I just got back from my lecture.

i have nothing to post about.

nothing..

My mind’s gone completely blank.

I’m probably tired.

I’ll try again later..

kiss me.

ADDED:-
ok i just woke up. been sleeping since 3 and its not 7pm Melbourne time. I should be well rested. I think i am.. so im gonna attempt blogging for the second time. damn. My water bottle is empty.. you’re right hehe im just stalling. no. but i really need a drink of water. hang on.

Ah.. water. So right where were we. Right. Not being able to post earlier. Ntah, i was probably just so tired. Periods have that effect on women. They get us so bloody worked out and worked up, its not funny. Guess what i lost over the weekend? my weight. hahaha just kidding. i wish though. ok more like my debit card. I was gonna buy text books today when i realised i didn’t have my card with me. And then it clicked me that i havent seen it all weekend. My room’s still a mess.I’m thinking of clearing up most of the junk on the floor dulu and maybe just maybe it might be on the floor underneath the pile of clothes or something.If the card still doesn’t show up then im just gonna have to put a block on it and get a new one. Which will cost me another $15. pfft. There goes five bucks of my IDOLAMELBEN auditions money. WHY OH WHY do i keep losing things?

IDOLAMELBEN. yes. im auditioning for it. why? just because. Might as well. Everyone i know seems to be auditioning. Even my can’t-sing-for-shit friends are auditioning so i thought why not? It’s a win win situation. if i make it to the top 10 woohoo. Free profesh make up backstage!! if not.. then .. MAC gives out free makeovers at Myers everyday anyway.. and its just 4 tramstops away from where i live.

Contestants auditioning for IDOLAMELBEN are asked to sing two songs each. One a wajib kanak kanak song titled;- Pelangi Pelangi .. and a song of choice. wow. i see my bintang kecil dreams springing to life.. hahahaha. Ive never really heard of the pelangi pelangi song before.. abang tukang bakso maybe, pada hari minggu maybe (pada hari minggu ku turut ayah ke kotaaaa naik delman istimewaa kududuk dimukaaaa..ku duduk samping pak kusir yang sedang bekerja, mengendali kuda supaya baik jalannya.. TUK TIK TAK TIK TUK TIK TAK TIK TUK TIK TAK TIK TUK..and no i am not embarassed BY MY CHILDHOOD thank u very much 😛 )but pelangi pelangi nope. not until 2 days ago when i took the initative to download the song off #indomp3 on irc. the song goes something like this..

*high pitched voices coming on the speakers, membuat aku terkejut bagai nak gila*
PELANGI PELANGIIII
ALANGKAH INDAHMU
MERAH KUNING HIJAU
DI LANGIT YANG BIRU

PELUKISMU AGUNG
SIAPAKAH GERANGAN
PELANGI PELANGI..
CIPTAAN TUHAN..

ya. cute. my words exactly.

Just received an email from the organizers of idolamelben. It states there in black and white that contestants will be judged on;-

Penilaian juri akan berdasarkan beberapa poin dibawah ini: (ya besss????)– technical skill (vocal, creativity in song arrangement)
– performance + interaction (stage act)
– overall package (costume, props, etc)

ok. The PELANGI PELANGI song needs to be improvised lah ah.. this i might need some help with. I’ll call idzfan later. Performance and interaction.. hmmm…be kiap kali ku bisai atas stage. kiap warna merah.. samaaa feather feather arah rambut mcm moulin rouge .. chinese opera pun buleh jua huhuhuhu. Overall package, costumes?? OK. ILL BUY A PAIR OF BLUE CONTACT LENSES ALA KRISDAYANTI FIRST THING TOMMOROW. haha.

oh and get this:-
Berikut adalah keuntungan yg akan kalian dapatkan jika masuk ke babak final:
– BBQ bareng panitia dan anak-anak Band Idola Melben (aku pun dapat bbq sendiri lah.. )– Latihan musik bersama deretan musisi Indo-Melbournian terbaik (ani aku mau..mana tau krisdayanti? hahaha)
– Mengunjungi para sponsor dan masuk multimedia presentation yang nantinya akan ditampilkan pas hari H (mm.. kalau ya membari usin inda jua kenapa)– Video documentation – profile masing2 kontestan (wah..mcm AF ne.. “ke..la..war..”)– Professional Make-up and Hairstyle in backstage (mana tau aku tarus jadi mcm krisdayanti??)
– Masuk majalah Ozip sebagai finalis Idola Melben (pfft. Ozip. Magazine free lagi tu)
– Masuk website: www.idolamelben.com (baik ku masuk ranoadidas.com seluruh brunei tarus kenal)– Dijadikan koor untuk upacara 17-Agustusan tahun ini di Konjen. (Koor is? Konjen is?)– Ikutan official after-party Idola Melben, Sakaw dan dapet VIP tag (mun ganya VIP tag. that stuff is OLD la..)
– Follow us through the journey to Idola Melben (naik mobil? apa naik kuda? wahahah kes kurang understand)

*yawn* nothing to be excited about kan? exactly what i was saying.. im just gonna be auditioning for fun. chances of me getting in pun are pretty slim since most indonesians i know here have good vocals pun.

ROFL. IDOLAMELBEN. syaz syaz, what were u thinking.

This is a sponsored event by the way. They’ve got more indonesians here than the population of Brunei put together. GILA YOH. Imagine the market for Indomee? Millionaires on the loose. Oh i dont eat that stuff by the way. I used to when i was little..and then i stopped. ntah. oso dono why.

anyway time to bersih bersih-in my room gituloh. chawey.

KAMU. AKU ANI SKULAH DI AUSTRALIA KAH DI INDON?????????????????????????

kiss me.

Feeling slightly kusut-ish today. First i thought ok..why ah? after wondering about it for a few minutes, now i know why. Heh. Nothing that i will reveal in here though. You wish. Hehe.

My sisters and i went to Savira’s farewell dinner at Sophia’s Friday night.Food glorious food. Sophia’s been known to serve generous portions of food for a reasonable price. And it wasn’t bad pun AND it was HALAL AND the service was excellent. For a huge place like that surprisingly it was lah.. two floors more than 500 tables i think..the food came instantlly.Baru ya service. After Vira’s i went to Lin’s farewell party somewhere in the city. He’s also leaving next week. OMG. Everyone’s leaving. EVERYONE. Melbourne’s getting quiet and quieter….that reminds me.. Kat’s not coming back pun..pasal ya sibok.. jadi bini orang. huhu. sigh. I guess i should take this a sign for me to balik also soon.

Gonna spend my sunday just lazng around the house,hopefully,if i don’t have to go anywhere in my pajamas and unbrushed hair. kwang kwang kwang…

kiss me.

Over the holidays, i attended 3 of my good friends’ weddings. Awu banyak semua kawin. huhuhuhu.

First up, it was Chulin and Hong’s..

With the girls at her reception (+me)

kedia ani kawan ku masa ya di melbourne. She gave out accounting lessons to me for free so long as i cook her friedchicken. huhuhu.

then, it was Radz and Ezul’s wedding…

si radz ani danganku menyanyi lagu anita sarawak arah karaoke.. sama main squash..

Recently it was Kat’s marriage to Abang Safar ..

si kat ani.. kawan ku masa di melbourne jua.. turun naik ya membawa kami ke sydney road apa..dangan kami makan kambing jua.. huhuhu..

Congragulations guys, i shall miss you girls dearly. huhuhuhu. All i can say is: KALAU KU KAWIN KAMU MESTI DATANG. hahahaha. Goodluck with married life, having kids..and all that jazz.

kiss you.

Ps: don’t worry. i’ve asked for permission. no need to kepoh kepoh.

Kami dah menang!
Saya menang!
Saya menang!
Saya sudah Menaaaaaaaaaaang!!

Saya menang moto!
Saya menang motobike ini!
Saya menang locket emas ini!

KECERGASAN TANPA BATASAN :- POWER ROOT.

Power root power root power root. The ad followed me back to Melbourne. I just can’t seem to get this drink out of my head. Mamalobengs feels the same way. We’ve been constantly bombarded by Power root ads that we are now actually curious to know what it tastes like.Since its not available in brunei, apatah lagi di MELBOURNE ive taken the initiative to surf through the internet for its ingredients so that i can have a fair idea on how it tastes like.

According to this Power root is made up of :-

Filtered Water (is it really?)
Tongkat Ali Extract (ahem)
Citric Acid
Fructose
Honey (kah horny?)
Yellow 5(CI19140),
Flavourings
Permitted Perservative. (like? a pinch of kacip fatimah?)

ok. i have not the slightest idea..but it definitely doesn’t taste like SUNVALLEY ORANGE JUICE lah..or MANISAN for that matter.

so ok. im cool with honey, yellow 5 (whatever the heck that is), flavourings etc etc etc.. but the Tongkat Ali, im not too sure. Yes tongkat ali is energising.. but to what extent? plus isn’t Tongkat Ali some sort of a viagra to the malay world? kan? i thought so too. I’ll be diplomatic and settle for ‘maybe, sikit saja tongkat ali dorang pakai..therefore tidak MEMUJARABKAN..kekeke’.

But i think kan guys, if Power root was to be made available in Brunei’s kedai runcits like Sehat Water, i reckon there would be RAPES. hahaha. Funny, but at the same time very disturbing. Banar jua tu? It should really be a prescribed drug and not a DRINK that could be consumed saja saja during AF.

this SHOULD be their AD:-
*kampong chinese man walks in to kedai runcit atas bukit*
KampongChineseManTinggalbawahbukit:-“Eh youk, jangan kelentong sama saya aaaa, jangan bagi saya itu air sehat sama coke ah.. saya mau itu satu POWER ROOT .. bungkus SIKALANG!! bini saya sudah tunggu!!”
Owner of Kedai Runcit Atas Bukit:- “Ok. Kali ini tidada tipu.. itttuuuuu doktorrr sudah suro kasiii pass ini minumaan untuk semuaaa enjoy!!” *hands him the power root*
KampongChineseManyangtinggalbawahbukit:-” Waaaah itu macam kaah?? okaayy ahhh, Thank youkkkkkkkkkkkk!!”

Luan creative banar bah orang orang ani.. sampai Tongkat Ali kan dijadikannya mcm coca-cola. They’re even marketing it like coca-cola. What next? Tiger-Balm EXTRACT Coke? “Just like coke..but like tiger”. or or.. “Sprite rasa Kuyu!”;- “pening kah anda?” “Mopiko EXTRACT Soda!” – . Ada ada saja. And Mawi will be the face of every weird canned drinks there is out there. Duta minuman minuman menguatkan. hahahaha. On another note; HOW EFFECTIVE IS MAWI?? gila yoh. kalau ya jual gigi palsu..membali jua ku tu yoh. untuk siapa? antah. untuk periasan pun inda papa.

power dowh!

kiss me.

ive moved to the Bahamas. just kidding.

Back in melbourne, slowly adapting the cold weather..not. I almost went out of the apartment without a jacket and i opted for the tram instead of walking home in the cold. Melbourne is so cold and gloomy that I wish i have moved to the Bahamas.Ive enrolled and i have classes running from monday to friday except Tuesdays. boo. No long weekends. Hopefully ill be graduating early next year.If i play my cards right. If only uni was all about Chotaiti,Samchong and Tunit kan? Kenapa tah aku inda jadi card dealer saja?? huhuhuhu.

My flight back was okay. I took the midnight flight out of singapore and chilled out with Clare Nicola (such a posh name) during my transit (courtesy of Alwi hahaha). Spent the afternoon dining,shopping,gossiping and strolling down scotts road. We were hunting for studs. there were many, but mostly over priced so i only got myself the button ones. atu pun priced at 5bucks each i still thought they were a tad over priced. I could make them myself.. tapi when do i have time kan? So i guess it was worth the money lah. I took back my assorted earrings,begawan solo biscuits and flew to melbourne a very kenyang bunny.. no. elephant.no. elephant-mother. hahaha. Thanks Clare for the company. 🙂

hmmmmmmmmm..other then that nothing else. I’m just taking my time unpacking my stuff nie.. i overpacked this time i went back. I took home clothes i didn’t need and brought back clothes i didn’t need. sigh. How i wish i could pack everything in to a pen drive yang basar SPACE nya lah.. jan jua yang 4MB ganya..atu alang2 tu.. muat skirt ganya kali tu huhuhu..yang mini.

Pen drive. Why is it called a pen drive? when it’s not a pen and it doesn’t drive?

mamalobengs makes me laugh out loud.. to the point of NO COMMENT.
kay. latersz.

kiss me.

Why not?

Anyway, it’s

Mama Lobengs

“REMINDER: Oh by the way, WARNING goes to orang -orang yang kan membali-bali AYAM, DAGING and whatever barang makanan yang mentah di Limang..

(Gaji naik kali ah.. yeehaaa!) Nda paidah2 karang masuk Borneo Bulletin.. ehemmm sorry atau Brunei Times kana tangkap mbali ayam di Limbang..ok tu paci and maci..!!” – Mama Lobengs

kiss me.

You Are Cookie Monster

Misunderstood as a primal monster, you’re a true hedonist with a huge sweet tooth. You are usually feeling: Hungry. Cookies are preferred, but you’ll eat anything if cookies aren’t around. You are famous for: Your slightly crazy eyes and usual way of speaking How you life your life: In the moment. “Me want COOKIE!”

JADINYA KAU UCAPKAN AKU JULING? ..come to think of it..my eyes are probably flawed pasal ada orang atu ya ucap mataku sipit den the other. HOW SWEET and oh not so CLICHE 😛

I got this from Ghasidah. I only did it because. i was trying to see if i was an elmo too. Ghasidah is an elmo so i thought, hey since we’re cousins..if i take this test will i be an elmo too? I know. Me and my bright ideas right? hahahahahahahahahahahaha. So now that i found out that i’m a cookie monster.. i will advice you all not to take this as a DNA test – you can still go to Jerry Springer for that. 🙂

Oh ghasidah is not her real name by the way. Her real name is really.. Ms Im flying to Bangkok tommorow and i’m leaving Syaz to eat Zinger at KFC all on her own *bitter*. Ghasidah, i wish you a safe flight to BANGKOK tommorow although i know you’re really going to Brisbane. BANGKOK BRISBANE both start with Bs kan.. sama saja yes my brain has gone kaput. hahahaha. Oh. On Vodaphone mu. CALL KU Sudah ku mulih krg ..maseh free ah.. voda to voda. hahahahaha. i love vodaphone. completely off the topic but that’s just me. random and sweet tooth-ed. why can’t it be sweet teeth-ed. U don’t just eat a cookie with one TOOTH …or do you?

ive gone mad out of my mind. bored. sleepless. bored.

Oh. Were you one of those people who parked near the roundabout to catch the fireworks tadi? if you were..THANK GOD.. cause i was driving towards kiulap tadi at a really really slow speed…(hello 20???) cause i was like..”wah kenapa durang anie?? SPEED TRAP KALI NIE. SHIT MAN KESIAN EH BAIK TAH KU RINGANKAN KAKI KANAN KU ANIE KALI..” . Its so good to know that you guys weren’t speeding but were only parked illegally hahahaha.

This is what i love about Brunei. The randomness of our people..think;-

-“SWEET MEMORIES” painted on the side of a mutu tambang (whaaaattt?????), Ghasidah claimed that she saw one mutu tambang with the words “3 Fast 3 Furious” embellished on it.. awu kira laju sudah tu.
–traffic lights on roundabouts..
-Stickers on cars of website addresses that are nonexistent; http://samsengkampongtamoi.com
-Feng tau music on full blast at the Komunis
-How that easi card vendor in kiulap would say; “Hai, lama tida nampak” when it was really your first time there. He mustve had a degree in PR SKILLS.
– Coffeezone CYBER CAFE-d; a group of uncles at coffeezone abusing their internet connection to play counter strike. I somehow don’t see netcomm in the future.
– How the Squash coach at the stadium never turn up on time slash never turn up at ALL.

haha. all this i find very.. bruneian. Brunei, im going to miss you once again.

kiss me.

The phrase “we should go out for coffee” , “calling calling” and “we should meet up” is oh so the very overrated. It is as overrated as saying “i love you” ; you can say it to any Tom,Dick and Harry without meaning it. It’s like going clubbing bah where you’re thrown outside your comfort zone pasal banyak orang and you have the need to feel like you belong to look cool. Everybody starts saying Hi to everyone. By everyone i mean those who you dont even like, the guy who went to your previous uni, the GIRL you haven’t seen so long that you even forgot her name,people you’ve ONLY seen on friendster and even acquaintences who’s a friend of a friend of a friend of your friend. These people exchange Hi’s and their How are You’s and end their conversations with “calling calling” but do they ever call? not really.Happens eveeery time by the way – with the same people. Very pretentious, but so long you feel like you know everyone and everyone knows you.. “so what” kan?

Come on lah, i know the game.

anyway, thanks to the ones who DID make an effort. I shall see you guys soon and i WILL.. calling calling 🙂

kiss me.

5am and wide awake. Probably because i had enough rest during the day (yesterday?). Still listening to Neyo’s Sexy Love. Sorry for the capi capi lyrics Bu, then again you chose to come here 😛 She was complaining earlier today about the lyrics to the song and how it was very capi capi and membari watir..seksi bah tu bu eh.. All i can say is hehe you haven’t heard Mousse T and Mylo’s drop the pressure yet. I guess vulgarity is the new discreet.

Oh.Get this. a little bird told me that Tokyo Drift’s not going to be showing in the cinemas here. Apparently its being banned cause it promotes “racing”.. (when the truth is the officials really have a problem with, pierced body parts and coloured hair on men) if this is the case why wasn’t KL MENJERIT banned from the cinemas here? Wasn’t KL Menjerit all about car races and violence too? I guess its okay for Rosyam Nor to have coloured hair and not on hot chingchong men cause its so not world war two? heh apakan?. buring jua semua kan di ban. If it’s the sex they’re worried about.. bring on the kissing-hepsek-censorer-machine. no need to ban the whole movie!! Eh come to think of it even the first two fast and furious movies weren’t banned in brunei. ani kenapa tia?? I dont think banning it “cause it promotes racing” is a good enough reason lah. sigh. My stomach just won’t settle for it. Musti ada pasal lain tu.. pasal orang marah kali pasal ya Tokyo drift.. and not Brunei Drift? hahaha..LAME LAME LAME LAME LAME. LAME 3D.

I was really looking forward to catch it before going back to Melbourne. I don’t think its going to be out for another 2 weeks there..and im quite sure by that time i’m going to be broke again having to buy new text books and what not. Oh and i will also be making up for lost time at Nandos.. half of my allowance gone tu hahaha confirm.

(*note to self: drop down to Bismi bali stationary)

Oh. check this out:- Headnut wahaha see what happens when you type in “hello!” or or “eh Bui spendet mu lunggar”. Many thanks to Dyng for the link. What could Metarazzi have said to make him so pissed off ah? lol.

Sending the kittens off to the clinic in rimba for a check up today. All 3 plus the mummy Hari. There were initially four kittens but the dog next door killed Bulan. Sungguh jahat koyok itu.

last week in brunei..

kiss me.

I’ve been at home the whole day. Sleeping, many thanks to the cough medicine prescribed to me by Dr Dao.Im afraid this also leaves me with nothing much to post about. There’s just so much you can say about sleeping the whole day kan? So im just gonna post about what happened over the weekend. last weekend. It seems like long ago, but yeah better than nothing kan? or should i say ; “be’ah en nu’in Can?” 😉

ok. let me recall Friday.

Friday (wow ada subheadings)
Friday..Friday.. what did i do friday..Oh! right. It was Kat’s Nikah and Berbadak Mandi. The whole afternoon was spent at her place. Kat’s finally attached..woohoo..CQU BOYS STAY AWAY. Later in the evening, i went to the hospital to visit my Nini boy(he’s fine now, alhamdulillah) before joining Wanah,Nadz and Izzati at “the, the dome” . Been ages since i sat down with the girls for drinks. Izzati lagi tia. It mustve been.. 8 years kali since we sat down and chilled out. Oh. Sorry. We were also joined by Clare and Alwi. Clare who is here for a week. I’m hoping to see them again before i leave. My flight’s finally confirmed for the 17th. Thanks May from SIA. Oh and i Just checked, you CAN check in ONLINE from the website from Brunei. But i don’t see the point of doing it pulang pasal they don’t have a special “online-check-in-line”at the airport which means you still have to queu with everybody else. One thing that is good about it though, you are able to change your seats.

Saturday
I can’t remember. Did i stay home kah? What did i do saturday.. what what what.
*2 minutes later* it was squash with Ghah (btw, condolences going out to you and your family babe..) and our usual Mango Chicken rice after. Then Jajah picked me up so that i could join her and my aunties for Roti in sengkurong..eh i think ive blogged about this. nevermind.

Sunday
Sundae.. oh forget it.ADDED:an outing with Ghah. We Met up with Akramin who apparently ‘wanted to see me’ at coffee zone for drinks. Then Malam, there was another function at Kat’s place. Ya bebadak.

Monday
Joined Nad and Ben for Drinks at T2..before heading off to d’royalle with Addi (happy belated bday 😛 ) ,Mimi and Mel.

Tuesday
SLEEP. I even forgot that Wangee was leaving for Brisbane today. Sorry babes.. inda antar you.. shall catch up wif you soon.

Kat just texted me and invited me over for karaoke.. *looks outside the window* nada kerita..

SIGH.
If you look carefully,I’ve added new people to my blogroll. I guess im not-so-silent anymore;Yes i read your blog and im loving it. Notice how all my daily reads consists of female bloggers???? EH actually..NO. ALL OF THEM ARE FEMALE.. cept for one; Rano. oh wiat. there’s another one. Airul. hahaha. nevermind. talur si syaz anie. kan becakap suka suka ati..asal saja becakap kadang kadang huhuhu. sowwy.
