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.
love,
yasmin.

I order most of my DVDs from Amazon; I used to order from the UK site before the exchange rate went sky-high, and when that happened, I started ordering from the USA site instead [when one exchange rate goes up, the other goes down. Fantastic coincidence. :D]. Anyway, the service is pretty reliable. Never had my mom's credit card number stolen or anything, and the stuff that you order usually arrives within just slightly more than a week after the items are dispatched [and that could take some time, depending if Amazon needs to order copies from the publisher if they don't already have them in hand], or at latest two weeks, in my personal experience. The postage charge for books is kind of expensive though... About BND$13? Postage for DVDs and CDs are cheaper. But just out of interest, what sort of books are you planning to order from Amazon when you can get almost all of the popular titles from Brunei and Singapore? Not trying to dissuade you from ordering, but it's just that having an additional $8 or so [there're always discounts, so postage charge minus discount] tacked onto a price of a book that usually costs about $17 is kind of... expensive, don't you think? Anyway, hope this helps. :D

ohh.. lol thats one long comment tash =) but thank you. very very very helpful. lol. yeah, i figure I could buy the books in sg or brunei.. but sometimes books are a bit to slow to arrive here.. and there are a lot of books they don't sell here (i.e. the banned ones. hahaha!) and I've got other things I have in mind that I'd like to get.. thank you again =)))
You're welcome! Banned books? Ooh, bookstores ban books in Brunei? Interesting. ;) But, hehe, how are you going to get the books through customs/declaration/er, whatever you call them when they arrive here? Anyway, no problem. See ya around!
