version 5.

I made a new layout last night, though I've been working on different versions of it for over a month now. I finally settled with this one because well, I just cannot be bothered to think of other ways of placing the blog XP The layout is under trial and has plenty of errors which will be fixed over the next few days. I made it with someone in mind, I hope that person knows I'm talking about them. But if they don't it's okay, no worries mate! =)

As of today, my exam will be just one week away. So people, I'm out for a while. I'll be back soon. =) wish me luck for my exams!

with love,
yasmin.

It's finally over.

Sixth form has gone by, I kinda wished that I cried yesterday but I didn't because it hasn't hit me that I'm no longer part of the school which has seen me grown for almost a quarter of my life (i.e. I mean, 5 years). It's hard to believe, considering the number of teachers and students that I've seen come and go over those years, that I'm now part of that enourmous group that's left Jerudong International School. After the exams are over, my best friend will be leaving for Australia although our initial plan was to go to UK and maybe end up living together, or at least be close by so we could visit one another over the weekends. Wishful thinking I suppose. Two of my other best friends are already down in Australia doing arts and information tech, while another one is up in Switzerland doing a sort of management degree.

Exams will be in just over a week from tomorrow, I can't wait because it'll mean all the skills and knowledge I've learnt over the two years will be fused on to a sheet of paper which will show my final A level grades in August. Isn't that just dandy? A 2 month wait from June. The suspense will kill me, and I want to see good results. I want to achieve the best I can be on that sheet of paper.

I remember crying when I realized that my best friend and I will be going seperate ways, to move on with our lives after four years of being by each others side. Every day in school, we would be eating our egg sandwiches at break (without veggies of course), along with a can of ice lemon tea or a bottle of water. It isn't exactly routine to me of course, it's just something that happens naturally. We are almost opposites although we do have a lot in common through our love for sports like basketball and netball, and thirst for mathematics.

It'll be her 19th birthday tomorrow. And it's only 2 hours away from now.

Happy birthday Aimi! =) I hope you like the presents I got you. I have a lot more to say, but I'm going to save that for your birthday card.

I love you mehamehaambu......... heh ;)

love,
yasmin.

death and rebirth of hostees.

I think I'm going to kick some hostee ass in the next few months. /adonis is gone now, along with . Talked to Meenur abt his site, and he's not going to update it and it hasn't been updated since forever anyway.

/underaged is a different story because he says I deleted his site. Mmm.. well, you can't access it at the moment. God knows where his index page went. I need to talk to you soon titz, please e-mail me what the problem is and I'll sort it out a.s.a.p. because you're giving me a headache. thank you <3 align="justify">rebirth. ha.

So anyway, I'm waiting for /diamonds to come back up because mzdebugz hasn't told me anything about closing/disappearing/suddenly appearing back again. hehe babe, email me please when your exams finish because I don't seem to have time to talk online nowadays :S

/dumplings will be up soon as part of Alisa's late birthday present. Geez, I'm slow.

Oh and new hostee: /orange. *kiss* say hello to Justin from Tazmania, Australia.

/stupidlogic is still on my *special* list because he's a doll and he keeps me updated with everything going on so I have no problem with him *heart*

I have no problem with /nayt because I live with her, and besides, her posts actually mean something and isn't random babling, thus the reason why her website is a must read.

I gotta love /rachy as she is still updated regularly though I don't talk to rach as much as I used to. =)

My darling, /exotic,updates maybe once every few weeks? can't blame her because of exam stress. I hope she'll update more when her exams finish.

/fwap bought a redirecting domain to her site.. hehe =) I know she's still working on improving fwap with her fwapping skills. No worries about that since the air is cleared. talked, and we're cool because I know what's going on. *mwah

/8teen is okay. but I find your layout scary =P because I'm afraid of horror movies.

/diya is on password protected. if anyone wants a pass, you'll have to find a way to contact her. not me. because I've put her in charge of her own password and access alllowance. love you darls

/shorty-bn has disappeared. hm. probably due to work. must stalk her at centerpoint soon.

Any other hostees; those I might have forgotten to mention; those who wish to remain hidden; those who have disappeared/have problems with their logins, plugins, life.. etc. Talk to me please because I need to know your status.

yup. okay. thanks.

that's all from me, until my next update.
love,
yasmin.

sucked out.

I think the only time I come around to posting is when I feel like whining. I suppose not whining is a good thing, because it means I don't have anything or much to complain about other than the damn heat we're having in Brunei thanks to the people who are burning forests in Miri and those stupid people who don't understand that the new Government rules have bloody banned open burning in Brunei. Dumb dumb dumb!!!!

I just drank like 3 cups of green tea. I'm going for my fourth and fifth one very soon. Y'know, the only time I drink excessive amounts of tea (may it be green tea, english breakfast tea or just plain ceylon tea) is when I'm upset. I'm damn well upset. I just ate half a packet of malteasers, which taste too sweet to me =( and it's suppose to be my favourite junk food. I've run out of ALL my nachos (probably because my sister has eaten them up), and I'm not in the mood for Jacob's crackers. *sigh*

In short, today practically sucked. Other than getting up only to find out that there is no frigging water in my room, and to find out that the water down stairs is freezing cold and they're only dripplets, I managed school fine. I had an accounting paper 4 mock exam which was bullocks because oh I don't know. The funny thing is that everything that came out was stuff I was good at, so why the hell did my mind go blank? Don't you just hate it when that happens? I guess I did manage to scrape up whatever thoughts or ideas I had in my head and just answered the questions.

I want to get school done and over with. I'm driving myself nuts because I can't make myself happy any more because of exam pressure and the expectancy for me to do well. I am not well. Everyone is making me SICK. STOP it. Leave me alone. PLEASE? I don't need any more remindings. I don't need you to push me. I know where the hell I'm leading, but right now I'm being pushed into hell.

xx,
yasmin.

updated on 25.01.2007:

My name's Yasmin Patera. I usually go by the name yas. I'm South-East Asian and was raised in a country called Brunei Darussalam. I'm the eldest of two siblings, so it's just my sister and I rocking our parents' world :) I'm turning twenty this year, and I have a boyfriend who won't let me forget it because he wants me to grow up, whatever that means.

I'm currently living in Loughborough, UK and studying my second year of my madness of a degree; BSc. Maths, Accounting & Financial Management at Loughborough University. I'd love it if more Bruneians came here and help me liven up the place more :-) We've reached a total of 30 people now, and I hope there are more to come. I am (since December) the unofficial president of Loughborough Brunei Society.. I hope for it to become official in a week and a half's time when elections come around.

I'm friendly and sociable in my own kind of way. I love sports; netball and basketball in particular.. but I'm flexible and I'm always up for new things as long as it doesn't involve too much pain. Sometimes I'm afraid of the dark and my imagination streches to places where it shouldn't go so I freak myself out very easily. There's always a demon lurkying around somewhere eh. I like staying indoors during Winter, taking long walks during Summer, and I don't like the rain very much. It looks depressing.

Unfortunately for me, I can only speak two languages: Malay (or Bahasa Melayu) and English with the first being my mother tongue. However, I do know a few words here and there of different languages (of which are too embarassing for me to admit so I'll keep quiet about them. lol). Physically, I'm normal built, 5"4 with a lot of spunk. I think glasses are too heavy to be worn all day so I usually stick with coloured contact lenses. Seriously, glasses do hurt if you wear them through out the day. Anyway, I'm left handed and I have relatively large hands.... and they scare me sometimes. I don't wear much make up, and when I do, they're normally from Benefit.

I have a favourite author; Jodi Picoult. I've got ten of her books so far and I'm hoping to build my collection. I don't have a favourite movie or anything like that.. but my all-time favourite actress would be Nicole Kidman, just because.
