1408 (2007) and watch online!

Scroll down for the links.

Synopsis:
Mike Enslin (John Cusack) is a guy who stubbornly refuses to believe in the paranormal. In fact, he's written two bestselling books debunking myths and rumored hauntings. His latest subject is a hotel room in New York City with a dark and infamous past. However, in his determination to prove that 1408 is not haunted, Enslin may just stumble into a real-life ghost story.

What I think?: This movie really gave me creep! There are a lot of suspense and twists, almost made me dissapointed at one point when i thought that was the ending but nooo, the horror continues! The ending really gave me goosebump... overall a should watch movie, preferrably at the cinema! haha It just makes me think now whether the whole thing was real or just his (John Cusack) illusions. It seems like the hotel management was part of the whole thing since they kept on persuading him to check out. But in any case, John Cusack really played his role and I enjoyed it! Can't wait for the DVD release!

Just some thoughts for today

I was reading Reader's Digest last week and there were two short articles that made me laugh and a tip for students:

1) A tourist in China was looking for an elevator in a shopping mall and she finally saw a sign "For your convenience, there is an elevator for you located in China" ok~~ that's really convenient hahaha

2) An old patient was given a plastic cup for urine test by a nurse. He went to the toilet, peed and returned to the nurse. The cup was empty! He returned the cup to the nurse and said, "I do not need this, there's a toilet available" lols!

Yes these happened in real life!

3) And there's also an article about studying while listening to classical music does help to make learning more effective. I think it's true. I tried just now and it makes me feel more relax than this morning. I was freaked out earlier cause I just found out that I have two exams next week and another 2 on the 10th of July. God please save me :/

Chris Daughtry - Home



August is getting closer. Listening to this song reminds me home :( The uncertainty of me going home or staying do hurt a bit but first thing first... i must pass all my exams :)

I'm going home,
Back to the place where I belong,
And where your love has always been enough for me.
I'm not running from.
No, I think you got me all wrong.
I don't regret this life I chose for me.
But these places and these faces are getting old
So I'm going home.
Well I'm going home.

The miles are getting longer, it seems,
The closer I get to you.
I've not always been the best man or friend for you.
But your love, remains true.
And I don't know why.
You always seem to give me another try.

Chorus

Be careful what you wish for,
'Cause you just might get it all.
You just might get it all,
And then some you don't want.
Be careful what you wish for,
'Cause you just might get it all.
You just might get it all, yeah.

Oh, well I'm going home,
Back to the place where I belong,
And where your love has always been enough for me.
I'm not running from.
No, I think you got me all wrong.
I don't regret this life I chose for me.
But these places and these faces are getting old.
I said these places and these faces are getting old.
So I'm going home.
I'm going home

Schwetzingen: I'm back!

This is the fake mosque built in Schwetzingen Garten. The brief history: The king built different types of garten in his castle area including English, Turkish and Greek Garten. You will need a minimum of 2 hrs to walk around his garten. Imagine that!


Serunding weekkkkkkkkk


My family have sent me a package of Brunei food including 2 packs of serunding. My friend's mum gave me another 3 lols So that makes 5! I was only kidding when i said i want serunding.

For those of you who don't know: Serunding is a type of dried meat (Brunei style) cooked with special herbs and spices. It's normally served during Eid Festival and they are a bit pricy. But ofcourse, serunding is still my favourite!!

I just finished half today. It's kind of addictive! So if u are living in/near Reutlingen and want to have a try, you can contact me haha Ofcourse i'm kidding :p

All worth it!

I had been busy preparing for my Entrepreneurship presentation which was held today. Yesterday i ate at a chinese restaurant and i got a Fortune biscuit (?), it states that "Your knowledge saves you from a misfortune". I am not superstitious but i was really hoping it is a sign of good luck and it was!! The presentation went well and the Prof. (one of the challenges Prof. ever!) found it interesting. The paper was on "Real estate investment in China: Risks Analysis and Management". I almost went crazy working on this project because my team partner is the total opposite of me lol. But i learnt a lot from her.

Time to rest. Cheers.

Long Tuesday

Quote of the day: "Stay committed to your decisions, but stay flexible in your approach." Tom Robbins

It has been a long day today. I wanted to do so many things actually but only managed to get a few things done. Dissapointing. Shortly after i updated the blog last night, the landlady came to explain what happened earlier when i was not at home. She was so worried. The pipe needs to be repaired. The carpet needs to be removed if it does not dry up soon. Now part of my wall is ripped off and hell no, i am not going to repair that. I hope she won't give me the invoice *heart beating faster* lol.

So the plumber came today to fix the water pipe (if i understood correctly, water for the heater in the house) which the electrician drilled yesterday by mistake. No wonder the carpet was wet. It was so noisy and soooooooo warmm at home. My bro in KL called as i needed advice. Then i went out because the heat was unbearable. Sat in the park, went to the nearby printing shop and bind the term paper. Then i requested the embassy to call me back and discuss about some issues. The discussion honestly made me a bit confused so i went straight to town and did some window shopping. Leather jacket 50% discount! Found my size but.......

By 4.30 I was ready to go home. The plumber was not there. Oh thank god. He was wearing his shoes in my room and my carpet is dirty :( I need to take a nap....blame the weather lols

Broodies Gathering Video

I was free last sunday lol. The paper for Entrepreneurship is finish and was ready to be printed out. So i used my free time to make this video and met a friend in the afternoon. It was nice indeed.



Today i created a To-Do list for the next 2 mths. I realised there is sooo much to do in such a little time but i have mentioned all these earlier haha. The electrician came this morning to repair the lamp. When i returned, the lights were fixed. The electric box was replaced. The wires were also new. But part of the wall was a bit damaged arghhh. Honestly, I am quite nervous about the invoice which they will send in the next few days. I hope the service won't cost much! When it comes to service, everything is costly in Germany. So before you start complaining about life in Brunei, stop because remember this....you are very lucky....very lucky indeed :)

Visit Brunei 2008 Part 3

Find new reasons to smile .... and laugh... :)





Taken from the Brunei Tourism DVD... love it!

Honestly, makes me homesick lol

Another long Wednesday

I came to the university before 8am. Met a friend in the bus. She was late half an hour for class. Funny thing is, she walked with a normal pace to the faculty haha. I understand. For this Außenhandelfinanzierung (Foreign Trade Financing) class, it is seriously difficult to understand what the Professor is saying. Trust me, i've been there lol. The ironic thing is... he speaks perfect standard german! But from one semester to another, the complains from the international students are always the same.

While waiting for the project partner, I sat in front of the secretary's office and read my Investition's (Investment) notes. Then suddenly I heard Iris (secretary) saying "Guten Morgen Hafizah, wie geht's dir?" Honestly, i was still in the process of waking up so i just said i'm fine. Full stop. Then she said "Ein bisschen gestressed gel" (a little bit stressed out right?) You see, GEstressed is not even a german word lol.

There are so many things that need to be done before flying back to Brunei. Half of me is reluctant to leave... the other is sooooo excitedddd!! I am also nervous about things: presentation for Entrepreneurship, passing all exams, painting the rooms, closing contracts, abmelden from Bürgeramt (cant think of the translation lol), contacting the shipping company to arrange trunk, packing etc........OMG!!! Actually, it's not the presentation that i'm nervous about but it's the professor! I hope he won't attack me with questions because he just did this afternoon lol.

I finished working with the partner at 8pm. Suddenly realised my precious N70 was not in my bag nor on the table! I panic but luckily i found it....*fuhhhh*. I was tired and losing my "handy" is not something i can handle at the end of the day :)

Anyway, i should get some sleep. Tomorrow is another long day. Cheers.
