Summer Flick Burn Out

At first I thought I'd put the title to this post as 'too much butter on my popcorn' but it just sounded cheesy. Haha. Well, I've been watching too much action movies this year. I guess it's time for me to take a break from all that and settle down with some really nice romantic / feel-good movies for a change. Of course, I prefer watching them in the comfort of my room. No point watching romantic movies without a date eh.


Lately I was watching P.S. I Love You on my computer. Okay, so I missed it in theaters many months ago. I know most of you have watched this already when it came out. I really liked the plot and I think that Gerard Butler is a fantastic actor. P.S. I Love You may have received lukewarm reviews from film critics when it was first released but I personally enjoyed it from the start. Its downright hilarious, and sad at some point. Overall, a good choice for your DVD shelf.


And this one's not bad either, and I've been meaning to watch Definitely, Maybe twice. Brilliant performance by little Abigail Breslin, and what's not to like about Ryan Reynolds? Again, missed its theatrical release last February and I only got to watch it pretty recently after getting the DVD. Definitely, a good buy.

What I've yet to watch is Ayat-Ayat Cinta, an indonesian romantic film that's now currently playing at the Empire Theater. I've heard a lot of praise on this movie by critics and bloggers. But in actuality Ayat-Ayat Cinta has been around since last February (released June in Malaysia). The soundtrack's pretty good too. Should I head over to Empire or watch the DVD?








Yes, that's Rianti Cartwright behind the veil, and yes she has strikingly beautiful eyes, both in this movie and in real life.

One Hot Sunday Afternoon

Today's forecast; sunny. No not the regular lovely sunny day. It was hot as hell i could barely stand longer under the heat of the sun. Even Rano had to take 3 showers today. I was at the Bazaar at the Pusat Ehsan earlier this afternoon but I didn't stay long due to the prickly heat. Here are some random shots.

The Revamped Business School Uniform

My, how much the school has changed. It was only a year ago when the school uniform was first implemented, and now they have been revamped with a more contrasting touch to their colors. So I've decided to make a surprise visit after hearing from relevant sources that the boys will be wearing their new specially designed uniform today. Just to take a few snaps, I came down to the Business School this morning before lunch with Kamal and Jamal right after we left the Indoor Stadium for the Youth Day Celebration.

Indeed, so much have changed since my colleagues and I left for our industrial attachment. When we started back in 2005, we never had to put on uniforms. Aside from the new uniforms, I see new tutors coming in as well, and that a couple of rooms in the green building are finally renovated with air-conditioning and are occupied by the new juniors. In my days, super seniors Yamin, Reza and Helmy used to be there (and it was really hot back then).


The Business School tie really gives a nice touch to the uniform.


New and Improved.


Now here's a guy who thinks positively about his new uniform.


Even Isa thought they looked cool.

Final year blues? Yeah, we've been there. LoL.


Always think positively in school. Change is a good thing. ^_^


Leaving for lunch.


Siapa lagi birthday ani?


A few of my colleagues also dropped by to submit their attachment attendance forms.

The National Youth Day 2008

Today is a special day for the youths of Brunei Darussalam. A celebration was held earlier today at the Indoor Stadium at the Negara Hassanal Bolkiah Sports Complex, Berakas. His Majesty The Sultan Dan Yang Di-Pertuan Negara Brunei Darussalam attended the morning event to witness the oath and several performances by the youth to commemmorate this special day. Also attending the event was Yang Mulia Pehin Orang Kaya Seri Dewa Mejar Jeneral (B) Dato Seri Pahlawan Haji Awang Mohammad bin Haji Daud, the Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sports.

I was invited by Kamal to attend this event this morning to take a few shots. The Ikrar Belia (Youth Oath) was lead by his brother, Ak Kamal Ghadafi bin Pg Haji Suhaimi @ Kamaloko.

Lookin' good, bro.

August Is Here

Good morning readers. July has finally ended and today's the first day of another month of 2008. Can you believe it? We've already passed half of the year! Looking back, there has been so many things going on for the past 6 months, but there's more to look forward to in this second half of the year.

I'm doing well on my first month of my industrial attachment, but that's probably just the beginning. What I'm really anticipated about right now is our graduation but that's not gonna happen until next year. I just can't wait to graduate and move on to the next level. I just have to wait and endure the remaining months with my attachment at Armada Properties. Hey, At least I don't have to worry about homework, assignments and tests anymore. (Somehow I missed group assignments, sigh).

July has been a very busy month itself. The days of events and festivities have been crammed up and there's always something going on almost every week since the 15th. Ramadhan is just around the corner and expect to see a lot of stuff to cover on.

To start off the month of August, I've got 2 events to attend to this weekend. Tomorrow is the National Youth Day celebration and there will be an event to commemorate the day of youths at the Indoor Stadium. Whereas on Sunday, there will be 2 events but I'm not sure whether I could cover both. One is the bazaar at Pusat Ehsan and the other is the Go Kart Racing in Bandar.


I highly suggest that you give your support by coming over to the bazaar organized by Pusat Ehsan this coming Sunday. The Havoc Bloggers will be there so your face might show up in our blogs. Look your best and smile. ^_^
