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.

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!

Tuesday, 2/3/10
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.
