i should be the happiest person on planet earth but happy is the last thing that crossed my mind right now. haha, i sound so cheesy. wtheckk.

all plans to go to kak yui's wedding, to go to the family day to meet that abang cute (cousin of mine) all goneeee. all because of the truck loads of assignments, due rightttt after the mid term breaks. not fairrrr. i didnt get to go back last semester's mid term, and so does this sem.

so, guess what? im stuck here, in uitm perak, doing this drawing thingy til the end of time. adui. thank goddd mamayah post me something so very crucial at this point, broadband! hehe. ily mamayah. and its pink! i so freaking love ittt!

biarlah, so td went stroling the campus to give a rough tour to yasmin's new friend and we had quite a blast (ye la tu) but, this is all i can do through out the week. kill me please.

ps: kak yui tira wanyah ayaman, million sorry from the very bottom of my heart for not able to attend the wedding. i can already feel what im going to miss out for not coming to the wedding. SHEEEEEEP!!

SPA updates

regarding the project im working on, im having minor difficulties with it. see, im doing an english garden spa and i cant seem to have any reference til now. i've searched high and low at the library, no luck. all i can get is 3 books from the horticultural section. which was a help in a way, but still not enough. i've go to my friends, and well, asian spas is more of their flavour. and i called mama for help, to buy a few books on spa, so she called hani for help and what do u know, hani got THEE PERFECT BOOK. well, thats what she said. hehe. but please please please at least let it be almost thee perfect book. cause im sooo gonna need it.

im rooting for this book, this exact book ...

but whatever hani got for me, it's fine with me. :

its not like i dont want to look for the reference mysely, and get my tush to KL cos i so knowww there's a hell loads of SPA references there but i just cant find the time. yeap, always with the time.

lets just hope the book arrives before my assignment dues, and at the meantime, i should just live with my 3 horticultural books and find something helpful from it anddd prayyy that i can combine all of that element from the pic above to a DAY SPA. tiring? tell me about it.

ps: dont get me wrong, i AMMM excited about the whole spa thing, im just a little cranky about not getting to search for the reference myself, and the lack of sleep, of course :DD

Happy 2009

happy belated 2009 people.

i sorry about not posting anything for a decade now, but in my defense, i had so many things going on this semester break. i've finally moved to Shah Alam! yay. so, there's a lot of pack, unpack, loads and unloadings i've to go through and for now, i can actually say im sick of moving although that was my first time. hehe.

just imagine how we survived the whole weeks with no refrigerator. u should tryyy. not easy, haha. anyways, im back at uitm now and im a week behind every other students, since i skipped the whole first weeks to "run" the house while the parents gone for work. hehe

but Alhamdulillah, everything sails smoothly this week and i got two new lecturers, and theyre very nice people. haha. and oh yeah, fyi, we're doing SPA this semester. im pumped! hehe

eat your heart out

these days, i spent nearly most of my waking hours on the couch with the laptop cling to me almost 24/7. even so, i cant seem to update this blog with anything. its not like i have nothing going on these past few weeks, plus i've encounter many great sites to share with everyone else. i just cant seem to have the mood for it.

anywayss, i've just read my mails and there's one from en nizam (my lecturer) that really caught my eyes. he's truly a born designer, reflected in his email as well. his email always very design-ish. everything is always related to what he tought us and what inspires him. he sent me videos of phillip starck--very thoughtful. and one about a restaurant in Latvia, im not sure what is the name of the place but here's something for your eyes.

i say, the owners really has so much going on in his head, in a very creative way. check out the nurses who'll be serving u, a bunch of hot nurseses with red wigs on. thumbs up for you mister!

the bartender :D

Grilled New Zealand mussels in spicy tomato sauce

Beef carpaccio with the syringe and the pinset. i cant say its very tempting, but thats something new. hehe

ps: eating anything here sounds very fear factor-y to me. hee

source:encik nizam :DD

back to civilization

as i browse around the net looking for inspirations for the new home, i came across Co-housing Intentional Communities only to realise that how great idea this co housing is. this got me thinking why on earth the Malaysian government never would've thought of this before, or the developer or whoever which is concern.

Malaysian government has continuously instill the Malaysian with courtesy but not working so perfectly, im sure everybody is aware of this kan. haha, not to criticise the system but what the Malaysian really need is togetherness, dont u think?

so, the co-housing concept forms a close community of friends and caring neighbors, a safe, supportive environment where children, elders, and families of all types can live in an energy-efficient and Eco-friendly environment, sharing communal resources and facilities. i can just imagine myself living in this neighbourhood, listening to the birds chirping, with children running around the neighbourhood without even worrying about the possibilities to get knocked down by a car. this feelings is just wonderful.

these concept is very similar to how our grandpas and grandmas live yesteryear, and there is nothing wrong in bringing back the old days with a few drops of modernism to go along. I believe that people now are seeking for a friendlier, people-oriented way of living based on communities and pedestrian living with closer neighbours where they can chat with at tea. community spaces with open areas and parks - all connected by green pathways and biking trails. that is definitely one step to a happy community, dont u think?

ps: i would've bought one house for myself if there ever be a neighbourhood like this in malaysia.

curtain closed

finally, just what i needed, semester break. holidays! Alhamdulillah, the exam went well, at least, i think it went well. i really need a few days of sleeping without any disturbance cause these few weeks my sleeping habit kind of reversing. similar to jet -lag except that i did not went anywhere with time differences,so, u know what i mean kan.

and i need to plan my holidays so that everything i need to do will be done this holidays. with me moving in to the new house, my holidays gonna be really busy and messy. but, i just cant wait to move out, sumpah seronok.

ps:im sooo going to missed de jamboree, but hopefully my holidays is great enough to top de jam off.

oh yeah, im home now :D

break me

After my English paper, I have a super long break, an 8 freaking days to anything but study. So what a better way to fill that 8 days? do u have to ask? haha

We ‘accidentally’ went to Ipoh on the Monday because the salon we intended to go was closed that day, so that practically an ‘accident’. An accident worth getting (was that even the right words, idk)

The next day only we went to the salon. I got myself a hair treatment, which was so relaxing and I don’t even have to pay so much money on it, compared to in KL, obviously kan.

The rest of the week, I stayed in watching movies, movies and movies! Really, I’ve watched like 13 freaking movies and one japan series already by now, in a 1 freaking week. For me, that’s quite a record. Haha , I have to tell u this, that japan series I watched was HANA KIMI. Im so in loveee with this series because it had everything I see in everyday life. Sweet, fun and a little bit of sentimental value to it. Sumpah I cried like a baby, (even worse I think a) at the very end of the series. At the beginning I kept wondering when will this series ever ended, it felt like forever going to the end of it. When I finally come to the end of it, I really don’t want it to end.

In the series, I really love nakatsu, he’s the happy-go-lucky guy I’d ever see, and he’s hot too to top everything off. And also sekime, everyone keep on forgetting his name but obviously not me. How can I, with the hair like that, so cute! And of course, everyone’s gotta love nanba-senpai, the senior, head dorm and also a playboy, but he’s cute anyway, wthellll kan. Oh and sano pun okayy la. Hehe. I can talk about them and never shut my mouth ever again if I don’t stop now. Ok stop, shut. :D

So, u should should should must must must watch hana kimi. Its like theee best Japanese series I’ve watched, like everrr, so far. Okay I should shut up now.

Til then, pray for my next paper okay, its on the nov 10th, and the last paper is on the 16th and then im coming home baby. Hehe.

Ps: my dear lecturer, puan suzy has successfully delivered a baby boy named Iman Danial. Its their (en. Nizam & pn Suzy’s) first baby. I just wanted to congratulate them on their welcoming of the newborn baby, may Allah bless your family en nizam.

im counting the days people..

these are the hardest time of the year, examinations week. but whats makes the week easier is always the family. i have always had mamayah's prayers, hani and adik(who wishes me "4 flat along!") which is cute. im trying to live up to that, but i dont think i will go near to that number 4.

to what is worth, i really think i did my best and i really hoped that i'll cheer the family back home with my results again. because the reaction i get from them, 2 semester in a row, i cant really describe in a words. i just love the look they gave me. i want that look all the way until i graduate for my diploma. InsyaAllah. and everything wouldnt happened if it werent for Allah, and because of the family really believed in me and dearest lecturers. i couldnt thank them enough.

gosh, this gets really emotional, hehe

anywayss, i wanna wish

hani - best of luck for ur coming spm, i know u can beat me.

adik - i know u already got that 1A for agama, tambah lagi.

and thanks mamayah for everything!

and all the friends who'll be taking exams this year. ttyl

ps: tak sabar nak pindah,yayyy

heyyy

we're so sakai, we dont care :)

long time no write kann? im sure you would have known why kan? going to the 2nd year is harder than i thought it would be. you have to be really, i mean realllly really ready then only the lecturers will release (is that the word?) you to the 2nd year.

honestly. i myself dont really think im up to that standard, yet. and i dont even think im gonna top my previous semester's pointer this semester. when i looked at the previous seniors works, lecturer's work, i swear im so scared, i can even die that second. their drawings took my breath away, like sumpah kot. and it got me thinking again on me taking this ID thingy.

dont get me wrong, i love ID, its just that im afraid that im not good enough to be a designer. help?

BUT, tak la sampai nak quit kan. haha

ps: i missed blogging so much. wait til the holidays, i blog gila2 kot.

pps: through out next month i'll be sitting for my finals, wish me the best guys, love ya

BALIK KAMPUNG!

and on the 2nd raya we'll be leaving to KL, ayah's side. seronok!

ps: raya is like, theee best time of the year, like ever!

this just in!

thats aizat, the konon-diva one, with me and yasmin(far left)

hi again. i just finished my apartment project and Alhamdulillah, it went well. yeah, not my best work yet but im just gladdd it ended. so, last wednesday the whole part 2 went to KL, pavillion and sunway tobe exact and boyyy it sure an exhausting trip. but i enjoyed the trip so much that i didnt actually sleep throughout the journey. this sure is better from the one i had last semester, dont ask.

ok so, just yesterday we had a brief on our last project which is a kiosk. not really a surprise for me since i've known abt it all along. i got a 3 new faces in my group for this project and i love them already. i just cant wait to start this project and we got all giddy just to mention about it. haha, except for azhari, he's the control/cool/macho one, but i know he's excited deep down inside. haha, righttt

so, i'll post more abt it next time. if, i have the time. :)

ps: Selamat Menyambut Hari Kemerdekaan to all Malaysians!

ttyl

longgg month.

yea, the title kinda speaks for me. u and i know that semester 2 would be a whole lot different, very busy+++ (and very tough too!) and so, not posting anything for nearly a month should not be a question. hehe

nvm, im here now. i havent come back home since the registration, it feels like forever. so now that im home, im going to spend every second IN it. there's nothing much change here, except that my cat has a pair of cute bells around her neck now. and its like sooo cute watching her run down the stairs with that cute noise the bells make. hehe

ok, back to work. we are assigned with new project last 2 weeks. its an individual project of course. we're suppose to design the interior of an apartment for a pretty complcated family. the husband is a very religious 55 y.o senior citizen, the wife is a 34 y.o XXXXXL size model who is VERY obsessed with exercising, the daughter is 18 and seems to be the only normal person in the house. so, the design have to meet certain requirements such as the traffic flows of the house should be very well revised since the wife is very F. this, makes everything more difficult and complicated as it already does. u have to confirmed abt the dimensions with the lecturer, u got to have ur time saver with u 24/7, and the most important thing is that u have to stay W I D E awake throughout the projects. so much to do, so little time.

thats basically what im doing right now. u know how i love to blog kan? but busy sikit kot skrg. i'll post something next time. i promise.

ttyl.

ps: its my 1-week mid term breaks now, but i dont feel like it. im only back home for a few days. this monday i'll be going back to perak. haish

birthday wishes

i turn 19 today! yay, im old. hmph.


how worse can my birthday gets? i cant even get to celebrate my 19th birthday, the last 'teen' of my age with my family and friends. and im now stuck to my laptop, and going to the cc which is milessss away from the university, doing this toilet asgmnt. how niceeee. best birthday ever kot. ugh

i miss the family.and the cat.

who would have thought

guess what im doing for the first project?

you got that right! toilets! what a wayyy to start a new semester, haha

and i've been in and out from the uitm for the billionth time already now to do a research on toilets and i gotta say, i dont need to see any toilets anymore for a reeeeeeeally reeeeally long time. i think i've seen enough toilets to last me a lifetime, hehe

sorry

diana, i've read your post about the ungrateful friend which i knowww you are totally referring to me. yeah, i cant blame u for saying all those things. and im so sorry for not keeping in touch, for not keeping promises and for making you feel all those things you're feeling towards me. it just that, i dont planned all those things, yeah, its a tad cliche for me to give this reasons but its true.

and that night when we were suppose to chat together, my msn cant seem to work properly and my internet is just as bad. i dont believe in coincidence u know, but shit happens. u can think whatever you want about me, but to make u feel like a total idiot and push u aside was never my intentions. really, and i definitely "terasa pedasnya" when i read that post cos i know thats me you were talking all along.

but at the end of the day, its u who make the choice to still talk to this ungrateful friend of yours, i totally understand.

im here

already, back in uitm perak. wait for the series of sleepless night, againnnnn.

ps: my new room suck! my locker cant even hold half of my things, so u go figure. ugh.

ttyl

bye bye

it's that time again. im going to perak for my second semester. saying good byes to the family, the cat, the house. who would've thought its 2 months already. how time flies when you're having fun. so i guess, i blog again when i got the time okay?

now offfff to perak, again. hmmphh.

i hate going away from the family. haihh.

diner & drive thru

i came across a few great diners and drive thrus, and i thought i should just post it here. and it kept me thinking why cant malaysia have all this kind of diner. the small-and-scattered-all-over-the-town kind of diner. cos i think its very convenient and definitely low cost(i think) and i sooo think any restaurant owner could afford it. plus, they're super cute! they can be a new attraction as i dont think any malaysian have ever tried the attempt on opening this kind of diner here, so.
