the little cute shy lion

hello everyone. everytime i post, i seem to start off by apologising for not updating so often. and today's post is no exception. ':) sorry for not posting. it's been a hectic week with exams and stuff.. but for now, i can rest a tad bit cause my next exam is next week..so, last weekend, i unwound by going to my favourite place - london brunei hall! hehe. it seems that i go there almost all the time.. well, too much i think cause a few of the new people there thought i was actually a PR there! haha!

on saturday, the brunei hall people organised a charity sale. it was like a garage sale with some of the money going to charity. food was also sold there, which was the main reason for my london visit that time.. hehe. it was a very fun day. and my most favourite part was the face painting! kids come and can get their face painted for just 50p. haha! it wasn't like a professional work by a hollywood make-up artist though but the kids were still happy with the outcome. and the ones that didn't (believe me, there were some.. haha!) we just gave them some stickers and candy and they were happy as a clam! hehe.

my most favourite customer was this really really cute 3-year-old kid! she was soooo quite and really shy. didn't smile or even say anything. when we were painting her face she kept moving and holding her mommy. when we asked why, she said the paint brushes tickles! awwww... when we finally finished, it was so awesome. we did a decent job but that wasn't the rewarding part. it was when she looked herself in the mirror. she had a huge smile on her face! awwwww...

other things that were happening that day:

there was a 'zakat booth' for people to pay their zakat. and there was an London Brunei Student Society (LBSS) registration booth. it's a society that organises functions and activities of major events for the other students. i would join but seeing that i'm in southampton, i wouldn't be able to contribute that much. but they noticed that every time that i come over, i helped them out. so, they decided to make me a member anyway! haha! so yes, i'm in LBSS now and will be an usher in the upcoming raya celebration in london! ':)

thanks for the great weekend guys!
