I BURNT THE FRICKIN CHICKEN.
Mum told me to cook this morning. But Anti Min wasn't there so I called her. I decided to cook chicken with oyster sauce. As usual, my screams are audible throughout the house as the oil "reacted violently" with the garlic and ginger I put in. I mean, I was expecting the oil to do that, but I was obviously still scared. Then I put in the onions, the chilli, chicken, some water and finally oyster sauce with the salt.
Then, I left it to cook. To play the my sister's PSP. For the next....20 minutes? Suddenly I smelled something like toasted bread. I wasn't that far off. It was the smell of burning chicken. XD So I rushed to the kitchen and tried to save the chicken. Only the surface of some pieces were burnt though. But most of the water evaporated. HAHA I remembered my maid telling me to add water to this almost burnt sausage I made, as she said it was to moisten it back? SO I thought the same thing would do for chicken. Bad results. The burnt parts of the chicken mixed with the water and gave a bitter, burnt taste to the gravy. But the taste of oyster sauce was stronger though. XD
My dad called after that to check up on me and I wailed..."IT'S BUUUURRRNNNNTTTT!!!! I DON'T THINK EVEN THE CAT WANTS ITTTT~!!!"
But he calmly said, "it's okay, we all learn from mistakes."
That's it. Then, when they all got home, the chicken was served, along with some last minute veggies I cooked. My mum lectured me. No surprise about that. Haha.
I now agree with Froggy's saying, "When the cook a stressed, the food cooked will be bad." LOL I was stressed because I hate oil because it's scary and I don't like it. Then when I cooked the veggies, I was stressed because of the burnt chicken. Overall, the whole thing was bad. I should never cook unsupervised ever again.

FMIS Concert |and| Others
"Check it out! I'm a talking slipper! But I'm stupid. I'm so stupid I just had to open my stupid mouth while the girl who was wearing me was in a rush!"Anyway, that was basically our job. Then for the rest of the show we basically did nothing but play with the kids. XD An as far the shows are concerned, they're just...well, they were performed by kids, so you wouldn't expect much from them anyway, right?
Then, finally, the moment we've been waiting for, REFRESHMENTS, baby!! XD Yeah. Haha. It's usual mee goreng and kuih-muihs with tea and coffee and whatnots. Spent the rest of the tme sitting around with Kaka Emma and Man talking and talking and what else, eat.
In the car, Man wanted to borrow my sling bag since she's going out later at night, so I'll be holding her handbag for the time, as a remainder. LOL. I don't use handbags =_= We went home, but dad had to send the rest of my younger siblings home home first, and after sending Man, my father, my sister and I headed to the mall. Forcefully. I didn't want to go because well, of my stupid shoes. I was still wearing my bagu kurong and tudong. Then, my sister suggested me to wear her converse shoes which she left in the car. Em, helloooo, baju kurong+tudong+handbag+converse shoes=poklen wannabe? And we're going to the mall, the HQ of "thempeople". What if they labelled me as one of them? Ohnoes. Azzah wanted to find a PSP charger since she lost hers. We found a two-in-one USB cable PLUS charger for $12 at this game shop close to the food court. But if you buy the charger pack only, it costs $25. Haha what a bargain. We also bought some games for $10. Yesssss. I can finally play the PSP again! XD Yeah it's hers, but hey, there's a Bleach game in it. XD
And then, dad just had to go into this shop filled with punk and hip hop accessories. My sister's fault. Seriously, who brings their dad, especially conservative ones to a shop like that? Branded ones too. Dad was sleepy at that time, and when he's sleepy, he is very "mendulur" somehow. He let my sister by this $Idon'tknowhowmuch and me a $39 jacket. DD: I felt guilty, but my sis insisted. Hmm. I'm just gonna keep quiet. XD
That's the end of the day for us. Dad just could not keep his eyes open anymore. Better let him rest after all the money he spent that day. Haha.

Hisashiburi da ne
After two frickin months of being inactive, I have finally stepped into the dojo again. Haaaaaaaa~
Pau picked me up, and others who were with him were Riku, Hafiz and Kaza. Lol a car packed with kendokas. Awesoooome. XD
Honestly, I was kind of nervous coming back to training, since, I don't know. Em, I felt that I might just be rusty and looked more like a beginner and stuff. The horrors. But everything turned out fine. Wait. Slash that. Everything turned out crazy D: Well, at least it was to me. We were told to the 20x men cut, 20x kote cut, 20x do cut and 20x sayu men cut in one go. Oh gaaaawd. And then 70 haya suburi. I was exhausted by the 30th. Damn. I used to be able to stand more than that.
And then we did kata. Riku still had something against kata, so she was not really into it. The problem with my kata was because I was paired up with Raito who is damn tall. So the distancing between us didn't really work because I was, quote from Yazin-senpai "short...-er than him." It's like, when he was going to attack and I step back, I didn't move far enough, and when I was supposed to attack him, he was totally out of reach. I was more used to pairing up with people my height, or people slightly taller only. Daaaarnnnn.
And then, end of training, and after all the annoucements, it was 9.30. We went to Ahan Thai. It was my first time eating there in my gi and hakama, so it felt awkward. The others were used to it, though. And I didn't bring any moneyyyy. But Kaza had an extra dollar so I ordered a one-scoop oreo ice cream. XD Riku and Raito were nice though. After I finished my sad little piece of ice cream, Riku decided to pour some of her XL sized honey dew juice into my bowl, we had an extra straw. And then after finishing that, Raito gave me some of his milo. Lol. Funny. Thanks, guys. XD I felt guilty but they didn't seem to mind.
Arrived home around 10.30+ because mum called. I just remembered that my dad won't be home that night, he'll be staying overnight in Belait, so basically I was supposed to be home. Lol.
And today, as expected, muscle craaaaaaamps. =D And one more thing, apparently Bamboo Blade is getting popular now, since it is about kendo. I mean, few months ago, when I stumbled upon it on the internet, not a single soul I asked ever even heard about the manga. Lawl yeay bamboo blaaade.

Nitta-sensei's Farewell Party
Gaaaa....kanashii da yo~
Ehm, so we've been practicing since the past 3 days for the song Home Sweet Home by Yuki. The practices were sort of dull, because almost nobody came, damn it. But today, thankfully, everybody did, do we finally had a decent practice.
We moved on to the Residence of Ambassador of Japan at around 1++PM. Cool place. Not really all japanese-y, but there were some of the parts where it was japanese-y. Haha. It felt awkward at first, since we, well, were in an AMBASSADOR'S house. Of course, in our mind, ambassadors are normally the no-nonsense, strict, cold, serious, formal and all that typical attitude of a middle-aged man. We wore shoes in there, and we didn't want to step on the carpet, so most of us were lined around the carpet, subconsciously. That's why his first question when he arrived was, "Why are you all standing beautifully around here?" XD It was a very casual arrival and stuff, and other than us, there were not more than 10 people over there, so it was cool.
And then he spoke in japanese, and although we learn japanese, we were unable to translate what he said since he said it so quickly. XD But I didn't really want to show my "huh?" look, so I tried to answer as much as I can, with the very few japanese words I can think of at that time. "Yasashi desu." "Sukoshi desu." and all those stuff ending with "desu". Kept on reminding myself to use "desu" too. Must be formal, we are talking to a japanese person of higher ranking, that's what I keep on reading on the internet. Hahaha. But then, he talked about animes with us! and explained to us the difference between the particle "wa and "ga". He should be Nitta-sensei's replacement. XD
And OMG there was sushi! For free! XD I miss sushi, but I just can not seem to afford them for the time being, so it was very refreshing. Me, Froggy, and some form twos get to sit with Mr.Hashimoto the ambassador, our principal, Mr. Ogihara (whose name keeps on reminding me of onigiri, which makes me feel VERY guilty D:) and a very sweet, japanese lady in purple whose name I forgot. I felt guilty because of that since she was very friendly. She asked me what's my favourite japanese song and the first thing that came to mind was "Domoto Koichi- Kagen no Tsuki" And she was like laughing and tapping my shoulders and said, "yeah, I like Koichi too! I prefer him over Shuichi!" XD So yeah, we talked about Kinki Kids. Weeeeird. But I don't feel awkward anymore.
Then, Froggy was nervous about her solo, Beatiful World. Kept on going to the toilet. Then, I began to feel awkward again because Mr. Ogihara was sitting next to me. I was embarassed because Nitta-sensei told them that I took kendo as well, so they shot many questions towards me. About how long I've been taking kendo, who teaches me kendo, how much do I like kendo, how good am I at kendo. One of them didn't even know that there was already kendo in Brunei.
And then, eating time. Of course, with the stereotypical japanese in mind, I took just a few pieces of sushi, just to be polite, haha. But then, noticing even the ambassador himself took many rounds around the food table, so what the heck. And boy, was I stuffed. My cravings for sushi fulfilled, the sushi tray almost empty, everybody was happy. Although I wish I could take the leftovers back home. XD
And after some more conversation with the ambassador and the em...embassy officers? it was time to sing. Oh gawwwwwd. Haha. It was emmm...okay? I don't know. Twas horrbile~!! Antah eh. And there comes out my malay. XD
After that, a photo-taking session. And then some informal photo sessions. All too soom, it all ended. I had this conversation with Nitta-sensei.
Me: Ja, sensei, sayounara(goodbye)! *bow*
Sensei: Iie, iie, ja mata(no, no, see you)!
Me: Sou desu ne, sayonara ja nai! Ja mata...raishu? (Right, not goodbye, see you...next week?)
Sensei, including the others who were nears laughed.
Well, you see, it's just that, after every lesson, we would say, "mata raishu, sensei.(see you next week, sensei)" So yeah. That's the point behind the conversation. X( I very sad.
And then on our way out, the ambassador casually send us out and said "come again, come again!" And no idea why, I was the unlucky victim who got slapped at the back by him. *cough* yes, very friendly. I thank Liilah and Katak who were there to prevent me from falling from the effect. XD He was also a strong hand shaker. XD
Anyway, here are the photos we took. :(
Look, the carvings on a table, it is depicting a war. Not clear due o reflection from the lamp.
Also the same table. It looked hard enough to carve those scenes, mean. That craftsman got my respect.
Darn, it's blurry. But it was really pretty. I assume this is ikebana. They used axora flowers with palm leaves and...no idea what those other leaves are.
Nitta-sensei and me (Shuttup, just llok at her, not me.XD)
This is just put here for cuteness purposes.
