'basa kita'

(Title means Our Language / 'Bahasa kitani') 'Bahasa Tutong' is the language for the Tutong community in Brunei. My parents were born in Tutong, but I am not as fluent as one should be. So Ive decided that whenever i get back home for summer, I have to start collecting bits and pieces from the dad, grandma, and old folks at local kopitiam; and share them here. This is dedicated for my family back home, I miss you all

body parts (HAWTTT)

will have no explicit contents. sorry to disappoint you..hehe.

yep yep its been a wee-while since i last wrote something in here. my excuse, i need to focus on my studies. this year, almost 60% of the time i will be in clinics, seeing patients. not many lectures to go to and im not complaining..huhu. im busy at the moment helping the new brunei students settling-in etcetc. they just arrived here 3 days ago, and they are 1month late. so i guess they have heaps to catch-up on. well.. they will survive (i survived back then..huhu).
