a cousin's outing

Soo...today Nurul planned a day out for us all. We're going



at JPMC today. I'm pretty sure we won't be taking photos later, so this is close enough...

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA. It's weird, I know. Abg Afiq looks like he's carrying a monkey :p
Anyway, I'll update about our day later! See you. Take care everyone! CHEERS! :D

Some missing family members.

Everyone's busy with the upcoming party we're having this new year's eve for Grandmum's birthday and most of our cousin's won't be here to celebrate it with us, Abg Zay (UK), Abg Zun (AUS), Abg Az (UK), Kaka D (KL) and a parent as well, Pamit in Aus. So, there's less hands involved in this party this year...meaning more to do for us here. Hahaha. Oh, not forgetting that we're having it at the 'new' house, of course everyone knows where that is. Haha.

Oh, we're actually thinking of making a performance during that day but...HAHAHA...kami sucky...sooo...it's still under considerations. Plus, we never got to make the performance we wanted to make during mother's day soo, maybe this is the time!! :p We'll see about it. It'll be fun and FUNNY.

Anyway, we're having games for the kids and the old, tons of prizes to be given away, and of course lucky draw (I guess this could be said as the crowd favourite). OHH! We're actually thinking of making 'bop it' as one of the games for the adult! Hahaha. It'll be funny, just like how Pamit started. It was hilarious! :p It'll add more 'fun' to the party.

Okay. I guess that's it. Just updating abit so the family members overseas knows what we're doing here. We'll update photos of the preparation and the actual day soon insyAllah.

The days of our lives

The tittle actually sounds abit too big for what I am about to write, but I like it, so don't judge :p

Soo, i've been spending my 10 days of December, overseas and it's been an amazing experience. It's probably my third time being away from my family. This time i'm with the J.C (inside joke :p) and one of the M.C (again...inside joke) family. Experiencing the student life overseas which me, Dani and Abg Afiq will hopefully be going through ourselves in years to come...Amin...

Anyway, the first day we arrived, it was abit of a suprise since we didn't think it would be that 'hot' and before we came here, me and Abg Afiq thought that what the parents meant by 'no airconditioner' was like saying, 'it's just not working' but instead it was literally saying 'THERE IS NO AIRCONDITIONER'. First night was something to get used too, and as days go on, the weather, the heat was just another thing we get by throughout each day. We do still say it's hot but we don't complain, there's nothing we can do about it anyway. HAHA.

We travel by foot most of the time, bus as well, not forgetting the city cat (person-ferry) and the train. Walking TO our destination always seem fast as we get all hyped up thinking of the things we'll get and the "BOOST" (a smoothie bar) drinks we'll be drinking, although walking BACK home seems never-ending...tired, aching foots as well as the chilly weather on certain nights. Nonetheless, it's always fun having your family as company, the laughters, the tease, the 'speaking in Malay because they all don't understand' thing we do. HAHA. The worst part about being here is missing the people back home, family members of course (:

We spend most of our days shopping...more shopping and even more... We came here, invited, to attend our beloved cousin, Mohd. Zunnurain Haji Zaini's graduation on the 10th of December 2008 at University of Queensland due to his achievement in Multimedia Design. CONGRATUALTIONS. Jangan LADIS-LADIS (inside joke...HAHA). Another memorable day I could say was the day we went to the Art Musuem which Hamdi insisted in going. It wasn't 'THAT' bad, it would've been better if we went to the Scientific Museum but oh well... I could say that on the 15th December would be 'a day well spent', we went to the LONE PINE KOALA SANCTUARY where we saw, touched, fed, took photos with as well as SMELT smelly animals. Some of the animals will be shown below, so enjoy:

and there's plenty more...

That late evening, we went down to Gold Coast, a tourist attraction. We ate at this Malaysian restaurant, we had the KING CRAB~ Seriously HUGE! A meal that I would say, as a 'never could be forgotten' dish, (there's a story behind it) just simply crazy but in the end, I guess it was all worth-it.

Tonight, my last day being here, I can honestly say it is/was definitely a memorable experience, another chapter to be added in the book of 'life'. I'd have to say thousands of Thank yous to Mummy and Babah for letting me go, Amit and Pamit for inviting me over and taking good care of me, for everything of course, (providing us food, shelter as well as showing us a good time). It surely is something I appreciate. Thank youuu...Thank you...and Thank you...

At times, days just seem longer but now it's time to go home. The 10 days are over, no more waking up fighting for the toilet to take a bath first, 'who's things are these?' questions to hear, seeing Hamdi's tummy bouncing as he constantly flashes it to us, seeing it jiggle up and down (and all those things his tummy can do. HAHA), no more late night movies we watch just to make us fall asleep, no more waiting on bus stops and making fun of the woman standing next to us just because she's on the phone and talking as if the other person on the other line was deaf. HAHA)...just all these little things we do is something memorable.

I end this, Finally making a post after such a long time of being in Hiatus. Congratulations to Abg Zun, thank you to the loving parents and we'll be seeing everyone later this evening. We'll be flying off around noon so, i'm signing off now. It's around 3am here and we're watching "Saw V" soo... good night and sweet dreams!

Love,
Fifah.

Sleepless nights

As you all may have known, some of the Mabohai cuzin members travelled to aussie to celebrate their undearest cuzin awang Ain graduate on the 10th of december 2008 at the University of Queensland... (right now my buttocks is in PAIN). Tonight( 1.50 am 17th december) will be the last night for us members in Aussie as we had back to Brunei in the afternoon. Right now everybody is playing with their own lappys, Abang Afiq is busy skyping, Abang Zun busy writing his 'so called Novel' and Kaka fif chatting and I aka. dannyboy wiriting this blog... Sorry for my english ah kalau salah, Wawawawa.....

We all are just waiting for 'Saw 5' to be burned into dvd so we can watch Not so Hi-def on the NECK Tv and enjoy the gruesome and thrilling action pack heartbelching movie that we all grew up and love to see...


CHOW~ Happy Holidays people.. You people might not even visit this blog anymore.. Haha... It's been dead for months... =P

~Dani.~

All in one.

It has been more than a month since this blog's been updated, we've all been busy with our exams and assignments and no one has time to update this like we used too. Soo...

I'm going to just write everything in one post instead of different ones; talking about different things. Anyway...to those who doesn't know, me and Nurul bought 'twin laptops'. She bought it a week after I did. I think it's already been 2-3 months since we got it, the tablet HP Pavilion tx2000. Drawings are fun to dooo. :)




Oh, remember on my last post I said I was going to bake cupcakes? Well, I did, that Saturday with Nurul. We printed out a recipe from the internet but didn't follow the exact ones given, but instead we made it our own. We changed quite alot of the ingredients...and guess what? It was NICE. Abit sweet but tasty... (Yes, it doesn't look pretty in that photo, because it just came out of the oven and the 'cup' thing wasn't opened yet. But that day was great, it was our first time baking cupcakes and it turned out perfect. Simply amazing. Since we made quite alot, we brought some to hafiz's birthday party the next day. Next task is to learn to bake a real CAKE! :D


We just got back from KL about a week ago and of course had to bring Burger King back here. Can you believe that was my FIRST time ever tasting Burger King cause as you people know, I don't eat burgers due to all those 'thingies' in it. The Mushroom beef burger was it?! was yummy. The only one I could eat that is (but still, eating it feels weird cause I've never eaten burgers before and I could still imagine it containing all those 'thingies' I don't eat in it). HAHA. But yes, it was nice. Soo...I missed 17 years of Burger King, just simply watching other people eat, enjoying it while I, feel disgusted as I thought there were onions and such in it (well, there is but not in the mushroom beef burger!). Such regrets. HAHA.



How I wish we had Starbucks here. Loved the Hot Chocolate and the Chocolate Cream Chip~ Since I don't drink coffee, Chocolate's my coffee. :) We had Starbucks the whole time we were in KL, just cause we knew that we weren't going to be able to taste it until the next time we go back there. The pastry there wasn't that bad either. Loved the crispy croissant~



I came to school, 7th June, a Saturday with a suprise waiting. A friend of mine texted me up to meet her in class to pick up something...and it was KRISPY KREMEs!! Flown over from Australia the day before by her sister who got us ONE BOX EACH!









(Love that! "best before: eaten by someone else!" HAHA) The infamous donuts we keep hearing from the Jerudong-ians were finally here. I shared with my family member and some of you guys, abg Afiq and someone, I forgot...since it's not something we can find here and i'm thankful I got to taste it since the last time we were suppose to have them, amit and pamit accidentally left it back in Aussie and abg Zun enjoyed it ALL to himself. It's extremely sweet though but taste good. Baby ate 2 and wanted more, that's how much he loved it. Hopefully, by reading this, Abg zun would get the hint. HAHA. =p







That's it for now.

Food

Hello everyone. It's been awhile since I've posted anything here and since I have some pictures to share and a SHORT story to tell, I just decided to blog and update a lil'.

It has been about two weeks now that Mizan has been "hanging out" in Mabo; no one at his place to look after him. Since he's here, he's always hungry after he comes back from Ugama and looking at his "CANGKIR" figure, I decided to get food for him and the rest of us too (I was actually the one hungry and made him as an excuse. HAHA. Kidding) Anyway, today I didn't feel like getting outside food and instead, made them something I saw my mum made last time. I have no idea if I was being observant buttt..."antam saja lah". See Photos below:

I know, it's a mess! Haha. But you can't blame me~ I had to do what I had to do to feed those kids. Even if I had to turn the whole kitchen upside downn! Haha.

But it sucks though. Cause I ended up eating tooo! Haha.

You know what I just found out after they finished eating? Jan jan ate the bread and left the chicken while Zhar ate the chicken and left the bread! (as seen above) HAHA. It was useless to put all those together when I could've just gave one; the chicken and one; the bread. HAHA. But anyway, atleast I tried and although it doesn't look good, they said it taste 'alright'. Ohh! and for the record, Mizan said I make better food than Nurul. HAHA.

Next task is to make "cupcakes" with Nurul. InsyAllah this saturday. Yayy! If it turns out good, i'll send some to all of youuuu to taste. =)

I end my posts with a quote which has nothing to do with anything I wrote up there =p

"Follow your bliss and the universe will open doors for you where there were only walls"
- Joseph Campbell

I think I should post quotes each day from now on. but then....we'll see. =p
Have a nice day my dearest family membersss and i'll be seeing all of you soon.

Lots of Love,
Fifah

Hi-tea at Japanese Ambassador

Got stress doing my report. So started to blog for awhile~ ahaha. As state above, this Hi-tea happen on the 29/3/2008. The Japanese embassy wanted to congratulate us (BJFA-UBD Chapter) on the hard work we put in the Japanese Language and Culture week. Since it was a huge success. They provide us an opportunity to go to the Japanese ambassador house and have hi-tea there.

Here is a group photo of all the people present.

Kendo people taking photo with Mr Miyazaki (we call him Miyazaki-sensei since he's already a san-dan (3-dan) rank) in the embassy doing a stance called Jodan-no-kamai.

If I'm not mistaken, the next picture is the japanese house wife with our Japanese teacher (second from the right) with orang menyampuk (takashi-san on the left). Miss Kono on the right is the person who taught some of us BJFA-UBD chapter member how to do ikibana (flower arrangment).
Here is a picture of Japanese people (including the ambassador, Mitsubishi corp people, one of the Japanese embassy people- Mr Ogihara on the far right, Japanese house wife and our Japanese teacher) with Lim Han (head of BJFA-UBD chapter) and Head of Language Center in UBD.

Random photo taken during the entire event~ ehehe

A 3rd Dan Kendo Sensei becomes a bartender. O.O

Calligraphy. Sited next to the entrance. I find this spot a beautiful place as the calligraphy is hang above a stone surrounded by smaller stone. The place is then covered by a skeleton like box (a frame la).

On the right, always saw her whenever there's event concerning with the Japanese embassy. I think she is the translator. On the left, she talks to me about some of the japanese culture when i was there. She told me about the "Hina-Matusri" (means Hina doll festival). Its a culture where they celebrate an event for girls. This festival is for the Japanese people pray for girls' happiness and health, eating special food and is held during the 3rd March (obtain from http://gojapan.about.com/cs/japanesefestivals/a/japanesegirlday.htm).

Picture of what seems like a tea ceremony room

At present time, I can't seems to upload the Hina-Matusri dolls that was display there. ^^ So, i stop here for awhile. Ah, good luck to the people who's going to sit for their exam soon~ Well then guys. Cheers~

Nurul's Mini Palace in the making

Last Sunday, a family outing was organised at Jalan Limpaki where construction of Nurul's house is progressing well. So Kyzr was there with his Nikon D40X and Dani inda mau kalah dengan Canon EOS 40Dnya. Here are the pics:

It's me again.............

Sorry, it's me again - your resident guest blogger. He..he..., it has been a while that this site has not been updated. I know for sure that Jobe is pretty tied up with his project and assignments. So too Kyzr, with his looming exam just around the corner. Our cuz in Liverpool is also sitting tight with his exam commencing early May. So what are the rest of us doing? I suppose "menyibukkan diri" lah!! That's why I volunteer to put pen to paper this time, just to keep the momentum going and help those in the exam 'fever' take a short break and glance through this site, once in a while.

There's nothing much to write this time, of course. Things are pretty quiet at the moment - but I'm sure everybody is looking forward to that KL trip next month. Sorry Jobe, you won't be able to make it this time but we'll have a reunion in June when you're back for your short vacation.

I was just scanning through the contents of the small camera that Dannie brought with him on his recent trip to the UK. Just to fill up this page, I thought I would just post some of the pictures he took in Manchester (Old Trafford). Here they are........
