I can't wait for 2011.

From Hubby to me. :P He angered the beast, therefore he tried to sweeten her up with a Domokun bag.

My Christmas card to him. (:

Because we're lovez dovez liddat ... Awwwwwwwww ... NOT. Teehee.

Nikki listed her bad memories on her blog and I think that's an awesome way of reflecting on the idiotic parts of 2010, ergo, I shall follow her example and list down a few horrid (not really) memories from my 2010.

Lansi - I'm such a brag.

Old - It's impossible for me to be 19.

Crooked teeth - Apparently, I don't take care of my dental hygiene.

Nagging mother - Need I say more?

Break up of the century - Yeeesh.

Popping alcohol cherry - Oh dear.

Dark - For some reason, it's wrong to be tanned.

Workaholic - I'm all about work. I'm no fun. I have no social life.

Not good enough - I'm not good at whart I do.

Melayu-celup/Melayu murtad - Yeah, I'm just a tanned Caucasian.

Stress - STRESS.

Development of eye bags - A factor to looking OLD.

Pulling an all-nighter - Will never attempt this again.

"Oh, you studied in Africa? Did you stay in a hut?!"- OMG. GOOGLE CAPE TOWN WOULD YOU PLEASE.

Modern Muslim - Seriously, there is no such thing.

Glee - Just because I love Glee, doesn't mean it's my life.

Kaki clubber - I CLUB LIKE EVERY DAY WOO.


There're millions more; these are off the top of my mind. This list will be left on my blorg as a reminder for me to be more patient and thick-skinned. 2010, thank goodness you're coming to an end.

2011, BRING IT.

Kongsi House of HORROR

I came back from a 4 day trip to Penang yesterday. It wasn't a holiday trip, I kid you not, twas the official start of my dreadful short semester.

On the first day of the trip, we traveled via bus on a 5 - 7 hour trip from my campus to Georgetown. It was the worst bus ride experience of my life. I've ridden on buses to EVERY WHERE before but this was seriously the worst only because the bus was old, smelly and felt like it belonged to a convicted murderer. The driver actually looked like someone with a history of some sort of crime. Throughout the trip, he kept playing loud and depressing Malay music. GAWD.

Anyway enough about that. Whilst there, we got to see many of the historic buildings that my group and other's had to measure. My building is Cheah Kongsi and ... I'm happy I'm in the communications team cause CAD-ing that building would probably make my hair drop off completely. Not that I'm any good at AutoCad; hence the C+. So I'm in the group that's in charge of researching, interviewing people, writing reports and etc. I definitely prefer writing reports that CAD-ing. LOL! Didn't do much measuring. Teehee. ((:

Photobucket
This is the Cheah Kongsi. LOOK AT THOSE ORNAMENTS. GASP. Most of the groups that visited the Kongsi House were like "WTFHLMAO your building is so complicated haha". Boo! Lol. It's pretty difficult looking for information on this building too! The Cheah's are friendly but pretty kedekut when it comes to story telling sigh. And also, when I was observing the building, I seriously couldn't guess how the structure worked. LOL! I have to do some massive researching man.

Photobucket
This is Bob! He says HI.

The one night we camwhored. After that, my camera was filled with pictures of buildings and ONLY, buildings. THIS IS MY LIFE IN ARCHITORTURE SIGH.

I may have won a prize from the Cool Art competition I was forced to enter last semester. Hoyeah ... ? Lol. I got things in the mail today. One of which being an invitation to an exhibition by the Goethe-Institut in Solaris Hartamas next March. This is suppose to be some sort of grand reveal on who won the Cool Art contest. So I may have won or may not or whatever shit. Haha.

In other news, I got my peacock necklace and waterproof Lomocam today! :D The necklace is very pretty and the lomocam, I've decided to name Grinch because it is green and it arrived before Christmas. Yay!

I told my mom that I'm gonna stay in Malaysia next year. She seemed relieved. HAHA. Whatheck.

Need to run errands! Send Jack to the workshop. Develop film. Spend time with hubby (is this an errand? LOL). RESEARCHHHHH. Gah.

Christmas is on Saturday! To friends who celebrate it, Merry Christmas hohoho! :D

I shall immortalize Mr. Fabian's quote by typing it here; "DAMN STUDENTS!"

Other than being an absolute train wreck this week, being sick and shit, I've had a pretty awesome week! The Origami project is DONE! Celebrated Melvin's birthday! I won the cool art competition in which I totally DID NOT expect to win! My portfolio is done! But one more thing awaits, my results. Goddamn portal with it's glitches. I'm so curious as to whether I screwed up my results or not. Apparently, many people didn't do too well. I'm so fucking scared wtf. I'd cry if I didn't get an A. Holy shit.

Photobucket
Lol! Banners made by Lily and Yvo. So hilarious.

There are actually gigantic cranes as well but I was totally against that, therefore I shan't post up photos as a protest. LOOOL. >:P Photo were taken by Willow. Jack is still handicapped. )):

I'm happy with the results, I suppose. The Jellyfish project was much easier and I think coohler but that could just be me being biased over liking more organic things in comparison to symmetrical origami. :P Sorry Mr. Fabian. Haha! But I still love whart our group has made nonetheless! Awesome work man. AWEZUMMM. Thanks Mr. Fabian for the opportunity to make something for a pretty big event! And for the food you sponsored (teehee). ^^V

18:09pm; It's been 10 minutes since I've checked my results. I have mixed emotions about them but I'm mostly happy that I didn't FAIL.

Photobucket
Of all the things for me to get an A- in. I expected my Studio work to get me an A, or even my Building Con. (if my chances were good enough), but CULTURE AND HISTORY 2?! Wtfh. This coming from a person who has never gotten an A in History EVER. And the paper was fucking TOUGH. TOUGH TIL I FELT LIKE CRYING, TOUGH. I DON'T GET IT. ROFLMAO. I suppose it's a good thing I got an A- for at least one subject. Further maintaining my above 3 CGPA but it has dropped when comparing to last semester. ):

Studio and B. Con, both B+?! I could've been like points away from getting an A-! D: How frustrating. But I'm happy I didn't fail Comp. Apps. or ESD because those are the ones I thought would bring me down. But Comp. Apps ... SIGHHH. Y U C+?! If I got a B- at least my results would be prettier! TT Oh well.

AIM HIGHER NEXT SEMESTER. HWAITING!

STOP OVER SELLING BONES FOX GEEZ

The year is close to an end. I would like to express my gratitude towards my parents for allowing me to go to SO many places in this one year of 2010. Thank you so much. :D Lets list them down;

1) Singapore
2) Redang Island
3) Kuching, Sarawak
4) Shanghai, China
5) Taiping
6) Vietnam
7) Turkey
8) Malacca (twice)
9) Langkawi Island
10) In a weeks time, Penang Island.

I'm pretty fortunate eyh.

I'm kind of confused as to whart I should pursue for the upcoming year. Should I try to go to England or not? Getting a scholarship to England on your second year is tough shit, seeing as there are barely any universities that offer such things. Due to the circumstances; the lack of second year scholarships and the fact that I'm doing well getting my name around the industry (konon PFFT), I might just stay in this beloved kampung of mine until the time comes for me to fly off to my new home. I mean, if I go to England without a scholarship, use up my parents' money and shit, whart's the point? The point is for them to live easy; in luxury whilst I study under full scholarship from some big shot company or university right?

So it's best to just wait and be patient. Keep collecting good grades and testimonials, keep making thick, "impressive" portfolios, keep creating awesome relationships with the most awesomely artistic local architects and people in Malaysia, and keep building up on experiences.

Okay enough about my ridiculous thoughts. I've been on holiday and it's been 11 days since our final presentation had ended (I thought holidays were only suppose to be only 10 days? LOL). Anyway, for the pass week, I've been doing A LOT. Spending time with wives, Origami project, Langkawi -- STONINGGGGGGG. Teehee.

I won't go into detail about everything (because that would be revealing a bit TOO MUCH) so here are some photos of the epitome of absurdity and tomfoolery that is my holiday.

This is us being LALA! Hahahahahahahahaha. This is only one of many photo shoots to come. Maybe the next one will be a rempit theme? Harajuku? Jersey shore whore? :P Hahaha.

A sneak peek as to whart us archi-students are up to for the upcoming MSC event next Monday. Origami madness!

This was the third day of being in Langkawi. The other 2 days were ... lets just say not to my expectations. This was the best day of our trip to me because it was the most relaxing day EVER. I loved it. Sleeping on a hammock, drinking chocolate ice blended drinks, eating turkey ham sandwiches, watching the sun set. BLISS.

Hoyeahhh. <3

Sun sets are love. I will never despise the colours of a sun set. It's a palette that's forever evolving.

Ivy and I went to go watch Peter Pan the Musical. As excited as we were to relive our childhood through the theatrical attributes of fellow student (I assume) thespians, our excitement was fully flipped over to disappointment as we watched intensely, the agonizing musical that ripped us of an hour of our lives.

The musical was clearly for children of an extremely young generation because it barely followed the story that we grew up knowing. The songs were taken from OTHER musicals (cough WITHOUT LOVE HAIRSPRAY?!) and well ... it was just disappointing. Oh well.



I just ordered a waterproof lomocam WTF.
Okay larh that's all.

10 days of relaxation ... ?

3 days have passed since freedom of 10 days begun and so far, 'twas spent really well. Tried some new things - Bedz KL, seafood in Asia Cafe Damansara, seafood near Changkat, screaming org*sm (LOL), shopping with no regrets (fuck yeah) and all that hoopla.

Obviously, 10 days is not enough (this is BARELY a holiday) but I'll have to make due with whart I've got. Next Monday, I'll be going to Langkawi for 3 days. It's kind of worrying me that I might not have a place to stay but Gawd lets hope my dad saves us.

Will be meeting Jas tomorrow for some sort of shoot. Before that, will have to run errands which include going to the clinic to check whether I have diabetes (I know. Out of the blue).
