I've got an aunt's wedding to attend in Tutong in half an hour. I'm dressed but everyone else in this house isn't. I've got to admit this is one of the things I look forward to when I come home, seeing the rest of my crazy extended family. I spent the first week I got back in hiding, seeing one or two or five of my Loughborough friends. I'm not at all crazy about the others because I don't think they're that all crazy about me being back anyway even though they said they were? Heh. I've got other matters at hand anyway.

With LufBru and Khairul from Wales(?) at Heathrow Airport

My second cousin and her dad arrived in Brunei on Friday from Malaysia, I didn't get to see them til late that night because I was out having dinner with Fol's family in Gadong. She's studying to be a medic in Indonesia and so is her younger sister, which I think is really cool.. considering my side of the family, weeelll.. we'd probably prefer to count (not to mention spend) money than save lives. :-P The aunts and uncles made a fuss about it though, you know .. the whole "oooohh, their side .. all of them are into medicine, etc". Kinda makes you wonder though, is that really a fair thing to say to us "up and coming" accountants/engineers? I don't think anyone in my side of the family is aspiring to be a doctor. So yes, I bluntly said, "We'd rather count money". Again, heh. Like my brilliant aunt said yesterday, "If we get sick, we'll just fly to KL". Heh.

With Wani, Mariam and Minul at Swensons.

I had a great time with my second cousin though, I took her to UBD to pick up food and drove us to my cousin's house in Rimba. It felt like we had been eating the whole day (we probably were) and that evening, I took her to watch the women's teams play i.e. Muara Gas v Ranoadidas.com. It was great seeing a whole bunch of people I used to play with at RBA and other school matches. Our first baskeball match is tonight against GK Goldsmiths, shame our team didn't get sponsors..coulda saved me $30. hahaha but I am grateful to War's older sister for sponsoring our registration :) Thank you very much.
