OVER.YOU

Well I never saw it coming 
I should have started running 
A long long time agooo! 
And I never thought I’d doubt you 
I’m better off without you 
More than you, more than you know 
I’m slowly getting closure 
I guess it’s really over 
I’m finally gettin’ better 
Now I’m picking up the pieces 
From spending all of these years 
Putting my heart back together 

‘Cause the day I thought I’d never get through 
I got over you!!!

santa is early!

stone santa!

karen and i.

elves working hard!

dear santa,

i have a wish for christmas.

i hope it comes true!

after many frustrations

after many tantrums 

after many dollars spent

(forgive me if the grammar is wrong. hehe. i jus wanted many 'many's in the sentence, to prove that i really had many many many things going on.)

i'm this close to finishing 1st year of uni!!!!!!

YAY!!

*just one teeny weeny bit left to do, which is not teeny weeny at all, but i feel its a teeny weeny bit, compared to my hugey bugey workload i had for this whole entire week.* 

this week, felt like a month.

i'm exhausted.

all i know is that i should.

- missy higgins

drops of jupiter in my hair.

since the return from my stay on the moon,

i act like summer and walk like rain.

i listen like spring and talk like june.

i'm telling you,

i did sail across the sun.

i made it to the milky way to see the lights all faded 

and that heaven is overrated.

i fell for a shooting star, 

one without a permanent scar.

i missed you while i was looking for myself out there.

i'm telling you,

the wind swept me off my feet.

i finally got the chance to dance along the light of day 

and head back to milky way.

Venus did blow my mind, 

and it was everything i wanted to find.

i missed you while i was looking for myself out there.

i wanna goo home!

i can't wait for this sem to END!

.

webdesign.

its killing me!! 

its our last project for design technology. 

Dreamweaver is soo not user friendly! 

anyway, this is my header for my website!!

i kinda like it!

hopefully i could get a D for this project, which i think its kinda impossible at the moment! i cant even place my navigation bar that the right spot. 

i m trying veri hard! veri hard!

AJ rafael. filipino american.

this dude can really sing!

youtube him! he writes his own songs too!

the 1st video that i saw was him dueting with someone else, singing lucky by jason mraz and colbie caillat.

i'm a big big fan of his now. 

and i managed to influence yeen and jolyn!!

now, they both are so into his songs too!

these 2 songs are my favourites! i don't think i could ever get bored of it.

little piece of home and i just want you.

go AJ! show the ang mo's how good we asians are!

let it out, let it out!

its been a long long time since i got angry!

today was so far my worst day working at wagamama.

*breathes in*

"YOU, how dare you say i work very slowly! its because of you!!! you pointed out this and that for me to do. how to finish up my own chores fast?? AND how dare you say you helped me out a lot? i was the one helping you clean up the tables, okay! and i could cope alone at the bar! you are the one who wanted to barge in and help!! i think you are just scared because there are a lot of customers wanting attention!! AND how dare you say i'm so small and skinny and that's why you have to stay back to help me do the closing? I can cope by myself. no need you!! AND how dare you try to act like my boss when you are the one taking wrong orders. and i was the one getting it from the customers and the manager saw it all. *i think? hehe. hopefully she knows that it wasn't me that took the order! not me!!* " 

*blows out*

phewww.. feeling much better now. 

hmmm.. i think i exaggerated a little. jus a little bit. a teeny weeny bit. hehe.

you are just jealous because i m slimmer than ya.. haha. in your face!!

*sticks tongue out*

i know i'm childish.

I got tired of waiting,
Wondering if you were ever comin' around.
My faith in you was fading,
When I met you on the outskirts of town.

This love is difficult, but its real.

Don't be afraid; we'll make it out of this mess.

love story

- taylor swift.

busy earning money.

i'm currently working for rmit. just for a week.

hahaha. this job is pretty easy!! 

all you gotta do is count the number of ppl in the classroom.

the file that you need to carry all the time.

with the badge that shows ur identity, which i don't bother wearing.

the rooms i need to check.

it looks like a lot in this pict. 

but i can finish all the rooms in 15 mins.

hehe.

mine is the evening shift.

so practically, i'm doing the same thing every hour.

and i finish one round in 15 mins. so i got 45 mins to chill till the next round starts.

and i get paid 22 per hour and i'm working 5 hours a day for 5 days.

yay! i so very need the money.

i need a dress! for the communication design ball!

the theme is 1950's hollywood glamour.

i'm so excited!!

moving on...

i got a HD for my shampoo labels!

i don't think i deserve a hd though.

but i'm happy!

hehe.

intrigue/ the unexpected.

project 3.

intriguing image.

Exploration of the unseen- where we create interest, not by what we show, but what we don't show (what we leave out).

my final.

ermm.. don't really have an explanation for this composition of mine.

just use ur imagination and figure it out.

not really happy about it though.

but i don't think i can do any better.

my photoshop skills ain't tat good.

anyway, hope for the best.

yay! semester 2 ends in 4 weeks!

what a day!

yesterday,

after uni, we went to max b to chill, and then we got home at about 6 and i went up to yeen's roomie to chat.

we talked about all sorts of things, 

it started with hollywood gossips, to emmy awards best and worst dressed, to weird classmates (i know we are evil. keke), to high school mates, to families from mom's side to dad's side, to reading blogs, to randoms. 

and to our surprise, it was midnight already!! 

soo officially, its my longest talk (6 hours) without any intervals, the only break was to the toilet, well, actually, we didn't stop our chat too, as the toilet was jus beside her room. haha.

finally we decided to stop talking because we both were hungry as we haven eaten our dinner. and i haven showered. so i decided to get my stuff and shower. while walking down the stairs. i had no idea how it happened! but i guess i didn't place my foot properly and i ....

*bangg boomm* fell! my bottom hit the ground. my phone flew to the kitchen, which is a few steps away from the stairs. my jacket went over the railing. 

and my ankle HURTS!! i seriously wanted to cry! but i couldn't! *thanks yeen for helping me up. :)* not sure why. but i was shivering. i didn't feel cold what so ever. but i was shivering. weird! 

i hurt this same ankle a few years ago! but tat time was the outer side of my ankle, this time is the inner side. but as long as i remembered, that time was sooo much more painful then this time! haha. and i fell down while walking down the stairs too. IN SCHOOL. how malu! at least this time was at home. hehe.

anyway, i'm still hurting now! the worst thing is my toilet is upstairs!! 

im still the same careless me!!!

i wanna travel the world in a balloon 

that doesn't follow where the path may lead to

but where there is no path to follow

and leave a trail...

i found the joy in working.

I got a new part time job. thanks to sher :)

I've been wanting to quit my old job since the day i started but then after a while, i started to like that job. However after a while again, i hated it again because of the customers and sometimes the people i work with. Then sher told me that the place she works at really needed part timers, and asked me to try it out but for some reason i didn't take it. maybe because i was scared to learn from scratch again. And a while later, sher's restaurant didn't have enough people working on that night and so she asked me to call her manager to give me a go. And so I did. Spontaneously, the manager asked me to go over that night itself and help out. I was really scared. So anyway, after that shift, i was like, 

hell, i love this jobbb.

so finally i quit my old job and am currently working in...

WAGAMAMA.

the back of my uniform.

btw, this restaurant started off in the UK and has branches all over europe. its a japanese restaurant for westerners.

and because i'm new, i don't know the menu well yet, so i worked in the bar. the bar i mean is not the bar bar. but the bar where drinks are made. my job is making juices (recipes are on the wall) and pouring wine and opening beers and sometimes serving the drinks.

Its an expensive restaurant, one meal cost about 17 to 20 dollars. The people i worked with are really nice, really helpful and always checking back on me to see whether i'm okay or not. if there are too many dockets, that is when i panic, they will give me a hand. 

got the pict off the internet,

from left, if i'm not wrong, its the apple, lime and mint juice. the other two i think its lemon ice tea? 

not only i like the people working with me and making drinks, i love the smell and the interior of the restaurant too. it smells sooo good always. the toilets are so clean too and there is soap in the toilets!! the interior, mostly everything is made out of wood.

the kitchen. i make drinks on the left. its out of the picture. 

i love the lights hanging from above.

most important is that i get paid sooo much higher. not sure how much but i think its 12 dollars per hour?

$.$

*sorry for the super long and longwinded post. 

it proves how much I LOVE MY JOB, :)*

Dreaming with a broken heart.

when you're dreaming with a broken heart. 

the waking up is the hardest part.

I roll out of bed and down on my knees 
and for a moment I can hardly breathe 
Wondering were you really here 
Are you standing in my room? 

No, you are not 
cause you're gone, gone, gone, gone, gone. 

Do I have to fall asleep with roses in my hand?

would you get them if I did?

No, you won't
cause you're gone, gone, gone, gone, gone. 

- John Mayer

HAPPY NATIONAL DAY, all!!

happy birthday

MALAYSIA.

no matter where i roam,

- here in my home.

"if you knew everything about tomorrow, 

what would you do differently about today?"

faith popcorn.

*well, my laptop is not tat colouful. hehe. photoshopped it for my magazine! hehe.*

although i really love my laptop.

but i really miss doing work by hand!!! :(

last year,  most of my projects are to be done by hand. and i wished that we could use the design programs more often.

but this year, i need to sit in front of the laptop for hours. and keep switching between programs.

 from illustrator to photoshop, to Indesign. 

argghh! hate it men!

but love it too.

:)

it got me through.

i've been spending way too long checking my tongue in the mirror 

and bending over backwards just to try to see it clearer.

But my breath fogged up the glass

and so i drew a new face and i laughed.

I guess what i'd be saying is there ain't no better reason

to rid yourself of vanities and just go with the seasons.

it's what we aim to do.

our name is our virtue.

but i won't hesitate no more, 

no more it cannot wait

i'm yours.

it got me through the tough tough weekend.

i'm stress free! 

:)

rainy days and fridays always get me down.

hate rainy days. thursday was such a wet wet day!!

so gloomy and moody. plus lecture was super boring too!

AND talking about fridays. it maybe the best day of the week for some of you guys.

it may seem to be a fun day for me too as i don't have any classes on friday.

HOWEVER, assignments and project is the ones filling up my WHOLE friday!

hate it! i need fresh air! 

however i really enjoy doing my assignments. :) but give us more time!!!

ball me up fest!!

project one, fringe festival.

fringe means an outer edge, margin, periphery.

BALL ME UP FEST!

the front!

my hero image! done with markers and fine liners and colour pencils.

the back of the brochure is the contents,

well, this festival is basically about you being the ball instead of controlling the ball.

a newly invented machine will b the one hitting you (the ball) around.

there will b all sort of ball sport for you to experience.

you have a choice to be either inside the ball or if you wanna to go to the extreme, you can be wrapped on the surface of the ball.

tickets available at www.ballmeup.com!

sadly, its not a festival that can be carried out that easily!

hopefully one day,

there will be a festival similar to this!

that will be soo fringe!

my paintball experience

 was sooo awesome!!!!

at the beginning, i was sooo scared after hearing other people's experience.

all the bruises and the pain.

ohh.. soooo terrifying!

when i got onto the field all i did was hide! but still i got shot at my finger!

it was sooo freaking painful. :(

but slowly, i started to be more daring since all the girl were so brave!

(i was the weakest!!)

it was then i started to enjoy more!

wooottt!

groupie shot before starting!

pest control workers!

hahaha.

the girls!!!

after all that action! 

i felt like i was in war! seriously!

groupie shot with our referee!
