Hi readers (if any).Just a quick post to announce something. Obviously, as what you can see, I have not been updating this blog anymore. The last post was back in June 2010. Enough said, I don't think that I will be posting any updates anytime soon.But frankly speaking, I am doing this only to see if I even remember how to blog. Haha!So, if you read this, it is proof that I can still blog.. LOL!

Hi readers! It has been a while I didn't update my blog. Thought this post will be worthwhile to update. But this does not mean I'm going to be active again. We'll see. =)Anyways, this post is about a good old friend who finally moved on to the next level today. Haha!

For my future reference, yesterday was the first game for my basketball team, i.e. Bumiputera vs Beaver Engineering.. Too bad we only lost by 10pts.Match timeline:- Bumiputera led the first quarter- Beaver snatched the lead end second quarter- Bumiputera expected super subs was somehow not performing- Beaver player #9 was on fire and simply unstoppable- But the game was still head-to-head game

Since Mom was craving for Lemon Grass after a good experience at the KB branch a few days back, I brought the whole family there again. Except, this time we went for the Kiulap branch (last time was KB branch). But, the experience was not sth that Mom looked forward to have.Simply, we ordered a day earlier so that the cook could prepare our dishes in time for sungkai. Know what happened? The

Tonight was the AODs (ex-MDs) sungkai gathering. Only 4 of us though, i.e. Azam, Sofian, Muliadi, & myself. The rest (Zul AS, Amik, Amit, & Yusra) couldn't make it due to several reasons.In brief, we stayed til late (11pm). What's interesting was the wastage policy. Every 100g of wasted food, the restaurant will charge B$3.00. So, there we were joking that I would have to swallow the chicken

Macam tradisi yang biasa diadakan setiap tahun (since 2003 kah?), the Ex-MD 02/03 male hostellites a.k.a. Hostel Boy Organization (HBO) gathered for this Ramadhan's Tahlil & mass sungkai.. Thanks for all the efforts by Fizree as the yearly organizer.The rendezvous was the Jame' Asr Mosque in Kiarong followed by sungkai at Aneka Rasa Restaurant in Kiulap.

Tonight the BBA Sungkai only managed to bring six of us together, i.e. Asyraf, Boon Hin, Janet, Nee Lin, Umi, and myself. Erny had to cancel due to family functions. Not much to say and show. Simply, we talked about all sorts of things, i.e. from shopping to work stuffs. Now I know where to go in Singapore for shopping. I'm so not up-to-date that I didn't know that Lion City Hotel is considered

Fellow readers, I figured that there were some mistakes in my initial analysis. Below is my second revision on SCP analysis.Talking more on the SCP, it bothers me in various ways. I can understand the fact that it is beneficial for participants in the long run but I can't help myself not thinking too much about it. You will understand when you read the various scenarios I thought of below. Do

I was very interested in the SCP scheme. I spent a few hours reading and analysing the article titled "MoF explains Supplemental Contributory Pension Scheme". For convenience, I have copied the whole article and posted it as one whole post below. But since I find it hard to absorb, I decided to make my own document.

Pensioners will get an extra $150 on top of the $250 old age pension after they reach the mandatory retirement age under the new Supplemental Contributory Pension (SCP).The Ministry of Finance (MoF) yesterday provided explanations and details regarding the Supplemental Contributory Pension (SCP), which is set to take effect on January 1, 2010. The SCP scheme is a pension scheme that is an

Last week on Friday (June 12), I just managed to bid farewell to Kaca & Kaci before they went off for Umrah before I went off for work. Not much to comment here but word says that the temperature they is currently around 47 degrees. Despite the heat, I'm so jealous that I've imagined the many things I can see going there. I don't know that much about Islamic history found there but surely I need

Just a quick post to express my disappointment on what has been going on lately. As we all know, it’s the dry season and we barely have rain. Fortunately, during lunch time today, the rain was pouring but only for a short while (well, at least, I know for a fact it happened in the capital city).I have witnessed myself some forest fire in action in the past few days. It’s really bad that the

Finally!!! I mean, really! Finally I’m back!!! But, fyi, I wont be updating on a regular basis like I used to. Ever since my last post on Apr 12, I had two months full of activities and events, including myself falling sick for two weeks, being busy at work, holiday, etc.Not to ramble further, this post is about my trip climbing Mount Kinabalu last weekend, when everyone were busy with the Brunei

Finally, I got the chance to update my blog. For the past few weeks, it has been quite hectic for me with work and my first cousin's wedding, i.e. Abg Hj Dino & Ka Mariam. Congratz to the both of you. Even now, I am just updating for the sake of numerous requests to put up photos during the 'bersanding' event at the UBD Chancellor Hall last 05 Apr 2009.Apologies to the ones who kept nagging me to

Hmm.. I find that people keep on putting up posts celebrating their month-anniversary or more widely used as monthsary. Honestly, I never thought of keeping count of the months of these years. Nevertheless, this time, it is an exceptional case.So, to the one who stayed with me throughout the good and bad times all these 'months', Zuliha, happy 100th monthsary!!

After a terrific display of unbeaten record for the past five games, DPMM FC collected another three points tonight with just one goal separating the local boys from the visiting team, Sengkang Punggol FC. The club’s top striker, Shahrazen Hj Mohd Said was in the scoresheet again when he volleyed the ball beating the goalie, just 62 minutes into the game, right after the corner kick. It was an

Got nowhere to go? I suggest you get the chance to stop by the Japanese Pop Culture Week which is currently ongoing in UBD. It will be really beneficial for ones who love to learn about different culture. Unfortunately, I cannot confirm when the culture week will come to a close, but I am pretty sure its either tomorrow or Sunday.Additionally, I understand there were also other activities

Finally, I got the chance to bring my big family together. So, these are the faces of them Uncles, Aunties, & cousins of mine from Mom’s side. The occasion was to celebrate Sis Edah’s 25th birthday, and also the fact that I got a new job. Simply, I didn’t have to tell where I was working as everyone went, “Hey Zul, I saw you on tv!!”. So, it saved me the time to explain to each and everyone of

Yesterday, Zuliha & I decided to go to Serusop for lunch. I normally don't go for restaurants that I never tried before but today I tried to be different. So, Pondok Sari Wangi was our choice. While I ordered 'Nasi Kelasan' or better known as 'Nasi Ayam Penyet', Zuliha decided to go for the Nasi Goreng Kampung. I can tell you the food tastes pretty good. My watermelon juice was also as perfect as

Tonight we celebrated the Feb babies at Zuliha’s. We had a simple BBQ and cakes for all four, namely Aman, Kaci, Nasrul, & Danial. Little Danial & family, however, couldn't make it due to some transport problem. Highlight was that we used party sprays to make ‘birthday hairs’. I believe you can imagine how things were.

So, there I was at the Anugerah RTB 2008 event. Surprisingly enough, I presented one of the awards too.

This afternoon I managed to visit the ongoing Anugerah RTB 2008 Carnival at the ICC with Zuliha. There were a lot of activities organised in this packed venue. We certainly had fun with the games. The public outcome was also amazing. So, don't miss out. If you did not get the chance to visit the carnival today, tomorrow will be the last day. It will be from 9am to 10pm. As usual, I share several

In conjunction to the Royal Brunei Police Force's 88th year anniversary this year, an open day was organized at the open area at the middle of the Yayasan building in the capital city.

Just a quick post full of photos of Zuliha's ex-classmates gathering. About a dozen of us gathered at Pizza Hut in Gadong from 2pm to about 4.30pm today. Unfortunately, while the group were heading to the arcade, Zuliha & I had to call it a day (Zuliha needs time to do her revision for three tests for next week). The names of the ones present are listed as below:The guys: Ammar, Nabil, Eddie,

Just as Brunei's silver jubilee National Day is just around the corner, I have managed to discover some of “Brunei’s green jewel”. To go straight to the point, I am referring to the Brunei River & the Ulu Temburong National Park.I have always heard that Ulu Temburong National Park or sometimes referred to as Bukit Belalong is now a common spot for tourists’ destination in Brunei.

With the rain falling heavily and non-stop for the past week, causing flood to occur everywhere followed by landslides and eventually power supply cut. In addition, this also caused businesses to be forced to temporarily close and suffering damages to their assets and stock items. Looking back all that, I believe we all agree that this is the worst ever situation that Brunei had experienced. It

Joined Ezuana’s birthday party tonight. Came in around 7pm and met the rest of Zuliha’s friend’s. The event started around 8.30pm, singing the birthday song, cutting the cake, and the best part, eating time. Haha. I had two rounds of spaghetti. It’s been a while I did not have that kind of appetite. Ever since I moved into the working world, I rarely have time to play basketball, and thus lead to

After quite sometime I had not went for shopping, except to buy fuel for my car (i.e. if you count that as one). Last night, our group of five decided to go out for dinner. As we always opt for, we went to The Mall in Gadong. The crowd was still as usual, a sea of people flooding the shopping complexes. While parents are busy trying to decide what else can they buy with their bonuses, children go

I guess I can rank this hotel the best spot for my family gatherings. Yesterday, Uncle Azry & family booked a room at Holiday Lodge, again. One thing for sure, it had definitely got nothing to do with electrical problems or anything like that. It’s just my family kind of thing to simply check into a hotel just to relax and bring the kids to the swimming pool. Nonetheless, I see it as a positive

To celebrate Dad’s birthday this year, we decided to go bring him to a hotel and relax. On my side, I supplied the junk foods and snacks for everyone to munch on. There were only six of us plus three, i.e. the boyfriends and girlfriend to celebrate this time. We decided to keep it simple. Of course, it will never be complete if we don’t invite our extended family members and all the kids (the

As today is the final and full-dress rehearsal, I thought we weren't allowed to bring any gadgets with us. However

Due to popular demands, I decided to simply mass upload pics to the above event. It makes my life easier since I don't have much time to blog nowadays. So, I also want to take this opportunity to say sorry to my friends who had to keep asking for me to pass on their pics. I hope this will help.But before that, to the ones who have no idea of what I am talking about, let me just explain in brief

Zuliha just had her test in uni and planned to go for Raya with some friends of hers straight after that. Our theme color for the day, pink. *Although I protested at times on the color selection. Hehe.*Just as she reached my place after class, we hopped into my car off to Rai's in Mentiri. We arrived and met Eddie, Anis, and Salwa in the living room. Not long after that, we had our late 'lunch'.

Unlike the past few days, today I only had my evening to go visit my relatives and friends. Tonight, my siblings and I planned to go raya together.Just as I arrived from home, I rested for a while, then a few groups of Dad's colleagues from his office came sometime after Maghrib prayer. I helped to take a few group shots. It was a bit awkward if I were to leave the guests with just my parents,

We also served some light meals but we didn't actually tell everyone about it. So, its what we call 'langkah kanan la' to all the ones who came today.Here's a list of people who came today (in

Raya visits just got started. It was a full day for me today. Just as the title suggest, I had three transitions in just one day. Nonetheless, the best part is that Zuliha get to stay with me whole day. In the past years, we use to have open houses clashes that we had to split up.First, I was with my Mom's family. We went to kubur arwah Nene Laki, Nene Bini and several more of Mom's late siblings

And so we did, in Foodzone, Gadong Properties. Mom, Dad, and Sis Edah reached the venue around 5pm. Surprisingly, there were only three tables filled.

Serusop. Our restaurant choice was Nyonya Restaurant. It happened ti be my first to dine there. For another alien restaurant, I was again amazed by the service provided. Simply, a group of family was celebrating a birthday after finishing their sungkai meal, and the restaurant waiters were approaching the group bringing along with them a guitar. And so they sang several birthday songs. Thing is,

Jerudong. Just about a few minutes walk from the Masjid Al-Hajah Mariam (is it?), you will be able to find a place called KTM Thai Seafood Restaurant. This was DK's choice to bring some of the BBA's for a sungkai treat. Despite the fact that the term "Thai" in the restaurant's name wasn't portrayed through the buffet servings, it indeed offered delicious food. My personal favourite for the night

Jerudong. Today, Zuliha went out with her friends for Sungkai. Their chosen spot was the Holiday Lodge Hotel in Jerudong. Btw the reason I'm putting up this post is because I was there for a while and they used my camera to take some shots before going for sungkai. I was just staying at the hotel lobby to do some of our BBA Graduation Book work while waiting for sungkai time with some BBAs in a

It was a simple family gathering, just the family members of my my parents' siblings.All except Amit Suaidi and family and Bungsu Jimmy were present. Below are selected photos.

Lambak Kanan. We celebrated my little sis birthday a day later, i.e. today. It was a simple celebration with some doa selamat recited by Dad. Present were just my six member family plus Aunt Ugi plus three of our other halves. So, there were ten of us altogether, i.e. Dad, Mom, Sis Edah & Jack, Zuliha& I, Sis Khairul & Hafiz, Bro Fadhli and Aunt Ugi. Despite it was just a simple meal, I believe

Brunei Darussalam. Early this week, the relevant authorities had just introduced the new registration plates number. It will start off from "BAA xxxx". So, I thought of sharing this crazy thought of mine with my fellow readers, which is related to this matter.Firstly, if you want to buy your mom or aunt a car, you can always go for the number 'BAA 800' equivalent to 'Baaboo' or 'babu', which

Jerudong. Tonight is the main reason why I suddenly vanished out of the blogging world. I barely check my own blog and emails. Why? Because I was busy preparing for my final night with my graduating FBEPS colleagues. It was a good thing seven of us stood up to organize this event. It was surely a night to remember. We called it FBEPS Class of 2004-2008 Farewell Dinner. Let me try to share a bit

You know what, I used to think you were in other course like PPA or ECO. Mainly, it was because I never recall you in most of my classes, that's why.

It is time to greet another ex-BBA friend birthday. Her name is Fatimah. Personally, I would describe this friend of mine as quiet. Or maybe its because I never really got to know her that well. Basically, I believe its because I did not spent much time with BBAs back in 2004 & 2005. By the time BBA bond got stronger in 2006 onwards, half of us went for twinning programme. So, today's birthday

It is already 13 Aug 2008 when I typed this quick post to say happy belated birthday to my ex-BBA colleague, Wang Ee.. Hopefully you enjoyed your day, my friend. I'm trying to think what makes her different from my other friends. I know! The first thing I have in mind is her in the Pixxies team, i.e. a ladies futsal team. So, yea, she's one of the lady friends I have who does what other ladies

Lambak Kanan. It was pay day a few days back and commercial areas everywhere are packed. Searching for a parking spot alone can be frustrating at times. Tonight Zuliha accompanied me to go for a quick shopping. Then we had dinner in Ayamku, Lambak. This used to be our regular stop for lunch. Now, it has been like a few months since we didn't go there. So, it kind of brought back some of those

Just as the title suggest, I went to the movies with Zuliha today. Note that it was literally movies. Firstly, we went to Cineplex in The Mall, Gadong to see the "Journey to the center of the Earth". Personally, it was a good movie but it was not enough action to keep my adrenaline running most of the time. Haha. So, despite I rate it 6.5 of 10, its still a good movie. It just didn't live up to

In brief, I took off from home just after Maghrib prayer around 7pm and reached BSB around 7.45pm.

So, everyone who seek to watch amazing lighting displays on moving vehicles, tonight is the night to go to the capital city. Preferrably, you should get there sometime around 7pm so that you can get a proper parking spot. Just bear in mind that major roads

I witnessed people already busy setting up their stalls as early as 5.30pm.

Since early this morning, thousands people gathered at the Taman SOAS either to watch or be involved in the march pass and flight pass to mark the start of monarch's birthday celebration.More specifically,

It was really last minute that I was only informed 15 minutes before they planned to have that surprise. So, I had to rush back home (as I went to the movies with my parents) and drove to their place ASAP. Just before I went

Beside, I didn't feel like going coz I felt like I need the rest tonight. Finally, we arranged our family movie outing this afternoon, right after having lunch.The movie didn't start until 12.40pm.

It was just a simple family dinner after Abg Ramlee and family got back from holiday in Bangkok, Thailand. I must say that it was a timely one too. Thing is, I caught a cold from Zuliha and Bro Fadhli and my body temperature went up since this morning. So,

Participants to the celebration on 15 July 2008 are getting themselves ready for the big day. Not much for me to comment anyways. I share with you the pictures taken sometime around 8.30am to 9am below.Above: Just near to Jalan Sultan, we can see the decorations that filled the area.

A guy was attempting a simple challenge. He just needs to bounce a soccer ball using just his head 20 times. When the guy failed with just 3 bounces, DJ Dafi called out for another challenger.

Well, that was the name given to the group before I joined these Menglait-ian friends. Not sure if the guys still prefer the name. Regardless, we gathered because Sofian just got back from Ozie and met at the Coffee Bean. After having our short chat, we decided to go for the

Then again, being good in search of parking spots, I managed to get one in just under five minutes. :) I was looking for some useful gadgets in the Mall, Gadong when I met an old friend back in sixth form. His name is Wong. Apparently, this giant and back then a

Bandar Seri Begawan. It was almost eight in the morning, I was walking along a pathway in the capital city of Brunei Darussalam. As usual, I was on my way to the office.

Lambak, Berakas.Just a few minutes ago, after 'two freaking weeks' *inside joke*, I finally get the chance to go out and have dinner with non-other than.... my Zuuuuuliha!!! Hehe. Thanks for asking in the first place, dear. It was more like a spontaneous dine out thing. Apparently, Zuliha and Nani *believe it or not, she's my gal's twin* was planning for a quick tudong shopping. So, right after

The clock strike 6.30pm. Suddenly, the HDTV screen blinked and the notable change was "BI 636: Landed". Not long after that, after waiting two long weeks, I Zuliha walking pass the security area heading for the luggage section. *Oh ya! Just in case you guys don't really get the title, 'somenewholovesyou' is actually the name for her blog.* Finally being able to see her tonight made it the best

Belapan & Padang, Berakas. Tonight, I attended the rugby finals for the Pesta Sukan Kebangsaan (PSK) 2008. The Temburong team (again, just like the basketball team champion, whom mostly are not from Temburong) emerged as champions as they denied the Police squad in tonight's finals. It was a good start for the Temburong team having to lead 5-0 early in the first quarter. The Police team managed

Batu Bersurat, Berakas. In the mens category, it was a relief as the referee blew the final whistle marking the end of the 8th Pesta Sukan Kebangsaan basketball tournament. It was a game full of excitement with the crowd being thrilled by the performance of both teams from start until the end of the match. Temburong had two of their key players fouled out late in the game, having to bring out
