immediately after shooting, i went out with Arifin. he gave me this

a Tissot watch for our anniversary. at first he didn't know what to give me because a month ago he bought me lots of things from Indonesia; he has ran out of idea. so, he bought this today :) i love it abang. thanks alot

we went to his friend's house for dinner, apparently there was an engagement informal party going on there. then, Arifin and i cruised around, just to two of us. it was a nice night. just what i need; relaxing time with my man, away from work, away from business at home.

love is in the air~

Arifin and I celebrated our 8th anniversary today. we agreed to split this beautiful day into two; activities and dinner - i took care of the activities and Arifin incharged of dinner.

Arifin picked me up at 3pm sharp :) he was really punctual. we headed straight to Mall Gadong where i planned a couple of activities for us. we went to DeSence Health Care to have foot massages. we sat next to each other with individual chairs of course. it was relaxing and very pleasant.

moments later we watched a movie, Pulau Hantu. i read from the website saying that this is a Horror/Comedy movie. half an hour has past, we were abit scared and asked ourselves "where is the funny part??" hahhahaa... the funny part came towards the end. all in all it was a good indonesian horror movie.

when we were in the car about to leave Mall Gadong, i gave Arifin a gift.

he saw the sunny casing. when he opened it, he laughed. he looked at me and he laughed some more. hehehe.. he loved it, very much. man, i am good~ it fits him perfectly.

later, we had dinner at Wecan, Gadong.

Wecan has a very nice layout; it rather has a romantic vibe. gotta love the TomYam Seafood there. yuuumie.. after dinner we chilled at Master Alim.

it was indeed a great day.

happy happy 8th anniversary abang.. love you always

i promised my brother, Darussani that i will babysit his daughter Sophea weeks ago. since i don't have any shooting today, i decided to babysit Sophea. she looked so...... adorable and innocent.

hahaha.. wait till you spend time with her the whole day~~ this adorable niece of mine doesn't have nap time. which means she was all hyper, running around, asking question 8 hours straight.. hahhaa.. what did i put myself into~~

but it was all good. sophea is very friendly and inteligent. she gets along with everybody and likes to tell stories to people. when she talks she has this serious face expressions. so when we don't really get her pronountiation of words, she kept on talking and talking until we say "owh really? ok~" .. hehehe..

there was this one time when i told her that peanuts in the container are no good and got oxidised (masuk angin). she said to me "ok Sophea go to the other side where there is no air" "Sophea ke sana arah nada angin"... maksudnya supaya inda masuk angin lagi lah tu.. hahahha Sometimes when she misbehaved and i was about to scold her, she did something that always makes me laugh. so in the end i forgot the reason why i want to scold her.

i will definitely babysit her again.. when i had enough sleep the night before that is~

i phoned hjh for a quick outing. i wanted to search a gift for my 8th anniversary with Arifin this coming Monday. we went to HuaHo Manggis, not many sunnies shop there. opz.. heheh i plan to buy him sunnies. he has been looking around to find a perfect fit.

then, we went to Mall Gadong. lots of choices there... when i stepped my foot to World Vision store, i saw this one particular sunnies, Ray-Ban Aviator. it was like love at first sight. without hesitation i bought it.

after that, i felt soooo hungry. so decided to dine-in at fleur-de-lez.

cheese cake~ yyyyuuuummm

it was 7pm, i still didn't feel like going home yet. so i brought hjh to NeoMetro (furniture) Kiulap Branch.

before we stepped out of the car, nice view across the road. it was the Mall Gadong.

ok ok.. then i sent hjh home.. haha.. thanks for accompanying me today hjh~ although it was just a quick one.

after two hectic weeks, i finally had time to spend with Arifin today.

we went to several places namely Jaya Hypermart, HuaHo Kiulap, HuaHo Manggis to search for makeup remover and compact powder (for myself that is~). it is really hard to be a high maintenance woman. foundation, compact powder, make-up stuffs and remover have to be great quality. if not, i will feel irritation on my face and pimples will start to pop-up. all of the 'perfect-match' stuffs i mentioned just now, i bought from Perth. and unfortunately, all of them are not available here. although say, the brand (Revlon) is also in Brunei, the packaging and colour tone is different despite the colour-code is a match with the ones here.

after the endless search, we decided to just chill at Master Alim and continue the search some other time. little that i know, American Idol was playing that night. boy i had a blast. people attended the audition were hilarious. Arifin played pool for abit earlier on and later he sat next to me; we chatted and chatted. soon after, his new friend, Joey at Master Alim approached us and started to have a conversation with us. Joey was told that i am currently studying in Perth so he asked what my course is. i casually answered, 'sport'. he went silent. he asked me again, then i replied "sport science". he looked at Arifin. Arifin asked Joey "she didn't look the part?".. hahha.. i was all dressed up and being lady-like. he surely didn't see that coming~ all in all it was a pleasant night...

i have not seen Arifin for two weeks and tonight was just beautiful. i enjoy today's outing very much

filming started on the 14th, it was great... great to be back on screen. the RegalBlue Production crews are fanstastic as always; very punctual, helpful, organise and fun to work with. my first day went flawlessly; no mistake. second day, the 15th was fine as well. the last shooting day for this week, 16th was not my favourite.. the actors made alot of mistakes; forgot their lines and the disease spread around and finally the disease spreaded to me - takes after takes after takes. *sigh* hehehe.. but the outcomes were fine of course.. hehe..

if i can steal some photos from the director, i will upload the photos for you guys to see~

i was planning to start joining swimming lesson at Sungai Tilong. but, i was late.. YES, dahriah the most punctual person was late. well, i wasn't late purposely. i was helping my parents nagotiating with someone dropping by at our house today, business matter. when i was rushing to Sungai Tilong. the traffic was terrible at 4.45pm. *sigh* you know~ office hours people going home.

since i was 10minutes late. i decided not to start the class today. i just briefly told my coach what i want to achieve after attending 10 lessons. this place is called Brunei Swimming Club; 10 classes B$120, B$20 registration.

this was the second time swimming plans got cancelled. i got really *tut* *tut*... hehehe so i decided to shop... YES!!! SHOPPING IS ALWAYS THE BEST THERAPY. i went to UnderTen to buy WeightBand and coolpads. then i went to HuaHo Manggis to buy YogaMat. i felt sooOOOOO good. at least i am spending money to what i am pationate about, sport and health.

the rain was pouring like there was no tomorrow. and to make it worst, the rain leaks into my car through the front window, driver's seat. since our swimming session was cancelled, we planned to hunt for Soto (si syam mengidam)

syam and hjh were following us at the back

the rain definitely spoilt the excitement

sweets anyone?

floods everywhere

we had Soto at Soto Tinis. everyone was happy when the food arrived.

DIG IN EVERYBODY.

alai, hjh, yean

dahriah, syam, nurul

it was already 7.30pm. the rain still has not stopped. like it or not we still had to head home.

i haven't sleep at all today.. woohooooo!!!! hahaha... that didn't stop me from going out~

at 10.40am, brought mum, sis Dahlia and baby Nur Danisha out to shop. Dahlia wanted to buy some more clothes for her daughter. gosh that girl is growing so fast. i handled the baby most of the time when we were in the shopping store. i insisted to do so to let my sister to enjoy shopping and carefree for a bit. boy, you should see the look i was getting when i had Danisha in my arms. owh well, it was all good.

after that, then i went to sleep. NOT! i went out with Arifin. he wanted to pay his PrimaBill. unfortunately, he wasn't feeling well so he asked me to pick him up. mom was worried about me driving. but hey, i managed.

we went to do some shopping. he bought some stationaries and daily needs while i was looking for a Uni-bag. haha sounds like "Back-to-School" shopping to me. shopping was indeed faster when i shop with Arifin. without hesitation he knows what looks good on me and for me.

we then grabbed a bite at KFC kiulap.

around 8pm i send Arifin home.

owh yea, he had a hair cut. nice~

it was a wonderful day despite the zero hour amount of sleep i had.
