Gadong been ambushed!!!

26th April....6pm...Gadong is dead...well almost dead. Because there was no ELECTRICITY!!! My house also and I heard that some other places have no electricity as well.
Wahh...i saw alot of parking spaces on SATURDAY! Alot of shops also closed.
I heard there's no electric since 4pm liaw. Sienzzz
Went hangout with my friends until 10.30pm and went back to Gadong. The electric came back around 9pm something. Treated my dad to watch The Forbidden Kingdom midnight show. It was good. Not bad.
After the movie, my dad went back to his car where he parked at the opposite of the Mall, the SKH row there where alot of youngsters hanged out. But this time, I saw alot of police as well. They "interviewed" those youngsters. My dad cannot move his car because been blocked by those youngsters' cars.
So went to eat at the Tai Foodcourt (don't know correct spelling or not ah) the Justoy foodcourt there la.
And it was around 2am and we went back to my dad's car.
Haih....the "interview" still on-going~ So my dad had to follow my car home.
Really interesting, this is the 1st time I see alot alot of police patrolling around Gadong. Even the exits from Gadong been guarded by police when I went out. Three times I've been stop but nothing happen and they let me go. I just show them my innocent face hahaha.
Really interesting la. 1st no electricity and 2nd Ambush~ Nice~

At long last, espeed is finally A ok....or maybe not?
Im so glad the internet service is finally back. Gawh I miss you so much haha
Yea, I bet there's alot of people complaining about espeed (including me XD)

Sigh, espeed is still not yet fully functionally ok. Still doing their maintenance and upgrading. Only can sign in msn for now.
Right now Im using my friend's zoom broadband. Can't really say its fast or not. Seem to me its almost the same as espeed. Maybe in terms of downloading speed will be totally different.
It looks like my exam schedule is confirm on

5th April - Brunei River tour

Last Saturday night was a memorable night. My first time on boat! Hahaha! No lah. I just kidding about it.
Last night went fireflies hunting, we were. Its a trip organized by BJFAUBD but only a few went. Hmm I guess maybe its because we had to pay $15 per person for the trip. But c'mon....its rare bah and you don't always get the chance to see right?
The initial plan was to wait at CLT parking area but ended up meet up at Yayasan fountain area. Then moved to water taxi parking lot or check point near Fratini's....you know...where people walk down the stairs and onto the boat. We were waiting for the rest that haven't turn up.

A view of Water Village at dawn

Owwhh...look at those sexy orange life jacket with bling bling stickers on it XD

Our transport. Nice~ got roof~ XD

When everyone gathered, i think it was almost 7.30pm already. There were 3 tour guides and 1 driver. I forgot their name XD but I did remember one of the tour guide's name is Faisal and the driver is nicknamed Mark because of all the life jackets is marked with his name Mark. Hence last night all of us were Mark.

Meet Mark I and Mark II

Its a weehee on the boat haha

This is Faisal. He can speak Mandarin really well! I think he told something about John Batu which we get to see but I didn't manage to take the photo of it because it was too dark and there was not enough lighting. Sigh.

The one that control the boat motor is the original Mark. All the life jackets we wore belong to him

Then off we go to look for fireflies. We traveled along the river near the mangrove area to look for them beautiful sparkling bling bling fireflies. On the way one of the tour guide, well i just call him Mr.S here since i remember his name start with S. He started to tell us about fireflies. Blablabla.....sorry i forgot what he said. But...I just knew that fireflies are not FLIES! They are classified as a family of beetle. Not The Beatles alright?
And also not all the fireflies will bling bling. Ever wonder what's the function of light emitting bod they had? Its to lure mate~ The brightness of the light will determine how sexy they are.....NOT! But its true about luring mate.
Fireflies had no predators too because they produced this....whatever...solution which make them not tasty to eat. Make all the animals that eat them vomit at that instant.
But i heard those male fireflies which can emit light will be eat by those other male fireflies which can't. Haha jealousy kill!
After a few 10 minutes travel, we finally found a tree which had fireflies. Its beautiful eventhough there's not alot.

The tree which had fireflies

The flashlight killed off the light emit from the fireflies so not flashlight!

This picture can see better....the light emitted from fireflies that is

This sucks. Didn't get to shoot a good photo of fireflies. They are not bright enough! I bet they always fail at their exam on How to spark more light. Haha lame~ I know~
After fireflies, we were going to look for bangau~ Don't ask me what is that. I only know they are birds.
Heard from Mr.S that they are originally from China and now they permanently stay at Brunei. I guess they can't withstand the cold weather at China and decided to fly away from there to look for the paradise they wanted. So one day, one group of them found Brunei and believe it is their ideal paradise. Hence more of them began to migrate to here and got themselves Yellow IC and therefore stay here forever~ wahahahhahaha

The sleeping bangaus

This which I 1st thought is KingFisher but is not! I don't know what kind of bird this is

The bird which I thought is Kingfisher kept showing us its sexy ass when we were trying to take its photo. It keep turning its back on us until it flew away...and dropped a white thingie down to the river. (-__-)
Now after fireflies hunting and bangaus hunting, the tour guides decided to hunt for crocodiles now. They found some and flash the light in a direction but i can't see. They said you can spot a pair of red eyes but I just can't see it. I have poor night vision. Then later we finally saw one really obvious crocodile which showed off its skill in swimming when lights are shone on it. Didn't manage to take its photo since it swim so fast and dive into the river after awhile. Sayang eh~
We were able to see some fruit bats and a 'Flying fox' as well. The flying fox was amazing. Its not really a fox fyi. Its a squirrel. It climbed along a tree branch very fast and flew from one tree to another tree, that's so cool! Again can't get any photo due to lack of lighting and also my lousy digital camera which is only 5 MP. Sigh.....
Then somehow, I don't know how. We reach somewhere near the istana.

See that palace?

Backdoor of Istana?

Just a random picture of the sky

After that, there's no more interesting part of the journey until we went back to the same spot where we left. And the interesting part started after we got off the boat. We took a group photo before we left. Its not in my camera btw. After that, me and a few people went to yayasan Uni Arcade to play ddr again haha. Then sent those who follow my car to Bandar earlier back to UBD. Alright end my story here and OMG its 1.32 AM liaw! Time to finish up my reports!
Night everyone!

$1.20

Wonder why the topic is $1.20?
Hmm got story behind it lah.

Went down to cafeteria, not many people, chose anywhere to sit down, ordered my lunch [chicken rice as usual] I ordered chicken breast, but when the food came, I saw chicken drumstick. I asked the waiter is this chicken breast that I ordered and he said yes. (-____-)

Ok....its either he don't know how a chicken breast and chicken drumstick looked like or he think he can fool me! C'mon man, April's Fool is OVER!

But im just not in the mood to complaint and just accept whatever in my dish. Ate my lunch halfway and Chin Yo came down and join us at the same table.

He went to buy Nasi lemak from the same foodstall where i ordered my lunch and when he opened the packet.


*shine brightly*

Sunshine!

There's rice and chicken meat.....but NO sambal! LoL.


So he went back to the foodstall and asked to change a new packet.

Hahaha! I was thinking what if those who never know what is Nasi lemak and they bought the rice with chicken only. Surely they'll think its Nasi lemak right? LoL
Since i was still hungry so i asked him how much is the Nasi lemak. He said $1.20. And i was like "Eh? How come got 20cent one again?" Weird.....
But i don't care since anyway i had spare change in my pocket. But but...when i went to the same foodstall and ordered Nasi Lemak, the lady at the counter charge me $1.50!!! WTH was my facial expression. So i told her my friend just bought for $1.20. She was blur at that moment so she just count me $1.20 only.
Went back to my table and tell the story. Then Chin Yo said he think it is $1.50. (-__________-)

And yep....it is $1.50! He forgot!
No mood to eat after knowing it cost $1.50. I felt guilty somehow.
So i went back to return additional 30cents. Hahahaha Im a honest guy!
Nah....Im not really that honest. I believe in Karma. That's all.

Wah i felt like I went back to secondary school. I think I just write something that's similar to an essay....Hahaha!
Anyway i think that's the only interesting story of my life today.
Cheers~

Lee Bai's Poem

I bet you all don't know who the hell is Lee Bai, well except for a few. Right? He was one of the two greatest poets of China during Tang dynasty. Alright I believe that's enough with history. Its boring~
Anyway, I like one of his poems. Its very famous. Even primary kids know how to recite it.

床前明月光,疑是地上霜。
舉頭望明月,低頭思故鄉。

Chuang qian ming yue guang
Yi shi di shang shuang
Ju tou wang ming yue
Di tou shi gu xiang

Familiar people? This is the chinese version. Never heard of it?

Its ok. There is another version of it.

-

(English Version)
The moon light is pouring down on my bedside
Like white frost spreading on the ground
I look up the bright round moon in the sky
And lower my head thinking of my dear hometown

Its English translation of the poem. Nice and meaningful, ain't it?

There's some more other version which maybe some of you seen it before.

-

(Singlish (Phua Chu Kang) Version)
Bedfront Moon Bright Bright
Think Is Floor White White
Lift Head See Moon Moon
Bow Head Miss Home Home...

(Ah-Beng Version)
Bedfront Orr Pi Sai (pick nose)
Think Think Go Pang Sai (go shit)
Pick Up Tai Gor Tai (handphone)
BS While Lau Sai (bullshitting while making "curry" lol)

(Latest Reservist Army Version)
Bedfront Lau Bark Sai (tears drop)
Thinking About Exercise(reservist mobilization)
Drop Dead Look Into The Sky (run until nobreathe)
Tong Kor Sia Lang Zai? (my heartache nobody knows)

(Osama version)
No friend at my side
Think think Bush will fight
Lift head but where to hide?
This time don't know when will die ?

(Bush version)
Can't sleep since that night
Think think where he hide?
Bomb bomb friends will say I pai (bad)
No choice ask them go fly kite

Hahahahahah! LMAO! I like them. Very creative.

There's actually one more version which I learnt it during my time when I was still an innocent primary kid in CHMS.

床前明月光,[Insert name here]脫光光。
擺在博物館,每個人去參觀。

Chuang qian ming yue guang
[Insert name here] tuo guan guan
Bai zai bo wu guan
Mei ge ren qu can guan

Translation~

The moon light is pouring down on my bedside
[Insert name here] took off all the clothes
Posing in the art museum
Everyone go there to see

Hope you all get a good laugh! ;)
