What a weekend...such a blast!!

OK whose idea was it to have a picnic at Meragang beach? It was my aunt's..who never even came..right...but it was soooo fun!!!! of the whole family invite only 3 families came, 3rd uncle's, youngest uncle's & ours...and what fun it was!!! BBQ, sandcastles, hmm...football with the kids...either Im old or the kids nowadays are too energetic...hahahaha..we all had a blast, the kids had a blast of a time, and that's the most important thing...family bonding. We should do this more often, that way we keep our familial ties strong, which is an important thing in today's day & age of work-sleep-work mentality..anyways I'll be signing off now cos cuzzie came to split a bottle (again) of white...good dayzzzzzzzzzzz..........

Admission:Addict..

Sigh. It is difficult, for me, to face the cold hard truth. I finally realised that after all the scoffing and "never will be"'s and "..such a waste of time" that I ended up being what I profusely refused to be..an addict. The world is unfair. Why does it tempt me so in such a way? But now I understand everyone else who swear by this addiction. Why? Precisely because it is such a waste of time. However it allows us to, for a moment in time (okok 4 hours) to be transported into another fantasy world, allowing us to escape the reality of life and be in another.

I am talking about the drama; thrilling, yet full of suspense of not knowing what will eventually come next, about all the predictions and "Oh no, it can't be him/her!!!" and the "Oh my God, will you just tell him that you actually do like him and stop acting so idiotic and face-saving."

Yes, I think I am addicted to drama. Not Korean, because funnily enough, I prefer Taiwanese. Dramas I mean. How do I know Im addicted? Try this: stayed up for 2 nights in a row till 1am to start one drama and for the grand finale because the last 4 discs were so exciting that I stayed up till 3.30am!!! Ok so the Alfregato kept me awake which I didnt mean to. So what am I supposed to do? Lie awake tossing and turning in bed trying to sleep? DO something productive and finish it off then! I am addicted. Now I know. Ouch.

Learn from experience..accept the consequences...

...like what happened to me yesterday. Now everyone knows coffee makes you awake, same as everyone knows eating too much meat is asking for a coronary but then again, everyone knows free advice is the worst advice to accept. Like me, coffee actually makes me sleep.scratch that, coffee in moderation makes me sleepy. However, to my agony I found out otherwise..
Like the Ice Blended Latte I had at Caf Au Lait. Not bad, nice destressing drink I suppose. Then friends call; and being lazy to move get them to come over for dinner at the same place. Thats when it all goes downhill..because with a latte in me, I definately should not have ordered the Alfregato (is that how I should spell it, such is the dire in me, in my caffeine induced tiredness) for dessert. Alfregato is EVIL. In Capital letters, at times after 7pm. Why? Because its espresso coffee base, with vanilla ice cream and Oreo + chocolate chip toppings. Why is that evil?

Because...I was wide awake, full of energy, having to watch a drama series, up till 3 30am...just because I had that shot of caffeine in me..from now on, no coffee after 7pm for me. I dont think I can take the awakeness..especially not when I have to work the next day. Ouch. Cue yawning every 10 minutes and drooping eyes..

Chicken bone 1: tooth 0

Ouch. Last night was a night I would prefer to forget. That'll teach me not to chomp down on fried chicken ever again. As in *chomp*, then "Craaaacckkkk" then "Uh oh!". There goes half my tooth. Luckily Dental clinic managed to squeeze me in today for a filling, otherwise I'd look like some half toothed ogre with pronunciation of fish as "fwiisshh"...d classic broken tooth smile which causes everyone to stare at me....for the wrong reasons....anyway its all good nw, Ive got a full head of teeth, pity I cant say the same for brains though...oh well...life's like dat..

Another week has gone...

Funny how some people are..take me for example. I was blogging almost everyday for a while when I just started, then slowly it died off like a train running out of steam climbing to Genting..not that there's any train going up to Genting, but you all intellectual readers know what I mean..

But anyway since its the weekend, I might as well write something. Beats sitting at home and looking at the fishes swim inside a 4 by 6 tank..you know the score..fish goes left, you look left, fish goes right, you look right..riiiggghhhtt...as if I spend my time in front of the aquarium looking at fish...although I believe it can be therapeutic but to me it seems like a waste of time..as you gather from the above, I can be quite impatient.

Like yesterday. Now everyone knows the perils of taking on the Kiulap roundabout at your own risk. It should be called Kill-lap roundabout. Coming out from the Baiduri Bank exit to the roundabout access road, now there's a double line which means "do not cross over into the underpass, use the roundabout." Apparently to some people it means "Stop, and wait for traffic to clear then cross line into roundabout." Never mind that there's a long line of cars behind, or that you're blatantly breaking Road Traffic Rules. After all, you do not overtake when there's a double line which demarcates a blind corner coming up, do you? What makes this situation different? So I sounded the horn. Yes, I 'tooted' him. And you know what? He crossed over anyway, and then slowed down to glare at me from the next lane! Uhh...??? By all means, break the rules but please not at the expense of others. If one of the people reading this is the Honda Civic driver at that time, I welcome you to come over and I'll give you an earful about the Traffic Rules....talk about stoopid drivers...

...like the time when I was on said roundabout in A.M. traffic, and this KSPS driver decides to stop in the 2nd lane, right in front of me, just because he/she didnt know where to go. By all means, drive slowly, crawl even, but please do not stop. You are asking for a rear-end remodelling, which in Brunei means a probable ear and body remodelling, and then wallet reducing experience. Not a nice experience I can tell you. Anyway lets all rejoice in the weekend and enjoy (not!) the new week. Ugh, Monday.

Imperial Jade..

So there I was slumming around at home, trying to figure out where to go for dinner, that's a difficult decision considering I've tried most of the restaurants around town already, when my cousin pipes up with the 2nd Flr restaurant at Riverview Hotel. Now last I remember of this restaurant was about 2 or 3 years ago, dirty carpets and so-so food; actually, scratch that and replace with downright horrible food. Apparently they have renovated, and so when I walked in I have to say I was impressed. Its a nice decor scheme, and to top it off, the food is actually decent now. But the most impressive thing about it was the service. The way they know when to discreetly disappear or appear, or when to replace the cutlery, and the professional way they handled the patrons; I have yet to see such service anywhere else except Seri Kamayan or Deal's@Sheraton. Impressive. Although for out and out food quality I would still endorse Seri Kamayan..there is a reason why most people still elect to hold their weddings there..

Arguments...

Why do people argue? It is pointless? Or is it something else deeper that people use to communicate? Case in point:- (Ref last post) Today I met up with said friend..who comes up to me and states that she did not and was not expecting me to reply her messages..although from past experience I would expect otherwise..but thats a moot point because she says that she gets my point. My whole point now is, why are we even arguing? Is it because you want to communicate with me? The me who doesnt manage to communicate with you because I am too busy with work and whatnot..Is there nothing else or is it precisely because there is something in the background that you choose to argue? Oh hold on, its me who's arguing. Im sorry, but hey c'mon I know that Im straightforward..YOU know that Im straightforward and I think that is what plays a role in how you choose a friend, yet when I am straightforward with you Im now considered hurtful and rude? You confuse me:- Please explain. So I am to be a double-faced person in front of you compared to being around you? Sorry but I dont think I can do that. But anyway, referring to my previous post you state today that you have got the point, but then you still argue and say that you were never expecting my reply? Refer above. Then just prepare to feel the wrath for you are then trying only to justify yourself in the end of the day to get the upper hand. People reading this might think Im being really arrogant and full of myself but then again, making that judgement without knowing the whole story would show up exactly what kind of person you are then. Feel free to think what you will. After all this post is only what I feel and is not representative of the whole wide world's judgement of right and wrong, skewed it may be.
