40 things that only happens in movies - part 3

21. Cars will explode instantly when struck by a single bullet.
22. No matter how savagely a spaceship is attacked, its internal gravity system is never damaged.
23. If being chased through a city you can usually take cover in a passing St Patrick’s Day parade - at any time of the year.
24. The ventilation system of any building is the perfect hiding place. Nobody will ever think of looking for you in there and you can travel to any other part of the building undetected.
25. You will survive any battle in any war UNLESS you show someone a picture of your sweetheart back home.
26. Prostitutes always look like Julia Roberts or Jamie Lee Curtis. They have expensive clothes and nice apartments but no pimps. They are friendly with the shopkeepers in their neighbourhood who don’t mind at all what the girl does for a living.
27. A single match is usually sufficient to light up a room the size of a football stadium.
28. It is not necessary to say “Hello” or “Goodbye” when beginning a telephone conversation. A disconnected call can always be restored by frantically beating the cradle and saying “Hello? Hello?” repeatedly.
29. One man shooting at 20 men has a better chance of killing them all than 20 men firing at once (this is known as Stallone’s Law).
30. When you turn out the light to go to bed, everything in you room will still be visible, just slightly bluish.

11. Any police officer about to retire from the force will more often than not die on their last day (especially if their family have planned a party). (Caveat: Detectives can only solve a case after they have been suspended from duty).
12. Getaway cars never start first go. But all cop cars do. (They will also slide to a dramatic stop in the midst of a crime scene).
13. If staying in a haunted house, women should investigate any strange noises wearing their most revealing underwear.
14. On a police stake-out, the action will only ever take place when food is being consumed and scalding hot coffees are perched precariously on the dashboard…
15. All grocery shopping involves the purchase of French loaves which will be placed in open brown paper bags (Caveat: when said bags break, only fruit will spill out).
16. Cars never need fuel (unless they’re involved in a pursuit).
17. If you are heavily outnumbered in a fight involving martial arts, your opponents will wait patiently to attack you one by one by dancing around you in a threatening manner until you have defeated their predecessor.
18. If a microphone is turned on it will immediately feedback.
19. Guns are like disposable razors. If you run out of bullets, just throw the gun away. you will always find another one.
20. All single women have a cat.

40 things that only happens in movies - part 1

I found this somewhere. You think it is true or not?

ever noticed some things only happen in the movies, but you never see in real life? well here they are:

1. It is always possible to find a parking spot directly outside or opposite the

building you are visiting.
2. When paying for a taxi, don’t look at your wallet as you take out a note. Just grab one out at random and hand it over. It will always be the exact fare.
3. Television news bulletins usually contain a story that affects you personally at the precise moment it’s aired.
4. Creepy music (or satanic chanting) coming from a graveyard should always be closely investigated.
5. Any lock can be picked with a credit card or paperclip in seconds. UNLESS it’s the door to a burning building with a child inside.
6. If you decide to start dancing in the street, everyone you bump into will know all the steps.
7. All bombs are fitted with electronic timing devices with large red digital displays so you know exactly when they are going to explode.
8. Should you wish to pass yourself off as a German officer, it will not be necessary to learn to speak German. Simply speaking English with a German accent will do. Similarly, when they are alone, all German soldiers prefer to speak English to each other.
9. Once applied, lipstick will never rub off. Even while scuba diving.
10. The Eiffel Tower can be seen from any window of any building in Paris.

Anti-climax arrival

Yup, you heard me right.

Told my family I will arrive at 8.45 am on the 7th of September.

It turns out the flight came way~~~~ earlier than expected... 8.07 am!

When I peered outside, obviously no one was around.

*sigh* I just wished the flight came on-schedule as I am expecting a reunion of EPIC proportions from the family and relatives XD

Still! When I came out of the arrival hall (pick up bags, taking my time), my family was there, and much hugging ensued =D

Oh Brunei! I am BACK!

Final thoughts before departing to brunei.

I am going to miss UK. I am anticipating with glee for Brunei

I am going to miss the cool UK weather and now worrying about the hot/rainy days of Brunei.

Gonna miss the diverse selection of UK food, yet I am now craving for Mama's cooking and what Brunei has to offer.

UK's shopping is full of bargains and varieties, especially my size, whereas Brunei has less and some pirated, but were cheap to buy. Not really into Brands, but sometimes quality is better than quantity, and UK got 'em, Brunei ain't.

Really really going to miss is the high-speed, stable internet, except my advice for future students/workers to avoid the wireless MOBILE internet as offered by vodaphone as such. Not really worth the money(expensive and has limits), speed and stability (wireless tend to easily disconnected). I was lucky the university provided it inclusive with my accommodation, thus no need for applying the mentioned mobile internet services.

Brunei has family and friends, and can't wait to be reunited with them.

However, one thing dawned on me about going back to Brunei this Sunday (on arrival) it is going to be a bitter sweet arrival.

Sweet because I truly miss my family and friends, for 1 year not meeting them, thus much hugs will be happening at the airport (tears perhaps?). Bitter because I was just being told that Grandpa Kong has passed away and his funeral will be the same day as my arrival, thus gonna miss it. Condolences to the family and am truly regrettably unable to attend.

Going back to topic, UK will be missed. Lots of memories gained, dramas unfolded, wonderful experience, friends gained and appreciation earned. Truly going to miss UK.

Nevertheless, it is not all that bad news. I already have two plans to come back to UK to attend my little sister's graduation and my graduation. However, I will come back as a tourist, no more a student.

Those were all my random thoughts right now, random but true. On Sunday Brunei morning, my UK journey will end, and I will be glad to be back...

...back as a proud Bruneian, who has endure a lot in his one-year UK journey.

RW interviews Masta DBC

RW: My good man, what did you do today?

Masta: Nothing much, just shopping around while fasting in this holy month.

RW: Anything interesting other than that?

Masta: Nope, although i have to point out that sahur ends before 4.1o am and breaking of fast at 7.45pm... My stomach was playing orchestra the whole day!

RW: Did you faced any difficulties when you were fasting?

Masta: Oh yes, lots. Have to divert my eyes a lot from looking at the ladies here and people eating in front of me. Kurang pahala tau!

RW: I see I see. Well then, let us take pictures!

Masta: lets!

pic: me and robin williams in madame tussauds ^^

counting the days...

Finished my dissertation, spend the last few days relaxing and shopping for family, and packing all my stuffs.

Why? Coz my UK experience is nearly ending! =D (7th arriving in Brunei)

Sad news, didn't managed to visit all the places as intended (like another round to Man U, the other museums) as I have to prioritize my work and stuffs first.

But then again, I will revisit England again for both my graduation and Monnie. I will go to these places except Man Utd, because the train ticket going there is expensive (Don't want to use Bus, too long of a journey).

After this, trying and trying my best to be active again in blogging. Got sidetracked a lot *sigh*

Anyways, I'm off!


Pic of Simon and Me... looks real eh? =D
