Piak's off to the office. He's leaving soon. Leaving Brunei, I mean. Tomorrow, to be exact. He's off to London to visit the queen. Hahahah.. It's for his simulator sessions for 5 weeks. Not to worry. I'll be joining him in about a month from now, for 2 weeks. Yay! I bought my ticket to London via Singapore. I'm using Emirates this time. Last year I used Singapore airlines. Now, I have a change of heart. Hahah.. More like, wanting to try different airlines.
Anyway, I bought my ticket yesterday. It cost me $800! Woooow.....But it goes straight to London Gatwick. That's where Piak's having his course. At least I don't have to get the train from London Heathrow.
Anyway, I have to survive just about 3 weeks without him. I think I'll be okay. Will be working and my sister will be here to keep me company.
I'll be visiting my bestest friend in Kent, UK soon. Yay!!!heheh...I'll see how her place is. That would be superb. I didn't get to see the last time she came back for her break. That was a year ago. wow...
And! I'm going to go back to Cranfield to have the best Kebab in the whole wide world! Hahaha...
I think I'll survive staying with Piak for two weeks in Gatwick. All I need is him, anyway. Heheheh..

My day started great today. We woke up at a decent time, went to bandar to get some stuff and we went to Tungku beach to fish! we were there from 10 to 5 pm. It was great. I bought a spool and a rod for myself. It's sooooo cool. Should have taken a picture of it and posted it to show it off. Haha.
There were quite a number of us there and we were all hungry as the person who was supposed to bring the food came really late. But it turned out fine.
Long story short, we didn't catch anything and my 3 days off is coming to an end.
Piak is away, playing badminton without me, again! The last time I worked out was like 6 days ago and it's realllllllyyyyyyy stressing me out. WE were supposed to play badminton yesterday, just after picking my sister from the airport. I was super excited! But somehow, the plan changed! How happy was I? Zero! We just had dinner around Jerudong with my family. Only god knows how much I want to sweat of have my heart pumping. Piak did "invite" me to play badminton. But I'm not that good and I don't like playing with this group of people he's playing with. And the other thing stopping me is how Piak invited me. It's not his fault. He said, you could sit there and see if there's people who's our level who;s willing to play with us. That just shows how much I'm not exactly invited. Urgh! I'm all angry and all that negative mood. I hate this.
I'm supposed to go get the groceries while he plays. Somehow just before we left, I realized what a stupid idea that was. He enjoys himself while I get the HEAVY carton of water, cat food and all that stuff that can wait until tomorrow when he's there to carry it instead of me. Oh well. Here I am, all alone in my room. Pathetic! If only my best friend was here. Or my sister. So we can go out and watch a movie.
Well, that was my plan. To invite Piak and watch a movie. I can't remember the last time we watched a movie together. But he said he wanted to play badminton just before I invited him. So, I kept it to myself. Stupid, aren't I? Of course I am.
I wanna play softball! Badminton! go to the gym and cycle! Swim!
It's just one of those times during a month when I get all moody and stressed out and not happy. I pity Piak for having to go through all of it every month. Sigh.
Now, my body is heating up and I think I'm falling sick! Not a good thing to happen. I have to work early tomorrow.
And my arms are killing me! I just want to cut it off. Maybe I will! And I'm hungry!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
DAMN IT!

I'm never this glad to be home. I was away for two nights in Singapore and it felt like forever! I was counting EVERY second of the day. But somehow, the event in Singapore was not as stressful as it usually is. oh well.. I'm free for another 4 to 6 month. Yaaay... Time to celebrate. But I'm broke already. HAhahah..
We're going out to get some fishing gears tomorrow and going out fishing the next day. Not sure where exactly. But planning on having it in Serasa. Anyone is welcome to join us. You don't have to be an expert. We're still learning too.
Aaaah... The pleasure of THREE days off. Nothing to bother me. Nothing to worry about. No work to be done. And I can go wherever I want and do whatever I want!
I want to sleep. OR swim. OR play badminton! or softball? or just sleep.
Watching a movie would be nice too..
Well, for now, I'm hungry. Off to lunch I go!

So, it's been long. I've not updated because, i've nothing much to say. All I did is work. And we all just received emails telling us not to tell the public on facebook or what, about our flights. So, nothing about flying, nothing in specific. But I can say things like, "i had a good flight". How boring is that. That's not worth telling anyone. We like the hot stories and juices of our jobs. The gossips, the affairs, the good and bad news. But, not anymore will anyone outside or RBA know. Not from me, that is.
Anyway, what have I done outside of work? I went fishing twice with the guys. It's more like picnic/fishing trip. It was fun. I liked it. Suntanning. I love the sun. I love my dark skin.
If you're wondering, no, we didn't catch anything. NADA!
OUr first trip was around UBD/Tungku area.
The second one was at Danau. It was fun. I loved it. Next is Pelumpong(i don't know if i spelled it right).
hehehe...
Yesterday, I joined a group of softball players during their training. I missed paying it. But I'm not sure how much I can keep up. I'm always tired after work. And my job don't exactly have the best timings. I don't usually get 5pm onwards free. I hope they understand that I'm just there as a hobby to fill in my free time.
So, I'm taking Piak with me this afternoon. He can join if he wants to. Or he can just sit around and watch. But I've made up my mind to play softball. Hmmm..
But I like playing Badminton just as much. Where am I going to get that kinda time?
Softball? Badminton?hmmmm...I don't know. I'll just smartly divide my time. We'll see how it goes.
As for now, I should be concentrating on studying for my exam on the 27th. Wish me luck.

I'm sooo into the song Angels Cry by Mariah Carey and Neyo. It's a very beautiful song. You should listen to it. Anyway, I did a double Singapore flight yesterday. It means, at 12 in the afternoon, I went to work and went to Singapore and back, and went back to Singapore and back, again. and we can only go home at 12 midnight! That's the ultimate flight. I think I'd rather do direct London. Hahah. Or maybe not.
After able to be on the bed by 12.30am, I have to get back to work in about 18hours. Pretty much on the same day. Hahaha. But tonight, I'm just going on a fun ride. I'm there as a spare part. Hahah. Just hope I'm not needed that much.
We'll be playing badminton again today. Well, probably. I'm not so sure yet. I have not inform the gang yet.
Oh, by the way, I'm watching American Idol! It's funny. really.
Anyway, it's just a few days till Valentines' Day. I know the news paper said, "muslims cannot celebrate Valentines day". I think I'll just celebrate it as a day to appreciate the ones you love, either next to you, or a little further out (ayu). I know we're to appreciate them everyday, but, we can't really celebrate it everyday, can we? That's no fun. :)

Aaaahhh...An off day today.. What pleasure. Well, what is up u ask? Piak is working to Bangkok today and he said he'll get me donuts. He said the donuts there is soft and not so sweet. He tried it once. he bought a whole box but gave the rest to the cabin crews. Oh well. Whatever. I give my box of chocolates to the cabin crew too. That's life. Life as a Pilot. Another reason why I don't want to settle down and get married yet. 10 years people. Then, maybe, I'm ready.
Anyway, I just came back from a trip to Singapore with my family. On the first day, we went to Ikea. It was fun, just walking around the building. But it's sad how I can't really get anything. For one, it's expensive and another, how the hell am I going to bring it back to Brunei? Not yet, I tell myself.
We had Chilli Crab for dinner. Aslo Black Pepper crab. It was YUMMY!! And expensive. I don't think I can afford it anymore. Hahah. We'll wait for my bonus, which is, I must add, never.
The next day, we went to Orchard road. I was tired. But it was fun. I bought a whole set of cutlery from WMF. HAH! Finally. It costs alot. But I think it's worth it. Few hundreds on a set of 12 people. :)
Then we went to the airport and had dinner and bought burgers from burger king. YUUUUUMMMM!!
So, right after my trip to Singapore, I went back to work. It was fine. I did a rejected TakeOff. It was fun. Tho we were delayed for two hours. Considering we actually left the stand about 15 minutes early initially. Haha.
Anyway, been keeping myself busy with the house. They say I can only start moving in just before Raya. How bad is that? Been waiting for soo long and I have to wait some more. I'm gonna keep telling myself, if I'm to get a house, get the ones that's already ready to be moved in. Hahahah.. I hate this waiting I'm wasting too much money. That's why.

I have not been updating my blog. My year is so far, complicated. I'm not that busy working, but my days have been passing by like the wind. It started off well, but gradually, went downslope. I just hope it'll pick itself up soon.
Very recently, my grandfather passed away. And it's hard to think about it. I still imagine him being in Kuching with my grandma and that i'll see him again when I go there. Then, reality struck.
And also, very recently, Zul's aunty passed away. She had water in her brain.
And two days ago, One of the captain's son passed away. He had cancer since he was one. He passed away at the age of 7.
And just yesterday, kak Siti passed away. She had sickle-celled anaemia. This was a shock to me. She was only 35years of age.
So, it's only the first month of the year. And so far, not a cheerful start.
But I must say, I'm trying to bring the graph up. I'm bringing my family to Singapore for a night. I hope that will go well.
Today, I sent Piak to work and I went to survey a few stuff for the house in Kiulap. I checked the ones in Miri already so, I just wanted to compare the price. I found the stove I wanted. It's made in Italy lerrrr... And a lot cheaper than the ones in Miri and they are exactly the same.
I also found a fridge that I like. LG.
And also washing machine. But I still have to survey more on these stuff.
I have to look for air conditioning system and the grill on my house.
I don't know how other people do it. I would say I earn loads each month and yet, I don't think I have enough for the house. I kept telling myself, I don't have to get everything at one time. I can always do it slowly.............
I bought the sofas. And the dining set. Those I bought in Miri. I also have to get the lighting for the house. Urgh.... I have so much on my mind now.
And to add to my misery, they wanted to paint the inside of the house YELLOW! NO WAY!! I know it's light in colour. But, No way!!! They promised me white! And white its what I will get! Let's not start talking about tiles. I just hate them. But I kept on telling myself I'll take whatever. But with my family and all to rub it in my face and laugh, really doesn't help me at all.
I have quite a lot on my mind and I'm not about to bother with them.
Alright. I think I'll stop there. Too much anger.
And oh, Ayu, we'll only start moving in after you come back kali...around april or may.....

It's a new day in the new year. Happy New Year to all! On my last post, I mentioned that I won't be spending the change of the new year celebrating. Well, I must say, I was wrong. A few of us guys checked in at Empire and watched the fireworks on the strike of midnight. Piak and I checked in early and got the room prepared. Like, setting up the PS3 and all that, and around 5, Apis came and joined us. He joined us for dinner at LiGong. And it was really unpleasant. I don't think I want to go there again.
Here's what happened. First of all, the dinner cost $95 EACH!! and the room includes a COMPLIMENTARY dinner and breakfast. Prior to checking in, which I did, and Piak waited in the car, I asked a bunch of questions to the receptionist about our stay, like, what time does the gates close to public? what time does it open? what if my family wants to come in? and join me for dinner when the gates are closed? where's the fireworks? the best place to watch it? this, and that, and this! I wanted a perfect stay! So, after all those questions, he gave me my keys and just said, "have a pleasant stay!" and nothing more.
So, we called LiGong, to make sure of our booking, and we called AGAIN, to confirm it and add another person to it. Apis. In the meantime, we stayed in the room and chitchat and played video games!
So, at 7.30, with short pants(the boys) and just t-shirt(me), we headed to LiGong to have our dinner.
We stood outside to give way of the other customers to go out. I think it's just our habits of giving way to passengers in the plane. With a smile and all the patience in the world. So, once it was all clear, we went in and the Black-Suited(BS) people, who was suppose to welcome us NICELY, said "can I have your vouchers? and where is your wristband?" I stood upfront and said, "what voucher? and what wristband?"
And I would never have expected BS's reply! "I'm sorry, but you can't come in"
Shocked and trying to suppress my anger, I said, "No, we weren't given ANY vouchers or any wristbands! But we DO stay here."
BS's reply was "We don't care of you stay here. The receptionist should have given you the voucher or the wristband, and only then can you proof you are allowed to eat here"
By then, there were about 3 of the BS people, trying to get us out of their way and out of the restaurant. Is it REALLY our fault that we weren't given the stupid vouchers? or the stupid wristband?? I gave them Piak's full name and our room number, showed the card and yet, they tried to get us out of there.
By then, I nearly lost my cool and blew off! And can you believe they tried to blame the receptionist? They said they should have given me the stuff and I'm to go back there and ask for it. He said, "the main building might give you a hard time if you don't have the wristband." I thought quietly, "i handled you, so I think, I can handle anyone who asks me questions!"
Finally, they gave in, checked the list of names that she was holding THE WHOLE TIME, and found our name. HOw easy was that??? BANCI KU EHHH!!! MENTALLL!!!
Anyway, the food wasn't that good. AND on top of the $95 buffet, we have to PAY for the drinks! what kind of buffet that cost THAT much made us pay for just WATER! plain ice water?????We'll be happy if we get tap water, even! sigh. No way I'm going there again! never!
After dinner, we went back to the room to rest. We played games and the rest of the night went well. The guys started to come over one by one and we went to watch the fireworks.
I was still trying to forget dinner.
After the fireworks, we went back to the room and some of the guys went out to get Nasi Katok and Piak went to sleep as he had to work at 6 am in the morning.
Some of the guys went home and in the morning, I sent Piak to work, came back and went back to sleep and woke up, in time for breakfast. I called Rachel, an old friend of mine to join me. After breakfast, I sent her back and packed all the stuff to check out and straight to the airport to pick up my sayang.
Before going back to my room, we went to Tanjung Nangka to visit our house. The roof is done, so is the plastering, and I think next will be the tiles! Can't wait to move in our new house!! Maybe in a few months time, we will! Yaaay! Our very own house! Then, we went back to the room and I went straight to bed! Piak was still awake, cooking lunch. Hahah!
All in all, I hated my stay at empire. Don't think I want to do it again. But enjoyed my time with my sayang and my friends.
