the sakainess of Bruneians

it snowed today!!

it was soo gorgeous just watching the flakes fall..

unfortunately, it didnt snow hard enough. the campus is still green.

but still, looking out the window and see snowflakes fall.. it was lovely =)

i was over at nis' for lunch and it was around that time that it started snowing and we were just awed by the view of falling snow through her window (despite the bird shit hahaha). so me and nis, being typical sakai bruneians, opened the window, stuck our hands out (simultaneously too lol) and tried to catch snowflakes on our hands! it was freezing, but it was so cool! we didnt manage to catch any tho =s

but wait!

it gets better. i had this idea of sticking out sumthing black so we could see the shapes of the snowflakes and the only black thing around was anisah's black file so we stuck the file out of the window to catch snowflakes. u guys shudve seen us. it was soo funny. i can't imagine what a passerby would think, seeing two girls at a window (with bird shit) with their hands sticking out in the freezing weather.

so nis was trying to catch snowflakes, her hands out of the window holding the file, and as soon as she catches some big flakes we pull the file in to look close but the damn flakes just keep melting so fast!!

this process was repeated a few times till i realised, and so promptly pointed out, that the heater was just below the window which was why the flakes keep melting so fast!

and it gets better!


sometime when we were giggling and being sakai over the snow, someone passed by an adjacent window. nis just pulled her file in and i was trynna close the window but it wudnt so we just laughed till the person went away.

that was funny. haha.

its been a while since ive been to nisah's.

if u dont find that funny, then im just bad at telling the story.

u just gotta be there. kan nis?

memoirs of McGiggles anyone?

i FINALLY succumbed to curiosity (and vanity of course!) and checked out who my celebrity look-alike was. but im hooked now so i'm prolly gonna try it out with different pictures and see if ziyi still comes out.

maybe its the smile, eh?



...many many minutes later...

the celebrities that i get most are:

1)sammi cheng
2)zhang ziyi
3)brenda song (meez! u once said i reminded u of her!!)

google them up if u guys are that curious hehe can't be bothered to post their picture up. and i used pictures of myself where i didnt wear the hijab, which explains why i'm not posting the thingamajig from my.heritage.com.

and look who my mummy got!!!



now thats a sexy mum. hehe i love u mum!

monkeys and snow

i've got the song 'let it snow' stuck in my head.

it snowed in nottingham lastnite. it also snowed in london. and in loughborough. and in manchester lastweek.

starting to sound like the weather report? haha im just envious cos it hasnt friggin' snowed in kent since i've been here. oh yes, well alrite, technically the few flakes that lasted for 5 seconds at noon today counted. and additional flakes at around 2 ish. but then it RAINED!! so the ground's wet so even if it does snow it'll be slush, not pretty perfect lovely white snow =S

my corridor mates find my excitement at the prospect of snow sad.

dave "are u excited rabz?"

me (bouncing on my heels cz i was so excited) "yes! yess! its gonna be so0o0o cool!"

dave "ur sad rabz. its just snow. its like rain"

me "i come from the TROPICS dave! u'll be just as excited when u go to brunei and see a monkey at your window!"

haha that was how the conversation basically went. but yea dave admitted that he would be excited if a monkey came to his window.. which is kind of like a daily occurrence for most bruneian households.

anyway, im stil hoping for snow. white pretty as-seen-on-tv snow.

dave and chip gave me permission to wake them up if it does snow. then we can ALL play in the snow together!!! wheeeeeeeeeeeeee!

~let it snow~let it snow~let it snow~
