we dundonians drove down to notts on fri in two vehicles... a minivan which can fit 17 ppl including driver, and ur normal car =) there were 17 of us in total... the drive there was aight actually.. took shahrizal (7 till 2.30 ie) seven and a bit hours to drive... i ended up sitting in fron in between shahrizal and shidi.. we were listening to the radio, and the weather man said "its gonna be a lovely day in England today. its going to be warmer than yesterday." (at this point we were cheering) and it continued by saying "its going to be 6 degrees" muahaha.. talk about being warm in the UK ;p towards the end of the journey, i was just too sleepy, and shidi's shoulder proved to be comfortable enuf for me to have a wee nap.
as planned, i stayed with bel at her frens' place... they were all up at 3 am!!! cooking!!! they were gonna sell food on the saturday... it looked GOOD!!! pure msian food!!! =) bel n i decided to make the sandwiches before we slept.. so that kami can sleep in for a bit longer... weren't we glad to knw that we had a single bed to share =) inda payah di lantai!!! i had a good 3 hours or less worth of sleep =) woke up just before 8 and got ready to be picked up...
when we arrived di sports centre (the place where we had the bru notts easter game 2004) the place was just FILLED with msians!!! the registration place, the hallway towards the courts, the courts, the resting eating place upstairs, the car park, the netball courts and the bus stop for shuttle buses. there were just LOADS of ppl that they had to use four main venues... i had to use a shuttle bus to go to where fiz's team (which in the end became my team too... Leics B team)... and that place was filled itself!!! i swear, the total number of ppl there this wknd, was twenty fold the number of bruneians!!! it was actally SCARY walking towards the registration area ;p
pitt: iv gota say, ur leics ppl are a frenly bunch.. and i can see why ko ngam dengan dorang.. and like i said the other day, after they met ki and i, and shar pun, i guess they can tell why u r sorta weird.. hehhe.. unique is what dhilah said to use.. instead of weid ;p and id like to say that hopefully they laugh WITH u rather than AT u ;p
biasa lah when i meet up with my frens, i go crazy and uncontrolled... ki myself mas and pit were having fun all the time. i ended up playing most of the time as GD as well.. and i felt guilty because Echa didn't end up playing a lot.. i felt i was taking over the team.. sorreh!!!
the team didn't win, but that was besides the point.. we had a good time!!! didn't lose badly to the number one team! =) and erm... it wasn't freezingly cold.. was just cold ;p
oh yea, before i forget to mention.. my weekend wudnt be complete without people asking me if i was malay or chinese.. and as it always is, i remind someone of their friend. apparently i look exactly like this msian called michelle.. sigh.. i have come up with the conclusion that i have such a typical msian/bruneian face!!! =(
after all the games, we had a get together at the main sports centre. where eventually shar came to see us =) it was GOOD to meet up with her!!! she does look slimmer now!!! nice haircut.. lawa lah her ;p and most importantly.. still the same ol shar!!! *HUGS* and, iv decided to copy and paste a bit of kiki's email... (hope u don't mind ki) i luv u really! =) oh dammit!!! i duno how to cut and paste on this!!! sigh!!!
skali kami pun had to go home.. after a LONG confusion between us dundonians... kami pun start driving up.. only this time, we had to take a longer route, a detour to middlesborough, to drop off one of our basketball players ;p it took us almost 10 hours to reach dundee.. i blame it mainly to the fact that we had to use A19.. which was a small road... therefore inda dapat laju... and therefore it took longer than necessary...
next... what im about to say will shock most of u, especially ka meng ;p hehehe... shahrizal was tired, so he let me drive for an hour!!! i was driving a MANUAL 17 seater van!!! omg... i bet none of u would dare to be in that van! rizal was putting on his seat belt!!! thank god it wasn't embarrasing... my transission within gears weren't horrible.. i wudnt say it was smooth, but it was aight... and everyone just went back to sleep anyway ;p
tapi nya, we went thru penrith.. a really small town.. small road, police patrol around and... a HILL!!!! i knew i had to change my gear to sth lower.. but it proved to be not enough.. so as i predicted, my enjin mati tangah tangah on the hill.. muahhaa.. but i didnt panic. shahrizal didn't panic. and restart the enjin and i was away again ;p ehhehe...
then, after LOADS of round abouts and one occassion on which i went up a curb, i was on the M6 going 75 miles per hour.. muahah.. it was a smooth ride... no cars.. tho i did take over a long truck!! hehehe =) kewl ey!!!
but yea.. then chet drove. i managed to stay awake for a bit.. but then i was just dead!!! i was sleeping... the right way to do it. head tilted up. mouth wide open!!! looking very dead and asleep.
sampai dundee at 5.30 ish.. got back to mine by 6am... and slept ALL the way till 8pm Sunday.. hehehe =) i was menganti balik the lost sleeping time... ;p then.. kami watched the incredibles!!! highly recommended. i would say that its better than the edge of reason.. or whatever the title of bridget jones 2 is ;p
and now.. after a week of erm coughing.. im officially ill!!! im now coughing, sneezing, sniffling and its horrible!!! sigh!!! i hope i feel better soon!!! this isn't the best way to be feeling ;p
oh yea, i checked out the pictures in war's blog.. and they made me feel homesick!!! sigh!!! i wish i was home!!! sigh!!! aight then.
oh before that.. guess what timbang clutch is.... me being half asleep spent a good minute or two trying to make sense out of this phrase.. its balancing the clutch!!! hehehe... it was hard to get to that because i was directly translating timbang to weigh.. so in my head it was weighing clutch.. which made NO sense at all.. baik jua si Chet did the hand movements.. and he said it in a sentence "kat kl kena timbang clutch (hand gesture) banyak. letih la" and eventually it made sense. hehehe.. my driving instructor never said that to me ;p all she sed was... belens bah belens. sigh!!!

Confidence is the key. ;) Remember masa ke arah Izwan d Tutong (!) ku mengangkut scouts dlm van c Haidy (mana c Haidy kn menggtau manual kn-well if not I wud've backed down heh). Btw masatu baru kan a yr ku belesen n lamaa sdh nda pegang manual tu. N now every now n then aku jlnkn jua keta c Rezam manual eventho kadang2 mati..nda jara jua..cos nanti I might have to drive a manual kah..tauth Rezam angan2nya kn be-ketalumba so tntulah manual tu hehe..So basicaly saying antam sja tia, jgn takut, act as if u own the road n dat u've had ur license for ages (like wat Rezam wud say, kn diapa tah lesen atu, wen i'm reluctant to take the wheel of a manual heh) ;P
