Jaysus! O.o

Has it been over a month since my last post?! I had intended to blog on a regular basis over the holidays, but unfortunately, it was not meant to be due to unforseen circumstances! Let's see, firstly, I hurt my back in Singapore (I should really be careful carrying heavy bags!), then caught a terrible cold in New Zealand (with fever and non-stop coughing, ugh! It lasted weeks!), excruciatingly slow internet connection in Brunei (Simpur is crap!) and finally, German language tests (inLingua did not tell me about these!) now that I'm back in Germany! The tests won't be over till next week - I have another one on Monday! O.o They're not too bad, though.

Since I feel like a change after all that, I decided to do so by putting up a new colour scheme on my blog with the same design. Hope you like it! :) Anyway, I can't write much now, so here's my blog backlog list (yet again!):

• Holidays in Brunei
  
• Holidays in New Zealand (with photos)
  
• Asthetic Tribute fanarts
• Anime/Manga (hehe, I did warn you!)
• Visit to Bavaria and Austria (with photos)
  
• Friends' visit to Germany (with photos)
• "Wir sind Helden" (German alternative music band)

Well, that's all I can think of! Really got to go now! Oh yeah, almost forgot:

SELAMAT BERPUASA!!!

Photos: Karl's and Siobhan's wedding (Ireland)

Two very dear friends of my brother and I got married on July 19, 2007. It was a small wedding, about 20 people attending in total including myself. Sadly, my brother couldn't make it to the wedding due to work commitments. I got permission from the couple to post a few photos on my blog. They got married in the registry office, took wedding photos on the grounds of Trinity College (where they both attended university) and the wedding dinner was in a quaint hotel in Wicklow called Hunters (they do one of the best afternoon tea in Ireland!!!). Anyway, it was really enjoyable! I have to say, a small wedding does have its advantages since I got to chat with the couple a good deal as well as with the other guests and we were all able to have dinner at the one dining table! Anyway, congratulations again, Karl and Siobhan!!! [hug]

Okay, that's the last post from my back log. I'll blog again soon with photos and details of my trip to New Zealand with my parents - in Auckland now, but will be flying to Christchurch tomorrow, can't wait! Tschus!

Photos: HM's 61st birthday celebration (Berlin)

Okay, this is for Long-Long! Entschuldigung for the delay in posting these photos! The celebration was held in the Maritim Hotel (Berlin) this year on July 17. To be honest, I actually liked this venue more than I did the Ritz Hotel (where the National Day celebration was held), haha! It's the first time the Bruneian embassy held a reception in this hotel, I do believe they did pretty well in the end. The first photo is of the Bruneian diplomats with their spouses. There was a good turnout at this reception, again more people than during the National Day celebration. Everyone enjoyed the cuisine and hopefully, the company, haha. My classmates and teachers from inLingua were also invited, as well as two college friends of mine from Trinity College Dublin. They just moved to Berlin in May since one of them got a job in Potsdam University as a postdoc. They're in the left photo on the second last row, Siobhan and Denis - lovely people! Anyway, some of these photos were taken with my camera but one of my classmates, Katerina, happens to be professional photographer, so she took a good number of really nice photos! Thanks again so much, Katerina!
