A little taste of freedom.


today was my last day as a third year student in Uni.
next week ill be starting my practical training at a place
where i could possibly die of nervousness...

how was the exams?

it was pretty ok i guess.
thanx to the many spot question
and study sessions at McD
i had with
K.Pah, kN, and Tum.

as usual,
i have my end of the year photo shoot at the MainStaircase of my uni.

::ill upload more pics later tomorrow::

so, as the last day of exams,
i decided to reward myself with an outing with a few friend
i met thru RA.
we decided to go to Laundry Bar to watch a few bands perform..

but b4 that,
Aris, Shaqyl and i
had our dinner at this one new Indonesian Restaurant
at the Curve, this restaurant is a famous franchise which specializes on Sunda Food.
we had the specialty Bumbu Desa Chicken, Daging Rendang and the Gado2.
it was ok la..
not like i was blown away,
just .... for me.

then we headed towards Laundry bar and ordered the
Creme Brulee.
it was the best thing i ever tasted!!!
my goodness!!
IT WAS SO GOOD!!

hahaha..

World Pillow Fight Day, KL Chapter


i had the best time today~!
it was the second time i joined in the KL Chapter
of the World Pillow Fight Day.

last year i was a participant..
had to pummel my way thru the crowd...

this year i get to be a Pillow Fight Police!
HOW COOL IS THAT!??!

anyhow,
the thing i love the most about these events is that
i get to meet all the people i dont usually get to see on a regular basis..
the people who i got to noe thru these events RA organised..
good people.

thats Jackie.
shes actually one of the first people i got to noe from RA..
one of the old members of RA i guess..

this is Yun a.k.a. Didi
i got to noe her recently during the EveryoneConnects stint last year..
we were both broomers..
shes a UM student sumore...
hahaha~
(hi YUN! i noe ull be reading this)

this is the team i was suppose to lead..
there's nothin much to lead in a pillow fight isnt it?
u just chose a target and hit as hard as you can...
haha~we were the smallest group out of the 4..
i could see the scared faces when i said we had to go fight with each other...

there was a briefing beforehand,
at a really cool place called otak2..
their menu is in the form of a school notebook.
i actually thought the book was like a free gift or somtin..
i didnt noe it was the menu..
hahah~ silly me.

the police.

the fight.

the mess.

i had so much fun today..
i always do during RA stints..

Main Dengan Rakyat - Part 3

its that time of the month again
when i gather with a group of strangers
(now, everybody there are practically friends after months of playing games together...)

this month we decided to play galah panjang (again!)
we did play this game last year,
when the group was still at the introduction stage
and not a lot of people noe about
Main Dengan Rakyat..

my team won this month!!
after the disappointing outing playing Lompat Getah
2 months ago!
yeay me!
i even managed to score a point for my team!
in the end the score was 2-0.

everytime MDR comes around,
i get reminded of 2 things...
1. the amount of energy one must have in order to play these traditional games, and
2. that im getting older and fatter that i cant run as fast as i used to..

this is me,
dead tired
and wheezing
out of breath.
loser.

come and join the next one!
it will be on the 24th of April
and we're playing Rounders this tyme around..

toodles!

Idealism Vs Realism

when we work,
should we strive for somtin
that is realistic or somtin that is ideal?
who decides whether a certain idea is
idealistic or realistic??

when we were presenting our final portfolio last monday,
we were commented that our plans were a bit idealistic
and they never envision Maran to be developed in such a way..

it may just be a learning exercise but
for a mere student, to be able to create an ideal world where
everything is nice and serene is the best feeling ever...

i do believe so.
no one should choose to live any other way,
and everyone should have a vision on how his future should look like.
i may just a student who has no experience in working as a decision maker,
but i truly believe that anything is possible if we believe in it hard enough.

a lot of people are under estimating
the power of the mind.
if we believe hard enough,
its only time till we'll make it happen.
the mind is a great motivator.
the mind can work wonders.
the mind is the most powerful weapon god have given us.

but progress can only start if we have
sufficient knowledge and wisdom.
owh! and excellent decision makers,
not the kind where they just argue on petty matters in the cabinet..
(sometimes it is painful to watch the things they discuss in the parliament..)
im not saying all the decision makers are incapable,
some are very good,
but
we need the kind who are not afraid to take a chance and move forward.
we need those believe in progress,
as progress will only start if he takes the first step.

yes,
i am an idealistic person.
and i do believe that the world
will be a better place one day.

toodles.

Memories of Planning Studio.


goin thru 3 years of studio
was probably the hardest thing i
had to go thru yet...
i think ive probably lost a few years off
my life due the amount of stress i was
under all thru the 3 years...

but when we gathered together today
as a group to deliver our final portfolio
to our external assessors,
i felt that everybody was just trying to
just enjoy the last day we had together
as a planning studio student.

some of us even stayed till the very end,
till all the presentation boards where taken down
and all the equipments where returned to the office.

its funny tho.
being my last studio,
it came as a suprise to me that i enjoyed it
as much as i did...
i didnt expect to had such a great time
during the site visit,
i didnt expect we could work so well as a group,
and i didnt expect to have such a lovely studio master this sem.
its funy when the best things always comes when we least expect it.

as usual,
pics will always be taken to commemorate the occasion.

we were waiting for the vip's to arrive.
Dato Shahanieza from DUN Kuala Sentul
and the People of Maran

EIE+2 didnt miss the chance to dress up
in matching outfits that we bought together at Sg Petani last year.

always with the jumping pics..

and also the closeup
cute, scary and vain pic.

toodles~
ill miss studio much.
