First, I only had 2.5 hours of sleep, because I was busy finishing up the drawings for our art kiosk project. It’s a small duo project, lecturer said, but it needs a lot of thinking and alot of tedious works. Like, thinking how to make the structure moveable and transformable. Sounds fun, but it’s a snooze to me. It’s a kiosk for  god’s sake. How fancy could a kiosk be, on a street where there’s a lot of old buildings? Like, say, Jonker street of Malacca. (Hence, the trip to Malacca)

Anyway, right before the presentation, we had 3Ds max exam 1. and I couldn’t do it. There were so many steps, I couldn’t keep up. I always have problems with computers or rather, they have problems with me since they wont do what I want them to do. Specifically Windows. haha. Plus somehow the program wont let me undo AT ALL so I was so stressed like hell. Turned out I needed to restart the program. FML. Plus I was having an ache on the backside of my ribs. I dont know why, stress maybe.

Then, Studio time. I was so down by the stupid test, it killed my excitement to present. Most of the times I was lost of words. It was the shittiest presentation I’ve ever done, like, ever. Mind you, I normally give an above average, or fairly good presentation like I dont even feel nervous whatever shit. But this time, I have no idea why. Maybe I was blur or having one of those blanks. Anyway, the lecturer seemed to like the concept, but I strongly think we should have done more drawings and sketches to convey the idea. Like I said, I wasnt very excited about this project and that made me kinda lazy. HAHA! (ok, not funny.)

And then, after the shit exam and shit presentation, all I wanted to do was go home and play with my baby sister and my rabbit. But again, another shit happened and I was stuck in jam for 1.5 hours. THE WORST JAM EVER. Usually it takes me 25 mins to get home. I was so disappointed, so stressed about the jam and everything else, I cried in the car. hahahaha (now, that’s funny).

Got home, I went straight to my room, didn’t even say hi to mum and cried again. haha. So emo la this girl. Then, I toughened up, lied to myself that everything will be okay, took a shower, and head downstairs to buka puasa.

Hmm.. fasting month, afterall, is a month to test your patience. Maybe there’s a bright side to all of these. I’m sure there is.

Anyway, right now I’m not sure if architecture really is for me. Maybe I just need to get inspired. I just hope that I’ll be excited for next project. And another. and another. Atleast enough to sustain me until I get my part 2, or part 3. I’ll figure out what I want I really to do once I finish my studies.

Maybe, just maybe, I get to become an artist.

p.s, yesterday might be a bad day for me, but not today. Had a good time shopping with my mum and spending the day with her.

With classes! and some other things. yes, I’ve started semester 4, it’s the third week now and we already had 3 days 2 nights class trip to Malacca! It was more like a vacation trip than an educational one. Everyone was free to explore on their own. I had fun shopping, and museum hopping. One thing though, the sun was blazing HOT!

SO freaking tired we decided to recharge in the museum. hahah From left: Ujai, Iman, me and Pierre.

Polaroid photo. My favourite shot! From left: Aisyah, Danang, Cindy, Iman and Hafidz.

Sadly, I didn’t bring my digicam so I only had my dSLR, and I don’t always use it. Sometimes I still need my digicam. oh well.

Oh, funny thing is, I met my bestie, Syad there. I totally forgot that she’s studying there. Thank god she randomly called me. So we had iftar together.  And apparently, I had my first asam pedas! It was spicyyyyy! hahaha. Will post more pics from my Fisheye soon!

Ok, gotta run. Bye!

Oh yea, btw, Anyone has Tumblr?  I actually created my account long time ago, but only started to use it last night! hahah I need more people to follow, so let me know if you have one! Follow me! Teehee! (haha, damn excited this woman)

This is the freaking last week of holidays!

WTF!

How can I not realize this???!!!! I regret the times I’ve spent procrastinating doing my projects. Then again, that’s what holidays are for; for you to relax, and take your time. Still, after I found out that I have very little time left, I quickly drank my coffee, hoping that I’ll stay up for the day and I shall start doing my next sewing project. I still have 3 fabrics left and I know I can finish them all before the semester starts but I still want to sew more. gaaah! I hate being myself, for wanting to do many things yet I’m glad I do know how to utilize my free time.

There are things I didn’t get to do during my holidays. Things that maybe I’ve forgotten to do. Like, rock climbing, exercise more, join a gym near my house, redesign my blog and continuing my sewing lessons. Oh well, maybe next time then. But atleast I’ve sewed quite a lot (not really) because I might not be able to this next semester break as I’m planning to do my internship, get it over with once and and for all, hope that I won’t screw it up. Ha ha, most likely not. And atleast I’ve also managed to lose a few kilos. I should might as well practice on Autocad as soon as semester starts because I do not want to come to class, forgetting everything, thank god I bought an Autocad book, which is not that easy to follow (ha-ha, boo!).

ANYWAY, before I start working on my next project, let’s see what I’ve done previously. I made them about 3 weeks ago and have since only made one which I haven’t taken pictures of.

Lil miss origami danielle

I was lazy to draft a pattern myself and so I downloaded Danielle pattern and it turns out it takes just as much time to put all the printed pieces together. And I added those origami things on the bodice just to make it looks more interesting and gives the illusion of fuller top.

Rawr, missy, rawr!

I wanted to make a really quick dress so I used a pattern I downloaded a while ago. I couldn’t find the link of the pattern but someone did find the pattern on Russian version of Burdafashion. It took me just 3 hours to get everything done including the finishings but took me another 7 hours just to sew the beads. So much for a quick dress. hahah.  I made a good choice of pattern for the print.

Basic Shirt

What can I say? It’s just a basic shirt. I drafted the pattern myself and I love the fit. The picture definitely doesn’t do justice to my fabulous thighs. Oh well.

Oh, cooked lunch with my bro under my mum’s supervision today. I love cooking with my brother, he’s so bad at it he makes me look like I have special talents for cooking! HAHAHAH and hari ini berjaya masak nasi tanpa mengukur air jadi saya amatlah bangga. Tapi lepas tu lupa nak turn on rice cooker. -_____-”

p.s, I agree, the title is annoying. harharhar.

Yes, I’ve been missing for quite a while. and I’m still very much alive. hoho. So, the week before my Studio 1 final project was really hectic. I spent  four days doing my model only to realize the measurements were so messed up I couldn’t even assemble the pieces, and re-doing the model was the only worthy thing to do.

So, after I realized I only had exactly less than 48 hours to do my model AND presentation board, I spent about 2 hours of my time panicking in the middle of the night. Out of desperation, I called a few of friends to come over and help me. To cut the story short, Syad, Syida helped me with the site model. Eddie and Mediha helped me with the model. On Thursday, which was the submission day, I was very much behind, so much, that Eddie was willing to take an emergency leave to come over and help finish the model.  My mum and my sister helped as well. A million thanks to them for all the help and support. Love them much!

In short, it was really really hard for me. There was always something else that happened to make the whole process… challenging. There was lots of sweat, tears and burns, literally. I even fell sick for a day and a half while I was working on it and it sucked, yeah. I even almost gave up cause I  thought my design was really bad. haha.

Presentation Day.

on wall: A0 presentation board. on table: 1:100 study models, sketches compilations, drawings, portfolio, and 1:50 final model

I wasn’t quite confident about my design, but I tried to console myself. Forced other people to tell me that I’m awesome (haha) and after a few jumping jacks outside of the classroom, I regained a bit confidence and presented. In the end,  I did quite well, I think. One of the critiques liked my design and she said that my design was quite mature and that I’ve put a lot of thoughts into it.  Coming from her, I do feel it’s quite a big compliment and I’m so glad.

I’m pretty much proud of it. Whatever the grades turn out to be, so be it. I gave my best (tho I know there’s always a room for more).

Oh, and in case if you’re curious, the house is based on the concept of Illusion of Vertigo. Basically I was trying to make the house to act like an adrenaline rush generator. It’ll be located on the edge of a sea cliff and it’s gonna be really exhilarating to be in the house.

Okay, now, let’s move on.

After the presentation day, I’ve been spending my time going out with my sister. I bought a Pattern Making for Fashion Designers book and it’s been really helpful for my recent project, though it’s only a shift dress but it’s satisfying the fact that I drafted everything myself. hehe.

my sister, Arina

me, a little koo-koo. as always.

I wanted to put a sneak preview of my newly sewn dress but the pictures turned out blurry so… no peek-a-boo. sorry! and.. err… don’t ask me why I’m putting up the pictures instead. haha. ok bye.

pssst, I’m currently in Port Dickson at the moment. Aida wanted to go to the beach so my dad made a last-minute short trip here. lol.

and I accidentally disabled commenting. WTF. grrr…

This is a constructional model of a house, a group project of four, Meera, Cindy, and Danang, lead by me. It was pretty much a pain in the ass to figure out the construction. We had to re-construct the building and strip off the building to show the construction, much like a reverse engineering. Haha, did I just made it sound very technical and geekishly cool? Maybe, yes, depends on how you see it. Anyway, I always think engineering is cool. heheh.

Click the image above if you prefer bigger things.

So I have one week holidays now. I do have some assignments to do, nothing much. Just atleast 20 sketches of details and some boring stuffs. And also maybe think about my studio but that’s not really important. oh yeaa, Autocad too, …I think.

In times like these, it’s easy to feel depressed. Both when I’m stressed about work, and stressed about not having much thing to do. Also when I’ve recently gained weight which is a contribution factor to depression. Luckily enough, I have someone who never fails to make me happy to counteract the melancholia.

Maybe I’m just being dramatic ;p

Stayed at home. Morning class cancelled. Didn’t do any assignments, was feeling messed up. Don’t wanna talk about this day.

Move on.

Wednesday, February 10th – The day Azima left Malaysia

Had class from 8am-12pm. Then, went bowling and had Wendy’s for lunch. Then, went home, compiled printed photos as a gift for Azima. Took me one hour then suddenly Asma came to pick me up to go to KLIA (KL International Airport) and by then I didn’t have the time to take a bath. Heck, I didn’t have the time to change.
*insert curses here*

Then, off to KLIA together with Azima, after we picked up Wafi and Imran. Imran was wearing a pretty gay shirt. They then dropped the bomb.

Wafi: Kitorang couple sekarang.
Me: Whaat? *jaw drops* Are you F* serious?
Imran: yeaah. Kenapa? Salah ke?
Me: Nooo. It’s just that, korang dulu bukan ada gf semua ke?
Imran: Yelah, tapi kitorang dah jadi gay sekarang
Wafi: Tido sama-sama pakai boxers je.
Me: ooohkay. woww. korang dah maju. hahaha.

I was sitting with them in the backseat and caught them making out. But I couldn’t be bothered that much. Was holding back tears. haha.

We chilled at McD while waiting for Azima to board. Laughed laughed laughed. Snaped snaped snaped. Laughed again. Then cried. (no pictures)

Those who came

four girls, Shlyn, Azima, Aisyah, Asma. (my face look weird here. oh well)

Looks like we have more male friends then female...?

aaar, Imran blocked my face!! grrr

(from left) meet Ehsan, Aisyah, Asma and, Mr.Mc Donald.

Four gorgeous girls and... uh... Mr.Usop. haha

After sending off Azima, we hung out at Burger King cause I was so hungry. Some of us left, leaving only Usop, Kai, Abu, Imran, Wafi and I. Then, since the guys were going to go somewhere to hang out, and I needed to go home, I asked someone to pick me up and send me home. hehe  :p

Got home. Did my assignment. Stayed up very late and had only one hour of sleep.

Oh, btw, it turned out, they’re not actually gay, they were just messing with me. -____-”

Thursday, February 11h – Surviving the day

Woke up late again. Rushed to college. Felt sleepy. Finished morning class at 10am. Had a curry puff for lunch. Then crashed Cindy’s place and had a nap for 1 hour. Went back to college with her for Design 1 class. Felt hungry, went down and bought a Kit Kat Chunky. Did my presentation on my model. hah. So fucked up cause it’s the last minute assignment again. Sheesh. Then, during the second half of the class, I got hyper and took cardboard cut outs and played gun shooting quietly with Danang and shot random people in the class. Some died tragically, and some seemed to be bulletproof and… so… serious.

Class ended. So happy. It’s holidaysssss!

Anyway, that evening, met up with someone. Had some toast with kaya and butter and iced chocolate drink at Old Town White Coffee. Also, I laughed horribly out of control. Sorry.

Went home, saw some mee rojak but didn’t eat. Went online, chat with some friends until 7.30pm then fell asleep.

Friday, February 12th – Null

Woke up at 3.38am, feeling slightly confused. Went back to sleep at 4.38am. Woke up at 8am. Then went back to sleep at 10.30am until 1.30am.  Drove to Bangi to pick up my sister at KMB and that evening, hung out with NoktahHitam, Abdusfauzi and Odin. Slept some more from 8pm to 9pm, and went early to bed at almost 12.am. hahahaha. I wasn’t even that tired to sleep that much but I felt sleepy pretty much sleepy the whole day. Headache too. Ok I know I’m rambling. So blaaah.

********************

Random:

Spent almost Rm50 this week.

Apparently, it’s unrealistic to allocate only RM10 per week. But I need money!!!

I think I need to take some drastic measures. Wake up earlier, and pack my own lunch. Plus, it’s healthier. Either that, or starve at school, eat curry puffs every day.

First off, I need a damn good super annoying alarm clock. Or, try to sleep earlier.

********************

Miss you Ms. Azima Zahdi pimbolipotpetpotpet!

Meera, Cindy and me. Oh love those fluffy things. So, so comfyyy. xD

Everyone in the toilet together all happy! hahahah

and yeah, we actually lied and took photo in this small little showroom. And at the very moment when this picture was taken, there was a bald guy standing at the side staring at us. hmm...

This is how a momma (Meera) and two children look like in the kitchen. hahah

All of us had meatballs! yeay!

After we had our meatballs we quickly drove back to college, and got there *almost* in time, thanks to Meera’s good experience in driving and her reliable sense of direction especially in avoiding traffic jams. Way to go Meera! hoho :p

Gonna have as much as random short outings before our works get piled up! Or, until we all get broke. hahah. It’s early of the month, everyone is rich. for now.

So anyways, this is the first stage of design process, to explore the possibilities of the material. We are not supposed to make anything yet, not supposed to make it beautiful, or represent anything at all, but to experiment and stretch the potential of wax.

Experiment 1: Casted in random metal shapes and stuck the abstract pieces together.

Experiment 2: Casted in handmade aluminum foil casing and experimented with water to create voids in the wax.

Experiment 3: using modelling wax

Not only I suck terribly at modelling, but due to the type of wax that is very soft and does not harden, made this one a total failure. I left the wax in the car, and when I brought it to class, it became shit. I mean, literally look like shit, except it’s red. ahahahah. Funny red shit.

So, in the end, I’m glad with my exploration, so did my lecturer. According to her, I did the best exploration compared to the rest so, YEAY for that. I’m so kiasu! ahahah. Hmm, some of the students wanted to go too far, they come up with concepts and shit, and failed to do more on exploration. Some did really well too.

Hopefully I can survive this semester. It’s only week two and I haven’t even start cutting yet and look what happened.

Picture taken about 1-2 mins after the accident. To those who are afraid of blood, heh too bad for you! ahahah. It was almost midnight and my mum saw it, she got so freaked out she couldn’t even get near me. hahah. Took freaking about 10- 15 mins (which felt like forever) for the wound to stop bleeding, and that tissue was then fully soaked in blood by the time the bleeding stopped. Oh yeah, a scalpel did this to me. Don’t ask me how it happened, pretty stupid.

Well, at least now I know how to format, install, backup and restore on Mac. hahah. *sedapkan hati sendiri*

Anyhoo, I took some pictures while installing. So, lets see them first, shall we?

Oh, I love the fabric! It almost like splashes of paints in a glance, reminds me Jackson Pollock’s contemporary art, except it’s actually a more abstract form of flower print. heheh. As usual, I use Japanese cotton. The usual price is about RM48 (approx US$14.4) per meter, if I’m not mistaken. I saw this fabric a while ago but when I came back to get it, it wasn’t there. Then, I dug piles of remnant fabrics and found it, only RM30 (approx US$9) 2.6m! Am I lucky or what?

For this particular dress, I used Celestina pattern from Burdastyle website. Much thanks to Eddie for making this possible :p Anyways, I modified the sleeves to be a straight sleeve, and made the hem shorter.The belt is supposed to be tied on the back, but I like it much better in front! hoho.

*off topic*

oh yeah, I now also can take a deep breath of relieve and so do you (maybe) since somebody is generous enough to offer a sponsorship for my blog! For some reason, he’s keeping his identity secret and won’t reveal even a name. It was only until I insisted that he told me to link to his website, Sejukz.org. Thanks so much! So, yeay! I’ll keep blogging! hehe :p

Now, moving on.

Today was first day of college! yeay! Most of the classmates had some transformation, mostly new hair. Few gained weight. Me included. hahah. College was weird. Lotsa new faces yet seemed very empty now that Hospitality & Tourism students moved to the new campus.

The first two classes was well… boring. hahah. Then, Meera, Danang, Muiz and I went to the new Taylor’s Lakeside campus to get the limited parking sticker.

‘

We didn’t explore much. Basically just walked through to Architectural building which is not fully completed, probably why we are only moving there in April together with Mass Comm students. Can’t wait for all the shifting completed cause I wanna flirt with cute engineering students! Nah, just kidding. hahah. I actually can’t wait to use the massive library. and courtyard. hoho. Also, another good news is our studios are right beside the parking lot! woooo!

Danang, reading the brochure. The building is obviously not fully completed yet. It’s far too new and foreign. Even Starbucks has not settled from their wheels yet (the red van). heheh. I’ll talk about the new campus later when we all moved there. Hopefully it will be more habitable. :p

I’m so excited for Design Studio 1 subject! Not sure if I’m gonna do well, but, I’m psyched nevertheless! In spite of that, I’m a lil’ frustrated because I don’t get the chance to sew a bubble dress I’ve been longing for, but my mum said that I should concentrate with my studies eventhough I know I could finish it before the lecturers give out assignments. Gagagaga….

I tried out Parallel Desktop 5 and it turns out that it actually integrates both Mac and Windows! Impressive huh? Check out the screenshot above and spot the differences! Well, actually, it’s not too impressive since it lags the computer a lil’ bit. So I guess if I were to use Autocad, maybe I should just boot to windows.

oh, special plug for Danang!

p.s, I like that red pants okay! hahah
