Tried to apply for my student visa for Aussie this morning. Turns out to be ---unsucessful! They want be to apply for an eVisa instead as I am holding a Bruneian passport which is an electronic one. sheesh! Wasting my time filling in that thick application form. ='( Waaaaaaaaa! So I'll just apply for it when I turn 18 to avoid under 18 parental consent and what not.

I'm gonna go visit the Doulos Ship tomorrow. Thats one thing to look forward to. Gonna sit for the IELTS exam this weekend. My courses that I have applied for does not require me to sit for it, but my dad just asked me to take it anyway. Now thats one thing that I'm not so looking forward to... I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT I'M IN FOR!!



how I wish I could just jump into your arms again... Man I miss you so badly!

Heres some pics from the night.

Services at the new AC2 kicked off with a BLAST! yesterday.. Whoosh! Even tho' I found it terribly cold especially when I lifted my hands, I felt like they just froze there. hehe... but other than that, the place is just simply amazing and God has promised us that it will be OUR place of refuge where we can have our 'cave time' with Him. =D I can just stand in awe of Him.


This afternoon I had another macromedia class. I got the program installed on my laptop so now I can try things out on my own at home. ^^ I learnt how to convert the macromedia file (.swf) into (.avi) format already. So here are some of my early macromedia creations!










Tonight, my dad is taking me out for dinner with the some Doulos peeps at Charcoal. woohoo can't wait! I didn't get to talk to them much yesterday. And there were there for PLK and I couldn't stay for it, so go figure!

Okay... where to begin? Hmmm.. lets start with the good news first..

I GOT ACCEPTED INTO MONASH! Yipeee! Don't have to think about applications no more. I applied for the Bachelor of Information Technology course with major in Information Systems. And I needed 8 points to get ont the course and with my results from A Levels, I only had 7 points. But... they have offered me to go for the Monash Uni pathway. Which means I do two semesters in Monash College then I immediately head on to my second year in Uni. So in other words I don't waste any years at all. Plus in this package, the fees are cheaper and I get more help from my tutors in the first year. =) Thank You Lord! Now to concentrate on my Visa. Medical check up was done this morning. I think I have to visit the Radiologist tomorrow to take an X-Ray. mm...

Now for the bad news-es.. Plural wah! =P

My dog scooby, ran away. I saw him on the road near the rubbish dump in Sungai Akar on wed as my car drove by. My dad didn't want to stop and pick him up. I knew it was him because of the blue collar he was wearing and the yellow rafia string that my maids tried to tie him to the gate with (which obviously didn't work---like hello! His metal chain broke, in case you were wondering). I think thats the last I will ever see of him. But in my mind I have this wild, crazy idea that if I stand somewhere in that area where I last saw him and call him, he will come running happily to me. Sigh~ had him for too long now.

The other bad news is I'm grounded for a month! =( For something I didn't do. But my dad said this isn't the first time, so he's still mad at me. Sigh~ And my phone is barred. My dad ain't gonna pay the bill. Will only get an Easi SIM card when I leave to Oz in Jan by the looks of it.

Speaking of leaving to Oz, my dad has already booked the flight on the 25th of Jan so looks like I'm leaving on that night. It'll be a 11pm flight. So I guess anyone who wants to see me off can come round 8/9pm. Its a school night....Bummer! I wish it wasn't... so that more of my mates could come and see me off.. =( Its gonna be SO HARD to leave Brunei. My home country, the place I grew up in.

I'm supposed to be at my Adobe class right now but apparently the whole of Gadong had a blackout and so I was told to go home and wait as it was pointless waiting in the dark and plus its hot there... And like just a few minutes ago I got a call from their office saying that the electricity is back on again. Shouldn't Gadong get a power generator?? What an experience. First day, teacher comes an hour late and now no electricity... haiz. Patience Rachel, patience.

So I'll be heading back over there in the afternoon. You know what, even tho' I'm a noob, I'm a pro noob. heheh.. what do I mean? Well I do know some basic stuff in Adobe Photoshop already and so like I'm a quick learner la. I only have one more section and one more exercise to complete then I'm done with the Adobe Photoshop course! On Monday, I only had 5 hours of lesson time and I completed like 7 exercises. And then today I'm gonna finish off the last short lesson and exercise and then I'M DONE! The whole course is supposed to be 16 hours and I'm finishing it in 6 and a half or 7. So maybe I'll get a discount on the next course? hehe... I'm gonna ask this teacher to teach me some additional stuff too.

On to Macromedia Flash when I'm done with Adobe Photoshop. fun fun fun!

I wanna learn something NEW...

Okay this is like so malu to say but.. my bro can cook! And I CAN'T. Malu eh! These past few days hes been experimenting and trying out different dishes, mostly to do with chicken. Like for e.g. last night he tried out lemon chicken and to me it just tasted simply delicious. Maybe I should hire him to be my personal cook next time. hahah... When oh when will you ever learn to cook Rachel? hmmm..?

Yeah so today, right now I'm starting my micronet computer classes. Waiting for the teacher and the other students to walk into the room. So longggg also. I think like they are having a meeting or somethings.. oh wells. Lets just be patient for once =P

Remember that time when I said I was gonna start computer short courses? I'm starting this MONDAY! Gonna start off with Adobe Photoshop and Macromedia Flash! Excited yet frustrated at the same time cause its practically a whole day thing which begins at 8.30 am!! Boohoohoo... *sniffs* There goes my lovely beauty sleeps...

And thens... what else arh? what have I been up to? Oh yea.. I have been busy designing stuff for our Freshwind camp end of next month. Been designing the pamphlet, banner and seat tags. Alot of work you know... esp aligning stuff for the pamphlet. Mich helped out with designing part of the pamphlet which I'm really grateful for because its just so hardd to design when you're mind is blank. I think Mich knows what I'm talking about. heheh...

Acts I think had one of the lowest attendance ever yesterday, but yet, the Praise and Worship lef by Von was awesome. I tell you, everyone could feel the presence of God there cause it was sooooo strong! Seriously... It was simply AWESOME. And I pray it'll never change and continue to be like this every week. Yups. Jeremy talked about Loving God Wholeheartedly. Hes on this series of loving God wholeheartedly and loving people fervently. I've learnt alot so far.

It looks as if I'm gonna be staying home the whole day today. Hopefully, tonight my parents will take me out. Please? Its gettin' boring here... I've updated all my blogs and I'm running out of things to do. Which reminds me, I'm Hungry!! *stomach growls*

Day Out with Von?

Met Von yesterday at Virtuoso. We were having our music lessons, then when I finished mine, I saw Von sitting there doing her Music assignments. So I decided to ask her to chill with me at Easyway as I was hungry too... heheh..
So I ordered a plate Easyway IndoMee Goreng and had my usual green tea with grape coconut jelly. Then Von wasn't THAT hungry, so she just bought Nougats. And we chatted and we chatted... thens she pulled out this chewing gum. And asked.. "Is this for smokers?" I was like.."ER, think so.." hehe.. I wasn't sure ok and til now, I'm still not sure. All I know is that this green tea flavour rocks! And I think I'm addicted to anything that is Green Tea! hehehe...

I don't know whether you can read the words but it says 'Check up your smile here' hehe... Cracks me up!



Von on the drums

Thats all for now folks!

p/s: Guess wat? I'm having Mee Goreng now again. Don't know how I'm gonna live without it next year..

the case of the missing nestle cream
1:45 PM

I've searched high and low all over Brunei's supermarkets for this

All I ended up finding was this on the shelves...




So in the end I ended up buying this


I have come to a conclusion.. Brunei has officially ran out of Nestle Cream.. =/ I wanted to make Fruit Salad!

Yesterday, my dad and I went to visit B Lau Education Services in Gadong to put in an application for Monash University in Melbourne. I hope I can get in. But I think they need more proof of my English proficiency, so I might need to take IELTS from cfbt by the end of the year.

Yea so I'm applying to Monash & RMIT. My dad is preferring for me to Monash right now because of the campus location and all. Its near the train and tramp stations. So it is a very strategic location. If I don't get in as they require 8 points and I only have 7, I might need to do a foundation, Diploma year. But I still don't waste a year tho' as I get to go into the 2nd year immediately after that. So yea... I'm still praying that I can get in the Bachelor of Information Techonology and Systems straightaway! Amen to that! =)

Last night we had a rehearsal for the Christmas Play for the first 3 scenes. It went well...i guess. But most of the cast weren't there. Praise God, all the dancers made it! And I guess you can say Uncle Jon was happy with the dance so far. =)

Lifeline

Here's a song by Brooke Fraser from her album, 'What To Do With Daylight', love the lyrics... Speaks to me much.


Lifeline
I have this sinking feeling
Something's weighing me down I am completely saturated
The waves are crashing closer
My feet already drowned
Doing the thing I said I hated


They've been swimming in the wrong waters
Now they're pulling me down
But I am clinging to you, never letting go
'Cos I know that you'll lift me out


Have your way here
Keep me afloat 'cos I know
I'll sink without you
Take this ocean of pain that is mine
Throw me a lifeline


Wake up feeling convicted
I know something's not right
Re-acquaint my knees with the carpet
I have to get this out
'Cos it's obstructing you and I
Dry up the seas that keep us parted

'Cos they've been swimming in the wrong waters
And now they're pulling me down
But I am clinging to you, never letting go
'Cos I know that you are gonna pull me out
