2010-07-14T18:35:00.001+08:00

I dream to travel the world and take pictures of the various cultures and write about them. I dream to write a full length novel and have it published, and people to read it. I dream to have my photographs exhibited for people to see it. I dream.. that this will all happen.

4. Must know how to counter my cynical and sarcastic remarks. Lameness does not count. -.-
5. Must be able to handle my craziness. Seriously.

Conform or Deviate?

2010-04-24T21:34:00.001+08:00

I prefer to deviate. When you conform, you get a boring piece of human. To deviate, you need spunk and dare to go against what's supposed to be, and that makes a person more interesting, yeah! 8D

Ask me anything. Don't worry, I don't bite. Mostly.

2D or 3D? XD

2010-04-22T11:47:00.001+08:00

Depends on what. Playing 3d games, yes. 2d is slightly boring ahhh. X: Making 3d, I'd rather die. 2d is easier. Movies, 2d plz. The 3d glasses are so irritating to wear over specs.

School's starting next week and I'm sporting a fever. But I've no time to rest. Tomorrow's driving is at 9.50am - 11.30am and gym is at 1, probably I'll leave at 3. I was thinking of doing more baking tomorrow, for my brother's birthday party on Saturday. And once Saturday arrives, it's only one more week till my father reaches home, and then it's my TP! D: Hopefully, I'll be able to pass in one try. Inshaallah.

I love my timetable for school. Monday, 9am-10am MLP, 10-11 FYP Meeting with TBY. Tuesday no classes. Wednesday 9am-10am MLP. Thursday 9am-12nn ECI. Friday no classes. WOOOHOOOO~~~

Okay, actually I should be reading up on the local database in Adobe Air for FYP right now, but damn, it was boring. X: But then, I'll have to read it sooner or later anyway. Sooner, better than later.

Unmistakable lyrics

Anytime, anywhere, anyplace
You could be anyone today
Maybe I would recognize you On a crowded street

Maybe you'll take me by surprise
Will you be the one I had in mind

There'll come a day
When you'll walk out of my dreams
Face to face
Like I'm imagining
Baby how can I be sure
That you're the one I'm waiting for
Will you be unmistakable

Unmistakable

People say we're watching our lives
Through a glass
Desperately waiting on a chance
I know you're out there
Holding on, holding out for me

How are we to know the time is right
What if you're here and I'm just blind

There'll come a day
When you'll walk out of my dreams
Face to face
Like I'm imagining
Baby how can I be sure
That you're the one I'm waiting for
Will you be unmistakable

How can I know a song I never heard
How will I know your voice
When you haven't said a word

How do I know how this will end
Before we begin

Before we begin

There'll come a day
When you walk out of my dreams

Face to face (face to face)
Like I'm imagining (Like I'm imagining)
Baby, how can I be sure (how can I be sure)
That you're the one I'm waiting for (You're the one I'm waiting for)
Will you be (will you be)
Will you be (will you be)

Unmistakable
Unmistakable

And I'm still not done yet. Sigh.

2009-12-24T23:40:00.002+08:00

I know you're upset, and I might seem a little cold not to care, but I just want you to know that I do, alright. Sorry, but I'm not the kind to really show these kind of emotions. That's why I keep saying I'm not a people person... I totally suck in interaction. Haha...

So cheer up okay? A decision has been made, a choice taken. Go forward, but remember, sometimes you have to take two steps back to go one step ahead. Never give up alright. Don't ruin your christmas, smile okay!

Merry Christmas, all! Toodles!

2009-12-03T22:44:00.002+08:00

If you hadn't noticed, I'm a person who keeps more to myself than to open up to others. It's rather hard for me to talk to even one person, which is why I have one-sided conversations to the wall. It does help. Really. At least it's a way not to keep it all inside. At least when talking to the wall, it won't interrupt you or have any weird thoughts after you're done talking. >_>

Okay back to drawing. Toodles.

After all that, I didn't want to say it in public.

After all that, I didn't want this to escalate any further.

After all that, I... don't think... sigh. Nevermind it all.

Just... go back to whatever you do best alright. I know I might be a selfish, stubborn bitch, but at least I like myself for who I am. I don't really give a damn anymore.

Urghh..

2009-11-22T09:31:00.002+08:00

AFA day 1 was yesterday, I went only for 2 hours+. Couldn't take it. Too many people, too many rude photogs. Managed to snag a few pictures of Kaname, heh. Didn't stay for the concert though. They're clever. The black cloth doesn't let the sound out. -.-

Today, PUB family day and after that is AFA day 2. BUYING DAY! 8D Yesterday I was walking around, thinking of what to buy. Today, will buy. wheee~ Hoping to get more pictures around. Too bad will miss Kaname's panel. =/ But then again, going for the Luge will make a good substitute. (Y)

And, of course, not to mention I'm sick and have assignments due next week... URGH.

~~Just let me tell you something. You don't know me, so don't act like you do, asshole.~~

Toodles!

Of late night convos.

2009-11-09T03:29:00.002+08:00

You know what's the best thing about late night conversations? It's so random because both of us are half-asleep, but not sleepy enough to sleep yet. And that's the exact same reason I'm still here, typing this away at 3.30 in the morning. But, I digress. Anyway, the weird conversation I had tonight was well... weird. Something private between the two of us, but still, weird, and fun at the same time, I don't deny that. But I think when you're in class tomorrow and check your chat history, I think you're going to end up almost spitting that soya bean drink you have every morning all over your laptop. Sorry, but I guess I'm more awake than you, and as much as I enjoyed it, no thanks. HAHAHAHAHA. And as I promised, go to sleep! XP

Okay, randomness in the morning. Too early in the morning, I have to say.

Toodles!

Day 1, Sem 2, Year 2.

2009-10-19T22:32:00.002+08:00

Today was a bit boring, but rather crazy. Well, with my class, crazy is what you get, and I'm seriously loving every minute of it! 8D It started out with SMT, and during the break, we did a flashmob outside the year 1 deae class and shouted Happy Birthday! to Leon. A little unbelievable, but still fun, and funny! ahaha.

And as they say, the rest is history. I'm still doing my prototype. D:

TOODLES!

Well, oh no.

2009-10-16T09:25:00.002+08:00

Just so you know, I HAVE been back since the 8th of October. It's just that I'm lazy to update my blog. HEH. I have yet to process most of the pictures from the trip because I've been chionging my assignments, and then there's the class chalet too... I've been rather busy actually. Haha. I've finally finished my WAD assignment, but there's still one more part I need to ask about, but that one can be done in school. I have to start on my IDD prototype first, so that it won't be a late submission. I've had it with late submissions man. D8< Oh and not to mention I have to freaking rush my 30 ideas!!! Someone kill me for procrastinating!! D8<

Alright people. I have to get back to work now. Have a fun day aite. Toodles!

I'm off to china!

2009-10-01T01:27:00.002+08:00

Alright, alright I know I haven't been updating this for quite sometime. Life has been rather... mundane, I have to say. Except for the Hari Raya part, which now I'm too tired to elaborate, pictures will explain if you are a contact on my facebook, and if you actually DO look through my albums anyway. But if you would rather read all about my hari raya, well, I'm sorry but you'll be disappointed at my laziness to type it all out. Besides, I don't need stalkers, do I? hahaha.

Anyway, I'll be off for one week, so don't expect a call or message from me during this period, because one, I won't feel like wasting my money with all the overseas charges, and two, I highly doubt that I'll get good reception (with the lousy phone I have... >_>) up in the more rural areas of China. Unless of course they're quite important, I simply reject the call or leave the message to rot in my inbox.

Hopefully, I'll be able to write on the journey, of both fiction and non-fiction. It does seem that I'll get a little bored along the way with simply photography to do. I have never been one to do one thing too enthusiastically over a period of time. I AM looking forward to the scenery there though, and trying out different methods of photography. I do hope to create journal entries of the trip to correspond with the pictures I'll be taking.

Of course, I'm not leaving without a book or two. I'm still packing now because I was too busy finishing off Voice of the Gods by Trudi Canavan. I know I could have brought the book along with me, but I don't think I want to carry along a hardcover book. They ARE heavier, you know. And so yes, I'm bringing along in my bag The Lemon Tree by Sandy Tolan and Wormwood by G.P. Taylor. Hopefully I'd have finished reading them by the time I come home. Apparently they've been rotting away in the library(the one in my house..), untouched by the occupants of the house. And so I decided to bring them along, for entertainment when my Zen cannot do the job.

And now I believe that I should return to my packing... lest I forget anything. Toodles!

And of course, a VERY late Selamat Hari Raya to all! :D

2009-09-01T07:35:00.002+08:00

I have to say that I'm rather disappointed that we didn't get to display our artworks that has been mounted nicely. I still say that Leon and Sharlin should take out those blue boards again and put up our photographs. Guarantee that it won't fall! XD

Oh, but the load from my shoulders have really been lifted when I walked out of the exam room. Felt so good to have finished half of my second year of Poly. And the fact that I won't be taking DBMS again, ooh it sends delightful shivers down my spine. 8D

Went out with half of 2a01 yesterday to IMM for buka. Ate at Spagetti Too, and no that's not a misspell on my part lol. I must've looked retarded holding my mp3 up in one hand and the other hand with my earphone to my ear listening for the Bang. I think Syikin has a picture of it. Food there's quite nice, but the kurma was a 1:1 scale of the picture. And that's TINY. >_> Oh well. Better than none. Ahahaha.

Walked around Daiso for a while and then went back. I think I was really half deaf after reaching home. Seriously. AAAARRRGGGHHHHHH. Wait until graduation I tell you! GRADUATION!!! Sabar... Sabar... D<

TOODLES.

da dum... da dum.. da dum... deeeeeeeng!

2009-08-30T13:28:00.002+08:00

Randomness. Seriously. Why? Because I'm sleepy. The reason to that is... DEAE. D< I spent the whole night sorting out the pictures and looking for the RAW files for my pictures. Oh and not to mention putting the photo journal into powerpoint and all.

And the result? Working through Sahur (of course I ate!) and sleeping at 7am. I woke up at 12.30pm just now, and wanted to go back to sleep but nooooooooooo.... my traitorous brain was screaming out to me "GO STUDY FOR DBMS LAAAA!!!" Which is why I'm awake right now instead of sleeping my ass off until 2pm, which actually was my original intention. And I'm online instead of studying. Yeay me! >_>

Alright then. I'm off to bathe and start studying in this weather that's so perfect for sleeping.

Toodles!

Just wait. And see.

When all you have is anger and misunderstanding, patience and perseverance is highly important.

Patience, Perseverance, and Prayer

By Huda, About.com

During times of deep trial, despair, and sadness, Muslims seek comfort and guidance in the words of Allah in the Qur'an. Allah reminds us that all people will be tried and tested in life, and calls upon Muslims to bear these trials with "patient perseverance and prayer." Indeed, Allah reminds us that many people before us have suffered and had their faith tested; so too will we be tried and tested in this life.

There are dozens upon dozens of verses that remind Muslims to be patient and trust in Allah during these times of trial. Among them:

"Seek Allah's help with patient perseverance and prayer. It is indeed hard except for those who are humble." (2:45)

"Oh you who believe! Seek help with patient perseverance and prayer, for God is with those who patiently persevere." (2:153)

"Be sure We shall test you with something of fear and hunger, some loss in goods, lives, and the fruits of your toil. But give glad tidings to those who patiently persevere. Those who say, when afflicted with calamity, 'To Allah we belong, and to Him is our return.' They are those on whom descend blessings from their Lord, and mercy. They are the ones who receive guidance." (2:155-157)

"Oh you who believe! Persevere in patience and constancy. Vie in such perseverance, strengthen each other, and be pious, that you may prosper." (3:200)

"And be steadfast in patience, for verily Allah will not suffer the reward of the righteous to perish." (11:115)

"Be patient, for your patience is with the help of Allah." (16:127)

"Patiently, then, persevere - for the Promise of Allah is true, and ask forgiveness for your faults, and celebrate the praises of your Lord in the evening and in the morning." (40:55)

"No one will be granted such goodness except those who exercise patience and self-restraint, none but persons of the greatest good fortune." (41:35)

"Verily man is in loss, except such as have faith, and do righteous deeds, and join together in the mutual enjoining of truth, and of patience and constancy." (103:2-3)

As Muslims, we should not let our emotions get the better of us. It is certainly difficult for a person to look at the tragedies of the world today and not feel helpless and sad. But believers are called to put their trust in their Lord, and not to fall into despair or hopelessness. We must continue to do what Allah has called us to do: put our trust in Him, perform good deeds, and stand as witnesses for justice and truth.

"It is not righteousness that you turn your faces towards East or West.
But it is righteousness to believe in Allah and the Last Day,
And the Angels, and the Book, and the Messengers;
To spend of your substance, out of love for Him,
For your kin, for orphans, for the needy,
for the wayfarer, for those who ask, and for the ransom of slaves;
To be steadfast in prayer
And give in charity;
To fulfill the contracts which you have made;
And to be firm and patient, in pain and adversity
And throughout all periods of panic.
Such are the people of truth, the God-fearing.
Qur'an 2:177

Verily, with every difficulty there is relief.
Verily, with every difficulty there is relief.
Qur'an 94:5-6

MEDICAL ASPECTS OF ISLAMIC FASTING

2009-08-17T17:43:00.001+08:00

As-Salāmu `Alaykum (السلام عليكم)

All Praise to ALLAH, the Lord Of The Creation, and countless greetings of peace and blessings upon the Noble Messenger of ALLAH,
the Last Prophet, our Master, – Prophet MOHAMMED

Health Concerns For BELIEVERS Contemporary Issues

(Shahid Athar , M. D.)

MEDICAL ASPETS OF ISLAMIC FASTING

There are over I billion Muslims in the world, including about 8 million in North America . The majority of them observe total fasting (no food or water) between dawn and sunset during the month of Ramadan. They do so not to lose weight or for any medical benefit, but because it is ordained in the Quran which says, "O you who believe! Fasting is prescribed to you, as it was prescribed for those before you so that you may (learn) self-restraine" (2:183).

According to Islamic Law, children below twelve, sick patients, travelers and women who are menstruating or nursing a baby are exempt from fasting. In addition to staying away from food or water for the whole day, they are asked to stay away from sex, smoking or misconduct during the time of the fast. In addition, they are encouraged to do more acts of piety: prayer, charity, or reading the Quran during this month.

Food is needed by the body to provide energy for immediate use. This is done by burning up carbohydrates, that is, sugar. Excess of carbohydrates which cannot be used are stored up as fat tissue in the muscles and as glycogen in the liver for future use. Insulin, a hormone from the pancreas, lowers blood sugar and diverts it to other forms of energy storage, that is, glycogen. To be effective, insulin has to be bound to binding sites called receptors. Obese people lack receptors. Therefore, they cannot utilize their insulin. This may lead to glucose intolerance.

When one fasts (or decreases carbohydrate intake drastically), it lowers one's blood glucose and insulin level. This causes a breakdown of glycogen from the liver to provide glucose for energy needs and break-down of fat from adipose tissue to provide for energy needs. On the basis of human physiology described above, semi-starvation (ketogenic diets) have been devised for effective weight control. These diets provide a calculated amount of protein in divided doses with plenty of water, multivitamins, etc. These effectively lower weight and blood sugar, but because of their side effects, should be used only under the supervision of physicians.

Total fasting reduces or eliminates hunger and causes rapid weight loss. In 1975, Allan Cott in his Fasting as a Way of Life, noted, "Fasting brings a wholesome physiological rest for the digestive tract and central nervous system and normalizes metabolism." It must be pointed out, however, that there are also many adverse effects of total fasting. That includes hypokalemia and cardiac arrhythmia associated with low calorie starvation diets used in unsupervised programs.

STUDIES ON ISLAMIC FASTING

Dr. Soliman from University Hospital , Amman , Jordan has reported that during the month of Ramadan 1404 AH (June-July, 1984 AD) healthy Muslim volunteers@2 males and 26 females ranging in age from 15-64 and 16-28 years respectively-were studied. They were weighed and their blood levels of cortisol, testosterone, Na, K, urea, glucose, total cholesterol, high density lipoprotein (HDL), low density lipoprotein (LDL), triglycerides (TG) and serum osmolality were measured at the beginning and at the end of Ramadan. There was significant loss of weight in males from a mean of 73.8 +/-6.2 kg to 72.0 +/-7.1 kg (P less than 0.01) and in females from 55.2 +/-4.8 to 54.6 +/-4.2 kg (P less than 0.05). Blood glucose levels rose in males from 77.7 +/-23.6 mg/dl to 90.2 +/31.2 mg/dl (P less than 0.05) and in females from 76.0 +/-7.6 mg/dl to 84.5 +/-11.1 mg/di (P less than 0.002). All other parameters did not show significant changes.

Dr. F. Azizi and his associates from the University of Medical Sciences , Tehran , Iran has reported the following. Serum levels of glucose, bilirubin, calcium, phosphorus, protein, albumin, FSH, LH, testosterone, prolactin, TSH, T4, T3, and T3 uptake, as well as prolactin and TSH responses to TRH were evaluated in a group of nine healthy men before and on the 10th, 20th, and 29th days of Ramadan. Mean body weight decreased from 65.4 +/- 9.1 to 61.6 +/- 9.0 kg at 29th day. Serum glucose decreased from 82 +/- 4 mg/dl on the 10th day, and increased thereafter (76 +/- 3 and 84 +/- 5 on the 20th and 29th days of fasting respectively). Serum bilirubin increased from 0.56 +/- 0.17 to 1 43 +/-.52 mg/dl on the 10th day, and decreased thereafter ( I. I. +/- 0.4 on the 20th and 29th days). All changes returned to basal values four weeks after fasting. There were no significant changes in serum levels of Ca, P. protein, albumin, and any of the measured hormones. Prolactin and TSH responses to TPH were also unaltered. He concluded that 1) intermittent abstinence from food and drink for 17 hours a day for 29 days does not alter male reproductive hormones, hypothalamic-pituitary- thyroid axis or peripheral metabolism of thyroid hormones and 2) physicians caring for Muslims should be aware of changes of glucose and bilirubin during Ramadan.

Therefore it is concluded from the above two studies that the pre- scribed fast does not cause any adverse medical effect and on the contrary, may have some beneficial effect on weight and lipid metabolism.
WHY ISLAMIC FASTING IS DIFFERENT FROM ORHER TYPES OF FASTING

The prescribed fast of Muslims is different from the so-called "Diet Plans" because it has beneficial features of both plans. Its unique medical benefits are due to the following factors:

1. As compared to other diet plans, fasting in Ramadan does not cause malnutrition or inadequate calorie intake since there is no restriction on the type or amount of food intake before beginning the fast or upon ending the fast at sunset. This was confirmed by M.M. Hussaini in 1974, when he conducted dietary analysis of Muslim students at the University of North Dakota , State University at Fargo during Ramadan. He concluded that calorie intake of Muslim students during fasting was at two-thirds of NCR-RDA.

2. Fasting in Ramadan is voluntarily undertaken. It is not a prescribed imposition from a physician. In the hypothalamus part of the brain there is a center called "lipostat" which controls the body mass. When severe and rapid weight loss is achieved by starvation diet, the center does not recognize this as normal and, therefore, reprograms itself to cause weight gain rapidly once the person goes off the starvation diet. So the only effective way of losing weight is slow, self-controlled, and gradual weight loss which can be achieved by modifying our behavior and changing our attitude about eating especially by eliminating excess food. Ramadan is a month of self-regulation and self-training in terms of food intake thereby causing hopefully, a permanent change in lipostat reading.

3. With the prescribed fast, Muslims are not subjected to a diet of selective food only (i.e. protein only, fruits only etc.). An early breakfast, before dawn is taken and then at sunset the fast is broken with something sweet i.e. dates, fruits, juices to offset any hypoglycemia followed by a regular dinner later on.

4. Additional prayers are prescribed after dinner which help metabolize the food. Using a calorie counter, I counted the amount of calories burnt during the special night prayer of Ramadan (tarawih). It amounted to 200 calories. This form of prayer as well as the five daily prescribed prayers use all the muscles and joints and can be considered a mild form of exercise in terms of calorie output.

5. Ramadan fasting is actually an exercise in self discipline. For those who are chain smokers or who nibble food constantly, or drink coffee every hour, it is a good way to break the habit
.
6. The psychological effect of Ramadan fasting are also well observed by the description of people who fast. They describe a feeling of inner peace and tranquility. The prophet advised those fasting, "If one slanders you or aggresses against you, tell him 'I am fasting."' Thus personal hostility during the month is minimal. The crime rate in Muslim countries falls during this month.
It is my experience that within the first few days of Ramadan, I begin to feel better even before losing a single pound. I work more and pray more. My physical stamina and mental alertness improve. As I have my own lab in the office, I usually check my chemistry, that is, blood glucose, cholesterol, and triglyceride before the commencement of Ramadan and at its end. I note marked improvement at the end. As I am not overweight, thank God, weight loss is minimal. The few pounds I lose, I regain soon after. Fasting in Ramadan will be a great blessing for the overweight whether with or without mild diabetes (Type 11). It benefits those also who are given to smoking or nibbling. They can rid themselves of these addictions in this month.

What do I want to write about?

2009-07-29T21:43:00.004+08:00

I know I haven't updated for a while. I know but I just don't do anything about it, so yeah. X:

But then, what do I want to say? I have no idea. I'm just typing whatever that's coming to mind right now. Do I want to tell you about the hike up Bukit Batok Nature Park? I don't know. I just don't feel like telling it again and again. Told it too many times when I was complaining, but now... it doesn't really matter anymore, does it.

Ahah! I know. Let me tell you about my idea for Comm Skills Presentation assesment. hahaha. I want to do a speech on the impact of words. The way simple words can affect how a person can feel. How words can stab you through the heart, and how words can heal another. How words can be probably the person's strongest weapon. I guess this time I should conclude properly. Perhaps I should end with a warning, to be sure to choose the words correctly before opening your mouth.

Well, that's just the main idea. I still need to get the skeleton up and all. Hmm. Oh yes. One of my pictures I submitted for the SP photo contest got shortlisted. heehee. But I need to submit 50 words on it... and I don't know what to write. Dammit. Oh well. I guess it'll come to me... soon... hopefully.

And that's an update! XD

TOODLES!

Oh My god...

2009-07-13T00:16:00.004+08:00

2009-07-08T08:55:00.002+08:00

Really been quite a while since I've updated this blog. X: Sorry, but I just didn't feel like writing anything down for the public. But then again, it's not like people read this blog eh? HAHAHA.

Anyways. I've been sick these past few days. Nothing new... my immunity has always been low anyway. >_> <_< And better, my antibiotics are really strong, so my hands are shivering while typing this away. Not to mention, the aircon is cold. -.-

Was on MC yesterday, and had MC for monday too, for the DBMS class that I couldn't go for because my temperature was too high. ._____.|| And I don't think I should be in school today... I'm totally unfocused because of my meds... but then again, I have no LOA or MC anymore to cover me for today, so I just came. Sorry in advance if I infect anyone. X;

I. Am. So. Not. Listening. In. Class. I'm zoning out actually. X:

Okay. Toodles!

London!

2009-06-13T14:10:00.002+08:00

Alright, I've been lazy on updating my blog, even though it's accessible to me and all, I know. HEH.

The time difference here is a little crazy, so when I'm online, not alot of people are... 7 hours difference! DDDD: But it's still very fun and exciting here anyway.

Summer's coming, but it's still cold. Hmmm. Wearing a jacket out, bringing my shawl in case it rains is already a routine. And it gets colder at night too, but night-time is very limited here, so that's kinda a good thing. Now, let me just briefly tell you what I've been up to these few days. Hahaa.

Day 1.

The airport was so packed!! Took around 45 mins just to get past the immigration. ~_~ But after dumping our bags at the hotel, went out again to see the changing of the guards. Took a while before we found a spot that's easym. to see, me being so short and all... >_> <_< But we still managed to catch the ending, so yeh. :P After that went through Green Park and rode to bus to get FOOD. Where did we go? BOND STREET. HAHAHAHA. Oh, and we went through Picadilly Circus too. After that, checked into the hotel, and I fell asleep, all through the night. D: Jet lag kills me.

Day 2.

Madame Tussaud's and Sherlock Holmes Museum in the morning. Wanted to run away with Johnny Depp, but he's rather big, and I think people would notice. XD But I hugged him so yeh. \m/^.~\m/ And too bad, no one wanted to take a picture with Bush. HAHAHAHA. After that, went off to the London Eye. It's freaking high, okay. And the River bloody Thames is right under us! YES, it's built over the river!! DD: With that over and done with, my mum and dad went off to Wembley Stadium to watch, what else?, Soccer! England versus some other country I forgot which. 6-0. LOL. Okay. Shouldn't laugh. X: Me and my sis? WEnt back to hotel, lepak. HAHAHA.

Day 3.

Bath, Windsor and Stonehenge. Long rides out to the country, but damn, it was beautiful! I want to live in the English countryside for a week plz. HAHAHA. Windsor Castle is HUGE. Really. Huge. But the armoury is so <3!! Bath is an interesting place, it's a city here. And we went to the Roman Bath. Inside they told us about roman mythology and how they lived. Interesting, but too bad we couldn't touch the water. D: And stonehenge... is smaller than I thought. HAHAHAHA. X:

Day 4.

Yesterday~ *clears throat* The London Dungeon! Wasn't very scary actually. HAHAHA. And after that went to the Tower Bridge, where the lifts were under maintenance and we had to climb 206 steps UP just to get to the exhibition area. -.- Bloody high la okay! And to make things worse, SOME WERE SPIRAL STEPS. (^&#!%$ Trafalgar Square came after that, and I managed to climb that bloody high square! Of course, with help. HAHAHA. And then it was back to the hotel.

Day 5.

Today. Woke up at 5.20am. LOL. And don't worry, it was already sun up. >-> <-< And up till now, I've not bathed yet. HAHAHA. Okay. Gotta go. Later checking out. D:

TOODLES!

Siti Discovered About Love & Life via Day of Birth!
Story about Siti's Love & Life! are :

You were born on 9th day of June 1991, Sunday.

Your Life : You often have problem in promoting yourself, just because you don't know how to express your true self. On the other hand, you don't really care what they think. This is why people misunderstand you until they really get a chance to learn about your pleasant personality. Opposite sex find you mysterious and worth searching. Your wit is remarkable but sometimes you are too fast to follow.

Your Love : You won't reveal your feeling even after dreaming about the same guy over and over. Your first love lasts forever. You are responsible to the feeling of your lover. The chance to betray your lover is none. You have luck with children.

:D Toodles~

Share.

2009-05-25T22:23:00.003+08:00

If you have goofbumps, does that make you goofy? xD

Critique session went quite well today. After getting the comments, I spent the rest of the class, where I freeloaded, to edit the pictures accordingly. I also added in more pictures after editing them ever so slightly. Why slightly? Because Sharlin told me I was doing too much post-processing, so I decided to keep it simple, and just push up the contrast or correct the exposure. I don't really enjoy doing post anyway. I prefer to keep the pictures as they were taken. =| I'm going to post the pics up on facebook soon, so yeah. Go on and look! XD And don't forget to give your comments~ :P

TOODLES~

And the dish ran away with the spoon.

I'm a wee late, but happy birthday vivaaaa~ He's OLDDDD. Along with sooo many other dimwits. >D

I promised him an ice cream treat, but it became a cake treat. hahaa. We were hungry, so instead of eating at Swensens (FREAKING EXPENSIVE LA OKAY.), we went to Delifrance. It was only $5.90 for a student meal, so I guess it was okay. It did taste nice, but it was VERY VERY tiny. =.= I ordered the Special Beef Patty Steak... and seriously, it wasn't filling at all. =/ I'm STILL hungry okay. zzzz. Siti joined us soon after, and we had desserts~ Creme Brule for me, some thing with an A La Banane in its name for Siti, and the chocolate fondue cake for Viva! Enjoyed my creme brule. heh. It's been a while since I've had it, too bad I missed out on my ice cream. Been craving it for the whole week. XD Viva had to rush off home, so we went off too. Took some pics on the way home, and so now here I am. More than 6 hours after, then I report it all. HAHAHA. Couldn't help it. I fell asleep! D:

Okay. Back to ER. XD And then sleep.

Shamz's 18th

2009-05-10T23:44:00.002+08:00

Yessah, my girlfriend is old. HAHAHAHA. Went out today with my babes, and since it rained this morning (MAIRAAAA!!! D<), we couldn't go to the botanical garden... D: So instead, after ~~dumping~~ giving the presents to her, we decided on going to T3. Took the bus, the girls found out something about meeeeee! D8 Bought food from popeyes, and then we went to the tree top, at the viewing gallery and went to the corner to eat. I got my mashed potatoes~ and took aloooot of unglam pics of them. :P Got bored after a while, and went down to take more pics, before going to Suntec to get some B&J... BUT THERE'S NO MOREEEEEEE! DDDDD; So we kinda settled on Coffee Bean. Managed to get a candle for shamz's cake, and I just noticed we didn't get a picture of it! Aww... Managed to get alot of pictures outside, at the top of the fountain of wealth! Jumpshots! :D There were so many test shots though. And only two perfect ones. XD We were getting stared at, but none of us cared uh. hahaha. Camwhored on the way back too... on the train. It wasn't as packed as we thought it would be... o.0! No idea why. hahaha.

I know I summarized EVERYTHING, but I'm just too tired to write it all down. D: I'll post some of the pictures up once I get everything in order. Too many pics. hahaa. And sorry girls, my photo printer's in UAE... D: so if you want the pics, you're gonna have to wait until I come back from London! XD

K. Just so you know, I'm skipping DBMS tomorrow. I can't stand her anymore la.

TOODLESSSS!

Ouch.

2009-05-04T22:02:00.002+08:00

My stomach hurts, there's temperature taking tomorrow, and I'VE NO THERMOMETER! DDD: I'd love to buy one from the office, but it's kinda far from T17... so on the way to school I'd just have to buy one, I guess. =/

Okay back to watching Wild Wild West. XD

Yes, I deleted the previous posts. I personally prefer to be a private person, so I wouldn't want to air my dirty laundry out in public. If you have something to say to me, you know how to reach me. And no, I didn't delete them because I'm taking my words back. I believe in what I said, and I believe you're half-witted if you think I was saying it without any backing. I can joke, I can laugh, and I know most of the time I talk with insults coming out of my mouth, but I usually don't mean them. They're usually as a joke. And when I'm totally pissed off with someone, don't worry, you'll know about it. And it'll come out in a totally different tone, so if you can't tell the difference, get a brain, or at least a tuning fork. Or even better, get a life.

And those who know what's going on, I'd be happy if you could just keep this to yourselves. And those who don't know what's going on, don't spare a thought to it. Ask me all you want, but I won't talk about it.

TOODLES.

Apologies to all.

2009-04-29T21:20:00.003+08:00

Okay, first things first.

I might have seem to have jumped on, but I've got nothing against you whatsoever, okay. My timing is just very very wrong. So, yeah. Sorry.

---

I've been having mood swings of late, and I've no idea why. I get heated up quite easily, and tend to snap at people. If I had done that to you, I'm sorry.

I don't know what's gotten into me, but I've been having bad timing, bad moods, and just... bad stuff happening to me. Seriously, what the hell?! Sigh. So, if I may seem a little off or what, try staying away from me okay? And if I may have offended you in saying the wrong things at the wrong time, I deeply apologize. I'm really sorry.

Laugh away!

Want want want! D8

2009-04-26T18:08:00.003+08:00

From 1030 to 1645, I resided myself in the Woodlands Library. It wasn't freezing at all, actually. And my butt hurt because I was seated on the floor from 1030 to around 1330. =__= Should bring a cushion next time. Hmph. After that I moved from the reference section to Cafe Galilee due to hunger. XD And after a while... due to the lack of powerpoints at cafe galilee, the computer battery was drained... and I was forced to do the designs for IDD. D:

Ideas, ideas. hmmm. I've just got too many in my head, and I've been true to penning them (well, literally typing actually) down. Which is why...

Anathema of Time
A Poem by Alasse Fefalas

Yes, it's another poem. But this one had a motive behind it, unlike the rest. How unusual. I had a whole chunk of time during the holidays to write, but nothing comes. When I'm busy and all, suddenly all these ideas just come into mind. Irritating.

And, and, and ZOMG!!! EEZ WANT! SOMEONE BUY FOR ME? XD

FISHEYE CAMERA ZOMG!!

And of course CSI MIAMI Season 1, Season 2, Season 3, Season 4, Season 5! 8D I want to start with them first because it's my most favourite of all three. XD *hinthint for my birthday that's coming! XP*

Please? X3

TOODLES! :D

Well, hello.

2009-04-26T10:28:00.003+08:00

Although I may have been reduced to sitting on the floor because there are people who're more kiasu than me, my offer's still open. Anyone who wants to join me just come on over alright? The more the merrier. :D

I'm in the Woodlands Library, Reference Level, on the floor. XD

Hope to see you here? :P

TOODLES!

As we close week 1...

2009-04-26T00:34:00.003+08:00

It seems like as if week 1 flew by in a flash. Really, really fast flash. Because I don't really remember what happened. Seriously. ._. The only thing that's imprinted in my mind is the stupid "HALLO~?" from Mdm Quek. =_____=

So, I already have assignments up with deadlines fast approaching, therefore I'm going to Woodlands Library tomorrow, or you could say today. Though frankly, I'm not really sure WHAT I have to do, but all I know is that I have to do a banner and Ecard for the NDP website. Not to mention also getting up the script for the imaginecup by Monday to show to Leon and Sharlin. Sunny and I are trying something out, you'll have to wait to find out more. HAHAHAHA.

I have no idea what I want to do for the Ecard and banner. Seriously. I do have some ideas, but they're all very general and common and well... BLAND, so to speak. I'm aiming for something a little different, but not too abstract; something simple, but also unique. GOD, I'M PICKY. =____= Yes, I know. I admit it! D:

But I guess I'll just leave it all to tomorrow. I'm only going to the library is because it has AIRCON. I can actually do work at home, but it's just TOO HOT. And yes, I know if I go to the library it'll be too cold, but there's always my shawl, isn't there? heh heh. So does anyone want to join me? 8D I'll be there around 10.30, so if you just want to join me, by all means, CALL ME. I suppose you readers have my number, and for those who don't, well... WHO ARE YOU? D:

OH YES. And one last thing. I wrote another poem! 8D GOGOGOGO READ! 8D

Silent Soldier
A Poem by Alasse Fefalas

Alright. I suppose I should go to sleep now. TOODLES.

Decision?

2009-04-21T11:31:00.002+08:00

Second day of school, and I'm already about to fall asleep. My lecturer's so long winded I'm getting sleepy listening to her drone on and on and on... And later! ZOMG. The lecturer later speaks in past tense, which makes me just want to correct her every time she speaks, just like what I feel like doing for Leon, but have long managed to curb that desire. :P

Which brings me to the biggest problem now. Since I'm not listening in class, well, maybe HALF-LISTENING, I'm incredibly tempted to write another story. It's been nagging at me ever since I started reading the short stories by Anita Desai. The one I'm reading is titled "Diamond Dust", but she has many more books. I find her style of writing very interesting. She describes the littlest things, which may seem useless, or a little long winded, but to me, it dictates the signs - like for example the sun is setting, a new day is rising, a baby growing up. Maybe you should pick one up. Whether you like it or not is obviously up to you, but I'm just recommending.

So... should I write in class? Or try to listen? :P

TOODLESSSS.

Morning mayhem

2009-04-20T08:53:00.002+08:00

I woke up at 6 today... and kept resetting my alarm clock. XD So when my alarm rang at 8am, I jumped out of bed to bathe. And straight after that I switched on Kuroyan to see the results of the ImagineCup...

Congratulations! You have advanced to Round 2 of the Photography invitational.

WHEEEEE!!! I'M SO GONNA SCREAM AT LEON THAT LATER! HAHAHAHAHA!!

Okay, high already. XD TOODLESSSSS! I'm off to print my timetable~ :9

Weather...

2009-04-19T18:50:00.002+08:00

The weather has been blistering these few days, so I decided to cut my hair. Okay, a little no link, but it has certainly made my head lighter. XD The had three reasons to cut my hair:

1. It's been so damn hot, my hair had been getting annoying because it's ALOT, and it's long... So snip snip it goes!

2. School's starting tomorrow, so I should get my hair in check before someone really points out that it's growing out of control. D:

3. ... I was starting to look TOO MUCH like my sister. D: SO SNIP SNIP IT GOESSS!!! D:

And I think... if the barber had cut it shorter, I'd have a mullet. =_= I have small little antennas right now, though I hope they'll grow quickly. XD

And I think I should be ready for school... I THINK. Having gone to Cold Storage to get my supplies of cereal bars, courtesy of Bik Nana that I got addicted to them, for breakfast, and maybe lunch. Hmmm. Quaker ones says it contains traces of peanuts, so I'm not sure if I should offer Sunny.. hmmm... XD But the other one, the Suiss, is just fruits, no nuts, so I guess he can eat... but that still stands... on whether I should OFFER him or not... XD

And and and, dear readers, whoever reads this rotting blog of mine... I have yet again written another story! XD

More Than Words: Six Strings
A Story by Alasse Fefalas

AND I've FINALLY updated my devArt gallery, so I'm sorry if I had spammed your devWatch... D:

Okay. Toodles!

Next week.

2009-04-18T16:18:00.002+08:00

School starts next week, and though I look forward to the new ACADEMIC YEAR!, I also dread it. Haha. I have come to notice, with the absence of school, and people to actually talk (in person) to, my english has actually improved, to the extent of that during my sec 4 years. XD But with the new term, I fear my language will deteriorate again. HAHAHA.

I'm quite disappointed with myself. All that I thought I wanted to do during the holidays didn't quite happen. I didn't clean my room, didn't go swimming, didn't repair my bike... I'm quite a procrastinator, eh? HAHAHA~ I didn't even finish writing my chapter! D: I promise I'll get down to it... one day... D: Sigh. I know what's going to happen in the story, but I can't seem to find the correct words for it. =/ Oh well. I guess time will tell as to whether I'd be able to find the words. And I haven't even written a single poem this whole holiday either. Haven't been quite productive, have you, Yame? SIGH.

Well, at least one thing I got down to is playing my guitar. XD Since the first at the start of the week, I've been practising my guitar, so I've been able to move from a G to an Eminor, to a C, to a D. :DDD But my D going back to G is a little awkward though. Haven't quite gotten that yet. Oh well. Slow and steady... slow and steady. There's still 9 more weeks of guitar lessons to attend to, so I hope by the time I reach the 8th week I'll be able to play a song. HAHAHA! I'm looking forward to that! XD

So next week, I'll have to wake up early for school, take a bus and then a train. At least there'll be no more trek up the bloody hill anymore, because my classes are at T17 now; But a little regret though, is that while my classes are at T17, my locker is at T19. -____-;; Oh well. I guess it will help serve a purpose to store all clear folders and whatever mounting board inside for submission of assignments! XD Just... not so much for books anymore. What I lament is that there's no more good food that's just so near. Foodcourt 4 has a muslim food stall, but since it's Koufu and all, it's first and foremost more EXPENSIVE, and secondly, doesn't taste that appealingly. But I guess I'll have to put up with it for the next semester. Sigh.

A little update on my life too, hahaa. I've been sick. Yes, sick. AGAIN. RIGHT BEFORE SCHOOLS STARTS. DAMMIT. And my meds last up till Tuesday, so I hope when Wednesday comes, I can do my gym exercise properly again, without getting my heart too worked up by the medicine. Damn, those pills are strong. D: My coughing is at least getting less frequent, but it still hurts when I cough, so I hope it'll be better by the Monday morning. I don't want to go into class coughing like heck and all. =/ Because, you know me. I'd prefer to listen to the teacher when s/he is talking because I'm like a sponge. XD That's why I don't talk much in class. Which leads to the problem of my teachers thinking that I'm pretty quiet... which many would so disagree upon, right people? HAHAHA! I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE THINKING OKAY?! XD

But still, I'd welcome the new academic year with open arms, because I'd be able to get off my lazy arse and actually do some work. I'm pretty sure that I work best when under pressure, so yes, this might be a good distraction from boredom itself.

I just noticed I've been ranting. Wow. Okay. I shall not anymore.

TOODLES.

OUT!

2009-04-08T21:56:00.002+08:00

Somebody take my hand and drag me out of the house, PLEASE. I feel so cooped up in the house, but I don't feel like going out alone. A bit sad ah, so many people on holiday now, and then go out alone. -________-

Just got True Blood. It's quite interesting, if you take out the sex scenes and all la. hahaha.. I can't believe they're going to show it in Singapore man. o.O" I wonder how censored it will be.. hmmm...

Oh, CSI's started. XD Wednesday is CSI marathon day ma. :P

TOODLES!

Poooool.

2009-04-03T00:57:00.003+08:00

I'm glad to day that I won 3 games today. Heh.

Went to AMK this afternoon to play with Ashraf and Alvin. I think we played for... 3 hours? Haha... Quite long also. :9 Kept losing and losing and losing man. -_____- But at least didn't lose THAT badly. 2 or 3 balls left only. XD Not THAT badly la, okay? haha... After that lunch at KFC... and then home. Wheeee~ Might have sounded quite uneventful, but I had fun. :P

NIGHT!

I'm back!

2009-03-30T15:23:00.002+08:00

Yes, I'm finally back to blogging. I've been gone few a couple of weeks due to some things, and also for the fact that I've nothing to type on without revealing anything personal. Of course this is a personal blog, but it still can be read by everyone out there with an internet access. And those who know me would know that I'd rather keep personal things well... personal.

Anyway, I'm in the Yishun Library right now. And using their computer while waiting for 4 o'clock to go off to Bugis for gym... Why am I here? Because I just watched a movie with Viva and Sunny. The movie was good, although some parts got a little boring... but it was so funny to watch the two guys! One screamed and the other went through a whole segment of the movie with one eye covered. XD

"The Unborn" - Go watch it! But don't fall asleep... :P I found it interesting because it was more centered this time on Jewish Mythology and Folklore, something not really seen all the time. It was different, and although the way they show it is the same - girl gets haunted, friends killed blah blah blah - the plot behind it is quite intruiging. If you want to know more about it, just go watch la. :9

I still have a whole list of movies I want to watch! Race to Witch Mountain, MALL COP!, Watchmen... Anyone wants to go and watch with me? :9

There's still a while to go before school starts... and I'm free except maybe Mon, Wed and Fri evenings when I'll have gym... but before or after that I'm free! Come come come! Shall we have a date and watch movies? :3

TELL ME OKAY??!!

Toodles.

bye...

What the hell's YOUR problem?!

2009-03-13T01:00:00.003+08:00

First you stare at me, making me feel like I'm such a freak, then you start whispering to your friends about something, I ain't gonna speculate. And THEN you talk about me like as if not even there! What the hell? I know I PRETEND to be invisible, but it doesn't mean I am! I have eyes and ears, and if you want to talk bad about me, do it when I'm not fucking there! Then, when I POLITELY ask you to change the subject, you talk louder. Three times, I asked you. You kept giving me some bloody messed up attitude. And then you expect me to just take it and brush it all off, like you do? Don't joke with me. I'm not that kind of a fucking person. I don't take insults to myself, especially when you do it right in front of me! I'm not a coward. I don't put other people down just to feel good about myself. No, don't degrade me to that level, you ass. To YOUR level.

Sometimes, I wonder why I even associate myself with you! Okay, maybe once you were good, well, better. But things HAVE gone out of hand. Trust and understanding isn't some kind of full of shit game that you think it is. And for them all, I don't think I can give them to you anymore. Go on. Have your material friends. It's not like they give a piece of shit about you anyway.

Yes, I am fucking pissed. What happened today was totally fucked up, seriously. Yeah, we all make mistakes, but this time, you've really gone too far. I'm not going to take back whatever I said to you. That's all just between you and me, that's why I dragged you away, see. I can't take your kind of behaviour anymore. You give me attitude, expect me to return it to you.

Yeah, it's not like I don't have any manners. I DO. I practice them outside, to people who doesn't need to be told three or more times! How long have you known me, that first, I treat them politely, then if and when they DON'T deserve, I give them attitude. And that's the same thing I did to you.

But maybe a last request? I'll keep this to myself as long as you keep it to yours. What am I talking about. This kind of thing isn't your type is it? Well, you never did like to tell anyone else about yourself. Well then. Have fun with your life and your "friends". And seriously, I've got no more sympathy for you.

I've got nothing more to say, really. Go on, be the bitch you want to be. And don't come running back to me when it's all gone wrong. I've nothing left to give you. Wounds heal, but scars never disappear.

Would you be my american boy, american boy~? XD

2009-03-11T01:24:00.003+08:00

They say, when women say "Nothing", they mean something. And hell, that is true. When someone says "it's nothing", it means that he or she doesn't want to share it with you, or maybe anyone else for that matter. So layoff when I say nothing or say "nothing". End of discussion.

On a lighter note... I've volunteered for my first contribution to the SPP! LOL. Starts later... at 3pm. And after that going to catch a movie with maira. haha~ HOPEFULLY meeting up with sunny after that to discuss the ImagineCup, coz after that Leon's gonna fly off! D: RAWR!

And and and. I'd be VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY happy if someone gave me the CSI set DVDs for my birthday. HAHAHAHHA! XD

TOODLES!

What to doooo...?

2009-03-10T01:34:00.002+08:00

It feels like as if... everyone's so busy right now. =/ Me too actually... well... kinda. ~~Tomorrow~~ Later meet up with Leon about the idea without sunny coz he's busy and all... =/ and then gym at 1, after that meeting WT at 5 at carrefour, i'm not sure about YZ yet though I think I'll sms her ~~tomorrow~~ later, and then climb that freaking long set of stairs of doom to go to the grad show.

Wed and thursday I'm helping out with the SPP at the booth for the enrolment showcase at from 3-5pm on wed and 9-12 on thursday. First time helping out. hahaha...

And then friday... I'm not too sure really. Saturday is the YJC Values Day I think. Hmmm. I bought the ticket from Maira already... have to call her. Just for the heck of it. hahaha. I hope Shamz will be there toooo! Miss her lots. :( I wanna go watch a movie.. I've still those free tickets! XD

I mean hey, to shut us up because HE wants to make a phonecall IN CLASS? Isn't it just easier to step outside and do it? It's not like we're gonne kill each other in the few minutes he's gone. -.-

Anyway. I had actually planned to wake up early in the morning and study maths, but I overslept all the way to 12nn. X: So now my studying time has been cut short... D: Nevermind. Later got gym and all too, but tomorrow or thursday or friday can still study. heehee. Tomorrow WebP test... 3.30-5pm. Rawr. Go to school just for that. And on thursday, I was thinking of just skipping it entirely since I've already stitched them up. All I need to do now is to add sound effects and find that stupid carnival sound that's been haunting me. D:

Maths, maths, maths. Someone want to help me? D:

LIEK OMG I FINALLY FINISHED RENDERING!!!

What happened? The first time I rendered at the library, I found out the production quality renders were brighter than the lower quality ones, so I had to tweak the colours a little. After that, I rendered again. 3 cameras, well, I THOUGHT it was three cameras. Oh no.. was I wrong. Stupidly, I forgot to CHANGE THE BLOODY CAMERA! So in the end, I had around 200+++ copies of that single frame and had wasted around 1.5 hours?? ^%€#!!! So, I had to RE-RENDER the two cameras and render the last camera. Wasted another 2 hours. Whee. And now, here I am, rejoicing that the rendering part is done. What's left to do now? Let's see... stitching them up together, put in sound effects, and export it as a .mov file. Burn it into a cd, hand it in, and skip 3d on thursday. 8DDDDDD

And now, I'm sleepy. Night all. Good luck with your own assignments, and if you try to render in the afternoon, make sure you're hungry. :)

TOODLES!

What about you?

2009-02-07T10:48:00.001+08:00

Your Personality Is Like Acid

A bit wacky, you're very difficult to predict.
One moment you're in your own little happy universe...
And the next, you're on a bad trip to your own personal hell!

At your best: You understand the world completely, and every ordinary experience is sublime.

What people like about being around you: You say and do the craziest things. You're very entertaining.

What people dislike about being around you: You're unpredictable. Your mood swings are quite intense.

How addicted people get to you: They pretty much don't get addicted to you.

What Drug Is Your Personality Like?

... randomness?

2009-02-06T16:29:00.002+08:00

Let me dig up a hole so that I can bury myself in it, please. Don't stop me.

Messed up my presentation and skit today. GAH. Tripped over my words, and repeated myself too many times. DD:

You see, I'm a weird person. I'm the type of person who's cool, calm and collected right before the presentation and all, but when I'm presenting, whether it be in front of the audience or with no one in sight, I'll be a whole tangled up ball of nerves. I'll end up stammering, shivering and fidget. This makes me forget many many things and stare at space for a moment, trying to figure out, and remember, what I had wanted to say, even though there are words up there on the screen or paper right in front of me. The written word is so much easier to come up with, rather than to say it out. I mean hey, there's a whole speech written by you right in front of you, but it was easier to write it down than to actually say it right? Especially when the speech was written two weeks back!!

Hmph. But, on to a lighter note. My mum got me the Canon EOS 450D! :DDDDDDD But I still owe her like 400 bucks for it though. And after that, save up again for lenses this time around. I want to get the zoom lens, macro lens, wide angle lens, fisheye lens, speedlite. XD

Still charging it, at this point in time, but soon, I'll be free of assignments ~~and maths will be put off~~ and have time to take it out for a spin! :DDDDD Anyone wants to go with me? :3

Things to get done:
1. Finish up 3d BY TMR DAMMIT.
2. RENDER THE FREAKING THING!
3. STUDY FOR THE WEBP TEST!!
4. MAKE THE RENDERED PICTURES INTO A VIDEO ON MONDAY.

And I'm a little confused. There's Java next week, right? And no webp, no dvde, no cd. but is there maths lecture? D:

Time table for next week:

Monday
Java 1100 - 1230

Tuesday
Maths Lecture 1030 - 1130 ---> IS THIS STILL ON?
Maths Tutorial 1130 - 1300 ---> IS THIS STILL ON??

Wednesday
Java 0830 - 1000
WebP Paper 1530 - 1730?

Thursday
3D 1400 - 1700 (GOD I'M SO GONNA HAND IN MY ASSIGNMENT ON THIS DAY MAN.)
ImagineCup Briefing ???? - ????

Time to do Maya, but I'm so tired... Guh. GO GO GO YAMEEE! AFTER THIS THEN CAN REST! DDDD:

Tralala?

"Number 48: Serenade Someone"

I've been doing my OC ~~faithfully~~ this morning... ~~minus the times I played my Java game right out of boredom...~~ and I've been trying to crack my brain on how to make it more interesting... =/ The topic's on Fanfiction... And how do I make THAT more interesting? D:

grraawwr. And I have to go maya later. Don't feel like going! DDDx

A Story by Alasse Fefalas

Open up your ears and listen to yourself.

2009-02-01T18:36:00.002+08:00

Pick up your chin, smile. Life's a lot more than this. There'll always be ups and downs in everything that you go through; This may seem to be an obstacle that is impossible to overcome, but look back and just see what you have gone through just to get here. You've broken down many walls that may once have been impossible to pass, and I know you can do it again. Try your hardest for yourself. Don't do it for others. For once, being selfish will be a good thing. And as for the rest, if you really have tried your best, they'll see it and just hope that they will understand it. Of course, sometimes they would be disappointed and shout at you for not doing what they have expected you to have done, but deep down they're already happy that you tried your best. And if you don't do too well this time, next time you'd have learnt from this experience and try even harder to get what you want. Never stop trying, and remember: impossible is just another word to hold you back. Live through life smiling, don't waste it worrying and looking sad and all.

I said this to someone once, and I guess it's time to listen to what I preach. No more denying, no more running away.

Bad news?

I seriously feel like wanting to find a rock big enough and crawl under it and rot while I bawl my eyes out. Stupid Maya closed on my while I was saving all I've done for animation... and when I opened it up again it didn't recover anything. Not that anyone would care... but I was already done with animating my bowl falling and all, not to mention the action of the balls falling out that took me a whole damn bloody long time!! KNN LA! 2 freaking, stinking hours of work. All gone. Because it died. WHILE I WAS BLOODY SAVING. Nice. Real nice, Maya.

Seriously. I just want to crawl under a rock and cry. Maybe I should just go to my room and cry. GAH. Stupid PMS. NB.

GAH. F U LA MAAAYAAAAA. STOP BEING EVIL TO ME CAN?! I WANT TO FINISH YOU UP ASAP! KNNBCCB!!! DDDDDDDDDD:

Bloody shit thing. GAH. I shall do illustrator, and hope that IT doesn't die one me too. If not, I'll seriously freak.

When there is only a single star left in the sky.
At that very moment, the path of forgiveness will close.
The writing in the Quran will vanish.
The sun will lower itself with the earth.

Prophet Muhammad saw said, 'Who ever delivers this news to someone
else, I will on the Day of Judgement make for him a place in Jannat.'

Bored?
