or maybe only shoes on sale gives you that, where you gotta invest on plasters and scar healing gels later on. i usually don't have blisters by shoes but today alone i had 4 emergency plasters on my feet because of this new pair of shoes of a very damn good price to replace my torn dearie of 2 years.

i wish old shoe soles can heal on its own.

i finished my 4-year course.
i just used my last drop of toner.
my printer ink is almost kosong.
my dvd burner was sent to low yat this afternoon.
selfish is done and waiting to be printed.
i dont have any rice to cook. except unpolished rice.
my watch getting sadder.
router here is too old to function properly.
what else...

my phone decided to join the list too. it evaporated in the air of kl this afternoon. i guess i have been cursing it too much.

suddenly, nobody gets to call me.
it was a relief somehow; yet, i was scared.
contradictory.


p/s: SIM recovered. phone, yet to replace.

if you've been catching with what i'm up to lately, you should know that me and a few classmates are busy producing a memory book which we named it as selfish.

thanks to ebee for the name, it beat my the end of darkness hands down when it won the most votes from our dearest classmates. they sure know this is the best book title ever! as soon as i have done with my assignments & submissions, if i'm not out for any activities, i'd be sitting here in front of the pc arranging the pages and chasing after artworks and data from those who still want to be in the book. we have 5 designers and a boss from the committee responsible for 40+ profiles, and through this, i realized how suitable the name is for our book. the selfish trait is seen in almost everybody! just look at how the design team do their own pages and you'll know, including myself. we just want our page to be the best, the most special, and the most of whatever, others, just do our best la, but not better than our own. though no harm to the others, still it is obvious there is something more complete than the other pages!

anyway, the others don't worry, we do not simply get it done. the boss has been having headaches touching up and changing every mistakes, we will make sure everything is perfectly nice before sending it for printing. which also means me and chinnyin need to make sure everything is okay, satisfied with it then only we get to go home. i hope tomorrow night is the last check, because i have bak chang waiting for me at home!~! and before the bak chang, i need to cabutkan my dvd-rom out to low yat before the warranty expires on 26 july. why 26 july again, what's with this busy date? also, i still need to buy fabric and make the portfolio bag for anuz... before home. the rest has to wait then.

thus, there is not enough time to go for offset printing for selfish, which could be much more cheaper, could be... according to the more experienced daniel p, there are a lot of rules and details to follow if we want to go for offset printing. it's going to take around 2 weeks to prepare those and another 5 working days to print. so we'll just leave it to digital print. anyway it is the other guy's job, we'll just need to make sure it is ready on convo, because that's the only time everyone is back together again.

now, i only need to get some group photos from throughout these 4 years by stealing them in facebook and my multiply photos (since my photos are mostly in cds and my dvdrom can't read it). just pray that the line goes smooth, which is not really good currently~

can't wait to see the book ready within this 2 weeks.

oh shit, haven't gotten a cover yet! arghhh~

she came over in the morning since i wasn't ready yet, and showed off her new lomo robot with 3 eyes. awesome stuff from korea.

while i was getting ready, she checked online for what to do after the wedding we were about to crash in later. i don't know the couple but she does, a few years our seniors and lomo manias. i just followed, randomly as a part-nerd.

that was the first malay wedding i've ever attended, since i was born as a malaysian 22 years ago. as usual, we took all those public transports and crazily took a cab that hasn't even ticked more than the fixed RM2 to reach the location. it was damn within walking distance :P we were there to give some blessing (and of course free food~), finished my remaining frames of film and enjoyed the wedding for around an hour. then we left after getting the goodie bag with some souvenirs in it (muffin, kuih bangkit and boiled egg).

from the star line lrt, we randomly dropped off at plaza rakyat and went to the toilet at ancasa hotel... then crossed over to kota raya. never been there too although for 4 years i've been strolling around petaling street. lots of cheap accessories, dvds and comics.

since it was a sunday, those shops i wanted to buy fabric and sponge were closed. gotta come back again on weekdays to get the materials then. next, we visited annexe for whatever exhibition they are having, it was the lurking photographs, then walked through petaling street to a magazine shop and jeen called on the way.

jeen: where are you?
ebee: i'm at petaling street.
jeen: with who?
ebee: chenyee.
jeen: i hate you!


the randomness ended under a hot and lazy sunday afternoon.
i said, see you at convo then as we bid goodbye at pasar seni.
she said, nooo...

ok, we'll see each other again soon.

I was freed on 1st July. On the 2nd, since I only went to campus to burn some DVDs (but unsuccessful in the end), Pat saw me and asked me to help WX in her works, she simply had toooooo many to do and desperately needed help. Long story short, all her works were done in the morning of moderation. 

Back to July 2nd. Since it was Ivana's birthday, and we are not celebrating it together in Redang~... nevermind... we had dinner at Daorae in Bandar Puteri.

Those who were there are: me, chinnyin, ivana&ck, kendy, cabo, very, natasha, sartika, and another girl someone has to tell me who that is.

It's been like a year since I last went shopping with Abby and SS, and never only me and Abby, as long as i remembered. Usually when we go shopping, it was always me and Abby who walk together in a fast speed, because that's our speed. SS usually couldn't catch up with us~ But yesterday SS had to accompany her friend over some incident so there was only 2 left for the pre-planned shopping trip. SS has been trapped in Cheras since her internship started last month, too bad she couldn't join us.

The day started with me waking up late. Apart from that, the rest (including cash flow) went smooth and pleasant until the end of the day.

We agreed on Bangsar since I had this in mind even before I asked Abby for suggestion. Apparently she wants to do a survey for the current trend of clothes because she is starting an online business selling clothes, and I am now responsible to think for a name for that business. Meanwhile, for me, the last time I went for leisurely shopping was like... err I don't remember.

Since her car has some problem yet to be fixed, we traveled by public transport, with multiple transits but none of us had the time to complain anything about that as we were too busy catching up with each other's stories. In fact, we didn't have to wait for long too for the buses or trains to arrive, the longest being 20+- minutes for we missed the previous bus by a minute. The minute we wait would be the minute we filled in with topics, so waiting was totally painless yesterday.

It felt a bit like we are back in form 3 again, where we sat together in the class and talk about anything and everything all day long, no matter how many chalks or equivalent stuffs where thrown at our direction. We simply have too many to talk about. From the current news over our friends, our graduation, her master's in UPM, her lost-and-found-dead dog back in SP, where we both shed tears over this in the LRT, to a friend that needs some advice and counseling. We did pause in between but never longer than 2 minutes unless we are separated while browsing in boutiques.



 
The food was delicious as its name and not too noisy surrounding despite it was full house at that lunch hour. We spent around an hour there before we went browsing in all those boutiques at that jalan telawi area, where I got a top in the first shop we went in, called Blueberry.We agreed that this boutique has the best selection of clothes compare to all the others. And you won't believe how we both could skip a shop we didn't feel like going in without having to speak.A few other recommended boutiques are Mooie and Tea Time.

Man I miss all those boutiques, too many to see and be inspired. I already have some things in mind that I want to make from browsing in those places looking at the pretty things. Since I have a business in my mind too, it was kinda like 2 of us were doing our research and discussing about renting a place at the curve and setting up a blog or web to sell stuffs. This is what I called something we have in common. This is just too comfortable.

Maybe because she is going to Bangkok next week to get the clothes as stock, she ended up buying nothing. So we went to Mid Valley and I got myself a 50%+10% off black pants from GAP. It was after much consideration that it is definitely a nice pair and could be worn for long, starting off as what I'd be wearing for my convo. Counting at this, it is going to worth the money spent. Then I decided to stop buying things.

We went to Sushi Zanmai for dinner where we spent another hour or so sitting in the 2-person small space for the perfectly nice sushi. The chawanmushi is just so aromatic and smooth. We only left the place after uncountable refills of green tea and both our bladders need some relief. There was nothing else to do so it marked the time to go home. after the KTM, ERL and 429, envied her birthday in Bangkok next week and bid a bye. Then rest was about being very tired, had to wash a lot of clothes, think a name for her and sleep my way to a date with another Ebee in the morning. Another nice day awaits.

连续两天努力闭门造车之后，终于我把那五六千字给呕完出来。
间中当然有冲进梦中的时候，还不时发了乱七八糟的梦：
水果刀不见了，不能吃橙； 还见到爸爸妈妈…

想家了吗?…

三千字是底线，五六千可能有点写太多了。
不过怎么读来读去都还是觉得内容不够深入，但再写下去我就不用毕业了吧~
等下要重读修改文章，
接下来就要忙 layout design, test prints, cover design, printing, binding, packaging...
一大堆事要做要想，还要印成3本…

还没有月中我又要把帐口挖空了…

you continue to complain about price hike and boycott your petrol station, i continue to take my public transport.

so you can stop forwarding me mails on boycotting petrol stations and government.
akur tak akur, living cost is going to adjust from time to time anyway.

there are cars on the road
i am waiting to cross
the timer is dead
the cars are few

i wait patiently
for the pedestrian light to turn green



should i trust my own senses and guts
and get to the other side

or i should i wait maybe
just for a while

for my FYPs, it has made my life easier to refer what i have throughout the course by checking photos and blogs from here...

man, i found so many things i've forgotten. 

。

like, those we can think with our asshole.
like, i have a piece of cake but how do i share it with you.
i never answered them because i would be answering them sarcastically.

tell me why some people don't have common sense.

again.
a few minutes ago.

i tot i was dizzy, again.

and then pei shin called to check with me.
so there was a tremor.

and she said, get ready your stuffs, and wear your bra.

so, where ar?


actually i was kinda expecting it since that part of china had a terrible one.

and the things i have to do are:

1. DRP book 80% to go

2. DRP video 1% and loading

3. LG advertising campaign items idea

4. Colourful Malaysia Brochure 2% and loading

5. font design detail work

6. box doodle going into execution

7. QeeDoll going into execution

8. Habitat skateboard no idea

9. personal name card zero sketches only idea

10. personal portfolio website doing layout

11. portfolio customization need to buy stuffs

12. portfolio exhibition need to choose artworks and alter some


it is so clear that you should not come kacau me or ter-step on my tails until i finish all these.

-sign with a sinister smile-

back in secondary school, some students put a lot of green in their paintings because miss khoo likes green and most likely will give higher marks in that. i don't know how true was that, but if i don't like what i see, who cares about what colour she likes or not.

that was the time when we do what the teachers like.

* * *
now, in semester 8, graduating like, next month, do you still ask questions like:
what does (that lecturer) want for that project?

come on, we are doing mostly projects on self promotion for these 2 semesters, and you still ask what the lecturer wants instead of what YOU want... isn't that ridiculous.

you dont read your project brief?

do you show less than 2 scamps and expect people to help you? how do you compare when there is nothing to compare?

by now we are supposed to think for ourselves, do what we think is suitable and ask for comments from the lecturer, not ask for ideas nor just waiting for approval. but there are still people who do just that, she no approve i no need do lo. she so mafan wan. what she wan actually?

we are pursuing our own future not your lecturer, right? who's gonna worry for you if you yourself dont give a damn about it?

the deadline is near, the project has been going on for weeks, and someone just popped up and asked that question, along with stuffs mentioned a hundred times before.

if in WX's case, i'm willing to help her because she has solid things to tell when she needs help and discussion. but not to those people who never read briefs and ask exactly what people have been discussing all this while.

sorry, i refuse to answer. find it out yourself, or go ask somebody else.

the many first experiences and sneak peak of photos.
