So, it’s been like forever since I last posted which was prior to my winter break. Now, it all over, and it’s nearing spring in just a couple of weeks. I’m already in my third week of semester, and damn, time flies! Seriously, things have been pretty busy for me. I guess this is what final semester is all about *insert sigh here*.

Winter break was well spent in Malaysia. I realized nothing could replace the time I can spend with my family and my husband. They are the bestest people I could spend my time with. My husband and I, we spent so much time together, and I it made me realize how happy and special he makes me feel. Seriously, there hasn’t been a day where he didn’t make me laugh when we’re together.

Ok, enough about my husband before I get all TMI*. hahah. Melbourne is just as perfect as it was. I love it here, and I’m coping much better than I did last time. It feels like the norm to see my husband through the screen again. Yeah, weird, I know. I’m surprised myself.

This semester is gonna be crazy. Starting next week, I’ll have submissions every week, and the studio workload may be overwhelming, if I slack a little. I’m doing a showroom for race cars, especially used and/or won cars with a minigolf on top (it’s part of the brief). It’s an exciting project where they allow us to sort of let loose, and have fun with it, which is great!

I sketched this car, hoping to learn and be inspired for my project. It’s a very rough and possibly amateur sketch, but whatever, it’s my first time sketching a car, and for some reason I thought I made the right choice to use ink.

Fortunately, my tutor loved my ideas, and I hope I can continue to make him excited about it. hoho. Thanks to my husband for suggesting race cars, I think it’s a brilliant idea and it fits the rough ideas I have in my head.

Man, I can’t believe I’m in my last semester. Just a little bit more.

…until Master.

p.s, it feels awkward to write again after so long

Before I took off to Down Under, my husband told me that he wanted to get a motorbike. Not sounding like a queen control, I protested. I told him he can get it once I’m back for good.

When I first got married to him, I found his excitement towards engines quite fascinating. I don’t understand it, but it’s okay, I don’t want to, and I don’t need to. Seriously though, they’re just engines and yes, there were nights where he let me sleep alone so that he could watch videos or documentaries about cars or motorbikes! oh well, boys will always be boys. I’ll be worried if he’s more excited about Barbie or doing his hair. I’ll just show my support and he can show his support towards my love  towards shopping.  hehehe 😀

After he told me that he seriously wanted to get a bike,  he kept on pestering me with it, even after I said what I said. Almost every night, I went to bed with engine sounds ringing in my ear as my husband (excitedly) feeding himself with videos of bikes showing off their horse power. He kept doing the same thing even after I flew here. Finally, I told him, he can get a bike, if he promises to keep himself safe, and, to not ever let anyone ride on the back, AND never to respond to girls glaring.

Why did I say the last one, you may ask. No, I’m not insecure. I trust my husband with all my hearts. However, I am a girl and I damn well know how a girl feels! Well, atleast a girl who thinks alike. There is one thing that can turn a woman on: big equipments. Atleast for a first impression.

Big equipments here can mean many thing, but they’re not too far off from each other. It’s either big expensive cars, big cameras, big golf club, big watches (not literally of course) and last but not least, big bikes because all these equates to possibly big salary. Yea, we women don’t know much about all the specs, engine sounds, whatsoever, so we take these things visually (or $$$). If they are attractive to us, and chances are, so are you.

Anyway, like I said, I trust him and I know how much he loves me. It’s just that thinking about how he MIGHT be under girls’ radar now (hopefully not) is quite disturbing. I am very posessive when it comes to my things. Even to this day, I freak out whenever somebody touches my stuff (except for certain people like my husband, my parents and my sister). No, seriously. That’s one of my pet peeves.

Actually I am very excited he got the bike. Like, VERY EXCITED. Firstly, I always (secretly) wanted to have a guy who plays the guitar but never actually met someone who could, and turned out I married one! And now, this? How lucky can I get?? ;D

I can hear the backseat calling for my name. (stole this picture from his FB album :P)

I can’t wait to go back Malaysia and ride with my husband to random places. I’ve been talking about driving to Malacca just to have a bowl of cendol since forever and now that he got the bike, we’re gonna do just that! Woohoo! 😀

Heyy, I was bored and lazy but I didn’t want to give in to the temptations of obsessively texting my husband, distracting him from work, so I pulled out my camera and started recording myself. With clothes on, of course.

Sorry, banyak merepek mostly. Pardon me, I haven’t gone out of the house for 4 days. I told myself to go out, get some air, EVERYDAY but the weather’s too cold. Plus, I don’t have any money, so..  =/

Right, should really get back to my essay. Zzzzzz

It’s been ages since I logon to this blog and seeing all the comments, I was wondering what was my last post about?  By this post, it also means that I’m getting more sane. Guess what?! My mood is revived now that my husband came to visit me for a week!

So, what did we do? ehem ehem. *clears throat* yes, that. AND much more! 😀

#Day 1 : Arrival

Oh, funny story about his arrival. I wanted to pick him up at Southern Cross Station but that would mean skipping my class, so he told me he will call me instead. I was expecting his call atleast by 10am but 11am, and there was still nothing. Worried, I went to Southern Cross Station all the way from my class (at Melbourne uni) to wait for him but he was nowhere at sight. Feeling more anxious I called up AirAsia to enquire about the flight (HAHA) when suddenly I got a call in and it was him. He told me he was already in Uni! haha. I was relieved but also felt like slapping myself for going all the way to the station and lost 30mins worth of time I could already be seeing him!

Anyway, I was really glad I saw him. We went back to my place, I let him rest and that night we had sushi for dinner. That night we were staying over at a senior’s house who’ve kindly let us stay in their house while they go out on a vacation.

#Day 2 : Walk in Museum

I must say that we’re both fan of museums and I purposely didn’t go to the museum just so I could go there for the first time, with him eventhough it’s free for students. Now, we were impressed  with the lengths they went through to make the museums look as cool as possible!

Most of the the things in museum were about the history of Australia, which were very interesting. I could go on and on about what’s in the museum but let’s not make this post super long. I highly recommend you checking out the museum if you’re in Melbourne though.

That is one scary fish! It’s not real though, but it looks like it, right??

Impressive digital vending machine. :p

Funny thing is when we went to the museum, they were having an antic art show for $34 while it was supposed to be free for students. So out of frustration, we walked out until we realized we went into the wrong building! And it was right next to the Melbourne museum. I knew how the museum looked like but I guess I was too early in the morning and I was still in slumber. Hahaha.
