Give A Little Respect......

A great news just turned my darken day bright. Although it's not certain yet but it comes as an unexpected silver lining to my recent dark clouds. When I thought that goodness has turned its back on me, blessing came through and swept me off my feet. Not that this news affects me directly but given what I've been through these past weeks, I'm overwhelmed with heartfelt joy. If there's hope and happiness for others then there must be one for me too.

If people say that God wouldn't let one to be truly happy without taking something away. Then, God also wouldn't cast us in the shadow completely. There are always good things to come. Always believe. It's good to have a little faith in oneself even if others haven't.

Not turning the corner yet......

Welcome To The Dark Side.....

I went out with couple of friends today, good old friends, for lunch. We ended up reminiscing about our younger days back in Manchester. How people grow, and how they change. We talked about the people we came across in life, the people who ended up as friends, some as the 'have been' and some who still play a significant part in our life.

Anyhow, the most interesting part of the afternoon conversation was when a friend blurted out that I 'drove people to their dark side' and was agreed by the other. Now! Please don't jump to any conclusion just yet. Although, I'm not dismissing the claim, I'm not evil either. My only arguement is that, I didn't force them or lure them to the 'dark side', I only woken up the sleeping demons inside of them. Besides, I didn't trap them into doing things they shouldn't do, sometimes even the things I never do myself. I didn't do it intentionally, seriously. Some of the things are bad, some are just wild and insanely fantastic. I'm not a very adventurous person myself and I can't explain how I just managed to do that.. So with the facts that has been discussed, yeah, I do drive people to their dark side. Oppsss! *_*

Starting enough trouble.......

Farewell Dibs

Orang frust meninggalkan Brunei...whehehehe!!

Along This Road....

I'm yet to read Jemima J. Maybe after The Kite Runner which I'm going to start on tonight. The one I've just finished is An Accident Waiting To Happen by Adrian White. The story took place in Manchester and the places were very familiar. In fact, I'm seriously UK@Manchester sick at the moment. I miss that place! SiGh!

I bumped into an old friend at the gym today. It was very exciting to see her. Her husband died a year ago in an accident. The death was unexpected and shocking. He was a very nice man. And to see my friend, it breaks my heart. Because I know she's still grieving. Although see looks alright, but you can sense that she's still broken and lost. She's still trying to move on in which I think she's progressing well. Slowly but well. I'm happy that she's moving on. I hope for her to find another decent man as she deserves to be happy. Al-Fatihah to Allahyarham Md Zulkarnain.

The only face you see........

Cut, Fun, Extreme, Sunburn

The great start to my 27th year continues. Went to Pantai Seri Kenangan yesterday with the Lionesses and the hockey guys. Within 5 minutes I arrived there, I was already riding a motorbike. That's right. I rode one yesterday, not the big road type, just a medium size one. And it was fucking AWESOME!! There was definitely a need for speed. It was euphoric! Kick-ass to the max.

I also rode an atv with Pye since she was there as well with her family. There's so much happening at the beach. The fun and laughter was non stop. I also walked along the mile stretch of the beach looking for seashells and basically indulging myself in the beauty of my surroundings. It felt real good and peaceful. And we didn't return empty handed though it wasn't my catch. Huhu!

In the afternoon, armed with thick sunblock which made us looked like second hand chinese opera, we braved the sun and played beach soccer. My team won and I must say that the girls did display an impressive game.

I injured my shoulder again. It came off a bit, not as bad as the previous two. But it was as painful. All in a day, I guess one can't take all in without giving something out. It's all good!

By the way, yes Nur! I was told we can eat those Belangkas. I quote 'it's a crab crayfish!' haha the shell of that monster is so thick and hard. One can make an armour hat. Huhu we didn't eat it though, we gave it to the Pinoys/Thais next to us.

Last night, the family had a BBQ/Doa Selamat/ Tahlil at my uncle's. Cousin Wana is back in Brunei for 2 weeks. The little cousins had a costume slumber party as well last night. It was such a brilliant day yesterday.

There are always good things..........

Truly Blessed: A Heartfelt Tribute

Sometimes my blog seems to be a channel for me to release all my anger and frustration as well as other bitter dark issues. What the readers might failed to notice (and I wasn't doing a very good job at that probably) is that I am blessed with loving family and friends.

There is a truth, when one do good deeds, good things will come their way. I know sometimes I let out my frustration of being unappreciated, unnoticed or something along that way, but the past couple of weeks has been a real eye opener. I get rewarded in a way that I never thought can happen.

As obvious as it was, I had one great birthday this year. It was as if I am somebody to everyone. Maybe I am, maybe not. But it was a nice gesture. A very heartfelt and beautiful gesture.

First, there was the first advanced celebration on 14th december. Minx baked a cheesecake, which was a very thoughtful of her. It was not a grand celebration but it didn't matter really, did it?

Then, on the 21st itself, again I was surprised with a birthday cake by the Kiranas during futsal. Again, it's not the degree of the celebration that matters but the thoughts behind it.

Later, that evening, I celebrated my birthday with the family, the whole clans from my mother's side. Had three cakes and I was showered with lots of hugs and kisses from my little cousins. Never have I felt so loved that day.

And then, come last night, 24th Dec. I thought I was just having a normal sisha-ing session with Tee and Nora when Minx and the rest of the girls and boy stood behind me for a good 10 seconds before I turned around. My final birthday surprise, as the closing ceremony. It was really really unexpected and I was very very stunned. It showed on my face, as I was told. Made me wear a lei around my neck, and a Santa hat as well. The great party was held in the private lounge and by the end of it, I couldn't believe it still. Takes time to sink in I guess. Unbelivable really to go through such trouble just for me. But as I said, it come unexpected at the least time expected. That was the most beautiful about it I must say.

I thank all my family and friends for kicking start my 27th year of life with love and more love. Special love and appreciation to my family especially my mother for always making us the centre of her universe. I also owe it to Minx for the thoughtfulness and efforts she put into the three separate occasions. Thanks for making it a blast. Thanks also to Tee, Nora, Hana, Erda, GRudy, Pye, Antz, Didi, Sufar and the Kiranas. I'll always remember this for the rest of my life.

Everybody is a somebody to someone.......
