Fatty Porky Kebabs in UK

woaaahhh~ This is shocking. The pork content! Not the Fat contents of a Kebab! In the UK too! Arghhhhhhhhh! Check this out....

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/7852168.stm

Six kebabs were found to include pork when it had not been declared as an ingredient. Two of the six were described as Halal - food or drink permitted for Muslims, which must not contain pork.

Mr Theobald said it was "totally unacceptable" that people with certain faiths were unknowingly eating meats that were against their beliefs.

Among the kebabs sampled - without salad or sauces - the average doner contained 98% of an adult's recommended daily salt and 148% of their daily saturated fat allowance.


Ha ha ha.. darn!

Three Stooges? Three Muskeeteers? Do Re Mi? Call them what you want! They come in threes.. some people jaga durang di dapan Jolibee macam Human Tetris sudah menyambut in case ada belari off to the staircase by Express.. keh keh keh...
Neneks were late for their 3pm flight... due to the flood around Bunut, Jangsak etc..they had to turn and keep rerouting , eventually drove through Jerudong to get to the airport.. he he he...

Unconvenience

I clicked on an English version on a foreign website..this popped out..so funny.. my bad! But no wonder the English version is under construction..they couldnt even figure out the word is inconvenience, not unconvenience..sorry peeps.. this seems funny to me..but it shows how important the English language is as a business language.

New Year Cry Baby



Today Raiyan wore his own shirt.. he usually does and ended up slipping one hand outta the head gap hehe...

Today Raiyan also climbed down the stairs unsupervised! Mumzie's shift... but I was fiddling with the phone and Daddy O was having a nap... I thought Raiyan was seated near the tv set hehehe... then I heard his voice outside.. no wonder he was quiet for too long.. he wasnt in the room! he he he.. Technically it was Daddy O's fault, he forgot to lock the safety gate by the staircase.... and Mumzie played a little part only by forgetting to close the bedroom door properly.

"Why did you do that?" , ah Daddy O? heheheh Anyway.. we say this phrase to Raiyan a lot.. and didnt realise he has been saying "dadadadadat" to his two cousins when they did something wrong... but one day Babu Rina heard the lines blurted out clearly hahaha....

At Giant.. he knows the place has a play gym.. so we went into the KFC side at the far end..but ended up crying as usual.... he wanted to play hahha..Plan A didnt work.
He cried 3x by the play gym..got run over by bigger kids hehee.. then he started instructing NO! NO! with his forefinger to every kid that swept past him... boleh tahan jua...defence nya.

He also climbed up the ladder on his own and I was shocked to see him up there.. I thought he was circling the area.... hehehe alas.. Daddy O, please dont be that careless again on Mumzie's watch... Daddy O was busy looking for something to drink while Mumzie was huffing and puffing fixing her hair while watching Raiyan...

Ah... I keep giving alms today.. a very good start... and it is for SMARTER as well.... kids with autism.. you dont know how much these kids need your help.... not because they are special..cos they havent really got many choices here to develop emotionally and academically.. but goverment will and has intervene further.... and MOE has helped many , they do have a Special Unit as well.... so every cent counts to help the organisation do more. Start giving today. Everyday if you can. *deep* emosi yo*

iRaiyan 2009 - A Year of Blogging

Welcome 2009.

It has been a hectic forth quarter for me and the family... except for mum and dad maybe who is still on the waiting list for the UK trip since the 22nd Dec 2008... sorry folks.... though I did say to the Director General that I wasnt sorry that you guys are still here hehehehehheheehhehehehehehe....

2009 started with fireworks all over Lambak... I went to watch the spectacular night on my verandah, shamefully alone.. as Raiyan and Daddy O were still on their third trip at trying to make Raiyan fall asleep.... (here they come.. he is asleep now)


Anyway there were over 30 spots of firework display outside.. it was a great experience...can you imagine my new year turned out to be exciting in the end.. alone but I didnt miss the celebration...I also heard it was this happening in Rimba and Jerudong. My family in Jerudong has gone deaf or so I heard through sms hehehe....

15 mins later...

*puff* *puff* Mumzie was out dancing with Daddy O on the balcony...more like shoving it up daddy's forcing him to dance hahaa.... there is a party up the road...plus DJ and down the road the chinese neighbours are getting drunk over a 'clean' round of card tricks... sure... yeah right... hehehehe....

Hey it turned out to be a good night in after all....

My plans for 2009. I hate resolutions... so I'm gonna skip that.. what I know is..

1. I will have a huge tailoring bill... in preparation for Didi a.k.a Alia's Wedding on the 16th, 18th and 25th January...

2. I also learnt that she is now Alia *lol* and I found out earlier the handsome colleague I was talking about is Ha'adi's brother ha ha ha.... small world. Hi di.. jan marahh... hehehe...

3. I have to finish my Action Plan for 2009 and review 2008 events.

4. I *phear* 2009 working trips.. I hope I wont have to do any European rounds.. uwaaaaaaaaaaa... I dont wanna leave RL behind againnnn.. nooooo....

5. I am very excited about my work now though .. as always actually...anything I put my mind to is exciting for me.. or I'll leave. Anyway.... cant wait to see what 2009 has in store for me... very very hectic it will get....but on a different agenda now.. we have Childhood Policy to finish and a Ukraine thing.... what are they good at? Any tips? For example, I am excited that Russia will set up base here in Brunei, in the hope that we can recruit our children , the nation to be astronauts...or cosmonauts... maybe Physics major, anyone? Who knows... who knows.... it doesnt hurt to dream :)

6. I am also excited that Brunei is also offering the International Baccalaureate... yes.. according to the internet 131 countries in 2600 schools and 360,000 students are doing it or has done it.. I think those are the figure.. a very difficult diploma that IB is... ( There are about 194 countries to date)

7. I am still positively trying to uplift the nation's quality in terms of education and exposure... not no positive colourings on the pregnancy test this year..sorry neneks ..no cucu for you from me this year.. at least I said 'this year' , not 'ever'. *grins*

8. I am still addicted to the internet and a certain vampire *please dont judge me* hahaha... it feels like I'm 16 again.. the boys are getting sick of it by now I guess.. obssessed with an Edward Cullen.. hahhaahahaha... odd but cute.. just the vampire side of the guy... so I get Hani to read the books and reviw plus the internet reviews and spoilers.. I dont have time to read these kind of stuff.. I am only into that deadly look.. grrrr.... bite me! I am always saying bite me usually at inappropriate times.. hahaha ..

9. I also need to throw Raiyan his 2nd birthday party...serious~ Neneks have been flying and I have been flying too so we couldnt sort a time to have the party. Syazwan is leaving too... tskkk..

10. I have found my peace. *sigh* I still need to sink that in. so no futher elaboration on that.

11. ohmigosh! I need to hand over my work to SMSSA... hahaha darn... and the laptops will be ready by 3rd Jan I think...or so the ICT MOE said once we sorted it out....

12. I am thankful for the people around me, the ones who have inspired me and trusted me with many confidential and non-confidential issues.. you know who you are... I am very thankful for our leaders, school and office.... my great mentors including my colleagues at school and office who has been meaningful contributors to my success.

13. I am thankful for facebook , where I have found my old friends..... and made some new ones who I never really knew but see around on daily basis from time to time... I truly am thankful for facebook hahaha..I found Anthony and Ade... Hi you guys.. missing for over 10 years the two lads were... one in Seattle now and the other is in the UK.... so thanks facebook.. I hope I wouldnt get too addicted like most of yew.. :P hahahaha....

14. I need to sort out a few 'issues'. *sighs* Unsolved and I dont think I can work my way around them.. as durable as I am..some things are just meant to sort itself out by itself. Only Anthony knows... dont be jealous now peeps.. it feels so good to tell someone.. love ya Anthony... lots and forever... I do love the rest of you..for the record.. but you wouldnt let me get away with anything or would say to me " I wish I could hug you" ...noooooo! You would sit me down and spank me nonetheless.. whatever you might say in your defence.... :P :P *Blurgh*

On that note, I havent done anything terrible. Swear... ha ha ha... phew it feels so nice to be able to swear cyberly and not physically near any of you.. he he he...

With that I end the night.

Wait... not with that! Sordid!

15. I would also like to say thank you to my darling husband *smack* *boom* *kweng* who is such a great guy, my soulmate , who sees through my flaws and worships me day in day out, or so I'd like to think.... He is the best around you know.. but I am glad you dont know that...as I'd like to keep him to myself and not share with any of you out there... hehehehehhehehehehehehehehhehehehehehehe.... there... now that I can leave you with.

16. Also Mumzie needs to fix the 'hair' (this is also a reason why that Pizza delivery guy didnt get any tips as he looked shocked at seeing my pyjamas and couldnt stop staring at my hair) and I will have sexier eyes this year however.. hahaha buleeeh... ada kah bali contact lens chestnut yo tadi di Mall.... try not to stare into my eyes if you dont wanna be mesmerised... he he he and I realise I am still as humble as I was in 2008.. ha ha ha ha ha....

17. I am also worried about Raiyan's education for 2009 - the decision to put Raiyan in school now or not?... then there is that choice decision.. Chung Hwa? Jigsaw? ISB? JIS? That's it..our son will only start school at age 7...just like Daddy O and I have decided a while ago he he he he.....and to a school of his choice..... I dont have the strength to be away from Raiyan hehehee... or leave him at school actually.. that latter note is actually what I meant to say.. the strength part is just a gimmick .. only fans of the vamps will understand what I am trying to say here :)

Over and Out. Happy New Year audience. Muafakat Membawa Berkat. Hafal kan tu.. slogan January tuuuu.. hehehehe... semangat....

*applause* NOW!

31 December 2008

I left my heart in 2008

*sigh* I am leaving 2008 with a bruised ego and an open mind (so tempting to put a broken heart just to be melodramatic haha) .. ahh.. funny I still am I guess.. that's a good sign.

Oh well.. the last day of 2008. It was a very solemn day for me actually. I got to see both of our major mosques the SOAS and Ja'me mosques... to find solitude... to drain my sorrows ... to wash away all my sins.... eseh keh keh keh. (there we go.. another attempt at dramatising the whole thing hehehe)

Here is the truth.. I am leaving 2008:

1. very rich ..hahahaa... I havent really seen the bonus figure.... also overspending with all the oversea trips since June actually.

2. I learnt that mellow dramatic is also spelt melodramatic.. there I learnt something new today..hahaha....

3. I left a few men heartbroken in 2008, including that Pizza delivery guy who I didnt give any tip for being late keh keh keh...
4. But I did pay my alms today... contributed some money to the mosque petty cash and some money for the special needs via KFC box....

5. I learnt to shape the nation in a different and productive light now...

6. I left the teaching post I dedicated my whole life to but effort wasnt wasted, some people will carry on my legacy... *deep* , especially after the conversation I had at Royal Regalia about how Brunei is moulding the future slowly but progressively and a Malaysian counterpart said slow and developing is good as you dont lose the values by rushing through the nitty gritty of it all.
7. I also had a close encounter with ... my personal flag.... yeah mun paham bisai..hehehe
8. Fireworks I hear fireworksssss.... it is 2 minutes to midnight... oh wait my phone says 5 minutes.. haha...

9. A growin Raiyan who keeps saying 'don wan' lately.. either he meant to call him Don Juan or he doesnt want anything that we have offered him so far. You decide.

10. Today was the most indecisive day. Siblings couldnt decide what to do tonight~ Empire? Ban? Dont know...

11. Apparently, tonight Daddy O also learnt and hopefully the only time he has to take Raiyan for a third consecutive ride to make him fall asleep.. ( I dont think the fireworks are helping and I'm gonna go to the verandahhh to watch that.. back in a bit) *this point will resume in 2009 blog hehe*

12. I ended up doing the countdown alone.. Daddy O and Raiyan is out.... for a ride... hope he sleeps this time , this third time ... he left and he came back and I heard Raiyan's laughter again coming down the stairs earlier..then they left again... then he woke up again requesting the baby seat as he wanted to go on a ride again. SO they went again.

13. Anyway , this morning I really was at two mosque, on duty as Liason Officer for the 2nd Joint Working Group Malaysia 2008 delegates, we also had a glimpse of the Istana Nurul Iman in the morning.. and I learnt that the grassy area near the gates of the palace is actually a Polo field...can you believe it.. I just thought it was a landscape area to enjoy as you cruise in....


Good bye 2008.
Oh also, 14. MoFAT also labelled me 'Miss Yellow Pages' for being informative and I dont mind being resourceful but it was a little embarrassing to claim I'd done fine in front of the whole Ministries involved in the Human Rights Review meeting yesterday... hehehe...

15. I also learnt the MOE Vision and Mission by heart the past few days... accidently but brilliant...I should chant it hehehe.. and I made new name cards.

16. Also I thought I would actually have my last lunch alone. I dont eat alone. I did once this year and it was odd to me.. today I was too busy at Rizqun and would have ended up having lunch alone while waiting for the delegates to freshen up for their trip back home, so... along came Polly... I mean a handsome colleague of mine .... you know who you are ha ha.. so I had lunch at KFC with him, thanks for keeping me company.

17. I also met one of my best friend Ekka at the airport..so it was pleasant but I didnt get to say good bye.. hello you~ *waves*

18. I left Ukraine on my desk. *tick* *tock* and my heart in San Francisco, more like Old Airport Road kekekekekeke~

19. The Director General finished our Child's Policy Seminar Report for us.. feeling guilty but she does produce great work so basically thankful that she took charge, I have made a few contribution as well ..so we can say half of what needed to be done at work is done for 2008. 2009 shall be hectic.. in terms of tuning back in ... been a lethargic week actually.... good for us all... needed the rest. ...too many off days as well but hey.. why not enjoy it?

20. I'm going.... goinggg.... goingg... gone! I also need to learn to write in SEQUENCE as I used to preach in class! har har har..... sort the events out yourself. Homework for you lot.
