I arrive in UK on 28th August 2008, at about 7pm. Safe and sound and still in one piece, guys!
The transit in Dubai was a short 30 minutes but it was fun... I saw two UFOs! Not real though... Sorry for not taking any pictures...
At Brunei International Airport I went in the terminal at about 7pm. A lot of my friends were there. I said to them,"if you come here just to see me cry, then you are disappointed!",upon which they howled (well that was how it sounded like to me). Wan Shin, who was another fellow scholarship holder (also DANA), was crying and I was having a hard time comforting her. After getting the passport stamped we went into cramped Gate 8, feeling like an idiot when our numbers were called but didn't know about it.
Inside the aeroplane I once again felt like an idiot when I had absolutely NO IDEA how to find my seat (later I found out it was very, very simple - sigh~ I still got a lot to learn).
I ran out of ideas... hahaha. Any games/entertainment you guys want? Tell me!! And here's a list of teachers I invite:-
1. Cikgu Hashimawati (PTEB) 2. Madam Ting (PTEB) 3. Miss Chua (PTEB) 4. Miss Jean (PTEB) 5. Miss Kiem (SMB) 6. Miss Yulia 7. Miss Emily Low 8. Miss Lorene Anne (my cousin)
I just completed my medical check-up yesterday, everything's done. And I felt like a fool carrying that big x-ray envelope around. Huhu.
Yesterday I walked from the Anggerek Desa clinic to my former-former school, SM Berakas. Actually I was pissed off at something random at that time, so I didn't really feel the distance. I went into the school compound and went to Miss Kiem's staffroom to find her. For some unknown reason, I respect Miss Kiem a lot, eventhough she's one of the strictest teacher I had ever come across. I admit, if it was not for her, I wouldn't have gotten that A1 for my Chemistry. So I went to find her, and of course she was very surprised to see me. I told her where I had come from and she exclaimed, "that's far!" "Um, it is?" I asked. Haha. Blur.
I then told Miss Kiem about the Farewell Party and fortunately she agreed to come. Yeah! She also offered to help me tell Miss Emily. Miss Yulia will probably come, so us 2006-7 A Maths gang will have a blast at the party! Hehe. Solon C, you have to come! After talking to Miss Kiem for a while, I excused myself and took a ride to PTEB for the supposingly 'surprise' party in the MP room.
As usual, I was the only one not in school uniform. Miss See saw me when I was about to go into the MP room and she called to me, "Jolene Wong! What ARE you doing here?!" Nah, it's not really an accusing tone. I smiled sheepishly and told her about my friends' not-so-secret plan (which WAS the reason I was at PTEB!). She let me off the hook for wearing Jeans - not allowed - since I had already left school and all.
The scary confession in question is Aizuddin's. Last night I texted, "Ganbatte Kudasai for your upcoming exams! Best wishes, Ping =)" to all my mates. And Zudin immediately texted back, we texted to and fro, nothing special, when Zudin suddenly asked me if I could keep a secret of his.
I thought, heck, Zudin didn't know I'm the worst secret keeper ever. Of course I was curious. So I asked him to spit it out.
And he confessed that he like me. Scary, somehow.
I didn't reject him or anything. He wasn't expecting an answer. Sooooooooo, my mates, we are still friends. Althought I tease him more now.
I'm attending this boring taklimat... So boring that nobody is paying any attention anymore, and the speaker might as well be talking to himself.
And I'm thinking... About a lot of things... About the people I used to entertain with my hyperness, the guys I always tease, the tutors, PTEB library... I miss them. And I feel bad I'm too busy to go back to that old school life, though I had stopped schooling only last week.
There's Zimah, demanding I give her 'friend abuse'; there's Farhan, damn discipline MP, random king and nicknamed Monky Wonky Kawachi Koala by me; there's Qays, the fun guy I wish I have more time to hang out with; Shen, the ever cute white rabbit, don't isolate yourself, please... Ainal, don't get so caught up in manganime, alright; Khy, my patience alchemist, thanks for loaning my your Kreko... zudin, thanks for being my personal pinchbag; Yu Heng, stop isolating yourself, too! Damn Solon Chong, I'm not gone yet! khairul, 'miss you' is really a surprise, coming from you; Inarah and Ismah, althought I don't know you guys very well, my best wishes still go out to you! Not forgetting Nisah and Aliyah, and also Dayah... I'm sorry I broke my promise, don't hate MoE, ya?
The last person I want to talk to before I go is Adie... Please, can someone pass my words to him? Di... I'm really sorry... Forcing the lot on you, will you ever forgive me? I hate the forced hug you gave me, no sincerity in it at all... I know I am selfish to still love you, so I will try to move on... *weak smile* Di...thanks. I don't regret the times we had.
So that's what I'm thinking, missing everyone and everything... I swear I will never forget you all. May lightning strike me should I forget.
I am very sad to leave Brunei, I truthfully am... leaving Brunei means I no longer can sit outside my home and soak up the heat. And the fact that I nda tahan sejuk *brrrrr!* means I am gonna miss the heat...huhuhu! And of course I'm gonna miss all my friends...and that includes you, damn Monky Wonky Kawachi Koala. You know who you are.
Thank You, Khy, for your touching message on your blog... I didn't shed no tears *EAS sir: No! Don't use no double negatives!* because I know I'm gonna be back here one day! And on the day of my return you will see fireworks spelling out my name... just kidding...
I miss y'all already...
My best and warmest wishes and love to y'all, xinping2016
