So far:

Syful@Ketua Kampong
Uncle Jeff
Huda (Thought was Kuda)
Nisa
Mus
Mally@The Bully
Yun@The Great Snorer
Allan@The Shy
Mimi
Ka Siti

I didnt miss anyone? No. Yei. Thats the Bruneian Pepz so far I knew living and breathing in Birmingham. I hope to meet:
Yani@Our Yani
Saiful@Another one
Tony@The chef
Some other pepz I yet to discover

Lots of Brupepz are in Birmi. At least homesickness is under control. :)

I am now officially an Aston University Student. Got my email and student card. My lesson starts next week. I got 4 days of nothingness. Made new friends, Hannah, A guy and A guy. I forgot to ask the guys name.


I need to change my profile at facebook before I joined the Aston network. Dont want to become an object of ridicule or discrimination. The Aunties are hawt and stupid at the same time. Aunties are seniors who are responsible for fresher's week. That includes male and female. When I say Hawt, it refers to female aunty ONLY. The guys are not worth dying for. LOL.


I said something about video, here's one:

Ani paksa ku pakai cakap melayu. Kamu tau napa urg itam selalu kana associate with 'evil' and 'wrongdoings'. Pasal ulah drg lah. Membari ijap. I know its stereotyping, but hei if u are surrounded by em u would know exactly what I mean. Everytime 'drg' pass by me, aku on super alert. They should learn to speak more courteously. Anyways, have to run to Uni. Need to sort out things. Several things. "Auntie is so scary"

Sample oh clearance letter

Nama
Alamat Rumah

Garisan Panjang disini

Pemangku Pendaftar dan Setiausaha,
Universiti Brunei Darussalam,
Jalan Tungku Link, Gadong BE 1410,
Negara Brunei Darussalam Tarikh (Capital letter)

Tuan/Puan (Depends who your A.R is)

Per: Menarik Diri Daripada Menjalani Kursus (Insert your course) Di Universiti Brunei Darussalam (Please underline the whole Sentence, I dont know how to put the line using blogger)

Saya (Insert your full name and IC number, Put in bracket the IC number), Bilangan pelajar (Insert your Student number) ingin menarik diri daripada (your course) di Universiti Brunei Darussalam.

2. State your reason for quiting. For most people its because of the scholarship. Pandai pandai lah gunakan bahasa sendiri.

3. Saya tidak lupa mengucapkan terima kasih kepada pihak Universiti kerana telah menerima saya sebagai pelajar Universiti Brunei Darussalam sejak 6 Ogos 2007.

4. Segala kerjasama pihak Tuan/Puan saya ucapkan terima kasih.

Sekian.

Yang Benar
(Your signature)
(Your full name)

Make two copies of this letter. With this letter, you must staple together your Scholarship offer letter.

Now you finish the letter, whats next?

I did these:

1. I submit the letter to my A.R. (You can either submit it to HEP Pengiran Hasnah or A.R. If you decide to give her the letter, change kepada to Dekan Pelajar, Bahagian Hal Ehwal Pelajar, Universiti Brunei Darussalam)

2. Take Clearance form from HEP General office.

3. Fill in the form.

4. Go to your head of Faculty ask for his signature.

5. Go to Library at the front desk for signature. Then you are asked to Photocopy your clearance form. The Librarian will give you a photocopy card.

6. Go to Technology Centre. This one is easy. First go to room 1.14 (I think) Ask for Chop. Then go to second floor for the signature.

7.Go to HEP Pengiran Hasnah. Ask for her signature. If you have some reimbursement to do, this is the perfect time. You need to have your IC photocopy, Original Resit, Scholarship photocopy and reimbursement letter. For reimbursement letter write "Ingin memohon pemulangan wang pembayaran sebanyak dua ratus empat puluh ringgit (240) yang telah dibuat pada (The date of payment on your receipt). You can keep the no 2, 3 and 4. Staple these papers together.

8. Go to Finance section of Administration building (Ground floor). Remember I told you to make two copies. Give one of your clearance letter to the attendant there.

Thats it. Your done. Simple right? Hehe

Any mistake on methods are at your own risk. Hahaha

Dont know what to write

Ok Little Devil, I give up. I dont know what to write about you. (I am actually too lazy to write about anything right now)

Still need to confirm my flight tomorrow. M.O.E should have assigned two people on this task (Traveling) I felt sorry for that old man. He had to manage on his own. Who am I to complain?

My packing is 90% completed. Today, I am buying

New Stationaries
Books
Everything else my eyes think I need em


Its weird how people can tell there flying on this particular date while I've seen on the paper that their names are not on it. (That includes me) Two times my Q papers are not submitted to Haji Jali. Hopefully, with the permission and blessing of Mighty Allah, my flight will be on the 18th. I wrote my name down on this 'booking' paper' tho.

Enough with UK talks. Its time to go back here in Brunei. Received another $$$$ from my relative.

You know, its weird when parents warned us not to do something, we tend to do the opposite. For example:

Dad "Dont drive fast, no need to rush"
Me "Ok, I will"
Reality: I drove 140 km/hour (Later I was caught by my aunt and she told me to drive slow next time)

I am officially from yesterday onwards, are no longer a UBD student. I am in no way associated, linked, affiliated to this prestigious University in our country anymore. Thanks babe for your help, much appreciated.

I came across Daniel Radcliffe nude image (From top to bottom). I thought the whole nude pic was a joke, it turns out to be true. If you want the pic (Whoever wants it anyway) you can leave a msg on my tagboard.

Nis thank you for your Britney recommendation, I think this dude is cracking up big time

I want this for my birthday

Hoohhh

OOOO


AAAA



EEEE

Details:
  • 1.4 Million
  • 650 horsepower
  • 487 lb-ft of torque
  • 800 rpm redline
  • 0-100 Kph in 3.4 seconds

Only 20 of these babies are produced. All are sold to wealthy individuals mostly man. How I wish I am one of them.

Was browsing through friendster profile last night. Found lots of 'disturbing' images. Do I need to elaborate? I dont want to elaborate if you want me to.

I watched Britney MTV award performance. What happened to old Britney? She lip-sync, she wore those ugly revealing clothes with her tummy screaming to hide from public eyes, her dances lacked the 'WOW' factor (Cyrus you better teach her how to dance). She just wasnt into the performance. Even a kid could tell by the way she danced. The drugs must hit her hard. And the wig is super ugly. Just show your bold side lady. A disgrace to every sexy woman out there.

Happy Ramadan everyone.

See you Naqib

Naqib went to UK yesterday at 20.00. We'll be meeting soon. Remember to give me your

UK Phone Number
Address Where you live


Btw, My landlady emailed me yesterday. She gave me two options
Double bedroom
Single bedroom

I picked the double bedroom. In case I get myself a wife there (As nicely put by my parent). But another reason is because I want bigger room. Who doesnt? So listen up peeps, If you want to spend Xmas with me, I got an extra space in my bedroom. :)

Adeq and me will fly to UK together. So exciting. Things to do on Tuesday:
Finish Visa Application
'Berbuka' at RBC restaurant Airport
Not to cry during my departure

I received 'gifts' from my relatives which amount to $$$$. Not telling. More to come. There is a sense of guilt having receiving those money. Regardless, I will use this money wisely and this I promise you, I will return with a qualification that will make you guys proud. Should I buy

The new Ipod?
A printer?
Harry Potter book? (Yes, I havent read it)
Trading and generate more cash from that?


Whats up with LufBra and Msnian? What is so special about that place? Its just kampung. Sheesh.

I learned a new name of my father's side of the family. Ka Arin (Like your name Rin) She's in UBD. Oh, Ka Yoyo, Im happy for your pregnancy. Again something wrong there. Congrates for your pregnancy, that sounds better. :) A new nephew soon to come. But I'll be seeing him/her in the next few years...

My moment of Humiliation

video
This was taken by a good sister of mine, Katty.

I havent actually see the whole video. I was too embarrassed to continue watching knowing how silly I look back then during the autograph session. Let me clarify two things, I was there for my sister (maybe a little bit for myself) and I dont like that guy in stripe shirt.

Went to M.O.E, and confirmed my flight on the 18 September 2007. I'll be going to M.O.E again this Saturday to re-confirm and submit my medical paper.

Did my injection in the afternoon. It was painful!!!! Bwahhaha. Nah, just kidding. Oh, dont forget to bring your baby injection card for the rubella and other immune confirmation. The nurse was very friendly. :)

I havent prepare my stuffs yet. I'll do it tomorrow. Oh, tomorrow is Ramadhan. Wohoo!!! The day where one can start life a new. I think I write a post about this holy month.

Izan, I wish you the best of luck in nutrition. *Sob Sob* I'll be missing the responsibility given to me by your hubby. Bwahaha. Now need to find another rental babe. Who could it be?

Never listened...

Dont listened to anyone. Thats the lesson I learned today. A girl told me that British High Commissioner requires acceptance letter to complete the visa. I DONT HAVE IT!!! In panic, I email my University. And she told me that they had given me the 'Visa supporting' Letter in May. Coincidently, I was browsing through the Brunei British High Commissioner website and found out that the so called acceptance letter is actually

 An unconditional letter of acceptance from the university, college or school of your choice. The letter should confirm that you are going to follow a full-time course and provide details of the type of course, the qualification it will lead to and the duration of study. Applicants must ensure that the establishment at which they propose to study is registered on the Department for Education and Skills Register of Education and Training Providers. The register is available at The Register of Education and Training Providers website for prospective students who wish to check their institution is registered.

My worries are for nothing. But I still need to go to Yayasan tomorow to see which of the May letters are needed for my application.

Aston University student flight is due on 18.09.2007. Its on TUESDAY!!!! But my name was not on the flight!!! That is so silly. Reason for not on the flight "Your course starts in October" I mean, arent all Aston students start on the same date? Why are you giving them early flight? "Because they start on 23 September 2007. Its stated on their offer letter" Excuse me, what makes you think that is the start of the course, its just induction. "If Induction, you guys shouldn't be on the 18." Then suddenly, the Aston friends ditched me by saying "We took different course, that is why we start on the 23" How could you do this to me. In the end, he told me to get my Form Q and passed it to him so I could join the 18 flight. But again, when I tried to submit the form, he locked his door. Then my temper went up 100 degrees. I went to WYWY to cool off.

Met my soon to be housemate, Baby. She is so COOL!!! We clique. Her mom was there, and let me tell you this, her mom was amazing. Our family clique. I trust her now and forever. So excited that she is my house mate. :)

Then went back to M.O.E. The guy was not there. He was in UBD. How annoying. So I gave my form to another guy. I hope he passed that form to the guy. I'll be going to M.O.E at 8.00. I am not risking another misplace. I WANT THAT FLIGHT!!! You hear me. I WANT THAT FLIGHT!!!

Naqib is off tomorrow. *Sob Sob* See you during Xmas. Dont forget your email and UK phone number. U can come over to our house at No 4, (something) road, Aston, Birmingham. I post the whole details when you need em.

Tomorrow there is a Makan Selamat, so please come. Its 7 pm at PDS (I think that is the name of the restaurant), near Fitness Zone Qlap.

I Said...

For the first time in September, I swore on the road:

F**K You
Bayie kalie
Cibai

I dont know why I said those things. I was supposed to be 'postive, optimistic, uplifting' individual. Guess the emotions I held back for the past few days seek refuge in the outside world. Anyways, today is a rather interesting day:

I mingled with different group of People today. Tang wee, Ridhuan, Shah, Nini JJ and guy in pink (Sorry dude I didnt asked for your name)
I had a rather nice conversation with Max. He was more open today than the day I first met him. Which is good actually.
I should have asked their emails. Hopefully they go M.O.E tomorrow.
Why is that person doing this to me? Gosh, things needn't to turn out this way.
I ate Nasi Ayam, Kelupis Ayam and Karipap Ayam.
I do hope and pray Izan is allowed to join Aston.
Saifullah read the Quranic Verses. I miss listening to his recitation.
Waved to unknown people today. Are they my customers? Or people from the past that I hardly remember?
Dr. Hashim gives a Thumbs up to my University. Yei!!

Went to have my Visa photo this evening. I look rather...Im not saying it. Tomorrow I'm going for Vaccination and retrieving my english version of offer letter.

I learned that to keep a friend, you need to be proactive. Dont expect them to keep it for you, let you be the keeper of a friendship. Hmmm...something is not right about those statements.

This year we have the largest number of successful scholarship applicants.

I managed to make Pehin Abdul Rahman laughed. I was hoping to have a meaningful conversation with him. But was out of words. Mom met her old friends way back from her school time. Who have thought that my mom was one of the hottest girl in school. Proud to have her as my mom.

Tomorrow meeting Baby. I have confirmed that I am living in private accommodation with Baby and Izan (I pray you got it). It is my responsibility to look after Izan for Saifullah.

No more games for me. Its time to get serious. ZZZZZ.

A new definition to the world of Computing



I thought no one is this 'under developed'.

Owh, Kye sorry. I overslept. Really tired. Maybe this is a good opportunity for you to be with 'ehem'. Flowers/Fruits decoration is one of the many ways to strengthen your 'dying' bond. Hehe.

Good luck to all logic and thinking student for your tomorrow MCQ test. I hope you guys do all right.

I read Lee's blog about Mr.Two. You must say you like him. Guys need confirmation, leaving him like that will do you no good. Plus, who knows he likes you back. Lee and Two. Or Two and Mouse. Dua and Tikus, that didnt rhymes. 1 Tikus. No that didnt rhyme either. So hard. Hehe. Wish you all the best. I do hope Mr.Two is reading this. LEE LIKES YOU DUDE!!!

I read this from a book, when you want to know if someone likes you, look at his/her eyes. If the pupil dilates, chances are he/she like you. For this reason, it is best to go on a date somewhere dim so that you can see those pupils. Interesting, but to actually carry it out in real life need lots of practice. So we wont get caught. Bwahaha.

I take my leave now. Going for a shower. Bleaching soap is my beauty secret. Kidding. I wonder if there is such thing as Bleaching soap?

Worry over nothing

Did my medical appointment this afternoon. I am FIT!!! Wohoo!!!

Farhah, Max and Allen were there.

My appointment was supposed to be on the 19th September 2007. But since Aston starts on 17, I had to forward the appointment. I was hoping for Tuesday or Monday, but the nurses allowed me to join the afternoon session. Thank you. Thank you. You guys made my day and help me end my state of uncertainty. And not to forget, the Almighty God, Allah.

My accommodation should be available for booking this Monday.

Continue with my Visa application.

Found out 3 other individuals joining Aston. Allen, Yasmin and the son of Dr.Haji Serbini (I didnt remember his name) I hope we all get to go on the same flight.

I wonder what happen to Carbon? I hope his alright.

Need to fill in the contract agreement form. I'll do it tonight.

Finish one form. Doing the rest tomorrow. Very lazy.

More things that I will miss in UBD:

1. A girl called Ling Ling. How to describe her? Cant really describe her. Been meaning to talk to her but never have the courage (As always) But heck, there are more girls out there to be courted.

2. Adek for the fun of being around her. Still into Tiong?

3. Kye and her funny perception on life especially dating.

4. The 45 minutes Mee Goreng.

Tomorrow back to shop.

A short but worthwhile experience

I'll be leaving UBD soon.

No more Dr.Ali and his monologic

No more Dr. Mona and her Notes on Ilearning

No more Sharif and his Rock and Roll personality

No more Frankie and his presentation

No more Faisal or Faidal and his confirm uncertainty

No more Dr. Tan and his jokes

No more Suhaimi and his funny, exciting tutorial

No more Mr.French and his ever increasing interest in the Brunei Economic system

During my management tutorial, we were separated in groups of three. I joined with three boys, Alex, Tiong and Wei Sen. Throughout our discussion, I soon realized how friendly these guys are. They are willing to open up to me. They liked my Maths presentation the other day and I am happy they did.

I was emotional during Frankie's tutorial. I was at a verge of explosion when Mr.eyebrow suggested that I should change my 'perspective' to adapt in this modern world. Fortunately, Frankie cut us before all Hell break lose.

Thursday, I'll be joining English and Management for the last time.

Happy

I AM HAPPY!!!!! CAN YOU TELL? CAN YOU TELL? MY LORD!!!! MY SAVIOUR!!! THE OMNIPOTENCE ALLAH!!! THANK YOU!!! I LOVE THEE TILL EARTH CONSUME ME!!!




Summary of the day:

Logic: Boring

Management: Boring

Quantitative: Boring

State and Society: Boring




Extensions:

Logic: The monotonous presentation is a good sleep stimulant.

Management: The 'add-on' explanation is something anybody can come up with.

Quantitative: A non-participative class that kills the spirit of joyous communication.

State and Society: A 'student' going through a 'teacher' note and pretends to understand it, but actually doesnt.




Another great website for University ranking, http://extras.timesonline.co.uk




Aston No.15...hehe...the profile written is simply amazing. :)
