bernaRd, not bernad

If you ppl happen to notice, this someone spelled me-nama wrongly and obviously when to the wrong site! OI! Its with a "R" after "A". Bernard not Bernad!


Anyways, nothing much happened lately.

Watched the comedy movie 'Get Smart' yesterday. It is neither a great nor bad one movie. BUT definitely still not as good as the legendary Rush Hour series! HAHAHA.. The main lead, forgot his name, I've never seen before. Should be a new actor, I guess. The female lead was quite pretty. Dwayne Johnson aka The Rock' was in it too though he didnt feature much.. and so was his wrestling buddy from India aka 'The Great Khali'. Id stop there to ensure there are no spoilers here.


Hmm.. come to rethink back those scenes, for $7(go with bunch of ppl who have an efficient(still working haha) sense of humour of course) not bad lah! Sure can go watch. Id give around 7 out of 10, where 10 is excellent..

OO.. Btw heard of the Dynamic Tower before?

Go click on the link and read. It is a tower ( a first of a kind) that will not have a fixed structure/shape. Why? Every floor will rotate, thus producing a different building structure everytime! WOW.. A more comprehensive report -> link

Alright.. Night people!~

Bernard discovers that...

Throughout this past week,

Bernard Discovered That:

• He cannot join the NBT Treasure Hunt cause his car is ineligible due to lack of servicing at NBT. Lucky leh!

• He has not seen morning light due to his 5 am to 1 pm sleep schedule
  
  
• His results are out!
  
  
• The exam SMS service doesn't like him (As sudah 2 semesters he didnt receive results from em, even thou' he subscribed on time)
  
  
• He is starting to like Counter-strike (He's anti-CS throughout all these years)
  
  
• Pirated games have stupid bugs which is really frustrating
  
  
• The latest software release may not bring you any good - Firefox ver. 3 (downloaded it yet?)
  
  
• Computer shops tend to have the lousiest service among the different business fields. You'll most likely get served by ego, i-know-more-than-you + ur-not-the-only-customer attitude. Sheesh.. Nvm maybe its only me lah.
  

• He ain't running as much in bball games as he used to! Psst.. don't think coach will come across this blog eh
  
  
• You should go earlier or spot-on at 11? if you are going to Dynasty's Dim Sum midnight buffet cause they refill their food way too slow and stop refilling way early
  
  
• If you go eating with J.Seng, you'll end up with more air than food in your tummy due to excessive laughing from the "J.Seng Effect"
  
  
• There is a "Dreamcones" unit in front of the ATMs at the Mall, Gadong. YummY!
  
  
• "Mango + Sago" dessert at i-sweet (at Giant) is refreshing! Maybe a lil bit costly? Costs $2.50 and its just a small bowl
  
  
  
  
  
  
• The recent Britain Got Talent show was won by a street dancer. Name is George Sampson, 14 yrs of age. Youtube him and tell me whether he's a worthy winner or not. Honestly, I feel there are far more better street dancers compared to him, thou' I don't know a lot bout dancing. Haha.. yea yea.. gotta consider that he is only 14 too!
  
  

End of discoveries.. hahaha

Nice day ppl!

Sights but no sounds of Berakas Beach

Recently went to the beach with Ing, Geok, Foo, Chai and their buddies to Berakas beach.

Plus, I managed to boot into Windows already! Which also means I could upload pics (coz Linux inda dapat detect Sony mobile)

So sights of the day:

Taken when baru tiba

Black clouds coming..

Enough of sceneries lah.. Lets look at the people

Wah.. ganas jua

Without her, no food

Then suddenly,

Assuming the 'guy' referred is me


Ahh, should be correct lah! HAHA!


Besides 'the Penguin', Mermaids can get blur too


Then suddenly! All gone..


Look right.. Also nothing

Afternoon came

Bye bye black clouds

Notice the different colours in the sea.
I forgot why its like that already. Due to the different depth is it?

Maybe my best pic for the day

Whoa, this big thing weren't around a few years back


Mana lu orang?


Ohh, there..

A-N-I-M-A-L-S



Bah.. can stop right there. There are many more other things for us to love and care about actually.

One of those should be animals lah.

Does that mean I am a vegetarian?
NO

Does that mean I should be a vegetarian?
Still no.

Does that mean that I don't care for animals?
Nah, don't think so. As quoted by CK, "Animals eating other animals is a part of life".

Shyt, Im lame.

Anyways back to my main point of this post. It is regarding the Animal Shelter of Brunei. Just in case you didn't know, I found its site/blog when I happened to google it. Haha.. I was curious, I think this society was officially registered sometime towards the second half of last year. Thus, close to one year already. If Im not wrong, there are currently working on their 'official' website at the moment.

Their current blog:
Animal Shelter of Brunei

Here, you can check out the dogs, cats and other animals that need a home. However, animals that you adopt will not be able to be caged or tali-ed. They'd even do a check at your place somemore beforehand as stated.

I feel they are doing a great job at the moment thou' I don't know them that well. You can read Kirsteen's blog. Im not sure of her position in the society and I never talked to her face-to-face before. Maybe she is the e-mail-to-person of the society because she's the one who replies the emails. I did email her a few times enquiring on stuff. Before discovering her blog, I was expecting the usual no-reply-to-normal-ppl treatment to be honest. I always believed that ppl like these certainly have far more important things to attend to then reply to a mail from a nobody. I got it wrong thou'. She never fails to reply promptly. Haha..

Not only that, she is one whose love for animals is UNMATCHED. Just read her blog. Kudos to her. She goes around chasing strays for hours, jumps into drains, does whatever is neccessary for strays that really need help. WOW. A rare, rare, rare, rare breed in the, as quoted by Ing " adobe Abode of Peace ". LOL

You could be members of the Animal Shelter. I along with a few others are already members. For $25 a year. Why not? Im sure the money will be in good hands. I guess the blogs will provide sufficient proof. :)
Here's the form. It was from last year thou'. Don't know whether the form is updated or not already thou'..

To submit the forms, send em to:

A-Fontane Company
Its near/next to Pustaka Remaja. Situated at Delima Satu.
For more info, ask Kirsteen herself. Her details are in the blog as well as on the form itself.

That should be it for now..

Germany - Austria match gonna start soon!

Nite ppl!

happY BirThday to Me!!

A day ago..

Started off the morning with..

Mee Sua

Ing's blog also happen to mention about this. Yes, Hokkien ppl do eat "Mee Sua" during important days such as birthdays.. hahaha

exactly 24 hours ago, this was what happened.. Its 7.05 pm to be exact.

Around 20 mins from now,

The Foos arrived first.. "Thank you thank you" for being the earliest hahahahaha.. the ever punctual Foo.. wah .. then suddenly Geok Yi presented me with a gift somemore!

Gift by Foo and Geok Yi
Wah! Once again, "Thank you!"

I wanted to let them eat first, but one of my aunties came and said "eh, wait la.. Wait all arrive then we serve".. Ok aunty!

Geok Yi then wanted to see my dog.. Haha.. Thus brought them there.

Not long later.. The UBD's very own Fei Lun Hai (hailing from the EE programme) led by Uncle Ang arrived..

Its your lucky day ladies, the following post will consist of lots of these hawt guys' pics.

Wah.. I was surprised and happy that they all came.. With gifts somemore! More thanks!

Then..

Makan Time!

CK inspecting the soup.
Ling wants to be different, looks like he's gonna use his hands to eat .. Hahaha

Then.. the 2 Chabo arrived..

Hmm.. Maybe this caused Ling to get shy.. Look at the pic for proof!

Not long later.. Mr and Mrs Kevin arrived..

While they were eating, I went to have a peek at my cake which has just arrived.

In box. So large till hafta cover 2 normal cake boxes!

Open the box!


My largest birthday cake ever! What does it resemble?

Aww.. Im shy

A lil' less shy + Eve's "Focus your shot on me, cameraman" pose..
PS: Kev where you looking at ah?!!!

Then the usual Birthday song.. Wow.. Haven't heard it sang for me for a long time already!

At the end of the singing..

Blow! Kasian the ppl at the back squeezing by the side.. Soli soli..

Then..

Front view - cake cutting view

Side view - cake cutting .. hahaha

I see empty plates...

Smile smile! :)

Believe it.. CK plays Winning Eleven.. Ohh, he ended with 4 red cards though' hahaha

If I'm not wrong, Foo and Geok Yi went home after this...

Then, off went the lights, what's next??

CK performing a number

Kah Wee - the first of UBD's Fei Lun Hai to grab hold of the mic

Guess Chee Huat needs a comfy sofa in order to sing

Those were the guys.. what were the chabo doing ah?

Walao.. look at Ing so serious! Whereas Shy Ni with the "Gaming so fun yah" pose

Ehh wait.. where's d other chabo ah? hahaha.. Ohh here..

Showing her "sexy" legs LOL

Back to the guys,

Ahh.. these 2 remaining, "No singing , no go back .. I don't care"

After much persuasion, the result:

Sui Chieh to Ling: "Walao, why u stealing my lines?"

Sui Cheah obediently looks at the camera, then WHOOPS!
Notice where his mic went? hahaha.. Kah Wee feeling it.. haha

Singing with full emotions
Me, awed..

At the end of the day - My gifts.

Lastly, I had a great time last night. Thanks for coming to those who had come. I really really appreciate it. Sorry chabos + Kev, I realised you all were sitting on the floor nia last night!
To those who didnt come, thanks for greeting me thru' sms and etc.. To those who I din invite, sorry, it will be most likely due to the "no-halal" food reason or some sort of unfortunate reason I guess.. Or if I happen to forget, sorry yah.. cause it was all last minute actually.

OK, time for the end of this very long post..

Till then.. :)

s n t wk!

Yeah you have seen it over and over again.. balik balik.. sama title eh?!

Yep, I was involved in the S&T week which sadly ended today with a fiery feasty Counter-Strike session in which I managed to get over a 100 kills for the first time ever coz I'm usually anti-CS.

Professor Foo demo-ing with the Wii controller


One of the activities.. card sorting

Overall, it was very fun, happy, tiring and even has one of my most embarassing moments ever I think!

Do look at Chee Huat, CK, Ing and Geok Yi's blog for info. and the pics taken throughout the week

The OGDC booth had this cool game, its called Magic Pen. You ppl should try it! Click on the link.

Anyways, for the first time ever, the CS department had this brilliant idea to organize a challenge similar to AXN's Amazing Race, which was called the "CS Amazing Challenge". It involved solving challenges after challenges in the shortest time possible. Of course, the team that clocks the least time will win!

We as volunteers on the other hand were handed tasks to organize a challenge. The challenge that I was in charge of along with Hazwan is the Biology Challenge. What does it involve? Hoho.. running around the bamboo garden (whatever it is called) near FOS, recording all the different species of bamboos(Miss one bamboo type, go back to search it! No cincai hahahaha) and also finding and collecting 5 of a type of dry fruit.

The bamboos!

Whoa.. We required participants to write the Scientific Name.. Not the Malay one hahaha!

The undisputed "most common" species of bamboo - Every team found this


Now.. the evil bamboo that caused most teams to go back
searching the whole field.. MUAHAHA

Surprisingly, a lot of ppl never knew that there were these labels in UBD! Some even thought Hazwan and I were the ones who placed those labels. haha

Overall, the CS Amazing Challenge is a brilliant idea, and I would really wanna be a part of it as a participant instead of a volunteer if I had the chance to! It looks really fun!

Oh, the embarassing moment...

What happened?

There was this trick whereby the performer can so-called "read what number is in your mind"
It is actually based on binary, thus the link with our booth.

Heh.. after much persuasion from some of my mates, I decided to try it on some innocent looking primary kids which happened to stop by. Muahaha.. "Show off time"

Me: Ok, "Pick a number between 1 - 63 ok? Remember it, and don't say it out aloud ok?"

Kid: Nods

*Magician wannabe me does all the steps required by this trick. Ok, should be correct liao eh.. "
* Then does a facial expression which makes it seem that I was thinking hard...

*Ok, enough liao la, now the Moment!

Me: Hmm.. Your number is xx ?!

* The crowd went silent, looking at the kid for the "WA!" and open-mouth look..

0.5 sec... No effect, maybe he thinking lar..
1.0 sec.. Still no effect, maybe he too shocked to even respond.. HAHHAA
1.5 sec.. HE SHOOK HIS HEAD!
2.0 sec.. I realised that that is a NO!
2.2 sec.. The crowd burst into laughter and my faced was flushed with this warm hot rush .. ahahaha

Few sec later..

Me: okok! I did it on purpose. Come let me try it again.. *Eyeing on the kid's friend
Me: OK Ready? Pick a number from 1 - 63 ah..

Thru' the steps again...

Hahaha.. this time sure correct for sure.. I did it far more slower..

Ok, on to the last step..

Take a deep breath, pauses..

Me: "Your number must be xx?!"
Kid's fren: nO!

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Same responses after that.. Gosh.. Lucky Mr Chong came in and saved the day, and make sure the trick really do work..

Conclusion: Bern, u lousy trick performer!

Speechless.. LOL

Ok, end of post

Good day people!
