after more than 2 months away from hometown, we're finally back to home sweet home. the most comfort of sleeping bed, tastiest of food every dinner, 24 hours internet availability, sports channel on television and not a single report to do for a very long time. each one of us got the new BLNG E-Kawal as you can see up there and i think i am the only one with a full name printed on. bloody. we are now divided to our own sections. im now part of the Utilities section along with 6 others. 3 are sent to Refinery and the rest are in Process section.



went for lens survey yesterday with the love. im still deciding of which to get. paning. anyways, the left one was taken using Tokina 11-16mm and the right one with Sigma 10-20mm. the picture quality... yeah Photoshop stuff. too lazy on the Sigma one. heh. i like the 10-20mm first-hand-result better than the Tokina but the Tokina has a good reputation in terms of dark lighting conditions as said by a friend.. or should i get a Standard Zoom lens first? hrrrrm.

going to Nazira later in the afternoon for a sleepover. we're going to have a National Day marching rehearsal at the stadium and im too lazy to go on the bus from KB. i don't want to wake up at 4 in the morning... and miss the breakfast at Orchid Garden. heh.

goodluck to both the Love and Aimi for the BLNG Written Test this coming Tuesday.

just got back from DST for some bill payment. waiting for lunch. quite a relief to wake up with superfine weather outside. some things concerned me a lot though. especially regarding the rumours of high tide starting from 4th to 7th this month which said possibility to cause flooding. let's just pray and hope it won't be like the last. the worst in 42 years as very well informed by RTB newsreader last night.

Chemistry paper is tommorow and most of my notes are left at Nazira. bloody. that means that i need to go back to Jerudong early later. probably around 1.30pm. my pendrive is a piece of junk right now and im quite pissed about it since it contained all the things from our Anniversary. ahhhh. semua nda kena.




mana buleh nada gambarku. thanks to Nazi for the picture.

oh my, finally, some rest from everything. i thought im going to be extra busy with End Test continously until next Monday up until Daus told me there's actually a 2 days gap between Engineering Drawing and Chamistry paper. maybe short lived but that's what i really need for now. moreover to lie asleep half dead whatever on my very own bed at home sweet home.

speaking of Engineering Drawing, we had the test earlier this morning. it wasn't that bad except i couldn't finish up some very small details of the last question and drawing an inverted version of what was actually asked in the first question. 2 hours for 3 drawings and one theory... 10 minutes more would be enough in my case. being a little more observant would help a lot as well. 4 more reports to be done. 2 of which are paired with Radhi. hopefully can finish them up soon.





last Saturday night was awesome. we had BLNG and Refinery Emblem Night 2008 at Rizqun Songket Ballroom. my second Emblem after Brunei Shell HD Emblem when i was still in OGDC just last year. same case, i was involved in a stage sitcom again. on a much smaller role this time, as one of the delivery boy alongside Nafi, comparing with the last one where i was the hero's sidekick. our sitcom was about how bad an effective fast body slimming pogram can turn out. again, there were guys who became girls. not to be mentioned who. haha. the acting was quite a mess but Alhamdulillah, we got the THIRD place! im very satisfied with the result because we only practiced for 3 bloody days! moreover, with the busy schedule at school.








also took place were the award ceremony for long service employees, performances by local artists and dances by some dancing studio. looking at the fantastically decorated ballroom, the attendees; how gorgeously they dress, the marvelous taste of the food.. it makes me miss the whole thing about school prom. well, in a way, it was a prom. an upgraded and more costly one. as for myself, i had a splendid night. i know we all did, didn't we?




thanks very much to JaiMimi for lending me her 28-135mm lens. i enjoyed it very much. my new Canon 430 EX II as well. man, i wouldn't know even a single drop of what to do properly if Edy didn't show me any. i was all about taking picture that night. not really that nice pictures but.. yeah. i think i want to be an event photographer.





so right during the after party the photographers kinda borrowed the dancers for a while for some photoshoot. not a tryout chance to be missed. pictures of the whole group were all not good. either overexposed, wrong speedlite concentration or too dark.






hope the pictures are as nice as they looked on my laptop. they turned out not the same when i opened them up on my desktop i chose to let it remain unchanged despite confusion. on the other hand, my External HDD is currently out of space. i need to get a new one since i've used up 99% of Arjen's memory card. need a new one. oh, and i hope it's not too late to say a very Happy Chinese New Year.





next term we will be back in BLNG. then some will be going to Process, some Utility and some will be far away at Refinery... first time 18 of us will be saperated. i wonder how would that turn out..
