HBO Served Here

HBO Served Here Swiped from TactixCreative . HBO is lovely. To date, I have watched "Troy" five times, "G.I. Joe" three times, "Star Trek" six times and "Dark Knight" twice. Reruns. The essence of pay TV. Yum Yum Yum. Ooohh... time to catch "Watchmen" for the second time! Pick you jaw up from floor. I just leave the TV on and listen from my room while I'm online. Hehe. Anyway, any movie that you can watch over and over again? Please don't say "Titanic". I beg you.

Bedtime Stories

Snoring Husband Swiped from BRS Facial Spa . Zzz... snrk... zzzzz... snrkkk!! Yes, my roommate snores. He goes from zero to snoring in 30 seconds. That's quite something, right? ( actually KH also holds a similar record ) Honestly, snorers don't bother me. Somehow I manage to filter out the sound. Even so, I am grateful that KH does not snore. I don't think I snore either, but I do know that I used to talk in my sleep. Would sometimes sit up in bed and mumble something unintelligible and then shut up. Years back, I had a roommate who did the same thing. One night it would be me. On another night, it would be him. I really wonder if I mumbled out any secrets at those times~~ "mumble.. I masturbated on your bed this afternoon... mumble" My mother on the other hand, grits her teeth. And it's quite loud! Not good for the teeth le. Well, back to my roommate. His snoring is actually quite useful. Whenever I hear his snoring, I would know that the coast is clear

Food Options

Economy rice in Penang Swiped from fortesfidelis . Although there are quite a number of shops selling decent food near my hotel, my roommate and I still narrow our choice down to two. People are always like that. Less choices, they complain. Too many choices, they cannot decide. So for me, it's always either Sui Heng or Golden Leaf . Why? I guess it's the price and taste. It's the only two shops selling decent Chinese mixed rice. And the letter even has roasted items like pork ribs and duck. I think the waitresses at both shops come to expect seeing us there. Not surprised if this is what they whisper under their breath: "Here comes the cilaka migrant worker who only take the BND3.00 mixed rice and drink warm water" They don't even bother to ask us anymore these days. Haha. At least over here, fish is counted the same like any other meat. In KL... "Fish ma, sure more expensive!" Do you have a regular shop that you go to?

Thien Thien Swiped from williamnyk . Out of boredom, we arranged a free shuttle service to The Mall , Gadong on Saturday. Turns out that the hotel I'm staying in is managed by a huge real estate group that also owns The Mall and a string of other properties around town. Hence the free ride. My roommate and I were chauffered over in a cool black MPV with automatic doors. Didn't manage to catch the make and model though. The Mall is quite big really, but the location really leaves a lot to be desired. Located just beside the highway, but the exit is a giant roundabout that is really difficult for Bruneian drivers as they are really not gung-ho enough on the road. And you know what? To get into the shopping mall, one has to go through a small road that snakes around the Pasar Gadong ( a food haven for all things cheap and loaded with hydrocarbons ). To cut a long story short, we finished The Mall in just under forty five minutes. Arguably better retail space than in Yaya

Rishi Swiped from Motohashimarabia . Truth be told, I have never opened my palette to guys of Indian descent before. In the early days of 1515 dial-up, I had a thing for Caucasians. Then that shifte to Jap, Chink and more Jap. Well, I have oogled at some hot specimens like Rishi Idnani, but that's about it. And so, it came as a surprise to me when I had a skanky dream about an Indian dude. One of those elaborate dreams where I was skulking in the underground HQ of a cult ( no idea if it was a sado-masochstic gay cult, but a cult lo ). I raced from chamber to chamber, avoiding detection ( more Austin Powers than James Bond slick ). But in the end, I was discovered by an Indian lab assistant. I dunno what he was doing there, but for all I know he was devising some evil cult lubricant. He caught my wrist and the next thing I know, I had pulled him close and started kissing him ( heroes should always use this move to throw enemies off guard ). The scene kinda blurred from there. F

In my previous post, I mentioned that there were two semi-cuties in my Brunei office. Both are on the opposite spectrum. One medium build. The other small build. One goody-goody. The other bad boy. One hardly smiles. The other has a cheeky grin. One has a long fringe. The other has a ruffled, James Dean look. But today, lets focus on candidate #1, Mr. Goody. Both have skin as white as snow. So, when Mr. Goody has a mark on his neck, it defintely catches the eye. Even my straight colleague noticed: "Wei, is that fella sporting a lovebite?" But the truth of the matter is, it's a perpetual lovebite. Day One~ Still there. Day Two~ Still. Day Three~ Still there. Conclusion? Birthmark lo... Haha. Sorry la, no pics. Use your imagination, k? Wakakaka.

Life Is Never Easi

moses Swiped from fee_rachel . It took a little more than a week to purchase a prepaid sim card starter pack in BSB. In particular, I was looking for Brunei's 'most saleable' prepaid sim card, i.e Easi by DTSCom . In the city center, I went from kiosk to kiosk, shop to shop, but nobody seemeds to sell it. If you want the reload card, they got plenty. Reminds me of Alanis Morisette's lyrics~ "ten thousand spoons when all you need is a fork...". I was nearly giving up, but then I found that there was a DSTCom branch just beneath my balls, at the nearby Yayasan. After lunch, I dashed over and made my purchase. Was thrilled that it took only ten minutes plus registration. FYI, it cost me BND30 for the starter pack with only BND5 credit inside. Unlike in Malaysia, Bruneians get a raw deal with prepaid. BND5 lasts you only 7 days. And each call you pick up is charged BND0.20. My favourite is the fact that if you don't reload the card, your credit will be fo
