. . . continuation of thoughts . . .

assalamualaikum where was i? about spending eh i guess? yeah. d fact dat i get lots of ideas here, yes. n also one true striking fact is that i've never ever done online purchases online. up until now. now its not d fight to purchase everything u can, its d fight to keep my eyes away from things i am able to purchase. gosh. i got an apartment of my own now, yeah, probably u've already been informed. a small studio apartment. the hot plates (tambak or cooking place) is so close to my bed. i have had (n will have) hard times trying to cook, especially frying. this one time, i was frying sardines (yum2, smelly but de-e-licious) it splattered all over d wall n a bit to my sheets. gosh, i was drowned in sardine perfume all night long. i'm still not used to electric hot plates, i'm still into d caveman thing of using fire to cook. then again, i just have to go along with it. i think i'm gonna start saving more this year. i wana find a much bigger place than what i have no...

. . . talking with my mouth closed . . .

. . . pieces of love . . .

assalamualaikum i almost slipped naked out of the toilet last Friday before work when suddenly someone rang my doorbell. Wow, someone actually came to my apartment. i was like so confused n shocked! who could it be? who in geneva is willing to come n visit me at this time of day? plus i gotta go to work, cant they wait till later? hence, slowly but surely opening d door, i was stunned... it was d mailman. i had a huge freakin mailbox down at the lobby n he just had to come up n ring me at my tome of pleasure in the the bathroom. party pooper... even his silly shocked smile didnt even gave me comfort from disturbing my bath. i got like a package with cute wrappings... i recognized the cute writing as well, hence made me smile (bear in mind i was still using my towel... n u can imagine the sheer blankness the mailman had on his face). i hurried getting dressed n also had a quick spoonful of cereal. i wasnt shocked when i opened the package, rather i had known it all along what happened t...

. . . anniversary with my angel . . .

assalamualaikum long distance relationships? my comments about it - it can be done, if u r determined to work it out. so far i have been away from my other half (^^,) for more than 3 months. i promised myself (n also to her n my family) that i would return MAYBE after 2 years so that it gets me enough time to settle in Geneva. d first plan was to stay here for 3 years straight... but then again, just after a month, the pressures of missing everyone back in Brunei has already taken its toll. theres been ups n downs being in a relationship, but so far we've been doing quite well. n i do agree that its part of the 'rules' of being in love, so to say... hehehe! in fact, i welcome the idea of being in love n also loving the other. m not such a luvvy duvvy person but then again, i tend to find myself caught up into it. giving gifts, going out together hand-in-hand... n so on. meeting the parents was a real toughy but i got thru it (n it was hillarious... i ended up chatting so lo...

. . . eating sh*t, literally . . .

assalamualaikum paying a fifty pounds to eat sh*t... would u dare be a jackass n do such a thing? apparently some people have! in this case, they drink it, in terms of coffee. so i was up late night n watching CNN (its d only channel i understand perfectly) n saw this report about Cafe Raro. its a coffee bean sold by a group of electrical appliances seller, De'Longhi to the public for fifty pounds, roughly 100 US dollars. i was like, what has d world come to? i looked it up through wiki n also asked an indonesian friend of mine. i was quite surprised to know that its been around for a long time. they call it Kopi Luwak in indonesia. kopi, literally means coffee n luwak is a local name of an Asian Palm Civet (a weasel of some sort). theres also a similar version of kopi luwak in vietnam n philippines as well. i wont discuss too much on details (coz it spoils d fun on finding information) so just go here to find out more, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kopi_Luwak in short, a weasel eat...

. . . sports woes . . .

Image
assalamualaikum i was never good at sports. oh boy, did i suck. the first n last sport i ever participated in... football i guess. soccer to be exact. i was young (stil am, always will), excited, dreaming of being someone great in sports... and of course, clueless. i got to be a goalkeeper, i thought, cool! i get to catch balls, no running around (i hate running) n d ball wont go to me much as d others will be kicking d ball to d opponents side. boy, was i wrong. d ball keep coming as though we were using 10 balls rather than one. it became so bad, i had to take of my glasses because i had several close calls where d ball kept flying to my face. to those who dont have specs, it is a serious thing when something comes to ur face. i was a wreck. we lost n i was a wreck. didi i mention i was a wreck? already? nevermind, i was a WRECK. mom was like a full blast lecture machine gun when i got home all covered in mud n grass. d following night, i shivered like f**k n my temperature was hot e...

. . . moving on . . .

assalamualaikum finally, after weeks of searching for an apartment (i think it took 2 months... cant remember), i actually got one near d city centre. good gosh it was exhausting n ridiculously frustrating. just to get an apartment (more like a room with everything in it) takes u through a lot. now comes the matter of moving. aiya... i can barely drive already for the past few days. i accidentally let the rim cover fly off to the other side of the road after nudging hard a stable. its a good thing i didnt overturn the car or i would be in more big sh*t. it didnt fit back coz i shattered one of its clips which hooks on to the rim... then in no time at all, after i gave to key to a colleague, it was no surprise when he told me it went missing when he drove on the highway... my bad. well, i'll get a brand new set of rim covers at the end of the month. hey, at least i told the truth n didnt blame anyone for it. sometimes the truth can be very comforting... in some ways. so, moving. the...
