B Box...

shout out post

For my birthday this year, i got this box

from J'Z.

this is a handmade one of a kind sunnies box created by J'Z. yup! to store my sunnies, as i was hinting to a few previously i wanted a sunnies display shelf.

well...months later, J'Z made me another sunny box.

see see see...now i got reasons to buy more sunnies. all good!

and ooo...J'z is making & selling them, so if anyone of u need one for yourself or birthday gifts: any kind of storage boxes- for cards, for condoms, for vibrators, for credit cards, for ur S&M leather whips holder, for ur jewelries, for ur diapers, all comes tailor-made (actually handmade) individually for you. So no two boxes are the same.

yes..so if you need one, drop me a line or drop Jamieson'z an email *say bidarlah refer - u get special rate ie. extra 10% for me. hahaha!

of course...u get to choose your very own color, patterns, size & price are negotiable with J'Z.

got this from H via gmail.

CONGRATS to the lovely wedding couple.

ps. where is my invite? ;)
guess where they took the above pic...

They held their wedding in Bhutan plus got arrangements and assistance by the Royal Family of Bhutan. They broke the traditions and used the royal palace's sleeping room as a background of their wedding photographs. The prince and his wife of Bhutan have also helped the newly weds put on the traditional royal attires of Bhutan.

another one:

the 'western' look. apparently groom outfit is by Tom Ford.

and more pictures beginning to surface via medias...

MSN Virus...

Yesterday afternoon i got a msg from our Beauty Queen from HK via MSN.

"I cannot believe i saw someone like you in at this site...check it out"

It will prompt you to download the zipped file to view. And so I did.

pic used for illustration only

once done, i unzipped it and saw a weird file code, so i chose to ignore. Quickly trashed it and did a virus check and spybot search. phew! safe...

moments later, Jw called me, her lappie got infected cos she opened and installed the file as she got a similar msg from our Beauty Queen.

her msg was..."my new year pic...(or something)...check it out." And so she did as well.

Elim too received similar msg, so does Scarlet. Each msg will be different.

SO PLEASE EVERYONE, DO NOT SIMPLY OPEN ANY FILES sent by anyone. Please please please check with the sender first. In our case, if you are on Jw or K's msn list...DO NOT INSTALL OR DOWNLOAD ANY FILES SENT FROM THEM.

if you did: please delete without installing the file immediately. this is the time, when a 'giver' is not appreciated.

thank you both very much! and ooo...i was told by doc tat the latest issue of men's arena homme contains some full frontal artistic images of women*. hehe! I did not know ok! so just now, had a quick flip and they are not for the faint (weak) hearted. OMG! wah liao eh! Scarlot would be a happy bunny i say hahaha! thank God! the busybodies customs did not searched PM bag and checked every corner. I still do not know why they bother? seriously.

Our baggage had been scanned, sniffed, badly man-handled, weighed, and God knows wat happen behind there, at our outbound airport, yet only over here, (that i know of lah) they still request us to open our luggage in front of them, to check what's inside before allowing us to pass through the glass door. Find whats inside can be taxed ka? hmm... i heard...

* it's ok to show violence and horrific images but sexual images...no no no!!? why? i do wonder which one is worse? like sex is somekind of freak show. like they don't 'do' any themselves.

ps. PM if u reading this, email me ur ac so i can transfer money to you.

pps. stay tune, i'll make i post some 'artistic' shots hahaha!!! (actually drafted for sometime oledi) one day! lah.

SELAMAT HARI RAYA...

Finally after one month of fasting for the Muslims, it's (almost) time for celebration (Hari Kemenangan). So that means holiday for all of us starting tomorrow. Yeah! well some lucky ones...off for a week; some not so ones well...back to work on Tuesday. But at least it's a holiday and food feast muahahaha!

I would like to wish all you lelaki dan patung, SELAMAT HARI RAYA AIDILFITRI & MAAF ZAHIR BATIN.

so i will use this chance to share with you lelaki dan patung, one of my favorite pantun (malay poem).

kalau ada jarum yang patah, jangan disimpan di dalam peti;
kalau ada silap dan salah, jangan disimpan di dalam hati.

loosely translated:
if there is a broken needle, please do not keep it in the box; if i made any mistakes or wrongdoings, please do not keep in your heart.

as like last year, i'm still on a mission: looking out for the best durian kueh!!! If you see me coming to your house, dun hide them ok! hehe!

pic taken from online (forgot the link) & manipulated by me.

UPDATE: it's 7:26pm

pop! pop! pop! fiiii booooop! yes, the sound of the firecrackers (legal & illegal) up in the air. It's everywhere.

short post

wat a feeling?

I doubt anyone wants to trade place with me right now. NO ONE!!!

I got to say a big big THANK YOU to all those leaving me comments on last posts, emails and phone calls. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

It's nice to see you guys care about me or at least think about moi, unlike some ungrateful ones- no names mentioned. U know ppl say when u are sick, you see who your 'friends' are. I totally believe whoever said that.

It had also been a crazy week for me. Not only falling ill, workload - (meetings & dateline) suddenly doubled or tripled. wat the eff?

Everything was smooth sailing and within my control when i was in perfect condition, then suddenly got shot by a very stubborn virus and smacked with all the adhoc meetings/datelines. life oh life!!!

So imagine sitting through meetings, ur body grows through summer & winter within 10 mins interval, over and over and over. And you got to concentrate, listen or at least look like you are listening.

ooo...wat a milestone for me. I know a few of my friends took 'mc' like candy. But for me, on 1st August, i went to see doctor and without me asking for one, he issued me one and asked me to rest! At first i was deliberating: should i or not? mind vs body scenario. Body wins - went home and rest. And by that- i zzz-ed through most of the day. Man!

This is my very first MC i ever taken, not pulled hor!, in my working life-well in Brunei lah at least. champagne for me...i think haha!

When you are sick, you also can't do much stuffs: literally no yoga, no other exercises, & home bounded and well...simply too tired to post or write after work. But do thanks you guys for your well wishes. Thank you once again.

Again, I would like to say, i'm ok. Just got to deal with it! Tat's life. Now going to dinner and not sure if my body is ready for tomorrow charity yoga. Should i or should i not?

yes! cos it's the first ever to be organised locally and for a good cause.

no! not sure to pass or share my stubborn virus to other yogi/yoginis esp we will be doing inside a hall. hmm...(pic)

it's BIG...

and it's free.

Yup, it's here and it's everywhere- most local kopitiam or coffee shops, restaurants, and hotels. most locals would have seen it, some might even had flicked through it or even read it.

wat the ho and the ha? it's B.I.G. not the notorious one lah. It's a free quarterly publication reviewing local restaurants, shops, places to go and happenings in Brunei. It even introduces the locals to hotels, places of interest in other cities. So you can read about it before you book your next destination accommodation.

Yup! it's a guide magazine - Brunei Insider's Guide.

MV had his first article published-which he is so proud off. Read all about it in the latest issue.

So next time, if you question yourself: where to eat? what to do? Well, have a quick flick through B.I.G. and have i not mentioned-it's free. o yes! it's free.

for overseas readers, if you want a copy let me know, i will have a word with the editor. I'm sure he'll be happy to arrange something.
