Movie review.

Hello guys, so the main reason why im blogging is because i have this sudden urge to blog. Secondly i just wanted to do another movie review, this time it's My one and only and i watched them in Star Movies.

  First off, this movie is about a teenage boy living in the 1950s recounting his journey from New York to California, specifically Hollywood with his mother and older brother and along the way they encountered challenges and heartaches. I personally like the plot very much, it's simple and original though predictable at times, ye itt engages me to actually sit through everything and pretty much watch the whole thing. Im not really a fan of Renee Zelwegger partly because i am not very familiar with her work but she did a great job in playing a witty, independent-ish woman and a mother who knows nothing about her child. sad, but it's really entertaining to watch how she discovers a lot about her sons from their road trip.
  Im going to have to admit that im not an expert in American culture particularly before my time but she did a great job is portraying a women in the 50's.
  The movie has this sombre feeling to it but it didn't affect you emotionally, maybe because of the way the movie was shot but idk. The movie was abit slow but ironically the story progresses rapidly, i just don't feel bored watching it, it's a good 'feel good movie' in a sense that at the end of the movie you had  a positive experience of watching it. Apart from that, this movie eventhough it's told from the perspective of a teenage boy but at the same time it also has that feeling of romance and glamour. Then again, America in the 50's is uber glamorous.
 Don't they? I'll leave you non-existent readers with that.

Tradition.

   Tradition, according to dictionary.com means the handing down of statements, beliefs, legends, customs, information, etc., from generation to generation, esp. by word of mouth or by practice. But what does it really mean? Im here not to talk about the Bruneian tradtion, oh no, non of those please. For me tradition means the customs or things we do with our family and friends, something we love to do with them. It has come to my realization that me and my group of friends have a tradition of our own. Nothing like those you see on TV though or in movies where we would have movie nights and such. What's our tradition? Lunch and dinner out. Yes it's our little thing, unlike many teenagers these days that would rather walk around the mall or watch a movie we actually have dinner. We chat during dinner, we get to know ourselves even more while enjoying a lovely meal, we would eat and then we would spend hours on end talking, cracking jokes, laughing and the occasional birthday surprises. I personally enjoy these kind of things, it's so..New York for the lack of any other better examples. Another reason as to why i love it is because we spent our dinner in a real restaurant, with real food not some crappy fast food or anything like that and we don't usually eat at the same place twice, we like to experiment. Me and my friends, we love food. While watching a movie or going to the arcade may be fun but we didn't get to talk or laugh or all those things we could do after a great dinner. 
   I love my friends, and cheers to another hundreds more dinner and lunch out. Bah bila lagi dinner out ani? haha aku menunggu udah ni, andang pilih tah restaurant mana oii! inda lagi payah memirkirkan nanti.

Welcome back to school.

School started sooner than i would have wanted but i know for sure that i had fun during the holidays. What with all the trips and the parties but all of those need to be left behind seeing that i need to get my head in the game. It's the A-levels we
re talking about here. I am inspired to become a lawyer or atleast for now so in order for me to get that that point i need to start now. This year may make or break me, it's the catalyst of what may be a life long and dream fulfilled career. Excuse me for my terrible grammar but im not here to teach myself proper english, i'll leave that to Miss Nourse. At this point i don't really know what to talk about other that a good welcome back to the first day of school, i went out this afternoon with my friends, i know it sounds crazy seeing that it's the first day of school. Till then bye.

Happy New year 2011.

  The title pretty much sums up what i am about to say, Happy new year to you all and i hope last years mistakes are sorted out and all the bad things are left behind. Lets open a new chapter in our life and start scribbling down those memories. Look at how cheesy i am but i don't care. This year im faced with what may be the biggest obstacle i'll have to overcome in my educational career and that is the A-levels. Enough about school. Lets start our New year with a positive kick, surround ourselves with family and friends and hope for the best that our relationship with them don't just pass by like 2010. Traditions should be carried on with the people in our life or better yet, start a new one. Make more friends and surround ourselves with positivity. Ok.
  I've never summed up the previous years of my life into one word or determine it as a good or bad year because i've lived through alot of things, the good-the bad and the plain insane. So why sum it up into one if you've done a gazillion of other things? So im going to just leave you with that cause I wouldn't want you, my non-existance reader to miss out on your new years celebration with your family so run along now. With that i would like to say Selamat tinggal to 2010 and hello 2011.

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!
