Back in the days... Walking dwn memory lane...

Hey guys...

Have you ever just have a flashback and think back of your old school with your friends and everyone... I came back from International 16 meeting, and then I miss home again, as usual... Apparently, instead of searching of Brunei again, what i did.. I was searching through my old schools...

1) Chung Hua Middle School, KB (1994-2004)

I spent literally most of my school years in CHMS, KB where i met a lot of my closest friends right now... Guys, did u check the website? I was looking through it, and wow, less than half of the teachers are teachers who taught us... Currently, they still have Teacher Joan, Lee Siew Sung, Teacher Sherelin, Mr Chandron, Hong qi lao shi, and somemore.. but u get what i mean right??? There's no Cikgu Gan, Miss Chua, Mr Jerome, Teacher Shoba, etc in CHMS... I mean like, if i were to walk down the halls of CHMS again, I believe I would see new faces everywhere.. I really miss the school though, back then, we didnt have all those technology like projectors.. We had to live with the fan when we were primary kids, our tables and chairs were wooden and we had the covered drawer! I remember when we were young, it was still chalkboard... Man, i wish i had taken pictures of those times... I would laugh like crazy just looking at it i guess? I remember funny and crazy moments back in school... It was really the good old times... Bros and sistasss, you guys know who u r... I <3 u all...

2) SMPJNPHAB, PJN, Mumong (2005-2006)

I was looking at wikipedia when I did my memory lane with PJN... And then you know what i found? The school song!!! I remember when me and yihing was at the assembly and we heard the school song for the first time, we were dumbstruck.. because it sounded soooo nice, like a celebrity ballad... Not like CHMS "bi hai bi, ling li li" HAHAHA!! It was like "Kami berilmu, beriman and berbakti...."... I remember complaining abt the heat, because we didnt have aircons at the top floors, i remember meeting the MA4/5Sci people and we discussing abt like what questions were in the test and stuff.. Its because of PJN, i met a lot of great malay friends... Right now, I still enjoy being with them, speaking the awesome Brunei Malay with them, its because of them, I learn so much more about the malay culture, and I really love my experience there.. The teachers were terrific, and I owe it to Mrs Phang for giving me the interest in Chemistry, and Teacher Amanda aka Mrs Voon as well... PJN was the right decision for me, and I really miss those moments too... I'm grateful to have met you guys from PJN =)I <3 u all...

3) Jerudong International School, JIS, Bandar (2007-2008)

JIS was the school tht i least expect to go during my school years.. How i went to JIS, actually started as a joke with my mom... We saw the advert in Borneo Bulletin, and we were like "Lets apply for fun, get in or not, no need to care, fan zhen going to SMSA ma"... Hahaha~~ and soo... I went for the test for the Jan 07 batch... And then december came, and I received a call, "Miss Leong, you've been accepted into Jan 07 batch"... I was like "WHAT?" hahahaa... how funny was tht? And so i started JIS... It was okay during the first mth, i made new friends and all... But then It was CNY in february, where the homesick-ness came... I believe it was coz i was having so much fun with my KB friends, missing them like crazyyyy.. And i was crying everyday in JIS, ask grayson, he heard me cry.. hahaha! I decided to try SMSA but what they learnt was what i've already learnt in JIS, i didnt want to re-study everything again... And my dad wanted me to become independent, he wanted me to get away from the family so that I could live on my own, without family support... This was the right decision as right now, im in the UK, all alone and surviving with my personal decisions... JIS was an amazing experience I would say.. I met all sorts of international people, I was part of the School council but best of all, i was part of J07... I love these people... Because there was only 14 of us in the class, (Bian and Denise left in their year 12), we all grew this bond with each other, but this didnt stop us from making friends with the August batch. we made friends, and they're awesome! I thank JIS for letting me meet Dorren especially, Dorren is one of my closest friends of all times, and I share a bond with her which is indescribable.. We dont contact each other everyday kind, but she understands me and i understand her .. haha, I guess this is what you call friendship? And akmal too, working with him in Pusat Bahagia was a great experience and I remember in classes, we always bully each other with May-o-naise and Dayangku Akmalina Latifah, thts sooo fun, i think he'll agree with me... Gold award with my peeps, u guys know who you are, we conquer MT killimanjaro together, the first students from brunei to climb tht mountain .. Pancake and interesting Chemistry experiments with Mr Kruger and Hird with J07... J07, and i mean everyone, I'm grateful to god that i've known you guys, even for 1 and a half yrs of study life there... I <3 u all..

Its just a walk down memory lane for me right now... And yes, right now I'm in the Uni of Manchester, with my friends all over the world... At least I want them to know, no matter where we are, our memories in the past will be forever cherish in my heart and I love you guys to bits... I thank you for these precious memories and I wish everyone all the best =D

I love making new friends, and every new friend i make, will have a spot in my heart.. My dear friends, we were meant to meet and I hope that you wont feel that I've forgotten you, just because we are not speaking anymore... In my mind and heart, you're always my friend, and with whatever memories we have, it will forever be cherished...

Weekends outside of Manchester...












Trips I had over the weekend:

Week 1: Sheffield (Pics available in facebook)
Week 2: Leeds (Pics not available until taken from frenz in leeds)
Week 3: Stoke on Trent

We started the day with a lovely breakfast outside the sunny weather but cold wind.. haha, went to the gardens to walk around and enjoyed some relaxing time with my aunt.. More of a relaxation week doing nothing...
Week 4: Lake District
A last minute decision to go i would say... we went to ambleside and cruise around the lake, i would recommend this during the summer when its warm but the lake is lovely with the swans and ducks all over... A rainy trip with MSSM...
Week 5: Halloween in Liverpool
when a 3 people initial planning ended up with an amazing 9 people tripp.. We went around liverpool, and found out there was a ceremony on that day itself at the city hall.. We had a great time cruising at the Albert dock area and walked around the city where i met faz for a while to catch up a bit.. A nice day to travel around liverpool instead of dressing up for halloween *Well, i did it last yr so i didnt lose anything fun*
Week 6: Cardiff, Wales
When down to cardiff for reading week to catch up with faith who's a childhood friend currently studying in cardiff.. Enjoyed shopping with her where we spent like A LOT of money and we slept at the cinema.. i know "WHAT?" haha. Had 2 glass of wine and thts a day done for me.. Went to the city and cardiff bay, which we manage to find just because i sat on the merry go round! YAY! Great catching up with faith and first time to wales
Week 7: Roven and Conwy, Wales
Left on the friday evening to Landuodo where it was raining like CRAZYY.. We took a taxi to our youth hostel in Roven and apparently, the cab got stuck in the middle of the hill, so we had to walk up to our hostel in the pitch black sky and pouring rain.. Long story here which I'm just lazy to talk about but overall, an awesome trip.. Have to hand it to Alex, our Malaysian leader whom was really awesome.. We walked around Conwy, and pictures of wales will be uploaded one day... A really nice place to relax and bond with new friends... End with a meal of great fish and chips! Oh yeah! I saw the smallest house of great britain too! Its really small, im even taller than the door, well the house is taller than me by what, 1/2-1 head? HAHA. google it! or ask me for the pic..

A summary of my weekends eversince I came back to the UK.. I enjoy travelling and I've enjoyed myself in every weekend of my travels...

Its the starting of October...

Hey all!!

Omg, I've left this blog dead for quite a while now... Im back in Manchester and now far far away from little brunei <3. I got my license one week before i flew and shit, i still cant drive, im like a sakai in the road, still need my dad to jaga me, or i might end up in an accident! Hahaha..

Arrived in London on 28th September and was on the same flight with Dorren, Amal, Aina, Iq, Ridha and Hua, as well as Dorren's cousins and friends... Damn was it a long flight, but yeah, surprisingly I wasnt jetlag AT ALL! Awesome-ness... Haha, when i got to the airport, my dear aunt came to pick me up and gave me my pic which I took in a studio in LonDon, Super Nice man, never knew the profession in make up and photography can actually make me look pretty... The angle and lighting were just right, actually there's one which i really liked, but it was with my cousin, since she doesnt like it, I didnt take it.. Oh wells~ hahaha.. Its once in a lifetime chance i guess? XD

And then it was coming to 11/10/2009 which is my 19th birthday, my last teen yearr =( Had a nice dinner with few friends at Bella Italia with my imaginary blowing candles on a chocolate cupcake kind of cake.. ahhaha, the chocolate was so moist and nicee, but unfortunately a bit too sweet for me... Hahaha.. Thanks y'all for such a lovely dinner =) Even the card made me feel like a princess for a dayy.. hahaha


And then We go back in time to 7/10.... Where we were clubbing at RevolutioN! Detention Night~ Look at 4 crazy uni girls trying to look like school girls? Those were the days.... when we had to wear those knee length skirts and a formal top with our tie... HAHAHHA!! It was a fun night but my alcohol tolerance had gone down to like O! Its time to increase those alcohol tolerance~~ And then it was FUN CLUBBING TIME... lots of dancing and drinkingg till the night went young again... hahaha...





Pre-drink session before going clubbing... hehehe... Man, im lousy in blogging.. Oh wells~ Thats about it I guess??

the climb...

Hey all,

I have been thinking.. When i came back till now, i had a grudge towards someone... yes i kno, its bad.. Ive been complaining and stuff, and when i think about it, why do i want to make my life so sad and miserable? I should be glad and happy that im back home, and I got good grades ryte? I should be glad that God has been by my side this whole time, supporting me and giving me strength to guide me through my life..

For those non- believers, I dont have a straight religion as Im born in both a buddist and christian family, i believe there's something or someone out there watching over us, guiding us when we need help, a secret hand to help us through rough times.. Whether you believe it or not, its your choice, please do not criticise me for what i believe in...

When i opened vanessa's blog, her 2nd song was this The Climb by Miley Cyrus... This song has a great meaning to it. Here are the lyrics:

I can almost see it
That dream I'm dreaming but
There's a voice inside my head sayin,
You'll never reach it,
Every step I'm taking,
Every move I make feels
Lost with no direction
My faith is shaking but I
Got to keep trying
Got to keep my head held high

There's always going to be another mountain
I'm always going to want to make it move
Always going to be an uphill battle,
Sometimes you going to have to lose,
Ain't about how fast I get there,
Ain't about what's waiting on the other sideI
t's the climb

The struggles I'm facing,
The chances I'm taking
Sometimes they knock me down but
No I'm not breaking
The pain I'm knowing
But these are the moments that
I'm going to remember most yeah
Just got to keep going
And I, I got to be strong
Just keep pushing on,

There's always going to be another mountain
I'm always going to want to make it move
Always going to be an uphill battle,
Sometimes you going to have to lose,
Ain't about how fast I get there,
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
It's the climb

There's always going to be another mountain
I'm always going to want to make it move
Always going to be an uphill battle,
Sometimes you going to have to lose,
Ain't about how fast I get there,
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
It's the climbKeep on moving

Keep climbing, Keep the faith baby
It's all about It's all about The climb
Keep the faith
Keep your faith

The song is telling you that in life, there's sooo many obstacles for you to go through, although at times you will fail, but you cant give up... Just try again and keep faith... Out of difficulties, miracles happen, if any of you watch Burning Flame 3, you'll know Rex told this to Ngau ko... Be strong and accept whatever happens, dont complain and try to look forward to the future.. Be happy with what you have, you may have something that someone wishes to have..

i want to live a simple and happy life, ive been saying that for quite some time, but i really need the time and support to remove all these hatred from this black heart of mine.. I'm tired of being treated like how i was treated before, im a human being and I have feelings too.. If onli i could be like the clouds in the sky, floating around freely like nothing is bothering them...

6th July

hey all..

Finally, boredom strikes since I got back to Brunei about 2 weeks ago.. Haha.. When I arrived on the June 25th, it felt like a short drive from Bandar back to KB, maybe its cause I've taken more than 3 hours journeys before in the UK.. Oh wells, luckily I came back early, H1N1 cases in Brunei is rising and there's currently 1 death.

May that 12 year old girl rest in peace and be in the hands of god... amen... <3
It is sad to see that so many people have suffered from this pandemic.. Scary as well, to see the world becoming this stage.. UK has gone up to almost 8000 cases, which is very worrying. Hopefully this will come to an end soon, its just like repeating SARS and Bird flu all over again.. There's the time when it gets worse and slowly these diseases will come to an end... I've read an article that a swine flu vaccine has been created but can only be release in august, and there's still an arguement going about whether to make this vaccine into a large scale, because they need to continue the production of the winter flu vaccine.. Hopefully a solution will be there and hope everyone will be safe from this "possible deadly" disease..
May god take care of all of us living in this world, and let us all battle this H1N1 disease, we've survived SARS and Bird flu and so we can go through this pandemic again...
YES WE CAN!!

Almost time...

Its almost time to go home.. Soon, I'll be stepping onto the Brunei airport, and then carrying my carpisa luggage, walked out to the arrival hall and see my parents.. Thats the vision I have in my mind.. I've even decided what clothes I'm gonna wear when i go bak! hehehe..

Actually, Im writing this post, coz all the sudden, i felt like frenz and family.. are so precious and important in my life.. In another one more day, the battle officially begins.. I start the battle with CRE.. This time, i dont know why, i dun feel like studying.. somehow i'm so relax, as in i feel its not exam yet.. I feel its still the normal schooling days.. How comE? Why am i feeling such emotions? I should be working hard now, instead of blogging, doing as much past yr pprs as i can.. But i dun know. I cant feel it..

I feel like I've let my parents down.. Although I barely made it to a first class, but this time, can i still maintain that first? With such "effort", i dont think i can make it.. Hopefully i can make it to 2:1, even better if a first came out.. Daddy says "May.. I kno you're a 2:1 student, from your A levels grades, I know thts your potential and standard".. U all may think "wahh, where got father say such thing de o?" Well, I feel that he's right.. Dad has been right for a lot of things, just that i was sooo stubborn to even listen..

I think i myself know my own potential, just that I set a high standard for myself, the problem is, i dont work hard to get that high standard i put on myself.. I think all the while, I was just lucky.. To be able to make it through all these academic challenges, from PCE to PMB to O levels and then A levels.. I thank god as well, as i believe he listens to my prayers and guides me through these times as well..

Right now, I just wanna get through this, if only the scholarship criteria isnt there to make me frustrated.. I need at least a 2:1 to maintain my scholarship, somehow i feel its a 50:50 chance for me to get it.. I think I can get a 2:2 easily but a 2:1, its still a obstacle for me to go through. But why? Why do i not feel the stress and panic which would make me drive to study... Why do i not feel the motivation to achieve these excellence?

Is it coz its almost time to go home? Is it coz I dont care abt this course anymore? Why..?? I myself dont know and dont understand.. Suddenly I feel i've let them down, the 2 people who I'm suppose to make them proud, make them feel i'm someone worth looking after...

I dont know.. I feel lost.. What is this feeling? What is this emotion?

-Lost in life-
