My last post while in Brunei?
Hi, KL trip was fun.
Okay, this shall be a sad post from me.. thus, a long one, I might add.
For my times in Brunei, I've never had more fun anywhere else than when I'm in school. JIS gave me lots of memories I'll forever cherish, memories I have with close friends like you girls. I shall leave Brunei for University life with a lot to give (and talk about) and a lot more to learn.
Rach, you're one of those newbies like me in 2003 at JIS. We both had 3 months of catching up to do. It was you who came up with this blog idea in the first place and I'm glad that you did! You were the best friend I found at JIS and I'm glad to have met you. If I were given a choice, I would wish for more years to spend with you and I know I'll never get bored of you. Sixth form was tough for us as we had absolutely no classes together so we had little to nothing to talk about. I'll never forgive myself if I ever hurt you. I know you'll be there when I need you. You're the daugther I wished I had. Haha. Hope your relationship with Nick lasts forever.. you have your mommy's blessing!
Nads, you deserve an award for being the most outstanding person. We've been going to the same school without even realising it since Nursery! And you still forgave me after how bitchy I was to you in STPRI (you have forgiven me.. right?). It's like I've known you for years when we've only gotten close. You are the best friend I never realised I had. You're the person I hug most eventhough you're small and tiny (eat more so that it feels like I'm hugging a teddy bear :)) Most of the times, when we talk about liking things in common, I feel that you're DEFINITELY my long lost sister haha. So that our lives would end like in the movies. How nice. And I've told you million times of what a great thing you and Aman have. It really is special and I'm so happy for you.
Aiman, now it feels like I'm talking as though I'm so far away when most of us will be in the same country! You never fail to make me smile even during my hardest times. You're bubbly character makes me wonder.. how old are you really? No really man, how old? Haha, you tend to be the most immature out of us but you still had you're pretty mature moments and I sometimes wonder, is she for real? Oh, of course she is, she was the Boarding House Captain! I'm proud of your achievement and I'm glad we crossed paths. But Brunei damit kan, so I won't lose contact with you even if you're in KB. Right?!?! And appreciate what you've got with Amali Syami Ghani. He's a really good person and no guy's a better person for you than him. He's definitely the one for you. Don't tell him what I said karang ia kambang.
Rabs, why didn't you let me know you were leaving? It makes me sad that we barely spent time together. You've changed since Year 11 and I'm proud of you. I sometimes think you're Vietnamese and to think that you were a vegetarian when you spent years in Australia? What a cool thing to talk about. It's a cool thing to talk about when we spend a day together with the girls, after we're married and have kids. Though I'm not looking forward to our granny years.. aahh I feel my back pain already! Haha. I hope your faith is strong wherever you are. I know I can count on you.
Izzah, who would've thought that you'd be one of the nicest Malay girl to talk to me when I first came to JIS ah? Baik rupanya kau ani ah.. Bila lagi kan berboyfriend Zah? About time yo, the fish in Brunei are running out. And your beauty is starting to fade. Haha nadawah. We planned to fish for Bruneian guys in the UK pasal the ones in Brunei nada hot haha. How's the fishing going up there?~ Don't wait for me because karang I get the good fish, how? Haha. You're the person who I can chat loudly to, on MSN, anywhere! I'll definitely miss your laugh and we're both definitely terrified of gaining weight when we're in the UK. And if we do, let's become gym-partners!
Linie, You're a Hajah already but I keep on forgetting that. That's because your behaviour isn't Hajah-like haha. It would've been very fun to have you join us in the UK but Brunei is our home so we'll come back to see you. I know you're very sad.. maybe the most sad out of all of us pasal kami jauh.. but you know, the only way to remember us is: play NETBALL! Haha tapi jangan nangis2 saja, banjir karang. And then karang when we come back, we don't know where Brunei is because you flooded the country! Ok, that was exaggerating haha. I sometimes wish I could attend a University in Brunei because I don't want to leave this country. Bah nanti Raya don't nangis ah.. we only ever had one Raya convoy thing and that was siuk!
Liana, I think KK trip was the best. I went on that trip hoping to spend time with you out of the girls and I did more than that. We climbed the mountain side by side (most of the time, but only until Laban Rata) and came down last together!! You spent practically more than ONE DAY with me! Jangan pulak awak lupakan saye mase awak di Msia tau. Remember me as the friend who ended up having purple toe nails (til today!) during a KK trip. You might look like the quiet type but once I get you talking, it's non-stop! Good luck with your studies in Malaysia, you can achieve more than you think. And thanks for the lovely memories in KK. Bila lagie nak naik?
All of you girls have always been there for me.. especially during my hardest times and I don't think I'll ever be able to find something that special again. But what you didn't know: I have been in a relationship with Hannan for more than two years now, the second year was mostly on and off but we're now back together. I know you girls care for me (too much, sometimes) but if this one gets messy again, I know you girls would say "I told you so" silently but you know, that's the only way for me to learn right? I'm stilll 18, I'm suppose to make mistakes anyway!
I want to leave but I don't want to leave. I'm getting all teary-eyed about leaving and when thinking about what's going to happen when I come back. Will we be as close as before? What if I mess up our friendship and become a bitchy person? I hope I'll still be able to look for this post next year.
I love you guys very much.. You are the greatest friends I could ever ask for. We're definitely the
Venemous Pinks and
The Muffins.
"As our lives change from whatever, we will still be friends forever" - Graduation by Vitamin C. It's cheesy but it's how I really feel about you guys :).
I'll check this blog as soon as I get a connection wherever I'm settling in. Look after yourselves.. and please don't forget me. And if I ever (Nauzubillah) get diagnosed with Anterograde Amnesia, please come looking for me!! And assure me you're my friends. Haha.
Farewell ='( (though it doesn't feel like it as most of you left me already!) I've said this many-many times already.. Thanks for the memories, really :).

my attempt for a long post
Today I shall reminisce about our/my times at JIS.
In Yrs 10 & 11; school on Monday, Wednesday & Thursday finished at 2.15. Tuesday at 3 and Friday at 2.20. GCSE was a handful, especially since I had 3 months catching up to do at the start of Yr 10. Do you remember how Mr Hodgeson was a slave for the day for a bunch of people? Haha he had to carry bags and looked miserable. I still have a photo of him when he came to the dance room. Oh, and remember the dancing classes they had just before prom? So useless, the songs at prom we're completely unsuitable for it. And the food! Nasi Ayam on Fridays were like a must and I enjoyed the beef pies. It was pretty much a long walk from S Block or T Block so we basically had to run in order to get good food because they ran out quickly.
Yr12 was where all the "firsts" happened. We were part of the first sixth formers to use the R Block. Do any of you remember who was given a nickname "Stukin"? And do you remember the story behind that one? Haha. Change of timetables: Monday & Wednesday finishes at 3. Tuesday, Thursday and Friday at 2.15. This was where the lockers we had were awesome. And we were all complaining about having to go across every other day/lesson under the hot sun, claiming that at the end of the year, we will all be fully tanned. It was also an isolation from the juniors. For once. It was as well our first time using a canteen voucher to feed ourselves, by a 5/6-star hotel.
In Yr 13, Week A & B were abolished. Some liked it, some didn't. I personally think having alternate weeks actually makes school timetable less boring. It also improves your memory by having to remember your 2-week timetable. When the new Yr12s came and then we ruled the R Block, the first day at the canteen felt so hot. They were breathing our oxygen. The next day, 3-9 benches were added at the canteen. And some very old lockers, to accomodate the rest of the Yr12s. This was also when they had strict rules about which toilet students are allowed to use etc.
For me, I think I'll miss the birthday celebrations we had the most. As well as times when one of us treats us (a lot of times, Nads) and we get to eat good food for free! Haha.
Thanks for the good times (:

That seems to be the new "Google", according to Izzah (who's supposed to blog), more energy saving blabla and all the other good stuff.
For the past few days, I have been diagnosed with that oh my God, I soo need to lose weight, I'm going to count calories in what I eat syndrome. Like most girls my age, losing weight is like studying to get good grades. I am easily paranoid with gaining weight and I do admit I'm simply a hypocrite when it comes to judging others who are as well obsessed with losing it. It's the tv, I tell you! The tv!
On the other side of things, I have been wanting to write in this blog again, instead of boring people with photos.. and more photos.. just because I won myself a brand new Canon.
Maybe, for an ego-boost, I'll talk about some of the most embarassing moments that I have learnt to move forward from.. which can go back to the old, ugly, painful days of.. why, primary school, of course!
1. In Primary two.. and onwards actually, my Mum always, always insisted that my younger sister and I have and stick to very short, right under the ears hair cut. Of course, I was often teased in school but didn't cry or got bullied.
2. I had the scariest set of milk teeth. Literally. Scary = brown/black, crooked, disgusting. Again, I was teased.
3. I have been very rude to a teacher in school concerning my personal statement. I just blurted out words without even thinking, without even thinking that she's a very busy person and is obviously exhausted blabla. I swear some students were watching but just pretended they didnt. Didn't think you'd see that side of me, didja? Didja?! Haha. I know I was just being rude but I was really embarassed about how I behaved.
4. Recently, I almost tripped at a function because my heel caught a wire, while trying to get up on stage getting an award on someone's behalf. Yeah, you get it, there was that "Oooh..!" sound from everyone as they thought I was going to fall. I swear I could've seen that coming, but I simply forgot I was 2 inch taller that night. Geez.
I need to improve my.. talking skills. The whole thing. I mean, I either act really stupid or very rude when I suddenly bump into some people I know. Like, the conversation flows very weirdly and I somehow tend to talk faster than usual.
There are good moments that I have and would like to relive again, such as:
1. Doing those annual concerts at PGGMB.
2. Meeting a topless Gareth Gates.
3. Being in the passenger seat while my grandma reversed the BMW. Haha.
4. Going up stage to receive my Year 12 Academic Achievement Award.
5. Finally getting to the peak of Mt Kk when I was almost giving up.
The KACA birthday party celebration yesterday.
Hmm.. maybe I'll decorate the blog. The words part of it I mean. Haha.
