I'm back~

Hello old ladies~ miss you ladies lots... finally i have time to sit down and read your blogs. I've read lizzy's, mama's and a few of mimi's one. Too much malay so need more time to digest it *blushed*
I used to think that my malay is enough to allow me to communicate with most people. Now i know i had over-estimated myself. I feel blank a lot of times during my attachment. Is my malay too standard or their malay too 'brunei'?

Ok.. some updates about my december:

6th - 8th December, 2009 : I was SUDDENLY appointed as an AJK for a motivational camp (MESRA1) that involved students from 5 or 6 technical schools in Brunei. It's a 3 days 2 nights camping and the venue is the mechnical workshop and forestry unit of my school. I stayed back on the first night, enduring the heat and mosquitoes and came home on monday late afternoon. Then, left home at 5am the next morning so i could make it on time to join the morning exercise.
Overall, it was fun, though tiring. If i were a student, i'd definitely enjoy it. But not too bad lah because i ran/walked around together with the students.
So, i ended up very tired due to all the walkings and lack of sleeps. Unfortunately, i still had to go to school on the 9th (no permission to go to work late or have a day break).

10th - 13th December 2009 (HIGHLIGHT OF THE MONTH):
Finally i got to go to Kuala Belalong Field Study Centre!!! I love it love it love it! I miss being in a forest. Somemore, this forest is the most challenging forest i've ever gone into. So steep and slippery yet so challenging! I was soo mean; i laughed when my students fell down :p
The best part of the trip was, i got to play in a river and under a mini waterfall. It was awesome! The water was soo cold and the flow was soo quick. There was one point we all held hands together and just went with the flow. Then we reached somewhere deep where none of us could reach the bottom of the water. We were panic at first then the security guards dragged us back to the river bank. Once i reached the river bank, the first question i asked my HOD was, can we do it again??
I defnitely want to go back there again. Will upload the pictures in my facebook. I also went to the famous canopy walk! Oh my god! The view was fantastic!!! Words can't describe what i saw and how i felt about this trip. I highly recommend everyone of you to go to Belalong at least once. You're going to love it! I'm thinking about a vacation at the Belalong Resort already because i didn't get to go to the suspension bridge at that time.
Hehe i feel a bit guilty. I was supposed to bring my students there to learn but i ended up playing with them and treated the trip as my vacation. I also made a friend there. He's a chinese ecologist from malaysia, currently setting up a 25 ha vegetation plot in the Belalong forest. Good luck to him!

14th - 17th December, 2009:
4 days attachment at Brunei Agricultural Research Centre (BARC). Not too bad but i honestly think we could have done more stuffs. During the attachment, i learnt how to prepare media for tissue culture and how to do initial and sub cultures of plants. At the end of the attachment, we were given a written exam and i got 94% so i guess not too bad lah. In actual fact, the exam was super simple.

18th - 20th December, 2009:
My KK shopping trip!! It was my first time flying with AirAsia, it was also my first time flying together with my mom. My first time to 1 Borneo too. Strictly speaking, we only had 2 days in KK but we managed to go to 1 Borneo, Wisma Merdeka, Suria, Metro Jaya, CentrePoint, Gaya Street and Warisan Square. Spent B$400 cash and about $200 by card (I love VISA debit ^_^)
Bought few outfits for chinese new year. Once again, i bought more than i intended. Hmm... my pocket is slimmer now but myself is getting fatter. Terrible~ *sniff*sniff
I'm still thinking should i upload the pictures i took in KK to facebook. Can see my fats bah *blushed*

Actually, there are lots more things i want to type it here but it's getting late now, almost 11pm. I should sleep soon as i haven't got enough rest eversince the camping started. This post may be long but believe me, it's not even half of the things i wanted to share with you all. Anyway, will talk about it again next time.

This week:
24th December, 2009: Going to my cousin's birthday party in KB
