Sorry guys I didn't update the blog, didn't have the time too. Oh well, here's some update on what has been going on since I have been home.

Home Sweet Home!

⊆ Sunday, July 20, 2008 by Deano | ˜ 0 splurges »

Home sweet home! Yes people! I am back home finally. Been missing home too much, I have so much plans to do today, especially when it comes to eating, yeah, probably heading down to Seria today to catch some martabak or mee mamak, which is great because I can now eat whatever I want, KFC and McD's, bring it on!.

Anyway, I arrived in Brunei around 10.28 ish here and then, good a ride from one of the shell transport to send us from the airport to my home in Lumut. Once I reached home, most of the things has changed so fast. I mean literally, when I'm in the UK, everything seems so slow and then when you come back home, it's so obvious that everything here is quite fast. I have yet to venture CA Mohammad (makan lah tu!), Giant (I just want to know what the fuss is about) and some other shops I want to visit as well. Miss my friends here as well (you guys know who you are) and as for the people who I met in the UK and became friends with, let's hang out soon yeah? Batah sudah nda hangout sama kamu =).

Anyway, reached home, the garage was covered with brown tiles. It was surprising because I have never seen my garage been decorated so much. Went in, and the walls was painted yellow. I'm like "Uh, why is the wall yellow?". Then, went into the Kitchen, everything's change, the colour of course, black marble and everything surrounds it turns blue. It was a nice change though. Then, comes the living room, man, that was one dramatic change, I can't explain it but it was just nice to see. I'll post up the pictures soon. I'll tell you now, it's the first time I see the living room transformed so much!. Then, checked my room, all of my dad's office work was in my room, so I had to move it out. Once everything is clear, unpacked my bags, texted my friend to come, since he was really iski to come =). Anyway, I think that's about it, the rest I should say, Pengsan!! =).

 

Pictures and random stories up ahead.

⊆ Sunday, July 13, 2008 by Deano | ˜ 0 splurges »

OK guys, this is going to be a long update, and I don't mean very long though, it's just that I'm going to cram this post with lots of pictures though, well not a lot I guess. So here I go. Today, I woke up around 6am in the morning, thinking the driver will be there but obviously he did not show up as he did not received my message and calls yesterday. Screw him!. Anyway, went to the airport today using Heathrow Connect, only to realise that my parents had already finished everything. I was like "Eh? How come? I thought you guys should be finishing right around 8-ish?". I was surprised but yeah.

My friend stayed over the room the other night. Which was cool by the way. Hm, yesterday, my room was filled with people and I mean people. First it was just my friend from Cardiff, then came Mike, so the three of us just started to talk. Then, I went to the toilet, after I came out, Kel was there. I was thinking, god, my room is a place where random people just gather in one place :). Anyways, we had a small talk, and then K went off with his Dominos Pizza (thanks Kel!!). So we just played Pro Evo then, beaten Mike and my friend, then Kel came back into the room, played Pro Evo, of course, naturally I was no match for him so he definitely won (I must work more harder to achieve that kind of strength). After that is done it's just the two of them playing until 2am in the morning. I was already KO'd and went to sleep, and then shortly after, they went to sleep as well.

Now, after picking my parents, we went to the designated apartment somewhere in Kensington. It was a nice place though and a nice apartment as well. Shame I didn't take a picture of the apartment. Looks like I will be using the 27 bus all week until I go back home. Anyway, after we met with the owner of the apartment, he explained to us what to do in the apartment, the what so about and so forth, and then, he started to talk about his daughther believe it or not. The moment my dad said about my graduation, he jokingly said "Oh yes, since both of you of the same age to graduate, I'll give you "HER" e-mail and you can chat with her". Eek, I was thinking, is he for real?. Anyways we went shopping to Tesco and Waitrose to buy some stuff for the apartment. Went back with the groceries, my mum decided to cook Soto Mie instead. Then, my dad asked me to go back to BH to pick up the rice cooker and the stuff they need I'll buy from here. Went back to the apartment and everyone were dead asleep except for my sister, she was doing her assignments. Anyways, I was already falling asleep whilst watching Ben 10 on Cartoon Network (I don't know why but that cartoon seems fun!). So I decided that I went back home and have a rest. Reached BH, feeling hungry, went out to buy food. Went out of my room, saw K by the stairs, then, went out to the lobby saw Eza, they have just finished football I think (I was suppose to go but I'm really dead tired already at that time). Went to get food, came back and start to think about packing, but I decided to do some blogging first. Well guys, here's some picks I just put up for the fun of it.


Ha, I just took this picture a few days ago. Well who is a fan of her, shout out at the chatbox!.



Hm, this was taken when I was waiting out of Esprit. Man, two days straight, that was not fun at all, seriously :).





Well, this how my room's currently looking at, really messy, I need to pack soon! *sigh*.



Just took this today right after we settled down on the apartment. My brothers eating.

Anyway, here's to end the blog.

Going back to Brunei -6 days and counting.

Can't wait!!.

 

It would be alright.

⊆ Friday, July 11, 2008 by Deano | ˜ 0 splurges »

Okay, why did I make up these nonsense titles which does not even linked with the blog? Well, to tell you the truth, I am listening to this band right now:


Yup, they are called Three Days Grace if you might wonder or if you don't know this band. Well, maybe if you are in line with the music from Disturbed, Story of the Year or Trapt, then this is the band for you. The name of the song that I am listening to is Never Too Late. Somehow, I have the motivation on doing a new video, probably singing this song or Peterpan - Di Balik Awan. Oh! I should make a poll after this, then you guys decide which one I should sing. How's that for a change my dear readers? Oh well, back to business.

What I have done so far is just busy, busy. Yeah, yesterday, my cousin actually moved out from their apartment last minute, for some reasons though (don't wanna state it). Anyway, all their stuff are put in BH, well, let's say, it was 10.30 all the stuff were starting to stack up, and waiting for them until 12.30am was a good idea really, at least the place is lively for some reason yesterday, I was at the reception talking to Abg Din, then came Mike, and then came AF then came ashrin, oh and sudden appearances of Kel as well (sorry bro, had to put it in there). So the five of us just talked at the lobby whilst I was waiting for their stuff to arrive. Once their stuff and they have arrived in BH, all of us who were at the lobby helped packed the stuff at the storage room and some brought down to the warden's place where they were staying. As some of the stuff went to my room for now. That was yesterday.

Anyway, today, it's just the same. Except that they are moving out and are living in an hotel for a while. Well, the same thing happens like what last night was. Just carrying bags in and out, up and down of the stairs. Nice! I have a good exercise, since I have not been working out (kept myself from them, trying to lose my belly here.. :) ). After that commotion ended it's just me back to my room and for 5 hours, I finished watching Kenichi. Somehow, it just gave me the motivation of not giving up in whatever you are doing right now and work hard and it will pay off real good.

Well, here's a video that made me motivate to sing the song:



One random tip: "To lose weight, eating heavy during lunch and eating light during dinner helps to lose weight".

Although this does have nothing to do with the blog itself, it's just some random thoughts I want to put it in here.

Oh yeah, to the people who reminded me to bring back whatever you wanted, better you guys put a shoutout in the chatbox so that I can be reminded yeah?.

Yeah, it's another short blog, so I'll end this again like so.


Parents coming down to London - 1 day left.

Finally! I get to out of my room for once. At least I have something to do now If I want to buy something for myself I have the money too. Weehaw! I'm not really broke anymore. Though, I have to spend my unsurmountable amount of trying to buy things which are not of necessary use to me.

Okay, here's what I did today. Basically, when I woke up, going online like normal, then checked my HSBC account, money came in! Yes! I was thinking OK, now I have to go somewhere. So decided to go to Adidas to get my Marseille jersey printed with name and number. When I went there, I was disappointed, as the person I asked at the counter asked the receipt of the jersey. How stupid of me, I threw it when I was cleaning up the room last time *sigh*. Oh well, that's just life. After that, I decided to try the salon that you guys have been too in Chinatown (you guys know who you are, minta dangani ke sana saja). So, I have a new haircut again!. Didn't expect it to be this way. You guys would see my hair next time when I am in Brunei already yeah?. So yeah, after that decided to go back to BH. Along the way, when I was in the bus, met with Thirah, she was doing some last minute shopping as she's going back to Brunei tomorrow. After that, she went to Edgware, I proceeded to BH likewise. Then, I went to check on the apartment Tesco, after that, I just went to Chicken Spot, went back, and started eating. After I finished my food, I was thinking I should buy Fanta again, so I went down to Sainsbury to buy them.

Shortly after, I was just stuck in my room watching History's Strongest Disciple : Kenichi. In case you did not know, it's an anime. It's a nice anime indeed.



The normal way to end this.

Hm, In case you were wondering my dear readers why I have not updated my blog, because I was too lazy too. Well, it's kind of the same monotonic things going on in my life except for some changes recently.

Well, first of all, I have been going up and down to D's room just to get games from him, GTA IV and my Pro Evo. Well, at least I have something going on here anyway. Still, BH is empty. Only filled with people filling up the transit rooms. Hm, what joy, I will be back in Brunei next week! Watch out people who are expecting me to go back home soon. Anyway, in these past few days, well, these two days, I have been playing GTA IV, it was heck of a fun, if you know what I mean, stealing cars, blowing up cars, hit and run pedestrians, try to find fights on the streets, you know, the typical American lifestyle living, except for that stealing, blowing cars, finding fights, which can only happen in the game. I noticed that this game has a heck load of swearing, I mean literally. When you go have a drive somewhere in the game, you will pedestrians on the side road saying "Oh Shit!", "Don't try to f*** with me buddy", "Ey, what are you f****er, blind or something?", yeah, that sort of nature. Maybe it's not open to kids for this game, but for those people who likes these sort of games, give it a go. I personally like to mess around with the game. What is so good about this game that I like? The cheats!. The cheats are the best thing to mess around with. Just input the cheats on his mobile and something may fall of from the sky on where you are standing on that game. Anyway, that's the game. I fairly sure by now everyone knows it already.


I just putting up the picture for fun. Anyway, the days before, I only went to Tesco to buy some stuff and went to Bayswater to buy some more perencah, after that, nah, I was just in my room the whole day. Oh yeah, I have finished watching Dragonball GT along with it's special episode. I'm still wondering what has happened to Goku after Shenlong took him? I was just wondering. There were so many answers on the internet from "geeks" who theorized them. But anyway, I don't care.

Oh yeah, today I will be going to Canary Wharf!. Well, I have never been there, so expect pictures later people. Well, like usual, here's to end the blog.


Parents coming down to London - 7 days.

Well, this entry would not be as long since my everyday route of life for this week is basically like written in a "this-is-your-life" script. My life is really boring here, nothing much interesting things happening, except that I have passed my degree (syukur!) and basically I don't do anything special.

My daily life goes like this. Wake up in the morning, probably around 10-ish, sometimes a little early but it's okay, and then, stall off my shower until lunchtime, then I'll take a shower and then start cooking for lunch, then TV, if not, I might go out with my cousin and buy some really,really cheap. You know, I have been to Esprit like two times in a row and I just found out even though it is a cool shop, maybe it's not for me, I much prefer Zara or H&M. Maybe that's my taste so yeah.

This blog entry is going to be a short one seriously, because that is what I have been doing for the past two days now, nothing new, and oh yeah! Watching Dragonball Z. OK, mind you, some of the episodes in the hard drive have been cut off during their battle scenes so I have to rely on sidereel.com to watch the anime. Now I'm addicted to it.

Anyway, here's the way to end my blog.

The anxiety reciprocal is over.

⊆ Wednesday, July 02, 2008 by Deano | ˜ 0 splurges »

Yes! I finally made it! I am now officially an approved Undergraduate. Yea! Well, to tell you the truth, I was suppose to do the blog the morning after I found out my results, but I just waited until night time. Oh well. But yay! An undergraduate. If you wonder what did I get I'll tell you at the end of this blog.

So this normal day begins, but I woke up really early today, around 6.30. I got myself thinking how come I woke up so early? Probably of my anxiety that I made the day before. I was really nervous about my results today. So then, I slept back and woke up around 8.30. I tried to sleep back but it was no use, so I just decided to go online. When it was 9.30, I decided to check out the reception whether the results were there already. Once I head out of my room, I ran into Kak Sri first, and then, near the lobby, Di, Ha, Halim and Fz. Saw them and talked to them a little bit, then off they went somewhere. So I asked Ka Ros and BAM!, there's the letter. I was feeling really nervous so I went back to room and opened the letter. Joy oh joy as I got the letter, I passed. It was like the lightest feeling ever, all the burden being lift off after looking at my results.

After that, I started to check the offer letters for me to accept the offers and send the acceptance letters from Surrey, Westminster and Brunel University. All of them are from London per se. So yeah, I went to the post office to buy the stamps and then put it in the box. So after that, went back to BH, decided to cook for myself. Then, the curtain people came in and changed the curtains. Here's how it looks like:

The new curtains for the boys block. I don't know about the girls dock but most probably the same colour. But yeah, it's much better since it contrasts with the carpet. When it is all done from there, I just stuck, glued to the TV. Watching TMF these days. Pimp my Ride, recently I watched Punk'd. Well, while I'm doing my blog here, I still watching TV. Okay, back to the main story. After eating, I played my PSP and tried some new games, DragonBall Z: Shin Budokai 2 and Anata wo Yurusanai. Once I played Anata Wo Yurusanai, everything was in Japanese and I don't even understand a single word. So I just liked pressed the R button a few times until I feel asleep. Woke up around 3 and then decided to watch this on my hard drive:


DragonBall GT. It was really refreshing to watch back this anime back as I have not seen the continuation of what happened after Z. So, it was really nice. It looks like I will be watching it later on. I have this urgue to drink Fanta : Twist, so I can't hold it, so went down to Sainsbury's to buy it with the offer, 2 for 2 pounds. reached BH and then saw Afq, chatted with him for a while and head to the room. I made Spaghetti first, after that, I didn't feel satisfied so made 2 packs of Indomee's to satisfy my hunger.

Yeah, to top this blog, here's the current countdown.


Results - I passed!! 2.2
Parents coming down to London - 12 days.
Going back to Brunei - 17 days and counting.

Late blog for the late entrants.

Ok, maybe it was a bit boring today, but WTH, it's just another dull day, or so, I hope. But it turned out to be a good day for me, not the whole stay in the room do nothing type of thing, but good thing I was up for chatting so I did. Chatted with my friend from Australia and some of my friends here in UK,well, basically trying to promote myself on YouTube, nothing special about it though. Just to see the reaction of those two individuals, unfortunately, my friend from Aussie knows this already so yeah, that kind of ruined it, but my other friend was very surprised. Well, in a sense, speechless in the chatbox (apakan?). But yeah, the conversation continues on I asked them what type of songs I am best suited for. My Aussie friend stated that I am more preferable singing English songs since I don't have a deep voice, and my other friend prefers me to sing Pop or R&B songs but yeah, anyway, guys, if you have an opinion on what kind of music is best suited for me to sing just let me know on the chatbox, that might help alot, and critisicm is much obliged. I got a tip from my friend for improving my vocals. Cool! but it only helps to release your real singing voice by singing through your stomach.

Anyways, here's the story for today. Just receive an e-mail from the college stating that they have dispatched the results to everyone through mail. Man, when I read that e-mail, at first I was like, *shit!, I hope I pass*. Well, I did not read the full part of the e-mail though, that's why. I was in my state of worriness though I did not show it. Then, Nas showed up like normal. He then decided to cook Nasi Goreng. Haha, first of all, I was planning to cook by my own, but since, he's cooking why not? It's not always you get people to cook for you (duh! di brunei selalu, ada amah! haha, teruk eh! Ia tah aku nda pandai masak atu!). Anyway, here's what we have been doing while the chef's is cooking:


As you can see, there's the chef in action. While he was cooking, this is what I did:


Haha, yes. While he was cooking, I was playing guitar hero. Sorry for the head cut off. Oh yeah, now I noticed in the picture, it's the new shirt I bought from Esprit. The first time I ever bought anything from there. Anyway, after he finished cooking, we just went online and I played Dragonball. Woops! I forgot, when we were online, I checked the e-mail again to be sure and I forgot to read this part of the mail:

"Students who have outstanding fees with re-sit coursework have been sent with a brief note of explanation together with re-sit coursework. Students who have failed exams will be sent a separate email this afternoon."

That part which I highlighted earlier was the missing information I did not read. Then, I waited during the afternoon, no new e-mails came from the college. Thank god!, Now I can be rest assured that I passed my degree. AMIN!!. Anyway, after that the cooking session came. After that it's just pure boredom. What I did is just going online and finished this game:

Yeah, it's DragonBall Z: Shin Budokai for the PSP. I actually managed to finished it with Vegito unlocked. Yeah! Vegeta and Goku Fusion!. Man, how I missed the cartoon. I might watch it again someday.

Anyways, here's to end the blog. The normal countdown.

Results - Tomorrow!! (I hope).
Parents coming down to London - 13 days.
Going back to Brunei - 18 days and counting.
