Eid Mubarak!

Assalamualaikum semua!

The arrival of Syawal marks the end of abstinence and fasting. Now, we welcome Syawal with laungan takbir, happiness, new clothes and various delicacies. Alhamdulillah, for the blessings Allah has showered us with. MasyAllah!

With that, I would like to wish you all a very wonderful and blissful Syawal dan dengan doa, semoga semua amal ibadah dan kebajikan sekalian sepanjang bulan Ramadhan di terima Allah – Amin!

Saya juga ingin memohon maaf kepada BNS family, Brunei student bodies and societies, friends and readers, jika ada hati yang terguris di sepanjang perkenalan kita. Salam perkenalan, kepada yang belum kenal. Hehe! I end this brief message with Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri!

Maaf zahir dan batin.

Hello September

Assalamualaikum everybody!

September has come, and for most of us, it is about time that we head home. Summer break is almost over, hope your time in Brunei has been marvellous and well-spent with your loved ones. I am sure most of us are ready for another chapter of Newcastle now. Don’t you guys just miss mengupi at Starbucks ramai-ramai? Speedy internet connections? Debit cards? Lectures and deadlines? The city? I am thrilled to fly back home!

Sheer anxiety, dear fellow juniors? I hope you guys are mentally and emotionally prepared for a whole new experience. Newcastle will feel like home (minus amah) to you, insyAllah – and BNS will be your family (:

Well just a reminder, our BNS Sungkai 2010 is today! Hope to see you there!

Happy September everyone!

Many love,

Atiqah Ismail.

December 1st!

Hello to all the BNS members and committees!
First of all, congrtulations to the new committees -- I do hope all of you will make a difference for all the Bruneians studying in Newcastle and surrounding areas, make them feel like home, belong and updated! :-)

Today is the 1st of December -- time flies by so fast... To those who bought advent calender, enjoy the surprises until Xmas. Winter holiday term is here soon, and am sure many of us is very busy with assignments, tests, practicals and exam preparation for January -- Good luck and work smart.


From my side, there is nothing much to update. But I do hope this blog will be filled with awesome events, juicy gossips and updates from the elected committees. After all, we are here for each other and show the others how the Bruneians roll :)


Last but not least, have a very good holiday everyone. To those who is travelling somewhere warmer this December, I will be jealous -- enjoy nonetheless.


Bebs


PS: Please put the chatbox back :) & Selamat Belated hari raya Aidil Adha to all of you -- maaf zahir dan batin

Updates

Hello to all Bruneians,
First of all apologise for not updating this blog for quite a while. My laptop is dead, that's why this blog has not been updated since then. I just got the chance today to post something.

How are all the juniors doing? Bummer! I missed the BNS Halloween Party -- I do hope everyone had fun and of course enjoyed the food and companies :)

The weather in Newcastle is as usual: FREEZING and Christmas is just next month. Speaking of Christmas, I do advise all of you to come down to the toon and admire the Christmas Window by Fenwick. Also do not spend so much this month, because next month will be mad! There will be sale and most of all: The BOXING DAY! Save up all the cash and spend it all madly on 26th December 2009!

Am not very too sure what the President and the committees have in mind for Christmas and New Year 2010! I think there should be a ridiculous awesome party, am talking about BBQs, Singstar (maybe), Wii, Movie marathon, board games and such! As well as gift exchange or something. BNS committee will definitely come up with something eventually :)

Anyways, I got to Dash for my leisure time now, since I just got a new laptop (nothing fancy or expensive... Wish I don't have to spend my Vacation money and wished it was a VAIO as well). Oh well, I should be grateful either way. Before I log out, do TAKE a good care of your laptop & never attempt to force shut down when its updating its software. OR even let it turned on for days~ Give it a rest sometimes ;)

Classic's Blog

Heys! It's me Classic~ Just wanna let you know that I've found what I can do while not working. Blogging! Hahahaha! Anyways, I'll be updating my blogger with new tips and tricks to make money either online or unemployed or employed or as a student. I will be making a blog regarding on how to make money as a student. So if any of you really need cash but your allowance from your parents or Brunei Government isn't enough, just check my blogspot out. There will be more coming soon.

Message from Bebs: Thanks Q for sharing with us, I hope success in whatever you are doing, Amin
