I am currently hooked up on Jennifer Hudson. Her songs are the shiznit!
Oh yes, i won't be updating my blog starting Thursday; since I'll be flying off on Wednesday evening and hopefully be back in time for my birthday! Singapore and Indonesia here i comeeee! But be sure to follow me on twitter since i'll be updating my Twitter daily (i'm a Tweetaholic now!)

Oh and i asked my doctor of a cousin about the probabilty of me getting infected by Swine flu; well say hello to Mr Immune! haha. I have now immunity since i got it already making me one lucky son of a gun. It's like another 'I-am-legend' fiasco!

Congrats to ManUtd for beating Malaysia 2-0! Asia tour! wish i was in KL though! I'm stuck with the reds in SG. Hope that my summer in Singapore won't be boring, and those 'friends' that supposedly are going to Singapore actually come so they could go shopping with me :)

night night people!

74th

"All things are difficult before they are easy." - Frank Fuller.

In life we are forced to deal with hysteric stupefaction news, it's bound to happen whether past present or future, it's just the way of life.

On Thursday 2nt of July i found out mine; i was diagnosed with the virus H1N1 or commonly known as Swine Flu. My latest trip to Singapore was designated as the sole cause of the virus.

Indication of the virus showed on Monday where i was suddenly struck by a high fever with the addition of a runny nose, i payed no heed to it at first but it got worse on Wednesday where i brought it to the Hospital fearing that i may be infected by the virus. Scanned and burrowed into, results were given the next day where i tested positive for the H1N1 virus.

Scared? sure as hell i was.

Initially i had a choice to be home or hospital treated, but fearing i might infect fellow family members i decided that being hospitalized was a better choice.
In life you need to sacrifice for the sake of others, i hope my past immature decisions are clouded by this mature one. To brag about me maturing over these 4 days will not be a lie, after knowing of my disease something in me opened up; and from that point on i promised myself to live each day as if it was my last to live a healthy life and try redeeming my past mistakes. I have learned about patience and virtue where time is off the essence, wasting time used to be my calling with my cocky arrogant attitude that needed to be dealt at times. I'm not saying I'm all down to earth humble and happy go lucky but i want a change, a permanent one that is.

I give thanks to the Doctors and staff involved from RIPAS Hospital and also PMMPMHB Hospital in Tutong.

yours Truly,
Abdul Osman
the 74th case.

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!

swine flu still a threat?

Today at the Friday prayer's, the usual doa before sujud on the second raka'at was not recited. I know for a fact that the doa was a prayer for protection against swine flu. But why did it stop? Do they think Swine Flu isn't a threat anymore?

Swine flu is now dubbed as 'unstoppable' and "at its highest" stated by the World Health Organization (WHO). To date it has affected almost 30,000 people worldwide from over 74 countries! Cnn has the update.

It is now declared a global flu pandemic. Neighboring countries like Malaysia, Thailand and Singapore has already been affected. Brunei is obviously ready, i knowing for a fact that we have all the right necessities and vaccines if the pandemic spreads here. But calling off the doa, will make people at ease and unaware of the dire situation that has come upon this world.

So please people, be very wary of your surroundings and be hygenic at all times.
We just need to pray it does not affect us.

should we be afraid?

Latest update on H1N1; swine flu hits 10,000 people worldwide, stated the World Health Organization (WHO). The virus known to have caused 80 deaths worldwide is fast affecting the globe. Half of those affected is from USA alone, with others spreading and reaching Asian countries too! This may not be the actual figures, as it takes time to confirm the cases but lets just hope it starts to slow down soon.

Acting as a common flu (influenza) it can be successfully treated but can be deadly among the old, very young and those with health problems.

It's good to see the Bruneian government taking action as soon as the outbreak occurred. i commend them for their efforts!

swine flu! not shanti virus?

and i thought shanti virus from heroes was deadly!

The H1N1 virus a.k.a Swine/Hog/Pig Flu, is a pestilence of a new string of influenza viruses. Discovered and identified in April 2009, it has affected approximately 8855 people worldwide!

Started in Mexico in april and now affected Asian countries too, such as Thailand, S Korea, Malaysia, India and China. The northern hemisphere too is badly affected!

This feels like a scene from The happening/Heroes(shanti virus) hahaha. without people killing themselves. haha

Try to not underestimate the virus, although they aren't many pigs in brunei we should not think that we are immune. The diseases can now spread through humans, so watch out!
