butterflies..

I woke up this morning feeling really happy. Haha. Weird, but yes I did feel happy. I watched Kungfu Hustle yesterday, I don't remember a time when I had so much fun, just laughing and talking. I haven't done that in ages, other than hanging out with the usual girl friends.

I've been editting stuff around the site a lot, I've got some things going well.. I'm still thinking about whether or not I will continue with this domain in 2006. I'm reconsidering it, because I've done so much throughout the past three years and I think I'm begining to be attached to the domain :S I'm setting up a new image gallery so I don't go nuts looking for my files and would be able to view them more easily instead of browsing thorugh via ftp programs.

I went out at half past noon, got picked up ;) The Mall was seriously busy yesterday, I think I smiled/waved/said hi like every 5 minutes (or less). I saw a lot of exclassmates from PGGMB. Eh. John and I bought tickets for the movie before sitting down at West Street. I saw some cousins, relatives. Saw Syai, Hadi, Shaf, Aisya, Maya, etc, the usual Gadong Mall rats. haha :) Sis was there too, gave her half of the money I had left in my wallet ;P It's cool tho, as long as she's happy.

I've signed up for a lot of things online, hopefully when I reach my 18th, I'll be able to turn things around for the whole domain. I'll be hosting more peolpe soon, but I'll get into those details once I've completed everything else I've started.

Eh ALL FOUR OF US (plus Yazid, so that makes 5) ARE IN BRUNEI for the first time in a year. lol. Lina just came back from Australia yesterday, and aQilah's still here.. Aimi and I LIVE here. Haha. So yeah, I'm going out with them later. I went to Lina's house last night, had dinner there and just talked the night away. It was practically a gathering of all of us. Hehe, I think I hugged Li a bit tight (who wouldn't, after not seeing her for almost a year!), but she looks great =D We were talking about piercings last night, how and where the ones who haven't gotten them are going to get them. I'm scared lah. I want a horizontal belly piercing. Hahahaha but I haven't said anything.

I had to leave before nine to pick up my sister in Gadong. I fell asleep in the car, but woke up when we arrived in front of centerpoint. I had to go down and find Hads'. Sis was with Syai at coffee zone. Dropped Syai off at her place and went home, who knew it was going to take an hour to get home? man oh man.

I'm just thankful I didn't get into trouble getting home an hour late :S Went online, chatted with a few people :) I've been sleeping late lately, nyah. It's my fault that someone's getting lack of sleep. Haha whoops. Rz called me up on my cell when I was in the car, I talked to him from Gadong until I got into my room. Haha. It was nice, we caught up with what was up since we haven't been hanging out much, etc. I'm cool with it though because I know he needs time to adjust being here and being with his cousins :) I still panic and worry, and he knows that. He'll call/msg me up to reassure me that things are okay between us and it's all good.

I'm more of a at-home person lately, surprise surprise :) I'm happy though because it means I'm saving a whole lotta cash *ka-ching*. I feel guilty now when I ask my parents for money, it's weird. I try not to ask for money, unless I'm really desperate. I'm short of RM$180 in my wallet though. Nyah.

School's been over for a week now. I haven't spoken to anyone from school other than Aimi, Pheng, Bil and Eng Hock. Nice ah. I haven't had any verbal contact with anyone from school other than Aimi. Haha. One of these days I'm gonna call Pheng up and ask him to come down from KB. I wonder how Bong-Hae is.

We had family night on Sunday. My cousins' came over and we held a mini-Avril concert. The girls in my family (those younger than me) are Avril Lavigne fanatics. It was a great night, and we have it all on tape. I'll download it off my cousin soon. The girls put on a great show, dancing and singing along on a microphone. We held it in the big living room downstairs. My parents' (I didn't see much of them that day, come to think of it, I didn't see dad at all) didn't come home til about 10+ but by then I was already drowsy. Apparently, I missed out on some fun because I went to bed at 10.

Oohh. I ran into Kim yesterday, might be playing basketball with him and the guys soon. That should be fun, I haven't played ball since school ended :S and yeah, I've probably gained weight. I should seriously cut back on the hard rolls and butter.. but ergh, they're so yummy :(

On Saturday, we had some relatives from KL come over to my place. I have a new Kaka called kaka Sa'adah, but they call her Nonie :D She's twenty and she's pretty. Ayu berabis. She's in Uni now, I'm going to visit her when I go down to KL again. Hehe :D

On Friday, I went down to Tutong because my grandma was having a doa selamat. We used the old road to go because my dad's mum made the driver drive that way. Haha, Mum and dad just decided to follow them. It was a nice change of scenery though (and I did look around at the big houses being built there, and then some) compared to the highway which is just an endless road leading to.. who knows where.

I was talking with the girls and Yazid about some books. I really want to get The Five People You Meet in Heaven by Mitch Albom. It's $15.80. I've got his other book, Tuesdays with Morrie and haven't had a chance to read it yet, but I will soon. I lent Aimi the book by Cecelia Ahern, P.S. I love you. It's a nice book to read, if you want to see how true love really last. It's so frigging sweet. lol, I wonder where guys learn their manners on how to treat girls xP nah, kidding. Hehe some guys can be sweet .. others, are a problem. I found the Da Vinci Code at Best Eastern the other day, I heard that the book is quite good too. lol. I have so many books I'd like to add to my library. I'm only lacking the funds right now. NYAH. But good things come to those who wait. Has anyone ever ordered from Amazon.com in Brunei? How reliable is it because I have an urge to buy books. Hehe :)

I went out with John on Thursday to watch Ocean's twelve at Empire. Ran into Titz and Afizah there :) that was the second time I saw the movie, and this time I actually concerntrated and I think I understood the story line (but I still haven't seen Oceans 11) because John gave me asked me to summarize the story yesterday when we were chilling at West Street. haha.

I watched Oceans Twelve on Tuesday (I think) as well, with aQilah and Aimi's family. Hehe that was a lot of fun. We were originally going to watch Bride abd Prejudice. Qi and I voted against it, and threathened to walk out if the movie got too corny. Haha. Luckily for us, they had technical difficulties and everyone was hungry so we walked out and got a refund to watch Oceans Twelve instead.

Hm. If I had BN$500.. I think I'd buy a couple of tops I saw down in Gadong, and probably buy myself $100 worth of credit so I don't have to recharge anymore. That would probably put about $250 down the drain, and then I'd put the rest of the $250 in a bank account (if I had one :S).

oh well.

hello lack of funds.
hello bed

love,
yasmin.

Fearless..

I went surfing like I always do at midnight during school holidays. I found a couple of things that are annoying me (and probably annoy other people who read the same books as I do).

Haha.

Especially Mallie, check this out.

Apparently, after the #37 book.. Gaia will be gone until Summer 2005. It's a pretty long wait, and I should hope that it'll be worth it since the book pretty much lost its flair when Gaia gains her 'fear' officially in the 31st book; Normal. Bleh.

Here's another article of interest.

Who the hell is the unexpected person? Ah. This is driving me mad.

Finish the series already. I've been waiting for two months.

After that I have to wait another six months? God help me.

Forums? yup. found some.

I realized that two more super editions are coming out: the Silent Hand and the Screaming Heart. What's that about? They're not published yet though.

And the new Gaia model DOES suck. I liked the old one, she was prettier. The new one looks like she's hiding something. The old one looked the part. The new covers suck, since when does Gaia wear hoop earrings? Does she even have ear pierced? WHYYY IS SHE ON THE PHONE? #33. Take a look. And the whole preppy denim look? #29. Okay, I'll stop complaining now. haha.

Rachael Leigh Cook? Right.

Thank god the show got cancelled.

love,
yasmin.

Don't worry I'll catch you.

Habits are so hard to break. Though they're so frigging easy to start. Eating bread rolls in the morning everyday has become a habit. I think I must have gained weight or at least a bit of excess fat in my body. ha! I have a headache right now, but my head is drawing to a blank -_o.

I woke up at 6:30A, with full intentions to go cycling with Yazie. It's 11:36A now, I think he's still at home, asleep, because he never responded to my miss call this morning. Yesterday was a lot of fun, I came home pretty exhausted even though I parked my bum in front of the PC from 4:30P until 11:15P. I think I'm suppose to do something with the site today, but I can't seem to remember what. I've been chatting with John all morning since 7:00A, he was up because he's nutty. He's gone now, probably cleaning his room.

I'm going out later to beauty arsenal. I don't know what I'm going to do until then though, I'm probably just going to bum around the house until 1:00P and then take a shower. I really wanted to go cycling this morning.

My left arm is sore from playing badminton. I want to practice shots using my right hand. Ha. I can't shoot with my right because I'm left handed. I think I left my CD in Yazie's car. I want a basketball ball because I lost mine over the summer break =(

Christmas is coming soon. I wonder how many of my friend's celebrate it, but I don't (although that doesn't mean I don't receive presents cough). I'm looking forward to new years though, because I'm going out with a friend of mine who says that I won't be sleeping at midnight as I always do over the past three years. Hrr. I always manage to fall asleep just under an hour to midnight on new years eve. Ha. Maybe it'll be different this year. A change of fresh air? Hee. <3

In case I didn't mention it the other day (I don't usually reread my posts until a few days later then I'll notice the bad grammar and spelling. hehe), we're on school holiday now. Three weeks. I hate spending December the way I do. I'll be at home or out in Gadong (I'm beginning to despise the place), just relaxing or chilling out with a cold drink in my hand. My exams are less than a month away. I'm feeling a bit anxious. It'll be good when things are done and over with. I think I'll be very happy that half of my A2 exams are completed. Then I'd have less to stress over the rest of the year.

The school's sending another batch of FOBESSIA students next year for netball and athetics. I'm not going though, because I've already gone twice to KL this year (once in March and the recent one was just two weeks ago). I don't think it'll be very responsible of me if I go again. Besides, BN$1000 is a lot of money for a three day trip, that's about RM$2300. I can do a lot of other things with that amount of money, not to mention that the cost of that is twice of the Mount KK trip, plus extra perks. I don't think I'll be doing any trips next year until my exams finish, although Singapore would be a nice change of environment for me to unwind and buy some new reading material. Lemoney Snicket's new books aren't out yet, and I've already finished The Grim Gretto last month. Francine Pascal's Fearless isn't out yet either, and I've been waiting for almost two months now. There are only about three books left in the series, I wonder how the book ends. And if you know, I don't want to find out until I buy the book myself. The Wicca Series seemed to stop again, I finished Night's Child a while ago. Hm.

I think I need to work on my abs again. Ha. I wonder if I'll see Rz anytime this month. The last time I saw him, we hung out at West Street.. and that wasn't much but it did keep me happy until the next day =)

Happy holidays everyone!

love,
yasmin.

Spring cleaning.

I'm cleaning out the old folders in the server and redirecting a lot of things. So if you see any errors on the site, tell me please because I must have accidently delete/moved the file. Haha =) I made a few edits on a couple pages and added more things to the site although I haven't updated their statuses yet. I'll do that soon, I just forgot how to do the codes for pop ups (yes, I forgot.. and I'm too lazy to look), so it'd be really helpful if someone just gave the codes to me. Haha. I made a layout for a friend of mine, I'm not sure if he'll like it though because it's basic and simple.. but yeah, I couldn't think of anything.. and was feeling a bit brain dead.

I had a lot to vent about, and masses of energy released during my workout session in Empire. I played badminton 2v1 (me being the single) against Yazie and Shaz, shot a few hoops (one of the lights in the half court has no cover, and I know the reason why *cough*). I think the basketball ring is too big, in fact, I think it's huge.. but whatever, most of my shots went in. I played 2v1 (me again being the single) bball with Yazie and Shaz. lol. Sweaty? Yes. After that played one on one badminton with Yazie. I lost though, 15-4. bleh =) I learnt new rules about badminton (because I only knew a bit) and I learnt how the scores are counted (yay, I'm so proud of myself!).

Yazid picked me up a little after 8, after one miss call and one freaking loud honk from his car horn. We went to Yayasan for lunch, ate at C.A.M. hehe =)) after that we went exploring down the unknown areas of Gadong and I got freaked out TWICE. I'll talk about it when it's morning.. I'm just a bit freaked out now. In the end, we winded up at the Mall. I almost bought a pirated Sims 2 CD but changed my mind after the guy nicely (jerk) burnt it onto 4 CDs and asked for $20 from me. I'm like, "I'm not paying for that" and he says, "fine". So I didn't buy it.

I want the Sims 2 CD.. blaah~~

Friday, December 17, 2004

wait.

I woke up at 6am this morning, going out with Yazie and Shahyzul soon. We're going down to empire to play badminton and hopefully swim. Who knows, maybe Yazie'll bring a basketball and make my day. =)

Yesterday was the last day of school, and as much as I wasn't looking forward to it (maybe I did a little bit).. it happened. My last school period was spent in the study room with the year 11's, class cutters *cough* and the rest of the people in my study group. One person in particular, i.e. Finah, said the most random thing to me, which caught me off guard and that made her prove her point: "You're so chinese". Whether that was an insult, or some sort of comment, I'm not sure but whatever. I hope no one else felt insulted because I saw Pheng make a face. Haha.

Oh it's almost 8 already. I'll post later.

Moments like this

Life is so.. urgh. I felt really depressed this morning, because nothing seems to be going right.. It's going downhill or the other way =( I don't want it to and it's annoying the hell out of me. It's TUESDAY! Sigh. Three more days until school ends. Three more days until everything won't matter so much anymore. Three more days of school. I'm going to miss Hazie <3, Pheng and George =((

Currently chatting to John S. He's still thinking about where to take his yasbabe ;p Blah. I was chatting with him anyway, he's gone now. I made cookies for tomorrow's math class =)) I did something really silly today. I think I made all the computers in the study centre crash when I pressed enter. There's something wrong with me, every time I touch the computer Pheng's using, it'll freeze.. Or even worse, crash. Sorry wahh.

In case no one noticed, yes, I have disappointed everyone by putting ads at the side..haha but hopefully they won't annoy you too much (I promise no pop ups). I think it's about time I try and earn cash for the site because I have been paying without generating any revenue what-so-ever. The hostees are hosted for free (well, no money involved anyways), although some *coughSTUPIDLOGICcough* 'bribe' me with huge teddy bears that I adore <3. The cam portal is still under development, but it's there if anyone wants to add their cams =) Oh, and please do!

I've been trying to read this article for a week now. It's called The Business of Blogging. I couldn't read it in school because the words blogging and blogger are there.. They are selected as part of the infinite list banned words in the school filter. Funny ey? =) We can't open blogger, livejournal, diaryland, blogspots, etc, because well.. Probably because they won't (and don't usually do) relate to school work. We can access hotmail, though you have to type the OTHER hotmail address and not simply type hotmail.com in the address bar. The (whole) unangelic website however, is a BANNED site for all the students, but not so for the teachers who have complete access to it at any given time of the day in school. Who knows how many teachers might be reading this web site right now *waves a hello*.

I'm working on two new projects right now, currently looking for someone to host a website for me because it seems lame to be hosted under me..hahaha XP for ethical and coolness maintenance reasons of course, but anything else..hehe and I'm working on someone's layout at the moment =) busy busy. Three weeks of holidays doesn't seem very long does it? I've got AS and A2 exams this January, starting on the 12th. I also have a total of 5 papers to sit and one physics practical to endure. It's going to be a good 2005 for me =))

Oh yeah, in case Pheng is reading this.. PHENG IS EVIL hehehe XP but I don't remember why.

17 days until new years.

love,
yasmin.

twoooot toot..

I woke up really early this morning, I MADE BROWNIES (!!!!!!) and as I predicted the other day.. I did stay home on Saturday night. I fell asleep at 9pm.. hehehe and was sulky because I didn't get to go down to KB. I did spend the morning with Yazie and Hazie <3. We went swimming at Empire, although the original plan was to play tennis but we decided it was too hot and Yazie purposely left the badminton rackets at home. I forgot to ask him to bring a basketball, so we ended up just swimming laps at the indoor pool. It was fun =))We ran into a bunch of JIS teachers there, including Mr. Horne who's birthday is tomorrow (EXJIS AND JIS STUDENTS, FLOOD HIS EMAILS WITH HAPPY BIRTHDAY WISHES HEHE =DD). He will be turning 40 to the nearest decade..hahaha and he was 30 to the nearest decade last year, so how old does that make him? Can you guess? =)) I always remember. Hehe. He said "Good bye Yasmin and Yasmin" to me and Yazie. hahaha it was funny at the time if you knew the story behind it..hehehehee (y'see, Yazie's last name is Yasmin..hahahaha).

I'm playing Smooth Jazz - Theme from Taxi.

I stayed out until 4pm, went to Gadong with Yazie. We had a late lunch (I did anyway) at Fleur de Lys. Ran into Ade and Eddie when we were walking at the Mall, saw Rinchen but didn't say hi (geez, I'm so evil). I saw Rachael too, and I poked her =)) the people with her must've thought I'm weird.. oh welsh.

I couldn't sleep when I got home, but I was really tired because I slept at midnight the night before. Woke up at 8am, or something like that.. chances are I probably woke up earlier. My airconditioning was making funny sounds, like chug chug chug *imitates a train tooting*.

I'm missing someone =(

I was webcamming with John S. (tra la la la la~ YOU OWE ME ROSES =DDD) before Qiqi picked me up around 1pm. We went to Aimi's house and dragged her out of the house despite her protests. Heh, "Okay, tell me your plans and I'll say no". Silly bum. We went to Gadong. In the begining we had no idea where we were headed when we walked out Aimi's door..hehehe but someone wanted to use Qi's driver so we had to make a decision. Ended up eating at the Mall and making appointments at The Spa Zone. haha. After that we just gaze around the lame-ass mall, and winded up at Centerpoint.. and ate again at Fratini's because I was hungry o=) yes, my appetite is coming back..hehehe isn't that nice? I have a huge craving for dim sum though. Can someone take me this weekend please? =)))

Qi and Aimi left around 5 because uh, they had to? lol. whatever lah~ I ran into Yazie's brother, Najib.. borrowed like 30cents off his credit since I'm OUT of credits. I have like, 1 cent remaining? and my line doesn't expire til March 2005. Haha. So screw it. I'm not recharging for a loonnng time~.

Reza texted me when I was waiting for my parents to pick me up. I met up with him at the Mall. So I decided to stay a bit longer. =)) We hung out at west Street where Syai was working. Hehe. Saw Hafiz and Ili there toooo =))) It's been a good day..haha

I saw Finah and Farid at Supasave. Hehehehehe *waves*

Okay, it's late. I still have my accounting homework to do. 5 days of school left! YAY!

luv,
yarz.

Fiction faceless.

Well the new layout is finally up. It's version 2 of /FALL, published with Avril Lavigne's Fall to Pieces in mind. Not my favourite colour, but it'll do. I refuse to say that the colour is pink, so let's stick with red and plum. I have called a number of people up today, not only to just get my facts straight.. but only to feel rejected and also feel like I've been slapped in the face. The things that have been happening for the past few days have been hurtful, disrespectful and dishonourable (edit: nah, happy now? :P). Despite the fact that there are moments when I have no idea to what people are referring to when they talk, because I don't think they really know as they're not the ones who feel others nor do they live in my shoes.

I wanted to call up the first person that occured in my mind, but realized that she would have no idea what I'm talking about. So screw that thought, and then I tried calling another person who I always turn to when I'm upset. Oh guess what? He's watching a movie. Sigh. It's okay, and you still don't know. Thank god for Yazie.. because he's always there.. although sometimes I forget that. I'm sorry when I do, it's not because I mean to. Hugs. Thank you for helping me pull through. I'm just so sick of everything right now, and even though school is ending next week.. I really don't want it to. It makes me sad when I think about it, because it will mean the end (and the actually graduation) of the 13J03's. That means, no more pestering George in study or break time, no more arguing with Pheng during break and lunch on why I should finish my meals, no more screaming out "HAZIE!!" to Hazie when she comes around.. It'll also mean no more bullying Atif =(( dude, that is so going to suck.

Another sad part? The UQJ04's are gone too =(( THEY ACTUALLY GRADUATED ALREADY. *sniff* No more Darryll, Athirah, Adibah, Alex, Brit. No more Athirah offering Yan Yan's at break.. no more annoying Adibah at whatever given time..hehehe :P But its okay, the UQA04's are still in JIS and they graduate the same time I do. bwahhaha =D

I was planning on going down to KB this weekend, but I'm still reconsidering it. I have two parties to go to this weekend, haha. Knowing me, I'm probably going to be indecisive and end up staying home, reading a book. Oh well, we'll see. I feel like playing basketball right now, though it's already in the middle of the night and my basketball ball is missing (it got stolen in MD..). I don't know why.. haha I've been playing a lot lately, especially this week. Basketball seems to be on my agenda every single day. That doesn't really matter though because I'm totally loving the sport. =)

I had my business mocks, once every week for the past two weeks. I got a nice B for my first paper and a comfy A in the second (even though my other teacher decided to mark me harshly and cut off like 3 marks..). It's funny though, because in the first paper I left out a whole question. I walked in late into the exam. Haha. =) The second mock was even sillier, I didn't understand a whole question. That killed about 15 marks or something. lol but it's all good~

I had my math mock, twice during this fortnight. One last week (on Tuesday) and one today. The one on Tuesday was scary though I still got a B on it. damn nice. Haha. But it was still silly because I felt like I didn't understand it. When I called Aimi up to ask about my paper, I asked her if our teacher had marked the right paper. Hahahahaha that's how unconfident I was. I think I did pretty badly in today's mock though. I am so screwed.

My tutor receieved an e-mail this morning, apparently my study teacher thinks I've been ditching my study periods. It's funny because I always show up to study period, and I never miss it. I was insulted when he e-mailed my tutor and said I've been ditching my study periods. baie kali. So I e-mailed him. I hope to god I didn't sound rude. but yeah, bari sasak.

Hakim lent me his white Nike bracelet. Haha. He wanted it back, and I was whiney. "Aku punya wah. baie kali". hehehehehe. awu wah, I'll give it back soon okays? =)

I called Yazid and Adeline today. hehe "I'm bored. SAVE ME". Unfortunately, one was still in Seria and the other was on the way to Gadong. Oh yes, I think I'll stay home this weekend and just sleep. god knows I need it.

I feel sulky.. and I miss looking at someone. who the hell invented crushes anyway. that boy in school. haiz.

luv luv,
yarz.

ellos.

Ellos =)) We got back form KL on Sunday evening, it was an exhausting trip because after every event (i.e. on the way back to the hotel).. everyone in the bus fell asleep. Except on Saturday night when we went to party at the Renaissance hotel. It was a lot of fun because everyone in the bus was just talking talking.. and we had two under 13 girls from the basketball team who joined in our bus ride back to the hotel. Ling ling who's got the bling bling that goes ching ching. I hung out with Pheng and the guys most of the time, other than that I'd be with Adeline and Michelle. But most of the time, I went around with Pheng.

Met a few ex-JIS students, like Sam and uh.. okay, make that just one because I don't recall seeing anyone else. We saw some people from the Basketball Tourney back in March.. oOhhh, the Regent Twins from Thailand! =)) They're nice people. We came second in our division, which sucked because the finals was the only game we lost that day. Blehs. But better than nothing right. We've got silver medals and everything =))

Though the trip was a bit weird without Aimi with me.. all in all, I had fun. I had Maria as a roommate, which wasn't as torturing as everyone told me it would be.. though I did have a hard time waking her up in the morning, despite the early wake up calls by our teachers and Ms. Webb jumping on her bed to wake her up..hehehe

Okay. I'll add more to this soon.

laters,
yarz.
