dorchester

Sorry readers (silent ones too) for the dalay in updates. Been busy with things lately, and haven't got the time to make a post. so this time, i'll compile the things together to one long post, so people, this will probably lagg your connection ( not mine because UK speeds are like between 2-6 Mbps here in my school lol )

Note that the pictures are not in chronological order, as i have no will to arrange them properly, but hey they are there so enjoy.

Hyde Park

Hyde, or hyde. One big park that it takes a while just to cross it. The large open spaces, which you probably seen in the last post is a good (not great) place to waste some time. We didn't, as we had other things in mind.

The 6 of us, Erwan, Izzah, Mariam, Me, Lester and Peng all decided to meet up at Hyde Park to kill off some spare time. We met up near the main pond and worked our way around. Then the photoshoot started.

this was at the Princess Diana Memorial Fountain.
on a large pile of dry leaves near the main pon at Hyde park
the others threw the leaves, while erwan did his poses xP
tried climbing, but failed to sychronized.

BSUNION Raya Celebration at Dorchester Hotel

On my first weekend of my half-term, the bruneian students (with the tickets) in large numbers gathered at the Dorchester Ballroom for the Raya Celebration. It was an entertaining show, and a break from all the european music of late xP

Saw quite a few familiar faces there, unexpectedly.


the group : Nadia, fazleen, mariam, illy, izzah, erwan and *drumrolls* yours truly.


former president of BSunion ( stepped down during the raya celebration to 2 other BSunion Members)The MCs of the night
One of the performers during the event and also a BSunion member.

Yumni's here as well, and she won one of the 'best dressed' competition. not sure which one but she did win one.


Erwan and cousin.

One of the performers.
Khairi, fellow Dean-ian.
One of the CLC seniors belting out a sing during a duet.

and here's the second half of the duet.

Also, Jrock performed as a suprise guest performer. Jrock is basicaly an Indonesian band, who's current;y in londo for a show and has been invited to perform at the raya celebration. Other than that, i don't know who there are lol







Brunei hall

The best thing about staying in brunei hall is that you can meet up with other friends that you've not met in a long long time. I just saw lela during the half-term, the first time since she left Brunei two months ago. She's still same old, same old with a few updates haha

On one of the nights, i held an impromptu photography lesson on how to use my camera. The students were erwan, fazleen and izzah.

izzah's best shot.
i took this one. flash bounced off nearby wall.
same here.
London, London!!

London has a lot of places for us to go to, but mind your wallet. we like cheap trips, thus the bus or walking is a usual option to move around.

Erwan, Lester, Peng, Me and Izzah atTrafalgar Square. A bollywood movie shoot was getting ready in the square behind.
after karaoke-ing at Queens, Bayswater. Great night indeed sal the songs we sang are as such:
-YMCA!
-Heaven ( DJ Sammy)
-Buttons (PCD)
-Barbie Girl (LOL)


during the karaoke. i wasn't taking too much pictures sal sibuk menyanyi haha

Also, the kb-ians + izzah have a usual hang-out spot at night, which is the Costa Cafe at Paddington Station. It's basically an equivalent of Starbucks, but i like the chocolate at starbucks more *slurrp*

Costa sessions have also been called as 'bergila-gila session' because we usualy get loud and crazy after drinking the Hot chocolate + marshmallows + Whipped Cream + Chocolate Stick *grande please*
Lester, erwan ( with old hair if you get what i mean), peng, izzah and the one and only azrin at costa. We usually go there at 10-12 until closing time because at that time, there's no other customer around so we can talk as much as we like :D
while at paddington garden. hear no eveil, see no evil, hear no evil. i know it repeated twice haha
erwan, izzah and me in the middle of the ice-skating rink.

Ice-skating at Queens, Bayswater. My first time ice-skating, and i only fell once because i was dared to race with one of the arabian guys who was also a first-timer there :P
After london tombs, at london bridge. from L-R : me, izzah, eka, lela, lester, peng, erwan, azrin and fauzan.
back at costa. same time as the previous costa picture.
after two pictures, lester is still oj the phone. It was either yih fang or anne on the other side on the line.
us disturbing the guy working there taking a picture of himself haha ndawah.
at trafalgar square, on one of the monuments. We had to climb the monument to get a good place to sit and see the peole moving about below us.

Somewhere around paddington. It's closed to Chicken Spot for those who knows the place.

Okay that's all for now. Will update soon, and yes i do miss everyone back in brunei. Even those in uk too. Jangan lupa sa winter break k hyde park snowfight gaga xD
