Piak's off to the office. He's leaving soon. Leaving Brunei, I mean. Tomorrow, to be exact. He's off to London to visit the queen. Hahahah.. It's for his simulator sessions for 5 weeks. Not to worry. I'll be joining him in about a month from now, for 2 weeks. Yay! I bought my ticket to London via Singapore. I'm using Emirates this time. Last year I used Singapore airlines. Now, I have a change of heart. Hahah.. More like, wanting to try different airlines.
Anyway, I bought my ticket yesterday. It cost me $800! Woooow.....But it goes straight to London Gatwick. That's where Piak's having his course. At least I don't have to get the train from London Heathrow.
Anyway, I have to survive just about 3 weeks without him. I think I'll be okay. Will be working and my sister will be here to keep me company.
I'll be visiting my bestest friend in Kent, UK soon. Yay!!!heheh...I'll see how her place is. That would be superb. I didn't get to see the last time she came back for her break. That was a year ago. wow...
And! I'm going to go back to Cranfield to have the best Kebab in the whole wide world! Hahaha...
I think I'll survive staying with Piak for two weeks in Gatwick. All I need is him, anyway. Heheheh..

My day started great today. We woke up at a decent time, went to bandar to get some stuff and we went to Tungku beach to fish! we were there from 10 to 5 pm. It was great. I bought a spool and a rod for myself. It's sooooo cool. Should have taken a picture of it and posted it to show it off. Haha.
There were quite a number of us there and we were all hungry as the person who was supposed to bring the food came really late. But it turned out fine.
Long story short, we didn't catch anything and my 3 days off is coming to an end.
Piak is away, playing badminton without me, again! The last time I worked out was like 6 days ago and it's realllllllyyyyyyy stressing me out. WE were supposed to play badminton yesterday, just after picking my sister from the airport. I was super excited! But somehow, the plan changed! How happy was I? Zero! We just had dinner around Jerudong with my family. Only god knows how much I want to sweat of have my heart pumping. Piak did "invite" me to play badminton. But I'm not that good and I don't like playing with this group of people he's playing with. And the other thing stopping me is how Piak invited me. It's not his fault. He said, you could sit there and see if there's people who's our level who;s willing to play with us. That just shows how much I'm not exactly invited. Urgh! I'm all angry and all that negative mood. I hate this.
I'm supposed to go get the groceries while he plays. Somehow just before we left, I realized what a stupid idea that was. He enjoys himself while I get the HEAVY carton of water, cat food and all that stuff that can wait until tomorrow when he's there to carry it instead of me. Oh well. Here I am, all alone in my room. Pathetic! If only my best friend was here. Or my sister. So we can go out and watch a movie.
Well, that was my plan. To invite Piak and watch a movie. I can't remember the last time we watched a movie together. But he said he wanted to play badminton just before I invited him. So, I kept it to myself. Stupid, aren't I? Of course I am.
I wanna play softball! Badminton! go to the gym and cycle! Swim!
It's just one of those times during a month when I get all moody and stressed out and not happy. I pity Piak for having to go through all of it every month. Sigh.
Now, my body is heating up and I think I'm falling sick! Not a good thing to happen. I have to work early tomorrow.
And my arms are killing me! I just want to cut it off. Maybe I will! And I'm hungry!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
DAMN IT!

I'm never this glad to be home. I was away for two nights in Singapore and it felt like forever! I was counting EVERY second of the day. But somehow, the event in Singapore was not as stressful as it usually is. oh well.. I'm free for another 4 to 6 month. Yaaay... Time to celebrate. But I'm broke already. HAhahah..
We're going out to get some fishing gears tomorrow and going out fishing the next day. Not sure where exactly. But planning on having it in Serasa. Anyone is welcome to join us. You don't have to be an expert. We're still learning too.
Aaaah... The pleasure of THREE days off. Nothing to bother me. Nothing to worry about. No work to be done. And I can go wherever I want and do whatever I want!
I want to sleep. OR swim. OR play badminton! or softball? or just sleep.
Watching a movie would be nice too..
Well, for now, I'm hungry. Off to lunch I go!

So, it's been long. I've not updated because, i've nothing much to say. All I did is work. And we all just received emails telling us not to tell the public on facebook or what, about our flights. So, nothing about flying, nothing in specific. But I can say things like, "i had a good flight". How boring is that. That's not worth telling anyone. We like the hot stories and juices of our jobs. The gossips, the affairs, the good and bad news. But, not anymore will anyone outside or RBA know. Not from me, that is.
Anyway, what have I done outside of work? I went fishing twice with the guys. It's more like picnic/fishing trip. It was fun. I liked it. Suntanning. I love the sun. I love my dark skin.
If you're wondering, no, we didn't catch anything. NADA!
OUr first trip was around UBD/Tungku area.
The second one was at Danau. It was fun. I loved it. Next is Pelumpong(i don't know if i spelled it right).
hehehe...
Yesterday, I joined a group of softball players during their training. I missed paying it. But I'm not sure how much I can keep up. I'm always tired after work. And my job don't exactly have the best timings. I don't usually get 5pm onwards free. I hope they understand that I'm just there as a hobby to fill in my free time.
So, I'm taking Piak with me this afternoon. He can join if he wants to. Or he can just sit around and watch. But I've made up my mind to play softball. Hmmm..
But I like playing Badminton just as much. Where am I going to get that kinda time?
Softball? Badminton?hmmmm...I don't know. I'll just smartly divide my time. We'll see how it goes.
As for now, I should be concentrating on studying for my exam on the 27th. Wish me luck.

I'm sooo into the song Angels Cry by Mariah Carey and Neyo. It's a very beautiful song. You should listen to it. Anyway, I did a double Singapore flight yesterday. It means, at 12 in the afternoon, I went to work and went to Singapore and back, and went back to Singapore and back, again. and we can only go home at 12 midnight! That's the ultimate flight. I think I'd rather do direct London. Hahah. Or maybe not.
After able to be on the bed by 12.30am, I have to get back to work in about 18hours. Pretty much on the same day. Hahaha. But tonight, I'm just going on a fun ride. I'm there as a spare part. Hahah. Just hope I'm not needed that much.
We'll be playing badminton again today. Well, probably. I'm not so sure yet. I have not inform the gang yet.
Oh, by the way, I'm watching American Idol! It's funny. really.
Anyway, it's just a few days till Valentines' Day. I know the news paper said, "muslims cannot celebrate Valentines day". I think I'll just celebrate it as a day to appreciate the ones you love, either next to you, or a little further out (ayu). I know we're to appreciate them everyday, but, we can't really celebrate it everyday, can we? That's no fun. :)

Aaaahhh...An off day today.. What pleasure. Well, what is up u ask? Piak is working to Bangkok today and he said he'll get me donuts. He said the donuts there is soft and not so sweet. He tried it once. he bought a whole box but gave the rest to the cabin crews. Oh well. Whatever. I give my box of chocolates to the cabin crew too. That's life. Life as a Pilot. Another reason why I don't want to settle down and get married yet. 10 years people. Then, maybe, I'm ready.
Anyway, I just came back from a trip to Singapore with my family. On the first day, we went to Ikea. It was fun, just walking around the building. But it's sad how I can't really get anything. For one, it's expensive and another, how the hell am I going to bring it back to Brunei? Not yet, I tell myself.
We had Chilli Crab for dinner. Aslo Black Pepper crab. It was YUMMY!! And expensive. I don't think I can afford it anymore. Hahah. We'll wait for my bonus, which is, I must add, never.
The next day, we went to Orchard road. I was tired. But it was fun. I bought a whole set of cutlery from WMF. HAH! Finally. It costs alot. But I think it's worth it. Few hundreds on a set of 12 people. :)
Then we went to the airport and had dinner and bought burgers from burger king. YUUUUUMMMM!!
So, right after my trip to Singapore, I went back to work. It was fine. I did a rejected TakeOff. It was fun. Tho we were delayed for two hours. Considering we actually left the stand about 15 minutes early initially. Haha.
Anyway, been keeping myself busy with the house. They say I can only start moving in just before Raya. How bad is that? Been waiting for soo long and I have to wait some more. I'm gonna keep telling myself, if I'm to get a house, get the ones that's already ready to be moved in. Hahahah.. I hate this waiting I'm wasting too much money. That's why.

27th January 2010
I have not been updating my blog. My year is so far, complicated. I'm not that busy working, but my days have been passing by like the wind. It started off well, but gradually, went downslope. I just hope it'll pick itself up soon.
Very recently, my grandfather passed away. And it's hard to think about it. I still imagine him being in Kuching with my grandma and that i'll see him again when I go there. Then, reality struck.
And also, very recently, Zul's aunty passed away. She had water in her brain.
And two days ago, One of the captain's son passed away. He had cancer since he was one. He passed away at the age of 7.
And just yesterday, kak Siti passed away. She had sickle-celled anaemia. This was a shock to me. She was only 35years of age.
So, it's only the first month of the year. And so far, not a cheerful start.
But I must say, I'm trying to bring the graph up. I'm bringing my family to Singapore for a night. I hope that will go well.
Today, I sent Piak to work and I went to survey a few stuff for the house in Kiulap. I checked the ones in Miri already so, I just wanted to compare the price. I found the stove I wanted. It's made in Italy lerrrr... And a lot cheaper than the ones in Miri and they are exactly the same.
I also found a fridge that I like. LG.
And also washing machine. But I still have to survey more on these stuff.
I have to look for air conditioning system and the grill on my house.
I don't know how other people do it. I would say I earn loads each month and yet, I don't think I have enough for the house. I kept telling myself, I don't have to get everything at one time. I can always do it slowly.............
I bought the sofas. And the dining set. Those I bought in Miri. I also have to get the lighting for the house. Urgh.... I have so much on my mind now.
And to add to my misery, they wanted to paint the inside of the house YELLOW! NO WAY!! I know it's light in colour. But, No way!!! They promised me white! And white its what I will get! Let's not start talking about tiles. I just hate them. But I kept on telling myself I'll take whatever. But with my family and all to rub it in my face and laugh, really doesn't help me at all.
I have quite a lot on my mind and I'm not about to bother with them.
Alright. I think I'll stop there. Too much anger.
And oh, Ayu, we'll only start moving in after you come back kali...around april or may.....

It's a new day in the new year. Happy New Year to all! On my last post, I mentioned that I won't be spending the change of the new year celebrating. Well, I must say, I was wrong. A few of us guys checked in at Empire and watched the fireworks on the strike of midnight. Piak and I checked in early and got the room prepared. Like, setting up the PS3 and all that, and around 5, Apis came and joined us. He joined us for dinner at LiGong. And it was really unpleasant. I don't think I want to go there again.
Here's what happened. First of all, the dinner cost $95 EACH!! and the room includes a COMPLIMENTARY dinner and breakfast. Prior to checking in, which I did, and Piak waited in the car, I asked a bunch of questions to the receptionist about our stay, like, what time does the gates close to public? what time does it open? what if my family wants to come in? and join me for dinner when the gates are closed? where's the fireworks? the best place to watch it? this, and that, and this! I wanted a perfect stay! So, after all those questions, he gave me my keys and just said, "have a pleasant stay!" and nothing more.
So, we called LiGong, to make sure of our booking, and we called AGAIN, to confirm it and add another person to it. Apis. In the meantime, we stayed in the room and chitchat and played video games!
So, at 7.30, with short pants(the boys) and just t-shirt(me), we headed to LiGong to have our dinner.
We stood outside to give way of the other customers to go out. I think it's just our habits of giving way to passengers in the plane. With a smile and all the patience in the world. So, once it was all clear, we went in and the Black-Suited(BS) people, who was suppose to welcome us NICELY, said "can I have your vouchers? and where is your wristband?" I stood upfront and said, "what voucher? and what wristband?"
And I would never have expected BS's reply! "I'm sorry, but you can't come in"
Shocked and trying to suppress my anger, I said, "No, we weren't given ANY vouchers or any wristbands! But we DO stay here."
BS's reply was "We don't care of you stay here. The receptionist should have given you the voucher or the wristband, and only then can you proof you are allowed to eat here"
By then, there were about 3 of the BS people, trying to get us out of their way and out of the restaurant. Is it REALLY our fault that we weren't given the stupid vouchers? or the stupid wristband?? I gave them Piak's full name and our room number, showed the card and yet, they tried to get us out of there.
By then, I nearly lost my cool and blew off! And can you believe they tried to blame the receptionist? They said they should have given me the stuff and I'm to go back there and ask for it. He said, "the main building might give you a hard time if you don't have the wristband." I thought quietly, "i handled you, so I think, I can handle anyone who asks me questions!"
Finally, they gave in, checked the list of names that she was holding THE WHOLE TIME, and found our name. HOw easy was that??? BANCI KU EHHH!!! MENTALLL!!!
Anyway, the food wasn't that good. AND on top of the $95 buffet, we have to PAY for the drinks! what kind of buffet that cost THAT much made us pay for just WATER! plain ice water?????We'll be happy if we get tap water, even! sigh. No way I'm going there again! never!
After dinner, we went back to the room to rest. We played games and the rest of the night went well. The guys started to come over one by one and we went to watch the fireworks.
I was still trying to forget dinner.
After the fireworks, we went back to the room and some of the guys went out to get Nasi Katok and Piak went to sleep as he had to work at 6 am in the morning.
Some of the guys went home and in the morning, I sent Piak to work, came back and went back to sleep and woke up, in time for breakfast. I called Rachel, an old friend of mine to join me. After breakfast, I sent her back and packed all the stuff to check out and straight to the airport to pick up my sayang.
Before going back to my room, we went to Tanjung Nangka to visit our house. The roof is done, so is the plastering, and I think next will be the tiles! Can't wait to move in our new house!! Maybe in a few months time, we will! Yaaay! Our very own house! Then, we went back to the room and I went straight to bed! Piak was still awake, cooking lunch. Hahah!
All in all, I hated my stay at empire. Don't think I want to do it again. But enjoyed my time with my sayang and my friends.

The year is coming to an end. And I think, I'm not going to do much on new year's eve. For one, Piak will be working. Two, I don't exactly have good friends here. I know. It's sad. Hahah. I'm officially friendless in Brunei. I does gets me sometimes. But it's alright. I keep myself busy with work anyway. That's one reason why I like being busy working. The food an drinks are all prepared and I know what I'm doing and what to expect. Well, more or less.
Speaking of work, I went to KL last night and we were about 20 minutes late and for that, I think Piak is mad at me. I have no idea why, but he's not talking to me, at all. I tried making conversation but, I think I prefer talking to the wall. I was excited of going home and tell him all the exciting details of my work. But, I think you'll know it before him.
Anyway, I was the one who brought the flight to KL. I did the takeoff, the Passenger announcement, and the landing. If you're a pilot, you would know how it is to get to KL. The radio controller makes it very difficult. First, he made us fly realllllyyyyy slow and then he changed his mind. Then he made us fly slow again and I was pretty high on my flight path(which we call profile). Thankfully, I managed to control all that. Oh, did I mention, it was a captain's training flight? And there was an instructor sitting behind us both, looking at all the things we did? Well, yes, it was.
So, on the final stage of the flight, we were trying to keep our distance from the aircraft in front of us. Somehow, we got closer and closer. I swear, it seems like the aircraft in front of us just stopped midair and we suddenly got too close. He was to land first. And when he landed, we were about 300' above the ground. That does not give enough space for us. So, I heard the words I don't often hear from ATC(air traffic controller) "aircraft still occupying the runway, Brunei 875, go around." Things went so fast. One second we were going down to land, the next, it felt like we were in a space shuttle, on our back, going around. This isn't my first time. It's my third, to be exact. So, I had it under control.
On the second attempt to land, we managed to do it. My landing wasn't the best one. It WAS raining! Hahah. Anyway, we got on the ground safely and the captain I flew with admitted that it was his very first Go-Around, ever, as a commercial pilot. Hahaha! OMG!
Anyway, since we had to do a go-around, we were about 15 minutes late. Everything was in a rush. But I still texted Piak to tell him I'm going to be late. At least I told him. His last few flights, he was late and I never had a single clue that he was.So, I came to pick him up, either slightly early or on time, only to find out, his flight was delayed. But it's alright. I excuse him. But why does it feel like he's angry at me for being late. And he doesn't even know the reason for me being late! Oh well. It's his loss. My life still goes on.I still have to work again tonight.
This time, to Singapore.
Speaking of work, I went to KL last night and we were about 20 minutes late and for that, I think Piak is mad at me. I have no idea why, but he's not talking to me, at all. I tried making conversation but, I think I prefer talking to the wall. I was excited of going home and tell him all the exciting details of my work. But, I think you'll know it before him.

I had a hell of a past few days. hahah. First thing's first. We had Xmas dinner at a really nice restaurant we wanted to try. Mangrove Paradise Resort in Kota batu. It's pretty good. Most of the cabin crew recommended it but it never crosses our mind to got there. So, on Xmas night, he asked me where I want to eat. While driving around bandar, I suggested Mangrove. I didn't get any pictures tho. I'm sorry. Maybe next time.
After that, we just went home as Piak had to work early the next day. Well, sort of.
The nest day, I sent Piak to work, and came back to get more shut eye but was cut short as I had to send my family to the river banks for them to have a trip to Temburong, just to have breakfast. I think they were back by 11.45am. And I sent them off at about 8.30. Hahah. What a short trip.
As for the rest of the day, we spent it in my small room, playing games and chit chatting. Piak was to arrive at 5 and while my parents went to The Mall, my brother and I went to pick up my love.
Then, we went straight to the Mall to join my parents to have dinner and watch a movie. Sherlock Holmes. It's really nice. My kinda movie.
The next day, I cooked chicken wings in my room and put it in a nice tupperware. And we bought Nasi Katok and went to the beach to breakfast. It was calming. Right after, we went to the hospital to visit Piak's grandmama. She had a case of gall stones. But in the journey of recovering at this very moment.
After lunch, we had a couple of games of badminton. I was suppose to work that midnight. But, instead of resting, after badminton, we had dinner and chilled out with the other boys until 12 am. And I'm suppose to start working at 12.40. Oh well. It's jsut a trip to perth. Hahahaha..
I must say, I did struggle to stay awake. But then, we were to jon the flight back to brunei, so I could sleep then. While waiting for the other sets of crew to bring us back, which is about 3 hours, we went to the duty free and had tea coffee.
I slept most of the time back to Brunei. Had a nice lunch and sleep more. And after Piak picked me up, we went to the club to play badminton with the other guys again. This time, we lost ALL the games. I was knackered. I bet you would be too if you were in my position.
After badminton, Paik brought me out for dinner. Tourean was the name of the restaurant, I think. I can't remember. Then we had a stroll at yayasan. This whole time, I tried my best to stay awake. Hahha..
When we got home, I slipped into my pj and went straight to sleep.
As for this morning, I sent Piak to work early morning and around 7am, I slept even more. I just woke up at 11am to have bath and get ready for lunch with my love one!
Cioz!

It's Xmas and as usual, when I'm not working and Piak's working, I'm in the room. I need to get new girlfriends to bring out. But, it's not that easy. Haha.
Okay, since my last post, I went to work and had the bbq at a friend's house. It was such fun. Food, drinks, games and all the laughter. It's just like when we were in UK but at the end of the night, it all ended and we all went home.
Piak worked yesterday and I stayed home, cleaning the room and watching dvds. In the evening, after picking up my love, my parents came by. We had dinner at Singapore Table and it was Piak's treat. He had his big pay yesterday. And I had my little one. Hahahah.. My time will come.
After dinner, we had icecream at Kuilap. It was yummy! Hahah. Then we went back to my room for some hot drinks.
As for today, my day started of slow. We cleaned the aircond before sending Piak to work, again. Urgh! i feel like he works all the time. And when I think that, I think about him asking for more even flights. Which pisses me off a little bit more. I need a buddy to keep busy. A girlfriend. A sister? Hahahahahahhahaahhaahh! Nda mau Ayu eh.. :P kidding...
After sending Mr. Yusof to work, I went to Manggis mall for breakfast, ALONE. Takoyaki and waffle were the specials. Hahah. And after breakfast, I met Siang and the girlfriend just getting breakfast.
I went up to get earrings!!! Loads of them! more than $50 worth.. =D
Then I had a stroll at the supermarket getting water for the room and some other useless stuff. And I bought 5 pearl milk tea for me and Piak. He asked for 3 and so, the other two is mine! All mine! Hahaha.
So in the room, I hurt myself. How?
Here's how it happened.
I was getting the tub ready to give the cats a bath. In the middle of it, we ran out of hot water. It happens. I don't know how, but it does. Since I knew that was going to happen, and I don't like the idea of giving the cats a bath with cold water, I boiled some water. After giving one cat a bath, I was about to mix the hot water into the tub. But, instead of just pouring into the tub, I poured in into a "gayong" (can't think of the english word..Ayu, help!), which I held and somehow, the hot water that I poured was more than I can handle and I spilled a whole lot of HOT BOILING water on my hands. I screamed! Ran my hands under the cold water and continued giving the cats a bath, in pain!
Anyway, still in pain and I'm trying to make plans for Xmas dinner. Seasons would be nice, no? Hahaha..
So, people, hope you enjoy you Xmas.
Have a good day. And Merry Xmas and a Happy New Year!!!

22.12.2009
So, yesterday was my birthday. A lot happened this past few days and I'm happy about all of it.
One, the day before my birthday, we went out to have dinner with Piak's family at the Mall foodcourt. We initially planned to have dinner at SML for satay but somehow, they were not opened that night. So, we changed our plan. Mall it was. And after dinner, we enjoyed ourselves at the arcade.
After that bit of fun, we headed off to Mamih in Beribi to join the gang to celebrate Shuk's birthday!! There were tons of people. And we only stayed there for a drink. Probably until 10.30 or 11pm as I had to work the next day. A hong kong flight on my birthday. But it's okay. It'll give Piak time to get all the stuff he had to.
Oh, did I mention, the 21st Dec is also the date of our anniversary. So, yesterday was the 3rd. Hahah!
To Piak, Happy Anniversary! May we have a greater year ahead of us! But a year as great as the previos ones are as good. Every second I spent with you are a lot more special than my birthdays. Haha.
Anyway, after work, we went back to my room and I got ready as quickly as I could. Just to let you know, I arrived around 6.15 and only got to the car at 6.30 and the booking was for 7.30. Hahah. But I let my parents sit there and wait for me.
Anyway, we got to the restaurant, Secret Recipe, at about 7.45. And ordered. I ordered spaghetti meatballs, Piak ordered TomYum noodles, Aauddi ordered lasagne, and we all shared the irish lamb stew! They were the best. The food were really nice but I must say, the service was crappy! The drinks were late, Aauddi's didn't even came. A glass of ice water took nearly 30 minutes and a ready made pie dad ordered came cold after about 45 minutes ordering it and after hundreds of time prompting them about it. Piak wanted to surprise me with a cake but the supervisor said no outside food. The supervisor was nowhere to be seen when we wanted to complain. Then he suddenly appeared SERVING whom I think were his FRIENDS! And as I was observing them, they sure had a better service compared to ours.
Anyway, enough of that. Piak bought me The Beatles Rockband for my birthday and after dinner, he insist on strolling around the mall. Being too observant, i knew something was up. So, it turned out, he bought another pressie and sent it to a shop to be wrapped. But, when we got there, they were closed. Hahaha! I told him not to get me anything. But he didn't listen to me.
Today came and we headed to the Mall in the morning around 10 and he brought me straight to the shop. I was pretty upset him already expecting me to react shocked and surprise and "oh-my-god-i-cant-believe-it". But I'm me. I do do that. But only when I know what's in it. Then we got to the shop and he said, "go n pick whatever". What kind of suggestion is that? He bought something, and he said THAT in a shop??? How was I supposed to know how it looked like? what if it was someone else's? Malu jua ku..what it someone else's was bigger and I chose that when the one he bought was a small one??? I jsut looked at him in disbelief! Finally, I told him to get it for me. And he pointed to a big wrapped package. I was shocked on how big it was! And I couldn't carry it. I told him, I'm not walking around the mall with it. He carried it. I could tell he was upset. He finally said, "your reaction was neither happy nor sad". And I said, "I told you not to get me anything." The game was already good for me. I was sooo happy about it. And I don't know what's wrapped! For all I know, they're rocks! I'm the type of person who only has a reaction when I know stuff clearly.
So, we got home with 3 kilos of chicken wings for me to marinate for tomorrow's bbq, and I was more engrossed with the chicken and left the pressie on the bed, untouched. I felt like torturing him. In the room, I felt like running to the pressie and tear the wrapper. But I waited. I was upset. I know I'm wrong. But do you know how bad I feel, knowing he got me too much when I only bought him 2 sets of shirts for his last birthday and I didn't get him anything for the anniversary??? I felt horrible. I felt like crying and telling him to get a refund even before opening the present. But I sucked it up and hugged him and said I'm sorry, with a few tears, and opened it up. It was the last thing on earth I expected. It was Zeppelin. The super Hot speaker only for ipods. And I don't have an iPod! I cried even more!
Hahaha.
Then we got ready for a lunch grouping at excapade in gadong to celebrate my birthday with my friends. It was my treat. The initially plan was for us to have lunch at 1230 and meet up again for badminton about 2pm before their football match. Piak couldn't play. He's working.
So, I'm heading for the airport in about 30 minutes to pick up my love.
Plans for tomorrow, I'll be working and we have bbq plans at a friend's house. I think he said after 8. Heheh! Yay!
Oh, I forgot to mention, after sending Piak to work, I went to the mall and bought him a present. I know it's a day late. But, I've been busy working. I'm really sorry, my love. Hope he loves the present.
You want to know what it is????
ipod touch! 64G!!!

"That's a funny place for his antenna.." AHAHAHA! I laughed my head off! I'm watching Planet 51. I bet anyone would laugh if they watch it..hahah..
Anyway, Piak is off to Perth. And will be back nearly midnight and I will be off to Kinabalu when he comes back. But I'll see him tomorrow when I come back.
Anyhoo, had breakfast with my love one at Singapore Table again. And we stopped by chongHock to get a couple of Dvds for me to watch.
My flight last night was not so bad. The worse part is trying to stay awake. It was horrible. I can't wait to go home.
I'm planning on getting a washing machine for my house. The one with a dryer so I will save space. Hehe. Or, I could just use the extra washing machine mom has at home and air dry the clothes on the hanger. Yeah. Maybe that's what I'll do. Take the free one. And get a nice new one when I can afford it.
I wish I can sleep as much as the cats. Yikes! They were sleeping since about 6 hours ago. Maybe waking up to eat or pee.
I really want to go out. Wish Farah or Ayu were here. Haha. Piak would be better. But he works when I don't and he would still ask for flights. That is another thing that has been bothering me. I would understand him asking for extra flights when he wanted to unfreeze his flying license but now? His license has melted! Why does he need extra flights? Whatever!
Hmm..Come to think of it, I don't think he knows I'm still writing in my blog. Doesn't matter.
I had breakfast with Piak this morning. And now, I'm already hungry. It's alright. I'll just have breakfast tomorrow at the hotel in Kinabalu. I finished watching Planet51 and now I'm watching BandSlam. It's nice so far.
This picture has a lot of really nice memories.

I'm watching Julie & Julia. It's a pretty good movie. Funny and charming.
Anyway, had lunch at Singapore Table. All alone, if I may add. Went there right after sending Piak off to the airport for his Bangkok flight. He's flying with a captain in training and a training captain watching them both. So, no pressure, my love.
And as for me, I'm going to Kinabalu and Manila tonight. And I was hoping I could have a little nap before my flight but by the looks of things, I don't think I can. Last night we had a late night. We were watching a movie and playing the PS3 at a friend's house with a couple of friends. And in the afternoon, we played badminton and had drinks at a cafe.
Oh, latest news, I just updated my logbook and I have about 1170 flying hours. HAHAH! 300 plus hour more to go and I can unfreeze my license and i will be paid more and I can pay my debt to the bank for the house and the things in the house.
I just gave Chupap a bath and it's lovely how he loves to have baths. And blow dried. Hahaha.
I feel like having a pizza margarita.
Darn it! Time flies too fast. I have to get ready now. Work, work, work! It's alright, think of the 330 hours I have to get before my next simulator check. I wonder if it's even possible. I don't think so. Oh well.

We were watching a movie and playing the PS3 at a friend's house with a couple of friends. And in the afternoon, we played badminton and had drinks at a cafe.
Oh, latest news, I just updated my logbook and I have about 1170 flying hours. HAHAH! 300 plus hour more to go and I can unfreeze my license and i will be paid more and I can pay my debt to the bank for the house and the things in the house.
I just gave Chupap a bath and it's lovely how he loves to have baths. And blow dried. Hahaha.
I feel like having a pizza margarita.
Darn it! Time flies too fast. I have to get ready now. Work, work, work! It's alright, think of the 330 hours I have to get before my next simulator check. I wonder if it's even possible. I don't think so. Oh well.

11th? Feels like there's some thing to the date.
Anyway, I got called up from my standby, again! Did a KK flight and continued with a Jakarta flight. Was it tiring, you asked? Hell yeah! I had a massive headache. But I survived. Not to worry. My rest ends tonight, where I'll be doing another flight. A Surabaya. And I'll only be back tomorrow morning.
Sent Piak to the airport this afternoon after having brunch at Jollibee!
Be surprised, if you may, but I don't seem to be looking forward to my so-called special day. I don't know. I think it's the fact that there are things I can't know. For one, while I was in KB, making a birthday cake for a friend of mine, Piak's phone beeped, and a message came through. And as reflex, I went to check it for him. But, he cuts me short. Told me not to read anything. Might be something I shouldn't know about yet. Something about surprise for my birthday. Then he went out to make a call. And he said, " don't follow me!". Like I ever did! But the funny part was, when I said things like, "don't get me anything for my birthday." He said he haven't. And he actually swore to it. He told me he will book dinner but that stuff, I know about. Well, to think about it, there are loads I don't know about.
Anyway, enough about him.
I just think to myself, work, work, work. the more I work, the more money I get. And when I don't work, I have to rest. And think about more work. Hahah.
Oh, while I'm at it, this is the cake me and Piak made for Gzul's mom's birthday. :P Nothing much though.

I woke up at 11 am today. But I only slept at 1 am. So, it's all good. Hahah. I feel sooo tired and sick. I did a Singapore and Kuching flight on Saturday and I was supposed to be on standby yesterday. And have a flight this morning.
But, since I'm such a lucky person, I got called up to do a double Singapore flight yesterday! They really should be paying me extra for that! Working for about 12 hours straight is no fun. Thankfully, the captain I was with was a cool captain. A captain I don't mind flying with a lot. Tho I don't think the feeling goes both ways. Hahah.
Anyway, on our first trip to Singapore, the flight was delayed and it was a full flight that we had passengers in the cockpit with us. Good thing was the passenger was a pilot himself and was a nice company to have.
After hundreds of yawns, we finally arrived in Singapore and being ALREADY late for about 11 minutes, the captain managed to make me go to the terminal and get some stuff for him and some other people. I don't really mind. I only kept glancing at the time for about 50 times. Haha.
On my "stroll" around the terminal, a passenger came up to me asking for directions to a gate.
Sigh. For one, I don't exactly work at the terminal and Singapore has about 3 different terminals! So, that wasn't much help. But, I managed to point her into the directions of the information centre. Haha! And knowing that she does not know english, there's no point saying anything in english so I said, "tanya mereka." and somehow she replied, "terima kasih"! I had a laugh! I thought to myslef, I'm malay, does she not see that? she can speak malay to me and I can help her in no time. Then again, I might not look malay to her.
Then half way to my destination (a duty free shop), a group of middle aged ladies came swarming towards me shouting things in other language. I think it was dutch? or some sort. Hahaha. They all talked at the same time, very loudly asking things I have no idea about. I felt like shouting back, "ENGLISH pls! ENGLISH!!!" but I'm in my uniform, so, I have to behave and just smile and shake my head. Finally, one of them said, "bags?bags?" So, naturally, I presumed, they just arrived and wondered where to go! for god's sake, it was SINGAPORE terminal! there were signs everywhere!!! And the signs have pictures with it. But, with a smile, I pointed out where they should go.
Finally, I got the stuff on the list and headed back to my plane. thankfully, we left on time.
On our second trip, we ended up having a gate where it's the furthest from the terminal. Mind you, it takes about 7-10 minutes worth of quick walking just to get to the very first shop. Thankfully, we were about 5 minutes early and once again, the captain managed to persuade me to go to the terminal and get ourself some chocolates. Hahah. I'd do anything for chocolate!
It's a good thing the terminal is very cold or else, I'd be drench with sweat after the walk! I got to the fist chocolate shop and the workers there were at awe having me there and they actually asked to take photos with me. I'm touched. Hahahah. And they gave me free chocolate. Yummy!
On the way back to the plane, which literally felt longer than going out, I was hoping I wont delay the flight. Thankfully enough, we actually left about 5 minutes earlier. Hahah! And we got home about 20 minutes early. Yaay!
So, a couple of hours later, here I am, all unwell and dealing with a bad headache hoping they won't call me to do another flight today since I'm on standby from 1300-1900. Alright, Aspirin time. Hahahah!

Here I am, watching more DVDs in my room, all alone. I had a busy day today. It could have been a normal four sector flight but, it didn't start out well in the morning.
Piak, me and Gzul met up yesterday. Gzul wanted us to make a birthday cake for his mom. And I came up with this.
That's just a sketch I came up with. The bottom part will be fruit cake and the top will be chocolate! Heheh. He wanted a heart cake on top of a circle cake. The cake will mostly be PINK. He wants the cake on the 9th. And we'll only start on the 7th. My guess is, we'll end up with only a simple cake.
I just don't have the confidence in my cakes. I don't think any of it are good enough. I wanted better ones. But, I think that's as far as I can go. That's why I would feel guilty charging ANYONE ANYTHING for the cake.
Anyway, as for today, it's been a pretty angry day. I had to wake up too early. :P
And worst of all, I woke up feeling like I've not slept at all. Anyway, I did Singapore and Kuching flight today. We were delayed by about 20 minutes the whole time and we were not able to get back the lost time. It was impossible. From where we see it, we were delayed by one person. V2 is what I blame on. Haha. You might not understand. Sorry. Will explain next time.
Anyway, We got to Kuching finally and on the way, I had a funny feeling.
One, Piak made me choose to do the flight from Kuching to Brunei.
Two, Mom texted me and said my grandparents in Kuching will be having lunch at the airport just to "feel" me closer.
Three, She canceled our plan to watch a movie together.
Four, my brother is in Kuching.
So, when we said the passengers can board the plane in Kuching, I kept a lookout, and I saw that the very first passenger walking towards the plane was my brother! Sigh.
Mom didn't tell me when he was coming back, so I didn't know! They have been keeping quite a lot of things from me. And Piak knows all about it. Whatever, I would say to myself.
And oh, we did have KFC for dinner. And I was starving!
Another thing, Piak told me the kittens downstairs, the grey ones, have gone missing! Miiiissssiiinggg!! URGH! Another "whatever!"

30.11.2009 - 01.12.2009
I've just realized, my own special day is just around the corner. I'm not exactly looking forward to it. I'm at the point where those days meant you're a year older. Though I don't FEEL any older. *denial*
I went to have dinner with my family. As usual, we couldn't make up our minds on where to eat! and this always lead to bad attitudes and arguments.
Initially, we wanted to have barbecued chicken in Milennium. But, sadly, they ran out of effing chicken! So, we just did some shopping at SupaSave instead.
Then, mom said she feels like eating arabic food. So, Sugar and Spice was the answer. Sadly again, they were closed.
And that was where all the negativity started. Mom can't decide. Dad relied too much on mom. As for me, I decided to ignore them and sit quietly and start building an imaginary brick wall to block them out.
Cut story short, we ended up with Soto.
*the end*
Hahaha..anyway, I'm just waiting to pick my love up from the airport. I was trying to sleep but somehow, I couldn't so, I decided to write.
And the time is up.
Piak, here I come!

Piak is away on another Singapore flight. The TV is showing the angels and demons movie. My cat is rubbing his head against my leg asking for attention. My dad is trying not to fall asleep watching the movie. And finally, my mum is reading the papers with whatever light is left of the day(the lights are off to let my dad sleep).
Well, those are things in the present.
What happened in the past? I picked up Piak from his afternoon Singapore flight and we went straight to the saloon. Shahdon's Icon. Piak's all time favorite saloon. I would usually tag along. But that night, I had a n overdue hair cut. So, I asked for a quick wash and an equally quick haircut. And this is what I ended up with. Which, I kinda like. I think the last time I had this kind of haircut was when I was 10.
My dad calls me "barbie doll" and mum, "china doll" and others, "a 5 year old."
Anyway, after the haircut, we went to join Piak's family having "L" at aminah Arif. So I think the name was. Hahaha. I'm really bad with names anyway. And then, we went to the Masjid Omar Ali Saifuddien.
As for today, we had brunch at the Emperor's court. DimSum, Baby!
And that's where the highlight of my day happened. I slipped and fell on my left knee. And worse of all, all the stuff in my bag went flying out and landed over the floor. I was walking slightly fast to catch up with Piak who's late for work. I don't blame him. I was the one who stepped on the SMALL puddle of water. Or so I thought there were. It might actually be an imaginary puddle of water. Hahah. My left knee hurt so badly and I nearly cried. But I kept my composure and got up and walk like nothing happened. I know for a fact, people saw me. Not just one, maybe 5 or 6. But thank god, that was it.
After dropping Piak of to work, my parents and I went to Empire cineplex to watch Christmas Carol. It was a really nice movie. I really liked the graphics! It was awesome! Right after that, we went to The Mall and had ICECREAM at swensens. There goes my diet! Well, I should rightfully say, there goes trying to START a diet! hahah! I really couldn't be bothered. I feel alright. I could last (and WIN) 5 badminton games and I think that kind of stamina is good enough for me. Haha.
We then went to ChongHock to get some movies but I failed to find any nice ones. Mom bought a few. So did dad. He bought animes!
On the way back, we went to Pasar Gadong and got ourselves banana fritters and ABC! for snack!
So, I thought to myself, "I'll start my diet tomorrow." or the day after!
So, here I am. In the room, writing to you! We'll be going out for dinner soon. Hahah. I'll try not to order anything too heavy. Hahah! So I'd say now.
Well, I better go!

I went to Miri yesterday. Piak brought me along. We went just to pick his aunts at the airport from KL. And straight home we went.
The night before, I've decided to have a really close look at the moon. My dad has this telescope where you can see all the grooves on the moon. Like pimples! Hahah. It took me a while to get use to it, the telescope, i mean. But in the end, I did it. It was awesome.
So, anyway, after the Miri trip, I had my Singapore flight. And I was lacking sleep. I can hardly open my eyes even in the afternoon, what more a flight till midnight! But I survived. Barely. I really wanted to have a walk around the terminal but, I was too tired and I don't fancy a run. I know I didn't have the time.
As for today, I don't have anything planned. Piak is away on a flight to Singapore too. He'll be back in the evening and I'll go and have a haircut with him after that. He was supposed to do Bangkok but he swapped it with another person just to do a flight with his friends on it. " Whatever tickles him" I'd say. He have his plans, and I'll make mine.
You know, after I sent Piak to the airport, a car was following me closely from behind. A little too close. And I noticed there were children in the back seat jumping around. I admit, I'm a very dangerous driver. I think that's what keeps me sane. I let go of it all when I drive. I'm in my own world. But I drive alone. No danger to anyone on board. And I signal generously. Never been in an accident. So, the guy following me a little too closely was driving dangerously. I was upset about it. But I got over it quickly.
I'm thinking about going to the gym. Should I or should I not. I am really tired but I don't think I can just sit down and do nothing. I just want to go out of this room. I might just go to ChongHock and get DVDs to watch. Whatever.
Cioz for now!
