Bye-bye Ken

Yesterday I got the honor to send Ken off to Bandar's tambing for her departure to Temburong. Aww kesian ia kemarin when she left the hostel, tears - parting from friends can be hard. Mai, Fifah and Zaty also joined me to drop her off at Kianggeh. What the hell, the girls kept screaming cause of my driving... Mai said I was too near to the car infront of me whenever I stopped at traffic lights or the roundabout, yatah she was like "Eeeeek ampir!" =_=

At the jetty, we met with Ken's dad. Then farewell ensues, picture taking with Ken and stuff before she left. Bye-bye Ken, a.k.a. Nisa Mohammad - I will always remember you as a good friend of mine, kadang lame, but you always thought of other people's feeling - which I think is your best trait. We went back to school around 2pm for the Japanese Open Day meeting.

I think I've left out many bits of life events due to my constant absence from the blogosphere. So, let me give a brief update:
Recently, I've discovered a piece of Nintendo 64 gem known as Super Smash Bros. (affectionately abbreviated as SSB), a kick-ass fighting game consisting of well-known characters from the Nintendo's franchise. I played it, and I liked it. One day, I think in the middle of exam months - I'm not sure precisely when, I brought it to school and introduced it to Ayman, Mai and Ken, we were in Maths class I remembered. The next day, Ong got into the game too, and it simply took off from there, becoming sort of like the staple game of the day whenever we are in school together. Multiplayer with them is just crazy! and that's when I started to love the game. So yep, basically it all happened during the exams, since we usually have many free times. As a way to err... release stress, and... preparing for revision.

Hummm what else. During the Japanese Open Day meeting yesterday, most of us MAC members played moar SSB hahahaha, oyeahh. With Ayman on vacation, I stole his Fox's spotlight with my Kirby heheh. Total win, sampai inda kana suruh main... =_=. Noob for the day was: Nish, Hazim, Haziq, Amal, Aya and Mimi. Epic si Aya's Samus, she used her up+B special, yatah all of Amal's, Mimi's and Nish's character got trapped in her rolling madness. And what teh, Hanif, Haziq and Hazim all teamed up against me, using Kirbies hahaha - I still win though, twice *whistle*.

And as for today! The Sunday, the day most waited if it was school term but not so much during the holiday... I... only played games. Continued with Final Fantasy VII, though macam err... boring. And I tried to master Ness in SSB, but I gave up few hours later, he's just... hard to control, and I have trouble navigating his PK Thunder correctly for his final recovery move. Oh well, I always have Kirby. HIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!

Done With Exams

Exams has finally ended. It felt unbearably draggy, cause my papers was evenly distributed throughout the whole two months. So I always have like one exam paper per week, two papers the most, yatah. But yehh, at least it's ovar now.

To err... celebrate - our freedom, we went out to the mall yesterday. There was an art exhibition on that day, Ken got 2nd place, but I think I missed the award giving ceremony hahah. The event was too early, 8:15am ah, balum ku mandi. I went there around 10am kali, and met up with Mai and Ken, with Mai's lil bro. Lepas tu tunggu dorang-dorang lagi. After si Ong datang, we went to the arcade, main photo hunt, we fail to beat the top score even though there were 5 of us hahah. Then Hannan came, I slipped away from them with Ken for awhile, and both of us main DDR hahaha, awsmex, pasal inda ramai orang.

After lunch, kami round the CD store, saja-saja kan check games. Then I spotted something epic... GASP! Super Smash Bros. Brawl for Nintendo Wii.

This one game alone felt like getting a Wii would be worth it... but... entah eh, if only we can have it all hahahaha. :s

Then yada-yada, Hanif and Qays joined. I saw Azli and Zawir at the cineplex, about to watch movie too I think. Then we watched "2012" at 2pm.
It was... nyeh, it's visually impressive, but that itself didn't make up the predictable storyline. But I must admit, Yuri is cool.

Bought $5 worth of Takoyaki, and 3 pieces of tahai curry puff for a dollar heheh. I spent TOO much on food.

The next day, which is today, I went to school to settle the leaving certificate form. I arrived around 8:30am, and Mai came few minutes later. We went up and saw Ong with Vami at the registrar's office. Bla bla bla, went back and forth trying to find teachers to sign our forms.

THEN, the moment we've all been waiting for, SSB! >:D
4 players epicness, even more chaotic, even more dramatic especially when the hammer is spotted hahaha. Kirby ftw! My favorite moment is when I hit the POW block and sent all three of them to heaven hahaha, awesome. All of us seems to have our own favorite character now, Ayman got Fox, Ong with Donkey Kong, Mai with her Yoshi, Ken with Jigglypuff and as of late, Hanif with Pikachu, and last but not least, me with my trustworthy, ground-pounding, air-sucking, ability-copying Kirby. Hiiiiii!

After what seems like many sessions of SSB, we went down for lunch, and it started raining hard, very hard. I wanted to go home after lunchtime but the rain showed no sign of slowing down, so I just waited, sang "Shima-uta" with Mai and Ong (both of them have Japanese Open Day meeting later about decoration) at the canteen like wth... siuk kami nyanyi ah hahaha, it's for the Japanese Open Day next week, so it's like practice la. Then there's a text message from Willson saying he needed a lift to MD from Bandar's jetty around 2 to 3pm (I'm guessing he just got back from Temburong). I agreed to it, and waited further by even moar SSB session with Ong, Mai and Ken! HEHEHE.

So I went to Bandar about 2:30pm, and went to the jetty a.k.a. tambing. I seriously don't know where the tambing was initially... because, I thought isn't there many here in Bandar? hahaha. But Ken gave me a bit of pointer before I go since she's from Temburong herself, at least now I knew it's past the Kianggeh bridge. It was still raining, and my car's windows was fogging up like hell, I could barely see a thing from inside unless I wiped it off clear with my own hand. Then yada-yada, ia bawa banyak barang... and that loudspeaker, I had to ask, heh, rupanya for the hostellites appreciation night thing. So back to MD we went, dropped Willson at the hostel, and he gave me $5 again =_=, teksi kaliii... tapi inda apalah, at least it feels good helping a friend out, especially when you don't know when you'll ever see them again. Willson is a cool guy, very talkative, and very talented too, best at music and magic - never been dull sitting next to him in Geography. Awww, and Ken will be leaving for Temburong tomorrow too. Goodbye my friends, hopefully we'll be able to see each other again in the near future.

And theeeeeeeeeeeen. Aku balik. Lot's of time on my hand, and I just finished downloading Final Fantasy IX, and just got Crash Team Racing from Ong. Wohoooo! RETRO GAMES HERE I COME!

ALEVEL

I'm currently sitting for my October/November 2009 A'Level exam, a very big exam... so... this blog will be... err, yeah. So far I've only done Maths paper 1, 4, and just today, Maths paper 3. I did crap, but I won't comment any further; will just wait for the result to speak for itself next year. I still got 3 papers each for Business Studies and Geography. Hopefully I don't mess up that one.

Below are some blog drafts that I don't think I'll ever finish. I had a lot of drafts lately, because nowadays I tend to stop typing in the middle of blogging, then got too lazy to continue.

Wild AKIF appeared!
Wild AKIF used BLOG!
It's super effective!

I scoured YouTube early in the morning before going to school, and found loads of Perfume's remixes which I believe are unofficial work, and all of them are amazing! I especially loved K.466's mixes, and "The best thing ( 69mix )" is one of the best I've heard.

Few days ago, also on YouTube, I was Pefumeroll'd. The video was sort of like a parody of Perfume's "I still love U" PV, but instead of the 3 kawaii-kyaa-desu-desu-desu girls, we have 3 dudes donning wigs to look exactly like them, and they call themselves Pefume hahaha! I've seen the original PV before, and I was looking for it again to download it off the net, but when I saw Nocchi who suddenly had 2 big moles on her face, I instantly went like: "WHAT THE HELL IS GOIN ON HERE?". I got it a few minutes later, and laughed so hard because the fake PV is almost nearly the same as the original; the movement, the gestures, even the laughing near the end. Seriously made my day. So malas to look for it again on YouTube to share it here, but shouldn't be hard though if you're interested.

Back to present, went to school about 9PM. I only brought my business studies stuff instead of mathematics. Went to LT, and gila, full house haha, and panas. Sat down and continued doing the PYP from where I left last night, which was at Section B - darn those essays! Only managed to do one questions (altogether 20 marks, gimme a break) out of the three, which is actually the paper's requirement, but since this is revision, I need to do all of them.

Went down to canteen with them but I didn't buy anything because I have an epic zero dollar in my wallet. I spent $7 last Wednesday at the canteen hahaha! $3 for the Una-don, $3 on drinks and a dollar on french fries, was broke since then.

Yada yada yada, we were suddenly at the mall. The original plan was just to go jalan-jalan, but... last-last liat wayang jua. Me and Ong was looking for PSones CD because we're currently on PSone fever haha. There was a bunch of uninteresting one at Deejay, but other than that, there was none to be found sadly, even at EGM - given their long existence in Brunei's gaming market. Fath bought PES2010 at EGM, ahh the joy of having a PS3, except maybe for the farfetch'd price.

(...END?)

Bah itu ajer. Goodluck for the exam people!

Thursday Lunch Out: Kimchi Restaurant

It's Thursday, and we know what that means!
"Makkkkan luar?"

Oh wait, since it has been a while since I last blogged, I thought I would make a quick summary update on what's been happening. Here goes:
~ It's Hari Raya Aidilfitri! Which fell on 21st of September, so it basically has been going for weeks already. My raya was great, even though I didn't had the chance to go convoy with the 5As ;( BUTTT, it was still nice nonetheless. InsyaAllah, I'll try to post some blog updates on raya 9_9 y'know me... malas kan blogging.
~ Holiday ended on the 28th of September, and it's back to school. Ehh, my classes was mundane, basically finished Geography's syllabus, Business was cancelled since teacher was sick, and I only had Maths. Our college's canteen operator changed to; to a more cleaner, and umm... nicer tender, I guess. No more Nasi Ayam Goreng sadly, but finally! They served pure french fries! Hurray..... err.
~ After school raya is fun.

It's Thursday, and we know what that means!
"Makkkkan luar?"

We decided to try Korean food this time, so we went to Kimchi Restaurant in Kiulap.

Kimchi is the bomb! Been dying to eat it cause the last time I did was way back last year during the Korean culture day held by MD's Korean culture club. Zul didn't like it that much though hahah. As a party of six hungry people, we ordered the shabu shabu set - which I don't think was all-seafood cause there was meat, so I don't know.

I ordered me some fine chicken teriyaki lunch set.

It has arrived...

Unfortunately, we're all super n00b in this shabu shabu thing. Translation: no idea at all. So we just dumped the ingredients in bit by bit hahah! Since I can't capture well the jokes we made about the waitress at that time in blog post, I'll just keep it as an inside joke.

I liked the broth, the spiciness is just right.

Hope we're doing it right there. Conclusion: Though it was a very pleasant experience, I don't think I'd want to go there again anytime soon. Unless, the craving for kimchi start to kick back in. Oh, I'd like to try the seafood pancake if I do go there again, and try the bbq/grill menu.

September So Far

So my mock exam finished last week's Monday, the last paper was Business Studies paper 3. Thus I got about a full week of unofficial holiday, because the mock exam is still up and running 'til Saturday. I still went to college on Thursday and Saturday though, albeit late - for club, because I know I got nothing better to do at home anyway.

5th September 2009 - Saturday
It's my birthday! Happy birthday to me! I'm nineteen, a teen still, in the dawn of err... adulthood, pshh. I love birthdays.

6th September 2009 - Sunday
Happy 19th birthday to lame Zaitul Farahhinnah! Haha, well I know you enjoyed your day, since it's the 11th of September now thanks to the time machine.
There was supposed to be a sungkai outing planned at Excapade Sushi, but it was moved to Monday because all of the girls couldn't make it. In a way, I'm glad it was postponed, because then I can join the vivas for sungkai out at C.A. Mohamed, with our own asgai, Azri AR, who's on a break for a few days from bootcamp haha. Of course I knew there'd be a birthday cake. I mean, c'mon...

VIVA 5A+BIRTHDAY=CAKE

I felt bad for hunting for clues the first moment I met up with them at the mall xp And I got my first clue from Comel, yay!
Cim: Mana si Fathin?
Comel: Ia ke Kiulap, membali... *stop and turn around*
Hahaha. Rilek saja ku. We went to C.A. Mohamed around 5.45pm, and ordered our food. I ordered Mango fish and Teh Tarik. Err... the Mango fish, not so good. Then the cake came out, yayy, hahaha, thanks for the cake guys. You people are awesome as usual. Then went to Fotoplus, for some professional group photo... stuff. Can't wait to see the picture. Like I said, I love birthday.

7th September 2009 - Monday
Extra public holiday to commemorate the Nuzul Al-Quran. Another day out for me, Excapade Sushi! Yay, withdrew $50 few days ago especially for this... and of course, for some other stuff xp Watched The Final Destination before that, with Hanif and the seniors - Elevians. Annoying sikit watching that movie, because again and again, it's gasoline, gasoline, GASOLINE - they've really ran out of idea, the writers. But the gore effects are great still. Then to Excapade! I spent $18, good enough - and I was freakin' full to the point of puking. Fath ordered a lot as usual, sitting next to him is golden opportunity haha. Banyak ketawa atu kali jua bagi kan muntah... haha.

8th September 2009 - Tuesday
School resumes. And got my mock exam's result already (except for Business - teacher said we won't have any class until Saturday), it was bad - pretty deserving for a mediocre performance. I got 41.5/100 for Geography, and 29/125 (U) for Maths. Great.

9th September 2009 - Wednesday
Ahh, 09/09/09. Ngangah's birthday, and Otsuka Ai's too. My Geography marks was increased by 2 marks heheh, lucky. Another sungkai out with friends was planned today, but I had second thought and thus a bit reluctant to join. Anyway more to that later, I watched The Final Destination, again, with Su, Zaitul, and Yuni around 12:50pm. Man, I love watching the girls squirm haha! Su at one point was like, "This is so shocking!", around the part where the rock flung into the mother's eye, then gasping on another part - kan ketawa ku. Then on the part where the mechanic's body went through the fence's mesh, Zaitul was like "Macam lasagna"... err, of all things. Since aku lanja, duitku tinggal $14. Minyak kerita kan abis, I went home around 3pm, tired. All of the combination above made the sungkai at airport's Express seems so far away for now, and I felt like I spent too much money already. So I passed it off, home food is great too anyway, and it's free. Sorry I couldn't come, or rather, I wouldn't come hehe.

10th September 2009 - Thursday
I finally bought the wasabi powder at Sno-Food, Gadong - for $4.20 in a packet. The wasabi in small tube at Hua Ho cost me about $2.70, so I felt the powder form is a great enough deal. Time to make more veggie mix tempura heheh! Which'll cost me another $10 for the ingredients...

Waaasabiii!!!

I made these about a week ago - and it was freakin' good! For a first try, I impress myself.
