The year is coming to an end. And I think, I'm not going to do much on new year's eve. For one, Piak will be working. Two, I don't exactly have good friends here. I know. It's sad. Hahah. I'm officially friendless in Brunei. I does gets me sometimes. But it's alright. I keep myself busy with work anyway. That's one reason why I like being busy working. The food an drinks are all prepared and I know what I'm doing and what to expect. Well, more or less.
Speaking of work, I went to KL last night and we were about 20 minutes late and for that, I think Piak is mad at me. I have no idea why, but he's not talking to me, at all. I tried making conversation but, I think I prefer talking to the wall. I was excited of going home and tell him all the exciting details of my work. But, I think you'll know it before him.
Anyway, I was the one who brought the flight to KL. I did the takeoff, the Passenger announcement, and the landing. If you're a pilot, you would know how it is to get to KL. The radio controller makes it very difficult. First, he made us fly realllllyyyyy slow and then he changed his mind. Then he made us fly slow again and I was pretty high on my flight path(which we call profile). Thankfully, I managed to control all that. Oh, did I mention, it was a captain's training flight? And there was an instructor sitting behind us both, looking at all the things we did? Well, yes, it was.
So, on the final stage of the flight, we were trying to keep our distance from the aircraft in front of us. Somehow, we got closer and closer. I swear, it seems like the aircraft in front of us just stopped midair and we suddenly got too close. He was to land first. And when he landed, we were about 300' above the ground. That does not give enough space for us. So, I heard the words I don't often hear from ATC(air traffic controller) "aircraft still occupying the runway, Brunei 875, go around." Things went so fast. One second we were going down to land, the next, it felt like we were in a space shuttle, on our back, going around. This isn't my first time. It's my third, to be exact. So, I had it under control.
On the second attempt to land, we managed to do it. My landing wasn't the best one. It WAS raining! Hahah. Anyway, we got on the ground safely and the captain I flew with admitted that it was his very first Go-Around, ever, as a commercial pilot. Hahaha! OMG!
Anyway, since we had to do a go-around, we were about 15 minutes late. Everything was in a rush. But I still texted Piak to tell him I'm going to be late. At least I told him. His last few flights, he was late and I never had a single clue that he was.So, I came to pick him up, either slightly early or on time, only to find out, his flight was delayed. But it's alright. I excuse him. But why does it feel like he's angry at me for being late. And he doesn't even know the reason for me being late! Oh well. It's his loss. My life still goes on.I still have to work again tonight.
This time, to Singapore.

I had a hell of a past few days. hahah. First thing's first. We had Xmas dinner at a really nice restaurant we wanted to try. Mangrove Paradise Resort in Kota batu. It's pretty good. Most of the cabin crew recommended it but it never crosses our mind to got there. So, on Xmas night, he asked me where I want to eat. While driving around bandar, I suggested Mangrove. I didn't get any pictures tho. I'm sorry. Maybe next time.
After that, we just went home as Piak had to work early the next day. Well, sort of.
The nest day, I sent Piak to work, and came back to get more shut eye but was cut short as I had to send my family to the river banks for them to have a trip to Temburong, just to have breakfast. I think they were back by 11.45am. And I sent them off at about 8.30. Hahah. What a short trip.
As for the rest of the day, we spent it in my small room, playing games and chit chatting. Piak was to arrive at 5 and while my parents went to The Mall, my brother and I went to pick up my love.
Then, we went straight to the Mall to join my parents to have dinner and watch a movie. Sherlock Holmes. It's really nice. My kinda movie.
The next day, I cooked chicken wings in my room and put it in a nice tupperware. And we bought Nasi Katok and went to the beach to breakfast. It was calming. Right after, we went to the hospital to visit Piak's grandmama. She had a case of gall stones. But in the journey of recovering at this very moment.
After lunch, we had a couple of games of badminton. I was suppose to work that midnight. But, instead of resting, after badminton, we had dinner and chilled out with the other boys until 12 am. And I'm suppose to start working at 12.40. Oh well. It's jsut a trip to perth. Hahahaha..
I must say, I did struggle to stay awake. But then, we were to jon the flight back to brunei, so I could sleep then. While waiting for the other sets of crew to bring us back, which is about 3 hours, we went to the duty free and had tea coffee.
I slept most of the time back to Brunei. Had a nice lunch and sleep more. And after Piak picked me up, we went to the club to play badminton with the other guys again. This time, we lost ALL the games. I was knackered. I bet you would be too if you were in my position.
After badminton, Paik brought me out for dinner. Tourean was the name of the restaurant, I think. I can't remember. Then we had a stroll at yayasan. This whole time, I tried my best to stay awake. Hahha..
When we got home, I slipped into my pj and went straight to sleep.
As for this morning, I sent Piak to work early morning and around 7am, I slept even more. I just woke up at 11am to have bath and get ready for lunch with my love one!
Cioz!

It's Xmas and as usual, when I'm not working and Piak's working, I'm in the room. I need to get new girlfriends to bring out. But, it's not that easy. Haha.
Okay, since my last post, I went to work and had the bbq at a friend's house. It was such fun. Food, drinks, games and all the laughter. It's just like when we were in UK but at the end of the night, it all ended and we all went home.
Piak worked yesterday and I stayed home, cleaning the room and watching dvds. In the evening, after picking up my love, my parents came by. We had dinner at Singapore Table and it was Piak's treat. He had his big pay yesterday. And I had my little one. Hahahah.. My time will come.
After dinner, we had icecream at Kuilap. It was yummy! Hahah. Then we went back to my room for some hot drinks.
As for today, my day started of slow. We cleaned the aircond before sending Piak to work, again. Urgh! i feel like he works all the time. And when I think that, I think about him asking for more even flights. Which pisses me off a little bit more. I need a buddy to keep busy. A girlfriend. A sister? Hahahahahahhahaahhaahh! Nda mau Ayu eh.. :P kidding...
After sending Mr. Yusof to work, I went to Manggis mall for breakfast, ALONE. Takoyaki and waffle were the specials. Hahah. And after breakfast, I met Siang and the girlfriend just getting breakfast.
I went up to get earrings!!! Loads of them! more than $50 worth.. =D
Then I had a stroll at the supermarket getting water for the room and some other useless stuff. And I bought 5 pearl milk tea for me and Piak. He asked for 3 and so, the other two is mine! All mine! Hahaha.
So in the room, I hurt myself. How?
Here's how it happened.
I was getting the tub ready to give the cats a bath. In the middle of it, we ran out of hot water. It happens. I don't know how, but it does. Since I knew that was going to happen, and I don't like the idea of giving the cats a bath with cold water, I boiled some water. After giving one cat a bath, I was about to mix the hot water into the tub. But, instead of just pouring into the tub, I poured in into a "gayong" (can't think of the english word..Ayu, help!), which I held and somehow, the hot water that I poured was more than I can handle and I spilled a whole lot of HOT BOILING water on my hands. I screamed! Ran my hands under the cold water and continued giving the cats a bath, in pain!
Anyway, still in pain and I'm trying to make plans for Xmas dinner. Seasons would be nice, no? Hahaha..
So, people, hope you enjoy you Xmas.
Have a good day. And Merry Xmas and a Happy New Year!!!

22.12.2009
So, yesterday was my birthday. A lot happened this past few days and I'm happy about all of it.
One, the day before my birthday, we went out to have dinner with Piak's family at the Mall foodcourt. We initially planned to have dinner at SML for satay but somehow, they were not opened that night. So, we changed our plan. Mall it was. And after dinner, we enjoyed ourselves at the arcade.
After that bit of fun, we headed off to Mamih in Beribi to join the gang to celebrate Shuk's birthday!! There were tons of people. And we only stayed there for a drink. Probably until 10.30 or 11pm as I had to work the next day. A hong kong flight on my birthday. But it's okay. It'll give Piak time to get all the stuff he had to.
Oh, did I mention, the 21st Dec is also the date of our anniversary. So, yesterday was the 3rd. Hahah!
To Piak, Happy Anniversary! May we have a greater year ahead of us! But a year as great as the previos ones are as good. Every second I spent with you are a lot more special than my birthdays. Haha.
Anyway, after work, we went back to my room and I got ready as quickly as I could. Just to let you know, I arrived around 6.15 and only got to the car at 6.30 and the booking was for 7.30. Hahah. But I let my parents sit there and wait for me.
Anyway, we got to the restaurant, Secret Recipe, at about 7.45. And ordered. I ordered spaghetti meatballs, Piak ordered TomYum noodles, Aauddi ordered lasagne, and we all shared the irish lamb stew! They were the best. The food were really nice but I must say, the service was crappy! The drinks were late, Aauddi's didn't even came. A glass of ice water took nearly 30 minutes and a ready made pie dad ordered came cold after about 45 minutes ordering it and after hundreds of time prompting them about it. Piak wanted to surprise me with a cake but the supervisor said no outside food. The supervisor was nowhere to be seen when we wanted to complain. Then he suddenly appeared SERVING whom I think were his FRIENDS! And as I was observing them, they sure had a better service compared to ours.
Anyway, enough of that. Piak bought me The Beatles Rockband for my birthday and after dinner, he insist on strolling around the mall. Being too observant, i knew something was up. So, it turned out, he bought another pressie and sent it to a shop to be wrapped. But, when we got there, they were closed. Hahaha! I told him not to get me anything. But he didn't listen to me.
Today came and we headed to the Mall in the morning around 10 and he brought me straight to the shop. I was pretty upset him already expecting me to react shocked and surprise and "oh-my-god-i-cant-believe-it". But I'm me. I do do that. But only when I know what's in it. Then we got to the shop and he said, "go n pick whatever". What kind of suggestion is that? He bought something, and he said THAT in a shop??? How was I supposed to know how it looked like? what if it was someone else's? Malu jua ku..what it someone else's was bigger and I chose that when the one he bought was a small one??? I jsut looked at him in disbelief! Finally, I told him to get it for me. And he pointed to a big wrapped package. I was shocked on how big it was! And I couldn't carry it. I told him, I'm not walking around the mall with it. He carried it. I could tell he was upset. He finally said, "your reaction was neither happy nor sad". And I said, "I told you not to get me anything." The game was already good for me. I was sooo happy about it. And I don't know what's wrapped! For all I know, they're rocks! I'm the type of person who only has a reaction when I know stuff clearly.
So, we got home with 3 kilos of chicken wings for me to marinate for tomorrow's bbq, and I was more engrossed with the chicken and left the pressie on the bed, untouched. I felt like torturing him. In the room, I felt like running to the pressie and tear the wrapper. But I waited. I was upset. I know I'm wrong. But do you know how bad I feel, knowing he got me too much when I only bought him 2 sets of shirts for his last birthday and I didn't get him anything for the anniversary??? I felt horrible. I felt like crying and telling him to get a refund even before opening the present. But I sucked it up and hugged him and said I'm sorry, with a few tears, and opened it up. It was the last thing on earth I expected. It was Zeppelin. The super Hot speaker only for ipods. And I don't have an iPod! I cried even more!
Hahaha.
Then we got ready for a lunch grouping at excapade in gadong to celebrate my birthday with my friends. It was my treat. The initially plan was for us to have lunch at 1230 and meet up again for badminton about 2pm before their football match. Piak couldn't play. He's working.
So, I'm heading for the airport in about 30 minutes to pick up my love.
Plans for tomorrow, I'll be working and we have bbq plans at a friend's house. I think he said after 8. Heheh! Yay!
Oh, I forgot to mention, after sending Piak to work, I went to the mall and bought him a present. I know it's a day late. But, I've been busy working. I'm really sorry, my love. Hope he loves the present.
You want to know what it is????
ipod touch! 64G!!!

"That's a funny place for his antenna.." AHAHAHA! I laughed my head off! I'm watching Planet 51. I bet anyone would laugh if they watch it..hahah..
Anyway, Piak is off to Perth. And will be back nearly midnight and I will be off to Kinabalu when he comes back. But I'll see him tomorrow when I come back.
Anyhoo, had breakfast with my love one at Singapore Table again. And we stopped by chongHock to get a couple of Dvds for me to watch.
My flight last night was not so bad. The worse part is trying to stay awake. It was horrible. I can't wait to go home.
I'm planning on getting a washing machine for my house. The one with a dryer so I will save space. Hehe. Or, I could just use the extra washing machine mom has at home and air dry the clothes on the hanger. Yeah. Maybe that's what I'll do. Take the free one. And get a nice new one when I can afford it.
I wish I can sleep as much as the cats. Yikes! They were sleeping since about 6 hours ago. Maybe waking up to eat or pee.
I really want to go out. Wish Farah or Ayu were here. Haha. Piak would be better. But he works when I don't and he would still ask for flights. That is another thing that has been bothering me. I would understand him asking for extra flights when he wanted to unfreeze his flying license but now? His license has melted! Why does he need extra flights? Whatever!
Hmm..Come to think of it, I don't think he knows I'm still writing in my blog. Doesn't matter.
I had breakfast with Piak this morning. And now, I'm already hungry. It's alright. I'll just have breakfast tomorrow at the hotel in Kinabalu. I finished watching Planet51 and now I'm watching BandSlam. It's nice so far.
This picture has a lot of really nice memories.

I'm watching Julie & Julia. It's a pretty good movie. Funny and charming.
Anyway, had lunch at Singapore Table. All alone, if I may add. Went there right after sending Piak off to the airport for his Bangkok flight. He's flying with a captain in training and a training captain watching them both. So, no pressure, my love.
And as for me, I'm going to Kinabalu and Manila tonight. And I was hoping I could have a little nap before my flight but by the looks of things, I don't think I can. Last night we had a late night. We were watching a movie and playing the PS3 at a friend's house with a couple of friends. And in the afternoon, we played badminton and had drinks at a cafe.
Oh, latest news, I just updated my logbook and I have about 1170 flying hours. HAHAH! 300 plus hour more to go and I can unfreeze my license and i will be paid more and I can pay my debt to the bank for the house and the things in the house.
I just gave Chupap a bath and it's lovely how he loves to have baths. And blow dried. Hahaha.
I feel like having a pizza margarita.
Darn it! Time flies too fast. I have to get ready now. Work, work, work! It's alright, think of the 330 hours I have to get before my next simulator check. I wonder if it's even possible. I don't think so. Oh well.

11th? Feels like there's some thing to the date.
Anyway, I got called up from my standby, again! Did a KK flight and continued with a Jakarta flight. Was it tiring, you asked? Hell yeah! I had a massive headache. But I survived. Not to worry. My rest ends tonight, where I'll be doing another flight. A Surabaya. And I'll only be back tomorrow morning.
Sent Piak to the airport this afternoon after having brunch at Jollibee!
Be surprised, if you may, but I don't seem to be looking forward to my so-called special day. I don't know. I think it's the fact that there are things I can't know. For one, while I was in KB, making a birthday cake for a friend of mine, Piak's phone beeped, and a message came through. And as reflex, I went to check it for him. But, he cuts me short. Told me not to read anything. Might be something I shouldn't know about yet. Something about surprise for my birthday. Then he went out to make a call. And he said, " don't follow me!". Like I ever did! But the funny part was, when I said things like, "don't get me anything for my birthday." He said he haven't. And he actually swore to it. He told me he will book dinner but that stuff, I know about. Well, to think about it, there are loads I don't know about.
Anyway, enough about him.
I just think to myself, work, work, work. the more I work, the more money I get. And when I don't work, I have to rest. And think about more work. Hahah.
Oh, while I'm at it, this is the cake me and Piak made for Gzul's mom's birthday. :P Nothing much though.
Anyway, I got called up from my standby, again! Did a KK flight and continued with a Jakarta flight. Was it tiring, you asked? Hell yeah! I had a massive headache. But I survived. Not to worry. My rest ends tonight, where I'll be doing another flight. A Surabaya. And I'll only be back tomorrow morning.
Sent Piak to the airport this afternoon after having brunch at Jollibee!

I woke up at 11 am today. But I only slept at 1 am. So, it's all good. Hahah. I feel sooo tired and sick. I did a Singapore and Kuching flight on Saturday and I was supposed to be on standby yesterday. And have a flight this morning.
But, since I'm such a lucky person, I got called up to do a double Singapore flight yesterday! They really should be paying me extra for that! Working for about 12 hours straight is no fun. Thankfully, the captain I was with was a cool captain. A captain I don't mind flying with a lot. Tho I don't think the feeling goes both ways. Hahah.
Anyway, on our first trip to Singapore, the flight was delayed and it was a full flight that we had passengers in the cockpit with us. Good thing was the passenger was a pilot himself and was a nice company to have.
After hundreds of yawns, we finally arrived in Singapore and being ALREADY late for about 11 minutes, the captain managed to make me go to the terminal and get some stuff for him and some other people. I don't really mind. I only kept glancing at the time for about 50 times. Haha.
On my "stroll" around the terminal, a passenger came up to me asking for directions to a gate.
Sigh. For one, I don't exactly work at the terminal and Singapore has about 3 different terminals! So, that wasn't much help. But, I managed to point her into the directions of the information centre. Haha! And knowing that she does not know english, there's no point saying anything in english so I said, "tanya mereka." and somehow she replied, "terima kasih"! I had a laugh! I thought to myslef, I'm malay, does she not see that? she can speak malay to me and I can help her in no time. Then again, I might not look malay to her.
Then half way to my destination (a duty free shop), a group of middle aged ladies came swarming towards me shouting things in other language. I think it was dutch? or some sort. Hahaha. They all talked at the same time, very loudly asking things I have no idea about. I felt like shouting back, "ENGLISH pls! ENGLISH!!!" but I'm in my uniform, so, I have to behave and just smile and shake my head. Finally, one of them said, "bags?bags?" So, naturally, I presumed, they just arrived and wondered where to go! for god's sake, it was SINGAPORE terminal! there were signs everywhere!!! And the signs have pictures with it. But, with a smile, I pointed out where they should go.
Finally, I got the stuff on the list and headed back to my plane. thankfully, we left on time.
On our second trip, we ended up having a gate where it's the furthest from the terminal. Mind you, it takes about 7-10 minutes worth of quick walking just to get to the very first shop. Thankfully, we were about 5 minutes early and once again, the captain managed to persuade me to go to the terminal and get ourself some chocolates. Hahah. I'd do anything for chocolate!
It's a good thing the terminal is very cold or else, I'd be drench with sweat after the walk! I got to the fist chocolate shop and the workers there were at awe having me there and they actually asked to take photos with me. I'm touched. Hahahah. And they gave me free chocolate. Yummy!
On the way back to the plane, which literally felt longer than going out, I was hoping I wont delay the flight. Thankfully enough, we actually left about 5 minutes earlier. Hahah! And we got home about 20 minutes early. Yaay!
So, a couple of hours later, here I am, all unwell and dealing with a bad headache hoping they won't call me to do another flight today since I'm on standby from 1300-1900. Alright, Aspirin time. Hahahah!

Here I am, watching more DVDs in my room, all alone. I had a busy day today. It could have been a normal four sector flight but, it didn't start out well in the morning.
Piak, me and Gzul met up yesterday. Gzul wanted us to make a birthday cake for his mom. And I came up with this.
That's just a sketch I came up with. The bottom part will be fruit cake and the top will be chocolate! Heheh. He wanted a heart cake on top of a circle cake. The cake will mostly be PINK. He wants the cake on the 9th. And we'll only start on the 7th. My guess is, we'll end up with only a simple cake.
I just don't have the confidence in my cakes. I don't think any of it are good enough. I wanted better ones. But, I think that's as far as I can go. That's why I would feel guilty charging ANYONE ANYTHING for the cake.
Anyway, as for today, it's been a pretty angry day. I had to wake up too early. :P
And worst of all, I woke up feeling like I've not slept at all. Anyway, I did Singapore and Kuching flight today. We were delayed by about 20 minutes the whole time and we were not able to get back the lost time. It was impossible. From where we see it, we were delayed by one person. V2 is what I blame on. Haha. You might not understand. Sorry. Will explain next time.
Anyway, We got to Kuching finally and on the way, I had a funny feeling.
One, Piak made me choose to do the flight from Kuching to Brunei.
Two, Mom texted me and said my grandparents in Kuching will be having lunch at the airport just to "feel" me closer.
Three, She canceled our plan to watch a movie together.
Four, my brother is in Kuching.
So, when we said the passengers can board the plane in Kuching, I kept a lookout, and I saw that the very first passenger walking towards the plane was my brother! Sigh.
Mom didn't tell me when he was coming back, so I didn't know! They have been keeping quite a lot of things from me. And Piak knows all about it. Whatever, I would say to myself.
And oh, we did have KFC for dinner. And I was starving!
Another thing, Piak told me the kittens downstairs, the grey ones, have gone missing! Miiiissssiiinggg!! URGH! Another "whatever!"
