2010 what am I looking for?
2010 is here and yet, I'm not too eager about the new year. I'm not sure what this year brings me but a whole lot of expectation especially returning to Melbourne to continue for my Honours degree (Insya-Allah). If not, I'll be starting my career with that I'm not eager about finding a job just yet when my heart still wants to keep on having education.
I'm staying with my parent in Bangkok for the mean time and heck it has been a boring holiday. However, it rained today which made me excited to see rain pouring heavily. Waiting for the weekend so dad could take me out on a shopping spree. I need to get a motherboard for my Asus Laptop which I've not been using for more than 6 months. I miss my ASUS though it's lying on the bed.
I also need to get stuff for my maid and my best friends birthday gifts. Though I'm not sure if my luggage still fits as I arrived from Melbourne. So imagine all the left over junks from Melbourne..well, was 26 Kg on the way here. In this case, have to repack and leave some for my parent to bring some when they return to Brunei on the following week.
I'm leaving Bangkok on the 10th and soon I'll be having my Indonesian friend, Helen, coming for her holidays. Though I'm pretty worried of places to take her since she'll be in Brunei for a week. Thank God, my cousin, Ejul, is helpful enough to guide us at Temburong. Hope the plan goes well.
This also include for next weekend is my sleepover at the Empire with my best friends. Seems like a busy week for next week as I have to clear some errand with M.O.E as I have finished my scholarship contract with them and need to claim some receipts. Hopefully, I could also get another offer from them.
At this point, I want to meet with all my family and friends whom I missed so much for 3 years even though I've been returning for holidays, it just feels that it ain't enough to meet up. Hopefully there will be a big feast for the family since my sister's son has to undergo Aqiqah.
Aqiqah is an Islamic term for:

So my parent decide to include a blessing feast for my siblings and I that have graduated and passed exams. It's going to be one full house
I chatted with B yesterday and I had quite a lot of questions of hows everyone and the gift exchange. Basically gift exchange was not so like 2008. I also chatted with Lawrence and he told me about this drawing he's trying to do since its been a while. I can't wait to see the outcome. They are also planning for Sydney in May. Gosh, if only I could join them. Even if I do, might as well drag Nee along. Its been awhile since she seen them.
Now its a matter of waiting to return to Brunei. I'm also going to dread the internet connection especially if the boys are asking to play Guild Wars. Though I doubt it and I'll be waiting to grab the chance to hangout with them including my little fellow friend Oni. Well, not sure if he is little but because he's the baby in RGB guild. He's trying to escape from meeting with us.
I have things to do next; Cooking dinner. I didn't cook lunch neither did my mum, so I guess we weren't hungry after eating some pancakes. So, hopefully when I'm bored or got something to type about, I'll post to you all soon.
Thank you again for reading

2009 filled with memories
University and Melbourne Life
So, I've graduated from Swinburne University of Technology and my Final semester result wasn't all that proud, though,I managed to pass and still have a distinction. Without a doubt, I had my family and Dyna, coming for my graduation on the 22nd December 2009.
Receiving my award and being the FIRST one to go on stage
I graduated with my other fellow Uni friends; Edison, Eileena, Kevin, Mughz, Raessa, Raskhy, Siska, Sophie and Tina. Sadly to say, C dude wasn't around during the ceremony. Lost in Sight.
With that, here's a piece of last moment related to C dude just before the Final Exam
Thursday
On Thursday, I was on the was to class and obviously my route is to go to the door that leads the staircase of BA building instead of going up the library entrance to my BA building main entrance.
I was with Sansan, then just by a few steps before reaching the door, C dude came out from that door and I was like "SINCE WHEN?!" but I acted focus on listening to Sansan's story with a smile on my face.
BUT that wasn't the last time I saw him on that day. After class, I went to Bread Kingdom to buy bread. Then went back home and I was walking fast that just at the other side of the CORNER C DUDE appeared but I BRAKED, if not I WOULD HAVE BUMPED HARD ON HIM and would have the chance to talk to him.
I was surprised when we met at the corner but he too braked but I just smiled and left. Talk about been cool and awkward at the same time. Sigh~! See the chances blown away just like that. xD
Saturday
Heck! today I saw him AGAIN! this time at McD, I was with B sitting at the window and all of the sudden while facing B having debate on religion, C dude sat the seat next to B. I was like of all seats, why so close! There were other empty seats. Coincidentally I was telling Lawrence about C Dude I think the day before, and all of the sudden, C dude appears the next day. How fate leads you to him.
B and Lawrence think he does have a thing for me and THEY are trying to stalk to him in other words TALK TO HIM for me which I told them not to because its between me and him. They also said that it's like both of us stalking each other, if u noticed he started to use the stairs i always go to and then he sits quite near to me.
Sunday (I was typing this in the library trying to get away from Lawrence's bullying)
I'm in the library and HE'S HERE!!! And Uchi saw how we both reacted when we past each other, both shy away! and B was impress with his height and that we'll make a cute couple but I'm annoyed coz Lawrence keeps on teasing and trying to pull my leg.
Monday
On the way to the library at 10pm, saw C dude outside just before he was coming down and me coming up the stairs to the Atrium on the other side.Eileena, Lawrence and Sande was with me. Eileena said "Eh u two cam tak tengok (like don't look at) each other"
I told her "Yelah we always automatically do the same thing" xD
Lawrence was with us and he said "It like He knows that you know he knows" and I said I know! wait..is it that transparent?!" and Lawrence said YES!! xD
we went to the Project Hub then Eileena said to me "Eh bukan kah ini budak yg pakai baju putih kawan c dude?" (Hey, isn't this the guy wearing white C dude's friend?)
and I was unsure because I always tend to see his back. The guy was with a friend. They were talking casual because Eileena eavesdrop until the other friend wanted to go home, cdude's friend said to him "Eh try to ask Da Siong to come back here (because she is here)"
Then Eileena she said to me "Eh pelik nya nama c Dude" (Eh, why so strange C dude's name?) and I was like HAH!? what did he say C dude's name?
Eileena said " Da Siong" and I told her that is not his name. and Eileena said ooh because Da Siong means BIG BEAR in Chinese. and I was like "Eh his badan (body) not big like bear mah!" and she said maybe they call him big bear because of his height.
I told Lawrence I will find that chance to talk to him and ask when his last day of exam which obviously DIDN'T HAPPENED. So that's what you called a BLOWN OFF CHANCE! But it would be pretty stunned if we coincidentally did meet each other in the future after some time. How daydreaming I am today! :P And yes my Uni crush story could be made a movie out of it or even a drama series.
Anyways, I had a memorable time in SUT as I didn't expect to have this much of friends who I'd miss and hope that we'll be able to be in reach. I also had time with Kevser and boy, talk about girls' day out. We went shopping and met up with Fatih's parent aswell as Kevser's later in the evening. Arrived home around midnight. I miss her jolliness and freakiness. I had a reply by email which I need to reply back soon.
Kevser and Fatih even planned to get me match make with this Bruneian Chinese who embraced Islam in Melbourne just only because I had liking for slitty eyes. Thank you guys but it just freaked me out. Haha. Wishing you two the best in the future and may Allah bless u with good health,wealth and many blessings to come.
I've also learnt how to make Bubur Cha cha from Uchi (Penang-er) and even Sushi. Had a blast having group cooking and meal. I also had the chance to even be able to go to the Great Ocean Road and the weather was great. Speaking of which, I wont be missing Melbourne 4 season in 1 day. Just unpredictable and summer was freaking hot for me.
That I didn't have a proper farewell get together with the AWESOME people. We had gift exchange on the Boxing day but I was all in a rush because I had to send and help Dyna with her packing for her flight that night. I also had to do my packing as my flight was on the following morning.
Lawrence opening the less than 0.05% alcohol Champagne bottle
The gift exchange was all teary. I didn't want to cry but before that I met up with Lawrence at Chadstone and on the way to Glenferrie, he said he will miss me and I felt my heart crunch but held it back. Once we arrived Glenferrie and cleared the stuff from my apartment, went over to B and she gave me such a heartfelt gift, that I started to tear up. Eileena was in tears after looking at my state and when I hugged everyone goodbye.
How I wish leaving Melbourne was that easy but it wasn't as I had many friendship and memories built by the people who I spent time with. That is why I'm trying to get an offer for Honours Degree from Monash and Deakin in Melbourne; and Griffith in Brisbane. Pray for me that I do get an offer and I'll be financially supported.
LIFE
Life for 2009 has been overwhelmed and filled with Joy, laughter,sadness and unexpected memories. I had my sister's wedding early this year and almost towards the end of the year, 29th December 2009, a new addition had made us all excited. Ak Muhammad Saifullah with his cute nose (just like my sister's) is my newborn baby nephew and I can't wait to hold him! He is the first Grandson for my parent but the 2nd grandchildren after our late Azrina.
Ak Muhd Saifullah bin Pg Khairollah
At this moment, I'm in Bangkok. I flew from Melbourne on 27th as Yuyul had plan to stay over in Bangkok on the same day. She was first to arrive and I had caught a sore throat making it horrible for me to enjoy the holiday with Yuyul and her sister, baby. However, they were more to shopping as we only did one sight-seeing which was at the floating market.
Sadly, my sibling left on the 30th and Yuyul's on the 31st. Apparently I spent NYE with my parent and still having the bad sore throat and sniffles. I wasn't all hype for 2010 as I wasn't looking forward for career just yet as I still want to continue to study but then, I still have to apply just in case I wont get an offer or I wont be able to get financial support.
So here I say farewell 2009, but memories are always kept alive. The year that I changed for.
