Finally went raya at Fa's.
We've been friends for years now,
and it's only my first time there.
Come to think of it, i haven't been
to Tajul's or Arep's or Dayah's either.

Anywho, the trip to Selayang was
hella fun. Love the food. My fav was
the kuah kacang. And later Acik brought
pulut. Ohhh heavenly pulut...~
Didn't get to taste Fa's cooking though.
Cisss.

Btw Fa, your dad's so klako ok. We still
quoting him "Rahsia Itu Indah".
Hahaha... He showed us all his
masterpiece and pix of Bali trips
and such. Damn, can't wait to go
backpacking la.

Then we ate some more, borak,
laughed, took lotsa pix... and off to
Fana's pulak. She got spaghetti, kek batik
and lasagna. All my fav. Nyum3...~

Sume kronik.

Dayah priceless. HAHA! Fa pun, aduyai...~

Ade gak pic sopan.

:)

RAYA LAGI.. .

Merdeka Raya

Woke up late this morning and decided not to have breakfast
because at lunch we'd be going to Mok Woh's open house.
I need all the tummy space to eat eat eat and eat later. Heee~

First i ate spaghetti and satay.
Then lemang with rendang.
Pastu roti cicah stew kambing.
Nyum3...~ and of course kuih muih also.

Tak sempat nak reshave pale. Heh.. .

Them ladies. Cuzzies and aunties.

Khali Mud. Mamayah. Mok Nani. Uncle Halim.

Dania and Bree. Sweeeet...~

~Selamat Hari Raya~

Went smayang raya with Papa and breakfast at his place.
Then went to Prof Hashim's house.
Later went to Ulu Langat,
baru la jumpa Mama dapat salam raya. Huhu.
This time around i don't eat too much,
i know how to control myself already. Heh.
Wore the baju melayu i got for my birthday
disponsor oleh Dayah and Shifa.
Paired with my new pants and old sampin.
Johor style la konon mismatch segala.
Not forgetting my songkok tinggi. Heee~

Ketidaksedondonan.

The trio.

Always in gedik mode. lol~

Aan found this squirrel that doesn't run away!
At first we thought it was dead.
But turns out it was still breathing... cuma tak bergerak.
So weird!
Have u ever gotten close to a squirrel without having it
run away sepantas kilat...?! Never, kan?
But this poor guy looked scared,
we guessed it must've been traumatized...
or something.
It was shaking! And there's blood on the floor next to it.
So maybe it was attacked or jatuh there.
After some time, it got more active
but still doesn't run away, just jalan-jalan a bit.
Since sugar gliders are pricey, we might as well
bela dia ni je la kan? Haha.. .

Cute huh?

And ouh it's also our 54th Merdeka Day. Yeayyy!

Sincerely Annoyed

It baffles me how a person can simply put a tag on you, making assumptions about your life and who you are when he's never even met you! This particular new virtual acquaintance took the trouble to interview me and yet my honest answers seem to dissatisfy him that he felt the need to demand assurance of their validity.

As if that wasn't insulting enough, he even insinuated something so appalling that left me aggravated. It's sad knowing that there are still those with peculiar little naive minds and make-belief notions of life and people according to their personal imaginary state of mind.

How can one be so quick to assess another?

A complete stranger, judged by nothing more but his outer appearance.

That's considerably cruel, no?

Short.

2011-08-26T04:07:00.004+08:00

It's a 'lil after 4am.
Just had ketupat pulut with rendang for sahur.
Feel like puking. Ugh...~
So malas to go to work tomorrow.
Imma stay and finish my work at home je.
Huhu ske ati.
Hope to buke with lalinks this Friday.
Can't wait!

For now, we buke sesame. Next time, we swim2 ok....?!

Iftarness

2011-08-23T22:26:00.004+08:00

It's my second week of work but we're still not doing much. I hope we'll meet the dateline with awesomeness. I've been given trust to execute the costume of one particular bad-ass chick. She's quite the character. I didn't design the costume though. But i'll be putting my spin on it a bit. Huhu~

On Sunday i got cuti, went for iftar with Mama and Baba after a week not seeing them. We bought the food from Bintang Walk and i'm surprised how i don't eat there more often. There's lotsa choices, they're affordable and taste sedap also.

The day before that, went buke at New York Deli with 5PAD peeps. Iftar aka reunion. Huhu. Some of 'em i haven't seen in seven years. Some couldn't even make it 'coz they're married with two kids. Demn. And here i am, baru nak masuk alam pekerjaan. Scary. Haha.

Obviously, i ordered bolognese la as usual. ;p

Took us forever to kumpul and kire all the money to pay up. Lol~

Went window shopping afterwards, before lepaking at Pak Li pulok.

It was fun catching up and recalling all the funny moments in class. Of course i don't remember much, but thanks to Iza la she remembers practically everything. Pity Jess couldn't make it, i was so looking forward to gossiping with her. But anyways, i had fun that night. Laughed so much~

Before that lagi, buke at Peranakan Place. First time meeting Didy after Dayah had been gossiping about her all this while. Haha. And since i followed Dayah and Shifa shopping, i accidentally bought a shirt and sweater from Kitschen. Mati la duit melayang....~

Konfiden mintak stranger amek kan gamba. Heh.. .

Sticky~

Later we watched Hangover 2 and it was so bloody klakor weyhhh...! I was exhausted and sleepy before, then terus segar when the movie starts. Usually sequels don't turn out as good as the first movie, but this is probably even BETTER than the previous one. Me lovey...~

T___T

2011-08-07T20:49:00.008+08:00

Finally got a new phone! Ended up buying Sony Ericsson even though i had been surveying Blackberry and Nokia. Haha. So now i'm a proud owner of a new Vivaz. I also did a bit of shopping, got some shirts and harem too.

We've been fasting for a week now, and today was my first time at the bazaar ramadhan! Heh... missed those days during diploma. We'd go to the bazaar everyday and eat at the POSEK (pondok at the tasek). Rindu nye zaman muda-mudi...~

Last night Rani came over and we had quite a talk... about life, family, sacrifice, future... Yeah, some heavy stuff. We're too much of an adult now. Can't we just stay KIDS...? We used to be carefree, with only school grades to worry about.

Today wasn't really a good day for me. Had a fight. Cried. Felt like shit. And it's puasa, cannot CARUT... Haha. That's what's so annoying. Haihhh but seriously i'm so down. I NEED MY ISLAND GETAWAY....!

Can i just fly somewhere... ANYWHERE???

21072011

2011-07-21T21:13:00.005+08:00

Well my 'holiday' hasn't been very productive. I started with cleaning up the room (again) and yet it still looks somewhat like a doomsday set or maybe a crime scene, with apparent sign of major struggle. Haha... And i had been swimming a lot before but it gets kinda boring swimming alone without the usual suspects. Heh. Then Mama and Baba got sick pulok.

I've been meaning to go jalan-jalan in Melaka and Genting or maybe go for an island getaway. Haihhh~ I don't have the time and money though. Bile nak inherit multi-billion $$$ ni..........?! I did, however, spend some time with Tajul, Dayah and Shifa watching Harry Potter and we got the couple seats. Haha.

It ended indeed.

Recently i got my head shaved. I dunno, just had the urge. The last time i did it was like 15 years ago. So yeah, i badly needed it i guess. Heh. Plus, i find it kinda makes me look not so jambu. Not that i look gagah now. Hahaha.. Only thing to do now is getting new wardrobe, 'coz my graphic Ts are too cute and bubbly with all the colours and illustrations, which somehow are clashing with my botakness. Lol~

Ahahahaha berangan!!!!!!

I'm trying to start being more active on FB and Twitter, and i wish i have the will to blog more often too. I'm gonna try. Ouh and i lost my phone a while back and suddenly now i'm thinking of getting Blackberry which is funny, coming from me... 'coz i'm never into up-to-date phones. Usually i'd pick something simple, as long as i can make calls and text. But now, the situation demands it, i think. People need to stay connected right? So i'm getting me one of those crackberries soon, i don't care!

I so wanna go to the Fashion Creativity in Motion show tomorrow in Bangsar. But... i have no one to go with. If my sayangs were all free then we could go together and maybe watch a movie afterwards, go makan-makan, lepaking and maybe catch a drag show later. Hahaha. But everyone's busy kan. Sedeyh!

Who can teman me? ;(

Tumpah Kuah Atas Nasi

2011-07-07T00:15:00.004+08:00

It's been 4 days since i came back from 'merantau mencari rezeki'. Hahaha... Yeah it's fun just sitting at home now watching movies, browsing tenet and swimming je. I had again taken a job as a wardrobe-assistant-dresser-person, this time around in a movie directed by Dato' Zahim Albakri called Spilt Gravy On Rice.

So for a whole month the other wardrobe crew and i had been staying at Kak Jerry's in Pantai Dalam. She does hair. It makes more sense to stay there rather than travel every single day from Shah Alam to KL. Plus, the calltime is usually around 5am like that. The shoot is mostly done in Jalan Kia Peng, at the house where Dato' Zahim grew up.

I had never seen the play, but this movie version looks promising. I was already in love with the script and after seeing how everything is visualized; the cast and the set and the makeup and the wardrobe... i'm sure it'll be a hit. Wahaha pandai nye aku predict. LOL~

Here's some of the crew with Juliana Ibrahim who plays Zaitun, a bimbo-type-trophy-wife. I picked the pink dress by the way. Macam la design aku, nak bangga sangat. Hahaha. Other cast include Harith Iskandar, Jit Murad, Dato' Rahim Razali, Ida Nerina, Melissa Saila, Nanu Baharudin and many more! All the taiko in this movie oke, don't play play.. .

Keluarga Paksom

2011-05-25T00:31:00.006+08:00

Since semester's out, we're anxious to have the much needed and long overdue FUN... so we went swimming a lot, finally! I'm officially broke after all the preparations for my finals and the fashion show, so it's totally out of the question to go out for movies or bowling or karaoke. Swimming was the obvious choice to let off steam with my bebeh all. Too much fun though, i almost demam. Haha.. .

Ekhwan feeling2 mermaid in Pirates of the Carribean...~

Now Dayah is already doing practical at Gold Trim. Arep's working in Melaka. Tajul's back lecturing. Ekhwan also busy. And i'm gonna start work soon too. So when are we gonna get to meet up like this again eh? When we do get the chance, we'll hit the pool, and Fa, you're coming too. No alasan k?! Haha.. .

Convo Season

2011-05-24T22:18:00.006+08:00

I'm no professional, but it's been kinda my thing to be a part of my friends' convo, capturing the happy moments. It's a change of scene for me though to shoot at the new dewan. But it's kewl! Very UFO-ish. Haha.. .

First, it was Shifa's.

Berry also came down from Melaka 'coz it was also Nabil's convo.

And of course, it was Fa's convo as well.

See, UFO kan? Haha.. .

Fun in the sun~

And on a different day, it was Rani's turn pulak.

CONGRATZ GUYS!!!

Final 06

2011-05-23T16:49:00.010+08:00

Where to begin? It's been too long since my last post. The gap is filled with all kinds of crap. From horror stories to devastating news, from startling revelations to astonishing discoveries, from WTHs to WTFs... and now, at the moment... i feel a certain calmness.

Alhamdulillah. My final assessment went well and the Degree Fashion Show earlier this month went well too. Even before that, i had gotten a lot of positive feedbacks when En. Faizal posted on FB the picture of my first design that Ecal shot. It psyched me up real good to get such awesome reactions from people.

So with the help of my sayangs, i finished up the rest of my collection. Two menswear and two womenswear altogether. The gears look awesome (i think). Haha. So just to update, i had disregarded the Mecca Clock Tower as my inspiration. Instead, i went with TIME. Yep, time is the inspiration behind the slightly steampunk-ish collection. Obviously because of all the gears (clockwork). Haha. Well you have to read my design statement to understand it.

Ouh and also, since the clay proved to be unsuitable as it breaks easily... i found another alternative. Well it was Mama's idea and Papa found the place. Teamwork sangat. Heh. We sent leather fabric to be laser-cut, and then we just paint 'em to look like rusted metal. Same thing... it worked and looked no different than the ones made from clay.

My first design was supposed to be the revealing jacket (menswear) but for the purpose of our photoshoot, it was better to go for womenswear... so the jacket was turned into the second design while the first became a cocktail dress. It's been a dream of mine since my first year in fashion to one day have Tengku Azura wear my design. During the show, she wore the cocktail dress. Sukenye saye~

Azura. KS. Eryna. Nazim

My collection was the fifth to come out on the runway and the first that had menswear. Rani was bacsktage helping me. When the models were all set and we're waiting for my music to come on, Rani and i looked at each other and we had a "this is it" moment. Haha.

Looking back, we've been friends since post SPM and we used to talk about how he wanted to pursue law and how i had wanted to get into the fashion industry. And there we were. Me, presenting my final degree collection in a big fashion show with Tengku Azura no less! And Rani is now with Zul Rafique & Partners, a major law firm.

We've made it.

Haha. Or so it seemed la, at the moment. So we simply enjoyed the moment while we could. My name was called so i went out on the runway to take a bow... and then... i went out the wrong way. Haha! Bengong. Ok moment's over. ;P

Then i went to find Mama amongst the crowd. It meant the world to me for her to be there. She is my number one fan. She has always... ALWAYS believed in me. Plus, it was Mother's Day so it was also my gift to her in showing my collection. As always, when it comes to Mama... i cried. Filzah even caught me on camera. Kantoi crybaby. Lol~

The crying pic still with Filzah. Ni dah sober. Huhu.. .

I'm also grateful for Papa finally coming around to accept me being in fashion. Towards the end, he helped a lot and not only financially. Tanx to En. Faizal for all the words of encouragements and giving me the creative freedom. Mama, Kak Long and Aan helped a lot too in putting together the gears, tanx guys!

Tanx to my sayangs aka anakanda sekalian; Arep, Dayah, Shifa and Rani for ALL the help. Couldn't have done it without you guys! Tanx to Filzah for the moral support and Fa, tanx for being there. I really appreciate it. Tajul, you couldn't make it but i know if you were there, you'd cheer the loudest... so i thank you too. And Ekhwan, i thank you for NOT showing up because i know you'd make a scene, harassing the models. Haha kidding. Seriously now, THANK YOU ALL... LOVE YA LOADS...~

Trimasz Arep, for highlighting my moment of fame/embarrassment;

Can't wait to watch it!

So many birthdays lately. Aan's was two days ago, same day with Ili. But we nochet celebrate. We'd probably go makan-makan this weekend or something. That's all the time i can spare though, 'coz now i'm super busy.

Ugh... All this work is wearing me down, taking me on a rollercoaster of emotions. Plus, some people are adding to my suffering, for whatever reason i know not. I need my homies so bad. Rindu korang...~

Lihat, emosi tidak stabil.

The other day i uploaded our diploma pix and then... Anep uploaded our BTN pix weyh! Gle klakor! So unexpected, he got it from Blok N nye Resident Staff, En Nasa. Lol. He must've been our official photog during that time.

Ayo0 memories. Haihh...~

Well here's a 'lil update on my gears. I use black clay of course, that's the most suitable base color for metal effect, no? 'Coz later i'd dab them with metallic bronze paint, play with the arrangement and adding metal detailing to make it more realistic.

It's tedious, ok?!

But i guess it's worth it. Everyone was fooled into thinking it's real metal. En Faizal and some other lecturers were excited with it too, so i'm more than happy. Now i'm working on the toile and it's looking great. Gonna start on the actual soon.

Need more of this. Any volunteers?

Hye, Fa.. .

Mama's Birthday

2011-02-09T22:15:00.010+08:00

Planned to have a potluck for Mama's birthday on Saturday but since she'll be working that day we decided to celebrate on Sunday instead. It's Friday, Aan and i were helping Papa move into a new apartment when Kak Long told us of a new plan to surprise Mama at 12am. Friday night, she's always at Uncle Halim's place, joget2. So we were to go and surprise her with a cake. Baba's plan. We got there way past 12am. Huhu~

Pity. The first shot of Mama all surprised, and i didn't realize the lens was on Manual mode. It's ALWAYS on Auto Focus... No idea how that happened.. .

Birthday gal, with the single ladies.. .

A wish was made.. .

Her fave... Secret Recipe's Chocolate Indulgence.. .

Cut away! We're starvin' for some yummy cake.. .

Olololo...~

*drools uncontrollably*

So that was that. After makan-makan us beradik went home, leaving them folks to continue joget. Aan and i were too bloody exhausted from all the angkut barang to stay there any longer. So we got home and slept like a log. Wait, that IS the right expression, kan? ...like a LOG? Sounds lame though, ain't it? ;p

On Sunday, we had the potluck. I helped prepare the sandwiches.

Kak Long made spaghetti and meatballs.. .

Mama made nasi tomato and ayam masak merah. My fave, but kinda pedassss~

Ni sedap gak. It's crunchy a bit on the outside, inside lembut and got sambal. NyumNyum.. .

MamaMia.. .

Loike this pic, because of the reflection. Nak pic gini gak.. .

The hostess.

Everyone.. .

Tom Cruise was there too.. .

Hepi 24...~

2011-01-31T01:15:00.004+08:00

Went to Night Circle for dinner since it's cuti and Tajul came to visit 'coz he misses us already and have tonnes of gossip. Haha. Plus, it's his birthday. So after the dinner and talking and laughing, we lepak at Dayah's pulak.

There, we had the sinfully sinful chocolate cake. Demn~ Dayah went to meet up with a client while we sambung talk-talk some more. Best la. I always enjoy our time together like that. Reminds me of Melaka days. Heh.. .

Heading towards Jubli Intan. Haha.. .

Kelasszzz kao mariaaaa~

Sayangs.

So anyway, i'm glad everything's going well for you in Jengka. Sounds like you're having fun in your classes all, and we do wish we could sneak in one day and blend in with your students... nak witness sendiri your honest unstoppable goofiness in class. Haha.. .

We're almost real adults now, my friend. But let's still have fun before we're really too old. Heeee.....~ I pray for your health, your happiness, and the love that you seek.

Mmmuuuaaaahhhhh!!!

In Loving Memory.. .

2011-01-30T02:00:00.004+08:00

Ok, i know you're not dead yet. But i miss you. I hate this. When we gonna lepak la?! I dug up all the pix of us, together... since diploma. Haha. Reminiscing the good ol' times in Melaka, our first 'hello', the gossip, the stress, the makan-makan, the laughing and crying all.... Haihh. YOU, along with Tajul, Arep and Dayah are my forever sayangs. But you, i haven't seen in the longest time ok.

Nanges...~ T_T

Fun and Work

Friday

I wanted to look for some clay while Abid and Zharin wanted to do their photography assignments so we agreed on KLCC, plus there was a photography exhibition that day. But turns out there's no art shop, i had gotten the info mixed up in my head. I was supposed to look in Berjaya Times Square. Dayah told me just now. Pffttt~ How the hell did i think it was in KLCC...?! But anyways, we were there and the first thing we decided on was to have lunch but then we lalu at the cinema and went to buy tix pulak. Haha. Wanted to watch Khurafat but then settled for Season of the Witch instead.

The movie was like in another hour so we went makan first. I missed pasta at the food court so i got myself some tasty marinara. Nyum Nyum~ There were six of us; Abid, Qaril, Shahril, Zharin, Ieka and moi. By the way, Ieka is also known as Misae. Yes, as in mak Shin Chan tu. Hahaha.. .

Sesudah kenyang.

Fun at Toys'R'Us.. .

Crappy poster.
But Season of the Witch sucks too. Haihh~

After the movie we went to the World Press Photo exhibition. Some of the works were kinda disturbing, the war ones. Nice, but ain't for everyone la y'know. Ngeri~ But there were of course lotsa kewl ones too. Namely, this photo by Robert Gauthier of Yankees fans trying to distract an Angels left fielder which won 1st prize in the Sports.Features.Singles category.

Lucky shot? I love this!

This one is kewl too. It's a series of andro kids by Annie van Gemert. Katenye "Before they reach puberty, some boys and girls can appear androgynous." Oh-so-true... Been there. Hahaha...!

2nd prize Portraits.Stories.. .

Then there's the slaughterhouse series. Tommaso Ausili won 3rd prize for the Contemporary.Issues.Stories category. The issue; "Neatly packaged meat in supermarkets is often completely detached in consumers' minds from the process of its production."

We get the picture.

Then, even though it was starting to get dark outside, the boys wanted to start shooting for their photography assignment. Basic stuff, DOF bagai tu la kan. I wanted to head back but i knew the train would be hella pack, rush hour kot. So i joined in the fun.

Photographer in the making.. .

Dah lame tak jumpe swing.

The twins.

I wanted to check out the art shop at the Gardens for that clay. Abid decided to join me as he was looking for some fabric paint. So first all of us headed back to KL Sentral. We had ice cream and lepak for a bit of gossip then Abid and i made our way while the others balik dulu. Finally found it, but in a packet. I wanted the balang one like the Giffy guy showed me mase kat Rantai that day. But actually it was enough. I needed to experiment with it first anyway. No need so much.

What's it for?

Well here's the collage of my first design. Look at all the clockwork detailing. If i were to use real cogs and gears, the baju would weigh a tonne! The model will totally curse me. Lol~ So i had an idea of menipu a bit, for the sake of goodness (of course) to use clay disguised as metal.

Death wish.

So i sculpted the clay into the shape of a gear and painted it bronze for that old metal effect. It's polymer air dry clay which means you don't have to oven bake it. It dries by itself and doesn't get hard. It stays a bit squishy but the shape remains. Plus it's so light. It's really quite brilliant.

So is it convincing enough...?

Now i have to make loads more with different shapes and sizes and play with the arrangement of the faux gears so that it's relevant and necessary, making the garment wearable and not look stupid. Heh. It really is a death wish huh? Mati la weyh.....~ But it's a breeze compared to the tediousness of chainmail, i think. So anyways, saye harus GIGIH...! ;p

Hari Jejadian

2011-01-23T02:01:00.013+08:00

Planned to have a pool party for my birthday. Well it was Dayah's idea. If i had my way i wouldn't want any reminder of my being yet another year older now. I'm done growing up, can't i just stay 23 forever...? But Dayah insisted, so we got everyone together at my place on the 8th. Change of plans though... we ended up just having Domino's while watching Scott Pilgrim vs the World. No pool. No party. Just a bunch of kids hangin'. But it was fun, we had a blast. First, we went to buy the pizzas and while waiting we hung out at Tutti Frutti. We've got new addition to the gang now- Abid and Zharin.

Before the semester began, Aiman had told me that he needed to move out of his old place because some biatch who's been badmouthing him all over Malaya was actually going to move in and be his roommate (motif?!). So i suggested he moved in with Zharin since he's finally continuing his degree this semester and was also looking for a place to rent. So now they are housemates, along with Abid.

Mah peeps.. .

Cuppy cakes! Mine is the one that has "24" on it. D'oh.. .

An epic of epic epicness. LOL~

I'm loving this version by Martin Ansin.

Keesokannya pula, went out with Mama, Aan and Kak Long for lunch at Ikea. Obviously i had the meatballs. Heh..

God, i'm so lapar now.. .

See how happy i am with all those balls?

Afterwards, we went for a movie. We've been hearing quite the hype on Hantu Kak Limah Balik Rumah. It's kinda continuition to Zombie Kampung Pisang, so i know it MUST be hella good. And it was! Ayo0 we were laughing like mad. Bengong gle kot.

CeCite CeCite~ Haha!

Makan at Paddington House of Pancakes pulok.

Don't remember what it's called, but quite nice lorr.. .

Savouring the awesomeness.. .

Uuh ini sedap juge. Hot choc with marshmallows.. .

Lamb + Pancakes. Weird, but nice mix...~

T'was a good day indeed. ;D

Tuesday

After Pn Shaliza's briefing Ayunck, Izah and i went to Muzium Negara for research. Jeez, haven't been there so long. I'm changing my subject matter from the Gunung Ledang painting and was in search of something else that would relate to the Dunia Melayu theme but still allow me to explore the steampunk look. I'm not gonna go all out on the accessories and gadgets though, since there won't be enough time for those stuff.

Lame dah x naek bas...~

Ayunck, too, wanna change her subject matter. She found a great replacement, something the 3 of us (and i bet many others) have never heard of before - Jebak Puyuh. It is a wood-carved bird trap and it's so pretty and elegant and cool and it's so original, too. I bet none of our seniors have ever had it as their inspiration before. Izah is doing about weaving and there was a great book on aboriginal weaving techniques which Ayunck and i told her to get but she refused to. The next day dah menyesal. Haha.. .

As for me, there wasn't any suitable accessory that i saw fit to be the ultimate inspiration in my quest for the steampunk look. So i thought maybe an old train would do. The steam locomotive type. All i need now is to bridge the philosophical gap between the subject matter of steampunk locomotiveness and the dunia melayu. Heh. How to relate those two together?

Ketapi Tua

Wednesday

But then, i saw En Faizal to propose the idea and he gave me a book with all this armour and chainmail and stuff... and i'm like WHAAAATTTT.....?! If only i had found this book sooner, then i would have went with the medieval-armour-knight-in-chainmail look that i was really into last semester. Haihh... But i'm kinda not so sure on the chainmail idea now, coz it's just so tedious! Maybe i'll just use it in certain parts. But... chainmail in steampunk??! Ok kot...? Bak kate Cik Melon, Fusion Reaction! LOL~

Chainmail.

Last night, as i was researching on illustration techniques, Aiman called and told me to come down as he needed to talk. I knew what was up. I got down to the lobby and saw the orange Myvi and it was full. Zharin, Abid and Adam was with him. They came all the way just to go to Tutti Fruiti. So i hopped in, wearing my
batik pants.

We got there and naturally Zharin was the loudest. After boraking for a while, Aiman handed me my birthday present. Yeayyy! But i wasn't supposed to open it yet, not 'til midnight. Heh. But i unwrapped it anyways, as soon as i got home. Haha. It was a green checkered shirt. GREEN! So i'm happy...~ Ahaha.. .

Friday

Went to see En Faizal again but he's still not convinced with the steam locomotive. He looked at my research on steampunk and i told him about the cogs and gears so he had me searching for a middle eastern technology that might have used such things. Well, since clockwork is a big part of steampunk, i typed in on my laptop "Islamic Clock" and voila... there it was, the Mecca Clock Tower. I never heard of it until just then. But En Faizal approved of it. Now obviously i can't relate this to the dunia melayu theme so i have to be going towards the Islamic theme. Ayo0 how la....?!

Inspirasiku~ LOL.. .

New Year New Sem New Hair

2011-01-03T19:55:00.001+08:00

Happy New Year!

Well it's already the 3rd, and i didn't even celebrate during the countdown. Have i ever? Watched movies at home je with Kak Long and Aiman... and later got a good view of the fireworks, from our window in the living room. See, no need celebrate outside oso. Heh.. .

First day of Semester 6 today.

And for the first time, i was nervous going to the fac. Haha.

Went out with Arep oso today, teman dia buy new handphone. Nokia C3. His old phone, bengong ledi. So he was in dire need of a replacement. Made me wanna buy one too, though i don't even need it. Haha. Ish cannot, gotta save for my finals. FINALS! Ayo0 nervous balik.

Later we went potong rambut with Aiman at a barber shop named Mr Handsome! Huhu... I now look like a kid in a 90's boyband with this new 'do. LOL~ Well i have been meaning to keep my hair long again but i realized i never wanna be bothered with worrying about how to style it or to just keep it looking neat and tidy. It would just berpintal like crazy and i'd look like a mad person so better potong je trusss. Puas ati aku. ;D

Ok gotta continue with my research now. Cayokkk2....~

Babbling Yet Again~

2010-12-13T02:17:00.003+08:00

Now, more than ever, i acknowledge the fact that people DO change... or at least some people do. For better or worst, there are changes inside you. And when parts of you change, certain other parts need to adjust as well. When the essence in your heart change, maybe your mind needs minor alteration. When your soul is affected by life's circumstance, your faith may need some mending.

Knowledge changes you.

Reality changes you.

Love changes you.

Drugs, Money, Age...

Pretty much everything could change you.

But good or bad, all you need to get through these changes is a good support system; The reaching hand to pull you up, the shoulder to cry on, the ears to listen to you intently... and what happens when you're missing the support system? What if family refuses to accept the change ? What if friends could not fathom it? What then if you, yourself still haven't fully embrace the change?

Could God give the answers? Would He?

Can the words from a shrink help?

Or will motivational books do the trick?

Could Oprah enlighten you?

Will a vacation to Europe somehow be enough?

Or should a miracle present itself and make things right once and for all?

Life, i fear, is never that simple.

What better to do then but to pray and listen intently to your own voice within the deep cracks of your soul. Allow tears to fall... and leave them to dry. Reveal hidden wounds... and treat them. Argue with yourself... and make up your mind.

Accept the change.

Embrace it.

Believe in yourself.

Let God guide you.

Be at peace in your mind, within your heart and...

SMILE.. .

It's a lil' over 3am and i have no idea what i'm still doing up at this hour. I'm already so damn sleepy! Why won't i sleep?! Blame it on the net, so many stuff to explore. Heh. Ouh i'm currently working on something (clue; mercury poisoning. lol~) and really psyched with the progress so far. Can't wait to finish it and show aDe and the rest. We should definitely have a photoshoot before the big day huh? TERUJA!

Ok i really gotta sleep. Nitey~

Kak Long's rite leg around the knee got bengkak 'coz she tore some tissue while bowling last week. Ayo0 ganas nye. So on the way back from the clinic after her checkup, while on the road... there was a van in front of our car and it had a doll hanging at the back.

Now this ain't exactly something new, i mean i've seen people hang small teddy bears and such at the bottom back part of their car. I never understood why though (ain't it kinda cruel?). But anyhow, this van in particular hung a very creepy doll... it's in human baby form, all raggedy, without any clothes, and with what seemed like real human hair covering its face. I'm telling you, never have i seen such life-like hair on a doll.

Is it some kind of a voodoo doll or something? It really creeped me out! Tapi sempat la gak nak amek gambar kan... LOL~

Thoughts?

GUESS!

Yesterday was Tajul's convo. Thank you for trusting me as your photographer bebeh. Hope the pix ain't a dissapointment. It rained so everyone berteduh. No sun to give me all the natural light i needed. So i used direct flash and it kinda looked like they had convo at NIGHT...! Hoho... But it's kewl though 'coz the focus is on them, with the background all dark.

Today Aan's convo pulak. And graphic peeps... saw Kuwe and wifey, Boyak, Berp and ramai lagi. Fashion peeps lak i saw Nizam, Hafiz, Mie, etc. But ramai juge tak kelihatan. Was busy taking pix anyway, so didn't really have time to look 'em up. Sentap 'coz some of 'em congratulate me back when i said Congratz! to them.

Aku ade satu sem lagi laaaaa.....~

Love that you were smiling all the way.

Finally i've got some free time on my hands to continue with editing Ahya's pix which i shot in August (so long ago ar?). He wore my Aramdillo Jacket and the jacket from my practical training... the recycling project thingy. I made it using plastic bag and a bit of felt material, detailed with nuts and bolts and chains at the back.

Filzah wanted to shoot Rita in Nik Erwan's for her assignment so i joined in. Huhu. So credit to you, Filzah and Eyva for the lighting and makeup.

This was the one i posted before.

And here are some of the new ones:

Azab oke jahit PLASTIK...!

Would Adam Lambert wanna wear this?

It's Shifa's final sem so she bunked in at my place in Klang along with Dayah, Aiman, Ken, Arep and Rani. We all helped a bit here and there, each of us with expertise in different areas. Huhu. Ramai nau anak payong nye. Now the show's over already and it went great! Well ok maybe GOOD, not great... Some of the brooch were broken and two pairs of shoes went missing. But hey other than that, thumbs up to Shifa coz dah berjaya! Next sem is my turn and i'm already sick to my stomach just thinking 'bout it.

Then Rani had an open house which was long overdue coz it's for Raya and now only he got the time, like... during Deepavali dah kot. So more or less it's kongsi-raya la kan? Heh.

Bile mak hayam Shifa bekarya... makan ati dowh...!!!!

I didn't wanna go back to Kedah or Ganu or wherever for that matter, but there was no luck convincing Mama. Not that i actually tried. She was already so pissed by the mention of it, i couldn't bare to see her flip out even more if i had pushed on... so i just kept quiet most of the time as she stated the obvious on why i shouldn't stay.

I had a lot on my mind, with the fucked up stuff that's been going on and not to mention the finals drawing near. The pressure of it all... i just needed to be alone. Maybe get away for a while. But since everyone was going away for raya, i thought then i could just stay. Same thing ain't it? As long as i'm left alone. But i ended up going anyway...... all sulky and moody.

Doesn't show though, right? ;p

Headed to KLCC for more info on Ermenegildo Zegna. Once that's done, Fa wanted to go back with her mom so we split up. Aiman and i went to Avenue K after saying babai. Apparently, Fa hung out a bit to take pix of billboards and all, not realizing she caught us on camera! Dah balik umah baru prasan ye? Heh.. .

Seriously, how could you have NOT seen us?

Jalan-Jalanan

2010-08-30T14:47:00.007+08:00

After the Nissin hunting, i went out again with Fa and Aiman the next day... to Uncle Halim's house. Mama got a new video camera so she wants me to record all the dancing. Yeah, she goes joget2 over at Uncle's sometimes and also at Quality Hotel every now and then. Haha. So anyway, that night... we were early. Mama nochet sampai so Uncle taught us a bit of salsa and chacha. Quite a workout, i must say.. Kalau Dayah join, tatao la pe jadik. Haha.. .

Afterwards we went eat2 at Rasta, eating pasta (hey that rhymes!). But Aiman got real sick later. Tsk tsk tsk.. .

Next day, went ikea pulak. Yeke? I don't remember the timeline ledi, Fa. Did we really hung out 3 days straight? Heh.. .

Aiman shopped for his client and later we went to her house and me and Fa got to see him at work. He did a nice interior for this client, i'm impressed. When we got there, he rearranged the place a bit, adding the new stuff he'd bought earlier...

...and voila! Kewl eh?

Two weeks later, went to MODA show.

Then one night, Kaklong masak dengan penuh semangat. Really enjoyed this dinner.. .

Few days later went to Pavi to do research on Ermenegildo Zegna, accompanied by The Twins.

Went shopping raye, and eating at Manhattan Fish Market with the family... plus Aan's gf. Apparently they're planning to get married. Pfttt...~

After the shop2, or maybe before that... Papa took me and Aan to the PC Fair. I finally got a laptop, Toshiba Satellite L655. Papa's gf lak got us a printer. Kewl!

Illustrations

2010-08-30T12:35:00.007+08:00

Found old stuff mase spring cleaning time cuti, my Illustration assignment.. I used to love and hate this class. Haha. I love drawing, but hate the dateline. How? ;p

The 3D collage. Love it. But now, hancur ledi.. .

Sketch of first assignment. I like pencil rendering. Color? Not so much.. .

The unfinished half scale illust that the lecturer adored. He sez i'm gigih at doing the hair and beads, padahal contengan je. Haha.. .

This one, my ultimate fave. 'Coz lotta effort in it. The collage on the jacket is meng-stress-kan-sunggoh~

Ouh ok. This ain't no illust. But i lost the soft copy of this, so i never uploaded it. It's my cocktail dress from 2nd semester. Found the mounted one, so i took the pic and finally put it up here. Cool x? The sleeve, got 20 buttons on each side. Haha.. .

Distressing as it may be, i try not too let the emotional storm waver my energy too much. But it seems that the flame of my aura flickers so to the point of nearly causing my soul to blackout.

No use in denying it no more, it does affect me. How can it not? It was, however, quite uplifting to discover a side of Mama that was simply poised and full of contentment when she was faced with a loss. And a big one too, i might add.

Somehow, though... she had the strength to accept and be at peace with reality. This is what we call redha.

I wish i had that kind of mental power. Afterall, i have so much more to be thankful for. I look around now, and see that i'm really blessed... and there's no reason to be troubled by such nonsense.

So, to whom it may concern...

Fuck off!

Uuhyeaahhh~

Friday

Finally had the buke puase of a lifetime with 'em sakai lauts. Balik tu, saket rahang, too much LOLs. Haha... We went to Santai, all 10 of us. Fa, Arep, Tajul, Dayah, Shifa, Aiman, Rani, Ekhwan, Johan and myself. Aiman got Murtabak Awesomeness, which pretty much beats the Murtabak Heaven from Melaka. Fa, she ate Sponge Bob's house. Keji. Sian dia. Shifa had goreng pisang gigantic. Haha. Rani, well... he ate everything form everyone's plate. Program "Mari Makan-Makan" katenye. So much for that diet.. .

After buke, all the other tables started to clear, but we're still rancak bergosip. So many stories... of Rani wanting a makeover, Dayah betrayed by a good friend, Fa with her new 'rakan wayang', a certain psycho kid junior dissing me... and so much more. But we ain't done. Planned to catch a movie then x jadi. So we went McD instead, for ice-cream and more chit chats. This time, we got even louder. Topics more unappropriate... other tables were eyeing us one kind ledi. Haha.

Then it was time to go. I had fun. We all did. Good to know Tajul grinned his way to lalaland. I wasn't in that great a mood by the time i reached home though, coz only then had i found out it was Arep's birthday! No wonder he was kinda reserved earlier. I didn't realize the date at all, but even if i did, i still wouldn't have wished him. Apparently i've always mistaken his birthday to be on the 28th. Dayah's reminder also states the same. Last year i was late in wishing Arep too, so i felt really guilty about it. But now i guess we're even 'coz while i keep mistaking his birthday to be a day later, Arep kept mistaking mine to be a day earlier. Haha.

280810
Saturday

And so the next day, we celebrated Arep's big step into somewhat of an adulthood. Haha. We're not ready to grow up fully just yet ok. This time around, there's only Aiman, Dayah, Shifa, Birthday Boy and myself je. Tajul was breaking fast with family, Fa had a date and Rani couldn't make it. But we still had a great time eating at the tasek, enjoying Shifa's spaghetti and the popia pedas and the Flaky Chocolate cake. Arep is a big prankster, always kenekan people. So while taking pix together, it was time he got kene back. I smeared (a bit only) cake on his face but then he grabbed me and i oso kene. We didn't kejar2 though, deciding that we're slightly more grown-up for that stuff. Haha.. .

P/S: Samat Ari Tua, rep. Don't worry, aku ngan Dayah dah set reminder btol2 kali ni. Haha.. .

Mama Day

2010-06-07T18:02:00.001+08:00

When i was a kid, i used to do hand-made cards for Mama's birthday or Mother's Day or for when she was going Umrah. I even made pop-ups and always had some kinda writing, a note for her that i'd write really from the heart... 'coz i'm so damn sentimental. Heh. Such a momma's boy, i know. But she loves 'em. She appreciates 'em more than gifts that we buy.

But then, it's been a while since i made those kinda stuff. She's mentioned it before and for the recent Mother's Day, she mentioned it yet again, how she misses the hand-made cards and the notes. To me, she sounded kinda sad... like as if we kids don't care about her anymore. And it pissed me off. Especially 'coz i already made something for her.

It's no hand-made card. It's a video. But it's an honest gift from my heart. I've fallen in love with 'Song for Mama' by Boyz2Men and had always wanted to use it. And this year, i made it a song for MY mama in her video. I didn't include any caption 'coz the lyrics say it all.

We celebrated by going makan-makan. First we tried the new Ayam Penyek place at sec7 then went lepak at Bun-D for some entertainment. Huhu. When we're finally home, we got into the room and showed her the video.

She played it over and over again.

The video is of her life... it has pix that shows bits and pieces of her life's journey. The idea is to trigger memories... good and bad. She's gone through so much- she's achieved a lot in her career and she's found herself spiritually and of course, she found love... and managed to raise the 3 of us. I hope she realizes how i look up to her and how much i love her. She's the single soul that keeps me sane all the while growing up. I think it's her prayers that has kept me safe.

P/S: Check out the video. I especially like the transition of the pic from my Diploma days to my Convo. The two pictures were taken years apart, but the angles nearly matched, making the transition kinda smooth. And it showed how time had passed. I grew the janggut, while Mama grew... bigger. Haha.. .

Practical Training

2010-06-07T16:33:00.001+08:00

So the thing with our practical training... The three of us; Bard, Azi and myself had applied to TV3 a while back but i always had Jezmine's boutique in mind. I was really looking forward to it and eager to cancel on TV3, that is, after i've gone for the interview. I just wanted to experience the interview there... and IF ever i got the job, i'd just have to decline.

I mean, i've done wardrobe before, for Merong. I wanna learn about business now, how to set up my own boutique. I was hoping to learn a lot from Jezmine. I pictured it all in my head going on perfectly. Heh.

But then, pity... En. Anas didn't agree to it. Apparently it ain't good for our department's reputation if i walked away from TV3 when i've already applied there. But i haven't even gone for the interview yet and i don't even know if they'll take me. And one other reason for me to walk away is that i know i'd be late like... everyday!

Johan was late once, and had to write proper letter to apologize. Maybe i should print out 100 copies of the letter and give 'em out in advance to my future boss then. I mean, i'm late everyday already going to class... which is like 10 minutes away from home oke?! But still, the lecturers agreed that we all should stick with TV3.

But then, one fine day... there was a meeting which... i didn't join for some reason. Apparently En. Anas handpicked 20 students to do practical in our department. There's a big project- Waste to Wealth, which will have us creating a collection made from used stuff. I hadn't gone for the TV3 interview and i'm not allowed to go to Jezmine. Training starts on Monday and it was already Friday. Heh.

So what i did was... on Monday, i simply joined the briefing along with the 20 selected students, assuming i'm included in the project. Only after the briefing had i went up to En Anas to tell him i wanted in. And now, here i am. Here we are. Four groups of five, trying to come up with our own collection of Waste to Wealth.

The first week, lecturers were impressed with my group's research presentation, along with Bard's group. So now we're like really pressured to come up with the good stuff y'know. But i've only started to cut out the Coca Cola cans and don't quite know what to do next...just yet.

Early on, we've interviewed some people, handled jual-jual booth and fashion show in Lorong Seni @ Putrajaya, and also went to the Pusat Komuniti Kitar Semula where we collected the items needed for our project. My group got mostly tins but we also found this felt material... and there was a lot of it! Tanx to Mia who spotted it first. So we're gonna work with metal and aluminium and plastic... and of course, the felt material.

When we found it, it was obviously kotor and busuk, so we sent it to the dobi, asking how much it'd cost if it was hand-washed. We dunno what would happen if it's washed in the machine... like, would it hancur or jadi bulu-bulu or what right. So we left it there for the laundry people to measure how big it was and weigh it or something and call us up for the actual price.

They later called Shifa and said it'd be around RM100 or so. Demn. We have no money so Shifa told 'em nevermind, we'd pick it up and wash it ourselves later. She confirmed with them twice NOT to basuh. But before we got there, the carpet-washer-people came and collected our carpet at the dobi by mistake and they've washed it. Demn.

The original price was RM124 but the dobi got offer, so it's RM80. But since it's all a big mistake, we settled for half the price. If i had my way, i wouldn't pay a sen. But it's Shifa and Dayah's fav dobi. So i can't make a scene. Haha.. .

But mostly, during our practical training... i got to stay home and do some spring-cleaning which took 3 days... for my room alone. Heh. I get up in the morning and rush to the fac but my punchcard still has a lotta red in it. Then i stay home, searching for movies to download and stuff, and go punchcard some more after 5pm. What a life.. .

This... was kinda fun. ;p

There was a shoe convention thingy and THE Jimmy Choo gave a talk on his journey to where he is now in the industry. Some of us were lucky enough to have been there, tanx to En. Faizal. Jimmy Choo, well... he was surprisingly.... Malaysian. Haha. I mean, the way he talks... I thought he'd have an English accent or something, but no... he had very typical local inggelish accent like that. But his talk was inspiring, uplifting and amusing. Some of the things he said:

"Accept criticism"

"Don't wait for tomorrow"

"Sketches must be good"

"Don't know, ask!"

"Be sincere in what you do"

"Work for yourself, not others"

And of course:

"I talk to my shoes"

Starstrucked oke.

Mampu?!

Clutch Ready for Submission.

I ain't too happy about it though. Apart from the fact that they all did awesomerrr design than me, the leather shop lady who i paid to join the clutch together did an awfully terrible disastrous job. She bloody joined the metal clasp thingy to the bag with... can u believe it... DOUBLE-SIDED-FUNGKING-TAPE. And it's VISIBLE. Hawokk gle oke. Motif sangat...! But i covered it up... and this is it.

Is it too makcik-makcik...?

UNISEL Diploma Show.

Their designs were actually kinda kewl, compared to our Degree peeps who had their major project on display few weeks back. But then, UNISEL's Degree Show, too, ain't so yummy. How's that? Dip is waaayyy better, same goes to juniors in Melaka. Their work is better than some Degree projects here. Yikes~

Great idea in this one.

Yana. Fa. Aiman. Moi.

Final Assessment zero_FOUR.

For some reason i couldn't find the pix and here's the only one i got... from FB. Gonna do a proper photoshoot some time this millenia i hope. Well here's part of the design that Azi and i have been working on. There's a dress underneath and denim pants, with D.I.Y bleaching. The jacket was somewhat disastrous due to my charming ways of procrastinating my work. But Din saved the day and fixed it THAT morning! Fuuhhh mekaseyh kakak~

Tanx Kak Zura!

She's so hawt, the lecturers practically saw no flaw in our design. They loved it. Haha... Ok seriously need to shoot this, with all the different looks... which we planned to do even before the assessment day lagi. Heh. So who wants to model for us?! Hmm... .

Setelah Sekian Lama..... ... .

During the mid semester break in February, we had the Melaka trip and stayed at the Equatorial. It was a lotta fun. The theme for our dinner was Historical Futuristic (wtf?!) and i ended up wearing my tenggiling jacket. Huhu. The induction was fun as well, got to know the juniors all. My group's cheer was so cute, the lecturers asked us to do it again. Chiki Chiki Bom Bom Pow! Haha. ;p

Ain't we pretty? ;P

Coming back from the trip, well... my life took a turn for the better i suppose. 220210. A date to remember. Tanx to unnecessary meddling of nosy friends and extra courage on my part- i am as of today... a much, much happier person. LOL~

Earlier that month, we went to celebrate Mama's birthday eating at Chocolate Lounge, somewhere around The Street. Then we went to watch Avatar in 3D which was awesome! Shrek's trailer was in 3D too, making me oh-so-eager for it to come out. Alice in Wonderland was a tad boring, though obviously the sfx and costumes were a whole lotta awesomeness.

Epy Bday~

Went to take pix in i-City. We were the few who first explored the place ok. Now it's like so damn jam-packed over there. Every night also got deret-deret kereta going there... and we're like "Pffttt... go home la you people. i-City is so yesterday ledi kot." Hahaha~

Feeling kat Korea.

March. Din helped out some friends from OM in doing a bridal show for their event thingy and asked for our bridalwear from last semester to be presented that day. This was the first time i got to see my design on the runway. Huhu... Gile la kalo x teruja kan?! Trimasz la Kak Ayu sebab x lupekan adeq2 yea. Hahahaha.. .

Eliza in my design.

End of the month, went to STYLO fashion show... tanx to Nik Erwan for the invites. Again, i blended in with the media, sitting among the press and taking pix. Got to observe the garments real close. Some were hawt, some were not. Biase la tu. Hope one day mine will be up there and people will say it's super hawt. Huhu...~ Berangan.... .. .

Rizman Ruzaini.

It's April. Time to really work it and focus on all the assignments that have been half-heartedly touched. Ugh. So not in the mood to do anything today. I wanna go to Italy...! Madame Maimunah, my 1st sem French lecturer said she'd propose my name to the Italians coming to UiTM this week. But she never called me to confirm. It'd be kewl to study the language.... in ITALY oke...?! Six months should be one hella vacation la weyh just learning to speak Italian, with all the pasta i can eat over there! Berangan lagi... LOL~

This semester break, we'll be doing our practical. Bard, Azi and myself applied at TV3 but now we're having second thoughts. It's just too far. We hardly ever make it in time for class everyday. You do the math. So we'll most likely go to Jezmine and help her out at the store. Hopefully she'll bring me shopping with her la nanti. Hoho... Gotta go make me a passport pronto!

When we're free, please la people... let's go picnic!

January.. .

2010-02-14T11:53:00.006+08:00

I should get a well-deserved spankin' for being so lazy to update this blog yet again. Heh. Well in my defense, this time around i took a longer leave of absence (so to speak) since my pc failed to work- i couldn't turn it on. Not to mention the autofocus on my SLR went kookoo. To top it off, there's the pile of never-ending assignments that i constantly need to tend to. So i seriously hadn't the extra time to spare for daily ramblings of my life's tale.

But i've since had the pc fixed. Changed to a new lense on my SLR. Worked hard (or at least faster) on assignments, meaning far less procrastination. So far i did good for Illustration and Pattern. Not so much on Design though. Haihhh~ And now it's the mid semester break. It's Valentine's Day. And Chinese New Year. I'm done with editing pics and getting a tad lazy so before firing up my momentum to start working on assignments again, i should really update. So what happened in January?

Of course, it was the start of our new semester- PART FOUR ALREADY...?! Damn. We spent the first week just hanging out and catching up, going for movies and endless shopping. Then we started to get the assignments- no more children's wear for Part 4. We'll be making a clutch bag. For Design class, we're paired up and i'm with Azi. Bard with Zie, obviously. For Pattern, we're making a standard jacket instead of an individually designed one. Basically everything is made simpler since Part 4 of last semester could barely catch up.

First Day

Anyhow, i started to pick up on my reading habit again. First i bought Mitch Albom's The Five People You Meet In Heaven. Then without having even started on the book, i got myself A New Earth by Eckhart Tolle. It's quite a big deal and i wished i had joined Oprah's book club as they had been discussing on the book some time ago. That's how i got to know about it. Thanks, Aunty O. It's some kind of a motivational book, which i need. But i have yet to finish it since i lent the book to Kak Long. Heh.. .

Nochet finish oso.. .

Try it. It's quite interesting.. .

Arep wished me on the FOURTH. Haha. I dunno why the hell he got so excited... exactly at 12am on the 4th, i got the SMS from him and i'm like, "Dude, tanx... but it's tomorrow". Ahaha~ So we went out to OU then a couple of days later went to Sunway pulak. As always, we ate at Gasoline. Everything was so damn casual, i didn't see it coming. Out came the doughnuts from Krispy Kreme as the substitute birthday cake for Yna, Dayah, Dous and myself. Yeeaaayyyy~

With my bebehs lunch at OU.. .

Pic by Dayah

Tanx people! ;D

Ouh it's great to finally have Arep, Dayah and Tajul together again now. We're reunited at last. Huhu...~ Arep really clicked with his Mass Comm. buddies but Dayah is struggling a bit with her new friends in Graphic. Hope it ain't gonna affect your work la babe. Me, on the other hand... well i'm not sure how i'm doing. It's quite the bipolar coaster ride. Anyway... i did, however, got a HUGE crush on someone. LOL. But now there's nothing to it. Hampa. Dia sudah berpunya... Sedeyh! Haha.. .

On the 23rd, we helped out at Jezmine's boutique launch and had lotsa fun. The place is adorable! For Design, Azi and i picked models as our respondents. So it was great that we were there- we interviewed Reyta, DeeDee and Ainul Aishah. Well she ain't a model but in the entertainment industry, so bole je la kan. Heh. But anyhow we also need a REAL model... so a week later we interviewed Tengku Azura. Every single one of 'em liked our idea! We're doing a garment that can turn into different looks. Its pieces and panels could turn into something else... So far the idea's great, but we have yet to get a design approved by Pn Hasma. Heh.. .

Tanx, Mine... for letting us in on this great day...~

HELLO WORLD!

2010-01-04T00:34:00.004+08:00

I had been meaning to post this on New Year's Eve. But our internet connection was screwed. So i haven't been online for a few days now. Amazingly, i survived. Heh.. .

It's 2010.

I didn't go out to celebrate that night. Never did. But that doesn't mean i don't look forward to the new year, though. And this had me pondering. To embrace the future, is it not necessary to look back in our past for guidance and reminders... as to avoid repeating certain mistakes, perhaps?

It will also shed some light on issues that we faced or are about to face... helping us to understand why things are the way they are or why some people act the way they do. And there are some things in our past that we should just let go off. And have no regrets. I've said this before and i'll say it again;

Have no regrets, no matter what you've been through. No matter how shitty or fucked up. Because without all the catastrophe, how else would you learn anything? That's how you find yourself. And that's how you mature.. .

So now i'd like to recap my past, within this whole year that is. Maybe there's a lesson to learn which i haven't figured out yet. And surely there are things to laugh or cry about too. But wait, i think i'm gonna start on December of last year.

My last entry then was on the 28th where i talked about my first semester's result. Rewind a bit and hey, i actually did a recap thingy such as this... but a recap of my diploma days in UiTM Lendu. Huhu. And ouh, i didn't post about it until later but we had our convocation on the 2nd and the pix were great, tanx to Muaz. And on the 3rd something happened which will forever be memorable to me. Wink2~

We got our diploma, people...~

Moving on to January, i got a surprise birthday party which i SHOULD have seen it coming. But what can i say... the Atuts are great actors. Heh. They all wore green and got me cupcakes and presents. Yeayyy~ Then we became crews for the Batik Mim show. I finally got the chance to visit Arep and Dayah in Melaka. Bought glads, which i didn't wear until the trip to Penang. Went karok with Mama, reminiscing on the good old days when we used to karok at home every night. Haha.. .

Taking a break whilst preparing for the show.

Of course there's always time to gedik2.. .

In February, it's Mama and Aan's birthday. I got really sick with some mysterious fever. I felt so weak to the point of near death. I was practically in a coma. Couldn't even eat for a week. Then we got the Functional Wear assignment. Lotsa brainstorming at this point. We also joined the Rantai event.

This was for the Gaza charity thing, right?

March. Done with our Copy Art assignment, where we gotta turn ourselves into a famous painting. It was kinda kewl. Fa noticed i like saying "Takowt nye". Haha. Went for a trip to Melaka, Port Dickson, Senawang, Sri Menanti and Ulu Bendul. Stayed at En Wazir's kampung. We had bbq and karok. Zie became the MC. Bard sang and posed at the tiang. LOL~ Went swimming in Ulu Bendul before ending the trip. Super fun! Then there's Earth Hour. We also went to Penang. The dinner with... wait, what's the theme again? Everyone dressed up to the max. We performed the most embarassing thing ever. Well i guess it's safe to say i embarrassed myself. Haha. Single Ladies. Omg...~

Freaky...~

Sampai di Melaka, lepak makan cendol. Well at least they did.

Last day, before going swimming.. .

Trip to Penang pulak.. .

Our final asessment was in April. The jumpsuit and cocktail dress. Kinda ok la. Been having some arguments with that dork of mine. And the most exciting, i finally bought my very own DSLR... Canon 1000D. Wuhuuu~ But the celebration was short-lived since i had to say farewell to Kiddo.

In May, went to Ikea on Kak Long's birthday. Road trip to Machang to get Aan's stuff. Lotsa ridiculously funny things happened in Kelantan. Lunch at Secret Recipe on Mother's Day. Joined an animation seminar. Learned how to do stop motion animation, you know, like in Coraline and Nightmare Before Christmas. Did my first official photoshoot with the new camera. Pok Long passed away.. .

<3>

Shoot!

No post in June as i had been working. Became a wardrobe crew for an upcoming movie called Hikayat Merong Mahawangsa. Quite the experience, i must say. This must be when we got our results. Mine was great, definitely happy with it.. .

It's July. I've been keeping my hair long but got rimas with it so i'ts finally time to chop it off. Bard's birthday at Secret Recipe. We joined in some sports! Huhu. Sukan Antara Jabatan thingy. I signed up for bowling. We became juri awam for Mentor's final concert. Haha... don't ask. But i get to take pix from the front row seat, which was awesome weyh~ Then we went to the Shout Awards and had a blast. Got me some nice shots too. Bermulanya hikayat cinta Nazima Alias. Ahaha. Got the H1N1 scare. Joined in the Textile Convention. The passing of the late Yasmin Ahmad.

I was THAT close.

Crew.

August. Got diagnosed with a possible Bronchitis. Yikes~ We went to PDI warehouse sale, despite the swine flu. Went to LDK that i had missed out on last semester. Came up with the armadillo inspiration for Design class. The theme was Changing Form. Then there's the bridal wear. Sheesh~ I really don't wanna be reminded of this. I hate working with satin silk! We were entertained by U-Wei who gave a speech on film and stuff. Funny lorr that guy. One of the ridiculous things he said was;

"From someone born in Mentakab, Pahang... polland is a ver far country"

Ahahaha still got me laughing when i read that entry about him. What else eyh? Ouh we also celebrated Iera, Pak9, Icha and Zie's birthday during the break on our module day. Then the Atuts celebrate again, this time just for Zie. Where else if not at McD. Heh~

Muahhh~

Then there's Malam Kecemerlangan. Ok now i'm devastated. I won't be joining you guys for the upcoming dinner. I didn't make the Dean's List this sem. Sedeyhhh...! Ouh yeah we started to puasa and i was really down, kinda paranoid about the drama that was about to happen. It's just like a ticking time-bomb. I was depressed all the way. But we all hung out a lot, buke puasa almost everywhere... and that was kinda fun.

Hanya tinggal memori. Isk.. .

Second year buffet at Ikea.

Went to support some friends at the Marhaban@Astro design competition in September. Got a mohawk for the first time. Haha. Celebrated Fa and Sunex's birthday at Burger King. Really meriah. Been so long since i hung out with graphic peeps. Went raya shopping. Raya in Kedah and went to Padang Besar for some more shopping. Met Rafi over there! Heh... At a wedding, someone actually thought Mama was Anita Sarawak. Ahahaha.. .

:-D

Grreeeennnn...~

I have only ONE entry in October and it's just a video of me babbling on what's going on so far. We were busy with the finals and so i hadn't much time to update.

November. Our final asessment. My jacket with the armadillo-inspired sleeve and gold satin silk draped bridal dress. Then we gotta work work work to prepare the final year students' fashion show. I was elected the project manager. Pffttt...~ Azi glued his eye on the day of the event. Thank God he's ok. The show went well that night, with minor setbacks. Overall i'm happy with it.

Tenggilingku.

It's December and i've been pretty much hibernating throughout the semester break. I knew from the very beginning that i didn't want to work this time around. I just needed some time off... from everything. I did, however, managed to help aDe with her costume. Even had a bit of a reunion during Afifah's wedding. Our result scared us, as our Philosophy papercame out with the YY status. It has, however, been taken care of. Thank God! Went to the final show of PSE. Couldn't find Azi's car when we were about to go back that night. Super LOL. I've been getting back into doing photo manipulation. Dunno why i ever stopped. I love it~

Who's next?

And now it's January of a whole new year. We're in our fourth semester. Arep and Dayah are now in Shah Alam. Filzah too. Finally! But Arep's taking Mass Comm. so there isn't a certainty that we'd get to hang out together much. Yesterday, went to teman Dayah register and later went to watch The Imaniganrium of Dr Parnassus with her, Syifa and Arep. The movie was quite a bore. Naturally, Arep dozed of a few times. Ahaha~

So now, what exactly can i gather from last year's going-ons...? There were definitely some great moments and some not so good. But what's important is how i went through with it. Wasn't too proud of my sulking during puasa, though. I also gotta be braver to accept change. Letting go can bring an exciting outcome.

In times of facing with assignments that i'm not so psyched about, i just have to learn to suck it up and give it my all. Don't think, just do it! And i gotta stop thinking i could make something perfect 'coz it ain't gonna come out perfect anyways. So waste no time! Just do it! NIKE should totally sponsor me now. ;p

Other than that, i think there's a need for me to smile more, eat more, start some new habit and hobby, and leave old stupid ones behind. Evolve, Aad... Evolve! What am i? Pokemon?! But seriously. I need some new excitements. Maybe join capuiera or travel the world in a week, stuff like that. Who's coming with me? Huhu.. .

HAPPY NEW YEAR PEOPLE..........!

Daa...~

2009-12-29T13:49:00.005+08:00

Saying buh-bye to 2009.

Saying buh-bye to hogging on the pc all day.

Buh-bye to hibernating.

Say hello to the new year!

Ola new semester.

Wassup BFFs...~

It's been a long holiday

of not-much-productivity.

Ahaha.

But lately i've been obsessed

with editing pix.

Wanna shoot and do photo manip

with you guys lak...~

Quick, think of something!

I wanna turn us into

a movie poster.

Huhu.. .

Some of my work;

Retro feel~

Vaporized... .. .

Artificial jimbet.

Guess who? Ahaha~

The last pic is from our Sem 02 Penang Trip album

which i just realized i haven't edited yet.

Didn't even blog about it.

Pity this sem got no trip.

Penang was awesome!

So i'm still in the midst of editing

pix from that trip right now.

Sooo0 many of 'em!

Adoyyy... .

Yikes! (part two)

2009-12-22T17:29:00.010+08:00

Went to Afifah's wedding on the 12th. Met Diana and Aina at Mid Valley about an hour late (haha) and we were off in Aina's car. At this point i haven't quite recalled who Aina was... simply couldn't place her la. No idea if we were ever friends in school. But anyhow we talked and talked and apparently Liyana had already arrived in Putrajaya while we were still sesat. Liyana sape pulokkk? Adeyh... Probably i'll know when i SEE her.

Liyana. Diana. Aina.
Na Na Na...~

We finally got there- at Masjid Putrajaya and Liyana was there waiting for us outside. I took one look at her and knew immediately who she was. She had no recollection of me, though. Haha. I remember very few people from SS2 and she's one of 'em. We played Spirit of the Coin at Diana's place one time with Zie, Navind, Zarif and of course Diana oso la. Boys weren't allowed in the house so when we heard the car outside, thinking it was Diana's mom... us boys lintang pukang trying to find a place to hide. Haha~ I'm actually grinning as i'm typing this, remembering that day. Oh-so-funny weyh.. .

There's a curved sofa i think, that's positioned at the corner of the room... so there was some space behind it. Having not much time to think, and being the gelabah freak that i was at the time... i leaped for dear life to hide behind the sofa. Interestingly enough, Zarif was already there! Ahahaha~

The two dots represent Zarif and myself.. .

We were really sardined back there. And there was just silence. We heard nothing. The girls didn't signal for us to come out nor was there any sign of Diana opening the door for her mom or anything like that. So we remained in this weird yoga formation thingy behind the sofa... and i pondered where Navind could possibly be hiding. A while later (which seemed like a really long time actually- you know, being cramped and all) we got out and apparently it wasn't Diana's mom afterall. False alarm. Haha. And ouh. Navind? He actually climbed and hid above the sliding door! Ahahaha~

Well it ain't much of a hiding place, but if you're outside the room, then you'll definitely have no idea he's up there. Haha.. .

Anyways... back to the wedding. It already started when we got into the mosque. I took out my camera and decided to go directly snapping pix of Afifah, and i wanted to see if she recognized me. Diana hadn't told her that i was coming. Huhu~ So i went to her and took a couple of shots. Then as i put the camera down away from my face, i looked at her and smiled. She smiled back, to a stranger. I kept smiling. She started to look confused. Like... she must've thought "Bile mase lak aku hire photographer ni?" Haha. And then she started to realize who i was, her eyes went wide open and i could see her mouth moving... She said "Fahad...~" without the sound coming out, and gave me a wave. Ahaha... I waved back and said "Hye...~" without the sound coming out. Ahaha.. .

Not so confused anymore. Huhu.. .

After the akad, it was Oprah moment... the girls hugged and got all excited. It's been what... TEN years now since we all saw each other? And now one of us is married! And Afifah seemed to have remained the same. The way she talked and moved and smiled... was the same image that i've had of her all this while. So she hadn't really changed i guess. Except for the fact that she's a married woman now la kan? Heh.. .

Jejak kasih...~

We then went to this Putrajaya Seafood Restaurant (dunno if i got the name right) for their reception. The food was awesome! Super yummy~ There, i really kicked it off with Aina. It's like we've always kept in touch or something. Padahal complete strangers ni. Haha. But then she mentioned that she was really big back in those days. The biggest and tallest. And then it hit me. I do remember her! She's in my list too... the list of very few people that i remembered. Only, she's more kecik now and i'm taller than her. So i didn't recognize her. Ahaha~

After the meal, we took lotsa pix (of course) and when it was time to go... Afifah's hubby told us to stay 'coz they were gonna do some shooting at the lake for their storybook... and wanted us to be in it! How kewl was that?! Aina wanted to hurry since she's gonna watch the Natrah theatre that night but gave in and said she'll stay a while for the shoot. Yeayyy~ So first it was a scene where Afifah was being proposed and we're in the background, looking excited and stuff. Then the couple played a happy bride and groom while we're looking pissed and jealous. Ahaha~ Then of course, there's some lompat pix as well. Wajib! Huhu. Hope the pix turn out great la.

Happy couple.

Best wishes to the newly weds and urm... sorry for crashing the wedding when we weren't even invited. Ahaha. But it's a kewl surprise kan? Huhu. Really had fun with the girls. We should really hang out some time. Since Liyana also lives in Klang, she gave me a ride home. Thank god... if not, i'd have to endure the wholesome fun of riding the KTM during rush hour. Y'all know how that is. So tanx Liyana for being my saviour! See, it wasn't awkward just the two of us in the car, catching up... right? Ahaha~

Hawt Mommas.

So with all the stuff that was happening, i had forgotten about our result! Yeah, let's get back to that shall we? It was Sunday when i had suddenly remembered to check the web to see if our result had been fixed. Apparently it hadn't. We've gotten the Philo result. Mine is A- but as suspected it still didn't boost my gpa high enough. So this semester... (and i announce this with an aching heart) i didn't make the Dean's List.

This is just my calculations. But it hasn't been officially stated on the web so i suppose it hadn't been dealt with. Azi went to the office the next day and they said it will be fixed, but needed some time. Well, as long is it IS fixed.. i don't care how long it takes. Just make sure our Philo is included in this semester's result. If it had to be brought to next semester... then we'd be crushed! We're ALL doomed...~

It's really a wake-up call for me, not getting DL this sem. So i gotta;

work harder... as in real hard!
play less. and that includes BERANGAN
no more YM-ing (well maybe a little)
no sleepimg for more than 6 hours
stop procrastinating!
fall in love with illustration class

What's this? My new year's resolution? Ahahaha... Like that ever work! But hey~ No, no... i HAVE to do this. I really gotta work it this time. 3.44 weyh...! Soooo close to DL. I'm furiously frustrated with myself. Haihhh....~ So aad, cayokk2....! And we gotta keep supporting each other... Zie, Bard, Azi and myself. We're the future in fashion! Wuhuuu....~

Yikes! (part one)

2009-12-22T17:22:00.008+08:00

Azi and i went to the office at our faculty about the Philo result... En Padzir was in a meeting so we talked to one of the staff... and as i was telling her that we had the YY status thingy, another staff poked her head behind the cubicle at her desk and said;

"Ni yang kelas Pn Fadilah tu ke?"

Ouh. So they already know about this. But wait. Who amongst us have called the office? Or was it Pn Fadilah herself? Or are there other kids facing the same prob? Anyways... the staff told us that we should just wait for Pn Fadilah to settle the matter. Haihhh...~ The next day i tried calling the office to talk to En Padzir just to be sure. But the ringing was left unanswered. So Azi said he would remind Pn Fadilah to repair the damage and we should just wait and wait.

In the meantime, i got myself busy last week helping aDe with her costume. She's joining a cosplay but making a period costume as opposed to a comic or game character. She already did the whole Victorian dress so i just helped with the bolero... which turned into a hybrid of bolero-slash-tail-coat. We'll shoot it next week. I got excited over the project as i had been meaning to make a tail-coat and so i thought... what better way to get me started right? I'm helping a friend and i get to experiment. And i like how it turned out, simple as it may be. Huhu.. .

Obviously you can hardly see anything here, but it looks pretty elaborate. Can't wait to shoot it...~

I also went to the PSE finale. Rico Rinaldi won. Azi's crazy about the guy's pants. Huhu. Wilson worked the runway in the end with some hip hop-y moves that were...... interesting, to say the least. I swear we (Akmal, Su and Min) almost died from laughter. Ridiculously hilarious i tell ya! Ahaha... and ouh later we (Azi and friends) watched a movie- The Princess and The Frog. As we (just Azi and myself) were about to leave, a sudden realization kicked in... Where's the car? When we arrived that afternoon, i stepped out of the Viva and vividly remember looking at our parking space. 9A. And i was sure it was green. Each level had different colors. Ours was green. I was pretty darn sure of it.

We roamed the green level. No sign of the car. Hey let's try level bawah. *casually walking but getting anxious* It was red. No way. Na'ah. RED? So we looked around a little and soon enough went to the level below it. *walking faster and definitely nervous to the max* It was blue. Ok maybe i had mistaken the color. It could actually be blue, not green. Afterall, it was dark in there when we arrived. My eyes could've played tricks on me. Right? It's gotta be BLUE. But still... no familiar Viva in sight. We tried the next... *walking in separate directions and getting really worried now* It was yellow. So... could i have mistaken green from yellow then? Ugh...~

Dimanakah?

We looked and looked. Went back up to green. Down again. Revisited red and blue and even yellow. Went around the whole bloody level, especially the green 'coz i was so sure of it. By then i thought to myself "Ok, the car's stolen. That's it. Azi forgot to lock his car and it got stolen. And we're stuck here now. Awesome". We asked one of the security officer who was on his bike to roam around and look for the car. When we told him it's KCH 7*** he went "Ouh saya ada nampak ini, kereta ni. Ada, ada..." And i'm like... Ok dude, there's like hundreds of cars in here and u remember seeing KCH...?! Then he said "Kereta warna apa ini? Hitam kan...?"

Teeeeeeetttttttt......................... ....... .

So he went on the quest to find the car and came back a while later with no luck. "Dah try sume level ke?" I asked. And he said "Bawah sekali saya tak pegi, ada hantu". Bole laaakkkk. "Abes tu, mintak la sekuriti level tu tolong cari". Then he looks at his watch and said "Udah mau balik ni". Whaaaaaattt.....?! You're going back, leaving us here helpless, and worst of all... you're leaving us with a tiny bit of info that the parking lot is.... haunted?! GREAT. Justtttt great!

Boo!

So i asked where the office was and he brought us there. A guy at the office asked about descriptions of the car and i even told him where i thought we had parked... 9A. So he went on his bike and we waited at the office. He came back later with great news. The car isn't stolen afterall...! It's exactly at 9A but at the YELLOW level. The haunted level. Atuuutttt~ We were so exhausted from all the worrying and walking but still managed to laugh at how silly the whole thing was. So note to self; Snap a pic of your parking spot! Sheeesh~ Took us almost an hour to finally get into the car oke? Like demn... i could already be at home, sleeping by now. But yeah, pengalaman idop... Huhu.. .

Just snap a pic demmit...~

Result~

2009-12-11T19:30:00.008+08:00

Result was out on the web since yesterday. Last night, as i was driving home, Bard SMSed me asking why the hell was the status of his Philosophy paper came out "YY", which means he was absent and hadn't sat for it. Holy shitness. Don't tell me i have the same problem?! Apparently Azi's result came out the same. So obviously the four of us senasib la, but i hadn't checked mine and they hadn't heard from Zie. But i expected the worst la. Sampai je umah, i tried logging in but couldn't make it into the site. It was jammed la kot, with EVERYONE trying to check their results kan.. .

I tried and tried with no luck... and some time after midnight, i finally gave up and went to bed. Azi's call the next morning woke me up. He had told Pn Fadilah of our 'situation' and she asked for our ID so she can fix the prob. So i gave Azi my ID and quickly turned the pc on to check my result. Not good. Nooooottt good. My Philo status was indeed YY too. But even without Philo, my cgpa is 3.5. So hopefully when it's fixed, my cgpa will improve but i'm pretty doubtful the gpa would get me DL this sem. It kinda really suck. Demmit! Now it depends on how well (or how bad) i did for the paper.. .

So the ultimate question is... How the f.c.u.k did this happen? My theory would be that it's because the four of us are registered under Seramic group for the Philo class. Earlier this sem we didn't register in time for the class and so it was already full. So we registered under Seramic la. Our paper must've been in the Seramic pile and Pn Fadilah couldn't find which department we actually belong to. MUNGKIN la.

So now we're praying for the best.. .

Ape Ntah.. .

2009-12-08T10:34:00.009+08:00

It's the semester break.

I'm hibernating.

I sleep. I eat. I edit pix all day.

I don't shave.

I'm not doing anything.

But this week it's all gonna change!

I'm helping aDe with her bolero.

I have a few shoots planned.

Probably gonna go to PSE finale.

And of course

our results will be out!

So this week is indeed exciting.

~ ~ ~

Ouh yeah.

I'm also going to a friend's wedding this week.

Zie, you must've heard oso la kan?

Afifah is getting married!

It's weird.

Having a friend from primary school

that you haven't met since you

were like... eleven.

And now suddenly she's

GETTING MARRIED!

You know what this means?

It means i'm OLD, people!

Old enough to get married.

Sheeessshhh~

Not exactly layak, though.

Kan?

~ ~ ~

I think i need therapy.

Some form of remedy to rejuvenate my soul.

Maybe i should go live in Italy

and eat pasta every day.

That sure would be fun

and give myself time to think.

Time to figure out some stuff.

I need me some soul-searching.

And i need lotsa pasta.

~ ~ ~

I wake up everyday

with different tunes in my head.

I'd open my eyes in the morning

and start singing

Wohh~ wohh~ wohh~
Gadis ayu...~ lesung pipit di pipi~
Ayu...~ senyummu menawan~

Weird huh?

This morning it was

LFO's cute 'lil number;

At the risk of sounding cheesy~
I think i fell for the girl on TV...~

Haha it IS cheesy.

But who doesn't love this song?

~ ~ ~

P/S: I'm weird.

Final 03

2009-11-10T00:30:00.009+08:00

Finally... we're done with assessment last Friday, probably the most chaotic since every batch seemed to have SOME kind of problem. The other day, half of zero_four didn't make it. I didn't quite get everything done myself, but survived the presentation with a big sigh of relief. They liked my jacket with the armadillo-inspired sleeve. The lecturers noticed i'm always around at the bengkel, so they called me SLOW 'coz i didn't finish my last illustration. "Selalu ade kat bengkel tapi keje tak siap". Gitu la katenye.

And CK kept asking about the pants... which she never mentioned throughout the semester, not until pre-assessment which was obviously too late for me to get started. I was obsessed with the top and was already losing focus on the bridal, so there was no way a pair of armadillo pants was possible. I didn't even have time to get the stud button made for the jacket, so i had to sew the sleeve on. Pn Hasmah looked impressed when the sleeve was pulled down, which is exactly what i had hoped for.

They nodded when i explained how i had initially wanted to make the sleeve bigger and thicker like i did for the toile but later settled for smaller and more flexible material so that it became more wearable and relevant and not so costumey. Overall, they liked it. "Interesting and nice design". And CK said i have a good attitude. Yayyy...~

Halfway through babbling about the jacket, i realized my bridal was out of sight. Apparently there's no need to present on the draping so the model would just go to Pn Saemah for marks to be given while i'm with the other model on the far side of the room. I didn't even realize Reyta was ever there before and she had already changed by the time i was done with my presentation. Ouh Reyta was our model that day. She modelled my bridal wear while Khai wore the jacket. Tanx for the help guys!

I asked Reyta to put the dress back on just to take a few shots. The dress was a mess, i wasn't done with the finishing actually. So now En Faizal kept telling me to get right back to it so that it'll be ready for a photoshoot. A real shoot that he's been wanting to do for us. And our designs would most probably be worn by the oh-so-awesome Tengku Azura...! Gile weyh~

Most people like the design of my bridal but i think the construction is poor. It's not exactly well-made. Maybe gowns and dresses ain't really my thing. I was excited to be learning draping this semester but then when it comes to actually making a draped dress.... Ayo0~ it's such a grueling task. I don't have the patience to do all the tacking. Heh.. .

I'm happy with the assessment, i guess. But i'm still worried... i hope my pointers won't go down. I can't help but be a bit restless thinking about it. Plus, we still have Philosophy paper coming up. And right now we're preparing for this semester's fashion show. It's gonna be a huge event. Live coverage, with Agong and the Permaisuri present... at Le Meridian. Tickets are sold at RM150. Invite all the Datins, they'd want fresh new designers with fresh new ideas to vamp up their look for social events, i'm sure. For students, tickets are sold at RM60 only. I'll update the details later.. .

Adios for now~

Finals Coming! (03)

2009-10-26T21:16:00.003+08:00

Update terbaru.
Malas nak taip.
Maka wat video je.

P/S: Nak cutiiii......~ Nak lepak ngan Tajul and Arep...!

RAYA '09

2009-09-29T20:30:00.003+08:00

Last two Fridays, we gerak to Kedah at 11pm like that. Went with two cars. In the Kenari got Aan, myself and Kaklong as the driver. Baba drove Mama along with Abang and his family. Kul bape ek sampai umah Maktok? Don't remember ledi, but we sure as hell slept 'til almost noon kot ye. Haha.. No la. After mandi all, i watched the ladies preparing the ketupat pulut and snapped some pics.

I was curious and wanted to try one (suara Pn Fadilah turut terngiang-ngiang) kononnye nak rase pengalaman kekampungan kemelayuan la... but they were almost done and i scared if tak jadi. LOL...~Then suddenly i heard Nafzan and Nassar making a big fuss outside and decided to join in whatever fun they were having. Turns out they found a bunch of mini flags and a big one too. Duk kibar sane sini, gle patriotik weyh. Since i had my camera ledi, ape lagi... SNAP!

...and he screamed "ONEEE MALAYYSIIIAAA....!!!"

The next day... Raya! It's green this year so me loikes it la. We smayang raya, jalan kaki to the mosque. So near only. Then later everyone's all dressed up so it's time to salam-salam. Didn't think it'd be this emotional. Didn't think i'd cry either (Wait. Who am i kidding?). LOL...~

Oprah moment~

Just us. The others went back Perlis.

It's like... my songkok straight, but my head yang senget.. .

The 'you-can't-go-wrong-with-this-hijau' baju kurung.

Then it was too hot so we changed into something else... we were supposed to wear the green for a wedding anyway. So x ley pakai lelame. Huhu.. .

We went beraya to a few houses and got very kenyang. Tried a peanut butter kuih raya... damn nice la weyh rase nak curik satu balang. Heh~ The next day, went to Sungai Petani pule.

Ain't really a planned theme kan? The red? I wore brown kot... pfftt...~

Rare sighting of yours truly. Heh.. .

Seriously... cam gambar wedding.. to me, at least.. .

Bole lak Mama interframe kan.. .

Bonda.

Mungkin sebab iklan raya KFC cambest, we decided to eat there that night. Huhu. Did a lot of gossiping, well THEY did. I listened only. Haha. Urm after dinner, we got outta there and suddenly Nafzan said, "Berbaloooiii...~" sekali ngan intonasi nye yea. He simply said it 'coz teringat iklan Celcom tu kot but the timing was perfect! So jadi cam klaka gle lak. Haha.. Makan ayam berbaloi ek, Nafzan?

Third day raya, went to Perlis for a wedding.

Whenever i switched on the camera, everyone siap pose ledi. When camera's off, they tell me to snap oso. Wanna take a pic of ONE KID, the whole family joined in. How? No wonder raya pics up to 3gb. Hahaha.. .

We took turns to salam Tok Mi and first she asked Mama, "Bile nak dapat anak?" Ahaha. Then i salam her and she's like, "Haa berjanggut dah"... Aan salam, "Ni berjanggut gak". Kaklong salam, "Ni mane janggut?" Ahahaha~

Ouh there was this guy, looking for Mama and wanted to take pictures, asking Baba "Mane tu Anita Sarawak tu?" I thought he was joking around la kan, since there IS a slight resemblance between the two. Ahahaha... Sorry, Ma. But this guy haa, he somewhat serious dowh. Baba took him to Mama and he took pic with her and asked, "Btol kan u ni Anita Sarawak?"

Hahahhahahahahahahah... .
*guling-guling*

Esoknya went beraya lagi for the last time la and near the house got sawah. YESSS! Been looking for one 'coz jealous of Filzah's pix last year. LOL~ So i shot Aan and later, Kaklong juga mao.

Ok it ain't exactly raya-like-pic but i got the sawah in the background so i'm happy. Ahaha.. .

On the way back, we stopped at this one RnR... and the kids played around at the mini playground. Really loike this pic. Huhu.. .

Then we gerak again... Kaklong driving in style la kan as usual. Dapat gak lighting gini. We've been waiting for that sun actually. Haha.. .

So overall raya was ok la. And now cuti is OVER people. Please get snap into reality. We have a life to get back to... OH EM JI. All the assignments... projects... toile... Finals near ledi weyh! Mamposss~

Bertenang Aad, makan kuih raya dulu.. .

;D

Demmit

2009-08-31T03:08:00.001+08:00

More than a week has passed since we started to puasa. It rains everyday now, hujan rahmat katenye. And life is pretty... great . But in the midst of this beautiful Ramadhan, i find myself to be a bit down. I mean no disrespect towards the holy month but its arrival has somewhat stirred a certain uneasiness in me, and having me dread Hari Raya even... because being in the fasting month means only one thing to me- DRAMA.

No, i don't feel the excitement nor do i care to go for that raya shopping. I hadn't picked a color for my new baju melayu. I don't even want a new baju melayu. I'm not psyched to balik kampung. Heck, i don't really have a kampung anymore. All i'm focused on right now is the berbuka time with my friends and it's the only instant that i could be somewhat happy. I didn't even realize i was unhappy, not until mama brought it up. Now that's ironic, 'coz she doesn't wanna see me sulk, and yet i'm feeling more pathetic now after talking to her the other night. It's not her fault though, just bad timing... 'coz she preached right before the drama began. And yeah, it's officially started.

I saw it coming and yet i ain't fully prepared. I hate this. No wonder everything's been so great for me the last couple of months... I had been blessed with lotsa good things that came my way. I knew there was a catch. I had been on top. And now the wheel has turned and i'm at the bottom. Now, i gotta face all the shit that's coming and wait 'til the wheel turns again where i'll be once more on top. That's just how life works, isn't it? There's a familiar cloud hovering over me and it's gonna rain... hard. All i wanna do is be alone. W0w. This feeling really is all too familiar.. .

To whom it may concern, here's what i have to say- We never see eye to eye. We never even had ONE decent conversation. Ever. You don't trust a word that comes out of my mouth. We hardly ever act in a civilized manner in each other's presence. My very existence is appalling to you and your aura alone is enough to make me cringe. So why is it that you think i'd agree to a day out with you... to buy raya clothes in which i'm not even interested in?

Clearly this is just another act. Another means of creating drama to pull me deeper into the pit of depression. Next act would be, of course, to make me choose where i'd celebrate raya. Honestly, i'd rather stay home alone and watch movies all week. But that's not gonna happen, i suppose. Whatever it is, i hope i've got the strength to ignore you and not let your evil plans ruin my life. So shooo~! get the hell away from me. You ain't gonna bring me down. Not today.. .

2009-08-22T13:10:00.018+08:00

Ayo0. Lame je x sentuh blog. Bole ke sentuh? Heh. Ugh...~ why is it back in diploma days, i could stay up all night and not be intrigued by the thought of sleeping snugly under the sheets (and dreaming the sweetest dreams) when now, all i wanna do IS sleep. So there's less time to update this blog, less time to finish up on assignments and less time to urm... socialize. HAH. Socialite sangat aku.

Anyways, i think i need to refresh my memories on what's happened so far in my life this past few weeks 'coz everything seems to go on all at once and i'm sucked into this whirlwind of catastrophe. Plus, i've got bad memory capacity, hence the ultimate reason for the existence of this blog. Otherwise i couldn't be bothered.

Remember Project Runway the season where Christian Siriano Mak Hayam Kemetot tu yang menang? Well i like this one contestant- Rami Kashou. That's the first i ever heard of the draping technique which Rami is really good at. And since then i had wanted to get my hands busy on a dummy, just to try and come up with a kewl dress 'coz he executed some really nice ones and aku geram gile kot tengok! Dah la i was still in Graphic at the time. Makan ati. Pfftt~

But now i'm in Fashion, and this semester we're learning the damn technique, people! I'm so psyched! Haha... We'll be doing bridal (Woohoo0~) and my base is still a work in progress. What's a base? Well before we drape the dummy to create the drapey effect, we gotta have the base- a layer of fabric following the shape of our design. Gotta have that first, then only the drape on top of it. Get it? Tak paham suda. Sape soh ko masok Sains Pertanian?!

But before we even started on the base, we were told to experiment on the draping itself and we're free to come up with anything as an exercise. Specifically, we're learning the cowl and twist technique. Here's the cowl;

This is my first cobaan on draping.

After we're done playing around with it, kene proceed the bridal wear pulak. I've mentioned in the last post how i thought my design was rather simple. Yeah it kinda worries me but then, if i could execute it well, it might look real good. I've always been into the Less Is More mazhab anyways.. .

This is the base.
Orang kate ia sangat kemas.
Mekaseyh.

When that's done, i gotta take the calico off and trace everything and add the kain part. As for now, i still ain't done with the top part where the lace would be. Yep. We're using lace. Probably French Lace. Semeter dah 2 rat lebey. Mampos... Memang aku kentut kuar duit.

I couldn't believe it... when i was doing the base one day, CK walked by so i greeted her and she looked at me, nodded, looked at my dummy... and said;

"Cantik awak buat draping"

Suddenly i heard church choir in the background. Haha... It was a miracle moment! Kene ar ade sound effect sket kan. Otak aku dah cam Ally McBeal ni ha. Mau x nye. CK puji aku weyh...!

But then i heard the disc rosak sound, 'coz she said;

"Tapi waist ni ketat sangat ni"

Atuttt... .

As for my tenggiling... tak jadi with the hoodie. We're going for the shoulder/sleeve detailing pulak. Here's the two that CK picked and she wants something in between, like a hybrid of these two.

She doesn't like the stand collar, and the jacket front details, or the skinny pants and i gotta make it less costumey and more practical for everyday wear. Laaa kate nak silhoutte yang non typical. Habeesss tuuuu....?

~ ~ ~

Last Friday, we wanted to finish up on the base, but En Anas ordered us to join some kinda event at DSB involving people from Polland. Like wtf time gini nak soh ktorunk huha ngan dak2 oversea ke? Nak contribute to the spread of virus paling glamor mase kini la...? Tak moh suruh ktorunk terjun bangunan skali ke?

But it turns out, they were polland embassy people. No students pon. Ciss x dapat usha! Heh. And get this- we're there just to fill up the dewan and there's no significance of us dak2 fashion untuk ade kat situ ye dimana mereka bebel psal god-knows-what involving (not to be disrespectful) their history and film making.

And they made us watch a film... concerning... their history. Aduuuyaaaiii....~ Draping aku x siap 'coz of THIS...? Why is it that our batch always the one that has to be the guinea pig for everyhting ha, Zie? Ce jawab. We even went back home to change into baju batik for this event oke when other people are wearing baju biase only. Jimbet.. .

Thank god for the entertainment we got in the form of U-Wei, the movie director. He's supposed to give a talk since he did some research in Polland to do a film about something that has to do with someone that came from somewhere in Polland. I think. Heh.

The guy was so funny la weyh. One look at him and you'd think he's a fine artist, with the shaggy hair, laid-back attitude and the shades... that he wore... in the dewan. Yes. Klako weyh. Then he got on stage, and started his speech rather shaky (who am i to judge when i vibrate even worst right?) but he just couldn't stop fidgeting. His arms would wander off like an octopus' tentacles. He'd wrap his arms, or touch his chin or collar or rub his palms together. He kinda looked high. Sori uncle! But you were funny, seriously.

I even jotted down some of the stuff he said. Haha. Ok let's see... Right. He was talking about how he had always wanted to go to Polland so he said;

"From someone born in Mentakab, Pahang... Polland is a very far country."

WWHHHHHAAAAATTTTTTTTT.........................??!

Aku gelak gile time ni. Motif statement tu? It's like... like a pantun that didn't rhyme. Tolong la weyh. Klako gile kot.. Whichever part in Malaysia that you're born in, i'm sure Polland is far la, uncle.

Then he went on with a bit of his history and continued;

".....so i had always wanted to go there, but Polland is still a far country."

STILL....!

STILL a far country.....?!!! Ahahahahah... .

Habesss tuuuuu tetibe Polland bole jadi dekat ngan Malaysia ke?! Imagine... (and this is for Fa and that WHAT IF game) Imagine... what if the map of the world changes each year. Tetibe tahun ni Polland berjiran ngan Malaysia. Best ar uncle U-Wei bole gi sane lagi, naek sampan je. Ahahaha... .

Then he continued some more;

"Over there, all the major cities have their museums and that's really good because museums are very important to me....... and zoo jugak la."

Ahahahahhahaha... *gelak guling-guling*

Then he talked about a director who's already 80 years old but still active in making films and he said;

"I'd like to be like that when i'm 80, still active in the industry. Maybe i'll walk slower, but still active."

*guling-guling lagi*

Ahahhahahahahahahha....~

Tolong ar weyh urat kentut aku putus dah duk gelak kat dia ni.. .

Mampos aku if he reads this. Ahahaha.. .

~ ~ ~

On Saturday pulak, we went for our last module (yeayyy~) and it was ok i guess 'coz we got En Padzir aka En Fadil aka APAM. Haha.. .

The adorable (and shiny) En Padzir.

LOL.
Aku kejam.

He's really a kewl guy who genuinely concerns about the students and he would help us out every semester for the registration and stuff 'coz there's always a lot of mix-up when we're dropping and adding subjects all. Mekaseyh En Padzir! You da best~ You my idol...~

And the module was even more fun with my sayangs around.
Player siot aku ade 3 awek.
Woohoo0~

Time ni pon klaka gak, there was a video much like the famous Geli Mat, but i don't remember the title. But it's a Bollywood movie with crazy subtitles and you know how funny this vids are la kan.. .

Some of the (made-up) lyrics were;

Santan Tan Terselit Tersalah Selit

Lepas Digoda Dia Kena Petir

Gataiii Ye Bang

Ahahaha~ Adeyh who the hell came up with that la? Budak2 skang memang xde keje is it? But hey, everyone's entertained. So that's good.

During the break, we celebrated some of our friends' birthday- Iera, Pak9, Icha and Zie. Ramai nau birthday member bulan ni.. including.... ehem2.. tp x wish pon dia! Ahahaha~ Demn. Anyways ni la happy faces ari tu. Hope you guys have a great future up ahead! Sedar tak... kite tua dah weyh...............!!!

Then the module sambung after lunch and we had LDK where we played games and stuff. It was fun, the naming of food and explaining the different cultures and stuff around Malaysia. Sounds nerdy, but it's fun. So gi la mampos. My group chose to present about Terengganu and i even called mama for assistance. Talian hayat katenye. Haha. Then i had to sing a bit... the NA NA NA NA NA NA TEGHANU KITEEE song. Heh. Then other groups went and it was interesting to learn stuff about my own people that i didn't even know. Along siap cakap loghat nogori gile babs nye la. Then Azi presented about Kelantan for his group and tunjuk demo Mak Yong.

Semangat sokmo hokni sorang.

There was another game where we were told to think of a brand and product, and think of a new name for it and how we're making the product better or something like that. My group thought of doing Yun Nam haircare and the new name would be APAM haircare. Ahahaha jahat gile kot! But it's time to balik ledi and we never presented the idea. Fuhhh! Kalo x mamposs next sem En Padzir drop sume subjek aku, sumbat subjek akaun. X moh...!

Ouh btw, anyone wanna know what happiness looks like? This would be it.. .

~ ~ ~

We then went to SACC to get a gift for Zie while she went to wherever with Dous. Then while Azi was paying for the lingerie frame he bought in Lovely Lace, the birthday girl tetibe muncul. Hello. Seumur idop aku knal ko, Zie... dop penoh ag tengok mu masok Lovely Lace. Aritu jugok la time orang nok serprais dia tu yang dia mari. Adeyh.. .

Later we got the yummy cake and waited at McD.

Keterujaan Mak Hayam

The cake sez Happy Birthday Zie Menon. Ahahaha~

This is so like a family portrait. Wait. We ARE family! Love you guys to bits~ Muaahhh2!

Cobaan muke hudoh katenye.

Hahaha so i guess that's it. This is probably the longest post ever from me. Ye ke...? Kot. Demn. Looking at all this made me stop and think... and i've sorta kinda been counting my blessings la. Dunno why.

But i'm thankful for everything. My life, my health, my sanity, my creativity, my family, my friends... and i'm thankful for being me, for the things i've been through that shaped me into who i am... even if i'm not a perfect person, a perfect son or a perfect servent of God. I wouldn't have it any other way. Not for now anyway. We serve a purpose on earth in different ways with different reasons of being. I can only hope i played my role well enough and i thank those who played a part in my life and how they have influnced me or helped me or ruined me. Thank you all. Sorry for everything... and Happy Ramadhan.

P/S: Tetibe ending emo lak kan. Heh. I dunno what came over me.. .

Another Week

Illust aku banyak lagi x siap ni. Damn. We're heading for the 2nd project ledi, and my 1st artwork ain't even half done. I hate it. Flat Plaka colors on cutout abstract-looking figure. Haih. My CAD tracing is done, but Pn Ijan ain't in favor of my stroke. A bit too 'putus-putus' for her taste, apparently. I was going for quality of line la konon nye. Guess it didn't work out.

Tidak cukop UMPPHH~

As for French, we had the reading test today. All the pronounciation shit. Went well i suppose... Madame said i did good. I ain't as enthusiastic about French this sem la, dunno why. A bit blur and malas mao revise kat uma. Maka ni la jadinye. Sangkut2 nak sebut vingt euros soixante-dix segala. Heh!

Bridal wear, proceed ledi. But i asked if the design was ok 'coz cam simple sangat je (habis tu ko ingat ko terer wat netukk2 ke Aad oi...?) and En Faizal said it ain't about how simple or elaborate it is, it's how neat we make it. Lorr gitu pulok.. .

The armadillo suit, well i dunno how the hell it'll turn out in the end. I still ain't sure the direction it's heading right now either. But CK said the final design will only show a 'lil teeny tiny bit of the armadillo's feature. So far, i'm aiming for the hoodie and shoulders as to show the movement of the armadillo-like band construction. This assignment is afterall about 'changing form'.. .

Just an early idea.

Tomorrow we'll start draping on the bridal. The day after tomorrow, need to show more ideas on my armadillo and HOW to construct the prominent feature onto the garment and its movement all. Ayo0...~ But now on fb, zie jadi pencetus perbincangan that UiTM might close for another week. Like seriously? Can't decide whether that would be good or bad for us though. Heh.. .
