ARGH!!! and congrats!

ARGH! Why argh?

Well, imagine this. Footie of MAN UTD VS DYNAMO KIEV starts at 7.45pm, thus me and Mr. hz went to the pub early.

How early?

6.30pm early!

Because we want to know which side are they going to show the man utd match, and thus us picking the best seats.

Got the seats... and we wait... and wait... and what tha??? ARSENAL??? WHERE'S THE MAN UTD MATCH ON THE TELLY MATE???

APPARENTLY! The other telly got broken (COINCIDENTIALLY OF COURSE!) and they are only showing the arsenal match because of more supporters (BUT I WAS THERE EARLIER! and at that time there was no arsenal fans in sight!)

And with heavy heart (and hungry tummy) we went to Mr. Hz place to have some dinner.

Good news though...

MAN UTD WON 4-2!

WOHOOOO!

Thanks mr.zfdi for the news.
No thanks UEA pub >_>

Donations please...

On this holy month of Ramadan, its good to do good (more pahala). Thus when me, my lil and her friend were walking down the street of london, we were approached by this 3 old ladies, asking for donation for disable kids.

Since its Ramadan, and for the kids, I handed out all my small change and gave it to them....

Now this is the interesting part... they ASKED us to give donations 5 pounds each...

and I was like, whattt?? Donations is where you gave seangkat-angkat hati, aka as much as you are willing to donate. And they were like haggling us to give more...

Three of us look at each other, pondering upon this predicament, as they are surely NOT pure in asking donations. Like whoever ask for a minimum amount of donations??? At 5 pounds each, nevertheless...

With a heavy heart, my lil sis just gave 10 pounds as a donation from three of us (PLUS the coins of a few pounds and nickels that I gave earlier) and my lil sis just said "halal kan saja tia"

But this has changed my prespective of people asking for donations in london. I will now just walk on, ignoring them, and will only give when I see the collection box in sight, as I can just only drop in the coins.

Seriously, donations with a minimum amount??? The only thing good thing is that they gave us the above flowers...

*halal kan saja tia*

To charcoal bbq and grill

I just wanna say... GIVE US A KNIFE SPECIFICALLY FOR CUTTING MEAT! Seriously, other places have sharper knives, and its for their bread!

*ahhh*

Finally, I feel relieved, wanna say that since that day. Sorry no assorted pics :\

ps: can anyone update me did they still use the same BLUNT knife?

extra note: at that time, me and my family order the grilled meats... everyone else seems to order burgers and drinks only :\

Baiduri Woes

As an instant-loving bruneian, I instantly blog out my depression, frustration and even stressnation (I know I know, no such word exists, I am just stressed out now)

Went to Baiduri, Sengkurong, at 3.40 ish, to withdraw money (to pay this and that). Silly young (old-denial) me, I forgot to bring along my I.C (identification card). Since they closed at 4, I asked them to withdraw anyway, since the book is with me and I AM IN-PERSON at your place

... and my withdrawal is denied... because I do not have my I.C...

I ask how about if I produce my driving license (sign and sealed by the Brunei Goverment)...

... withdrawal denied...

how about... denied... instead... denied...denied... denied....

now this is silly, they got my signature, they got my face in their computer, they got my genuine baiduri finance saving accounts book... they got my I.C number, heck they even got my telephone number FOR CONFORMATION...

yet she apologetically told me I cannot withdraw (even with all the above mentioned stuffs) unless I have my I.C with me... and since it is closing time, the baiduri mall is available...

With heavy heart, I went out the bank, drive home to get my I.C, drive again to baiduri bank at supasave beribi, withdraw (finally) and went home at 5.10pm...

so I wasted my time from 3.40ish pm until 5.10pm just to withdraw m.y m.o.n.e.y. For your information, I got a scholarship interview tomorrow and those times wasted could be use to study my MIB, my terasul and my bahasa dalam...

sigh...

can I go on? Its about my past experience...

The first problem I indirectly encountered with baiduri is when I asked my lil sis to withdraw money for me (because I was buzy, and we needed the money A.S.A.P). She got my book and my IC and an hour later, she called me she couldn't withdraw because I have to be there IN PERSON. Without thinking much (since I was buzy at that time) and I just said "yeah yeah yeah" so went out, fetch my book+IC and withdraw my money.

The second time then occurs when I asked my dear lil sister again to withdraw again for me (because no parking was available and we were in a rush). I told her to tell them to CALL ME IF they want conformation...

sadly... after circling the mall for 3 times, my lil sis went back to the car... and told me it is denied...

... baiduri... IC and book with her, you got my contact number, I asked a simple call for conformation (because you got my FULL DETAILS IN YOUR COMPUTER)... and yet... THIS???????

I am sorry baiduri... you have lost a STAR from me.
