Back in UK!

hey guys, its been a while since i last blogged. Yet again, blame it on my laziness n the happening london im in! :D i suffered at least a good week without internet, feeling so detached to my brunei life n lively stories. call me an internet addict for all i care! haha. a few pictures to reflect on. not gna upload the whole lot as it will take me ages!

uk people leaving on the same flight!

Landed in uk at around 6ish am before taking the cab to my new place. Unloaded the luggages from the storage room (this is one good weightlifting session) and brought it over to the new place with the help of nigel n shee before heading to manchester by virgin train to help shee settle in.

my term has started on wednesday but my mood is not there yet. i have to get it back! ahh.. my dmt group got allocated to designing n building the car suspension for one of the racing cars for imperial racing. i still have no idea what subjects i m picking this year as i get optional courses now. CHOICES CHOICES CHOICES! Life is full of them. i have to make up my decision soon.

if only i know...

bored~

hey guys, im still alive n kicking here in brunei eventhough my blog has seemed to gone into slumber mode. my flight back to uk has been confirmed on the 20th, which is another 12 days! i dont want to go back so early! Brunei, the land of unexpected treasures, might be boring at times but this is where it all happens. the morning brunch, the hanging-outs, the late-nights n the "ONE TIME IT".
hence, i m still waiting fr my flight to be rescheduled to the 28th if possible. is there anyone out there who can help find me a spot on the flight from brunei to uk on the 28th? =D


anyways, tripped upon this horoscope thingy which seems to be reflect my day.. (well sort-of..)

"You might not want to get involved in a friend's emotional drama today, but you could be pulled in anyhow. Fortunately, you are able to be a good listener while maintaining your cool objectivity. Your thoughtful and practical approach may be exactly what is needed to smooth down someone else's ruffled feathers."

if only i knew the answers to everything~

Back in Brunei..

hey guys.. its been quite long time since i blogged. i have been back in brunei for about 2 weeks now. it has been pretty eventful with a newly wed cousin of mine (congrats man), the many football evening matches we have, all the lim-teh sessions, lunch, dinner, swimming, movies, a car of my own, watching dpmm fc pawn geyland united. nothing beats brunei when it comes to a laid-back, relaxing life. no worries, no commitments, happy-go-lucky. hmmm.. its only been 2 weeks though n this list seems like its going to repeat itself.. luckily im going to a hong kong trip in a week followed by a kl n bangkok trip a day after the HK trip ends. =)

anyways, going out now.. will update if i have the time n m not too tired...

PS. just curious who is actually reading my blog. leave a msg on the tagboard. =D

Italy Trip~ Day 3

awaken from the cold waiting room, we rushed into McD's as soon as it opened to get warmth n to use the toilet.

sat on a train from La Spezia towards cinque terra. it was KO time for me, as i slept for the whole journey. bought the tickets to go to enter and explor the national park which cinque terra is reknown for.

postcard photo of the landscape and cliffs

starting the hike with a slight drizzle.

early morning

along the lover's path.. however, sadly we are a group of 6 guys =/

camwhoring.

reached our water stop. FRESH mountain water! KL filling his bottle.

-

up those stairs.

climbing with bags..

caleb going topless. tiring hike! time for some rest...

breakfast in a hotel.. chocolate, sugar croissants, biscuits with jam

cappuccino..

vineyards.. there are just acres n acres of them...

taking a leak in the bush.. there is no toilet anywhere to be found.

walking along the cliff edge.

flower boy..

this looks like brunei's tasek.

the red n white lines were our only guide towards our destination.

rest spot.. time to play JENGA with rocks!

towards the town for lunch!

me with my gnocchi al pesto. magnifico!! :D

very very fresh fish.. awesome stuff

rice with clams and prawns.. i didnt have this.. but those who had said it was amazing!

us basking in the sun having lunch in such beautiful weather..

posing topless again after lunch..

monterosso.. time to go to the beach! supposedly NAKED BEACH but we didnt have enough time to travel to that beach which is quite far.

instead we slept on the beach with gravel...

throwing pebbles into the sea.

shhhh.. he's asleep

little boy going into ice cream shop!

ice cream to cool myself in the hot weather.

this looks like a retarded jump.. hahaha

delicious food waiting for us!

we were late for our train ride so we gobbled down all this in within 12 minutes.. pretty sickening. the owner must be digusted at these asians who dont know how to appreciate the fresh seafood.. (bill was paid thanks to the 18 euros saved from accomodation)

me with the sunset.

us in a harry potter-style carriage.

the biggest pack of crisps i have eaten n seen.. hungry as hell cos we didnt have dinner.
