Brand New Year

So officially, this is going to be my first post in 2006. Happy New Year to all of you despite being 3 days late.

I've been having short conversations with a few of my classmates who are back in their hometown earlier on. Most of them come to me with these random questions and replies..

Friend: Hey! Happy New Year...!
Me: Yeah, you too...
Friend: So...where are you now?
Me: Err...home?
Friend: Home as in Brunei home or..?
Me: Nolah, still in PJ...hehe
Friend: HAR!? What are you still doing there? Why don't go back?
Me: Dunno also..
Friend: Oic

Come to think about it, why am i still here when i can be back in Brunei now? Sometimes i don't quite get myself either. Haha. Been slacking around lately. Celebrated Christmas, New Year and my housemate's birthday in Redbox. How sad is that? The last trip was horrible though. I went in a healthy person and came out instantly sick. I think their microphones are infected with some funky virus...right now my nose is blocked and i'm having a really terrible sorethroat.

I haven't got my haircut since the last incident that happened. So right now, i'm still thinking should i get one before i go back? Obviously not the same place but i'll probably risk my hair in some other saloons.

On a sadder note, my fabulous fantastic wonderful college have not refunded my caution fees. Funny how their procedures can be. When it comes to accepting payment, they can really process everything in a heartbeat but when it comes to refunding, you'll probably have to wait till 2010.

I have finally watched King Kong! I was planning to catch it in the cinema but since most of my friends have watched it, i just ended up downloading it. Yes, i am that cheap. But..it's a great movie that made me shed tears in the end upon seeing the great beast drew it's last breath. Highly recommended to all!

APL*ITUNES 866-712-7753 on your bank statement? YOU HAVE BEEN SCAMMED.

[Update 17Jan2018] - Wow. To think that 8 years later, this scam is still going on as I'm still getting the odd notifications every now and then with comments on this post. TLDR: If you guys stumble upon this random site because of the APL*ITUNES 866-71-2-7753 charge on your credit/debit card, call your bank immediately and report it as a fraud.  If you have an iTunes account and have any bank cards associated with it, you might wanna beware. I normally check my bank accounts every now and then just to be sure that there's nothing fishy going on in there and of course at the same time, just like many of you *secretly* hoping that someone might accidentally transfer $1 million to my account as well. I've had a few cases of credit card frauds happening and so far, banks have been very cooperative with disputing transactions and issuing me a new card (especially my local bank, SCB Brunei. Well done!). So today, i checked one of my overseas bank account and found out tha...

Foreigner marrying a local Bruneian. A step by step guide.

Time to put this blog to good use again. Seeing that there's hardly any resources online for what one should do when they have decided to marry a local Bruneian, here's what I can tell you in a quick summary.  Brace yourself.  Especially when dealing with the immigration department officials and the paperwork requirement. Despite being married for two years now, whenever I have to make a trip to the immigration to renew Calla's visa, my mood instantly turns sour and I just rage mentally. The repetitive paperwork submissions and the waiting time is absolutely ridiculous and if you're unlucky, you'll be greeted with a " Nombor sudah habis " (Out of queuing numbers) just as you arrive at the immigration which pretty much means, screw you - try your luck again tomorrow! And I shit you not, in order to secure a queue number in the morning, one have to start queuing in line by 6 am at the very least while those working at the immigration department is prob...

"You have a lucky face" / "You are lucky" scam.

Image
Re-posting this from my status update on Facebook which I shared the other day on a rather unique encounter.  --  On my way to my car after work today (while doing my Pokestop runs) an Indian fella stopped me on my track and said "You're very lucky. You have 3 lines on your forehead I can see that is luck".   That obviously stopped me for a bit as he approached me and said "You wanna know how I know? I can tell people's fortune. You wanna know your fortune?" Curious me nodded yes while my brain let out a big sigh and told me "That's it, you're gonna fall for this somehow." This "fortune t eller" proceeds to make small talks about how I'm happy but I'm only 40% happy while scribbling on his notepad discreetly. He then crumpled up the paper and made me hold it in my first and said "What I wrote in there, you don't know right?" (cues my no shit, Sherlock! moment) Then he started asking me to pick a n...
