2009

as u can see, i've tried giving this blog a new look. still in progress plg. as of 1st jan 2009, this blog turns 2 =)

so happy birthday rabzilulu!

anyhoo, the new look balum siap. i think im more inept at this blogspot thing than i think. i was planning to finish the new look before i write up new posts but i guess it cant be helped.. krg forever behabuk blog anie. need to let the creativity juices flow~

i still dont remember what the 3rd thing i wanted to say in my last post so im just gonna make it up and say its about twilight, new moon and eclipse. yes the books, not movies. i havent got around to getting the last book yet so yea. basically im slightly angau over the vampire. lol.

first things first, london trip! i wont go into much detail with the shopping experience in LV but i will say that it was quite an experience, being there amongst the rich hehe. i even saw one sales assistant say 'we do not do sales here' haughtily to a lady who asked if the bag in her hand was on sale. mcm dalam movie anie bah! thank god the haughty assistant didnt serve us.

i did my best to keep my cool and temptation from buying unnecessary things. i didnt look at jeans; yayyy! but i looked at shoes and tried on a gazilion pairs, each time almost caving in and thinking how much it would hurt my bank balance (and the rest of my month's spending) if i spend 80quid on shoes.

thank god i somehow persevered.

i went crazy at mothercare tho. remember i said i wont buy unnecessary things? i got 2 dresses and one baby outfit from mothercare. shopaholic much? in my defense, the 2 dresses are for my cousins; i got them dresses last summer and it didnt fit them, so this is like a replacement. the baby outfit is for another cousin.. for her 1st birthday.

when i told myself that, the purchases seem fair. hee.

and per usual, london during xmas holds brings millions of bruneians in brunei hall. skali who did i see there but muneer (who studies in australia) and izdihar who is supposed to be in florida!! i almost screamed when i saw him. muneer actually told me he was coming over in december but with dihar i was in the dark. he just nochalantly said it was 'last minute plans'.

travelling from florida to london is last minute?

baik jua i saw him. kalau nda i wudnt have known. hmmpf. so much for being friends =p

i saw them just before i had to catch my coach back to canters tho, so didnt reli have time to hang out. i saw loads of other ppl jua.. like sue and fadz and baby ryan! hee.

came back to canters at about 10pm, fell asleep just as soon as i finished packing and woke up the next morning to find the boiler wasnt working. had to endure the whole morning with no hot water or heat until dave came over to fix the boiler sometime around noon.

baik jua we had a couple of electric heaters. it was extra cold lgi tu that day.

speaking of which, it snowed ystrdy and today. its still white outside. first time since i've been here that the snow settled for this long. i was planning to go out tomoro but if it stays like this, i'll reconsider. my boots dont have enough grip if the ground is icy. no sense in falling all over town.

i'll stop here. i think my exercise woes deserves its own juicy long post. also, got major plans for my birthday weekend, but lets see if i can pull it off.

gdnite everyone.

much love,
be'ah xoxo
