Better than Nothing..

Salam..

I know its been so long that i didnt update this sweet bloggie of mine.. I was so very busy with things.. Never thought that, it takes me months to update my own bloggie.. Shhhh..

Many things happened since the last time i updated this blog.. Jumped from one job to the other and am glad that the new job suits me very well.. Really hope that this wont turns me into an old guy..

Many people asked me, for the reason why i quit to work with the BSP for the new job.. Hmmm.. I cant really answer that simple question.. May be.. Just May be, i myself wasnt sure of the reason(s) my self..

I still remember, got the offer few days before this year's Ramadhan ended.. I know that i really wanted to take the new job.. But, back then before i accept the offer, i did ask my best friends on their opinion whether to leave BSP or not.. The responses that i've received from them were 50-50.. Some discouraged me and the other some told me that i should give the new job a try.. Was really confused that time.. And i hate being confused..

It took me nights to come with my conclusion, to give up BSP for the new job.. Then mid October 2009, i made up my mind to attend the medical check-up and later accepted the offer.. This is a big decision that i've had to make..

Financial-wise, i must say that i can only get what i've earned from BSP, after years of working.. BSP offers was way better.. But, career-wise i think am making the right decision.. The new job offers more perks.. Chewah~

Whatsoever it is am up to the challenges.. Bring it on!!

Nuryn's Car Crashed..

Hey ya, its been so long that i didnt update this lil bloggie of mine.. thing for sure, am missing all these.. owh, tomorrow will definitely the first day of Ramadhan for us here in Brunei.. am kinda glad that the moon wasnt cited yesterday, as my housemates and i were organizing a warmhouse BBQ party.. It was a huge success, for a newbies and last minute planned event.. ehehehe..

Earlier this week, Nurin got herself involved in an accident at the Lumut U-turn Highway.. it happened so early in the morning, on her way down to our workplace.. it was a self-accident actually.. the car was crashed.. it could have been worst, luckily Nurin was wearing the safety-belt.. yeah it safe life.. hahahaha..

There were the three of us (the housemates) to support her.. we went to the police station and then out for a short breakfast at KK.Koya.. I was given a day off that day, to accompany Nuryn at home..

Waaaaalllllaaaaa~

My 1st Article for The Brunei Times..

Hey my dear blog-readers.. Urm, am so not active in producing any good materials this lately.. Truly speaking, my life is getting very challenging.. So i really need to prioritize things in life..

I wasn't supposed to work in the weekend.. But last week, i was assigned to this one event.. Assigned to represent The Brunei Times, to cover the event..

Initially, i was quite reluctant to agree but knowing that the event that i need to cover is the 'Concerts @ The Playground" at Jerudong Park Mini-Amphitheatre, i immediately accepted the assignment..

Am a big fan of ZulF.. I just couldn't afford to miss this opportunity to go and see him.. Well, its not the first time tho.. Hahaha.. Below is my drafted version of the article..

Bandar Seri Begawan,
Written By: Faisal Haji Salleh
Pictures By: Faisal Haji Salleh

In line with the rebranding of The Jerudong Park Playground as a family oriented theme park, The Jerudong Park Country Club organised a ‘School Holiday Family Entertainment’ entitled ‘Concerts @ The Playground’.

About 100 people attended the concert which was held at The Jerudong Park Mini-Amphitheatre, in conjunction with the first term school holidays. With the objective to strengthen the family bonds and friendship, the concert at the same time give opportunity for local artistes to expose themselves to the general public.

The concert began with the performance by our local band, Atmosphere Band. Their performance was interesting and the showmanship was immense.

ZulF then entered the stage to loud cheers and started with a melodious medley of his popular love songs from Chantik, Dari Mata and Kau Adalah Cinta. He also sang Terima Kasih Cinta, a song originally sang by the Indonesian singer, Afgan. ZulF has a great stage presence and charisma in his singing.

This followed by the appearance of the beautiful singer, Maria. She sang two songs, Waktu and Jangan Ada Segi Tiga. Her performance was effortlessly superb.

RTB Most Popular Singers, ZulF and Maria singing "Hanya Memuji".

The main highlight of the concert was the outstanding duet performance by both ZulF and Maria, singing a famous local hits entitled ’24 Hours’.

The concert lasted for almost 2 hours. Present to watch the concert was the General Manager of The Jerudong Park and Country Club, Russell Finney.

Thanks for the great show!!

Weight Management~

Today, at the office we've actually have some sort of gloomy day.. The room was dark.. Everyone felt so lazy but busy chit-chatting.. We talked about so many things.. From 'something' to ''nothing'..

Then there is this one colleague of mine, she was saying that she've gained some carbs this lately.. Gosh!! She doesn't look like she is gaining those carbs actually.. May be, its just her woman side of life.. Woman with insecurities about their looks.. Hahahaha..

Guess what??

She google it out on how to lose some weight.. Then she emailed those article to us, and that includes me.. Gosh!!

Lose Weight in 5 Days

1. Eat a big breakfast

I prefer you'd eat eggs, but if not, just eat a big breakfast anyway. Researchers have proven that those who eat a big breakfast and follow it up with smaller meals for the rest of the day lose a lot more weight than people who either skip breakfast or eat a light breakfast.

2. Eat an apples before your meals and a banana after your meals

This allows you to eat your comfort foods so you don't feel deprived. However, the apples and bananas crowd out how much of the foods you eat. You'll eat less.

This is an easy way to diet since you can still eat the foods you're use to. You don't even have to try eating less of them. The apples and bananas will do that for you.

3. Do deep breathing for 5 minutes a day

It's been shown that deep breathing helps with weight loss due to the added oxygen intake from taking bigger breaths. Why? Well, because oxygen is the enemy to body fat. The more oxygen you get into your body, the more fat gets burned off through oxidation.

Anyway, above this is the article.. U people can try it, and if it works then please do let me know.. Thanks!!

Be it the first choice of mine, the Brunei Shell Petroleum or the two that i dont really fancy of the Brunei Shell Marketing and the Brunei LNG.. Hahahaha.. I wanna embark myself on a well paid job..

Well, i strongly believe that, "when u work extra, play extra and of course eat extra".. Hahahaha..

Overall, he was delighted with our performance.. At least, it impressed him too.. Ehehehe.. The not so good about the review session was the fact that some of his commentary review was a lil bit one sided.. Who's to be blame?

I must say that it was a boring class.. Schiz, was immediately fall doze off.. Ehehehe.. Then the class ended almost 4pm.. Further chit-chat with the babes at the parking lot till the time that Schiz and Qmah need to make their move to the Berakas Forest Reserve.. Am not joining me coz was heading to different direction..

Got lectures and some tutorials.. It wasnt a bad day.. The new lecturer is so boring.. I kinda dont like him.. But yeah who cares.. I keep on exchanging text message with the sender.. Owh, i better rename the sender.. From now on i'll refer the sender as 'si msg'..

Nowadays, everyone is becoming very business minded.. So is Myza.. She is doing her manik-ing part-time business.. She've been doing this business on as per request basis.. Her work is of a good quality too.. Well done.. She charge the baju at a very moderate price.. Please have a try..

Then right before the lunch time, I joined Myza, Hanna and Qmah out.. Myza wanted to buy more manik.. I didnt follow her at the shop.. I waited for them in the car only.. Ehehehe..

Then we went straight to Soto Rindu at The Giant.. Schiz and Moncel waited for us there.. There were lot of people.. Ofcourse, it was kinda full of the new intakes of UBD and ITB.. Whahaha.. The so-called junior.. Sometimes i found them a lil bit annoying though.. :P

Myza and Hanna..

Me and Qmah..

Oh back to our lunching session, I didnt order any food again.. I dont feel like eating.. I ordered the Horlick.. Yummy!! Am loving it.. "Horlick kaw satu!!"

So yeah my class ended around 6pm.. Its a 2 hours tutoring lesson btw..

In actual fact, that particular time i wasnt feel good.. Got this fever-ish feeling.. Then, i went straight to my home.. My mum called me to join them having the dinner together yet i refused to join.. Again, i dont feel like eating..

In the night, around 11pm i went to the RIPAS Hospital and yes i got the fever.. Requested for an MC from the doctor too.. Just in case i wasnt feel good that Monday Morning..

So on Monday, i didnt turn up for my lecture.. I shouldnt do it.. That unit is very hard.. I shouldnt skip the lecture.. But yeah.. I'll try to do the catching.. I promise..

Tadi Hanna, Dieja dan saya telah bersepakat untuk mencuba sebuah restoran yang baru sahaja dibuka awal bulan ini.. Sebenarnya, sudah lama saya berkeinginan untuk merasakan sendiri sajian yang ditawarkan oleh restoran tersebut..

Banyak juga cerita-cerita mengenai restoran tersebut dan kesemuanya menyatakan bahawa restoran tersebut menawarkan sajian nasi lemak yang amat menyelerakan.. Apabila melihat perubahan yang telah dilakukan oleh pemilik restoran tersebut, saya berpendapat bahawa ia merupakan sebuah tempat yang nampak berbaloi untuk dicuba.. Kecenderungan untuk mencuba restoran tersebut juga disebabkan ingin memberikan sokongan kepada pemilik blog yang sering saya kunjungi iaitu pasangan Ramzi dan Naima.. "beh, ambilkan tu"..

Bahkan teman blog saya, Marriz juga sudah sering kali menyarankan saya untuk mencuba sendiri keenakkan nasi lemak di restoran tersebut..

Baiklah, kira-kira jam 8.15 malam kami memulakan langkah pertama ke restoran tersebut.. Langkah demi langkah diteruskan dan pencarian tersebut tidak mengambil masa yang lama.. Ehehehe (saja kn buat suspen)..

Semasa melabuhkan punggung ke kerusi yang disediakan, segera kehadiran kami disambut oleh Ramzi.. Menu hidangan yang disediakan menarik perhatian kami.. Merujuk pada menu hidangan tersebut memang benar seperti yang telah diperkatakan ramai bahawa restoran ini menyajikan hidangan pada kadar yang pada saya, amat berpatutan..


Walaupun restoran ini menawarkan menu yang agak terhad, tetapi di dalam keterhadan tersebut bolehlah dikatakan bahawa pemilik restoran tesebut amat mengutamakan kepuasan para pelanggan adalah terjamin..

Sebagai percubaan kami memilih untuk mencuba Nasi Lemak Special dan Ikan Bakar yang mereka tawarkan..

Ulasan bagi Nasi Lemak Special:


Susun atur nasi lemak tersebut agak menarik di atas piring hijau yang tidak kurang menariknya..

Rasa? Dari aspek rasa, saya mempunyai pendapat tersendiri dan saya akui bahawa pendapat saya ini pun agak berbelah bahagi..

Nasi lemaknya sungguh enak.. Ia terasa tidak terlalu lemak.. Baik bagi mereka yang mementingkan kesihatan mereka..

Ayam goreng yang lazat dengan potongan yang sederhana.. Amat berbaloi dengan harga yang dikenakan kepada para pelangan..

Akan tetapi saya agak kurang mengemari daging yang disediakan.. Ia agak terlalu berempah.. "its too spicy".. Mungkin sesuatu boleh dilakukan oleh pemilik restoran tersebut bagi aspek ini..

Ulasan bagi Ikan bakar:
Ikan bakar tersebut datang di dalam foil.. Saya tidak perlu mengulas lebih panjang mengenai ikan bakar kerana saya pasti ia dapat diungkapkan dengan satu perkataan iaitu: "NYAMAN!!"


Secara keseluruhannya bolehlah saya katakan pengalaman makan di restoran tersebut merupakan satu pengalaman yang baik.. Mengapa? Hanya di restoran ini anda dapat menikmati makanan sedap pada kadar yang amat murah.. Sungguh berbaloi!!

Besar kemungkinan saya akan berkunjung lagi ke restoran tersebut dalam masa yang terdekat ini..

Apakah restoran tersebut?

Ulasan: Brunei Times..

Merujuk pada Brunei Times keluaran hari Sabtu..

1. Be on best behaviour at all times, teachers urged..


Teachers should not appear "two-faced" and maintain good behaviour during and after school hours, said Ak Haddy Soffian Pg Amran, a teacher from Raja Isteri Pengiran Anak Damit All Girls Secondary Arabic School (SUAMP RIPAD), yesterday..

Sangat setuju.. Kini, tugasan sebagai guru ugama hanyalah profession semata-mata.. Majoriti guru ugama sendiri tidak mempraktikkan ilmu yang telah mereka pelajari..

Sering kali kelihatan guru ugama yang bagaikan mempunyai dua personaliti berbeza.. Personaliti ketika bekerja dan di luar waktu bekerja adalah berbeza.. Inilah yang harus ditakuti ramai..

2. Food money for smokers who quit..

Smokers in deprived parts of one of Scotland's biggest cities are being offered food vouchers worth £50 ($143) a month if they give up smoking, the National Health Service said yesterday. A similar scheme arranged for pregnant women in the area last year was a success, he added..

Satu inisiatif yang baik dilakukan oleh kerajaan Scotland demi mengurangkan jumlah perokok di negara tersebut.. Akan tetapi, tindakan ini juga menyebabkan penggunaan wang rakyat dan rezaf negara.. Seharusnya ia digunakan bagi sesuatu yang lebih berfaedah lagi produktif..

Semoga kerajaan negara kita tidak perlu mengunakan kaedah yang sama dalam mengurangkan kadar perokok di negara ini.. Selaku masyarakat, inisiatif untuk berhenti merokok seharusnya dilakukan secara individu.. Jangan biarkan negara menangung kesulitan daripada apa jua tindakan awda..

3. 53 students get entrepreneurship certificates

The entrepreneurship attachment programme is aimed at making sure that students learn and experience the world of enterprise at an early age to better prepare them for the future, when they would no longer be under the school's supervision..

Suatu langkah bijak untuk menyemai semangat keusahawanan di dalam diri pelajar.. Di harapkan program ini akan terus diadakan dan dapat menukar persepsi para pelajar, yang secara majoritinya ingin memiliki kehidupan yang selesa dengan bekerja dengan pihak kerajaan semata-mata..

Berniagalah kerana ia dapat membantu negara dalam mengurangkan kadar penganguran di negara ini.. Sekaligus secara tidak langsung, awda juga menyumbang kepada pendapatan negara.. Tahniah!!

Lucky - Jason Mraz..

Jason Mraz featuring Colbie Caillat..

Do you hear me,
I'm talking to you
Across the water across the deep blue ocean
Under the open sky, oh my, baby I'm trying
Boy I hear you in my dreams
I feel your whisper across the sea
I keep you with me in my heart
You make it easier when life gets hard..

I'm lucky I'm in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again
Ooohh ooooh oooh oooh ooh ooh ooh ooh..

They don't know how long it takes
Waiting for a love like this
Every time we say goodbye
I wish we had one more kiss
I'll wait for you I promise you, I will..

I'm lucky I'm in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again
Lucky we're in love every way
Lucky to have stayed where we have stayed
Lucky to be coming home someday..

And so I'm sailing through the sea
To an island where we'll meet
You'll hear the music fill the air
I'll put a flower in your hair
though the breezes through trees
Move so pretty you're all I see
As the world keeps spinning round
You hold me right here right now..

I'm lucky I'm in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again
I'm lucky we're in love every way
Lucky to have stayed where we have stayed
Lucky to be coming home someday..

Ooohh ooooh oooh oooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooooh ooooh oooh oooh ooh ooh ooh ooh..

This morning, i had an informal meeting session with Hanna.. We were preparing the personnel plan for our business proposal.. While preparing everything we played this song and for no obvious reason, both of us sang along to the song together..

I simply love the song.. It is so sweetly-romantic.. Ehehehe.. Sure thing, the part that i love most is the chorus:

I'm lucky I'm in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again
I'm lucky we're in love every way
Lucky to have stayed where we have stayed
Lucky to be coming home someday..


Hanna, thanks babe.. Every single of my day, u never fail to make me happy.. Love you galfie..
