I need a break.

both by ~metzeal (me lah)

Got pretty much a lot of work done in the last 24 hours because the internet (yes TMNET) decided to revert back to it's normal speed (which isn't even 100kbps as promised) after being shit for the past 2 days. I woke up at 6.30AM to mum yelling out "THE INTERNET IS FAST AGAIN!" Ah, the perks of having a mother who is an internet addict herself :D

Anyway, at the crack of dawn, I managed to get my typography studies journal research more or less finished, my tracing of fonts done (all I need now is to fine tune them according to Mr. Shahrul's liking), and updated my link lists for the reference lists for both Typography and Design Research. When I came back at 11PM, I got one part (Audience/Market) of the CAD report done for Kinna who did splendidly with her part last night. Tomorrow morning, I plan to get my fonts fine tuned and posters made up for printing so I don't have to worry about the presentation till Thursday.

I haven't studied for any of the exams next week and feel myself being royally phucked if I don't do anything about it on Sunday/Monday. I still have a mountain of work waiting for me to deal with it. I can't believe the report is due on Monday and I need to compile a reference list for the Cartoon debate (which I didn't know about till the last second so that was bullshit). *slams head into a nearby wall*. It's OK; I just need to chill for a sec. On to more cheerful events.

Aunt/Uncle/Cousin from Aussie flew down last night. Greeted them at Popo's house as usual and chilled with them for a while. Went to IKEA/IKANO/Curve with them today. Spent about 5-6 hours there (my legs are still wobbly) walking into almost every shop we saw. Got a new chinese lantern light from IKEA and 2 tops from some factory outlet place. There's so many of those now, I can't tell one from another. Had lunch/tea there, walked more, checked out some edifier speakers for my aunt's iPod, walked more, got doughnuts, walked more, bumped into Andy and Wai Kheng, walked more, listened to 'Jizz in the Pants' on cousin's iPod, and so on so forth. It was a very long day.

In other short news:
1. I didn't know we had a new PM till last night (EPIK FAIL)
2. Almost got killed on the way home from PJ because of a certain black Proton Perdana (or whatever it was) which was speeding in a residential area while I was taking a turn on a junction. Screw you bastard.
3. Glad I didn't get lectured about it at home.
4. Semi witnessed an accident outside my house involving a bike, a man lying on the road moaning, a lot of people and an ambulance. No one died.
5. I got RM120+ from Aunt. :D I can afford a few years on my new drivers license which will be renewed on Monday at JPJ or something. WOOT.
