Empire Hotel iftar session

honestly, i was so jealous with my gfs and other MMU friends with their delightful iftar session few days ago. everyone was wearing nice baju kurung as the theme of that day. they even have a surprised bday celebration for my lalink. how i wish i was there too.. :(

me: they are going to the curve for iftar session. i wish i can be with my friends, having fun too. :(

mr hubs: you have me here. i am your friend. we can go out for iftar and have fun too.

i was trembled as i realized i shouldn't made him feel bad about this. the situation won't be the same. but i know he is trying hard to make me happy, to make me feel like home. yeah,after that i promised myself that i won't do that again.at least not make him feel bad. hehe. we'll see :P

then we decided to have our own iftar session. to date, its our 3rd month being a couple of husband and wife. its not a celebration since mr hubs don't wanna pamper me with monthly celebrations because celebrations=gifts! for sure i'll be so spoilt and it won't be that meaningful anymore when it reaches our anniversary celebration. lets it be the most awaited and meaningful event every year. insyaallah, theres many years to come. for this "monthlysary", i would say its enough with only wishes and a peck on the cheek, (and maybe some making out activity after that.. hahhahaha).

so we chose The Empire Hotel's ramadhan buffet. this hotel is located in jerudong. and this is the most expensive hotel in Brunei Darussalam. tapi mmg cantik hotel ni. its huge and gigantic! and the buffet, costs us about BND28 per pax. and the variety of food is just awesome. of course they won't leave ambuyat behind. such a must-have food in brunei. owh don't i tell you that this hotel got its own cinema, do i? yes it does. and the cinema is just so breathtaking. we've been here before, watching toy story 3.

this is us, sebelom melantak! tq ridhuan bertindak sbg jurugambar pada hari itu.

owhh tolong abaikan pengembangan badan kami selepas kawen. ingat pakai hitam nampak lagi slim. tp jelas, theory ni takleh pakai. utk lulus exam je bole pakai.

lepas melantak puas-puas mcm dah tak bole bernafas, we went ahead to bandar Gadong. just wanted to sip a cup of coffee. so we decided to have it at the coffeebean. well, we got no starbucks here due to religious issue. so i have to learn to swallow the other-than-starbucks-but-coffeebean coffee since we had no other choice. being me, a hardcore fan of starbucks, finds is really hard to adjust my ego. :p well, its all about time i guess. sampai je sana, mr hubs terus beratur. i tell you this is the busiest coffeebean i've ever seen. ramai giler org. tapi yg kelakarnye, dekat brunei ni semua pun nak buat direct translation. just imagine "The Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf" jadik "Biji Kopi dan Daun Teh"?.. hahahaha. nak type pun rasa cm nak tergelak. Kalau kat hotel depan rumah ni pun lawak jugak. "Seaview Hotel and Resorts" jadik "Hotel Pandangan Laut dan Peranginan". WAKAKAKAKKA

Then mr hubs get me a new handphone. no no no. its not iphone 4 or Blackberry Torch. ini hanya utk pakai angkat telepon & send SMS. other functions, pls use your blackberry. since roaming charges is really burning holes in our pockets and obviously killing us, it is more appropriate for me to have a permanent brunei phone number. i was so happy with my new phone because it is nokia. ahhaha. its a brand new nokia 2220 slide phone. cool. its cheap but i love it so much. i love nokia for being such a user friendly phone for people like me. and this phone comes with many striking metallic colours. but i'd settled with a silver one. :) so rakyat malaysia,pls contact me with my brunei number even i still have my blackberry turned on.

this is my brunei number's phone. :) gambar amek kat google sbb blom tangkap gambar lagi phone baru. mr hubs, thank you :)

so its official that we are not going back for hari raya since mr hubs has to work during hari raya. huhuhuhuu.no no no. mr hubs pun suruh balik if i wanna go home. but being a good wife, i think its not fair to him that after married he still have to be single on hari raya.sad? sape tak sedih when everyone can kiss their parents' hands and i can't?.. :( well, this is life. takpe2 just change the way you see it. now i'm a married woman. i should be by my husband side through thick and thin. for the first time i am going to celebrate raya as a wife. for the first time ever, i am going to celebrate it far from my family. naseb baik tak hantar gambar masuk dekat section salam perantau dekat Utusan Malaysia kan. haha. gedik sungguh. Luckily we are going to celebrate it with the rest of Schlumberger staff over here. yela, sama-sama takbole balik kan. :P

so we decided to cook delicious food for raya. and knowing our rice cooker is just a normal and simple rice cooker which it does not have the ability to boil or steam or whatever, we decided to buy a new one. and now i have it with me.

taraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa......

this magic multicooker not only can cook rice, but it can also boil, steam, even bake a cake! now call me a happy champ :)

so hows your Ramadhan? i wish that you have the most wonderful Ramadhan. Enjoy the final days of Ramadhan since you have to wait for another year to enjoy it again. recite more prayers as this is a month full of barakah :)
