Holiday again! hike, food and... ops...

It's another holiday again! I have finally finished my exams and starting to enjoy my holidays. What has everyone been doing lately? Do I still have any loyal readers around? There sure has a few somewhere... Don't get disappointed to visit here during my holidays... I don't think I ever missed blogging during holidays? Just... I don't think I would post like everyday ? It seems boring to share what I have done on the same thing for almost everyday.

In the month of december, it is a traveling period. Lots of people are traveling this month or even had travelled nor soon to travel. My brothers and sister are so enjoying their life. One to singapore, another to kl, coming to kk ... How about me? I will just be sitting around in the corner, staring at them, waving to say goodbye and safe flight to their trip. How pity... But never mind, Brunei is not bad as well... I drove around in Miri just now. This time, I wasn't accompanied by my parents nor siblings. After sending my sis and bro in law to airport, it's all my world now. Of cos, I brought emily for company if not everyone would be worried of me at miri. xp Felt so good I can drive independently in Miri because I could get to the journey i want and never get lost. hoho!

I wasn't afraid of the cars in Miri but motorcycle. They were so dangerous slipping here and there and never even make signals when they wanted to turn from fast to slow lane or slow to fast lane. I guess most of the car drivers took 100% attention on motorcycles. 

Although holiday is a great time to relax and rest, don't forget to do exercises to keep your body fit! Before my semester break, I had been hiking at shahbandar once every week at bandar. The first week can't get used to our stamina, and challenge 5 mountains. Second week we challenge 7 mountains! Actually I think 7 mountains wasn't as hectic as 5 mountains. Because 5 mountains ran through lots of steps. I would recommend 7. As time passes by, eager for more. 9 mountains! 

This is the place where you gonna pass through if you decide to climb for 9 mountains. I didn't get to finish 9 but 8. We skipped one mountain through a shortcut. Everyone gets tired i guess. Anyway, the most important we must stick together with each other and not to leave anyone far far behind. There was once during hike, we lose one of our group members.. especially when he was the leader! He was behind us and got lost. We were so worried if he got tripped, slipped or even fell down, instead he used other road and meet us up in front.

And... never leave your handphone behind at car or anywhere because if you got lose, it wouldn't be the end of the world. You still can call up bomba for help. After that incident, I brought my hp along with me. I wanted to challenge 11 mountains... sooner or later? It was super tiring, but worth with the excitement... 

Am I seeming a bit long gas tonight? Write more when I only blog once a while. =P

I had high tea at miri secret recipe today. It was a great one... By purchasing a slice of cake and get a coffee or tea for free! i had tiramisu and flat white. Although the cake was sweet but it matches the coffee and melt the cake all over my mouth... wow... haha

Sorry for the blurry pictures taken by my lousy camera phone. It could be the most precious one whenever nobody had a camera for pictures... 2 cakes, one belongs to tiramisu and another chocolate fudge. Cake is just ok because tiramisu only cream with cake and no mascarpone cheese nor any cheese lol... but matches the coffee... Any cakes with coffee is da best! The cake only RM 6.50 for this big slice! 

Something's not going right? What the hell happened to my hair... !

Essay break time!

Another new post here, I should be doing my assignment and why am I here blogging? Let's have some break after finishing my... how many words have i done? 72 out of 3000 words essay! hehe. I just done with the first paragraph, or maybe no. Some more sentences to be added but really lazy to think about it. It's just due next monday. Enough timing? sup sup lo... haha as if really enough time? 

There's something about me to share. Even though I start early with my essay writing, i will never finish my essay early. I will wait until the very last minute? I wonder why... I might afraid that I have some points that I have missed out. So i don't really dare to finish up essay, especially a 3k words essay in just one day time. Finish early, enjoy early?

What happened to the world lately? What happened to Brunei lately? Firstly, it all started with the burning of forest and the hazy weather with all the haze to be found especially in kb and seria. After the haze thingy, Brunei start to black out. This black out was different from last time. I felt really really hot compare to last time. Luckily not most part of the area black out, during the power off in my area, there was electric current in town and so there's an escape from this hotness at home. After the blackout incident? the heavy rain and strong wave in offshore. And so on?

I mentioned about no bed in my previous post rite? Great news my bed arrived after that post. Will there be a possibility they came to read my blog and so provide me a bed? hehe. And the bad news, not used to the bed in the room, and I got knocked here and there. Bruises appeared around my knee. Haha! Probably the bed is not good enough, they should mold the edges so i won't get knocked off. Why people complain here and there. Because humans have unlimited wants and never satisfied? It's normal for me to get knocked actually. Just accept the fact that why am I being so clumsy.

And there's one more thing, why are there so many troublesome people around? Where do they came from anyway? Whenever i ask the boys if they want to give their wife work after married. Some of them would answer no because they want their wife to enjoy life, they can do shopping whenever they want. If not catch some tea and chill with friends. What if they are bored with the shopping mall in Brunei. People can get fade up with shopping very soon. What if friends do not have the time to chill and chat with. What can they do? Housewife is not always a good job, what if their child grew up,  or whenever they don;t have kids to take care yet. Some people like to find troubles. Should say, the troublemaker. Because they are too bored of their perfect life and want to add some arguments with the people around. This is the time where "san gu liu po" arise, gossiping around. Anyway, this do not apply to every housewife, just certain people around. 

 The world is never peaceful with these troublemakers...

Gosh! gotta continue my essay!

Mid semester break 2009.

It's another holiday again! This is my mid semester break. Sadly the holiday only last for 1 week time. My timetable is getting more and more free, but workload is getting higher and higher. Presentations and assignments are really killing me. I'm looking forward for my next holiday, december probably. 

Hostel life is getting not bad. There were times where me and my hostel mates get together and have some cook. We had lots of steamboat together, with fish ball, wantan, hotdogs, crab meat as well as tanghoon. We did cook spaghetti , but it doesn't as nice as how pizza hut and capers but can compete with cheeze box. haha! Oh, and not to forget shaperd pie, claypot rice as well as tuna burger. These are the best food ever in hostel!

There is a bad new about my room. The government's working process are really really slow. Hostel is currently incurred with lack of bed. And sadly, I am the unluckily ones to have chosen a room without a bed. They just provide me with a mattress and pillow on the floor. I have been staying in that room for about 3 months time, but the bed haven't even arrived!!! I complained it again before i left for the mid semester break, they said they have ordered it, the first round has arrived but not enough to give out. So there would have a second round. I hope when i get back from my holiday, i could see a bed in my room. But I have a feeling i might sleep on the floor for the rest of the year. 

The pictures below are the last few pictures i could take from my phone camera. My camera application is now no longer working. After my camera's incident, i accidentally dropped my phone really really hard till the screen appeared with scratches. And the scratches are getting bigger and bigger each day. I gonna get a phone sooner or later... 

These are the clay pot rice we had at hostel. It was done by debbie. Don't just see the black black colour, it's the best clay pot rice, even better than the one my mum made.

Anyone interested in doing business? I went to this talk at holiday lodge hotel, it's the guideline to lead you to the direction of success. By selling Amway product, you can reach the target of early retirement, and enjoying life with the family. If you want to success, first of all, you have to think big, and dream big. So you can reach that target!

The last picture i manage to get from my w800i.

I think i gained weight. With lots of ramadhan buffet around, my mum even said i look meaty now.

random stuffs

Good Morning everyone! A short update from me before i go to bed. I have several ideas on what to blog days ago but when it came to writing, everything gone blank. Ahhh... Let's talk about H1N1. Did anyone taken good care of their health? H1N1 is getting really serious in Brunei. What's the current situation? More than 250 cases incurred? And 1 died. But don't be panic if any of you catch the virus, this sickness got cure. I wonder if sars got any cure? 

Compare between H1N1 and MJ died, which has the hotter news? 

Holiday makes me getting lazier and lazier each day. But I only able to sleep this long hours during holiday. I love holidays! Sad news... It's ending real soon... Left 3 more weeks to uni reopen? 3 weeks passes really fast. And back to hostel in 3 more weeks time? stay inside a hot room without any good food like nuggets, fries. My dad bought me an air cooler, hopefully i would live cooler during the next sem. No no... The lists to hostel haven't even come out. I'm not accepted to stay at hostel yet. Hoping hostel don't want me? And i rent outside? lol. no no... Not a good idea. If i stay outside, i couldn't wake later to uni. And all the friends are in hostel. So hope hostel wants me. I don't have any bad records. Just that i didn't get to attend much of their activities... Last sem i attended once? or twice? sigh...

I'm getting hungry. Supper every night! Supper is always the best time ever before getting to bed. But its kind of fattening? Doesn't matter as long as you know how to control yourself, eat more now, but lesser later. haha... It's late, don't think i would wanna cook mee, a drink would do. That's all for now, hope you guys enjoy reading... 

Boring times..

Good morning, it's 2a.m in the morning. I'm bored here and started blogging. Holidays are getting boring. Know what i have been doing? I sleep from 2 or 3a.m till the next day at 1p.m. Sometimes I have my breakfast cereals for lunch. People say skipping breakfast is bad for health? I'm not skipping my breakfast, just delaying it to lunch hour for breakfast. So is it still bad for health? I'm very healthy anyway. 

I have been watching dramas to kill my bored hours. I wonder why i watched for so many days and it never finish. Getting bored of dramas. Wanting to buy some movies to watch. 

I'm lacking of exercises. A balanced diet must incur with some exercises? Please date me for exercise. I know many sports, any sport will do just don't ruby.

I have been reading my previous posts and I found it funny. Mee goreng and slapping flies? Get cheated? washing machine? what the heck... Anyway, these are great memories. If i did not write it down, I may have forgotten it. 

Last few weeks I have been bringing around my cousins and relatives from johore to visit in Brunei. We stopped by the polo club for the horses. I have the earliest arrival and while waiting for others, i took a picture with one of the horses. Polo Club really has lots of horses, white, black or brown. I don't see any red ones. The horse got shy and don't dare to face the camera. 

They should be great living in Brunei. Brunei is prohibited for gambling. There wasn't any running competition for these horses? If I am not mistaken, they play soccer? kick the ball around. 

One picture from me. And Happy Holidays! =)

ZzzzZZz

I had an embarrassment day!!!!!!!! sob sob sobbbbbbbbbbbbb.... I was sooooooooooo malu mannnnnnnnnnnn....  It was my fault. I shouldn't play around.... sighhhhh....

I won't write out my embarrass stuff. This is one public area later everyone laugh at me. bleh...

I started my 3 months holidays. That's really long holiday. What should i do with it? It's getting boring each and each day passed. I felt so useless sleeping all day. The more i sleep the more tired i am. 

I'm soooo lazy now..... ZzzZZzzz

Back to Tomboy yen.

Wow... how much is the thickness of dust in this blog? Let you guys guess. If guessed correctly got gift. I was being lazy recently and don't know what to update to my blog.

Nowadays weather is getting hotter and hotter. Don't you guys think so? I don't think any of you realized. Air con room people. lol. Someone like me, stay inside hostel without air con, with the healthy environment, sleep with window opened almost everyday now when i was there. Last semester i don't sleep with window open. Am i getting braver? hoho. 

I wonder why is my face getting worse every time i live hostel.  

Oh.. Have i mentioned it yet? I have officially changed my name from Rachel to Tiffany. How do you guys think? Rachel Chiam? or Tiffany Chiam? Tiffany Chiam sounds better... lol.

Eating outside food days and days really fade me out! With calories counting, i thought i maintain myself but who knows... my weight are gaining terribly! Taking too much of Ajinamoto can make your hair fall off. For those who have thick hairs, i would advise them to take in more ajinamoto. bleh... 

I miss my last semester's hostel life where everyone gather together to make good food, chit chatting as well as laughing together. But now... ... sigh~

My final exams if i am not mistaken, is getting near in just one month time. I need to work hard especially in my M.I.B and ethics. Nearly end of semester, assignments and presentations come to date me. I wouldn't have time to date people lo... haha... 

I have turned back to the tomboy yen as before. This time my hair is even shorter than last time. Ok ok. I try to be boyish.

Update

School has already started since few weeks ago, my timetable is going stable. I scheduled my free day on thursday, so that i can come back on wednesday after class and stay home on thursday and friday. Saturday will be my tiring day lo. Class till afternoon... I was thinking it was good to have class on saturday. I can enjoy after class. hoho.

I have already cut my fringe. It was not a nice one. The don't know shampoo girl or hairstylish or who ever dunno how to cut hair, helped me to cut my fringe to really really short. Let me explain the whole story. At first the women ask me whether I want layer or straight. I said i want layer. I told her the shortness till eyebrow or up a very little bit. Then she help me cut lo.. It was alright at first.. I think ok ok only... her cutting skill not good whenever she first cut liao. Then she talk talk to me, and told me cut straight nice and it's very trendy. Like keep advertise cut straight. I really thought her way of straight should be better than the layer lo... At the same time, the layer not ok... So i ask her to change to straight.

Who knows... It comes !@#$%^&*().... So damn ugly and short. Finally i ask her to cut back to layers lo... She herself advise me (indirectly) said that during cny it will grow longer, and become nice. -_- ... That means she herself thinks not nice as well. Even the layer she cut back for me is !@#$%^&*(). The other day morning i can't seems to wait for my hair to grow... i cut it myself... with more layers. I satisfy my cutting skills.

The girl who helped me to cut hair, she loosed her scissor and it fell down. She can't even hold her scissor tightly!!! really shake head la. A good hairstylish should tell customer of which shortness or level of fringe is suited.. If not, at least be cut " xiang yang yi dien". A good hairstylish can even cut a nice fringe even though it's a really short one.

Enough with my complains la.

There are lots of gossips and rumors regarding insects being found in mandarin orange. This leads to people don't dare to buy or eat mandarin orange. Price dropped approximately 15% compared to last year. From what i heard from those aunties, they said many people got sicked because of this incidence, many people caught cough and visit the hospital. The more worse, insects were found in mandarin oranges because in china, due to earthquake, many people were killed in the natural disaster, they used the dead people as fertilizer.

I am here to clarify that, not worries eating mandarin oranges during chinese new year. I have surfed the net, those insects oranges were only found in 四川. And they were already demolished. The oranges sold at supermarket were from lu chow or somewhere thousand miles away from 四川. If they were not alright, many countries will use law to sue them or even ban it. People caught sick may due to the terrible weather. It's raining all day long with flooding around... It's normal to see insects in apple, mango or even durians. Why is it abnormal in mandarin orange?

Anyway, Happy Chinese New year to everyone. Hope u guys have a great year.. receive ang paos.. play blackjack... wuuuuu... haha.
