2007

Happy New Year! Woah..its already 2007, cant feel time flies. N the next thing, i'll b 20. So old lh..This year resolution will be study hard n not careless. hehe

Well, i just got back from KK last friday. KK was cool. I had a fun tym during dat 4 days/3 nites in KK. The road trip was tiring tho, but the scenery was good enuf to enjoy. There were some "oooohh"s n "aaaahh"s ( cos it was my first time) hehe.

DAY 1

We'd start our journey arnd 2-3ish pm. It was late tho, cos we'd spent our nite at temburong( their relative's hse). The trip took abt 3 hrs..i tink. cos its not dat far. We also get to pass by limbang, which was also my 1st time. hehe. When we reached to temburong, i cudnt believe dat its only a small town..to the very. Cos i expect there would b a mini hua ho or somethin'.
Arnd 5 ish, we arrived to the house which we'd spent a nite there. The house was ok..it felt like home. They treated us very well. We also get a chance to eat diff kinds of fruits..cos its a 'musim buah-buahan'. They have the durian, rambutan, tarap, kembayau, cempedak n lots more. We sure did feel full dat tym. hehe.

DAY 2

At 7:30am, we started our trip after we ate some brekkie. The jouney took abt 3hrs+. Ooohh..i love the scenery during the trip. Its the actual kampong which i rarely see it in Brunei, usually in m'sia (can also be seen on TV dramas). Also, i saw this thousands of acres of tree..(kelapa sawit if im not mistaken). Love it!! I was mesmerised..
Anyway, we arrived the premonade hotel ( which we stayed) arnd 11:30am. I love the fact that the hotel is facing the sea..lovely view + its nearer to the shopping complex.hehe.
We started our shopping at centrepoint. I was so shocked that there are some international franchise in the complex..such as starbucks, Guess clothing, nose, Mango, Nike n lots more (even brunei dosnt provide these). I did some shopping here and there.

Meanwhile, on the evening, we went to these stalls which sell durians..lots of em. Of cos, we sit back n ate it. So delicious......It made me drool.

DAY 3

We had this last minute plan to go to gunung kinabalu. I expect the journey to be a lil short, but no..it took abt 3 hrs+. But the view was worth it. When we reach to taman kinabalu, we could see the clouds n the temperature's 21-22 degrees. I could feel the coolness, just like in UK during summer. Not much to see except the flowers..colourful. After that we get to see the hot poring, i think. Its another different place n the temperature is normal. I could see more tourists come down there. Me n nuzul get to watch the waterfall, which is more deeper, that we had to do this jungle tracking for about 500m. hehe. The waterfall's not so bad lh..I get to take pix of it.

During the eve, we got to eat at this restaurant called portview seafood *i think* Here, we got to choose which seafood to eat from the aquarium..meaning its fresh! There's lobsters, fish, clam n lots more. Dat nite, we ate fish, prawn, clam n veggies. So drooling eh..most delicious seafood i'd ever tasted.

After we had dinner, we went back to hotel. Me n nuzul saw cico in front of our eyes...but we did nothing. We just stood there n nothing. I couldnt believe that i tot i heard his voice as if he's on TV. Then, it turned out that we became so frustrated..yea, i blamed us for doing nothing. hehe.

DAY 4

This day was a shopping day. I'd spent most of my money tho its not the last day. But guess what, i got to see cico in the lobby while waiting for nuzul from the washroom. I actually had the courage *hehe* But who took our pic? Well, i got to ask this aussie lady for it. After that, me n this aussie lady had some chat. Apparently, she has been to brunei in 2005. Yay for that..She told me that its a lovely country, but there's only 1 mall. haha. I get to hide my face after that..*kidding*

That evening, me n nuzul's family had dinner at portview seafood restaurant..again. But i dont mind, cos the food..i like! After that dinner, me n nuzul get to spend the last slurp of vanilla blended creme in Starbucks. Tho my money's left to RM 12, but i dont mind spend RM10 for it. hehe.

DAY 5

Last day in KK, parkson was our last shopping complex to go to. Nuzul's mom was nice enuf to give me RM30, cos i only bought 1 blouse during the stay. And so, i spend it for a diesel shirt. And we start our journey back to brunei at 1ish pm. We reached to nuzul's home at 11pm..long day ey?

Eco assignment..

Finally, a time to relax. Abt 3 days ago, me n my group were doing this survey abt tourism thingy n occupancy rates in hotels in brunei. It was so tiring dat we had to make appoinments with the hotels n interview with those ppl regarding on the matter. We were doing it for 3 days..straight. So far, we have been to OGH, traders inn, Brunei hotel, holiday lodge, Asma, Terrace, LeGallery, D' Anngrek n grand city hotel. I tot it would b easy to make appoinmts with them..but it was hard man.. Some of the G.M were bz n out of town cos its end of the yr. Wat do we xpect? Its the mth where ppl r on their vacation!!I I think there's a lot numbers of hotels to go.. This group assignmt is fun n has create a closer bond between me n my mates..cheewah! hehe

Nxt week, my group will b heading to K.B...ROAD TRIP!! Unfortunately, i culdnt b able to make it..cos im out of town this x'mas. I'll b missing the fun tho, but I'll b joining my cuz to K.K. Ooohh, cant wait!! hehe. My 1st time to K.K..*sigh* But me n my cuzs will b spending 1 nite in temburong b4 to K.K. Im sure i'll b talking much more abt K.K just as i come back to brunei soon. hehe *wink wink*

Walk a hunt 2006

Yesterday, the adventure started. First time to join such thing..(well, its 2nd) Last time was this AIDS thingy organised by MS few mths ago. But it's only simple tasks, rather than this "Walk-a-hunt". It was fun, but the questions are not as i expected.

I came to Taman SOAS arnd 7 sumtin. It was packed with enthusiast ppl n it got me more nervous. There was 350 teams, so there's 700 ppl joined. And as usual, we had to register n get the clipboard. I saw some familiar faces there...atol, ain, aimi, tcher yani, metis, nabs n a lot more. The weather was fine..really hot. The game started at 8:30am. The 1st place was Yayasan..The questions was really tough n a lot more tougher. Me n my partner( amal, my cuz) was determine at first, but when it comes to the hard questions, i felt that i wanna give up. But then, it was fun to find the answers. After, 1 hr30mins later, we went back to Taman. I got to do 2 tasks, which was to pop up the balloon by blowing a pipe (im sux at it) and do bowling which we had to use a coconut(which was hard cos it not round) n i got 1 pin sja. haha.

The next place was Kiulap( there's 2, 1 between HSBC n kafe kausar and the other was between red chilli restaurant n M.A.L co..i tink) The questions were more tougher than in yayasan. We had to spend 1 hr in kiulap since we've got limited time. Some of the questions goes like.." When a Treasure Hunt moves forward" n i got this company name T.H Maju sdn bhd. Geddit??? hehe. Me n amal get to submit the answer on time, b4 12pm. N we ended half day by eating our lunch at Jolibee. hehe.

At 2:30pm, there's presentation of answers, but me n amal didnt go there..y'know. Instead we'd spend our time watching friends. hehe. Tho me n amal dont expect that we will win, but it was such a fun day.. Btw, the answers will b announce in 2,3 days.
