Brunei Chicken Rice

Usually gave them birds some rice to feed on.

Its very cool to watch them fly by, making loud tweeting sounds as they square off over the food.

And just found out, there are no crows (burung gagak) in Brunei. Hehe... I think the ones we have here are called starlings.

Dilemmas

Have you ever waited for that special someone, but they seemed so confusing for you to even make sense of their actions? Consider these lines:

1. Prolly you have misinterpreted his/her response.
2. Have you clarified with his/her definition of "I like you"?
3. If so, did they just want to be friends and felt comfortable whenever they are around you?
4. Is he/she using intimate words with you?
   
5. What was your response at the early stages?
6. Try sit and talk. Give it a try, if he/she refuses, don't push.
   
7. If she/he refuses, it is not the end, convince them that you want to make things work.
8. Show them that you care, voice it out.
9. I do not know how to make relationships work, but I do know that solving things without the involvement of pride will definitely work.
10. If you're very sure that you WANT to be with him/her, try everything that you think might work, regardless of losing pride. JUST for the one you're certain will make you happy.
11. For me, sometimes a lady will most appreciate a single thing that a man do even if it seems silly to others.
12. Think and act ONLY when you are in a stable state of mind. I am sure good ideas will spring up soon.
    
13. Make them jealous? NO, don't hurt feelings. Think of other ways.
    
14. Sweet thing to do? Don't bother, sincerity is more important. Why do something that you don't even mean it?
15. Don't know what to do? You'll figure it out... Be calm and think about it with love.
16. I can't be sure what is the best thing for you to do simply because "rambut sama hitam, hati lain lain" (even if we have the same black hair, our tastes are different).
17. If you know them well, you'll know what to do, do not rush.
18. When you are confiding your problems to your friends, ultimately you are already in an unhealthy state of mind. Talking to someone helps, because they are in a healthy state of mind and they could come up with more ideas than you, better ideas too.
19. When you are in an unhealthy state of mind, that is when you become temporarily deaf, blind and dumb.
    
20. How to show sincerity? It can only be defined by the person you dedicate it to. =)
21. Sincerity should not be something to be paraded. And sometimes, it is only the person you dedicate it to who will be able to feel it.
22. Sincerity is done without telling that you are sincere.
23. Never steal their time with their friends. So you made sacrifices? Give and take without too much measurements. Its called mutual respect.
    
24. Stop google-ing for each others' mistakes, no one is perfect.
25. Finally, remember, even a doctor needs a doctor. Go figure.

Nada surf-always love.

* I guess she knew i loved her enough to bear with me not telling.
Whatever drawer she is opening right now, i hope it is always sweet.
I fear the lover in me, instincts fearing a loss so huge...
Could never comprehend to measure...
I'll keep it this way, pain seems to get me closer to everyone i know,
and closer to God especially...

NOD initiative - part one

The fearless leader... involved in a cleaning campaign with smart clothing. Trims boss! hehe...
He's the brain behind this fantastic idea. He was the one who came up with the proposal, budget, papers, and guidelines. U can do anything u set your mind to man.







The team members at the end of our maiden cleaning session at Kg Dato Gandi. We were expecting a turn out of around 15 members, dropping to just 7 including me... oh 8 plus the boatmen, we cant simply have managed without him.





Wouldn't be truly environmental friendly without these bags yea? hehe... Found these special biodegradable garbage bags at Giant (cheap price everyday~) We also had to wear boots, paper masks and cute rubber gloves. Helmets were also needed. Needless to say, we were not financially insured..






We transferred garbage bags here from the fastboat... We had to inform people fishing around the area so as to avoid issues later.



This was the base area where we load and unload the bags. We decided to clean the base as well.. Not so much difficulty here, tho the fact that everything was covered with wet smelly sand made the task a lot harder. We had to be careful so as not to over fill the bags as they could tear apart easily and that happened quite a few times.



Linkin park-in the end

Sungkai sunset

I broke fast with some friends here. I prefer eating outdoors than indoors... The view here is especially breath-taking. Guarantee 'tangkap leleh' geng! haha (means getting uber-emotional).. I wish I wish I wish...

Nippon eateries

Roundup of the Japanese restaurants in Brunei:

Takara - wonderfull taste, though price range is slightly higher than the rest. Quality for quantity? =)

Kaizen - competitive to Takara. Also expensive but worth it. The authentic Japanese settings make the place a joy to dine at.

Escapade - affordable food pricing, but can get noisy. Its the Mc Donald's of sushi.

Misato - Almost same price as escapade, taste arguable. I think there is too much improvisation. Sushi using chilli maggee?

Sushitei - no comment...hehe (sarcasm applied).




Foo fighters-no way back

Written inside

Cuma melihat kamu dari jauh,
Hari berlalu sehari demi sehari,
Senyuman dan pernafasan kamu,
Masih memperngaruhi saya,
Buat air mata saya mengalir,
Kamu tersenyum... tapi tak tahu,
Hati saya sakit...
Saya yang bodoh...
Saya yang kebudak-budakkan...
Sudikah kamu berpaling dan melihat saya?
Saya tahu keinginan ini,
tidak bemakna bagi kamu...
betul berharap,
orang yang dekat dengan saya ialah kamu...
Terdapat banyak hari saya berdoa tak henti-henti...
pokok kehijauan,
Di bawah cahaya bintang yang tak terkata,
Adakah ia tahu, saya asyik melihat kamu?


Watching you from afar...
Days go by,
Your smile and the life you breath,
Still affect me...
Force my tears to fall...
You are smiling, but you don't realize,
My heart is shattered...
I'm a fool...
A childish fool...
Will you turn and look at me?
I realize this wish,
Will not mean anything to you...
I really hope,
The person closest to me is you...
There are countless days that I pray many times...
Green trees,
Under the light of countless stars,
Do they know that I keep looking at you?

Nancy ajram - enta eih

Five defining moments for a man

Thoughts have compiled this list to include five of the most crucial moments that every man will pass through in some part of their lives.

1) marriage - there will come a time when u find that soul mate of yours, some one you can talk with for hours, together becoming an item, sharing intimately, having fights, learning to live together and ultimately learning to compromise with one another's weaknesses. One may like watching WWE, the other might not... Its the moment when you discover what brand of sugar and spice she's made of that will determine the future of your relationship.

I dont plan to get hitched soon but who knows.. i have other ideas in mind, its all about priorities babe. I think ill write about things to do before reaching thirty in the near future.. Friends are getting married and having kids, time passes by so fast, you can hardly breathe thinking of the things happening around you..

Before popping the question, you would be thinking of that dream honeymoon, what type of wedding, cheese or chocolate cake, what concept, invite that ex (es) of yours? the cost involved and all. Before all that, most importantly, is she the one u want to spend the rest of your life with? make out and have kids with? I seriously think marrying a bestfriend cant be a bad thing at all..


2) Becoming a father - When was the last time u had to babysit your small cousins or nephews or anyone's child?

All i had in memory was looking after my baby sis alone, i remembered one day she was crying non-stop. I had to scan her for 'symptoms' - soiled pampers ok, milk check, rash attack check, insect attack nil... i was confused, no idea whatsoever of the source of her displeasure. Then my mom arrived home, and she stopped crying. True enough, A mother's touch! *sigh* thanks mom *hugs*

I've been told of the burdens of parenthood all the time, my mom used to tell me how badass i was when i was a baby. I would cry all night long and when i was in kindi, i would punch other kids for fun and would run at teachers trying to get hold of me..hehe..

I know Juno looks awfully inspiring but hey i dont think its as awfully straight-forward business as that.. When its hard to be yourself its not to be someone else. Realize the need to be good examples to our kids. Its your turn to be the head of the household now.


3) First defeat - business or personal, every man will experience the taste of defeat. The higher you are, the harder your drop will be. Its how you deal with your adult defeats - those that will cut deep into your ego (divorces, estrangement etc) - that will determine your growing up as a man.

As mentioned in 'the art of war', "...when your weapons are dulled, your ardor damped, your strength exhausted and your treasure spent, then no man, however wise, will be able to avert the consequences that must ensue.."

Learn from D.beckham when he missed that one England freekick or that Mariah Carey formula e=mc2.. Believe that what doesnt kills you will make you stronger. If u had to go down, make sure you go down like a man. Go on, watch 300 again and watch those awesome gays with six packs.

My inspiration will always be Man United after that munich trauma. Public attention and concern was phenomenal. To lose one of the best united eleven at that time would be more than just migraine, but United went on to produce a squad, which included the likes of Robson, Best and Charlton. Reds! Born and Bred!


4) Becoming an orphan - When was the last time you asked mom to iron your clothes or dad to pay the bills for your everything? No more free foods. Its a life cycle, from a child becoming an elder, its a physical, psychological to spiritual transformation.. In a full life span, everyone will get to experience it it in mid-life.. I am already missing my late grandfather.

I still depend much on my parents for food, advice and support. I dont have my own car, and I am not keen on showing off my parents' car either. Definitely, we need to cherish eveything before its gone. My mom arranges my stuffs once in a while, i do realize that i can get messy at times. I do care about organization but so much has happened lately that i cant help but get disorganized.

Most will refrain to even think about it, but come on, how long do you think you can keep depending on someone to do your everything? As much as God decides everything, death is a reality, a fact of fate. Think of your own future plot of land, house later, start smoking only when you can pay for it using you own money and stop hustling around with that cool car of yours-parents. Pray.. getting a good ground in spirituality gives us strength to carry on. Build good karma, leave a coin in that vending-machine, just like in final fantasy online, use a potion to revive the dead, do unto others.. and others might return the favour when its your body lying dead on the ground.


5) Realizing you dont know everything - You are not stupid, you are not god either... Growing up is a tough process, i dont know if its much more fun planned or better unplanned. What i do know, its better to accept our weaknesses and make good use of our strengthes.

Nationalism. Democracy is the best tool against corruption, its more iron than iron-fist..hehe.. Our people should get rid of the "we have just arrived attitude". It takes more to suceed this days. I cant comment much, as i would comment on others who do such to study hard and become ministers, so as to be able to make the said differences and desired changes. Im babbling here..hehe..

We grow with experience, its good to try new things. Go... go get that girl's number now. Better late than never. Life is too short to wait for changes, create your own paths and determine your own destiny. Its you who like to eat those mash-potatoes not her so dont beat around the bush..


How do i live-LeAnn Rimes

Road to Niah

For those who wish to go to Niah cave, you have to go through this passage, a long winding one... hehe.. not for those who are afraid of heights.. ehehehe.. just joking, assume that was there when construction works were underway, it should be much better now...

Still remembered there were several who had to be led by hand to reach across... hehe... (who eat indomee, wont know maggee mee) Its a long way to reach the cave, but it was worth it!




Niah was great, the cave is dark, and the smell of guano lingers... Its literally everywhere, u get to step on them... The first impression of the cave is that its quite huge (like OMG huge)... After the trip, must say that have learned to appreciate light more... The floor was slippery, muddy and you almost get the feeling that you' re stepping onto something u should not...



Was struggling with the pictures, faithful camera was senseless inside the cave... Did manage to capture pic of an iguana, accidentally... Who knows what else lurks around... There were countless stairs, slippery ones, a torch light is a must to navigate around. I wonder how our ancestors managed to lived there in such conditions...

Laters, went back to the hotel and have a good scrub. =)

*Just watch man vs wild.

MLTR take me to your heart

classics dont have to be in black and white

These are among the common snacks that my generation used to munch on a lot in the old days, its hard to see them on the shelves nowadays.. I still find it worth the time and effort in searching for them, brings the nostalgic memories in me.. Used to buy lots of them and eat together with friends during breaks, thats if time is not wasted fully on running around sessions..

Back then the games were mostly played in groups... run and run sjaa, amazingly did not remembered getting tired.. i forgot how many bruises and cuts i got, not to mention 'manufactured-holes' on my trousers... full of energy, sometimes getting into fights, biasalah kanak-kanak, geng-geng...hehe

most simple was just kicking flattened tin cans, or balls made of paper strips taped together... or cara kaki, or police thingy...hehe oh oh, how can i forget the marbles or the card stacks or the rubber seeds (people would even smother candle wax inside)... i remembered a time when everyone was lying on the floor playing stacks of cards or affectionately known as 'skopong'...hehe... and baloon fight, cara duduk, cara ais... the list goes on...

Do i have to mention about the imitating games? like those mini marriages, cooking..hehe...



*falloutboy-thanks for the memories

polygamy

I loved her...
shes my baby...
the way she flicks her eyes seductively...
but sometimes she's just too noisy..
and i hate the distance,
the way she 'looks' at others...
sometimes she just won't even respond to me...
then there comes the other party,
its not about the looks,
well prolly a bit...
shes confident as well,
decent sensitivity,
moves like a goddess...
as i see her,
my heart skips a beat...
a new thrill...
between the Audi R8 and GTR 35,
which shall i choose?

































Limbizkit - take a look around

Fly me to polaris

oh gentle winds beneath moonlit skies,
do not you hear my heartfelt cries?
below the branches here about,
do not you sense my fear and doubt?
side glistening rivers and sparkling streams,
do not you hear my woeful screams?
upon the meadows touched with dew,
do not you see my hearts askew?
beneath the thousand twinkling stars,
do not you feel my jagged scars?
seek not my mournful heart kind breeze...
for you will not find it amongst the trees...
its scattered across moonlit skies,
accompanied by heartfelt sighs,
its drifting over the gentle rain,
a symbol of my silent pain...
its buried beneath the meadow fields,
conjoined with all the sorrow there...
its lost among the stars this night,
too far to ease my quiet night...
no gentle wind, seek not my heart,
for simply, its torn apart...



staind - everything changes

Nerve-rackin'

In my memories, there is only you...

afraid that if our eyes met,
the longing may fly away,
afraid if we spoke,
the happiness may only be a moment,
i spent such a long time hanging from afar, watching you...
in my memories, there is only you.

I wish for you to bring warm laughter,
even to those who are suffering...
in order to do that,
they say you need to know tears first.
it may be heartless for me to leave you waiting,
but i wish that even this pain can become a present for you,
Just like you were the biggest present the world has given me.

*coolest mr grasshopper caught flirting among the grasses*

the grass is green-nelly furtado

nonchalantly

All I see

Drifting through my veins

Want to know where it all began

I see your face everywhere I turn

Now Im left, eternally to bow

Eternally to...

When you're on your own

Killing time
Wanna make it right

Make it...

Nothing ventured nothing gained

Seems all the world has gone insane

All said and done

We are heading straight towards the sun

Nothing ventured nothing said

Seems all the words drift from my head

Its sad to say
But we are heading straight towards the sun

All I feel

Crawls across my skin

Breaking through

Slowly sinking in

And I cant find what youre looking for

Nothings left

Nothings left at all

Nothings left at...

When youre on your own

Killing timeWanna make it right

Make it...

Nothing ventured nothing gained

Seems all the world has gone insane

Its sad to say

But we are heading straight towards the sun

Nothing ventured nothing said

Seems all the words drift from my head

All said and done

But we are heading straight towards the sun
I dont know where we went wrong

Cos its been going on too long

We used to live inside the breeze

But now I find it hard to breathe

Wanna make it right

Make it...

Nothing ventured nothing gained

Seems all the world has gone insane

Its sad to say
But we are heading straight towards the sun

Nothing ventured nothing said

And all the words drift from my head

All said and done

But we are heading straight towards the sun

Newton faulkner-straight towards the sun
