I love BJ

I mean which normal man doesn't? Well with exception to those that unfortunately their *that* doesnt rise. Duh. Common sense yeah.

4 papers down, another 5 more papers! Sheesh. Revision's getting mundane. So I had to find a way to chill my possibly chaota brain of mine.

God..

.

Music.. boring..

.

Youtube... nah...


.

Games.. too addictive (might rack up too much valuable time) ..


.

Hmm..



So that was it. I decided to have my first ever BJ!


Just like what they say "Was so good..."


.


.


.


Was so good till I thought I had to announce it on my Facebook.


What's wrong with Hadri?! Disturbing? Err.. I don't see anything wrong.


Ah well besides Facebooking it, it was so good that I need to take a pic of it.


Oh well, what are the harms of even sharing it! So..

TRUTH! :

My 1ST EVER BJ!

Ben & Jerry's are sold over here in Glasgow. Thought I should have a try. No regretting. Yummy! DQ move aside please. Its not too sweet unlike Swensens. I hadn't had a go at the freshly made BJs yet.

I remembered asking Uncle Huat when we once came across a BJ store at the mall,

Me: "Huat you wanna try BJ ma?".
Huat: *eyebrow raised*. "Wah, betang la Bern. Say till like that".
Me: *Walao eh* "Brunei betang try man. Got chance must try liao!".
Huat: *'Ya hor, my laopei always at home' thoughts. "Betang la Bern. Hai~"

Hahahaha..

That was Huat and Hadri. So..

Err what were
you (Yes you the one who's reading it)
thinking while reading this??!!!!!

Oh,

PS : The *that* above refers to "insulin" if you haven't figured it out. If insulin level don't rise, you are DIABETIC. Thus, diabetic = No icecream aka NO BJ!

The slightly weird CS world..

Spring Spring Spring!!

The sun don't set till 9pm!! But gee.. Glasgow's still COLD!!!

Exams are looming.. and are getting nearer n nearer! How's ur revision people??? Hahaha.. I feel I have wasted lots of valuable time coz I always ended up taking way too much time than allocated for each study break! Oh well, anything said now abt revision is pointless I guess. The grades(Shyt, bless me!) would determine the effectiveness of the revisions.

Anyways, here are a few WEIRD stuff from the world of CS(which are in my lecture notes & reference text) :

The hatred:-

CS Scientists have a grudge on philosophers?

The evil :-

Hahaha.. suicide, die. What terms to use. LOL
The whole class couldn't help but laugh when the lecturer reached this topic. Hhahaha..

The weird and cheeky :-

Not that dude's bad smells.. It meant bad smelling code. Hahaha
And.. Hahahahah "Inappropriate intimacy". Poking ard others' private parts!!! LOL!

Happy revising and good night people!! =)

the best damn actor ever!

The title goes to Chris Tucker!! His large eyes, crazily high-pitched voice and mad stuff he does/do never fails to make me laugh no matter how many time u replay his clips hahhaha..

Below are some of his funny clips which are sure to make u crack! Pls do take some time to see ALL the clips below. I promise you it'll definitely brighten up ur day!




A clip from Rush Hour 3. I think this is the funniest part of the movie! LOL



LOL! He's d one who directed the traffic wrongly, and he still scolds em but asks whether his bro's ok! LOL



LOL.. I like the "Everyone dun panic" part.. LOL! NUTS!



Tucker singing a Jacko song!



Damn look at Jacko at the end of clip! LOL

I don't know why he ain't acting in more movies thou'. Man I think he deserves the Oscar or whatever movie awards there is.. He's the man!

Molested!

No kidding! I was MOLESTED!

HAHAHA..

No, Im not drunk. Yes, I might be a exaggerating a bit..

So what happened?

It all started out as a normal night, except the fact that ahh.. We had dinner in a Chinese restaurant in Glasgow for the 1st time ever! For the 1st time ever, we decided to ignore those prices n just go makan!

Hoho... Guess how much was it? 39.70 pounds! After conversion, 87 BND ?! And what did that include? Shark fins? Abalones? NO.. Maybe scallop? No too! Hahaha

We had emm a duck in plum sauce dish, that had about 9 small sliced pieces(I think 3 were just mere duck skin) that cost 9.20 pounds! Phew...

Well what to do, that's life in the other countries. Plus its food! Emm.. It is under the 'wants' categories, like you learnt from 3 yrs of Commerce from F1 to F3. Thus, penting lar! Besides, one of Bernard's theories is that he does not save very much on food. Well that does not mean its right to go into a posh restaurant for dinner every night. Once-in-a-while pampering does no harm.

Oh, back to the molesting thing. Haha.. It happened after dinner when we decided to do some grocery shopping. Well, what do you get when you live in a place where alcohol is legal and where alcohol/liquour whatever you call it, is the MUST drink thing for em? You get drunked ppl all over the streets, everywhere!

When you mix around drunks who can roam freely along the streets with the innocents, something is bound to happen. Well, I was at the till when suddenly this 2 lao ang mo zhar bor just barge in. Walao.. Scary la. Those 2 singing so loud somemore. What the hell? LOL.. They paid for their stuffs when the casheir was halfway working on our stuff. Wow.. this is the first time I saw such a thing. Thought that was the end but NO!

Before leaving, one of em, just went "Wow, gorgeous hair" and sort of played around with the back of my hair. Walao, eww gali la.. Cilaka, si beh soi. Its a fact already. The first chabos that touched me in Glasgow are drunk lao char bos! AHHH! Hahahaha

Anyways decided to seek console from a good buddy of mine who happened to be on MSN. Here's what he said:


Oh noes!! Huatz might have a fetish for old women!! AHH! Beware ppL!

Nites..

Wet, Gloomy, Dark and Windy

Today's weather is definitely the gloomiest amongst the days that I was here. Not only that, the wind seems to be in full force too. Not to say, accompanied by rain. Reminds me of the 2nd day after I arrived, where I was greeted by a dark dark morning.

source

Anyways, I had an early break from school today (because class was cancelled!). Ohh, the early break I meant was 2 pm right after a team meeting session. 2 pm!! I believe that isn't the case back home (applies to my year+course only I guess). If this was back home, 2 pm meant going to Lee Loi Fatt for ABC and Rojak liao. My classes schedule has been nasty so far.. lol.. My classes end at 4 pm on a daily basis! Just like those year 1 days where my schedule seem to be super packed. Anyways good thing is, majority of my days start at 11 am. Heh, even the earliest class in the whole uni starts at 9 am. 8am is an obsolete time for classes here Haha..

Right after school, I rushed back excitedly as I had a DATE.

source

No not with some Scottish hottie la.. Blame Chee Huat, he too hiong liao.. LOL. The DATE I meant was a video call back home! It was a first for me and my family as our house's Internet has been successfully restored ever since our house's modem broke down. It was great being able to see them in motion and not only in images and sounds. Besides, this was the ideal time to be able to chat, as it was around 9pm at that time, and I'm rarely home during this time.

Besides, interacting with my family and all, I also tried calling for my beloved pet, Husky(that's his name) to see if he still remembered me. You know what? He did! From the webcam, I saw him jumping up from his sleep, run towards my door, and looked around for me, just like how he always welcomed me when I return home. His tail was wagging wildly too. Mom also told me that he even skipped his meals for the first 2 days I left. He's one of the most manja-est, cutest and smartest dog I have ever known, and of course I miss him badly. Sobs..I feel sorry for him for giving him false hope that I was already back. I hope he doesn't miss me too much, just like how I missed him. I just can't wait for the day I return to squeeze him in a hug. Sorry ppl for the eww-ness in this para, I just can't help it. I love dogs! Just seeing em, is a major joy to me already. I dunno why, but it just brightens my day! Thank you God for them..

Its 6.37 pm already. What else? Dinner time, before that, cooking time.

source

If you're a non-cooker and you're abroad alone(w/o family that is), one of the damnest thing you'll realise and learn is, appreciate the food your mom puts on your table! Do not complain! No no.. Need more emphasis.. DO NOT COMPLAIN!! Its not the easiest of things, to take trouble to go out to buy food, buy the right amount that you need so that you don't go back to the supermart every 2 days or less(just like what me and my housemates are always doing.. ), think what you're gonna eat for dinner, how you're gonna cook it, the ingredients, how long so that sudah 'masak', correct proportions, cook already nyaman or not, so on and so forth..

Anyways to cap it off,

Moral of the story:
Appreciate Rojak and ABC if you're going to the Western World
Learn how to use Skype, cause video-caming here is far better than MSN
Appreciate the food, your parents put on the table for you.
Cooking is one of the most important skill you should acquire in life, you'll need it sooner or later.

Satu Roti Telur

I had a bad experience today at a restaurant.

Nah murtabak somemore lah..

source

Was craving for murtabak, so went to this never-been-to-restaurant.

The manager who was there, served us.

First eww: He took out his handkerchief and blew his nose in it. Put it back.

He went over to the drinks corner, and I realised he was the one who was gonna make ours drinks. OK, nvm, maybe he washed his hands already.

All of a sudden..
source

"HA CHEEEEE!~"

Second eww: The "Ha CHEEE!! " came from the drinks corner. Not once but twiced. Eww.. It was so damn loud somemore! Twice! Above aku punya Teh-C. Walao..

We of course, decided to take the best possible solution under that circumstance rather than abruptly walking out. So we cancelled the drinks, opting for canned drinks instead.

More customers came in the restaurant. Ordered Mee Goreng with Ayam, I suppose. Hoho.. guess who did the chopping of the whole ayam into pieces for the Mee Goreng. THE DAMN UNHYGIENIC Manager!

3rd eww: He held the chicken meat in his bare hands somemore! NO GLOVES! WHAT! Half way through, his nose fluids must have went out of control as he got some tissue and he blew into it ! He then placed the tissue next to the chicken meats, and continued chopping!! No Dettol + water washing of hands leh!

YUCK!

I was starting to lose my appetite then.

Then came the murtabak. Ahh.. Murtabak panas panas. Served by different ppl la. Phew..

4th eww: Sekali, mana tahu, the one who served back, on his walk back sneezed similarly so damn loud! WALAO! I had a feeling the whole restaurant is flu-infected man. What if the chef also kena?!

Of course, Didnt finished my dish.

Paid exactly what we have to pay, as I don't wana have any hand contact with the manager(who was also casheir) in the form of change.

Mr Unhygienic: $4.20

Me: Here
Mr Unhygienic: Thank you. Please do come again.

Eh uncle, look at my unfinished plates and my facial expression la.. Do I look like a satisfied customer who would come back again? LOL

I decided there and then that hygiene is really damn important when considering whether or not to go into a restaurant. Not worth it if go in the restaurant healthy, come out getting sick.

Hmm.. di mana we can get clean Murtabaks ah? (You know how most of these shops look like) C.A. Mohammad looks like a nice, clean place.. Anywhere else?

dear dear postman..

Dear postman,

With a massively heartbroken spirit, I am writing to you to sort things out between us two.

I still remember the day we met. We were from 2 different worlds. However as fate would have it, we met and we were together. I was in a stuffy dark place along with my other species for an awfully long time. Day after day, things looked the same. All I see was darkness. I kept asking myself, how am I going to survive this horrid time. Which part of the planet would I be going to? It was a very depressing period indeed. It was until that very fateful day, when one day, there was this loud noise that awoke me. I opened my eyes and to my delight, I saw light! Yes! My captivity period is over!

A man took me out into a very different environment, which was cool at first, but then got freaking cold after a while. He looked at me for quite a bit. Heh, pervert. Sheesh.. all men are like that. "Just bear a few minutes lar", I said to myself. Me and my mates were then grouped accordingly in different groups. I don't know why though. Maybe I was hotter than the rest. Nevermind that. Anyways your friends took good care after me. All of them. All gave me good strong looks, Im sure they all admired me!

Then the inevitable happened. I was introduced to you by your friend. He sort of said something that I did not understand at all. You were different from your mates thou'. You had something that was different from your mates. They had this black thing on top, that looked like some sort of alienated plant/grass. Some looked like black thorns of cactus. However yours were different. Yours was red and shiny. That was what caught my eye. However looks aren't everything. "Never judge a book solely by its cover", I reminded myself.

It was the actions that count. With warm hands, you held me up and looked into my eyes. You then brought me into a warm place that wasn't as cold as the previous place. The place was filled with my mates. Some old, some new. You seemed to understand me. How could I ask for more I wondered? You provided me with warmth and company. Every now and then, you would even open up the enclosure to give me light and air. Not only that, it seemed that you would bring one of my mates out and put them in different places when you did that.

I thought it was sad at first because slowly each of my friends were leaving. However after a while, I started to understand. You were giving each of us new accomodation.

Some of their accomodation looked like this..

Advantages: Spacious, lots of bright light, fresh air!
Disadvantages: No window

Advantages: Moderate bright light/ fresh air, window
Disadvantages: A lil' smaller

Some more...
Advantages: Shared accomodation thus you have company

Disadvantages: No window, thus dark and window

Some some more...

Advantages: Shared accomodation, not hot
Disadvantages: Window very tiny (keyhole)

Some some some more ...

Advantages: You meet totally new friends in all sorts of forms and shapes
Disadvantages: Smells weird in there

Yay! It's like we are going on vacation! We get to live somewhere else. "Aww.. how sweet of you", I thought.

Patience was all I need for me to be in my new place. I spent the rest of my time fantasizing of my new home. Which one would I be in, etc etc.. My friends were all excited too. Everytime you opened the enclosure, we were all hoping that we were the ones to be selected.

Then the day came. As usual, when the "grrrrr" sound that came from you stopped. That somehow became a signal to us, that you were about to open the enclosure. On the fateful day, you looked around and held up a few of us. You looked at each of us carefully. I guess you were a lil' sad that we will be leaving you. I was sad too. As professional as you were, you placed my friends into their new homes. One by one each were being introduced by their new homes. A few of them, had their tenants welcoming them even! They also blurted out something similar.. Sounded like "Tens postman!". Some were "Ten u postman!" From there on, I knew that your name was 'postman'.

Somehow I was the last on your hands during that time. You looked me once more with the typical look that warms my heart. "Here goes", I said to myself. I was excited and sad at the same time. I could feel my tears coming each time I glance at you. "I couldn't bare it anymore!" I closed my eyes. I did not want to look ugly in front of you with my tears and all that.

Then..

I could feel that I was placed in somewhere a lil' different this time. It was warm at first, then quickly it became hot. It was noisy here. Hah.. Opened my eyes. Whoa.. It was so bright! Wait a minute.. Where are the walls? Where are the windows? Where are my friends? This accomodation definitely looks unlike one! I turned to look for you. Saw you, but you seemed to not hear me at all. I screamed at the top of my lungs for you but still you never turned back to look at me.

I realised you left me all alone in the middle of nowhere. It definitely broke my heart. From now on, I wish not to hear from you anymore Mr 'postman'. I hate you!

Yours truly,
Your neglected letter

PS: Assuming the letter is a female! Hahaha.. This story is a true story. This letter ended in this blog's author's house as shown in this pic. The author also saw the postman doing it with his own bare eyes!!! Plus the author's house had a mail box which was only a few feet from the place where this 'kesian' letter ended at. I don't know. Is this a common practice here in Brunei, where the postmen can somehow did not or cannot spot ur brightly coloured red mailbox for seemingly no particular reason at all?

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I just changed my blog template. I felt the previous one made the text somehow hard to read. I don't know.. Tell me what do you all think? The poll is on the top right hand corner. Let's make this blog a better blog aight?!~ Bleh~ Thankies!

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!

the scary encounter

See.. A number of you have asked me about my encounter with the he-she. hahaha.. So here goes:

It occured around 2 years back. As usual every Thursday, we would gather at Harun Gym (the one at Bandar) to play ball. We would start around 7 pm and finish at around 9+ pm. As you know, the only free parking spots in Bandar are those by-the-building-side-parkings, so in order to save a little, I'd usually circle a few rounds in search of a free spot before going up to the not-free parking lot above the bus station.

Hah.. On this fateful Thursday, I found an empty spot that evening. It was about 2 buildings away, heh.. but I don't mind walking far lah.. Can be a minor warm-up before playing too. So why not?

At 9++ pm, playing time over. Time to head back. Packed, said farewell to the dudes, rode the elevator to the bottom. Then oopz,, I realised my car is 2 blocks away. Walao! Tired already leh..

Hmm.. 2 ways:
1. Longer route. By the road, got streetlights some more.
2. Shorter route. The closest route would be to walk through the dark lorong between buildings.

I took the second route. Wah.. great choice!



Into the darkness..
Walk walk walk.. Hmm.. After a few strides, I looked up.

"Wow", I said to myself. Mcm ada figure walking in this lorong too.



Walking towards my direction kua. I was wearing contacts, thus can't see clearly. Looks like lady eh. High heels, sleeveless shirt some more. What the heck is she doing here ? Should be really dangerous leh, lady.

I looked back to the ground ahead, and something popped in my head. "Eh, the frame of the chabo a lil' weird leh.. Her shoulders seems broad leh.. " So I raised my head up to look in that direction again.
"Oh F**k!", not a girl ah! Walao!

Shyt! I quickly avoided direct eye contact, scared the he-she would think that I'm interested. Choi!

Looked up quickly again! Wah! Really F**k! I realised now that the he-she is heading straight to my direction ah! On-course collision!

I shifted my direction a lil' bit. Wa heck, he-she also shift. Shit!

At this moment, I knew it was inevitable.

I picked up my walking speed. I was really afraid lah.. That he-she was of a bigger frame than me! Me and that he-she in a dark lorong. Distance out of lorong : More than half of lorong left. Who knows what the heck the he-she would do to me! Ahh!

Few more steps, the he-she really closed down. My heart was racing super fast. I just looked forward at the ground and paced forward.

Then the moment, the he-she was right in front of me.

Out from the he-she mouth "Hi, I LOVE YOU" and that gali look.



In my heart, "What the f**K!". I tried to act as calm as possible, and gave the "F**k off" facial expression to the he-she and walk past the he-she and continued at a "Im-busy-dude" pace. I knew that appearing scared or intimidated, would prompt the he-she to disturb me further.

So that was what I did, hoping that he-she would not follow me to my car.

Walk, walk, walk.. Still I dare not turn.

Tried to detect whether there were footsteps from behind.
Hmm.. don't think so.

Still I did not have the courage to look back until I was out of the lorong. Phew.. that he-she was nowhere in sight.

But not sure too lah.. To be safe.. Quick to the car!

Once in the car, haha.. the first thing I did was to lock all my doors..



Start engine, sped off..

That was one of my most scariest moments in my life. I really don't know what to do if that he-she really followed me that night. It was Bandar at night, all the shops close sudah. Me alone. Friends already jalan. Dark lorong where you couldn't see anything clearly. Lucky me.

Moral of the story: Never walk in dark lorongs alone.

LOL.. The end!

PS: Just in case, lorong = alley in English
