now I not only have mosquitoes and sandfly bites on my arms and legs but also blue-black marks from knocking bones! *hahaha...* Came home at about 10pm and I was so tired... Pengsan lah~ but it was a fun and productive day!

And tonight the team from the expedition will be meeting up again for Salwa’s farewell party at the residence of Dr. Joseph Charles. Salwa will be leaving Brunei very soon to Australia to continue her Masters. We will be missing you so much, especially when we go to the field!! Thank you for all your guidance and advices regarding small mammals work, I really appreciate it… *hugs*

Salwa and Syidah 'meng-e-teh' at Hasbullah, Tutong before fieldwork

P.S: I’m still working on the posts regarding the expedition k. Sorry. By the way miladies, I cut my bangs... And Laurence was like 'Macam Mongolian... Hahaha...' Does it look really cali?

Mongolian??

And I'm hitting the gym now... Bye peeps... Take care *mwuahz*

I can COOK!!

Hi everyone 大家好...

I apologize 对不起 for my missing in action (hehehe...) but I have a pretty good reason 原因 for it. I've been busy cooking appetizers 开胃食品 to breakfast 早餐 to lunch 午餐 to dinner 晚安 to desserts 甜品...from egg rolls to pancakes to teriyaki to spinach ravioli...(Yummy~~好好吃) And every one of the dish I cooked had been graded A! I've even taken the cooking exams! How cool is that? I never knew that I had it in me to cook such perfect dishes. Hahaha... I can imagine Hanie's and Meha's faces right now! They must be like : 'Banarkan anak ani??? Pandai tia karang ia masak!' Yes miladies! I can cook but only when I'm in the 'Cooking Academy'. This game 游戏 is SUPERB 超好玩的耶! It is so addictive and so cute~ I was playing it last night and without realizing, it was already 3am! *game freak* (hehehehe...) I know it's embarrassing but yes, I admit I cannot cook in the real world! *erm..hehe...*

Another game that I've been playing is 'Jojo's Fashion Show'. This is another SUPERB game! I played it through from the start until the end 重头到尾 without even quiting once! I just couldn't stop 不能停! (hahaha...) This game is so cool~ Categories of attire 服装 ranges from Winter 冬天 to Summer 夏天 to Racy to Modest to Business to Bridal to Hip-Hop and even Punk! You can also play dress up and change the features of the models and take pictures of them. These pictures will be saved in your documents! Cool eh? The other two game I told you about earlier ('Little Farm' and 'My Farm'), don't even download 不要下载 those! Horrible and not even a bit fun 一点都不好玩! I deleted it straight away!

Yesterday 昨天 was just one of the monotonous days in my not so exciting or adventurous life. Went to the gym 建身房 as usual and did 6.48km in an hour. Did weigh-lifting (leg extension and leg curl) for my elephant thighs 大象腿! Went up onto the FitStepII and was already panting before 10minutes of the workout! This equipment is perfect for climbers. It really works on stamina and the thigh muscles! I think I should use this equipment more often instead. (hehehe...)


Woke up at 12noon today and the first thing I did was cook 下厨! erm... in 'Cooking Academy' (hehehe...) Well until my mum 妈妈 came into my room and nagged me to stop playing. She wanted me to accompany her for lunch 午餐 and to do some shopping 诳街, more like chauffeuring her around Kiulap and Batu Satu (hahaha..) Went back home at about 4:30pm. I should have woken up earlier today so I can go to the gym. Oh well~ It was nice spending time with mum once in awhile.

My *ehem* picked me up at 6pm and we went for Taekwondo 跆拳道 training in Menglait Sports Complex. Usually we train in the hall of the female hostel in UBD every Tuesdays 星期二, Wednesdays 星期三 and Fridays 星期五, but since it's the long vacation so we only train once a week now. And my kicks are way off! *Waaaa...* Probably because it's been so long since the last training session. We did Poomsae 품새 1-8 (patterns) just now and my God, I can't remember most of the Poomsae! Haiyo! Well~ I'm not a fan of Poomsae anyways (hehehe...) I prefer doing kicking drills and sparring 겨루기! Woacha!!

At about 9pm, we finished our training. Then, we went to UBD Faculty of Science because the supplementary list is out! I was so nervous 好紧张哦! It was so creepy 恐怖 and dark 黑暗! Not even a single light was on and it's a moon-less night 没月亮. Not a single soul was there in the parking lot. Thank God we had the large headlights of the Ford Ranger! (hehehe...) He then accompany me to the foyer and I scanned through the list of registration numbers and can barely make out the numbers. Focusing my best on the list under B.Sc. Biological Science Year 3 over and over again and again and again....Wheeww....My registration number is not there! Yay!! But then it can only mean two things: either Pass or Fail... *shivers* I hope I can sleep tight tonight, I'm so worry 很担心 about my results. *sigh*

I guess I'll stop here. I missed gym today and I plan to make it up tomorrow (hehehe...) Take care all of you 大家保重...


Goodnight everyone 大家晚安...Sleep tight and sweet dreams...

P.S: Meha, beranak sendiri...I know you can do it! I'll be your obstetrician! (hahahahaha...) Lagi cute kalau babymu... Cute macam mamanya...(hehehehe....)

想你有时会缺氧，嘴角不自觉上扬。。。
