26 january 2009
for non-chinese, chinese new year basically means 'staying at home'. practically all shops are closed. ghost town everywhere so we had a bonding session at baba's house. went boat quay for awhile to get measurements for my assignment and back to her place. i snapped some pics.
earlier part of the day.
eat. talk. laugh. life!
thats ayah. he didnt know i snapped this. shhh..
at boat quay
not many pics of us cos i was busy taking the shophouse.
btw,that lil boy is hykel.
this is what happens when everybody wants to be in the picture.
at night. back from boat quay.

visiting
SGH
i was in class yesterday at ard 3pm when i got a call from mama saying that tok yu(datuk sedare) was warded. if im not wrong, i did mentioned in my previous post that the doctor diagnosed his illness as a throat cancer due to smoking. so anyway, he had his chemotherapy twice and didnt have the appetite to eat after that. he was so weak that he fell in his home toilet. all of us reached the hospital at around 6pm. his wife and daughter were crying. only two visitors were allowed at a time but i couldnt help it standing outside and wait so i went in. later, more people came in. but the nurse there are friendly. so they let us in. told them we are all well-behaved human beings. :) well, obviously baba shed the most tears. i wasnt that close to him so yea. i was only on the verge of crying but i managed to control them. i was touched at the ending part before we leave, but the whole atmosphere changed for me when i heard baba said smtg like this to him. " engku ma doakan supaye brahim cepat sembuh. mintak2 tk ade pape berlaku. inshallah kite panjang umur smp dpt tgk CUCU2 kite KAWIN.''
i was like. ya allah baba. sempat. haha. but i said amin too. hehe *mama tgk kak ja* haha
i went home reflecting abt everything and anything. i feel sooo.. blessed! alhamdulillah. shall not elaborate further tho.
*i just need that 'quality' time together*

i came across this 'write up' while bloghopping. its closely related to design students, architecture to be exact. :)
If you are architecture student you've probably experienced:
-the taste of wood glue
-changes in your vocabulary : homework to project, ball to sphere, etc
-you don't understand how somebody can spend less than $20 at the supplies store
-you hate people telling you "go to sleep" or "do you still have a lot of work?"
-your friends and you don't have the same concept of work "oh, well do it right before class"
-you've slept more than 20 straight hours on weekends
-you can easily discuss with authority the effects of caffeine on different drinks
-no matter the effort you put in a project, somebody will always say “why don’t you add this? or “why don’t you change this here? or “i think that…but…yeah, its ok?
-you’ve heard all your ipod songs in a week
-whenever you get invited somewhere, it is followed by “or do you have a lot of homework?
-you write down a quick message with rapidographs, lead holders, markers and ink
-you have more pictures of landscapes and places than of people
-your worst nightmare consists of not finishing a project
-someone once called you “lazy"? and you wanted them murdered
-you can live without human contact, sunlight, food, but if your plotter’s ink runs out… chaos!!!
-you don’t care about sports cars, your favorite car is the one where you can put in your model
-you design spectacular things without the idea of the cost
-you have the modern mark : a blister in your palm’s hand for the constant use of your mouse
-everybody tells you how they admire your work, “but there is no money for it?
-you’ve gained the ability to sleep in whatever surface: pencils, keyboards, backpacks, your studio mates, food, etc
-you always have the idea that your project will always be recognized
-when you finally have free time to go out you keep thinking “who was the idiot that designed the restaurant’s bathroom?? “who designed this menu?? or “who designed this [chair, table, lighting, fork, etc]?
-you've been at many sunrises, yet you've never seen one
and and. i have my own.
-we designers, dont talk. we draw.
-we dont read instructions
-khayal alot. but not smoking. to some!
- fashionably late. so if u guys wanna date a designer, make sure u bring something to entertain urself while waiting. ;P
thats all i can think of right now. feel free to add more.
waddya think?? agree? or disagree? :D

*dont say ya rite eh myra*' so when it came to my turn, a lady there said that i have to wait till he comes to my table. hady replied her on behalf of me and said 'kakak. tkpe kak. ni satu je. last. boleh2.' n he reached his hand outward, calling me to come closer to him. i went towards him n he puts his hand on my shoulder. i cant be standing stiff n straight like a statue so i put my hand at his waist.

tracing back time.
31 dec 2008/1st jan 2009
on NYE. my family went to visit tok u at his house. he had cancer on his throat due to smoking since 10 years old! and now he's 67. can u imagine that?? so kids out there, DON'T SMOKE! stayed there til abt 11.45pm while watching channel 5 countdown. it was merepek. tak tgk pon tkpe. initially the plan was to celebrate new year at downtown east. however, seems like mama and mummy couldnt stop talking and drag the time. so we had our 'celebration' in the car. in ayah's car, there were mama, ayah, amyra and me. while in daddy's car, there were mummy, daddy, hykel and my 2 brothers. i was told that mummy was really really hyper when the clock strikes 12 while we were more of like toned down n not care?? haha.
some of u might ask. what is my new year resolution? my ans is exercise more and lose some kilos. but but. here's the thing. on the first day of new year, i broke the resolution. i ate. haha.
2nd jan 2009
the night before, i was told by amyra that there was an audition going on at taman warisan, searching for actors and actresses. she's going with her father and uncles, asking me to tagged along.. i was half hearted to go or not cos i wasnt sure whether is this the path i wanna take and i wasnt mentally prepared at all. so i told her to call me the next morning to confirm with me again.
morning came and she called me. i asked who's going and theres like 5 in total which apparently, fits nicely in a car. so i said im not going. after putting down the phone, i wasnt at ease. i msged amyra asking her whether she wants me to accompany her along.
so there i was at taman warisan the next min. after register and stuffs, we went in the room in groups of abt 6 ppl. i didnt know that the auditionee was malaysia's director, shuhaimi baba. one of the film she direct was 'pontianak harum sundal malam'. i didnt know it until everyone completed. actually the audition was for a drama. collaboration of msia n spore. gosh! i thought it was just for spore production. a mini tiny thing but hey, its like msia's involve. like for now, things i have to juggle are like school, agama, mama's shops, family, friends, whats more. acting?? whatever it is, i'll just leave it to god. he decides best for me. and and if sleeq can do it, i dont see a reason why i cant. to sum up, its worth an experience.
after that, we went to stall to help mama.
at abt 8.30pm, went to vivo to watch 'the duchess'. movie review time..
just to let some of u readers know, the film is based on Amanda Foreman's best selling biography of 18th century duchess of Devonshire Georgiana Cavendish, who is trapped in a loveless marriage. personally i think the movie has a beautiful landscape and over-the-top period costumes. however, it can be tad draggy in some scenes but the actor's performances more than compensate.
so whats the next movie in line?? hmm.. perhaps seven pound? or brides war??
ok lets go.
