backyard movie

i know i said i wouldn't write any post for a while but i just could not resist to share something with all of you! a few days ago, i came back home from an afternoon outing. i noticed a few cars parked at my house and people standing around outside. at first, i thought they were my dad's friends but this time, there were a lot more people than the usual visits. then i saw something on the car that made me go, "omigosh!". on the car was the emblem of RTB! my imagination ran wild as i parked the car.
sightings of bigfoot!
aliens crash landed!
dinosaur fossils found!
or better yet.. there was a murder!
no wait! there was a murder and they found a body in my backyard!

but then all my wild ideas came crashing down like my alien imagination. i recognised one of them. it was the famous kedayan actor. ummm.. i don't know his name but he's on tv sometimes. he's tall and a bit fair. i hope you guys know who i'm talking about.. anyway, they were actually there to film
a movie or a tv episode. by the clothes they were wearing, i assumed it was a 'pendekar' movie. apparently, my backyard was the perfect site to film at, with the huge rocks and jungle background. i'm really into film making, so i kept looking out my window and see what they were doing.
it was really cool. they were there for the whole afternoon and finally stopped when it started to rain.
ofcourse, i took pictures.. it's not everyday that you get to see a movie made in your very own backyard..







i'm pretty sure this is biggest thing that has ever happened at my home! it even beats the time when a complete stranger came and prayed outside our house! ':s but that's a whole other story.. anyway, look out for this movie or episode in theaters near you! (or on brunei tv..)

later guys!

time for work

i have been bumming for more than a month now and it has been great! but ofcourse, good things must come to an end.. i got the inevitable call the other day from the office.. "time to go to work!"
yup.. i'm going off this 11th.. for how long? 3 months, i would think.. am i looking forward to it? nope. never have been and never will..
so, this is probably my last post for a very long time. i shall try my very best to update when i go ashore.. although, there won't be much to share other than work related stories..

bye for now everyone!

my annoyances

hello to you, my reader. apologies for no recent updates on me and my fascinating life. for it is just the opposite of that. NOT fascinating. if i had written about my routine of the past week, my post would be me blabbing about what i had for breakfast and how i was on a quest to find something worthy to watch on the box of moving picture. so, you should thank me for not updating and spared you the agony.

but today is different. i actually have something to write about. my annoyances. why? a few things.. i've been in a few too many annoying situation recently. the specifics of it will be disclosed as to not escalate things, which would be really unnecessary. and from this, it made me think about all the other things that annoys me. so here it is! sham's list of annoyances!

1. an itchy nose
yes, i shall start things off with something really silly. and i am not kidding! i tend to get these itchy fits on my nose! not quite sure how. sometimes it starts when i eat something (not sure what) and other times it's from stress.. but yes, when my nose itches, i get annoyed.

2. the urge to pee
oh yes.. another stupid one but one i hate most! all of you know this feeling very well and some might even share this annoyance with me.. it's especially annoying when i have something important to do but have to stop just because nature calls. and i have the smallest bladder in the world, so you can just imagine how very annoyed i can be in uk, (in freezing temperature) and likes to drink diet coke!

3. spoilers
if you really want to tick me off, just do this.. go watch a movie or a tv episode that i really want to watch but haven't, and then spoil it for me! it's stupid to some, i know.. but i love my entertainment. i love going to movies and i love just sitting back and watch a good episode of lost. i love the twists and turns of the stories. so, please.. do you want me to like you? keep your mouth zipped!

4. pink shirts
yup. i've emphasized this before and i'm going to emphasize it again! guys wearing pink annoys me! it doesn't matter if it's a pink shirt, or a pink cap, or pink shoes.. whatever! pink does not look good on guys - period! i don't care if it's the latest fad or how it's not a sexist colour anymore! in my book, it's still not right. i know a few of my friends out there thinks it'll be funny to give me something pink for my birthday.. i warn you now.. it won't be funny for me. so please, please, PLEASE don't even dare!

i guess those are my major annoyances.. i can think of a few more things but that'll make my post long and long posts annoys me..

i'm out!

home sweet home?

i'm back in brunei.. it's bitter sweet for me really.. things were just about to get really interesting and fun over in england. by now, my friends that i planned to go to rome with should be there by now. i hope their flight was a good safe one. i hope you guys have fun over there without me. i miss you guys loads already..

anyway, i've been back for a whole day now! my flight was ok. before i left for the airport, iffah and i stayed up the whole night! so, it didn't take me long to go to sleep on the plane. usually, everytime on the plane, there would always be something that'll annoy throughout the flight.. a crying baby is the most common one. this time it wasn't a screaming infant.. you'd think there's nothing more annoying than that right? wrong.. coughers. the dreaded coughers are the next most annoying thing on a plane.. and guess what? sitting on the opposite aisle to me was a whole family of coughers! sigh.. i have no idea what was wrong with the family of four.. it was like they were sitting behind the plane's jet propeller! they were coughing like mad! thankfully, i was too out of it and couldn't hear them struggling for breath.

arrived in HOT brunei.. sweated (for the first time in 4 months) just as soon as i got off the plane! ali picked me up and had a quick lunch. we caught up. a few interesting things happend between us. it was good seeing ali again.

anyway, i'm off.

ugghh..

hello folks.. a new twist to the whole 'me going back home' thing.. i just received an email from the office.. my flight won't be on the 19th.. it's on the.... wait for it... 17th! which means, i'm going home the day after tomorrow! ':s again, i am far from thrilled by this turn of event.. annoyed is more like it..

anyway, i'm in southampton (AGAIN for the 2nd time this week) to gather my things and going back to london later.

so, i'll see you guys in brunei sooner than expected!
