It's Mahjong fever !

Second week of holidays, am bored for the first time, after been through so many holidays.

I do appreciate holidays, but this time is a little bit bored and empty before getting a job. Well, I spent most of the time playing this addicting online Mahjong game, first from viwawa.com and now from a Taiwan based websites. Guess what, it's me and Tiffany spreading this Mahjong fever around, even my brother is playing with mummy besides.

The thing I miss about KL, not only friends, but MAHJONG ! (and Sushi Zanmai)

Remembering the nights with mahjong, although we're so busy with projects, but we still can find an excuse for playing mahjong, see how important mahjong is in our college life :P

Talking about part-time, I've sent the mails to the company but they haven't reply yet, so the only thing I can do is wait for their mails and get prepared to enter this pre-working era.

Been thinking how it's gonna be when we're entering the working stage, NOT EASY wei ! You have to work 30 days before you can get your salary, and in this 30 days you might spend your money unwisely that you gonna be broke before you got your next pay, and there's so many difficulties in finding solutions or ideas, and even with the managements, your boss and the workers, remember, they are you competitors, they have NO MERCY ! You gotta find your own ways of surviving through all this until you got the chance to have your own company. And owning a company is more tough and hard than what you think, not just giving orders and sit on the cozy fluffy chair signing documents, it's all about business and human resource management which is another long story to go.

So good luck to all of you who is searching for part-time job, all the best in looking for a suitable company without facing any problem with your boss and workers a.k.a competitors :)

Is this the way you communicate with people ?

It bothered me since the day you posted it, at that very moment.

I know people deserves to know the truth, not to say truth, but people have the right to know things, in a proper way. But this is not a proper way for me, Facebook is public, I rather you tell me personally over than in Facebook. You leave me no choice but to take and accept everything individually, you don't know things that happened behind. You made people think that I don't care so much in this issue. If I doing it in your way means I'm jeopardizing our friendship, which I don't wish to.

I care, alright ? I do care so much that I can't even concentrate on my final project and the holiday mood is spoilt.

It's not that I have confidence that I'm the right person, but same goes to you. Do you ever think of the consequences ? What if things didn't follow the way you think ? And how she going to face all these ? Since the first post, everything seems to be impossible. Letting someone go needs time, and I'm trying so hard but I couldn't make it. Like I said, it needs time and the result still remains unknown.

I'm sorry I can't talk to anyone in this moment, I'm so confused.

I don't know what I want,

I don't know what I should do,

I don't know how am I going to face you.

Finally we're done, DONE with models and drawings, left presentation part on tomorrow and the day after.

Well, thank god I, WE are still survive. Imagine, we started our work after dinner straight until 4 a.m where we went for McD breakfast (that's the moment we enjoy when we're awake!) then go back sleep until 2pm sometimes 4pm and we skipped our lunch. Cool ? Not cool, we can feel our organs corroding.

But one thing I have to say, doing projects with bunch of friends is definitely the moment I enjoyed the most. They cheer you up when you're stressed out, and they made lame and cold jokes with just anything around in any moment.

This project had made our life off-track, especially our sleeping time. Luckily a 5 months breaks is awaiting us, allowing us to have a really good rest and gain working experience which is really useful for the future and degree year 2. Guess I gonna spend most of my time gaining back my energy by having good sleeps in my own house and learn Autocad before looking for a job in interior design firm.

7 more days to 10th of May, the time I flying back to Miri. This time I'm flying with MAS, the last time I flying with MAS was 1 year ago. I kinda regret booking my ticket so early that I have nothing to do in this 1 week before I fly back. We do planned an outing to Puchong Water Village and trips to Ipoh or Langkawi or Pangkor, but they just didn't give us any reply and seems to forgetting it. Except for the Water Village case where they have no vacancy on the date we desire.

Well, look at the last post, it was 11 of February. This blog is like being comma for almost 3 months.

Ok,

Next week gonna be the last third week of Year 1, but am having not much feeling towards it, maybe it came too fast, gone fast as well, they're only 7 months in total. But the most excited part gonna be the 5 months holidays ! Damn man, you know how much important is the holiday for us ? Is like whenever we have projects, we'll definitely stay up until 4 or 5 in the morning, almost everyday as long as the project is going on, and that's the life of design student. If we're staying around MacD, then you'll see us gathering every morning. So you realise how happy and excited and how we're looking forward for that holiday ?

And,

We're on our final project now, which is a huge one, percentage of mark is HUGE as well. Throughout the process, we can really see everyone is doing their best in this project. BUT, there's one BIG problem - designers' stuck which always appears on the design and ideation moment. And guess how we cope with it when you're so stressed up when you have nothing in your mind regarding the designs ? We did some video recording, of 4 fools singing and dancing to the classic hit -ShaLaLa with 4 pizza boxes. Well, this is purely for entertaining + stress relief, and somehow show the very inner part of ourselves.

2 of my friends had just coupled up, today. Congratulation to them, they're really lucky that both of them having the same feeling toward each others. And now I'm thinking of the time when it's gonna be my turn to accomplish my mission. GIRLS' mind are so hard to reach and read, especially YOU.

And these are the updates from this 3 months. I know they're BRIEF, but that's the only thing I can remember and write, at this very moment.

Tomorrow is Sunday, gonna enjoy the last relaxing Sunday before the final wave approach right after that.

Bye, night :)

CNY is coming to the end, but Imma so reluctant to go back, and the strongest reason is because of the work load ! 2 development models, essay and the troublesome plans to complete and all are to be hand in within the week after this, my god, I'm so regret that I didn't bring the tools and complete the drawing here while I got nothing to do.

CNY = sleep + visiting + eat (open house) + TV + sleep.

CNY tend to be boring when you grow older. The only great and fun of CNY is the gathering with all your relatives and the moment when you take picture with all of them, especially the elders. You talk non-stop with your cousins, listen to the elders talking bout their past and even gossiping bout the others, well, I enjoy all these stuff although it tend to be a little bit boring, but these are the memories that will last at least sometime when you grow older.

And I realise that how time flies, not the first time I mentioned bout this. Degree Year 1 is ending like in 2 months time, and we left another 2 years to complete before entering the cruel working society, like how the lecturers and elders mentioned to us.

Working is cruel, remember, there's nothing called equivalence.

2011

Yesterday was 2010,

today,

TAA-DAA !!!

Whole new world (I mean YEAR) !!!

Well, the first day I went to college is like just happen, thanks to all the projects that make time really FLIES !!! Can't believe its 1 year++ ago !

2101,

learnt how to survive when you're studying out of your hometown (without any book for dummies etc),

how's life torture you when you're family is not around you and when mummy forgot to bank-in the daily expenses for you,

and

I still can remember the moment when the plane touches down at Miri airport after returning from KL for my first term break, it's so ... undescribable.

And there're many MORE, read the previous posts for the MORE, luckily I blogged for all of them, or else...

Thanks to all of you, who ever past through my life, you guys know who you are, it's gonna be a long list if I start listing down all your names ! You guys made a great memories for year 2010 and I'm glad I am part of it :)

Remember,

"Memories, good one, it brightens your day; bad one, you take it as an advice."

A personal quote from me.

It's ... HOLIDAY

Yeah, I've been in holiday for 1 week already , out of the 3 weeks ...

As usual, 2 hours flight back, overnight at Eastwood, Christmas party.

All I can say is,


ITS GOOD TO HAVE FRIENDS AROUND YOU,


or else you'll be freaking bored by just celebrating all the events alone.


And

I'm always in standby mode for plan drawing, together with me are my technical pens, scale rulers, set square and butter papers. Good luck in model making, and I'll try my best helping you guys once I'm back, or here :P

Complaning ... again

7 pages for ONLY Chapter I a.k.a Introduction.

That's what we gonna show her tomorrow for the English class. I think I'm not going, since no marks will be given for it, and I didn't even work on it.

She ever mentioned that NO ASSIGNMENT, NO PRESENTATION, NO EXAM and NO MARKS will be given based on this subject. I understand that she have to do something so that she knows our understanding, but NOT IN THIS WAY - 7 pages of writing just to show that you understand what she taught.

OK, she said choose a topic randomly that you don't have to think how to write for the content, but it turns out everyone stressing themselves for this markLESS essay, apa lagi it's just a chapter, a chapter that costs you 7 pages of writing.


I wonder the lecturer ever communicates with each other ? They like don't know the workload given to us, it's like you have to either use your brain or move your hands 24/7. When we complain all these to the lecturers, they blame it on you saying that you're bad in you're time management, WTF !

OK, assume that we reach back home at 5, and you gonna off to bed at maybe 10 (remember someone told us NOT to do work until late night ?). Means you only have 5 hours to do your work, without counting in the time for bathing and dinner. What can you do in this 3 hours ? Finishing just one small part of the plan drawing, done with just 1 model out of the 3 models. You know how it's time consuming for us to finish all these ? How can we sleep peacefully without thinking those unfinished work ?

Never mind though, I'm going out for a little gathering with Tony and Amelia tonight, CHILL man CHILL ! Let it be worried only after I came back from the gathering, 我不屌 !

Finally ...

Finally, our hectic life is ended by going through the last day of Crazy Week (it made us go really CRAZY), almost 1 month of non-stop working (for the previous projects) and sleep-late life.

We have this "Crazy Week", which is a project to be done together by all the Year 1, Year 2 and Year 3 IAD students. It's a competition to choose a representative team for another competition organised by the MSID. We are divided into 5 groups and further divided into 4 categories. I'm in the Furniture category.

Although we're not the overall winning team, but we got a first place in Short Movie category. We are complaining so much before the crazy week starts, but it turns out we appreciating this event by knowing the seniors and learned useful skills and knowledge from them, and the most important thing is their analysis of each and every lecturers, which is really useful of gaining high marks in our future projects. I personally feel sad that the crazy week has ended, as in blending well with the seniors during the last few days of the project.

I'm hereby to thank you the seniors for their corporation especially my category leader, she's so kind that she always stands on our side by considering the hectiness of a Year 1 student life. The point is, they have no marks in this projects, just a pass or fail, but they still guiding us throughout the weeks. I really appreciate the work done by them, especially when I'm not helping much in the process.

Here are some pictures from the Crazy Week project ...

Category A: Montage

Category B: Lighting

Category B: Installation Art

*I don't have the picture of our furniture cause no one upload it on Facebook yet.

.........................

And not to forger bout the celebrating part. We celebrated the ending of our hectic life (at the moment, don't know how long it will lasts before the next project attacks) with badminton matches and treat ourselves with a great dinner, it's fun and deep-heart-feeling to have dinner with friends. And we have plan for tomorrow, MOVIE and KARAOKE !

And I suppose to sleep now, but still updating my blog here to tell the world that I survived for the past few HELL-like weeks. Nah, there are tonnes of projects behind, don't know whether we can survive through it or not, just like what Ms. Jesse described the Year 2 and Year 3 life - SHIT, super high intensive training.
