Kids

2008-10-26T19:10:00.002+08:00

Been super lazy this past few weeks. Perhaps it's the Hari Raya mood still ongoing.
Today tried to capture a friend's kids at play. Then trying my hand in editing photos using Adobe Lightroom...

Red eye

2008-09-22T19:30:00.002+08:00

Bird we usually called 'Slangkir', probably because of the red eyes. Most people don't keep these as pets. Not sure why...
I was waiting for these birds to feed during the rain this afternoon. They always flew away when I got ready to shoot. This is the best shot of the birds.

Been a long time since I put something in this blog. I was on leave from 26th till 30th June. But fate intervened when my father had chest pains on Saturday 28th and he was admitted to ICU late at night on 29th June. From then on, I was very busy and worried.
He was referred to JPMC on 1st July and they decided to do a cardiac bypass on him. The family was informed by then and we were very anxious. Father was in a lot of pain, and he wanted to get the surgery over with as soon as possible. My siblings were triple anxious and scared as they knew it was a matter of life and death. Here lies the man who grew us up and this is a sudden shock to all of us, his children. Even mother was speechless...
Our relatives poured in after hearing the news. They came from belait, temburong and brunei muara. I was basically touched by their love of father. Anyways, I was also involved during that week with teaching first aid to some brunei shell staff. I texted my supervisor and he told me not to worry about the classes.
The surgeon spoke to us on Wednesday and they decided to operate on my father the following day. On that day, I was running all over to complete my errands before going to JPMC. I didn't sleep the night before. We held a prayer shortly before father entered the OT. Seven hours later, they finished, alhamdulillah, all went well...
Well, I visited father from that day onwards, travelling from seria everyday after my teaching session, reaching JPMC around 6 pm and going back to seria after visiting hour concludes, which is at 9 pm...
Our prayers were answered when father was taken off the ventilator and transferred to the general ward and discharged one day before His Majesty's birthday.
I went to offshore on the 15th July for two weeks. Intended to take leave, but our relief was accepted to join the Ship For Asean Youth. So leave plans are frozen for the time being...
Anyways, father is recovering. I am not exactly swamped with work, just pacing it...kalau disiapkan awal2..nda tah ada kan di buat nanti...hehehehe....

bsp syndrome

2008-06-18T19:37:00.000+08:00

Not feeling well 2-3 hari ani. Iatah membari malas time kraja ani damam2. Lambat kan baik jawapnya tu. My roommate pun damam jua. Probably the weather yg inda menantu for the past couple of weeks. I remembered one Dutch surgeon mentioning in his clinical notes about patients coming to see him in his clinic. The BSP syndrome (Batuk, Selsema, Panas), hehehe...nice jargon to know....
Just did some minor housekeeping on my work email. Lama dah my cousin nda ngantar email. This is a funny picture he sent me.

This is somewhere in Brunei. Nda tau lah di mana. Yeah, the famous slogan, 'If broken, considered sold''..hehehehe...

reunions

2008-06-16T22:46:00.000+08:00

The weekend was interesting. Bangun awal on Saturday cos I've got a course on 'Triage Instructor" at RIPAS. Batah dah nda ke sana, especially to Accident & Emergency...
The morning was wet and slippery. I was on my way from Seria and using the famous Seria bypass. Saw a car overturned on the other lane near the 3rd Battalion's junction. Wasn't planning on stopping as conditions were dangerous, banyak gi kerita laju2. So, I continued on my journey...
Sampai di RIPAS around 7.30 am, malas kan round2 cari parking, so tarus tah park arah parking bebarai...hehehehe. Actually looking forward to know siapa2 saja dangan course ani.
Managed to find the right room to gather in ER (thanks to Siti Hawa), and was pleasantly surprised to see one my former classmates in the course (Za Hairmey). We caught up on old stories..hehehe...she hasn't changed a lot, still pretty much all around pleasant and funny girl. Btw, she's now a tutor at the nursing college...proud of my intake...hehehe...
One of our former classmates was supposed to join us for the course. Rupanya ia lupa, and at that time ia kraja di Temburong. Hahahaha...tarustah kedia balik ke Bandar for the course.
So, there we were...bekumpul...walaupun nda ramai, tapi cukup utk membuka old stories. Hehehe...sesi menganyam ketupat..
The course was allright, participation was okay. I did managed to relive my acting skills in role play session. Layak jua jadi pelakon x ah...hahahaha...
Enjoyed that whole day. Skeptical at first, but overall, ada jua benefitsnya. Congrats for the good work, organisers. Hopefully, banyak lagi our nurses and medical officers yang get knowledge and benefits from the courses you guys conduct.
Btw, a dear friend just text'd me tonite. For all 8th intake nursing college students, ada dh blog baru, 8thintake.blogspot.com...kalau ada time, masuk2 lah melawat ke blog atu...
Isuk aku ke laut..kraja..Insha Allah, aku cuti minggu dapan, batah dh nda cuti, kan rehat kan utak...

lepak

2008-06-11T00:02:00.000+08:00

Today was another 'menalor' day. The weather was moody at first but then it got better towards the evening. I have planned to run my NT1 today with a friend. But fate intervened and all plans went out of the window. So, jawapnya, 2 minggu akan datang lah baru NT1 ku kluar track...
On my way back from Seria shops, I cruised around the Shell housing area. I saw one guy fixing lights outside his house. Mcm kenal?? Member main raga rupanya. He just moved from Bandar 2 weeks ago and just settling in. Btw, the wife went to the same college with me. We were quite close then. Geng kras lah..kira2 nya...hehehe...
So, I stopped and singgah lah. Caught up with old stories and nda sadar, labih dua jam dh lepak di rumahnya. Baik jua nda sampai pagi...
Anyways, CSI NY is on..one of my favourite series. New season on AXN...
Isuk ke bandar. Gotta make some payments for some things I ordered online...

2008-06-07T19:44:00.000+08:00

2008-06-06T22:21:00.001+08:00

Ani kan cuba mengambar pakai digital slr...dulu blajar mengambar pakai film slr...tapi batah dh stop. Time constraint and too many commitments. Now, with 2 weeks off work in one month..sort of ada time to play around with cameras once more...

back to basics

2008-06-06T22:08:00.000+08:00

Almost four days sudah off ni. Not much was done except going to the office and getting briefed on future courses. Met up with friends and decided to engage in something we left off for the past six months. Awu..nada sport bah...batah dh nda bepaluh...
Well, we managed to gather at least 4 orang utk this sport...yeah, sepak takraw. Kan kepisan plang bemain..biasa 6 orang, ani mcm Doha Games...hehehehe...
But today was great. Cukup geng..6 orang..yeehaaa...mambang dahi and biji asam. Batah dah nda bepaluh..sekali sekala siuk jua...
Next activity planned for this weekend..aku kan run my completed Tamiya TRF416...plus kan run my XRay NT1...alum properly set up...nda mau shift and something wrong with the tranny...hopefully nda ujan this weekend, dapat jua me and the geng test our remote control cars...hehehehe...the pic above is the box of my Tamiya. Took three days to assemble the kit. Banyak iklan bah..kalau nda, memang dh siap awal. Pics of the completed car will come soon....

an intro

2008-05-26T18:55:00.000+08:00

This is a first attempt in blogging. I've been reading the blogs people create and thought...hmmm...i should give this a try...
Today was an uneventful one. Nda banyak kraja and lots of time to kill. When you're working 12 hour shifts for two weeks, your job and tasks are planned ahead. The upside is you have two weeks of off shifts to look forward to...hehehe...and maybe two weeks of careful spending spree...
