ode to brunei!!

Yeah…I love Brunei!! :( im really gonna miss it! I cant even emphasise how much I’ll miss it. Just everything about it is fantastic – the weather, the food, places to go, Ella, but most of all – the people. My friends. Lou, Ummi, Tai, Hana, Hannah, Jess, Charlie, Naz, and anyone else who has influenced my life in anyway possible. Brunei allowed me to meet people who I know will always be there for me, people I can meet up with in 20 years time and still gossip with, people have left a permanent impression on me. Everyone I’ve met in Brunei has taught me something, from Ummis failed attempts at getting me to speak malay, to saying absolutely anything, no matter how ridiculous in front of Lou (“ivabop!!”). Brunei has given me amazing opportunities; I got to see “CATS” live for gods sakes!! It has also allowed me to buy cheap DVDs ;), NOT get the dreaded New Zealand accent, but most importantly it’s made me more culturally aware. Hopefully my friends all know that I don’t judge people by appearance – pfft! Like I can judge – look at me!! I don’t just jump to someone’s side because they’re white. I pick my friends because of who they are – and I have to say that they’re all awesome! I have at least one great memory with absolutely everyone, “CHHRRSSKK!!! Jimmy?!?”, babbling on about mikey to Tai, and Charlie? You remember when we drew smiley boobs on that soapy picture on the mirror? Thanks to my friends. Thanks to ISB. Thanks to Brunei.
