i had an awesome time at bbss bbq last wednesday.

last minute work wont result in an excellent outcome. i planned out my easter game plan for bbss bbq two days before, totally ignore it the night before because i was busy preparing popia for the bbq. then i did the final plan hours before the game started (with the help of ka yun, eena and jajan - which i just told them on the day about it). I was actually thought twice about doing it because i didnt think it would be as fun as what i did last year. but by the end of the day seeing everyone got so hyped about it and playing along, im so glad.

the weather was a bit gloomy, cloudy all day. at 7am, there were lightning and heavy thunderstorms but it stopped by midday. By afternoon, the bbq feast started. Chicken wings, prawns, sausages and chocolate fountain, we were all stuffed with foods and high in sugar.After the eating feast, it's time to announce the election result of new bbss committee 09/10. Congratulations to those who got voted, do your best for next semester. Then the party started with Limbo challenge. After few challengers, there's one who stood out - Abu the King of Limbo, the guy who chanted the limbo song by himself eheheeee.The Easter game started afterwards - i divided them into 3 groups of 6/7 people and 6 game stages. Each stage winner is given easter eggs and by the end of the game, whoever has the highest no of eggs wins.

- design a miniposter
- superlative game
- who am i charade
- balloon tag
- pentagon blind game
- write us a new song

i told them i had 7 games but i crossed out 1 game at the last minute due to time constraints. Each stage brought us laughter and craziness among the Bibers. Once again, I enjoyed being the game organizer watching their competitiveness and their own way to win the game. and i intentionally made them worked under pressure by limiting the time given. One group made it to the top when they won us all by their creative song and finally won the entire games. Congratulations Kicap song, definitely the best song ever! the videos are on my fb. thanks for the great time Bibers. I simply <3 Birmingham because of you guys and girls.

Last thursday, we went to alton towers and it was a great day out despite the rainy weather. I love going to theme park although im not a thrill seeker but i just love the idea of being in a themepark. Im weak-hearted when it comes to rides, tell me everything about how awesome it is but when i see it, it makes me wanna puke and have an instant heart attack. When we were there, i only got onto two rides and they're are for kids >.< the rest, i just watched them and went: O.M.G. I couldnt do it. lamah semangat :(

Here's the video compilation of all the rides my friends went onto,

Prague, Czech Republic is better than i had imagined. There's 12 of us, we took plane from Birmingham International Airport to Prague, personally i didnt enjoy my first plane ride with RyanAir - i had the roller coaster butterflies few minutes before the plane took off but i managed to shake it off after it stabilised at some point. Plane takes off moment always gives me the creep :s Alhamdulillah everything went on smoothly from the moment we depart till the day we went back home. From 29th March, our 3-nights stay at Prague experiences are very memorable indeed. The place, especially the town itself is very historically beautiful, everything, everywhere is very Kodak moment.

maybe its the holiday spirit, everything felt so care-free while i was in Prague despite the exhaustion from all the walks discovering the place. Upon arriving, i hadnt felt the holiday spirit yet and Prague was not that very appealing but as our taxi rides reached the city area, the excitement slowly sunk in. When we reached our apartment, we were speechless because it was too good to be true. For about less than 25pounds per person for 3 nights, we had the awesome apartment for ourselves equipped with simply everything: big kitchen, big toilet, big rooms, big living room, fully equipped kitchen, washing machine. The place is completely homey as if we were gonna stay for a long time. We rented three rooms: the guys stayed at the first floor, while the girls at the ground floor. So if you guys searching for the best place to stay in Prague, just search for emma apartment, gerenti inda nyasal.

It was raining when we arrive at Prague Airport, after we unpacked our stuffs we went out to get some foods. The Czech language was very hard to learn and the train and metro lines were complicated to read at first. Thanks to Vaclava (aka Malcolm - our apartment chaffeur) generous tips, we learnt how to use the metro lines wisely. It only cost us 18czk to buy the tram tickets and we only need to buy it once. Basically, the transport cost around Prague is free. The currency is a bit confusing at first with the exchange rate of 1pounds=28czk, but apparently the price of goods are quite cheap. When we first found Tesco, it was difficult to browse around because of the Czech price tag and label but it was way cheaper than in the UK.Our first night, as we went hunting for foods we were lost and failed to go anywhere. But we managed to learn that our apartment is blessed with nearby convenience shops and very close to metro lines stop. We finally went to Pizzeria place to buy pizzas for our dinner. First night in Prague, we learnt to read Prague maps and metrolines to plan our next day visit.First day: We covered almost everything within the old town area of Prague. From Charles Bridge to the Dancing House, everything looks so pretty and wonderful. I love the Easter Market they have at the Old Town Square, you can find everything you need about Prague there. And arah market ani ada one stall sells the best waffles ive ever taste, for 3 days i was in Prague, everyday i kept on coming to the same stall to get the waffles. We also managed to find Halal place to eat.Second day: We went to the other side of Prague crossing the bridge: Prague Castle. It's not as enjoyable as our first day, the Prague castle is undergoing some construction and the few visits around the area is not that rewarding. Making things worse, the funicular railway connecting to the top of the observation tower at Petrin Hill was closed till sometime in April. We were so looking forward to go to the tower to view the Prague skyline :( After our lunch, we planned to go to the Royal Garden but it was closed as well till spring time. To ease our disappointment, we went to the Old Town Square again to shop for souvenirs before we headed back to the apartment.Third day: since our plane back was at 4pm, we had to be at the Prague airport by 2pm. Waiting for 2pm, we took our last tram ride to the Charles Bridge and Old Town Square to spent our few remaining Koruna money buying last minute souvenirs and took a last glance at Prague Town. In just 2 days, Im already in love with Prague, its sad to say goodbye to a nice holiday.

the uno nights, the -ski words in every sentences, the pashmina craze, the waffles, the company, everything about Prague =)

easter holiday starts today! assignments abis, exams timetable menyusul :s

went to the city to meet up with Razan and Diyana to do last minute shop for our 4-day Prague trip, which will be tomorrow :) Went to money shop to buy Czech Republic korona but both shops ran out of korona currency (mesti durang ni yg ngabiskan, hahahaa :p) so last place is at M&S which has lower rate (1pound=27.5czk). After that, we continued to buy the food supplies. As we're leaving the Chinatown, me and Razan separated from Diyana and met Kimin when he insisted we went back to Day In shop because he has never been there. Our last thing in the buy list is to buy 100ml travel bottles (because of the airport liquid limit) but we were so cheapskate we didnt want to buy the one at the Boots shop. we searched at 99p shop, BodyCare and Poundland but to no avail. Last resort, Kimin bought something at Poundland and planned to throw out the content and refill it with shower gel. malas ku mention apa dibalinya :p hahaha tau tah kamu tu nanti. kes desperate tah sudah tu. Back in the train, me and Kimin stopped at university station while Razan took the next stop. Both of us went to the library to get book for Razan and do some printings (which btw is not free as Kimin suggested :p awu walaupun holiday, printing inda free bui~). As we walked home, we noticed the university area is pretty much deserted and quiet now that the holiday just started.

while we're at Day In, Kimin mentioned about the earth hour and as they share the same enthusiasm as me, we decided to do it together later. As for me personally, i genuinely support the cause and join in for the fun of it. I know by doing it, i dont change anything much but it's just for my self-satisfaction because aku paling pantang kalau org bazir karan, especially if they leave their lights on when they leave the room for hours. its just unacceptable. its financially restraint as well, but im just being me, i always been conscious with electricity use. you can say i have ocd about switching off any switch.

At 7pm, i headed to the dawls to hang out with Razan, Hanis and Kimin for the earth hour. Thanks Jajan for the foods <3 and thanks kamu~ i was having so much fun tadi :) At exactly 8.30pm, we switched off the lights, tv and the heater. We had candle light dinner, playing and posing with the glowsticks and one round of uno game. We were having so much fun we extended the 1hr to 2hrs. It was almost 11pm when we realised it's time to go home and none of us has pack our stuffs yet , and we need to wake up early tomorrow for our flight. Plus, the british summer time starts tomorrow which means our clock forward to one hour. one hour less of sleep :smore interesting pictures will be uploaded after i got back from my trip. and maybe the videos as well ;)

im so excited for Prague!gotta finish my packing. see you later peeps.

last two weekends: watching Yonex All England Badminton 2009 really fired up my desire to play badminton better and participate more. cheering up for my favourite players was fun, although most of my favourite lost. but watching world top badminton players competing against each other was awesome. what a rally, what an awesome smash and shots. 3 days of watching badminton match really worth the money, plus we had the chance to stalk the badminton players. I have new idols - Fu Haifeng and Anastasia Russkikh.Men's Singles Final: Lin Dan VS Lee Chong Wei
Men's Doubles Final: Cai Yun/Hu Haifeng VS Han Sang Hoon/Hwang Ji Mankami bubut ia dpn pintu exit hahahaa. with Tine Rasmu ssenWorld #1 and this year all england silver medalist (gold medalistnya lari takut kami stalking :s)

i was unwell the week after the event, but thinking that i have a badminton tourney on the next weekend, i was seriously hoping i wont get sick and affected my practice. but i did and the practices i had were disappointing.

last friday: we the bibers had maulud nabi gathering, the zikir was fun, the food were great and the company was awesome. its been a long time since all of us hang out together on a weekend night, its been a very busy months lately.

last saturday: we participated in Asian Games organized by malaysian society, birmingham university. In mixed doubles, me and Syful was in the same group with Mallie and Diyana so we were beaten by them. We didnt get through the semi finals as we lost our chance to another team from hong kong with the score 21-19.

brunei team <3it was a fun day despite my lost, watching the others competing with other societies while cheering for them was always an exciting time for me. big congratulations to my fellow bruneians, for gold in womens singles and dominating most of the mixed doubles (silver and bronze), unlucky for mens doubles - their competitors were simply too powerful. i have no news about mens singles yet as the final game was postponed to later date, but its either gold or silver (goodluck!).

im not fully recovered yet - my bad because im not taking any medicine T__T

Brumanch talentime was held last two weekends and it was quite disappointing missing out the show but i wouldnt give up my chance to watch the All England final as well. Congrats Kash for giving an awesome performance, i really wish i was there bahhh (but you know how frustrated i would be if im gonna miss Lin Dan winning his match, in which he did, hehehee). And Kash pemalas pasal inda mau upload videonya arah youtube :p but the one performance that captured most of us be it live or just by watching it on a video is this performance by Zaem and Arif.

Happy belated birthday to Eena! Wish you all the happiness and success <3 this song is for you, from me and the boys. lols

11 days to Praha :) 

MadPaintball is over :( i want moreeeeeeee. This year, once again our Birmingham teams face each other but this time, to win a third place. The Brum Supremacy vs The Brum Ultimatum. An improvement to previous years, this year both Brum teams had done well by getting 2nd place in each of their division. and because of that, we met each other in our final game to win a third trophy.

Our last game took place at a killing field, once the game started both teams ran to their cover but Ultimatum took the lead by getting the flag first. Unfortunately, both left players of the Ultimatum had a faulty gun and constantly asking for a guncheck. Due to that fact, the Supremacy took the advantage to move forward and wiped out the entire left flank of the Ultimatum thus leaving most of the area unshielded. The Supremacy's one by one eliminated most of the Ultimatum's but after eliminated the Ultimatum's snake, they had no idea where the flag was hidden! just before the game was over, they finally managed to find it which led them to victory. So The Brum Supremacy won. Congrats you guys!

but i need to say something here: it a was technical error!!!!! im still frustrated by the fact that my tippman was faulty during the last game ( it was an important game lagi tuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu). by the time i kept on adjusting the error, the enemies kept on marching forward. sasak ku!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*exhales*

no hard feelings. you know we love the trash talking :p

its that time of the year~ In conjunction with Brunei National Day, MadPaintball tournament is back~

i cant wait for paintball this saturday :) this is gonna be my 4th year playing this awesome game --- its the excitement. its the adrenaline. its the victory. mwahahaahaahahaa :p

walking down the memory lane....

MadPaintball 2k6 - my first time playing paintball. first time at sup air field. My team: Kent ChipmunksMadPaintball 2k7: my first time playing paintball at forest field. This time, with our very own Birmingham team: The BiBers.MadPaintball 2k8: my 3rd paintball tournament. For the first time, Birmingham sent two teams: The Brumingham and MD All Stars. The most memorable ever because in one of the game, i was the last man standing (i swear it was the slowest 3 mins of my life. it was in slow motion when my heart beats so fast while searching for the flag in fear of the time limit and disappointed my team). but i did found the flag, ran it to the enemy's base and won the match. its unbelievable~ hehee. and yeah of course the awesome Birmingham derby. one of our match: Brumingham vs BruStu. I volunteered to take the video (actually, i dont want to participate in a match against my brustuers league. hehehee). Syful won the match by getting the flag and ran it to the enemy's base.

NisaZ,
The Brum Ultimatum.

im quoting Nyls. thats the name of our band -- me, nyls and abu. hard mode only. ceh. brigali hahahaaa.

maritah becerita.

after badminton, footie and few rounds of rock band me and nyls went to the city with hanis to meet up with abu and kimin. 3pm and it was sleeting. although we are aware of the fact that the city is dead after 5pm on sunday we went out anyway. melayan boring. after a few shop hopping we decided to eat out tapi all the shops were starting to close which was ruining our mood. even c kimin mengusut (which was really rare, hahahaaa he was quiet except asking for food) kan chillax di starbucks tutup. kan makan di yum yum tutup awal tia jua. last last we went to subway. it was snowing and kash with frens have already joined us by then. ksian durang menarik beg ikut kami food hunting. then after about 25mins kami hang out di subway, kan tutup tia jua. so we had nowhere else to go lagi other than going home. its sad wah -- we're going to the city to buang boring kan chill di cafe but we ended up going home feeling more dull. back home, we continued our rock band round. radh and hanis came to try hysteria on expert.

bored wah kami, inda puas window shopping kali. hahahaa. one time i stop singing and blurted, "kan makan maggi ku eh". i ended up cooking magi kari plus talur for four (me, nyls, radh and abu). best yo makan magi kari panas2 masa winter ani. i kept on asking abu about the time and everytime he replied it seems like the time is going on a slow motion. by 11pm, everyone abis bateri udah. its not a lazy sunday but definitely a slow one. another weekend's over.

last night i watched Underworld: Rise of the Lycans with few Bibers. i loooooooooove it. i knew the third movie gonna be good because the first two movies are. something is bugging me as soon as the movie ends -- i was thinking really hard to connect the three stories together and i did make mistakes telling others about the previous movies -- my bad. all in all, good movie excites me :)

i have overdue pictures i wanted to post in my blog:

taken from uncle rajul photoBiB Intra-Society Women's Double: me and Fadz won bronze medal (easy mcm kacang~. for obvious reason. lols)one of my latest additionwhat else is happening since my last post? the snow is still here.my badminton coach tukar udah. this time, better than the previous one. he used to play with england team before and i like the way he teaches. im hoping i'll get better (it seems like i dont :s). on a different day, my step class mcm makin confusing with all the steps yg bepusing2 bagi paning but it's all good. last week, i was all sweaty i took a risk to have a quick shower at the sports centre (open yo. nasib kosong nada org masatu. hahahaaa) . talking about sports, i miss playing netball.

our groceries got delivered today. aint it wonderful... straight to our door :)  although i dont think my juices gonna last longer than a week (and i bought 4 cartoons!)

its a busy days ahead. have a good week people.

first of all, a big thanks to my secret santa --- Hazimah Hanis for giving me the most unexpected gift (i didnt meant it banar2 wah when i put it in my wishlist). THANK YOU HANIS!!!!!!!!! apa rasanya liat my reaction? :p and that lava lamp is so beautiful, i always wanted one i almost bought it for myself but luckily i didnt. it was on my shopping list pulang udah tu, thats why i didnt put it in my wishlist. but you're a smart girl ahhhh...hehehee. thanks!!! <3

 when i unwrapped the present i saw this then i saw an envelope on the boxinside the cardbut then, i saw a paper folded onto it, im guessing maybe it's a note but no it's not. the moment i read it, my heart beat so fast and my hands were shaking .... for like 10-15mins after that. O.M.G. :') at this point i was reducing to tears..(above pic courtesy of taufik) the girl who gave me Jason Mraz ticket :))))))the pretty lava lamp

Friends <333 to Azrul, i hope you like the giftsBiBers Secret Santa is the best! more pics on facebook. later.

Happy Christmas everyone :)

Zombie night:
it was on wednesday. i went to the city to buy ticket for Yonex All-England tournament then met up with Jimbo for dinner. After sending him to the train station, i went home knowing that i had a date for video making that night. Little that i know that we'll be making a zombie video. Kudos to the dawls, they came up with the idea. So the dawls came over to our house and the make over session begins.

(photos credits to hanis)

after that, the dawls teached me how to do the thriller dance. it was fun, i always want to do a thriller dance xD. Basically, we were playing zombies and danced to a medley of Thriller, Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, Soulja Boy, Touch My Body. Shooting location: outside our house at 11pm. I wont dare to do this stuffs in Brunei. hahaha. even we scared ourselves while on the making.

anyway, back to the video. It was meant to be a surprise gift to her so i didnt blog about it till now. She got her surprised last fri night ;)

Happy Birthday <3333

Simple Plan night:
on friday night, me and Naili waited at the long queue for about an hour before the Carling Academy gate opened. Opening act done by The Mission District and Saving Amy. After a long wait, Simple Plan appeared with their kick-ass performance. I was annoyed by the crazy mosh-pit group but towards the end i enjoyed myself, i think it was after they sang my favourite song, Save Me, i regained back my excitement. I wish im few inches taller, inda jua ku jarih kana himpit :(the song - save me. obviously that was me on the 0.03 part of the video. excited ku, kan nangis nganya inda.

and it gets better :D the song - welcome to my life

during the last bit of the concert when they went to the backstage, few mins after, Pierre (the vocalist) came out of nowhere (where me and naili stood at) so imagined the surprise we had when he show himself behind us and sang Untitled. O.M.G. i thought i did take the video but now i couldnt find the file. inda te-save kali :( thats how close he was :) see see ada org tarik tie nya. Aku ampit tarik his finger saja. hahahaa crazy.

after that, he ran back to the stage and sang - Perfect. i didnt record it till the end cos the memory was getting low.

i was using Naili's camera because my camera looks pro so i can't bring it to any gigs like this. The concert ended at 10pm. Then we headed straight to 688 place ready for Ka yun's big surprise.

Saturday as per usual filled with 2hrs of badminton. I made a record of serving more than 10 serve consecutively against Yani & Razan. yay me! sampai Shuhir pun menyamal ia inda dpt points. hahaha. i love my badminton partner <3 After badminton, we spent time to watch the Bibers team played footy against HongKong society.
Today, i attended the Indonesian food fair at the university, not badlah the foods.

 Nasi Padang Indonesian style. padas~they also showed an indonesian film - we have no idea what the story is

My favourite capture of the day,sampai hajatnya naik statue ah. hahahaa.

Have a great week ahead.
