    hyde park!

    well actually kenington park (sp?)
    Instead of going shopping. Me, anne and Kelvin (one of the boys going to Leighton park too) went to Hyde park!
    The place is so huge. Hyde park is part of a bigger park. We spent 1.5hrs there. walking around and admiring the scenery. Ducks~swans~lavenders~roses~squirrels! (chipmunks?)

    London~!

    5.41am or 10.41pm here in London. August 28th(29th in Brunei)

    Arrived at London yesterday.

    Am at the Brunei Hall until 2nd where i'll be transported off to school. Waaa

    When i went into the airplane. Reached row 49 where I sit. Casually asked "49 right?" to the person already sitting there. As i realised who it was i was very shocked. (Anne confirmed that my shockness was very clear -_-") The person was the president of the Brunei Student Union. Seriously didnt expect to be sitting next to him. I knew he was in the flight though. was told that by the teacher before boarding.

    Flight was Loooooooong. First half(to Dubai) sat near the aisle so i couldnt properly sleep. Slept like 1 hour only i think. 2nd half (towards Heathrow) I changed seats with mr.president (sorry i dont know his name XD) so i sat near the window and could lean at the side. Yay! sleep! Downside: hard to go out if you want to go to the toilet. He was nice though.

    Now at the Brunei Hall. Sharing a room with Fazleen and Anne. Inside the room is boring so I like to go down and sit at the lobby/reception area. There's a tv there and has a long table. Almost all the A-level students like to be there or sit outside on the porch. Most of the students are crazy! lol. Especially Kevin (who's loud and crazy) who cant wait to be taken away from Azrin. (they're sharing a room) both like to talk. both are crazy in their own way. so XD

    First day: followed Azrin and his brother (and Erwan) walk to the oxford street from Brunei hall and then took the tube to Nandos and went back to brunei hall using bus.

    2nd Day: Followed Fazleen and her brother around. We went to Oxford circus first using tube. Fazleen had this photoshoot thing with a girl from Brunei hall so meand anne followed by Faz's brother walked until Regent street,Piccadilly circus, china town and all the way back to Oxford circus. Used bus to come back to Brunei Hall.

    Food here is crazy expensive! Tomorrow i promise myself not to drink any soda and not eat out much. Me and anne bought 4 banana's for 1.60pounds. (roughtly B$5!) Anne bought an apple for 50 pence(B$1.50!) Yes only one apple. There's this grocery store which is the closest to Brunei Hall. But it's expensive. Sebab kan makan sangat beli aja la...

    While at Oxford circus, Faz's brother brought me and anne to Apple store where i used the computer at the side (supposed to be for people to see how to use their ipod nano :P) to email hichan and left a message at the HSGP blog. Skimmed through the emails but didnt read properly. Will stand infront of the counter tomorrow and use the internet if possible.

    Prom and farewell

    Promise

    I hearby promise my dad to not cry excessively before, during or after departure.

    I know i'm lazy and stubborn but i'll take care of myself and i will make an effort to learn

    I promise to keep myself away from bad people and will not shame you.

    I hate your company for making you go before i do.

    I left you wearing a long dress.

    I hope you'll see me mature and independant in a few months.

    Promise to come visit me in december k? >.<

     

    I cried at one point during prom. Cos my dad called. he was about to go to Miri and stay there a night since his heli flight is early in the morning. I wont see him again until he comes visit me there. T_T called him again and talked crap. whatever i could think of at that time. After that I realised that i shouldnt be crying. I have to be strong. Thanks to Pipah and Stella for the comfortings

    Prom was... fun. I havent been in a dress. i mean just a dress without jeans underneath since primary school. So yeah. it was awkward at first but i felt the dress was too pretty to be covered by my big shawl so off it went >.<

    I didnt go get my makeup and hair done at a salon. Me and my sis did my hair while my mum did my make up

    prom1Took from Key's blog. ^_^V

    makeup was light and glittery. so you cant see it that much from the pics.

    That was the most dancing i've done ever~! My thighs were still hurting from all the dancing for the farewell party dance battle and dancing like that in high heels were X_X but it was fun. My feet didnt care. XD

    tag

    I was tagged by Peng. So, here are the rules:

    - State 15 weird things/ habits/ little known facts about yourself
    - The 10 people I tag are to then to follow my footsteps and write their own 15 weird things/habits and little known facts.
    - No tag backs

    1. I cant recall details of myself perfectly in malay. Eg: IC no. : kosong satu kosong empat...ummm... zero one zero four six two seven seven. (i need to say them quickly in english first esp. my phone number)

    2. I hate it when i sleep in the afternoon. Blame myself for wasting time afterwards. The thing is... if i dont sleep... i'll still be wasting my time so yeah XP

    3. I cant stay still. Amai Tangan if all other means fail.

    4. I secretly love the lollita style. Esp baby/gothic lollita. (dont have any clothes like that though. ..yet)

    5. I like to lean on people's shoulders.

    6. I hate shopping. My biggest fear about living by myself in UK is that there'll be no one that'll make me buy stuffs.

    7. I'm a lurker/silent reader/observer. Keep quiet at the back and observe. Shhhh...

    8. I love to watch people dance. (I cant dance well). Fav music are those that dance pop.

    9. The internet is my life.

    10. Zone out and panic easily. I scare people when i start to panic. XD

    Now I'm tagging

    Whoever hasnt done this yet. cos a lot has been tagged already

    Has been busy the whole time. so didnt get to update much. when i do have time, i dont feel like it. sorry

    13th aug

    13th August, 4.25pm Wednesday

    (no internet right now. to be posted later)

    Just got back home. Eh no actually just came back to my grandparent's house. Was at the Institute Perkhidmatan Awam from 7.45a.m till 4.15pm. There's this 4days talk thing for us newly awarded scholars. That is why i'm staying at m y grandparent's house. So that my parents dont have to go all the way from KB to the main district just to send me. (that's 1hour 30 mins mind you)

    I went to singapore on Friday till Monday. Confirmed with the MOE office first if they had anything planned for me during the weekends but they said no only on Tuesday so we thought, okay. no problem. Then on saturday they called me to go to the IPA on monday! I was like lskljdflksjfd dmy flight is on monday afternoon! I cant come! But sadly the caller was busy and didnt had time to deal with me she just told me over and over again that i had to go.
    Had no choice. miss it. It's not all my fault, the people earlier said there wont be anything on monday.

    But i came the next day, there were 400 people there. so i guess one person missing didnt bother them. I missed the talk about our allowances though. bummer. I dont know what to do about the allowances right now. Only a vague idea from the booklet they gave us.

    I know my school already. Leighton Park Boarding School. Guess what? I'm the only girl in the batch to that school. Nice... -_-" The boys are all so tall. I didnt get to properly see their faces. I only know Azrin and this one chinese guy's face. But i'm glad azrin's there. Relieved actually. But still scared. Heck i'm the only girl?! I cant rely on the guys much since girls and boys would obviously be seperated. I'd have to just... adapt by myself and ask help from the boys when i get to see them. the seniors from brunei are all girls though. that's what they say but still... :S

     

    oh editted my schedule. it's full now. so make an appointment. :P

    medcheck

    Writing this otw home from Brunei-muara district where i had my medical checkup. Post was posted immediately as the writer gain access to the wireless link at home.
     
    *sigh* Tired~
    My eyes are sleepy but that's probably because i watched seigi no mikata ep 4 in the car
    Had a tiring day
    overall day in chronological order:
    6.00 woke up and get ready
    7.00 went out
    7.30 reached St.margaret. Dropped brother and neighbours
    *slept in car*
    8.45 reached grandparent's house
    9.00 sister went to college while my parents and I set out to the immegresion office (sp?)
    Dad made new passport.
    Dad renewed his visa.
    Dad decides that i should make a new passport
    Made a new passport
    Went to Yayasan, dad made new bank account. Me and mum shopped.
    Mum bought food. couldnt eat food. was fasting for blood test ._.
    12.30 reached RIPAS hospital.
    lady at counter 1: Karanglah patang.ani masa rehat kaliah.
    Us: awu patang tu pukul brapa?
    lady behind counter: 1.45 ka..
    Us: ....
    Dad: I'm hungry
    Off to the canteen
    Mum and dad ate while I watched HHS livestages (Bump up, fly) and Namida no iro PV and some random songs.
    1.05 went back to the counter one area. One boy and his mom was there.
    We sat at the open area with chairs.
    I listened to music. Mom read the newspaper. Dad slept.
    1.40 More students. The ones from when I had my interview. Counter opened
    Mom and me left dad sleeping there as he was sleeping soundly.
    Like Erwan said once, yes it was the amazing race hospital version XD
    Since we didnt know what to do and where we should do it
    4.00 done at the hospital. (except my stool sample which i'll hand in later >.<)
    rushed to the Kiarong Health clinic for mantoux test
    *ate(stuffed self) in the car otw there*
    They were right. Mantoux test was more painful ._.
    No time for teeth check at the old airport (airport lama)
    Retreat to grandparents' house and gave sister her donuts.
    6.13 somewhere at the tutong district highway going home.
     
    Is it normal for when you take the mantoux test, the lump which formed disappears?
    Or will a newer lump form later?
