Spine Swirling

Aching spine, I can't bend, I can't drive, I have to sit up straight and this morning I can't even put on my socks... The IIUM clinic surely ain' helping... presribing me with panadols and deep heating rubs...and in 2-3 weeks if it's not ok then come again.... Feeling that it's getting worst, i hurts even when i'm standing up. Alhamdullliah I've got great friends that would lend me a hand to hold when i had to sneeze and it actually felt like i'm being stab.. I'm so dramatic... sishh....But tq ROOMIES!!! muahkz...luv u all sooo much!!

I'm upgrading my pc... new processor, new 2nd hand mobo? and dvd writer... and certainly leaving me poorer... waiting for ptptn...to sustain my life....Last nite i completed the assignment for research method, doing a study on children anthropometrics and ergonomics, hoping it would contribute to my design thesis.. It's final, i have make up my mind to do something for children... The rocky road ain't gonna change my aim and objctive, I hope...

Last nite's dream was filled with plot containing him... Am I unnconciously missing him teribbly? I felt so stupid during the Friday incident, In the situation of heart controlling over mind, I let go my lucky coincident and i end up screaming in the car due to my stupidity. Still recovering and shifting to my +neutral mode.... Hoping not to hope to much to be lucky....

WAR!!

Acne strike again~~ the ugly bumps eikss... just during picture taking session for matric card.. dap more of those compacts! Useless... Miss my dewy complexion during schooldays, to many pollutantss... When u get older it's a nightmare thinking about the lines u make when u frown too much... and the eye bags swellin... more and more looking like a panda. Eikss... like i don't have anything else to think about? Got a report to compile, UBBL to digest and improved design idea to wonder about.

Today's urban design class is cancelled, so i have the rest of the day to worry about the project... I need a printer, a swim, a moment less to worry. And my eyes kept wondering away when i'm thinking... Dum dum du bidoo... I'm restless and it's freezing in here... might as well continue my work at the studio... daa~~~~

Nostalgic Moment

Archais day wasn't as exciting as the Archais Dinnner. Just the fun of knowing the juniors & seeing them as future helpers as we say 'toyol'... Adda & I were the most seniors in the group since Lan & kak Pa'e can't make it. A big hand of applause for the enthusiastic 1st years...During the treasure hunt we were a bit reluctant to join, but we felt responsible - leaving them on their own was a bit cruel.. so we joined the whole event... The games were not associated with architecture, need more new attempts for next year. Mindnote- remind future organizer. The dinner was grand, lil' bit unexpected as we weren't considered to the theme 'black, white & red'. We can see the potential in the 2nd year now, as they were a bit invinsible during their 1st year. The multimedia was 'nostalgic' missing all the point-SIXers... Mad Pa & Katun did join the dinner, but with only 7 gals it wasn't as happening as it was. Leaving the dinner with +melancholic mode.

Yesterday Adda & I went to OU to support my friends who entered the Pam Student Design Competition, the task was to design a future PAM building & it required them to produce the basic drawings & a study model. I had a chance to browse through the exhibition featuring the works from all the Architectural schools, but the wasn't as organized as it should be as all the works are paste up at random. We also met black, yaya, azim, din and some seniors & juniors... I left OU with 'otak yang sebu'. Tina said it was luck, i wonder a lot these days... although i'm happy, let's not get too excited...+neutral mode, expect less... stop by IKEA to buy a mouse pad? just a reason to wonder around... i add up some drinking glass to replace the glasses i accidently broke at home & the spaggetti twirler that i've been looking for. Thank gawd Kepong wasn't as jammed pack as i predicted.. pitstop at home to hangkut my computer...& the roller blades & skates.Had a feast of Pulut durian- thank you to Ikha's mom... hehee... my first durian this season.. Then had a chat with tina bout otak yang sebu & felt asleep...

Work in progress

firstly, let me smile :) 'sampai telinga' +neutral mode... the week started with a feeling being squished under the wheels, but as it always does..it got better and better... i've realized that i have a studioful of good friends, but bestfriends are scarce... i have a tendency to be alone, i don't know why but in a perspective i feel more content when i walk alone. i've move to Mahallah Asiah, with tina, adda & anis as my roomates with aina, ikha, asma', shim & emon next door. it really bring back the memories in matrics PJ.

studio work~~~ sometimes you miss em' but sometimes... duhai.... a lot to do- we'll be designing a highrise office building & the group work have started.. there are 7 of us aza, bash, kepep, joe, razi, tira & I.. the studio have been set up and we've visited our proposed site, situated at the crossroad of Jalan Ampang & Jalan Tun Razak, adjecent to Tabung Haji. + refreshing our understanding of vertical transportation & HVAC system... My task for today was to go to DBKL. Going up & down, i'm so tired... the bus ride to KAED was certainly a dull one.

heart mode + i was wrong? :) i have a seat by the window. i love my workspace ... tommorow is archais taa'ruf dinner...with the theme red, white & black... what to wear?

Tensing Boredom

These few days have been keeping me occupied with the processes we have to through in order to graduate and enroll for Bachelor of Architecture..Going back and fourth to the administration & record office, finance, library, mahallah and the security office. They have taken away my matric card so I'm officially not a IIUM student since I couldn't register yet as new students.. due to the stupidity in progress, they ask us to register today yet they ask for payment that is not determine- so unorganized.the problem In IIUM, when there is any event of such, the whole office would be closed. Is it to hard to keep the front counter opened? People come from far and have to come home empty handed just because they have 'internal activities'- active sangatla AnR..closing the office just to listen to a talk on productivity or quality (isn't it ironic) . Enough with all these bureaucracy,sending me to the land of boredom

I would like to recommend a new Korean movie,'a millionaire's first love' I know the title is a bit goooeyyy lovey dovey, but it's not that dramatic..it's bout an orphaned guy who would inherit his grandfather's fortune when he turn 18 with the condition that he has to graduate from a school in his gram's village..he's snobbish brat with kewl rides & he's cute. While the girl is innocent looking but very outspoken. huhu..After weeks of searching for 'in her shoes' I finally rent the original cd from Videoezy yesterday. The fact that I like the most is it's about two sisters that have nothing in common except both of them are shoe fanatics. The elder sis, rose-have a huge collection of shoes that she buy to comfort her self. I quote 'Clothes won’t fit you when you're fat, but shoes will always fit'. I mad about shoes myself, being size 9 ½, I always had to ask what's the biggest size they offer before browsing. most shoe stores in Malaysia doesn't cater large shoes sizes, only some stores like Vinnci, Lewre, Clarks and Snowfly have em, and they are very limited- only 2-3 pairs per shop and they are frequently out of stock or just not my taste, I would have to fight for it with mak nyahs that want to wear heals..pity me ehh? When I have my chance to go to U.K or Europe one day I'd buy loads of shoes :p – I wish..

Finish reading 'Empress Orchid' a love the book as it describe the procedures of selecting the emperor's wife and the different ranks of the concubines. It also uncovers the nasty bitchy things they do to gain power in the forbidden city. There's also a map of the forbidden city in the book & a lesson on 'fan dance' in one of the chapters, heeehee..but the ending is a bit dull & predictable as empress orchid witness the fall of china. I'm also eyeing a new novel 'Geisha' written by the first non-Japanese that became a geisha. I've read memoirs of geisha & watched the movie. I think the life of geisha are fascinating, very delicate and full of art- their dance, ceremonies even the way Japanese wrap their gifts. One of my favourite documentaries is about the art of wearing the kimono. My dad went to Japan when I was 9, & I kept nagging him to buy me a kimono, instead he bought me a 'summer daily wear' I love the motif of sakura & bluebirds with the light pink background. While my sis's was blue & gold with elaborated phoenix motif. It is one of my dream to go to Japan & witness the sakura in full bloom & try on the kimono.

Tales of the heart.. I think I've been blocked..stripped from my tendency to stare..is it true? Or should I stop listening to my heart. Hoping semester would start faster, for work to occupy me...

Single Space

Yesterday i went to Cheer 06, the interschool cheerleading competition- held in bukit jalil. Getting up early for a change, it's a relief to have something todo. Some of my favourite squads are the ones from ttdi, sri bintang utara & the dynamitez from damansara jaya (azim' fav & the defending champion) but my favourite scene is when joey g danced with the pom poms... he's so cute ;) i wonder who won... i left before the end, bout 3.30pm... though of stopping by kl to take some pictures, but when i browse through from the lrt, there wasn't much photo worthy highrise...

If only i were in singapore.. there'd be much to see...anyway, i've develop a new habit... bitting my lips.. and i discovered that i like to give empty stares, i realised it when i was alone in the lrt, the person in front of me was wondering what was i looking at... i was thinking lorh... sibuk je orang nie...

My destination today is Taman Maluri, to my aunt's house with my mum... lepak-lepak... gossip...the monthly forum... anyway, today i was able to fit in my skinny pants~ yey.. skinny for my size la... at last my 1 hour cycle everyday have payed it's price... + the no rice & no heavy food after 7 policy....hope i could maintain this when semester starts... suka-suka catering just doesn't cater a healthy living... I'm craving for broccoli...but the local minimarket have run out of it... maybe i'd make myself a tuna salad instead...

Still staring at the nick... there is nothing to talk about, might as well stop staring, or i'd suffer a chronic mindshift and start blabbering unnessarity facts... owh yeah. forgot to mention, i saw ridzal's cousin at cheer 06. i'm glad he was not there. but i wished someone else was there, it was foolish of me, shouldn't wish so...
