Happy CNY!

Starting off this post i would say my life lately has been awesome or some would like to call it Awesomely awethoooom. Apart from the neverending splurges of ice blendeds, i haven't been taking good care of my health nor have i been keeping track of my weight, plus chinese new year was last weekend and boy did i eat gallon.

School hasn't been that great lately, thanks to the mounting stress due to the upcoming exams which is getting closer each day but nevertheless i am loving February thanks to the every-week-holiday we've been getting.

So in not so many words, i am loving life right now. Trying to get even with my past, to make amends and also to live life at the same time.

And i intend to make this feeling last.

the letdowns,
the breakdowns,
screw it.

Happy Chinese New year people! xx

wowza zabanga lambanga!

What's up?
Well i just got 9 Os! That's what's up!

lo-lo-lo-loved my results! I'm feeling very homer right now. Guess i'll be using that maroon tie afterall :)

chaw people. See all you year11 going to 12 on Saturday!

p.s follow my twitter at twitter.com/dulobrado

Exam results 2:30PM out!

I'm officially panicking! In less than 24 hours, GCSE results will come out! I'm ready to explode. Seriously panicking.

Pray for me :)

Now i'm off to sembahyang Hajat!

bend to the rhythm.

Notice any difference on the picture?

"Examinations are formidable even to the best prepared, for the greatest fool may ask more than the wisest man can answer." - Charles Caleb Calton.

Having the heebie-jeebies? It's tradition since results are out on the 27th, which according to my calender is in two days. Now we'd know if all that effort, spasmodic and streneous nights, note makings, schedule alterations was worth it.
Looking at the bright side, if the results were not as what we expected negatively or postively; you know you tried your best.
I myself have doubts on my results, i'm practically a ticking bomb setting to explode on the 27th. To all those getting their results on the 27th, don't emotionally breakdown if you don't see the grades you wanted, and i do hope you and i get to see each other in Year 12.

It's nearly morning, i should really get some sleep.

Happy Ramadan People!

P.s A Big Happy Birthday to Fayadh Amir. Have a Blast Bud! A birthday post tomorrow insyallah.

bon voyage

Q: Why did the chicken cross Orchard road?
A: Because of the chicken rice stall on the other side!

Bon Voyage, a french word borrowed into an English meaning; stands for either 'good trip' or 'have a good trip'.

Today should be commemorated, as it marks the end of all Year 11 exams! Three cheers for the year elevens, as not only have you endured the hardest parts of your lives but lived to tell the tale. commendations are required.

Prom; guys now is the right time to anticipate and be excited about prom. Not only has it been 'small-talk' throughout the start of the year, but also the beauty of year 11. Enough talk on exams, that's over! we have Prom to be worried about now :) The white shoes, since i couldn't get it in Brunei, It'll be hand-delivered from UK instead.
Everything's complete and ready for me!, How about you? ;)

Currently i am packing for Singapore tomorrow, 7:45 FLIGHT! early much! Now i realize how big my wardrobes are, and also the fact that i own a gazillion unused or 'one timer' clothes :S! I will be seeing Naqiyyah on the plane!

My mom finished her surgery and is now stable and conscious, alhamdulilah. Thanks to Allah for granting all our prayers, i hope she'll get a full recovery.
p.s i'll try updating in Singapore since Royal Plaza has WiFis everywhere.

watch out for swine flu, 2 confirmed cases already in Brunei

*Terminator accent* I'll be back.......on friday!

goodnight Brunei and readers :)

If those who knows that i had a rough weekend, i applaud you for your silence.
Very recently, my mother has been struck with a stroke and is now in Singapore for treatment.
I will be joining her after my exams on Monday, where i will miss the Sixth Form Orientation but not the prom since I'll be coming back to Brunei on Friday. I'll fly off again hopefully the next day, probably for a month.

Praying will indeed help. So guys i urge you to pray for my mom. She will get well soon, Amin.


I'm praying for you every second, every minute, every hour of my day. Hoping for the disease to recede.

p.s A confirmed case of Swine Flu in Brunei meaning precautions people!

Physics tonight at 8! Doesn't it feel great guys that while you are in the exam room millions of others are doing the exact same thing right at that moment? whether its from India or England every student taking the AQA examinations must start at the same time. It feels great doesn't it?

Lunch today was at Kaizen Sushi where i would always give a 3.5/5 rating whenever go there. Not only do we pay quite a hefty price, the portion can only be so little. The stars are for the hospitality, reliability and cleanliness. and the 0.5 is for their amazing Avocado Milkshake which i recommend greatly for Avocado lovers! Its perfect blend with amazing not-too sweet taste, it's enough to make you order a second round. It's mind changing tummy touching essence will make you crawl back for more. p.s its fattening



Lunch was rather a cognition with my now basic knowledge of "Fake or Original" developing. now i know how to differentiate a fake dior and an original one (the handle!) haha.

As for Rano's 6th aniversarry this friday, i congratulate him many future sucesses and inshallah i will come. Maybe a little late? ill check my schedule.

goodbye geo, hello physics!

Geography paper 2, to sum it in word is just fantastic. It differed completely from anything that i'd expect. when i opened the booklet i was like "wow!" I was completely calm and lazy through the whole hour and 45 mins, that was how refreshing the paper was to me.

Physics is up tomorrow, urgh! the whole of p3 to be studied!

"i have a confession: i've been playing a game, not just a game, it's pokemon. i feel like a geek now."

Pokemon was fun dulu from when Gameboy Colour was still the 'in' thing! now in the modern world we have Nintendo Ds lite with over the top games! i still remember playing harvest moon! hahaha! and also playing Sonic the hedgehock in SEGA! with Tekken from Playstation 1! which i surely do miss the past :(

old school yaw!

on a break

"The Internet is like alcohol in some sense. It accentuates what you would do anyway. If you want to be a loner, you can be more alone. If you want to connect, it makes it easier to connect." - Esther Dyson.

Had a last minute Geography revision session this morning, with an addition of coffee takeaway from coffee bean. School was surprisingly quiet and serene, with the year 10s having their internal and year 11s(us), year 12s and 13s having finished school.
So now i totally rock in Mapwork, and am quite ready to take the plunge for my geo paper at 8 later.
English Non Fiction Paper is next at 4! brr! i need to get my head into facts and opinions and all those notes!

The revision supposedly finished at 11:15 changed to 11:55 just because of my thirst of knowledge and my "uhuh, yeah ok" answers for mapworks. Met up with my mom at Fleur kiulap for a quick lunch with mango cheesecakes to go! mhmm! enak!

So i am currently being a nerd and since my hardcore weekend revision paid off i had free time to blog.

so, yes my blog is in a semi-hiatus condition.

seoul, soul of asia!

"Welcome to the exciting season finale of the Tonight Show. This is the last show after 17 years on the air. You know, when I started the show, my hair was black and the president was white." - Jay Leno

Well the convo lead to me asking azhiim to join me in amazing race. HAHA

aspirations

After checking my planner, i was dumbfounded to see my planner filled out for June which includes exams, two dozen birthdays with nearly half of it labeled as 'priority', weekend dinners and functions and yes the prom.

Apart from being undesirably tired yesterday, my 5am turned 7am jog was very refreshing of course with the help of music.

Lately i have been checking out Universities and Colleges on the net with loads of books on courses. Although my main interest is History i found Economics and Geography quite appealing with maths as a side dish. Well political science are said to be my best option or Law or perhaps Business?
Well aspiring on the future is kind of hard for a 15 year old isn't it?

Along with my great taste i hope i'll pass my gcses with enough results to go abroad :)

i have my eyes on Brisbane.

amin! amin! amin! amin! i get good results!

i feel taken.

Current Song: Control - Metro Station
Current Mood: enervated, overworked.

After a day of revising mathematics, geography, economics and english, i feel exasperated.
Being in my 'nerd' cocoon now, i feel that all this revision should pay off in my exams, 9 days later. Alas everybody having their mid-term break students everywhere should be flocking gadong and kiulap by the look of the clock.

Well i can't wait and yearn for after the exams, who doesn't?

oh yeah my friend's phone got stolen in gadong, so anybody who took it at least give back his number back ;p haha what is this ziim? your 3rd time this year? ok heres a photo of your phone to rekindle old memories and the photos you took! ;)

Hard core!

At last, the 10 days gap between exams are finally here! but starting the 1st a hurricane of exams will sweep me off my feet starting with Maths Paper 2 :( . and a thank you to Mr Jozefek for emailing the paper 2 'definite' guide!
