Recap and resolutions

The other night, I managed to snatch a few cds from Mr. DJ (the dude seriously got a lot of great collection of cds which also need some spring cleaning to do!) and one of the cds that i borrowed was Classic Disney Volume 1: 60 Years of Musical Magic with all the classic Disney cartoon songs. Listening to Aladdin and The Lion King songs just brought back so much memories of my days growing up and also reminded me of someone who shared that much love for The Lion King with me back then. Yes Drey, i miss you! Hakuna Matata to you? :)

Ah...it's only the start of 2008 and i feel like i'm already in the middle of the year. So much work to be done, so much activities to look out for. I've been rather busy since the start of the month so do excuse my inconsistent updates.

Just a quick overdue recap of how 2007 was for me.

This was how my 2007 looked like...

What could possibly go wrong did go wrong last year. There's so many things i've regretted doing, words that i've regretted saying, friends i've regretted letting go, money i've regretted spending (haha!) and of course lives i've regretted not touching. But regardless of how crappy it went, I did however learn a handful from 2007 both from the good and the bad. I just hope that 2008 would be better year for me and also for everyone.

This year i've decided to do a little resolution of what i want to achieve or at least hope to achieve.

- Lose weight.
- Spend only when 'necessary'. (You guys seriously don't know how hard it was for me to type this out!)
- Be more commited to my job.
- Talk less. I think i talk too much nonsense for 2007...
- Be a bit more cautious with the words i use or what i say to people.
- Prioritize my time more on the things that i left out on for last year.
- Grow more in every aspect of my life.

This will definitely be a big challenge for me but hopefully i'll be able to accomplish it...or at least make a good attempt at starting it. To those who have their own little resolution for 2008, i wish you good luck and all the best!

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...
