one more week

it's 11:30pm now and i am completely rejuvenated from yesterday's long and eventful day. after waking up early yesterday, i wanted to go out and do something but i didn't know where to go and had nothing in mind to do. then, i recieved a call that would change all that. dee called me asking for a favour. she needed to do some errands that morning and i was more than happy to help. it also gave me a chance to spend some time with an old friend. ':) so off we went with a list in hand. did some grocery shopping and we found everything except for that elusive pisang emas. although.. it didn't help that both of us didn't even know what pisang emas looks like, there weren't ANY type of bananas around. so, the search for the yellow fruit was abandoned. the whole errand didn't take us long to finish. it was too bad cause i was having fun just hanging out.

after sending dee home, i went back to pick up my sister from school. i didn't even kill the engine and was out the door again. this time, mash called me up asking for a favour. she wanted company as she goes around trying to fix her car's headlight. we had lunch at manjaro and met up with ikram there. we then wasted time in gadong, which mash & i sighed cause we both were getting really sick of that place. but we went around there anyway since that was the only place remotely exciting in brunei. we then dropped ikram off and headed out to bandar to get mash's.. wait for it.. B$50.00 worth of satay! how much is that?

B$1.00 = 4 sticks
B$50.00 = 200 sticks!!

anyway, we went around the area but the stall that we were told about was still empty. after going around a few times, we finally went around and asked. we finally hjh halimah! (is that the right name, mash?) there were so many satay, it had to be put in a cake box! why so many? for the bbq that night!

finally, i was home. i had an hour nap before going off again to pick up my dad from the airport. as soon as i sent him home, i went straight to mash's place. the bbq was awesome! i'm sure mash has all the detail in her blog so, i shall just leave that part out. but here's the day's detail that i won't leave out!

funniest thing happened while i was with mash. don't worry mash.. i'm not gonna mention the thing you hit with the back tyre of your car.
she asked me how her driving was..
"it's actually really good for a girl" i answered.
she glares at me. "that's a pretty stereotypical thing to say.."
"no, i'm just saying.. you're a good driver. better than normal women.. infact, you're practically a guy!"

hahaha! i just thought that was hilarious.. couldn't have been funnier if it was thought up by a stand-up comic. hehe. you know i luv u mash.. hehe.

anyway, that's it from me.. i would've put in more details but i post is long enough. oh yeah.. to dee: this is what the elusive banana looks like.
