Our Pet - Robbie

I thought I wanted to post a picture of Robbie, thats our pet at the moment. Robbie is a she, so another female family member. Robbie is just so cute, affectionate and love to be petted. She can just lay there with her eyes closed when we rub and pet her, and she can do that forever. But she doesnt like to be cuddle or held. She prefers to sit or lay down beside us. She is almost there with litter training although she still has some poop accidents. Or it may not be an accident, she may do it on purpose, like marking her territory. She's been with us since December and she is 5 months old. So as a baby and a teenager she can be so naughty, she runs and jumps around like crazy every time she is out of her cage. She also loves to bite and nibble on anything so we give her cupboard boxes to nibble on. She loves vege especially lattuce, spinach and brocolli. She also eats hay, and fillets. And her favourite fruit is apple although she also eats banana & water melon. We try to give her a balance diet and so far she is good and healthy. She is simply adorable.

Brunei 25th National Day

Today is 23rd Feb 2009. Its our Brunei 25th National Day, thats 25 years since we gained our independence from the British. Congratulations Brunei. 25 years is a long time, if we think that as human years, he or she is now an adult with responsibilities. Gone are the days for playfulness, immaturity and irresponsibilities. Time to think for a better future, time to secure the life and keep on building the foundation for the golden years ahead. So everyone should think of what we all can contribute to the nation not what the nation can do to us all.

It feels good to feel patriotic sometimes. Anyway, my girl participated in the parade today. She and her science class friends only did the matching and not the dancing and creating all those images. Alhamdulilah, thats ok since she was not really into heavy stuff like had to run in the field under the hot sun. After the march, they were allowed to sit in the stadium and watched.

My girl was excited to be part of this celebration. She was so looking forward to today. Afterall this is her first time participating so it felt different I am sure. More so with their uniform which was red jacket and black pants, although I am sure it was very hot to be in that outfit. Anyway, she was happy, had a good time with her friends so it was ok.

Some pictures of today from her camera, taken by her. They did look good actually.

Wishes can come true.

I remember having a wishing thinking a few months back while attending one wedding whereby I wished the wedding was held at night and at a hotel. Just to beat the unbearable heat and to be more comfortable, so to enjoy the ocassion more. I even blogged about it on 29th December 2008 last year. And last night that wishes came true. Sometimes in January we were invited to go to a wedding reception at Rizqun International Hotel at 7.30pm at night. There was also Berbedak Invitation on the 5th Feb but we didnt attend that since since both hubby and I were under the weather and it was raining and we reached home at around 6.30pm due to traffic jam, and the invitation started at 7.00pm! The invitation was from a distant cousin whom we havent met for a long time but it was really good to be there. The moment I opened the envelope my jaw dropped when I saw the venue and time of event. That wishes really do can come true!

We went to Riqzun last night, without my close relatives. My parents and one brother intended to go but cancelled at the last minute. We did enjoy the night, the ambience and the occasion. It was a beautiful ceremony, so different from weddings I ever attended. There were even some songs from friends and relatives of the bride. We were there early too to beat the traffic and to ensure we did get a good parking space since we knew how jam packed the Mall was. We finished at around 10.00pm and went home. So not bad but I couldnt say the same about the food though, I've tasted more yummy food from our local small caterer. Sorry Rizqun!!

Anyway some pictures from from last night.

My birthday

Today 3rd Feb 2009 is my birthday, very quiet indeed. Only some greetings from people close to me. The day went by very quickly and I am still feeling under the weather. My parents came over as usual they never failed to give me presents, although as an adult I dont really need them to do that anymore but thats my mom. Not really looking forward to today since I am a year older and still have one dream unfulfilled. Anyway, I just hope I will be well, healthy and happy always beside all those people that I love.
