spoiled bruneians

i admit. i was a spoiled brat. actually, in general bruneians are a spoilt bunch.

i just had a mini-conversation with fadz on facebook(woo, i mentioned another pro-procrastinator other than friendster) and we went on to talking about how we were b4 we left for the uk.

i, for one, knew nothing, about cooking and the thereabouts of a place that people call 'the kitchen'. i came here literally not knowing how to cook rice (im serious!), not knowing how to peel & chop onions, not knowing how to potong kueh raya (pathetic yes..), even ignorant of what is bawang putih and bawang besar..

the list goes on really. but the few i've mention suffices in telling that i was a brat. a brat who never entered the kitchen. a brat who relied on mum or the amah for food.

and the thing is, its not like i come from a well-off family. i come from an average family, and to have a daughter like me in the family, who before uni cannot do all of those things?

bruneians are spoilt. imagine my frens (the locals here i mean), shock to knw that an average brunei family has at least one maid and a driver.

so yes, uni comes with responsibilities. so now i knw how to do the things i never knew. i did manage to ruin good rice by using too much rice and too little water.

but that is all experience.

ka nadz can testify that im a expert on chopping bawang. i dont even cry. haha.

but easter is around the corner, then comes summer. which means, spoilt brunei mode ON!

hehe.. last sentence kinda spoils the whole message of this post yea?

btw, is it spoilt or spoiled??
