Life... Update

Well AS/A2 results is just around the corner... Heard its about 2 weeks from now..
Hmm... I'm becoming more nervous everyday, not cause im afraid that im gonna fail (im fairly confident ill pass, thank you!), its something else... something which is my fault haha...

Fyi I took the A2 exam for Computing last June, when we haven't even cover 1/2 of the A2 syllabus yet.. There were only 2 fresh takers that time, Me and this other guy from the only other computing class (which we usually ignore cause I am not in their class, hahahahha :D )

Not long after submitting the exam registration form, the news spread. All my computing classmates knows and somehow we felt challenged (and a little annoyed) that the other guy dare to take the exam. So, they pretty much consider the exam as a competition between the classes.

At that time, i was really2 confident that Ill be getting an A.. Too confident that I technically promised them that.

Some of the boys in my class were actually good friends with this guy.
Okay, lets assume this guy = X.

For a brief period of before the exam to just after the exam, these good friends of X in my class actually turned against him by telling me all his secrets, saying bad things about him, complaining how stupid he is and yadayadayada..
Its like, for that time, X could do nothing right. The competitive feeling inside us grew so fast (n furiously :P) that we can't help it. Even our teacher hates him.

Although honestly, at that time, i wasn't at all feeling challenged as I WAS really2 confident in myself. Actually, at times i even feel bad for him... Guess I do have feelings afterall haha..

Fast forward, exam came and as usual i didn't sleep during the night before any exam. Sleepless=cranky=reckless=NoThinkB4Talk=regrets later..

Haha, so i sat for comp exam. I can't remember any of them now actually. What I do know is that I did SMS my tcer on how easy the papers were although i didn't remember sending them. And X even told my friends that I told him that the papers were nothing. I do not know whether that is true or not, but according to X's reputation, he is no liar..

So yeah....I didn't really feel any pressure until now when the results are coming. All sorts of thoughts came across my mind.. What if i didnt get an A, what if I failed, what if, what if..... My class's reputation will be ruined.. blablabla...... things that I never thought of during and after the exam.. The worst thing is that I didn't even remember doing any of them :S

I hope and pray to God that I will get an A, no B, but A... Just 'A's all along.. Amin...
So the morale of the story? Get enough sleep, when you don't, keep your mouth shut... And also, think months ahead before you speak hahahha..

Anyway, my mom pretty much allowed me to go abroad next year today.. yeay!!! Tho she didn't mention it directly..

Another thing, recently I have used the word "bangang" a lot to my friends in MD. I dunno why. I just says it whenever a friend:
a)dun get my jokes(tho i know mines are pretty lame)
b)dun hear wat i was saying
c)din do their hws
d)talk too much
e)and everything else..

Yup, I think i says it all the time without any specific reason.. So far I haven't said i to any tcer, yet.... And I tend to be race-specific when i says it like "melayu-bangang", "cina-bangang", "india-bangang".. and some other prefixes like "kanak2-bangang", "bangang-sejati", "kepisan-bangangnya" and so on.... Seriously, i have to stop... I think it have something to do with the upcoming results... Oh God... Please2 give me all A.....

Shredded Letter

Let me have this moment to express my days with you not around. It was torture. Every end of the line I arrived onto was hell.

I went to Shen and hoped to find a new light but I can't really stand her. She's just too good to be true.

I went to Ikma and hoped to understand what I didn't but things got sidetracked and I was ditched.

That's just as far as I went but...I had a chance to be with the girl of my dreams and I blew it. I makes me wonder what god has in store for me later.

She was already the best and I really should have kept my promise to her: to not let her go, to be with her forever.

I still love her to this day but I don't know how to act but seeing her today made me realise that I won't be in her list. She even slap me for kissing her.

I love her but, hey. i'm just a bad guy, a very bad guy. What do I know? I don't have the right words, the rightest and the nicest things to say to her. I was ready to learn my ultimate but I backed away knowing she'd somehow hate me. I had no choice; I was and still am dumb.

So, blogger J, I'm not hoping for you to believe me. No one ever teaches me again like you do. What can I do? But it's ok now; at least I know where I'm wrong now. You deserve the best and I'm sorry I'm not the one to give you the best when I wish I could.

At least, can you please tell me when you're going back...? Because the next time we meet will be our last.

Yours now and forever,

blogger D

The Great Art of Hateful Speech Rebuttal

I have spent years of my life trying to perfect my skill on rebutting people's speech with hateful remarks. If there is any official ranking for it, I think would be at least a Master. However, today I experience a force from somebody that makes my efforts all these years seems futile.

So here goes...


My friend, Miss Mcl, asked me to help her solve some maths problem before her test. So i did. Waited in her class until all her classmates and teacher came in. This is when it happened. It goes something like this:

Student: Teacher! I'll fail this test again! No need test t'cer!

Teacher: No, have to...

Student: I hate you...

Teacher: OHH, ITS OKAY... ITS NOT LIKE I LIKE YOU...

Haha, I literally dropped my mouth open. Its not just the words, its the whole package. That woman said it with such an attitude effortlessly. It's like Nikki Palikat switching from her normal, chest-voice to whistle register! I'm not kidding, it was that beautiful....

I salute that woman! From now on, 11/07 should be named as the new teacher's day!

Oh yeah, if you happened to be an MD-ian, the only clue i can give about this that she is one sexy-mouthed fish! Ekekekeke :D

BTW, I just finished my monthly assesment test for June. So far I have only got my physics paper back. I got an 'A', hahaha :).. Chem and comp went veryyyy well, so hope to get good remarks during the parents-teacher meet later :) .. I wish the maths test this Monday will be easy too.

On the side note, I HATE CHEATERSSS... There are some people (Actually lots and lots of people) in my school that took advantage of the different schedule of the same test. You know, they find out what the questions were from those who had their test earlier and just memorize the answers.. And then PROUDLY tell people their marks.. Duhh... I mean its okay if they just find out some of them to just pass the test. I don't really have a problem with that. Nobody wants a "red mark". But really, when you got like 90+ and shove it in my face, when actually you only deserve like, 10? Hahaaha, stupid cheaters..........

H1N1 IN Brunei

As of today, total reported cases of H1N1 in Brunei is 124 (for more up-to-date figure, simply go to www.moh.gov.bn)

This post is not directly about H1N1 but more towards the events that surrounds it.

I just read Blogger J's blog about Bruneians blaming scholars for contracting H1N1. My initial reaction to it is "Who, in their right state of mind, could even blame anyone for contracting this flu.". but then I gave it more thoughts and realized that I actually have once said a statement that actually kinda hints in blaming someone for this pandemic. The actual situation in which the statement was made was:

Location: Inside my sis's car infront of The Mall complex, Gadong

People involved: My family members

Event: Saw 3 tourist buses parked infront of The Mall, packed with tourists of different colours.

Statement: They must've come to spread the disease. Those pigs finally gets back to them!

Defence: It was a joke that I felt appropriate (and funny) at that moment. Brunei does not usually have that much tourists. Ironically, at this very moment, we seems to experience a sudden large influx of tourist. Now, I just can't help myself from making such (bad) assumption so pardon me for that :) . Btw, i just read somewhere something that I find really funny, its "Swine Flu spreading, Pigs are not co-operating" Hahahahah

Explanation: Obviously they are coming for the scheduled celebration of His Majesty's birthday.

Another side-effects of the pandemic to Bruneians are:

1. People now wash their hands a lot of times throughout the days. I have seen lots of dry hands lately. Congrats MOH, it seems like your ads are working :)
2. Sudden huge demand for colourful face-mask. I heard a pink one sells for $10.. Apparently Bruneians want to prevent H1N1 with style haha.. honestly, I havent jump on all these face-mask bandwagon as its effectiveness has not been proven scientifically and to me, its just not practical enough to be done daily nor is it an effective measure. Do you know that everytime your mask is dampened by your breath, its actually useless? So, if I were to wear the pink one, thats like $300 per month.. Multiply that for the 2 year expected period of this pandemic..
3. Travelers are asked to stay home for one week. Since the infectious period of H1N1 is approx. 1 week after the carriers started showing the symptoms, it seems like a fair tradeoff for me. However, some people (hint:Blogger J) thinks that its unfair for them to be quarantined when they have to be quarantined even after taking drastic measures to prevent them. Well, to such people, all i can is to think positively. Now you can spend quality times with your family (haha, as if :D)
4. A government website actually gets updated DAILY! U get that rite.. Those *.gov.bn* are known for being horrendously slow in terms of updates, but now the MOH websites actually gets updated daily.
5. Sudden increase in awareness of personal hygiene.
6. A temperature check during starting of school day. Students are checked for their body temperature when they arrived at school before starting their classes. Although I know its a good preventive action, I absolutely loath it! I came late to school almost everyday, but now I actually HAVE to come early otherwise I won't be allowed to enter my classes. Oh well... I guess i have to try to be a real student now :)
7. His Majesty's birthday celebrations are delayed for the first time in Brunei's history. Now you know how much he loves you :D
8. Thermal scanning is required before you enter the hospital, although technically you have to actually be inside the hospital to take it. Weird. You have to write your name, IC, contact number and the ward you are visiting. Then queue for the scan and finally get the sticker of approval for visits. Its a good thing, but only when its correctly practiced. Unfortunately, having seen the system in Brunei firsh-hand, I dont think its worth doing. Imagine, there is no rule for staying like 2 meters apart from each other before the scan, so even if someone is suspected a carrier after the scan, he/she might have infected some other healthy dudes when queing and through sharing of pens to write the name (FYI a pen is provided).
9. Visiting hours in hospitals are now actually being re-inforced. There used to be a time when bruneians can just come visit patients in the hospital anytime they want. Now, its no mercy for you haha.. One of my siblings was actually told to wait for visiting hours when she came during non-VH.. Ouch.. I salute you VH officers! :D ehehe
10. School holiday got extended for one week. Yay!

Haha, enough of the changes. Here are some of the things that remained unchanged:

1. The Mall.. Still packed. Cinemas still can be fully booked (case in point = Transformers 2)
2. Basic knowledge of "Virus" remains at all time low. Most seems to think that H1N1 will cause death most of the time.. Fortunately, for the moment at least, that assumption is terribly wrong. But its not entirely impossible either..
3. Muslim and Non-Muslim still lives in harmony, without us blaming them for angering the swinesss.. Kekekeke
4. Entertainment stuff is discussed more than real issues. E.g. MJ's death is more frequently posted in FB than H1N1 by bruneians
5. We are still spoilt brats. In my house, the sink in my kitchen have 4 different handwash with different colours and fragrance. I chose one of them. Way to go, Me! Haha
