Lama dah ku nda blayar..hmm iski eh..hehe

The flights were ok. A few minor turbulences tapi alhamdulilah I’m fine. Ah! The 1st adventure was masa kan connect ke domestic flight BKK-CHX. Seperti crazy kami lusir2. Nda plg belusir. Lari anak. Something like that, not sure of the exact words. Yatah sampai kaki ku berblister. Uwaaaaaa. Skali udah sampai Chiang Mai it was a relieve. The flight attendant was a nice guy. Tau ia kami muslim. Hehe. After an hour rehat we went out to look for the night bazaar and we locate it immediately. And then I decided to go to the mall. And yes, kami naik tuk tuk. Suka ku. Aku suka. Ku suka. Sakai! Cute eh. Bising plg. And imagine kalau ujan, mati chia berbasahan. Mengenangkan aku pada kisah masa d Mandalay, Myanmar. Huhuhu. Kami naik 2 jenis tuk tuk. Small & medium. Large alum merasai. Haha. And on our way back to the hotel, we say baby elephant.Tapi basar jua masih. Cuteeeeeeeeeeee…

The Central Airport Mall is cool. Before sungkai, we went separate ways for our window shopping. Then sungkai di pizza hut. Nyaman seafood pizza nya! I like. And the cheese mussels too. Mengenangkan aku pada seseorang. After sungkai we resume our shopping, i think i won. Razi didn’t get as much stuff as I did. Haha. Woman and shopping. The dynamic duo. Later in the evening, I went to the Night Bazaar..alone. Shhhhh jgn gtau mama. Kena lasing ku krg. But seriously, that place is much safer than Petaling Street. Ganya beware of dogs lah, payah krg memikirkan cemana kan tayamum.

I had mama’s sambal udang & tahai goreng for sahur. With steamed rice of cos. When I looked at my food corner. Mcm, supply utk 2 minggu pun cukup. Haha. Overpacked. The next day was kinda tiring. We had our meeting from 9.00 am til 5.00 pm. Joined the welcoming dinner for a short while and went to Night Bazaar. This time I didn’t went alone. Yet. Razi left me doing my shopping alone at 9.30. Ah well, I didnt mind at all. As usual, my final stop before going back to the hotel is Starbucks. They always have free food or drink as promotion. But u must be there arnd 10.30~11.00. 2 nights ago I tried the green tea + blackcurrant latte. Superb! And last night I had the blueberry cheesecake. Lucky me!

Today is another day. Joint expert group meetings going on til thursday. Its a boring presentation at the moment. He just read the text word by word. Yet he received compliments from the meeting that his presentations were excellent. How come? Uh, and there’s this rep from ITU, a Japanese hunk, H.O.T. *sesungguhnya aku sedang berpuasa*. Awu ah, dmlm I had a late late lateeeeeeeeeee sahur. Oleh sebab keletihan, I woke up at 4.25! Batah2 ambil breakfast box d reception udah tia 4.30! Haha. I checked online bila imsak and an Indon guy told me, imsak is at 5am. Phewwwww. I had pastries, fruits, sandwiches, and mini popia for sahur tadi. Back to my story, yes, that Jap is a sight for sore eyes.

Tonight we’ll be attending a special dinner hosted by Minister of Tele (kali) at the Chinese restaurant. Hmm mudahan ada makanan yg dpt d makan. Mun nda alamatnya makan indomee lah lagi…atau bali makanan d mcD & burgerKing.

Eh Aki….I miss u dude! Banaaaa

People are well aware how important media is to our everyday life. That’s where information and news are spread. But kalau sudah salah informationnya, people will get a different impresssion jua tu. Bukannya kan membasar2 salah org but hello, more than half of Brunei’s populatio membaca your paper. Everyday. And I am one of them. Bari malu mun setiap hari ada “apologies” section. Banar plg people make mistake tapi ani, the same mistake everyday? Typo lah apa lah. Piiiiraaaaaaa!!!

The image above says it all. Those underlined are the mistakes found. Awal2 sudah salah. Apa niiii??? Jangan suka2 ati menambah2. Mun nda tau jalan cerita, ikut saja press release yg kena bagi. K.I.S.S = Keep It Simple Stupid? I am soooooo offended when I read the 3rd para of this article. That is so downgrading. Please lah. Baca the p.r again and again and again. Proofreader nya ani jua satu. Haihhhh.

Even the english nda lawa bah (bukan plg ku kan memuji english ku lawa, english kapal titanic jua masih niiii).

Lastly was the fact that ia suka2 saja buat AITI as “COMPANY”. Arghhhhh! Enough said.

When it comes to clarification napa ia buat catu, bukannya kan belambut becakap ah, mun kasar buleh. Aiiiiiiiiii apakan pikirnya org awam ani, mun nada kami yg membagi berita and membaca berita, MANA LAKU TU PAPER KAMU AH.

Think Big! Think Wise! And THINK TWICE!

Have I ever posted about Muar Chee before? I don’t remember. But anyhow, I suddenly have this cravings for Penang’s Muar Chee. I think sbb I met a Penang friend atu kali membuatkan aku terkenangkan the lovely Muar Chee.

He’s here for the RFID Seminar co-organised by AiTi, BEDB & John  Harith Computers which was held today at the Empire. Hmmph, malas kan blaaa blaaaa bllaaa about RFID. More info here. He’s one of the guest speakers from Pentamaster, Penang. Sbb I was so memajal last time masa d Penang, he finally agreed to bring the group to Gurney Drive where I had the best Laksa Penang, Penang Rojak, Char Kuay Teow, MUAR CHEE, Ikan Pari Bakar & the best Sugarcane drink. Ever. Thanks Kumar! And and and, being a typical Bruneian, mau lagi menapau MUAR CHEE tu balik ke hotel. Hahahaha.

Muar Chee is basically a simple snack food. Made of glutinous rice flour and tapioca flour and then disaluti ground peanuts, sugar and fried shallots. Di Gurney Drive, it’s eaten using toothpick. The CLEAN one of cos. Lastly, here’s a sneak peak of the Muar Chee (hahahahahah apakan)
