Dinner and other updates

On Tuesday night, we had a small catch-up dinner at the newly opened Secret Recipe at the Mall. Since Syim, Shing and Sa'dy will be leaving soon for Brisbane, we decided to get together for the last time before they fly back.

Okay, in another note, here are a few updates about some of the going ons in my life right now, hehe. After I got back from KL, I received a letter for another job interview at SPA the next day. So I had little time to prepare but I think the interview went very well, so I am very hopeful that I can get that job. Recently, I had a written exam for another job at SPA. So right now, it's back to waiting for another 2 months or so for the results and at the same time, looking for other posts to apply.

In the mean time, I've been offered another part time job in UBD, which most likely will be starting in February. The part time job is quite similar to the one that I did previously, working as an Assistant Project Manager, but this time, it will be for 4 months. Though the good thing about it is that I could quit if I were to be offered a job in the government within the 4 months. Now, I am still waiting for my salary from the first part time job to come out; it has been more than a month! I do understand that it takes time to process these things though. Oh well.. patience, patience!

Hmm, other than that, nothing much is going on right now. I am just filling my time by catching up with some of my favourite tv shows such as Grey's Anatomy, Project Runway, America's Next Top Model, etc. Oooo, and I am happy that I have another season of American Idol to look forward to each week! I am such a big fan. The audition weeks are always my favourite, laughing at some of the silly costumes and overconfident contestants' antics.

This clip is the funniest audition from last night's show (Chicago audition)! It had me and my sister laughing rolling on the floor, literally! He is very polite though, haha. Sometimes I do not know what these people are thinking . But I applaud him for his bravery for trying out!


Another funny audition clip which I am sure most of you have probably seen (Atlanta audition)!

I started watching Glee recently and am now instantly hooked. The show is still in its first season. The focus of the show is a high school musical choir group or the glee club called New Directions. It is a musical comedy drama and I have to say that the cast are very talented singers! I enjoyed their versions of some of the modern and classic songs. Below are some clips from some of the episodes. Very funny and enjoyable, haha.

I am a free woman now! What I meant is that, now I have some time to myself since I am no longer working at the part time job that I told you about. With the end of the programme that I was a part of, came the end of my contract. Hence, the free time at hand. I think I learned a lot, especially when dealing with administration side of things. It was a great experience. Right now, I plan to relax before we go to our family vacation in KL soon early January (wuhoo! ) which I am sooo looking forward to. Shopping time! After the vacation, I may look for other jobs while waiting for any govt jobs again. Oh well. Patience Patience! I took some piccies at my temporary office as shown here.

Another random thing.

I have recently started watching this Indonesian series staring this very very adorable 4 year old kid, famously called Baim. My parents are telling me about a tv series featuring this cute smart kid, so I decided to check it out and is now hooked! I am not a big fan of Indonesian series but this is an exception, hehe. Check out the series, Buku Harian Baim at 6:30pm, SCTV channel, hehe. Look for the tabamest kid in the clip with adorable big eyes and puffy cheeks (the main character) which I really really would like to picik haha!

Here's a short clip. He sings too!

Smelly Cat, Smelly Cat, What are they feeding you?!

I absolutely adore the TV show FRIENDS. I've watched the episodes countless of times, hehe. One of my favourite parts of the show would be Phoebe's sometimes inappropriate but HILARIOUS songs, lol. Last night I was just watching some of the episodes and thought that I wanted to post some of the songs here. My most favourite songs would be the Christmas song and the Smelly Cat song. And who could forget the ever hilarious Smelly Cat video clip, lol. Enjoy the trip down memory lane! :P

I can't stop laughing everytime I watch these! Heehee.

Do you believe in ghosts?

Currently, my sister and I are hooked on Ghost Hunters. Initially we managed to catch some of the episodes on Star World but we only tuned in later on in the seasons. Recently we managed to catch the first 2 seasons on DVD and are now currently on the 3rd season. Hehe. To tell you the truth, I am not much of a horror show/movie fan but this reality show is an exception. It does not show the usual horrifying and gruesome movie make ups of the so-called 'ghosts' which can easily scare me (haha). My friends would know that, during our horror movie marathons, I would usually surround myself with pillows and usually peek through a small gap on my hands while watching the horror movies hahaha, which I know can get pretty tiresome. Or another alternative, I would lower my glasses so that the screen would be a blur, hahaha.

So anyway, back to this show, it is a reality show which focuses on a group of investigators who are called in to investigate certain homes, premises or buildings which are claimed to have certain paranormal activities. The investigations involved the usage of various electronic equipments which they believe are capable of detecting any paranormal activities such as the electronic voice phenomenon (EVP) which are used to record any disembodied voices, EMF for recording the electromagnetic fields and temperature readings. Cameras are set up at any of the hot spots. The ghost hunters, known as TAPS, will usually try to debunk any of the unusual experiences claimed by the building owners and witnesses by recreating scenarios and giving any possible explainations on events that may not actually be paranormal.

It is a very cool show in my opinion. It also does not cause me to hide behind pillows and so forth, hehe. Sometimes there are paranormal activities caught on tape such as full body apparitions, black shadows, strange noises, disembodied voices which can be creepy at times. The places they investigated are very interesting such as old hospitals, old hotels, prisons, houses, light houses and so on. Whether the investigations are credible or not, I am not sure, but it is certainly an entertaining program which I now come to enjoy very much! :)

The latest season is currently playing on Star World, on Wednesdays 10pm.

P.S I've just created this new signature which I spent an hour or so on that I'm going to use to end my posts from now on. (memang nada kraja bah, haha)

This is a rant

NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

I can't believe that one of my favourite idols, Allison got the boot during last night's result show! For those of you who watch American Idol, you would know what I am talking about. I am an avid AI watcher haha. It was the final four this week, and from the performances, I think that Allison and Adam rocked the house than the other two singers. I was hoping my two favourites, Allison and Adam would make it to the finals, since I believe that they are most creative in their musical arrangements and had always stayed true to their singing style. It would be interesting to watch them in a rock 'duel'.

So many distractions today. I mean malam ani lah. There's Australian Idol, then 90210, followed by the Emmy's. The plan is to finish up my FQ while watching tv.. apa ni nya orang, sambil menyelam, minum air.. hehe.. Well, so far that plan alum menjadi.. Sudah plang ku buka my FQ document ganya alum tah ku sambung2 membuat.. Oh well, hehe.. Being a tv person, I am actually looking forward to watch the Emmy's. Since ku di brissy ani, banyak plang tv shows yang nda ku brapa terfollow lagi, I just watch some bits and pieces of some of the episodes here and there whenever I have the time and if I feel like it plang jua. The thing is, masa ani sanang plang jua kan belurih some of these tv shows, you could download it from the net or just buy the dvd box set. Di Brunei slalunya kinda up to date with DVDs of these tv shows. Sediakan saja usin nya, haha.. I collected some DVDs of some of my favourite shows over the years such as ER, Grey's Anatomy, South Park, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, CSI (Las Vegas), House, FRIENDS, etc. Yang ku ada complete collection would be Buffy and FRIENDS. Since ani my feveretest show, sanggup ku membali DVD nya, dpt liat balik-balik, haha.. Yang paling latest collection ku would be South Park. Baruku collect sampai season 10. Nanti tah bila ku balik ke Brunei membali lagi, pelan pelan.. hehe

Baru this year ku start meliat Scrubs banar2, c Yunyun yang introduced. Pernah dulu ku liat sikit2 masa di brunei, tapi nda ku memfollow. Ku liat saja bila aku ada masa, hehe.. Ingat ku dulu, when I was a teen, banyak tv shows yang ku suka liat, bila ku pikir-pikirkan. Macam the superman tv show: Lois and Clark.. Wah, minat ku dulu tu. Then, ada lagi X-Files jua, c Mulder and Scully. Oh, ingat kamu jua the series, "Popular" about a cheerleader and a journalist and their friends who are totally opposites. When their single parents met on a cruise, fell in love and got married, they were forced to live together as a family and macam2 lah antics durang atu. Siuk tu dulu tv show atu. Eh awu, ada jua this sci-fi tv show that somehow aku suka liat jua, haha, namanya Farscape.. ani pun aku dulu selalu liat ni. Apa lagi ah, hmm, there's Gilmore Girls jua, but lama sudah nda ku ikuti, so ketinggalan tah ku sudah tu, haha.. Hmm, what else? I watched a bit of Dawson's Creek jua dulu, Home improvement, a bit of Angel which is the spinoff from Buffy, and macam-macam lagi, couldn't think of any at the moment. Wah, what a tv junkie I was! and still am, but to a lesser degree now, hehe :p makin sibuk kan these days.. dulu masa damit-damit, nda jua banyak banar kan diingaukan banar, haha, banyak lagi masa tu..
