man that was dull.

Make up, clothes, glass bangles. Perhaps it's not my thing but it's fun to step out of your comfort zone for a bit. I arrived at LKW with Anne, Nisha, Denise and Rawad. We met up with Nisha's friend Thanuja and company. We got our temperatures checked (while I coughed into their faces) and tickets ripped.

What was amusing to me was that people were treating us like guests in our own uni. Obviously it's not their fault, they don't know who's from LKW and who isn't. I was on the way to the loo when a guard stopped me and asked where I was going. Told him, and he pointed in a direction and I said "I know. I study here." The look of epikfail.

MAYA was as fun as it got :) There was a row of guys in front of us who were really annoying though. They laughed and jeered and overhyped every small thing that went down onstage. Oh well .. what do you expect anyway? (lol inside joke). The dancers from all the other uni's were pretty good too. My personal fave would be MMU Melaka's dance. I know, a LKW student supporting MMU. Sacrilage. LOL! Taylor's was the worst of the lot. Sorry if you're a Taylor's student but, your dancers sucked. One dude just stood there cluelessly the WHOLE time and the other dancers had to guide him around. Ample amount of time used to rehearse was spent ... mammaking? LOL

Camwhoring 101 + Saree.


Eyetwitching.


Welcome to MAYA

The signature belly dancing.



Had dinner at La Fresh (while being ignored by some people) and met up with Kinna, Adeel and Zain. It was a really good night. Perfect Saturday night spent. Got home at 3 which was ridiculous. I wanted the night to go on but I guess I would have died if I had stayed on any longer.

Anyway, when I got home, I read an interesting article on Facebook last night: 50 Mistakes Women Make When Having Sex. It was seriously lulztastic yet somewhat eyeopening. I thought it'd interest some people I know *winks*

Dad mentioned Liverpool playing this Sunday. I cannot believe how long it's been since I watched a whole football game (excl. Singapore) on TV. But I have to admit, the holidays/off season period I've sort of lost the interest in football ever so slightly. I don't hate the sport any less of course but it's like, that passion has semi burnt out. So, hopefully come Sunday I'll revert back after watching LFC's first game back. It's gonna be so weird without Xabi around now :(

Haven't done anything productive since uni started and that's gonna reflect on how much ass kicking I need. I'm gonna start working on them assignments on Saturday. Promise. I can already hear a group of people laughing behind me and in my head.

I'll be trying out for an internship in Dubai at the end of the year. Thanks to Kazi who's working at a British magazine company specialising in Advertising. He extended me and Kinna an offer to go with him. He also is staying at a place there with the rent being 70% off! So we're looking into living expenses while in Dubai. Mum and Dad gave me the green light too. If it all works out, I'll be working there from Dec - Jan/Feb. ZOMG Dubai.

Shall have dinner with the amigos then go for an evening jog and then come home and pass out. ciao. Hope everyone's enjoying their TGIFs.

Hmm, this is rather shit isn't it? I've made mistakes with quick judgement in the past. I don't intend to make one again ... but maybe I could be doing the wrong thing by not following my first instinct. I could also be making another if I do. *sigh* why does everything happen at the wrong times?

Truth be told though, there never is a good time for bad things to happen.

HERE WE GO!

Mmm, damn I miss eating these. We had some in Australia in abundance due to my aunts neighbours tree which was overbearing with fruit. All we had to do was stand in the backyard and wait for them to fall. Lulz. August is rolling in, Spring will be here any time now.



Classes officially start tomorrow (actually, today) and I have no idea when or what my first class is. Uni decided to be a jackass and not release our timetable till Monday/today. And so I don't even know if it's in the afternoon or morning and I could be wasting my entire day away there. How useless.

Sad thing is, on the eve of my return to uni, my body decides to play a cruel prank and fall sick. I'm suffering a rather harsh cough and sorethroat and all I can hope out of it is that I gain an awesome deep scratchy voice ... because it sounds smexy. LOL. But really though, I really feel the need to get myself a mask for classes. I don't want to get any sicker and I don't wanna spread what I have too.

Another shitty thing is that my gag reflex has been on the fritz as of late. I occasionally feel the need to hurl and when in public, perhaps not a good feeling to go through. I blame the damn cough. Lovely timing la Alison.



Random. Just felt like it. Hallo baby me!

(via chrryblssmninja)

1. Went to uni to register for my new semester. When the lady at the registry asked if I was in "Year 2, semester 2." I was literally speechless. I cannot believe it's been that long. I simply nodded and walked off slighty shocked.
2. Drove down to Alamanda with Kinna, Sami, Mariah, Naz, Edmund and Anne. Had Maccas for lunch (thanks Anne) and Big Apple/Starbucks for dessert. :D
3. Drove back to Cyber and watched half an hour of Chocolat at Kinnas.
4. Chilled at home for a bit.
5. Went for a walk/dinner with Nisha
6. Wondered about certain things about someone.
7. Decided to get a bottle of Absolut come September for no purpose at all.
8. Came home and got killed by millions of mosquitoes.
9. Watched porn for an hour.

Ok that last one was a lie. It was a pretty slow day though eventful. Loved it from start till end. Uni however can go shove itself because you'd think after MANY years of learning from their mistakes made on registration day, it would seem that it can ONLY get worse. They've degraded from the Hall of Fame to the Plaza to the Courtyards. They supposed the whole FDI faculty could fit into a single courtyard. Oh yeah, the bursary was moved to the old Art Shop location. Lovely. I love how much we fork out for such service. Nice. Cbb I guess. Class starts on Monday. Oh yeah, we didn't even get our timetables because the staff are still shuffling it around deciding on how to place the subjects. You only had like 2 months to do so? I <3 LKW!

Ah well. Not as good as last semester but this is a lot better than what I had expected. So, I'll just give myself a pat on the back for now and proceed :)

I know somewhere I've done this before but I couldn't care less and will do it again :DDD

You know you've been in LKW too long when ...

Class no longer seems an obligatory duty to you.
Sometimes. It depends on the class. I hardly attended Comm Studies for obvious reaons.

Wings is the quintessential hang-out spot.
Nah, I'm down at 10-10

You always get up while talking on the phone for your friend to spot where you're sitting.
Sometimes. Just wave only la.

You criticize the very grit and soul of not only the university but also the country, yet you secretly like it and still stay there till the end.
Hahaha! Well I had intended to move on to Curtin this year but I guess this statement is true.

You never hand in your assignments on time.
Not true :D

In computer-aided classes, you never listen to the professor or open the required sites/pages, but always browse around Facebook.
HAHAHA! I remember doing this a lot during Fignon/Sailendra's classes. Mr.Sailendra was OK with it though. He told me to add him. LMAO!

You wander off in the middle of conversations while sitting at the plaza, looking at random passers-by and occasionally greeting the hurried class-goer.
I've never particularly wandered off. But people watching/greeting is a way of life there. Boo hoo!

You wait for the next Wednesday to go to Hops.
Nope. I think I'm gonna stay away from Hops thanks.

You are always on your feet and sleep-deprived towards the end of the semester because of "assignments".
That "assignments" line actually DOES mean assignments.

You never have your student ID (or it's not functional) when entering either the library or the computer labs.
I can't be bothered going into the library anymore.

You get stomach-aches from the hamburgers and MakanLah food in general, yet you still indulge in it.
I don't eat at Makan-Lah anymore. Occasionally fries only. Lesson learned during foundation :D

You only go to class to sign attendance and pretend to have been in class the entire time with a serious face.
HAHA! During Illustration/Life Drawing/Comm Studies. Those classes were a joke to me.

Deep inside, you want to shoot whoever chooses the funeral music being played on the campus radio.
HAHA! I remember someone played Amazing Grace during Raya. WTF?

Towards the end of the semester, your only questions for your peers are, "Are you going home?", "This place is fucking tiring, isn't it?", and "Did you book your ticket?"
*nods*

Deep inside, you want to tell the bands who play at the plaza to "fuck off" and leave you alone; not because their music sucks, but because the sound and acoustics of the open plaza are abhorrent.
YESM! I don't know what they were thinking when they put the stage there. The sound system is stupid.

You know at least 1000 people there.
Is this a trick question?

You talk about "drunk nights", "taxi rip-off nights", "high nights", "long sleepovers", "car rentals", and "clubs" all the time.
Haha. More like I listen to those who talk about them.

Street Mall is your only accessible outlet and hang-out spot of a different nature.
Nah, now got Saba' also. Occasionally the bus to Alamanda. But Street Mall is the easiest.

You smoke three packets a day at the plaza.
Not me.

You constantly ask people for lighters, and even though you can afford three packs a day, you can't find the sufficient funds for a lighter.
See above

Your mandatory second question (after asking the name) is "Where are you from?" when introducing yourself.
HAHAH! Absolutely.

You are sleep-deprived.
Most of the time.

You have a hangover on Thursdays and Fridays.
No. I don't go to Hops *winks*

You hate the university to its core for not at least flattening out the parking across the road and wonder "How the fuck could somebody charge you for that before?"
I never park there, so I'm not bothered. BUT I do wish they'd flatten it out once and for all.

You spend all your money your parents send you on an expensive phone, then somebody jacks it off you in a mall.
Haha. Touch wood.

You constantly talk of transferring to another university, when in truth you never would or will because Limkokwing, in reality, isn't that expensive and you'd just miss spending mindless hours at the Plaza.
Oh man, this is so true in it's own little way. I still don't mind transferring but I've got too much done here already. Plus yes, that Plaza statement. Damn.

You wander up and down the computer hallway looking for an empty lab to use and, when entering, you ask people silently whether they have class.
INDEED. Why don't they have free labs? Seriously? I mean we DO pay for the resource fees. Hallor?

You enter the lab even if they do.
Sometimes. If it's really important. Just ask the lecturer nicely and you're in.

Deep inside, you hate 10Ten for not employing faster and more efficient cashiers that don't laugh every time you want to buy something.
No one's laughed at me but still. I wish they'd move faster.

You start wearing graphic T-shirts (ones that say "I'm Your Ideal Lover", for example), so that people can notice you better.
Ah, I did this in my foundation year. NEVER AGAIN!

The black colors of the university contribute even more to the overall depression.
HAHAHA! I don't mind it.

There is a small, secret rivalry between you and a Multimedia University student over which university dominates Cyberjaya.
There always is.

The bathrooms are horrible and at odds with the enormous funds the university has.
Haha. You need to be smart on which bathroom you choose to enter.

You hate waiting in line at the ATM.
I don't.

You hate the guy who works in 10Ten because he constantly keeps giving you the impression that he is efficient by shuffling your change quickly.
He does? I can't be bothered to notice.

After four years of existence, the campus' tunnels and hallways look like Ancient Egyptian catacombs.
HAHAHA! Yesm! I freaked out at how dark they were when I first enrolled.

You hate it when it starts raining in torrents and you are about to go home.
Happens a lot.

You hate all the faculties of the university for not being able to accommodate students with more than one phone for calling the lecturers.
No kidding, and the phone looks like shit too.

You resort to asking other lecturers about your own lecturer instead.
Yeah. What's new?

You occasionally drop into the marketing department to cool off on a hot day.
Sometimes only with Kinna. HAHA!

The obligatory handshake is accompanied by a slight half-hug.
Boy do I know this.

You wonder, although they have notices about it, why the IT technicians never repair the viruses on the computers.
*shrugs* Stupid jackasses hired them.

You wonder why the printing room is smaller than your closet at home.
Because ... good question.

You are never too young or too old to study there.
*winks*

Just coming through with a bunch of stuff as usual. I haven't done this in a while so I thought it'd be pretty fun :D







How cool are those Typography Necklaces? I'd kill for one that says CMYK!

I've come to realise how UNPRODUCTIVE I've been all holiday. I haven't been earning muneyz and I haven't been working on anything art-wise. Besides the mere fact I took plenty of photos on trips around the place. But I don't really consider that work. Photography may be the art of capturing the beauty in things we see around us; but when you have to come up with something that is stunning and simply isn't there, that's something I am just unable to do.

I dread August all the same. I don't think I'm mentally prepared to go back to uni just yet. I can't come up with any creative ideas for anything let alone a deadline. I'm thoroughly screwed come August. I think they might have raised the toll prices too so I really need to sort out my schedule for next semester so I can be in Cyberjaya as little as I can or the hole in my pocket will spread to my skin and into my very bone. Either that or I'll have to stay over in Cyber once every week or something. (I hear some cheering somewhere)

Anyway, Fernando Torres became a father today (or was it yesterday?) to a baby girl Nora. Olalla gave birth in Spain. Ah well, another girl for Jon Alonso to chase after LOL. Kinda makes me wonder if he'll come to Singapore later this month, being a first timer dad and all. I really hope he does. Heck he can bring Nora if he wants to [/delusional]. The MJ mania still hasn't lifted as every moment spent watching CNN has been devoted to the late King of Pop. I don't even need to tune into CNN, all I need to do is sit in front of Nisha. She's taken his death somewhat personally and has been GLUED to news about him ever since. It's amazing. She better get over it soon or she's gonna drive us all mad with her constant "Did you know Michael ..." or "Turn on Youtube and watch this video of Michael" ... LOL

We all love you Nisha but you've gotta quit while you're ahead. We all miss him but it's time to let him finally rest in peace.

Long day on the 16th. Won't bother going into detail what happened but I'm glad the day turned out the way it did :)


Le start to the day. Waiting on Kavi at her place LOL.


LKW's no smoking campaign revitalized? Nah I don't think so. There were people smoking IN FRONT of this signboard cussing at it haha. Wrote something for Ziad and Adeel. Kinna added something in too :D


Kinnaz


Capt. Deep /Kavi


Ziad and I


Nisha. Le camwhore.


Sami 'broken bibe'


Rare.


Random Hindi movie moment?


Dinner at Saba' / In the middle: The confused Middle Easterners


In the Indian Corner, Nisha and Kavidha.


Adeel, Zain and Ziad in the Pakistani corner.

(not pictured in the random Cina corner: me)

Went to Cyber again yesterday thanks to Thinesh/T-man who drove me and Nisha down. ("Can get to Cyber without paying a single toll you know"). Met up with Kinna and her friend Ika. Her apartment's electricity had been cut off due to late payments in bills but it was back up by 5PM thankfully. I remember those nights. Yes. Not good.

Anyway, me and Nisha went over to Ziad and Adeel's place. We/I finally watched Slumdog Millionaire on Ziad's laptop. It makes me appreciate the soundtrack so much more now of course. Ika and Kinna came along but didn't stay long because Kinna had basketball practise. Then Thinesh came back with the both of them after an hour or so. Everyone hung out then the rest of us left for dinner at Saba' (again) while the guys stayed back to watch cricket (go figure). It was a rather big dinner party though. Kinna, Ika, Nisha, Myself, Devina, Shaz, Ibrahim, Sami, Sanat and Usman. Bumped into Izzy on the way there too. That's someone I haven't met in a while. Wonder how Bob from Libya is doing. LOL. Papa took me and Nisha home :) I left my sunnies in the loo which Devina thankfully found. haha. I'm that lame.

Also, KG comes home today! WHOMG! I cannot, CANNOT wait to meet him.

I'mma call this my long day in Cyberjaya. As I miss it so much.
Swimming, hanging out, just talking. Nothing beats that really.


Putrajaya Botanical Gardens


Sunset at Cyberia.

I'm addicted to Imma Be from the Black Eyed Peas. Someone lend a hand?
(p.s. I got my hair cut :D)

So, today was a vair long day. Eventhough it wasn't eventful, it does secure a place in my ever shit memory.



1. Went for Tun Dr. Mahathir's talk today in uni. It was a really powerful speech. He talked about the wars in today's world and how no one is barely lifting a finger about it and how it's expanded from wars on battlefields to everyday streets, not even concerning trained soldiers anymore but normal civilians and their families. etc. It was pretty amazing if I say so myself. Really wish I had been a little more appreciative of him when he was our PM. Ziad managed to shake his hand so he was all fanboyed out. LOL


Go Ehsan! LOL.




*giggles*


all photos are taken by me. not to be used anywhere.

2. Went to lunch after that with Kinna and Ziad. We went to Al-Jazeera (yes, the news channel) and soon after, Ala and his friend Rami came along. So that's me at a table with a Malay, Pakistani and two Yemenis. It was the most amusing thing ever too cause I was the only Chinese kid in the whole restaurant. LOL. Whatever, I got Chicken Khabsah :D It was nice to hang out with Ala again. Haven't done so since foundation.

taken by mum.
not bad uh? Mum's getting her photog on. Taken at Fraser's Hill.

Just came back (ok more like 2 hours ago) from an A&W night out with Rizal. Yeah, A&W. When was the last time you went to one? Sadly, all I had was rootbeer. Should have ordered proper burgers or something. Poo. Was much fun talking to him as always about pronouncing such words as "faux pas" and how people mess it up so bad it makes us lauff our bums off.



Well, anyway as the final week approaches in my semester (technically mine was done last week), I shall take some moments to thank everyone who make my time in Uni more bearable and awesome with each day. Past, present and hopefully the future

Thanks for:


Always being around to listen to my problems no matter what they are and just being what normal people would call "best friends"


Making me laugh whenever I'm pissed or just feeling low.


Bringing back old memories of fun times we had.


Showing me fun can be had no matter what the location and who the company.


* Introducing me to new things and new people


** Bringing me so much joy and happiness and help when I've needed it (not pictured: Nazmi)


For living with me and being such amazing housemates.


For being hot so I can post your picture here. HAHA. And I love you too XD


For bringing me lulz more than I can count on my fingers and toes.


& most of all, being close to me throughout ALL these years.

Rizal, I'd add your pic here but you might yell "HARAM! Faux pas!" at me LOL.

* I miss you two a lot. Come visit soon please?
** I haven't forgotten about you Nabs. I miss you way too much.
