Nemo on Ice

Watching Disney real-life is like a child's dream come true...and so it was also my childhood's dream come true.

They played out the whole movie...the colours, the costumes, the props, the songs and the dance...it was mesmerising.

We bought matinee show tickets for seats at the side of the rink. Fortunately for us, the turnout for that show was only about 50%. The usherers were really nice and flexible. They allowed us to move to any empty seats we wanted to. So we chose the best seats available!

While we were there, we also managed to do a little shopping in Bandar and had a great lunch. For dinner, on our back in KB, nothing beats Escapade Sushi...nothing raw for me though. Once you have tried Escapade, no Japanese Restaurant in KL or Singapore come anywhere near it. Generous with the ingredients and portion of servings, it is lip-smacking and value for money.

Fortunately (or unfortunately) for me, I was stopped by the police twice today. The first time, a regular road block and I was asked my drivers license. The second time, I was asked to pull over on the highway. My friends and I was thinking, drat! I must have violated the speed limit! Turned out that it wasn't related to speed limits at all. It was because my car's windscreen tint was not allowed in Brunei. It wasn't my first time driving my car there and it was never a problem previously. We managed to sweet talk our way out of any summons, but in exchange, promised to have our windows down (so no air-conditioning whenever we were near the city).

All in all, today was a truly interesting day.

Friendships aren't the way they used to make them

A friend is always there for you, standing by you in good and bad times.

A friend will extend a helping hand when you need it.

A shoulder to cry on, a pillar of strength when your life seems upside down.

A soulmate, someone to listen to your worries or complaints.

Wasn't it much simpler to believe all that when we were kids? Unconditional friendships that can last forever.

When you attain adulthood, there are so many factors to consider.

Friendships are no longer that simple... You need to tread carefully.

Else, a simple friendship can get complicated, a well-intentioned gesture can lead to perplexities.

Friendships just aren't the way they used to make them...

I am still alive!

It's been so long since I blogged. More than a month now.

Anyways, gotta keep this short. Don't have the time to blog so much at the moment.

Seeing numbers flying around me as I type this...maklumlah, major budget exercise going on.

But I am still alive & kickin', yay! AND I finally got my transfer officialised on 1 June, double yay!

Catch is, transfer form was signed by my boss in exchange for my signature on the confirmation form, haha.

That's ok, eventually I had to come to terms with my confirmation of employment. Also had to give my word that I will be stickin' around here for at least another 2 years...unless circumstances beyond my control change.

Hopefully, the new job keeps me happily on my toes, and that includes having a good boss and colleagues.

We'll see. Wish me luck!
