A week prior to presentation day.

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…

I wanted to write about what happened the other night. And no, it’s not about a good night (if you know what I mean) nothing obscene, inappropriate or containing any explicit content whatsoever. Anyway, I figured I should just skip to the essence of this post -which is nothing but uh.. just an update of what I did recently.

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.

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

Tuesday, February 9th. the lazy day

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

We had a 3-hour lunch break today. Initially we wanted to have McDonald’s but when Cindy suddenly mentioned the word meatballs, we wanted to have some at Ikea. So we, Cindy, Meera, Danang, Muiz and I drove there. When we got there, it turned out ze meatballs would only be served at 11.30am so we took a lil’ tour around Ikea and played around macam budak-budak hitam yang jakun. hahahah.

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

Danang and me

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.
