bruneians get under your skin

my housemate (who's also my colleague) were discussing this the other day. even though, it's kinda tough for us here in brunei because we are missing our families, our young colleagues at the office make it all worthwhile. it's interesting to see how they have grown and matured. some of them joined after us, so we could see how they have progressed. bruneians are generally family-oriented and warm people. and they do get under your skin ... in a good way.

off day (hurrah!)

it's finally my off day! can't believe my last post was sunday! yesterday was crazy. didn't sleep just so i could finish writing my piece for the paper. also, managed to squeeze in the final episodes of the hit Taiwan series "You're My Destiny". Really, really funny.

Listen to the theme song here at youtube.

ubaya ubaya

had the tv on while i was blogging. these programme looks interesting. reminds me of some trendy/hip islamic based talk shows i saw on arabic tv (on astro) and in malaysia.

found a website, i think belonging to one of the hosts: zayn sabri

> check it out

procrastination

i am such a bleedin procastinator. hv been back over a week and my bed is still bare. i have not put on the laundered bedsheet as yet. have been sleeping on the mattress protector. argh. so freakin lazy!

gotta do it tonight. sigh.

and clean my room.

i really wish i have a robot maid.

sunday scrambled eggs

actually i haven't cooked the eggs. just thinking about cooking it for either iftar or sahur.

am thinking scrambled eggs with chives and voila! there's a recipe on the internet.

found a few recipes:

chinese scrambled eggs with chives. >more

scrambled eggs with chives and sour cream. >more

alternatively, am just gonna create my own recipe with whatever i have in the fridge. have a whole loaf of wholemeal bread which i haven't eaten!

actually, i'm feeling a bit embarrassed. my housemate washed the dirty dishes last night coz i was soooo sleepy that i crashed immediately after coming home from work - the result of a korean drama marathon. finished watching all five dvds of Cinderella Sister. both housemate and i work nights and normally we get home around 1am, have supper and turn in. my mayte normally wait for subuh prayers before she goes to sleep. i do too but after returning from my recent malaysia hols, my biological changed and i have been waking up early, and getting sleepy by 1am. and actually i like that coz i am really a morning person. so, i'm trying to see whether after ramadhan, i can sleep early, wake up for subuh prayers, write a bit, then take an afternoon nap before work. hmmmm, we'll see.

korea dramas

we are crazy about korea dramas in this household. it's really weird. i don't even have a dvd player at my apartment in malaysia. but here, i had to buy one. we don't have a car, so we hardly go anywhere. so most of the time, we watch dvds, esp korean. LOTS of them. LOL!

right now we are watching Cinderella Sister. ouch. painful.

muara beach

this is the main recreational beach for bruneians, especially those who live in the capital. it's a lovely beach but unfortunately it's full of litter. sigh.
