When in KL.

During the holidays i had fun, we had fun. Of course you lovely ladies and gents know that i went to KL again (the other time in March) last December, as we usually do every year. And every year, coming back from KL i always brought something with me, other than shoes, shirts and a pair of designer jeans and that is knowledge, take 2 years ago for instance i mastered learned the fine art of making chocolates. This time around it was different, i kept telling myself that im not going home empty handed. Empty handed not in it's literal sense like going home without designer jeans and a pair of shoes or a truckload of books but as in  memories, i don't want to leave KL without a slight memory of my experience there. But then again the experiences are mine to keep, but im not leaving you with nothing cause im sure you're dying to know what happened when i was there. Without further ado i present to you


Day 1: Woke up bright and early and took a train to Bukit Bintang, im not really a fan of that place but they do have great shopping. I bought 2 pair of jeans from PDI and 2 shirts from FOS and we had lunch at Subway. After we're all fed and energized i made my way to MPH bookstore where i bought one of Sophie Kinsella's masterpiece, i was looking for Bill Bryson's book but they didn't have the one that im looking for. 


Day 2: Went to Sunway lagoon, we asked the driver to drive us bright and early to escape the crowd but alas there were people who came earlier than us. Im convinced that they actually camp there. After that we had lunch in KFC. That night, after a couple hours of rest i headed down to meet my parents, we're going to Bukit Bintang again cause my brother decided to be a brat and forced my parents to buy him a toy helicopter. I got myself a watch too.


Day 3: Went to Midvalley and went straight to MPH, i didn't get the book i wanted but instead i bought Stpehen Clarke's hilarious books, guess what? it's all about Paris~ after that i bought a cardigan and a hoodie. Went back to the hotel, worn out so i stayed in and read my book.


Day 4: Went to KLCC via train. It was nice but i didn't get to buy anything since the price tags would literally empty my wallet and rip the shirt off my back in exchage with a fedora. That night i went down for a stroll down at the Saturday bazaar, didn't get anything. 


If you made it this far, then you truly are a trooper kudos to you and here's a medal for you for making it this far. 

Day 5: We made it to Berjaya times square, via train. If i wasn't as broke as i am right now back then i would have probably collected every shirt in every store. There were sales everywhere, shoes galore, jeans, enough to last a lifetime. But in the end i bought a shirt, which im madly in love with and a pair of Supra! yeah a high top Supra.


And that ladies and gentleman concludes today's show and tell. I love KL, it never fail to make me richer and dry out all my allowances in a week time. I hope i get to do it again next year and till then, im out.

Not my usual self.

It's Tuesday, the day i dread the most because there is no PS today. Which means i have to sit through all my classes from 7.45 until 12.05. But today's different,  I skipped EAS, why? because i was sick. Yeah this morning i woke up and i was as healthy as a monkey could ever talk. I wasn't feeling well and my left ear is temporarily deaf, I was dragging my ass along the hallways of MD, feeling like i was dying. Not really, just wanted to add that pinch of drama in that statement.But yeah it was tough.

Anyway, so this afternoon i went to the hospital with my brother, the doctor told me that there's nothing wrong with my ears, it's just because of a flu. Yeah the exam flu finally 'dawned upon me'. But yeah it's all good, im fine. Feeling a tad bit weird. I don't really know how to describe what im feeling right now, physically. My ears are getting worse, maybe it's because of the ointment or maybe my flu is getting worse, but the doctor said that it's just a normal flu. Funny thing is they gave me an m.c for today and not for tomorrow, i went to school today, what's the point of giving my m.c. to my teacher if im in school?

Im going to sleep now, i need all the rest i can get. I hope everything is going to be okay in the morning. I have a feeling that tomorrow's gonna be a good day. Maybe it's the games that we're going to play in psychology or maybe something else. But yeah, pray for me my non-existent readers. I love you. No, really i do.

Happy belated birthday bro.

This is the second post of the day. This is what happens when im obsessed with blogging, i blog twice a day, i blog like it's my medicine. Frankly, i only blogged because there's actually something that is worth blogging about. I just got home around 20 mins ago, I was going out with the family as usual. We ate out tonight, we ate at coffee zone in Kiulap. Tonight's actually sort of special..we were celebrating our brother's birthday..a month late. I know since on his birthday a big tragedy hit our family, on that day, my grandfather, Haji Najib bin Mohiddin passed away, piece be upon him. We were saddened by the loss. So we had to cancel everything for my brother's birthday and so, now, a month later, we celebrated his16th birthday. Unfortunately we didn't have cake, i wanted cake! :( I've been nagging about having cake since the last time i had one, which was..sometime long ago. Ok im going now, not that you care. Well no, i know you cared. I need to finish my EAS homework which has been pending since the last 2 weeks or so and now my printer can't be installed in my laptop cause i lost the CD. Great, just great. Okay bye now.

Sunday, October 31st.

For the lack of better title to put up as my heading, i decided to just put up today's date. Apart from that, the date has a universal significance, it's Halloween! Not that we're celebrating it or anything. I just thought that it's cool to be reminded that somewhere in this little blue planet we call earth, people are dressing up in cool costumes and giving out free candies to trick-or-treaters! Wouldn't it be fun to celebrate it? dressing up, free candies..slutty pumpkin. :p haha.

But anyways, what im really here to blog about is to tell you what happened to me yesterday, the interesting bits that is. That afternoon, after we had psychology, me, Miza, Sharull, Muizz and Azri went to Katok. Yes im talking about the school not the place. It was fun, i finally got to meet my long time best friend/partner in crime, Halimin. It was great to see him in his 'natural habitat' :p lol. I got an instant tour of the school, it was great, Katok is seriously awesome, it's huge unfortunately it's scorching hot. I also saw Dirah and her friends. It was great.

I think that's the most interesting part of my day, the rest is just the usual, nothing out of the ordinary. Something interesting did happen to me during PS, but that' for me and my friends to know. Oh and before i forget, i have something interesting to tell you guys that will blow your minds away, i finally master the art of playing big 2. Im not kidding, i do.

In the spirits of Halloween, i want to leave you guys with something that is related to this occasion, something more close to home. Enjoy. On second thought, never mind.

Mango tea.

 To my non-existent readers, im sorry for not updating my blog in the longest time, im just lazy right now and in addition to that i have my exams. It's self-explanatory.

 A lot of things happened to me since the last time I blogged. Life has treated me well..so far. I really do not know what to say right now. I only updated this blog because I was urged by my friends in school, so here you go guys, im here! updating! chilling!

 So if you guys haven't heard yet, im currently dating someone right now, it's great, she's great. Im not going to tell you who it is but im sure you have the slightest idea on who it is. We started to date last..September? We're not official yet. I don't want to rush into things just yet, im still young i have my whole life to figure things out, i still have a long way to go and be in a relationship so why bother doing it now. But yeah someday i'll ask her to be my girl. But not now, atleast not yet. I don't want to sound all giggly and head over heels, but one thing for sure is that being with her makes me feel all gooey and tingly in the inside, she always manage to make me smile like a doof. Everybody deserves a doofer. In my dictionary, a doofer means someone who makes you look like a doofus, in a positive way. Okay enough with this whole 'im head over heels for this girl i met in school' im going to go now.

Short update.

Haven't been updating practically anything. I've been so busy lately that i can't even find time to just sit down and blog. My life has been so interesting. yet i haven't been able to blog to you guys about my adventures. Sucks i know. I'll try to blog everything starting from the day i went to Miri or the day after that. I hope i still remember.

It's ramadhan.

Hello you guys.

It's been a while since i've blogged. Today is the first day of the holy month, Ramadhan which means it's the first day of the fasting season. It's been exactly a year since we last left Ramadhan and a lot have happened since then. It's the time of year where all Muslims are required to fast and refrain ourselves from doing such bad deeds. It's where families gather round to share food and blessings and it's also the time to remember that there are people out there that is much more less fortunate than us. 

 Most importantly, It's that time again where all your small little deeds gets rewarded big time by Allah swt. So i want to try my best to do the following things:

• Be productive, help with chores around the house.
• Refrain myself from doing bad things or tell bad jokes that sometimes revolves around sexual innuendos.
• Lessen my 'networking' time with my friends, what i mean by that is minimize my gossip time with my friends and instead talk about something more positive.
• Perform the terawikh (sp?) prayer every night.

Those are the few things i want to remind my self, the important ones that is. Other than that, is the secret i keep to myself.

To all Muslims, happy fasting everyone, i hope you all are blessed with happiness and joy in this time of year. Puasa jangan karang kedapatan inda puasa minum aing di kamar mandi. haha okay till then.

My birthday.

Hello.

Today is definitely worth blogging about. Why? it's my birthday of course. I can't seem to find the cable for my camera. So, no pictures. Will try to upload them soon, right after i found the cable for my camera. So happy birthday to me. Im officially 18.

Bowling tournament.

Thursday,

Today was a great day. It's the first bowling tournament for the MDPMAMB bowling club batch 2010/2011. The day couldn't have been any better, to add to the excitement, i was the runner up for the 2010 bowling tournament. It was a great achievement, i love bowling since the first time i played it a while ago, i was never really involved in the sport until this year. It's a great year for me i guess, who knew i'd be that good of a bowler. Like i mentioned before, i won 2nd place, out of the 20 something players i was the first runner up. Spectacular really. Is it pure talent or pure luck? I'll leave you with that for now. Till then. tata.

Butterflies fly away.

  Hello guys. Just a quick update for you readers. We're planning to go to the cemetary tomorrow, visiting my late grandma who passed away on the last day of school holiday. 20/6/2010. Al-fatihah. Nini Chuchu, You will forever be in our hearts and in everything we do and constantly in our mind. You are greatly missed.

 Bye.

Mr Sour Puss.

The day didn't start so well for me today. I woke up at the wrong side of the bed this morning, I was uber bitchy and i literally bitched everybody. I was the biggest bitch i know. But i know that im not a bad person, im just a normal one, today i had a bad day. Period.

 On a more happier note, this afternoon we went bowling as usual and let me tell you this, i scored pretty good, 123 to be exact, i don't know if that's what you consider a good score but i think i did pretty well. I am currently in Kampung, sleepover as usual. And yes, Italy lost the game against Slovakia. Tough luck, i was rooting for them, heck my whole family was rooting for them. Well that's that.

I know at some point in my life i really wondered what does cloud tastes like.

Confessions.

Since i was a kid i was never a very self-conscious person, i live by my rules and i am very confident. Ironically,  I've never really known what confidence really is, the ability to speak in public? being able to be yourself and not afraid of showing it?. We all have our own ideas of what it is. I live a carefree life, or atleast i like to believe that i am. These are few of the things that i usually and constantly think about everyday and i think it's starting to affect my brain, lol.

But anyways, what i really want to talk about is my body. Like i mentioned before i was never self-conscious of myself and that includes my body, i was a skinny kid, scrawny kid and that doesn't bother me then i grew fatter surprisingly i took it in a positive way, i was getting hold of my body and i am very confident with what i have/had. I still remember this one girl said to me that i was fat, and i gladly replied "Yes i am and your dumb, im guessing it's genetics, send my regards to your mum" or somewhere along those lines. I use to say things as it is, i never really cared who'd be listening. I was what you would call 'a bitch'. Then when i was in form 2, puberty kicks in and i grew tall, and skinny. That made me a bigger bitch, but i wasn't those kind of bitches that you would usually see on tv, i don't provoke people im the type that would bust your balls if you provoke me. Yeah im that kind. Although i was a huge bully since i was a kid but that's another story. Along came form 5, by then i wasn't the kind that would walk through the rain and smile like a bitch, no, i became insecure. Yes what you read is correct and i guarantee you that it's me who wrote this. You might find it surprising unless you're really close to me then you know that such a thing as insecurity would ever hit me. Would it be appropriate if i say i was a good actor? Yeah that's how i hide it.

You know what got me through all this? Good friends, family support, a whole lot of tears and DVD's. Yes these are the things that made me who i am today, cheesy, i know. But hey this is my blog and i decide what's cheesy around here. lol. Frankly, without them i might just possibly be a bitter piece and i wouldn't wear colorful socks to school or carry around a ridiculous fluorescent orange bag. Yeah that's pretty much late. Wow it took me forever and an hour to write this. But i guess it's worth it.

Hello guys!

I know i haven't been updating my blog for awhile eventhough i said in my previous post that i will. Rest assure that i am guilty. It's not that i've been busy or anything, it's just that i'm lazy. I wouldn't want to rant or anything like that in this post. Im just updating you guys on what happened to me this past few days.

On the 12th of June was the first day of the leadership course in PTE Meragang. I was fairly excited about it. It's a four day course, it ended at 4.30 on the 16th. It was organized by our fellow form sixers from Meragang, with the help from the Royal Brunei arm forces, RBAF for short and OGDC. I had heaps of fun with my friends along with my new friends from Meragang. The first day, let me tell you was tiring, we are trained like the soldiers are. We had to do drills and stuff like that but it was very enjoyable. The second day, our activities were organized by OGDC, tons of stuff happened. The games gets more interesting and the challenges are tougher, team building and such. I would probably lose you if i was to type longer than i should so i' just going to post pictures. Like they say, pictures worth a thousand words, whoever coined that is a genius in my book.

Sorry if the pictures unorganized, I need to finish my homework. Oh did i tell you that Meragang is a beautiful school. Well honey it is.

Oh wow, apparently i forgot to sign out. Imagine the damage that will cause me. Today was fun, 3rd day in Dirah's place. We finally went out, well we went out the first night, anyway as i was saying, we all went to the mall this afternoon. It's fun i guess, it beats staying at home sitting on our asses. We didn't watch movies or anything like that, we just walked around eat stuff and went home at around 4-ish. Well yeah i guess that's it. Nothing more to blog about. So that's all it's a short update.

Oh wait, did i mention to you that i didn't come to the bowling alley this afternoon? Yeah it's decided i guess that im not attending. I hope their not mad. Sorry guys, tomorrow is my brotha from anotha motha and fatha's birthday okay that was lame, remind me next time that im not a gangsta. Anyways tomorrow is Halimin's birthday, i wish i can do something special, but im not sure how. I should've planned early and send him a gift via mail! hahahah that would be hilarious, what the hell Mahyuddin? This isn't the 16th century. okay i should stop making fun of the postal industry something something something.

So what should i do guys? I have few more hours until his birthday. I need ideas stat.

Should I?

Hello guys! currently at my cousins house. We're having a sleepover. it's all in the days worth. I had this sudden urge to just update my blog and this keyboard is just oh so fun to use. Maybe it's the sound it makes, and it sure is exciting to type with. It makes me feel like im working in an office or something. If your wondering, no im not using a laptop im using her pc. It's just beyond cool. Maybe i should stop raving about how great her keyboard is, it's not like im selling it or anything.

Moving to a more exciting story. Although exciting is a relative term. Anyways this Monday im going bowling with my friends and a special someone, well atleast i think she's special to me. It's going to be exciting, but im having doubts whether i should come or not. I mean the holidays just started im going to have tons more of this sleepover, but at the same time i can play bowling some other time or something. But im just so excited. What should i do? should i cancel on my friends and stay another night or should i go home this afternoon and well play bowling tomorrow. Or maybe i can go to the bowling alley straight from here. That sounds like a plan doesn't it? Oh shoot tough luck, i forgot to bring my wallet, i should have. Damnit! no wonder my instinct kept telling me to bring my wallet.

 Well then, we'll see what we can do. I hate to go home but i hate to cancel on her too. FYI i don't really hate going home it's just that sleeping over for one day is just, boring? plus it hasn't been one day. Atleast not until 5.30pm. What time is it anyways? maybe i should go. Bye now!

Sorry. I don't take leftovers.

Your probably wondering what happened to me since the last time i blogged. Today was awesome! I went to watch Prince of Persia with Limin! yeaaah bro! heart you man! it was fun.

Okay I'll talk to you about that maybe on my next post. Now i want to let this out. I guess the best way to express how I feel about this situation is by dumping it on this blog. Okay this is what happens. Frankly im feeling frisky tonight. So yeah, bear with me, im a total bitch! 

Anyways today as i mentioned i met my best buddy/brother so i told him what has been bugging me for quiet some time. He concluded that maybe being in form 6 made me weak. Why? well i use to not care what they say or do, i would usually pursue what i want and will not stop until i get it. So yeah basically im talking about this dude, he;s a douche, a big one. So yeah he likes this girl that i like, well guess what "Douche", you can have her, i don't give a shit about this situation. I don't take people's leftover, i know your kind, your the type of dude that hops from one relationship to another. Like i said before take your slut back, feast on it or whatever that is you do with girls. I will try my hardest to ignore this shit and walk through this storm, with the help of my family and friends. I have too much pride to change for someone who might not like me back.

Thanks Limin for the advice and making me realize who i really am. Your awesome mahn!

Colors of the soul.

Hey guys, just another short update. Last Tuesday, me Nona, Sher, Zainol and Ka Iqah went out. We watched When in Rome, gosh. the movie was awesome. You just have to watch it, it's so cute, funny like totally lawa lah! hahaha i give it a 9/10. That's big, it's really hillarious i tell you and that movie made me go AWWWW!! ahaha okay i think im done. Oh and yeah nevermind.

Hello my dearest lovelies, just a short update. Life in MD has been great so far. I hope it will stay like this until i finished my A-levels next year. Anyways i wanted to tell you guys about this uber funny comedian, his name is Russell Peters, although you might find his jokes a bit racist but nevertheless it's very enjoyable to watch him in action. 

This is one of his many videos and the first video that i watched. Enjoy.
 

I assume you've watched the video. Credits to Kaka Iqah for introducing me to him. 

Okay i have to go now, wish me luck for my psychology test tomorrow and not to forget my sociology test which is on Monday Oh and choir too, which is tomorrow.

Bye lovelies!

other stuff and Mahyuddin reads #2

Hey! this is the 6th attempt to update my blog, i hope this time there are no distractions. Moving on, do you remember the last update? I told you that i'll update my blog every single day in KL, guess what? there is no internet in KL. the fudge!!

 But since that happened like ages ago so im not going yo update much on that, but i'm just going to tell you what i did there, on the first day we spent the entire day in sogo, the second day we went to Nilai and straight to the Zoo right after, the third day we went to Sunway lagoon then we went to Ikea, damn i've never seen that much furniture in my whole life and then that night we went to this place, it's called Rosdet or something like that, it's in Kampung Baru and it only opens at night, damn it! i miss that place. Anyways if you go there you must get the tom yam merah! it's their specialty i think well their main specialty is basically tom yam! and some other stuff lah! you just have to visit that place to get the taste! it's seriously nyamaan! hahaa okay the next day we went to Genting highlands, it was awesome we even went to snow world where they have real snow and not to forget we went to KLCC! that place was awesome! enough said. Sadly i only manage to get 2 books, but nevertheless it was awesome, i bought the last song and the lovely bones. Currently stuck with the last song.

 

The last song by Nicholas Sparks

    The lovely bones by Alice Sebold

 You might be thinking that i bought the last sing because of Miley Cyrus, well guess what i didn't. I have been wanting to read Nicholas Sparks work for a long time now, so it's like a dream come true reading his latest book. And i bought the lovely bones because i saw from the time traveler's wife that it's an excellent book so i bought it. Instead of buying these books from MPH like i use to, i went to Borders instead.

 Okay that's it i think, and im thinking of putting blogging as one of my priority so i might put it in my schedule so that i can update them everyday. Just a thought though. Okay i should press the publish button before i get distracted again.

I'm cool like that #1

 Miri, 19/3/10. 4:29pm.

Im currently sitting at the airport in Miri, waiting for my flight which is at 9 later and it's currently 4.30. Yes i know it's early, well we need to be here early cause my cousins flight is going to be at 6:40. Im using Starbucks wireless, which is the only one that doesn't require a password. I just can't wait to be in KL. I know for sure that i'll be tired once we arrived there, but it'll be worth it eventhough i know for a fact that we're going to be there around 1 or maybe even 2. It's typical with AirAsia really, they always have a delay. ALWAYS! I think that's it, there's not really much to talk about. I would upload the photos of our road trip from Brunei to Miri unfortunately i didn't bring the cable for the camera. :(

I think i'll be updating my blog everyday since it's the holidays.  Hopefully i manage to do just that in KL cause i want something to be like an online travel journal or something like that.

Miri, 4:48pm
Mahyuddin.

Blue stripes and foam fingers.

Today i had my first debate experience and let me just tell you this, i did horribly terrible!! like really really bad that I am most likely to be socially dead. Right after that experience my mood instantly went from happy to depressed. Like my gosh I was THAT affected by the whole experience, i was not in the mood to talk and be friendly. I can't even concentrate in class. Like damn it.
 
 I dream of making it in college but as of this day i just don't see myself studying there for 2 years. Im not thinking of quitting school or anything it's just that i feel like i have no purpose at all, i'ts like im not as excited to go to school like im use to. We all would agree on one thing when it comes to school and that is definitely not to study. Well study would come second next to socializing with your friends. Im not being negative but im just expressing how i felt at the moment with all this college stuff. Holiday is less than 48 hours, and i am so indescribably happy. I'm looking forward to this. It's going to be fun, late nights and DVD's! woo! well im more excited to go to KL actually, cause on the first day of school holiday which is on the 19th I will be flying straight to Kuala Lumpur, although i haven't pack any of my stuff yet, will do so after i finish my sociology homework which i have no idea at all on what to write. Seriously i was not even in class half of the time due to debate.

 Oh before i forgot, in case any of you readers are wondering how did my interview went with the public relation prefect went, well i wouldn't want you to waste a few seconds of your life to tell you how terrible it went, but let me just say this, it was fun at first- then from those lips came this few simple words, carefully structured and are well said that totally brought my mood down. Damn it. I just realize being in college made me weak, people's words don't usually bring me down, they fire my desire to be the best.

 But I am determined that, as of this day i will forget all those nasty things that happened to me this past few weeks of college and start getting my head in the game and concentrate on what matters the most. Now!? only now that im motivated to go to school..what a joke, and tomorrow is the last day of school. Perfect timing. I hope i still have determination to move up, up and up and up and up and up and away (lol) after the school reopens cause i need my confidence back.

Yours cheesily,
Mahyuddin.

Hey guys!

 So i've been busy with college stuff, long gone the days of high school where you can just sit around and do nothing. It's really tiring. But im not here to tell you how college is completely different from high school cause im sure you've either heard them from someone else or you've been through the experience yourself.

 Today we had a barbecue at Muara beach, to sum it all up in one word, i would have to say it was FUN! Well it was, i love the beach. I feel free when im at the beach, it's one of the many favorite places i love to visit here in Brunei.  We celebrated Fatin's birthday today so that's why we went to the beach in the first place. We also invented this game, it's a mixture of rugby and basketball AND football. I'll teach you how to play when we get the chance okay? haha it's great fun, trust me. Okay im tired of typing just enjoy some if the pictures i took. okay? Like they say A pictures worth a thousand words.

Paperclips and shattered glass.

Hey guys.

Okay so today school kinda sucks. Damn it's like SOAS all over again. Before i go on with my ramblings and shit talking i would like to clear out what i said before cause i don't want any confusion that could lead to my social destruction. I, Md Mahyuddin said that MD does not suck but it's what happened to me today does. I guess today is like one of those days, biasalah bad day!

 First off, yesterday i wanted to volunteer for the speech for the closing ceremony of our orientation which is today unfortunately i didn't get the chance to do just that. Because i didn't prepare any speech. So watching someone else do the speech i wonder to myself will I make a name for myself here in MD? Will i shine or will I be shunned? But yeah. Secondly, i went to the debate society meeting today during lunchtime, and at that time i was hungry. But since im determined to get into the team that i ignored it. Then we watched the debaters do their thaang, after that the teacher said that she needs an immediate debaters for the upcoming competition, I want to take that responsibility. Unfortunately i didn't get picked by the other debaters. Yes it's the debaters that holds the cards, not the teacher, but the debaters. I was a bit bummed when i knew that the teacher has no say for who is going or who is not for the competition. She didn't even test me for the part. But yeah whatever that is in the past stays in the past, i just gotta keep moving forward.

 On a more happier note, today i supported the world kidney day in Maktab Duli. It's a campaign done by the health awareness club. We have to wear those little green ribbons on our shirt. aaah~ i feel so special cause i helped. There's a few BE's and some AE's that approached me asking about the ribbon, so i explained to them and thank god that i know a little about this whole kidney day. So eventhough i didn't donate anything i still am proud because i, although in a weird way helped to spread the message about world kidney day. 

And the above title has nothing to do with this article, it's just a title. Or is it? metaphor!!

Hey guys, i have been busy this past few days with school and all. It;s really tiring man, that's why i haven't update this blog of mine for quiet a while. Im still adjusting with the new surrounding, the people and of course the classes. Everything is so mixed up. I have made a few friends, well actually i just talk to a few people so we're not friends yet. I don't like to be negative and all but sometimes i feel lonely if there is no classes, most of my friends goes to ptek now and those that goes to MD are seriously hard to find. I like being surrounded by people, it helps me develop myself and grow into a great individual. But i like to see the glass half full so im giving MD a chance, after all it's just a few days, we haven't finish our orientation yet. So yeah basically im staying positive about this making friends business. So yeah im staying hopeful and be myself. Sunshine, rainbows and the whole nine yards!

 I haven't yet decide on what to take for my CCA's and tomorrow there's this debate thing going on, which i will be attending, hopefully. I passed on the opportunity of volunteering myself for the speech for tomorrow. Which is a bucketload of crap. So yeah hopefully i will be able to come. And HOPEFULLY i could make it in the team.

 I don't have any pictures to share with you guys. Sorry about that. Maybe some other time. okay?

Saranghae MD!

Hello guys!

 On Saturday was the first day of orientation for Maktab Duli PMAMB. The moment i stepped on the pavements of that school i carry with me my bags with stuff in it and a dream, a dream to succeed. I wonder to myself who will i meet, who will i talk to, will i make friends. I can't even think about food! dammit! So yeah but when i was on my way to the auditorium i saw Shazry, i was relieved when i see him, never been so in my entire life. So when the orientation started and i walked into the auditorium it was already crowded, i was on my own. When i reached the BE15/16 isle it was full except for a few chairs unoccupied in the girls section of the isle. To shortened the story i got a seat.

 And i sat next to this dude, was nice. The orientation bores me like seriously, my buttocks hurt, oh how glad i am that i have some junk in the trunk. Some parts of the orientation was fun like the slideshows, the choir performance. Other than that, it was just a pain in the arse, literally!! And to add to this pile of miseries, not really. I broke my name tag, like gosh cemana kan fix it, it;s already late. Bughasdfblksabfe

Tomorrow is the second day of orientation, i hope it's a good one. Oh before i went home on Saturday i met this dude, he's a friend of Nona's. haha fun talking to him, his name is Sherbini.

After the orientation, that night I went Bowling with my cousin, we had fun. And apparently Najib was there, how come i didn't see ah? hahaha but yeah. Although that gave me an idea, lets just say that if we had a reunion with our ex-classmates 5A1, Bowling would be a good thing to do, it's fun and its done indoors. Two of the many things i like.

 Saranghae MD! wooot spirited banar!

Okay everybody smile on the count of three. 1..2..3..SMILE!!

Matuka tepurok!

Hey!

Nothing exciting happened today. I stayed at home with Kaka Iqah, she slept over here last night. My grandmum isn't home so we have to take care of our grandad that is why  she selpt over here in the first place. So yeah basically the whole day we just sat around in the living room with our own laptops watching the nanny. Then i was so bloody sleepy i just can't keep my eyes open. I can barely see anything, it was all a blur. If i hadn't slept that morning i'd probably be in the hospital due to exhaustion and sleep deprivation. But nonetheless i slept throughout the morning and woke up just in time for lunch. Then Babu called Kaka to pick her up so she went to pick her up, when she left i head back upstairs cause my grandmum was home so i don't need to worry about my grandad. Then i heard Kaka Iqah screaming like the house was on fire, i ran out and she was squealing something about a car.

 She was like "Tolong tolong!!! matuka ku tapuruk ka lungkang" well she didn't exactly say that. It's something like that. So when i looked out i was laughing so hard on the inside but i try not to show them cause my grandmum looked so worried. It was funny looking at her car stuck in the drain. hahaha it still made me giggle till now.  There were nobody around except for me my grandmum and my currently sick grandad so it's up to me and Kaka. The with a little bit of magic here and there baa-da-bing! the car is out of the gutter. The day is save thanks to me, Kaka and my grandmum.

So yeah then around 3:30pm Kaka called offering me to go bowling, again. Then we went bowling but didn't get to play, for the 2nd time in a row. They say there's a friggin tournament held around 7 or so, we arrived at friggin 4:45pm. The owner of Utama bowling knows nothing about profit maximisation or even how to run a profitable business. Although Utama bowling is monopolizing the bowling scene here in Brunei.

Well whadayaknow my day didn't turn out so bad after all.

With Love.

Do you see what i see?

Movies, Folder and so much more.

Monday. 1/3/10

Hey!

Today was fun. I went out with Kaka Iqah for movies. She picked me up around 10:30. We went to SRPM first to drop off the file my aunt asked her to bring. Then straight to UBD then off to the mall right after. Upon arriving, we went to the cineplex to get tickets then after that we went to Mister Pizza to feast on the worst chicken pizza ever! Trust me when i say that.

Anyways, we watched Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The lightning thief.  It's a film adaptation of the book written by Rick Riordan called the lightning thief. This movie was directed by Chris Columbus the director of Harry Potter.  It was a good movie. I'd give it 8 stars. I adore the visual effect, it was superb. It's like you can't see that it was fake. The storyline keeps you biting your finger nail and most importantly they had fun with the Greek mythology which made the movie even more enjoyable to watch. It's like your watching a movie and learning at the same time. Let me tell you something since i was little i am always fascinated with Greek mythology, their just so fascinating even until now i still read them on wikipedia when i have the mood.  Back to the movie, the movie is kind of Harry Potter-ish cause of all the powers and the history, after all it's the same director. I don't really watch movie to find something to criticize about but i usually found something to criticize about a movie, whether it be the storyline or the way they direct them but this time I can't seem to find anything wrong with the movie. I give you that much. And the whole time i was watching Logan Lerman the actor who played Percy Jacskon reminds me of Zac Efron. I don't know why though. Also when i first laid my eyes on Alexandra Daddario the girl who plays Annabeth Chase, i really thought that that was Selena Gomez. I really do.  

Right after that we went to Utama bowling, unfortunately we didn't play cause the lane was all booked.

 Oh and today i finally received my acceptance letter and the Maktab Duli folder. As of today i am officially a proud student/member of Maktab Duli Pengiran Muda Al-Muhtadee Billah. So proud of myself. I didn't know that their going to be handing out the folder today so i just didn't care. Then when i came home from Utama bowling, my father told me he had picked it up for me. I was hoping that i could pick it up myself and get to meet with my friends for the very last time and at he same time i could pick up my school magazine. Alas i didn't.

And i think it's becoming a habit of mine to change my desktop background every time i watch an interesting movie.

I tried to look for the ones you see on the posters hung everywhere, but i can't find it, well i found one but it has those weird signs in the middle of the picture. But i found another one. 

p.s. I tried to blog almost everyday since the last time i updated. But im just always distracted by other stuff.

MERDEKA!!

Brunei Darussalam is a small country on the North coast of the island of Borneo. This country is ruled by it's monarchs. We achieved our independence in 1984, the first of January. It was declared so by the late SOAS III. But we celebrated it on the 23rd of February every year. Which is today.

 Okay enough with the history lesson/first grade english essay. Since i was little, i am always a patriotic person. Well i don't really know if i was but i would like to assume that i am. But now i know for sure that i am. Patriotic. I am very proud of my country and what it has achieved in the past 26th year. I'm very proud to be Bruneian, never regretted it even for a second. I mean free education and medical facilities and not to mention a tax free country. Genius!!!

 In 2005 when  i was in form one I was so glad and very proud to be given the opportunity to perform in front of the entire country along with thousands of other Bruneians. It's an experience that i will never forget, although i was alone most of the time during practices because all the people in my group are the people i have never seen before mostly the people from other classes. I would honestly say to you that i'm not a fan of the practices at all. Try imagining yourself running and twirling umbrellas under the hot scorching sun. It was dreadful, until the day of the real performance. It was nerve-wrecking but at the same time i was relieved that it's going to end soon AND at the same time that i was proud to be there. After the performance ended i looked very tanned. Emphasis on the word 'Very'. And in 2008 i am lucky enough to get another chance to do another national day performance and this time i wasn't alone, i was grouped with my friends. I was performing next to my best friend Halimin. You think this time I would have the same experience as before, but guess what? It wasn't. It was totally a whole new experience, especially when your performing with some of your closest friends. Halimin, Zaki, Saufi and Adli im talking about you guys, we were in the same row when we preformed. It was hella fun. If i have brought my now-completely-dead-and-fried camera back then we would have tons of pictures. But alas, i didn't, but the memories will long live in my head and my heart. Other than that the practices were still dreadfully tiring. But it's dreadfully sweet if you share them with your friends. I forgot to mention about Sharull and Nazib and Burhan, but i don't think we were in the same row though.

 On a more patriotic note, which is the the initial purpose about this article. Today is the 26th annual independence day celebration and in a few more hours we will see the field performance and march pass. I would like to say Happy independence day to all my fellow Bruneians, be it here, nor abroad. By the great words of Begawan Sultan Haji Omar Ali Saifuddien Sa'adul Khairi Waddien,melaungkan kalimah "Allahuakbar,Allahuakbar,Allahuakbar! " marked Brunei as an Independent country.

MERDEKA!!

p.s. I purposely covered their faces, just to be safe.

81 singers, one song, one cause.

Music is a universal language!!

Exactly a week ago, this video is posted up on Youtube. This song is very inspirational, although it sounded a little bit odd with Wyclef Jean yodeling his face off but that's not the point. This video is created for a far more greater cause, to unite all human race in order to help Haiti. So enjoy.

I assume you've already finished watching the whole 8 plus minutes of this video. So what do you think? It has a list of great singers ranging from Barbra Streisand to Josh Groban to Celine Dion. P!nk sang as well! yeeaaah~ go P!nk. Oh Orianthi contributed her wicked guitar skills as well. And the list goes on. But i'm not surprised there's a lot of haters that hated this remake. They said these singers destroyed the original song. The song was let's just say bejurit, there are 81 (if im not mistaken) singers who contributed their voice into this remake and everyone is fighting to get their voices heard, it's like all their voices are just pasted on top of each other. Is that  even possible? And not to mention the yodeling,  and the rapping and the autotunes. Isn't it suppose to be a ballad? The producers only looked at the younger demographic and what these youngsters find appealing. But whatever, it's alright. Whadapuck! did i just said, people are dying out there and horrible things happened. So at the very least lets give a round of applause to these singers for uniting to help these Haitians who is in dire need of clean water supply and a place for shelter. This goes to you too haters. If you think you're so much better, why don't you do it yourself then?

 Damn! do i sound like a total hypocrite?

Emm i would like to contradict on what i just said before, especially the rapping part, i actually enjoyed it. It adds a certain umph to it! And i would like to remind you again that the reason this collaboration was made in the first place was to help unite the people to help the Haiti earthquake victims. And make music as a unifying force and a universal language. Dangar tu!

 This is one of the many reasons why i like to be famous someday, i want to help change the world for the better. Singing may not be my talent but i'll work something out.

Prens poreva!

Hellow!

Last year i remembered about writing an article about goodbye's and all. It's all about how im not going to see my classmates and my teachers. But now im writing to a specific person in mind and with Regina Spektor- The call on repeat on my iPod.

 So tonight i felt like everything is moving too fast, especially when i realized that me and my buddy- all- time-close-best-friend, Halimin is not going to go to the same school. We're finally parting from each other. We're not going to see each other everyday like we use to. No more laughing like crazy hyena's  because someone is bringing a cup of noodle in he middle of class. No more bitching about that popular dude with 'the body'. No more scheming against that dude cause he said something bad to us. No more calling each other by the names of Jijah, Jauyah, Munah, Munap, Minah, Kam Bai, Kayah etcetera etcetera oh how i'm gonna miss those names. No more gay jokes and so and so, you basically get the idea. And don't forget about talking on the phone for hours on end almost every night talking about stuff in school without realizing that we're repeating our conversation. And the stupid fights we had, and not talking to each other for days and realizing our stupid mistake and become closer than ever. Okay i need to stop the music, it's too sad for me. Frankly i always thought that this day will never come, that we will always remain friends, young, wild and free to do whatever. I never wanted to say goodbye. But it is a part of life that you can never avoid. It's really sad to be honest. But i'm not going to forget all of this. I will treasure them till the day i die. eseh!

 You know what? I change my mind, it's not goodbye it never was and never will be, Brunei is a small country. We will eventually bump into each other. Not everyday but i hope we can hang out and catch up. Life goes on. It's not like he's dead or anything. I will meet new people, they may not be able to compete with my bestie but it's okay.

 I, Md Mahyuddin quotes.
 "Friends are like food, when you don't eat them they will eventually go bad and you throw them away. But if you eat them they'll always remain in your stomach no matter where you go"

I know it's not the best saying you've ever read but hey, just add a pinch of imagination and your on your way. There's not enough words to describe how close we were or how crazy we could be cause we're coo'. Words aren't cool enough to describe us.

                                               Dapan plet si Jijah sama Hjh Minah. Pelanggan 

                                              setia kami. Masa ari raya ah bisdia bedua anitah 

                                              yang rajin membali amas-amasan kami ni sama kain 

                                              untuk baju kurung. hahaha just kiddig. Minta mahap

                                              ku dari ujung rambut ke ujung kuku kaki ku kalau ada 

                                              yang tersinggung. Adih mcm ari raya taya pulang.

                                              * Eh bukan miatu, bemahap-mahapan ani inda kira

                                              masa raya kah apakah. Kitani sesama manusia ani mesti

                                             bermahap-mahapah. Adih beceramah tia pulang kadiaku ani.

 

  Tadaaa~

Don't you just envy my lustrous, thick and silky hair? hahaha i guess not.

  

Showing off my our assets. Are you liking what your seeing?

                                      Ignore the name at the back of my shirt, let's just say i was

                                      once obsessed with pet society. 

   

Friends forever, oui?

And to Halimin, i would like to apologize if i ever done something wrong or offend you. Manlah kan diketahui, manatau kau pandam kemarahan mu atu. hehehe bah eh by the great words of the people of the poklen community, chAw dLu. wekwekwek.

Booiiyyeee!!!

Hey guys!

I haven't been blogging for the past 7 or 8 days. I've been busy, well not really. But we have sembahyang hajat every night since a few nights ago. (I don't remember when)

I actually wanted to blog about something else but whatever. Lets talk about books. Before that I just want to voice my concerns on the books that is sold here in the country. There aren't many book stores that offers books for leisure reading like Best eastern or Reader's haven and Paul & Elizabeth. And what bothers me more is that, there aren't many books for guys to read out there, frankly speaking, i don't really have a problem with that. you see, i read books that interests me and my opinion is, books shouldn't be classified according to gender. But that's me, what about the male community, guys don't normally read and the books offered here in the country are like those super her science fictions and weird vampire wizards with magical powers of some sorts. I have nothing against these types of books but you see, im just not a fan of those kinds of book. What else are there to buy for us guys? Not only that, bestsellers are usually sold here years after it was declared a bestseller. Whenever i see a good book review online, i would normally go to the bookstore whenever i have the chance and look it up, and to my surprise, the books are not available yet. When is it going to be available, i don;t know, a year from now perhaps. Did i mention that the books sold here are expensive? I bet you that you pay more than what the book is worth.  Honestly im a firm believer that good books are usually more expensive, but $30 for a 300 page book? and it's not even a good one if i may add. That's a fraud. So my only solution is whenever im abroad i would be buying books like it's going out of style (if you get what i mean) , it's much more cheaper and has far far FAR more choices than what we have here in Brunei.

Okay enough with the whining. I am currently reading The time traveler's wife by Audrey Niffenegger, it's an awfully thick book, but judging from the few pages i've read, it's a good book..so far. It's quite interesting really. If you want to know more just click HERE. But i will stop at page 53, cause i just realized that i haven't finished one of my other book.

 Anyways you know the movie The notebook, A walk to remember, Message in a bottle and etc. It's a screen adaptation of all the books written by the author, Nicholas Spark. I have never read his books before. The reasons because i just haven't found them yet. So im gonna make a commitment to find at least one of his books and give it a read.

p.s. The original title of this post was Books Galore #1

Form 6 baby!!

Hey!

Okay so today i went to Maktab Duli, like super early in the morning, when i came it was scorching hot to be honest and the students there are eyeing me down as if im like a walking turd. So anyways, the interview was fun. I really enjoyed it. I was there along with Halimin, Nazib and Mu'izz. When i came in there weren't as many people as i would have expected. So then i had my first interview with this teacher, she was pretty awesome. Here's the thing, i mistakenly jot down the numbers on my form about the subjects, thinking that it's like a personal preference, then she was like, why is this wrong and whatnot, so i said oh i thought thats how your suppose to do it. And she just laughed like hell and i was surprised, and she said that's cute. Then i was like, pardon. and she's like your mistake, it's cute and your personality is cute too. I blushed, ofcourse you can't see it sseing that my complexion is well, y'knw what, nevermind.

 Moving on, so after that i went to the career guidance councilor because i don't know what subjects to take,well actually i get the idea on what to take for my A-levels it's just that im not sure if it was offered in that school. Anyways the teacher asked me what im looking for in the future so i said, maybe law or politics, maybe even business. So he recomended me

• History
• Thinking skills (as my AS)
• Literature
• Sociology
• Economics

So i went to the teahcers, did this and that. It was awesome, each interview took me like 15-20 minutes.What? i ask alot of questions. So anyways Limin tried to apply to MD by appealing with the teachers, unfortunately he didn't get into MD, it was sad indeed. I just hoep we'd still be seeing each other. Anyways, psychology is a new subject that is offered in MD and the teachers are one of the very first students in Brunei to take Psychology in form 6.So yeah their pretty young, i don't know their names yet but i call one of them Sasha Fierce, hahaha cos idk maybe it's the way she projects herself in that particular time. And im one ? Well i am, you see one of the teachers said to me that you need a balance in your subjects so instead of opting for geography or history i took economics. It sounds crazy really cause well i got a C for my eco and B's for both geo and history. I took sociology as well, it's really interesting and the teacher is well nevermind.
I think i have written alot, and im still not half way through. It was a great experience and you just have to be there to experience it. Btw im taking June maths, i know im crazy but whattheheck!!
PRESSURE!!!

So these are the subjects that im taking

Economics

Sociology

Psychology 

EAS

I hopre there's no slacking off anymore this year. A-levels is not a picnic in the park.

That's it, im going now. I have to wake up early tomorrow.

 Fact of the day

You can only get braifreeze from eating icecream or drinking slushies when the weather is hot.

p.s. Just point and laugh at the grammatical errors or whatever, im too exhausted to think straight. No, im still straight, im not gay. If that's what your thinking.

We are family! I got all my sisters with me. We are family! Get up ev'rybody and sing

Before i say hi i just wanted to tell you people that the title above are taken from the song We are family by sister slendge (google them if you don't know) 

 Hey!

So okay today i attended this wedding at hua ho manggis, there's a hall there, it was pretty lavish. Unfortunately i don't have any  pictures to show you guys, so yeah. Im still waiting for my lovely cousin Liyana Nadhirah  to email them to me though. I'll put it up som other time, if i have them that is. 

Right after the wedding, well actually right BEFORE the wedding my sis received a call from my cousin, offering us to go for a picnic, somewhere. So after that we went there. And first of all let me tell you that we drove like half an hour from home to get there. I think they call it Kolam si Louis i think, frankly speaking i don't really know the name of the place. But there are 2 things that im sure about. First of all, the place smells like crap. Literally! and secondly it has a lot of fish. After all it is a kolam full of fish. When you catch them you are charged according to the type of fish and their weight. It's a very lucrative business really. And the fish is not like those you see at the pasar (fish market) their huge and..well huge lah! We had a "picnic" there. Oh did i mention that there was this fish, a giant fish. It's soooo huge like frakishly ginormous!! it's almost the same size as me except it doesn't have all my assets. I think they've captured alot, especially my uncle Mursidi a.k.a Amit CD. That man is a fish magnet. My bungsu captured one of the most expensive fish out of the batch. Bah belajatah bungsu! And my cousin, almost ALMOST caught this fish, ikan patin and guess what, her name is Fatin as well (pronounced Patin) and her brother as well, he was 3 if im not mistaken, well around that age lah. Unfortunately the fish got away, if he would have caught the fish he would be the youngest person to catch the fish in our family. His name is Faiq Daniel. What else? umm.. nevermind just enjoy these photos. Credits to Nurkhairunissa Afiqah Haji Mursidi.

Faiq Daniel: The little guy trying to fish. Doesn't it remind you of that milk ads on tv? where they have baby lawyers, footballers and stuff?

 

A closer look at the little legend. 

 

And Fatin pronounced Patin, like the fish!

  

The lads.

  

The lassies.

 

The chicas.

 

My dad was panicking when he caught a big fish, sadly it got away. haha

 

But nevertheless, he got his share. hahaha look at how excited he was.

 

Haikal and Shasha! isn't it the most darling thing you had ever seen?

 

And it was scorching hot and im not even talking about the weather. hahaha

The weather was hot too.
