Rendezvous Connection

“Sweets”/ “Candies” / “Delicacies” in French. Gourmandizes was released in August 2001, this is the fourth single by Alizee. The French pop princess self-titled album writes about teenage life, doubts, love and her greediness. As for my own personal consumption, luring some French men challenging the deadly scorching Borneo sun is the pipe dream I perceive from listening to this bubblegum chic. Thus becoming potential “urgent sanitary repatriation cases back to France needing consular assistance”. Doubting right now, I rather selfishly not have any dangerous men from France and avoid the extra work load and keep my not-so-peaceful mind just listening to J’en Ai Marre, Alizee’s fifth single (Feb 2003) which means “I’m Fed Up”. This brings me to why J’en Ai Marre, it’s to do with the innumerable suitors already in line in the Asian region. (I don't need some extra French men in the local Brunei scene now do I?). Charter away the flight full of French toy boys’ sweet talkers Chippendales from Champs Elysees cos’ I’m clearly not equipped for this. Instead, I will have 2 croissants, a cup of cafĂ© au lait for breakfast and for evening tea, 10 sips of wine to my good health. Salut!

Are you hooked on it?


We are! Every weekend, we would have friends over, rocking the game. Having two guitars are great. I would be playing the bass. The rest would be just drumming and singing. Its great that we have a mic stand too incase we're short of one band member. Other than that, I'm pretty new to rock band and lets just say its addictive. The game may have a steep price tag but its worth every penny. Just like what Nickelback said in their fifth U.S single, "Cause we all just wanna be big rockstars. Livin in top houses. Drivin fifteen cars. The girls come easy and the drugs come cheap. We'll all stay skinny cuz we just won't eat." Ya' feeling what I'm feeling? Time to bring out the wannabe rockstar in all of us, are you musically challenged?

Me & my kissy kisses & smoochy woochies!

I have been bumming in my room a lot lately. Dad on the other hand was smacked with divorce letters three days ago. I guess things will be finalized soon. Mom however has fallen ill. Brother has moved in with his girlfriend and is going to stay in India for 6 months. All the drama going on in the family and sis who is in Colorado has no clue about everything. I’ll fill you in with what happened few days ago: NJ and I went to the pantai restaurant to have our seafood feast. Food wasn’t all that great but it’s been a while since I’ve dined in there. We went for a stroll down the beach. It was calm and dreamy. NJ is like the man with lots of plans and tonight he has a Bruneian themed party to go to. I wonder how he looks in a songkok. It would be hilarious with his blonde hair and all. He reckons I should come in a tudong but na…I’ll skip this one out. Instead I was out with Beckim, we talked about how sexy the chics at Kosovo was and how complex it was for Beckim to get hold of a girl in Brunei. Beckim is of Turkish and Kosovian mix, been in Brunei for 7 years. We’re friends from Uni, 4 years ago. It was good catching up with him and to know that Damier is now married living in Finland. I have so much more to talk about but we’ll leave that for next time.

just.another.face

At first I thought it was a rather cute picture but when you really look at it, its much of an upset. I was told that this was a reflection on the culture of the modern society. Everyone's toonie expressions looks like they've got the blues. The highlighted one might be a reflection of loneliness. Loneliness is a norm in this current day of life compared to our fathers' days. Could technology be to blame? The colour blue maybe depicting the blurring of boundaries between self and the people around. Questioning about society would be what everyone is thinking.
