what i've been up to

I watched this movie a few days ago.


Dissapointed with it so I'm not surprised that it didnt end up on the big screen.

*Spoiler at the end*
I know that they were trying to portray the Walt Disney classic into a 21st century dimension but it just wouldnt work.
Her step mother/guardian asks her to do absolutely nonsense chores
and confiscates her phone when she fowls up.
Teenagers then might've done it but definitely not in the 21st century or the 20th for that matter.
There was dancing but it wasn't anything to wow about.
Only the first dance at the masquerade party was nice then rest was it was just blahh..

And back to the step mother/guardian...
her attitude wa so freaking annoying.
I actually felt like throwing something at the tv.
The huge disapointment was that nothing bad happened to her in the end except that she injured both her legs




As we all know Selena Gomez from Wizards of Waverly Place where she acts as a rebellious girl who disobeys her parents and breaks all rules.
So watching Another Cinderella Story where she's obedient and quiet took quite a while to adjust to.

HOWEVER,
I also did get to watch Bridge to Terabithia which I was surprised didn't end up on the big screen.
The graphic and acting was great but maybe its cause it too short or it was a kid's movie.



Some part of the movei didnt make sense but I loved the ending cause it was such a great and unexpected twist.

Usually kids movie would end in a happily ever after state.

I watched it the first time and I cried at the ending cause Leslie(the girl) died in the end and they were showing the process of the boy's unwilling to accept and hurt for the loss of his best friend. I watched it the second time and I still cried. I tried holding it in but I literally choked. LOL

That was how good the acting was! Macho guys might not like it so yea

Brunch @ Empire

I went to have brunch with my parents.
Fortunately two meals are free and we just need to pay for one
its quite an expensive buffet at BN$40 plus 10% service tax.


It's a very large area where you need to go down
two flight?? of escalators to get to the Atrium Cafe

At your table,you get to have a spectacular view looking out the large windows of
the pool and beaches of the Empire Hotel
(seems more like a resort than a hotel)

2 choices of appetizer

greens(fresh vegetables) and sushi

of course I chose sushi
It was extremely fresh

I've always watched my brother eating
oysters
So today is my first time trying
It was quite an interesting experience and takes a while to get used to
(just like raw salmon)

I proceeded with some Chicken Herbal soup
with some
bread pieces
spring onions
fried,dried onions
(I don't know why blogspot did not rotate the picture for me)


accompanied by chicken cubes and yellow bell pepper on a skewer
with sweet chilli sauce
in a wine glass


This I would have to say didn't taste as good as I expected
Is it octopus?? Not sure.

My main course
baked chicken pasta
grilled lamb in black paper sauce
veggies in tortilla wrap
pouched potato
chicken with cranbarry sauce
khailand
(again blogspot didnt upload the picture right for me)


I had some mini cakes for desert
sponge cake with raspberries
pandan with black berries
sprinkled golden dust on the chocolate

I was surprised to see an ice maker there
fortunately it wasnt loud
I forgot that you were supppose to
put the ingredients first THEN the ice
cendol
grass jelly
corn
ideal milk
red syrup

And what dessert is complete without some ice cream??
yam ice cream
chocolate syrup
rainbow sprinkles
Total meal time : 1 hour and 30 mins

last year's fad

i'm here today to talk about shuffling!!


No....not about ipod shuffle.

More on Melbourne shuffling.
Since everyone WAS so crazy about it, I thought I'd give it a try.

It was actually not bad but i advice girls with C cup and up, not to do it
(please don't be an idiot and asking me to explain it to you)
I think why its so popular cause its fun to shuffle
but watching it is sorta weird

so, ppl who don't try it, won't get it

Shuffling - to me - is like a new way to moon walk except its more of a
crab walk + alot of jumping
(crabs walk sideways if u didnt know that)
And of course, when there' a new fad...
merchants jump at it to suck money out of people

Such as the neon items like these
But spending RM$300-800 on a pair of pants that are just a
FAD
is just insanity
I know the designs are nice la and
the fact that they glow in the dark are also nice
but c'mon la....



I don't mind the neon bracelets
cause you might actually use them when there are
concerts or night festivals

But the pants??
RIDICULOUS!!
the most you'll use them is just for a few months, max 2 or 3 years


I'd rather use the money to buy me a mobile phone
or register for the broadband thingy and get a freaking free laptop.

you ready for halloween??

I thought..why should people only get to enjoy this sweet holiday??


So I got June prepared..
with her smiley gloves
and alien mask
i mean like..wha costume is complete without one??
xD
But sadly this alien had to say goodbye
so it entered its square looking space craft
and her last request was...
for me to close the lids
which sorta reminded me of...

This..
Happy Halloween Everybody!!

BGSS

thats stands for
Brunei Goverment Service Sucks

seriously man
i went to the clinic on Tuesday afternoon after my practs exam
but they couldnt do anything cause the counter was already closed
and you know what time they called me to come??

7.45am to 9.00am
THE HELL MAN!!!
and the place weas freaking empty

but anyway, i went there this morning
I reached there at 8am and the place was packed
Actually all I wanted to do was have my teeth cleaned
(I do brush my teeth. It was time from my check up anyway)

I waited until 9.30am and when it was finally my turn, the 'doctor' kept telling me that i have good oral hygiene and whatever.
like duhh~ i already know that.
And you know what she did??
All she did was do scaling for me which lasted for like 2 minutes and the nurse didnt even giveme freaking goggles to wear.
The fuck man.
Then after she was done, she called me that I could come for a check up NEXT YEAR.
she actually said NEXT YEAR
MY GOD!!
she's THAT FUCKING LAZY!!

I waited for one and a half an hour for you to do and tell me THAT??!?!!!

this is why you should

I just finished watching an episode of



on



It was about a couple who got a strange disease.
The guy was a white man and his spouse was a black woman.

Before the woman went into a coma, she had a hallucination about the guy's father telling her to stay away from his son and then he wanted to break his son's arm
House wanted to do a biopsy on the woman but the man wouldn't give consent.
He said to wait till he's in a coma then do the biopsy on him

but House wouldn't take no for an answer.
The man said
to stop giving him treatment so that he could get a coma faster
and
"i would die for her"
After a long debate, House realized something queer about their eyes and the hallucination of the girl about the guy's father.
Well, the couple's problem was a genetic defect and the reason that they both ironically have it is cause they're half brothers and sisters.

The girl went hysterical saying

"People always talk about how our eyes are so similar"

and

"I'm whiter than both my parents"

Of course the outcome after that needs no further explanation.

I don't know which sucks worst
The fact that the woman he loves is his half sister and its morally wrong to be together

or

the fact (in House's word) that he's been 'humping his sister'

oh i give up

new word : HOMOPHOBIA

  1. Homophobia is the fear or dislike of people who are lesbian, gay or bisexual.
  2. When this fear and dislike is directed at bisexual people, it's called biphobia.
  3. When people fear or dislike heterosexual people, it is called heterophobia.
  4. And when people fear or dislike transgender people, it is called transphobia.

Here are some ways these phobias can turn ugly:

  1. Calling a guy a "fag"
  2. Writing insults on the locker of a girl who the rumor mill says is bisexual
  3. Forcing a guy/girl to have sex with a girl/guy to prove he/she is not gay.
  4. Raping a girl who identifies as lesbian to "turn her" heterosexual.
  5. Stripping a transgender person to reveal that person's genitals and challenging their identity.
  6. Hitting or hurting someone because she or he is gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgender.

This type of behavior is

always wrong

No one has the right to hurt any person, either emotionally or physically. And no one should be discriminated against based on their race, gender, age, physical abilities--or their sexual orientation.

Why do we shout??

you yi tian yi ge zhi hui de jiao shou wen ta de xue sheng yi xia the wen ti :
"wei shen me ren sheng qi shi shuo hua yong han de?"

One day, a professor asked his students
"Why do we SHOUT instead of speak when we are ANGRY?"

suo you de xue sheng dou xiang le hen jiu, qi zhong you yi ge xue sheng suo :
yin wei wo men shang shi le " leng jing" suo yi wo men hui yong han de.

All the students thought for a while. One answered
"Because we lost our cool. That's why we SHOUT."

jiao shou you wen

"dan shi wei sen me bie ren jiu zai ni pang bian er yi, ni hai shi yong han de, nan dao bu neng xiao sheng de shuo ma? wei shen me zong shi tai yong han de?"

Asked the professor again,

"But the person is just right next to you, why can't we talk softly but have to SHOUT?"

ji hu suo you de xue sheng dou ci zui ba she de shuo le yi dui, dan she mei you yi ge da an shi rang jiao shou man yi de.


Everyone gave their opinions but none was accepted by the professor.

zui hou jiao shou jie shi shuo :

"dang liang ge ren sheng qi de shi hou, xin de ju li shi hen yuan de, er wei le yan gai dang zong de hu li shi dui fang neng gou ting jian, yu shi bin xu yong han de,

Lastly explained by the professor

"When we are ANGRY, our hearts drift apart. To mask the DISTANCE we felt, we instinctively SHOUT instead of speak so the other party can hear us."


dan shi zai han de tong shi ren hui geng sheng qi, geng sheng qi ju li jiu geng yuan, ju li geng yuan jiu you yao han geng da sheng........"


"But as we SHOUT, we get ANGRIER. And we felt we drift apart further. So we SHOUT even louder..."

jiao shou jie zhe ji zu shou :

"er dang liang ge ren xiang lian shi hui zen me yang ne? qing kwang gang hao xiang fan, bu dan bu hui yong han de, er cie shuo hua suo hen cing sheng xi hua, wei shen me?


The professor continued,
"It is the opposite when we are in love. Not only we do not shout, we whisper into each other ears. Why?"



yin wei ta men de xin hen jie jing, xin ju xin shi wen ji hu mei you ju li, suo yi xiang lian zong de liang ge ren tong chang shi er yu shu de shuo hua, dan shi xin zong de ai yi er geng shen, dao hou lai gen ben bu xu yao yan yu,

"This is because our hearts are very close, almost never apart. As our love deepen, we reach a state of communication where there is no need for words."

zi yong yen shen jiu ke yi juan qing, er cie shi xin ju xin zi wen zao yi jing mei you suo wei de ju li le...zui hou jiao shou zuo le yi ge jie lun

"We understand each other well enough just by exchanging look," concluded the professor.


"dang liang ge ren zheng chao shi, bu yao rang xin de ju li bian yuan, geng bu yao shuo bie rang xin ju li geng yuan de hua,

zi ran de guo le ji tian, deng yao xin de ju li yi jing bi jiao mei you na me yuan shi,

zai hao hao de shuo ba!!?

"Therefore, when we are arguing, DO NOT speak words that will make our hearts drift apart. WAIT a few days. When you feel your hearts are no longer far apart, pick up the conversation and continue from there."

scam??

i woke up at around 1.30 today
after taking me shower i just resumed studying then my phone's vibration went off

i thought it was just MS giving me a miss call but it was so long so i checked my phone's caller ID it was a house phone calling

I was reluctant to answer it cause it might be my past tuition teacher calling me to pay the extra $67 of tuition fees (i know.like wtf right??) lol. but I did in the end.

I waited for the person to speak first but he/she didnt.
After waiting about 5 seconds, I said the first hello.
(this is how we answer annonymous phone calls - taught by my dad)

This guy with a French accent asked if I was 'Maybelline'. It was a bit odd cause if do sign up for something it would be with my other name
(initially I thought it was an indian man - my tuition teacher)


then he said that he was calling from the Luxembourg cookie factory and that he was offering a job opportunity to the
most outstanding and brilliant student in Brunei
(chyea right.me getting 5As for my o levels is enough to make me faint) but being the blurr shyt state that i was in, I just said

"you must have the wrong number"

this guy then asked me again if I was Maybelline. I agreed then I asked
what kind of job was he offering
He said something about advertising (i can't freaking understand the accent) and he called me to consider it carefully cause it was a
25 year contract
and once i signed it I cant get out of it.

This person just went on and on about the 'most oustanding and brilliant student in brunei'.

He kept saying hold on and there was once I heard laughing.
Now I knew it was some prankster but I wanted to know who, maybe it was one of my friends.

I asked this person who was addressing me as 'Maybelline' to tell me my full name.
He told me to hold on for 2 minutes and he passed the phone to some ang mo guy to talk to me.

I remember his first sentence was


"I'm sorry,Maybelline. He's an idiot. I'm really sorry"

and he went on saying that this is an
incredible opportunity
cause it is only offered to the most outstanding and brilliant student brunei with some British accent.

I shot a question back at him


"Where did you get this info from?"

He said


"I got it from your school."

I said,


"And what IS my school?"

*click*
he hung up!!

LOL

This has certainly made my day interesting.
The call lasted for 3 mins and 43 seconds.lol.

And if anyone dares to call this number, 2262530 , please do tell me how the convo went xD

This whole thing made me remember what Cikgu Wan said
"orang yang senang takut,senang di tipu"

translation -
"those who get scared easily, get cheated easily"

personalize your coats

Vintage Chic
Sometimes less is more.
Take your coat back to a glamorous time by simply
shortening your coat's sleeves to three-quarters length
(cutting just below the elbows)
Pair with long vintage-inspired gloves
and a rhinestone brooch to complete your vintage look
tip : big sunglasses
______________________________________________________________
Warm and Fuzzy

Think mink! (Faux(fake), of course.)

Remove the fur from an old coat or buy new faux fur from the fabric store.

Measure and cut the fur to fit the collar and cuffs of your coat.

Sew or glue fur, and voila!

Your old coat is instantly more glamorous and warmer.
______________________________________________________________

Faux Silkscreen Style
Turn your mass- produced coat into a work of art with a silkscreen-style image.
Print out a high contrast image and transfer it to your coat
using the grid drawing method and washable chalk.
Then fill in the image with fabric paint.
______________________________________________________________
Rock the Coat
Take your coat from prim and proper to offbeat and hip with band pins.
Attach a ton of them to create a graphic texture that shows off your unique taste in music.
Coordinate the pin's colour with your coat and it'll look like they're meant to be together, kind of like your favorite band...
______________________________________________________________
Retro Splash

Give your old coat an outrageous 80's retro look with splashes of fabric paint.

Use multiple contrasting colors for a highly graphic look,

or muted colors for a subtle textured look.
______________________________________________________________

Crystals
Forget diamonds, these glue-on crystals are where it's at.
Simply glue these tiny clear plastic faux-diamonds
to your collar or anywhere u like to make your coat sparkle.
______________________________________________________________
Applique Patches
Embroidered iron-on appliques come in all shapes and sizes,
from roses to butterflies to skulls and crossbones.
Find an applique that suits your style and personalize your coat.
______________________________________________________________
In Stitches

You don't have to be a tailor to create

a simple running stitch with a needle and embroidery thread.

First, sketch your design on your coat with washable chalk.

Then stitch on your one-of-a-kind embroidered design. ______________________________________________________________

Rhinestone Fleur de Lis

These beautiful rhinestone fleur de lis

can be attached anywhere on your coat

to add a touch of sophistication and sparkle.

You can even pair them together to create new shapes.
