The FINAL hurdle

2008-03-31T10:32:00.002+08:00

Ok! It's here. The short nights and the super-long mornings and day.. Aha! Submission's in 2 weeks time, followed by crits and exams. This month is gonna be hectic but i'm sure it's gonna pass by at lightning speed. I'm gonna push hard for it. I'll catcha again in due time ait! Wish me luck and do pray for me! *muacks*

Alhamdulillah

2008-02-06T11:38:00.000+08:00

I am so glad things just fall into place. Most of my problems got settled after the ultimate breakdown. I can't recall the last time I had my last. But this time it was real bad. It was real bad, it made my lil' heart skipped for the whole day last Sunday. The doctor at AH said I needed complete rest, have meals at regular times and reduce caffeine intake.

Di 'proposed'.. well.. informally. Haha! *tell you more next time k*

I had IES in my sch comp yeah! Now no more huge hurdles to stop me from doing my work! The consultation went on well yesterday and I am glad that although I have so many things to settle for design, it's way better than to feel lost and not know what step to take next. Make sense?

I'll be darn busy over this wkened then. I bet u will too! Enjoyin' hahah!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR PALS!!

*the yusheng we had yesterday at the CNY party was incredibly delicious.. i looiikkeee!!!*

When everything sets in..

2008-01-19T12:30:00.000+08:00

I haf been feeling rather lethargic these few daes, and waking up has been torturous. Night conversations with Di cut short and me not giving the fullest attention wen we meet disturbs him. I'm sorry Di dear but i promise you that i'll get things warmed up real soon and our dates will be normal again k. Hehe! No worries abt that.

Progress for thesis is slow and i really need to buck up. Hope to get that matrix done by the next consultation. This semester is gonna be hectic. Really! And I need to stay focus and strong. TA work will start wk3 and everything shall end by week 13. Submission's in wk14. And i'm really planning to stop sunday's work at the dental clinic by end of March. There's internal crit, external crit and exams and numerous uncountable seminars and technology consultations. Gosh! God, please gif me strength.

I missed the catch up session wif darling ilsas yesterday. I know that they did have a good time and too bad i was not there to be part of it. Well nvr mind.. we'll haf one again soon. Rite?

Wow! This year is gonna rock big time as I have so many friends getting married and also engaged. One after another. Congratulations to all of you in advance! I'm so happy for you!

Alright.. I'm gonna sign off fer now.. Talk to you again next time yah!

Muackkks!

The last straw

2008-01-08T23:45:00.000+08:00

Met Di again after two days of missing.. And he looked so darn cute and adorable wif the fresh cut hair. Lurv the spiky feeling at the back of the head hehe! Aniwaes, accompanied Di fer dinner at Banquet. Poor Di.. the ulcers still bothering him quite abit.. and he had to take sth soupy fer dinner instead of his usual favourite hotplate dish. We wun be spending much time together tis wk since he is preoccupied wif work.. datelines, one after another, and will be busy over the wkends because of the exhibition at Suntec City.
I can't wait for tis wk to pass.. next wk will be the start of sch again.. the last semester yeah! I'm counting down to graduation..already..... heheheh! *jeng jeng jeng*

13 wks later...

It will be a new beginning.

Happy Saturday

2008-01-05T23:33:00.000+08:00

It's been soo long since Di and me spent time reading in the library. Our pick for today was the JE library. Yeah.. tat huge library next to JEC. Aniwae, we went on our separate book shopping spree before settling down on one of tat comfortable black sofa. I did'nt quite found wat i was looking out for. Books related to Architecture and Sports. BUT. I found a book on sustainable tropical architecture written by 2 of my professors in school. So i grabbed it. And one more on sports gear. Reading has always been Di's favourite pastime and I love to watch him wen he reads. Tangkap lentok beb. Tak bedek. Ok ok enuff..

We made our way home after that, stopped by JP to get some fries and nuggets on our way back. Caught "Me vs High Heels" on Sensasi and bumped around till 11. Really wished Di's ulcers will go away soon.. he's suffering real bad because of those bad sores. Poor sayang.

Alright, tat's all for now. Gotta wash up!
Nites darlings!

p/s: Lately, I've become more interested in Jude Law.. he has got that soft charm, so good looking and so irresistable and the gud thing is that i think my sayang bears so much similarity to him.. see it for urself!

Definitely a LOOK-FORWARD year ahead!

2008-01-03T13:40:00.000+08:00

Neo greetings to one and all!

We've come this far in life and may the new year that greeted us just a few daes back make way for greater happiness and success, within the comforting arms and hugs from families and friends, in good health and renewed hopes and dreams!

Yeah-o!

Aniwae..

First and foremost, CONGRATULATIONS sayang for the good news. U deserved it for REAL! Cheers to the hard work, blood, sweat and tears that WE haf put into making tat happened! Hur-hur! U made it tho' the journey was long, painful and frustrating, to say the least.

Well.. I'm feeling very optimistic that THIS is the year for me. Insya'allah. Had several work opportunities knocking at my door since the start of the year. Nuthing great but i'm happy. I haf to put 2 on hold cus it will be taking up my only week-end break and the evenings of my precious weekdays. Promised Yati that i'll do the 'I want to learn to Speak Malay' classes after the March break. Interesting rite? I can't wait too! And most probably, I wanna be taking up that TA job in school.

An important note for me NOW.

Better buck up and start working on my design. I'll be dead meat if i procrastinate. There's so much work to do. Printing of dissertation. And preparation of portfolios for internal and external design examinations. Argh! Do pray for my good health yah friends..

"Ku mencintaimu, lebih dari apapun Meskipun tiad...a satu orang pun yang tahu Ku mencintaimu, sedalam-dalam hatiku Meskipun engkau hanya kekasih gelapku... "

This is for you sayang. I love u like a crazy haha like how Glenn Fredly would put it in his Happy Sunday song.

Seems like being in cloud nine again. I love Di, i really do. A soulmate, he is.
He listens. He cares. He loves. He protects. He's a saviour.
I want him always. Here and be beside me. There's a lot of things that I've told him, I wanna tell him again.
I love u sayang. And thank you for loving me even so much more.

well-deserving break

2007-09-28T20:00:00.000+08:00

The 3-days field trip to KL and Perak was fun and tiring at the same time. It was all because of the long, dreadful bus rides to get to places. Kept falling in and out of sleep just to pass time. Most of the time, when we reach destination, we were all heavy and tired. The places we visited were all unique and architecturally attractive, so that sort of eliminated part of the worn-out feeling. *phew*

The trip also served as a good break from school and BGR commitments. Well not that im complaining, but definitely, absence do make the heart grow fonder, so i like that. No auto-roam service so no calls and no news from dearest for 2 days. The sweet thing is that he surprised me by waiting for my return at home, breaking fast at my house wif my family even tho i was not around to entertain him.. that was definitely brave! haha!
Well u cud have done better by waiting for me in school so Aishah and Suhaimi wud not have to send me home. Anw, thanks to them, i was home early and dearest do not have to take cab back to Tampinese.

Hope to be able to post some photos from the field trip soon! Catcha ya again ok! Tata for now!

TRUTH IS

2007-09-11T14:32:00.000+08:00

Well.. the past few weeks have been hectic..
School started off smoothly and registration of modules was kinda straight-forward as there was no need for any bidding and stuff.. This semester is filled up right from the start, from teh mini-exhibition, the 10K dissertation write-up, assignments and thesis thereafter. Well sth to look forward to, is definitely the short 3-days trip down to KL and Perak, with aki mates. We'll be visiting some incredible places that normal visitors would not be priviledged to do so.

I'm kinda irritated and frustrated with some things going on at home. My only wish is that the bursary would come in soon enuff and i'll be able to get a new comp for myself. I need it lah, like hell ya! And having only one working computer at home is just not enuff.. imagine 4 people hot-desking.. argh! Simply annoying! The fact that I have to use the comp every minute, every hour, everyday working on the report does'nt help. The rest get restless and start picking fights because they have nothing else to do at home (well one just ORD-ed and the other waiting for enlistment this Monday).

thruth is ........................... Life really USCKS..! (fornoww)

As of now..

2007-06-29T15:23:00.001+08:00

Pretty occupied with dissertation and matters involving the upcoming exhibition. Despite the busy schedule, i'm still happy cus i have my family and dearest Di cheering on for me. Alhamdulillah. Have been spending quality time with Di recently and i totally enjoyed his company. Thanks Di. I love you always.
Coming July, it will be matriculation again, check-ups and workshops.. pretty hectic huh.. plus completing the final report by end Aug. Plus exhibition. *anxiously eagerly anticipating*

Hehe!

Do I have to let it linger?

2007-01-23T15:10:00.000+08:00

Talks about year passed, moving on, let bygones be bygones and etc are all lorries full of crap. Well, the reason is clear: Everyone has new resolutions. New meaning they will eventually turn old and then forgotten. We picked up these old resolution the next coming year, make it new and the whole vicious cycle of self-inflicted-hope for a better life starts again. Come on people. Just do not leave these baggages lingering in ur life for too long. Live freely. And for yourself. It's when you feel good yourself, you make people around you feel good. It's life. A cycle.
This year, if you want to find love, i say go for it. This year, if you want to get rid of your enemies, i say what are you waiting for? Next year? This year, if you want to do more exercises, just do not only think of the gym. There are a whole lot of different sports you can take on outdoors. This year, if need be you trash it all out with your steady boyfriend, do it! Do not leave matters linger till the minutes you are about to step up that dais. If you are not happy about anything, voice them out.

2006-07-11T21:47:00.000+08:00

So many things have happened over these few days and there's alot that I want to share but I really don't know where to start.. so I'll just go by the dates yah..

Sat the 8th
I brought 2 babies, Fuad n Sayang, along to watch NDP preview at Kallang Stadium. The main highlight of this year's parade is of course the awesome show of fireworks! I will definitely drag sayang to watch the fireworks again, at Marina promenade, coming August.

Sun the 9th
My dentist told me of IBS -- Irritable Bowel Syndrome. The kind which causes bloatedness of the stomach when one starts consuming food, sometimes accompanied by acute pain on one side of the stomach. I think i'm having it by I can't be sure. It's not serious but I'm reading on it.. Will update you guys on the details soon.
Farouk (my first bro, the 2nd in the family) and I bought an Adidas watch for my 2nd bro, Faisal. He wanted it so much and which was y we got him that as his birthday gift. He was elated when I gave him the present on the night itself. Happy 20th birthday sayang!

Mon the 10th
Worked at Fajiras till 1pm.. Power nap before sayang dropped by to do his notice board stuff.. I helped him a lil' with the design.. and then, helped Fuad with his 'Fun with Gears' science homework (the one which requires the kid to assemble the gears together in a manner that they will seem to work).. I felt so charitable that day haha!

Today
Lazing around at home.. Caught 'Falling In Love' on HBO and watched 'After the Sunset'.I'm falling in love with Pierce Brosnan all over agaaaaiiinnn...!!

Enuff said..
I'll update again tomorrow yah!

Bye diary!

*summarising.. i'm trying my best to live up to the motto "To the good, be better, to the bad, be meaner." So be prepared for changes in the kinda way i'll be treating you in the future.

S H O P till we drop....

2006-07-05T00:02:00.000+08:00

I'm totally in the mood of designing & refurnishing the house. I have so many ideas running through my head right now and i can so imagine materialising them soon.. well at least before hari raya. I'm so happy i got myself a new Canon all-in-one printer (scan, fotocopy plus print duh!) today. And plus there's freebies, a thumbdrive and glossy photo printing papers. Good deal hur? The other bigger better deal was the sofa set. It was on 50% discount (thanks to GSS!) so there was no better reason for us not to get it (tho it still costs us ard $****)! Love the whole sleek outlook! Plus it comes with a free cooker! Superb shopping experience! Now I'm just waiting for my pay to get some new paints for my bedroom. And den i'll pester my sayang to come help me paint the room. Insya' allah i'll post pictures of my new room in the months to come...!

*summarising.. thanks Mi n Di for accompanying me shop for the printer n alas bought for urself the new sofa set too... muah to sayang for helping us carry the printer home.. and it was great pleasure entertaining you the whole day. Haha!

Today I'm reminded of the *scape project i did last semester for the challenge was to design a congregational space for youths (aged 18-35) to interact, play, learn n do all the other 'town-stuffs', synonimous to YP.. y? Simply because today we celebrate youth day (in the tune of "..today we celebrate independence day..") It was an exhausting one-week project that effectively warmed us back into semester one after the year-end break. The main highlight of it all was Khai (was one of the critic panel)! Thanks for all the constructive feedback!
And cheers..
to the many very youthful years ahead.. to one & all..

*summarising.. thanks mum fer the pizza treat..! love you lots! can't wait to mit ayang tmrw!
