A Gist of My Day Today ;)

PS: Details in the next entry, soon!! ;)

Dinner Date With Chaperons at Cheezebox :)

We finally met at Cheezebox last night. Saiful, Harisman and Fairul couldn't make it but it didn't stop us from having fun! My sayang came too but he was a bit tired after a long day at work so he didn't really talk much.

What I'd remember about the dine out? Meal 307 and Escargot! :P

I will upload pictures soon after I found my camera cable. More pixies at Fred's page though ;)

Nurul's Lightning ;)

Well, NOT literally. She's got the call from MinDef, as I said in my previous post so this time, I wanna share how her interview went on as she told us over lunch today :)

Sure, she did her research before the interview. Following her instinct, she gathered all the info on worldwide issue: the food crisis. The Gaza Dispute never occurred to her and of course, Defense and War do come together so she was asked about it but she was good enough to lead the interview topic to the Food Crisis instead. I'm proud when she could answer the attacking questions thrown on her. Her Geography basic background really helped after all :)

So her arguments went on .. saying how the global now faces the problem with food productions everywhere. When asked why this is happening, she argued saying it's due to climate change. Little did she know that it's also actually because of the rise of oil price worldwide, as argued by the interviewers.

Good point for me personally but to say it's simply due to the price of oil per se, is it the main reason to why sometimes our moms find it hard to find onions in good condition? Or even have to pay more just to get a kilo of it? What does oil have to do with onions?? Of course this happens because of flooding that's a very major problem in India, the main producer of onions for us here. And bad weather contributes to this, doesn't it? Weather changes of course due to the change in climate ..

The rice production here in Brunei is limited. That, of course we know the reason cause not all Bruneians are interested in farming. Why? It's a hard job, especially for the young ones (for me too! I did some planting with my campers last month as one of the activity challenges, which was hard though fun..) but mind you, IF the main producer of rice to our country has internal problems .. say .. civil wars, or drought, what will happen to us? Do you think oil can solve this? And make us plant our own rice in the end?

Maybe yes, maybe no. Just a thought. These are the similar arguments Nurul had with the interviewers somehow .. though she had to give in saying it's the high cost of oil that causes the food crisis in the world. It's an interview after all. Not a court where lawyers fight their views ;)

She's bright, isn't she :) I'm proud of her. I'm so proud of my baby sis :)

I bought a 'congratulatory cake' for her. Will upload tonight's pictures soon for all to view :)

Congrats to My Baby Sis!! :D

Congrats to Nurul. She's just got the call from Ministry of Defense a moment ago that she's got the job! She applied for a Research Officer post. Alhamdulillah she got it!! :D The next minute, I lent her my Prima so she could give our mum a call (and to stop her from jumping up and down from all the excitement hehe). She'll go get the letter of appointment at MinDef later at 2.30pm :)

Alhamdulillah for Your blessing ya Allah. Alhamdulillah :')

Nope! She won't have to cut her long hair short ;) She applied as a civilian ..

Ok peeps! Am off to buy a cake for her! Will upload the picture here later ;)

First Attempt to Editing ;-)

Hey peeps! I finally tried on editing snaps that I took using Microsoft Office Picture Manager with the help of this entry :) Thanks to Ziggy for the tips ;) She shared on how to change a coloured picture to black and white. While trying out, I tried editing the pictures' colours and brightness and contrasts. The results? See below ;-)

~~ Thanks for viewing :-) ~~

Sudden Agony

I woke up this morning feeling sad. There were things I did in the past that I regret today. Even make me wish to turn back time so I wouldn't do them back then. I cried in bed praying God would sprinkle a bit of His mercy to me for the sins and mistakes I did, to me, others and family.

Please God, forgive this servant of Yours. I know time is running out for me so as others around me. Give us strength to go through the life ahead of us. Give us faith stronger to You so we will always remember You in our hearts, say Your name and forever praise You among other things.

Aaminn ... Aaminnn ... Aaminnnn Ya Rabbal Alaminnn ....

Ideal + Crazy Shop @ Veena's

Zainul really had a good time in the weekend at home. We all went out for a late lunch at Ideal, his treat (thanks NyoOot!!) then off to Nazmi. The actual plan was to check out for cloths for us on Boy's wedding day but Puchen broke away from the group and went to Veena's. The next minute, all of us were there, learning that it was giving a one-day Crazy Sale there! The next 3 hours, we spent $500 for all items only to pay at the counter for $250!! :D Worth buying!!

Great family out and great bargain indeed ;) Enjoy the pixies!! :D

Late lunch at Ideal: 3 whole chix, 8 garlic rice, 1 macaroni cheese, 1 pasta & 8 ice-lemon tea :)
