Things I want to do that would probably waste time and entertain me more than anything else:

1. Make Etsy store account to sell random crap I make (And anything else)
2. Make "multi-purpose" greeting cards
3. Make random words fridge magnet things with additional doodles
4. Probably start drawing again...
5. Most probably start writing again...
6. Probably design some mugs and t-shirts and some prints as well...
7. And Stickers and badges because everyone likes that shit...
8. And finally start illustrating stuff.

I don't know, all these lovely ideas floating around. I feel 2013 is a good year.

Is.
Because law of attraction, yanno?

The Tao of Sha:
(Of which there are five -- Nothing more, nothing less)

Food:
Food is for sustenance, enjoyment, bonding.
Food is culture, limitless experimentation, trial, error, experimentation.
Food is understanding and acceptance of any differences within the confines of ones life.

Friends:
No man is an island.
No man exists in perpetual aloneness.
No man is devoid of company.
But when a person discovers a group he or she is meant to be around and keep in company for as long as he or she can, know that experience and knowledge is only there for both personal and communal gain.

Music:
Notes, stanzas, words, chords, mixing, understanding, amalgamate of amazement. Without sound, without motion, be it kinetic or vibrations, life cannot exist.

Drink:
Impetus for change, for thought.
Aqua Vitae or Liquid courage it matters not.
Passion, adventure, thought and the line of imagination.
To be without is to be devoid of humour and fun but to have too much and without fear of consequence is to forget oneself and to become oblivion.
Hydration is key.

Travel:
Open oneself to the world at large, away from ones creature comforts, ones safe zones.
Arbitrary is the feeling of being kept.
Adventure keeps the spirits alive.

My Friend Is Jeebus (Because I Said So)

I had to write on Wen's wall:

"Can I call you Jesus? You've the Jesus birthday... I'll call you jesus, then you can bless my alcohol, my wheels, my ass and my cats. Amen."

The bad news is, now she likes it and wants it sung as her birthday present.

The worst news is I am REALLY bad at making up happy random songs and then singing it.

But I'll try.

My Friend Is Jeebus (Because I Said So)

A fine Thursday afternoon,

On a shopping mall excursion,

Shir Wen had called me on the phone,

For musical diversions.

I ran through all my contacts,

within seconds in my head,

But that is all irrelevant

In my cranium all was said...

Can I call you Jeebas? You've the Jeebas birthday... 

I will call you jeebas, 

then you can bless my alcohol, my wheels, my ass and my cats. 

You can bless them any day

Amen.

Her birthday's on the twenty fifth

Of the last month every year

That's the same day the Jeebas was born

That much was oh, so clear.

Does that make her like Jeebas, then?

I guess that's likely true

She does have some pretty cool superpowers

Like making random shit look cool.

So,

Can I call you Jeebas? You've the Jeebas birthday... 

I will call you jeebas, 

then you can bless my alcohol, my wheels, my ass and my cats. 

You can bless them any day

Amen.

Okay, no, maybe she can't save you from diseases

And she doesn't have a beard.

But dress her up in sandals and a robes,

She's all Messiah-like, ya heard?

Go Shir Wen,

As Jeebas,

Go Shir Wen,

As Jeebas,

Go Bless things,

In robes-es,

Then use your Grum in Proses.

*grum solo*

The end.

hahahahahahahahahahhahaha...

Pizza crusts and shortcrust pastry... Basically I have problems with pastry so here's Chef John's No-Knead Pizza crust.


yes.

Sometimes I think I don't need to get cats because this boy behaves like an irate cat if I ignore him for too long. You wait la, when I get back to Melbourne I'll never hear the end of it.

David, David, David.
Merapu je keje kau.

On the way back to the car from smokes and Monopoly when suddenly...

*Me about to get off the wheelchair to get into the Sarah's car escorted by Shazam and Junee*

Shazam: 

HAAAAALELUJAH, PRAISE THE LORD IT'S A MIRACLE!

Me: 

WTF HAHAHAHAHA... 

*sits back down, defeated by an onslaught of laughter*

Sarah: 

PRAAAISE THE LORD!

Me: 

LOOORDY LORD, AMEN, AMEN, AMEN...

Sarah: 

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

Shazam: 

*hand outstretched over my head* 

RELEASE THE EVIL, THE POWER OF CHRIST COMPELS YOU!!!

*Bursts of giggle fits, cheek hurting, tummy cramping giggle fits.*

Me: 

Alright, shut up and let me get off this thing.

Sarah: 

Tu la, gelak banyak sangat until she cannot bangun also!

Me: 

I swear to god, the minute I try to get up he's gonna start...

Shazam: 

No, no! I promise I wont! I won't lah...

Me: 

Yeah, I bet. 

*Attempts to get off the wheelchair again*

Shazam: 

LORD HAVE MERCY, IT'S A MIRACLE

*everyone dies laughing*

Except for Junee... She got distracted by a cat... :|

That was the abridged version and actually went on for pretty long... I can't remember the whole thing because I was too busy laughing.

On a shittier note, the USB keys by Pangea Global decided to fuck it and die, effectively consuming more than half of my Thailand trip photos. Innalillah ke photos of Thailand, hopefully this never happens again.

I'm thinking of doing an 'End Of The World' BBQ in my yard and subtext it by saying it's a 'Be Thankful' party where you can sit and say thanks for all the things you have and have done so that even if we died soon (in a few hours 'cos you know, end of the world and all) we'd have lived a life we would be proud of.

I'm so positive it hurts. HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA

December 20th 2012, 8PM onwards, til the morning, and at 11AM,

According to the UTC to GMT converter, the world ends on the 21st of December at 7:11PM in Malaysia. Orang nak balik office... -_______-

Which means the thing should be on December 21st, 6PM onwards until the world explodes. HAHAHAHAHA...

People are breaking up, people are dying. What gives?

Anyway,
I'm in my pajamas and it's almost (only) 10pm. I know, what? Yes, it's 10pm on a Wednesday night, I'm on summer break. No uni, no work, nothing much to do except watch tv and play a few games.

The cat stares at me from it's parking spot at the corner of my carpet. It could be calling me a lazy bastard before giving up and curling into a ball. I am. A lazy bastard. Right now. No lie.

Also, hereby my favourite blog until I probably stop being such a git...

http://myfriendsaremarried.tumblr.com

So much laughing... so much laughing I can't breathe... Or type but I try anyway.

Today I will write on how I feel about being halfway through 25, still in uni and not working and having people getting married/getting engaged/having babies.
I feel... alone.
One day, they might all be married and I have to go out partying... ALONE.
Not that I go out partying but you know, if it just so happens I wanted to (which I highly doubt)... I'D BE ALONE.

Junes just called me a bitter lesbo.
I'm not. I'm a bitter un-lesbo.
Perfectly content in my contentment of liking men... But there aren't any worthy ones as of yet so...

...

...

...

No.

I want to go back to the days where when something broke, people would fix it. When something didn't work, they'd try to repair it, when something was old, they'd just shine it up and put some grease into it. Now, all I see is a bin full of decent things. It makes me weep inside to know that people don't want to try hard enough for things that are worth their every being.

Buy and throw away, that is what the human condition is. I refuse. I resist. I will mend what is broken and keep what is cherished.

I'm halfway done with being 25. Next year I'd be 26. The numbers keep passing by and gaining momentum at each turn. The years flow by so fluid, so swift that I can't do anything but try and catch my breath.

The wind is getting knocked out of me.

I'm not saying this because I'm afraid of getting older, no. I can't wait to be old and start giving less fucks than I do now. I just don't want to go through the anxiety of society telling me it's NOT OKAY to be alone.

Year two, post results out, IS OFFICIALLY OVER.

HAVE AT THEE, YEAR 3!

I have to pack for Thailand.

When money gets the better of you. I'm so glad I have savings to fall back on even if I hate taking money out of savings. As soon as my allowance goes in I'll return it all. And then some! XD

Nasi Kerabu tomorrow, Physio and occu starts on Monday, Thailand in a week, Heading off to the bank on Monday after physio.

Ah, joblessness.

Persuading Grets to go to the toilet to poop like a Vader.

LOOOOOL

Oh damn you lmfao brb

brbrbrb

It's done it's done it's done. All that's left is to hand it up. Yeay!

Now is the time for food and the rest of the Clone Wars before I set out to finish the budget and Tim's recommendation letter. Oh, yes, yes, yes, yes!

Year 3, next year. XD

Now to pack and move... and go home... and eat all the food.

As I sit here, half doing my 3D, half blogging, a quarter waiting for the food to get done, a third worried about when the housemate is going to deposit his cash in my account (because I'm at a deficit starting this morning -- Oh, rent, so expensive), and not really focused on doing much, I have realised that I'm getting a cat upon my return next year. It's set. My brain has made up her mind and I'll be visiting pounds before semester starts.

Things left to do:
1. Tech folio
-- 3D: Mezz facing North, Mezz looking down the stairs to see the kitchen and decking, Living/Kitchen/Dining from whichever direction fits best, WIW to Bathroom,  (I can definitely split this up into two seperate spaces)
 -- All 2D cad (especially the detailing)
 -- specification sheets: materials only, no furniture -- table of contents
2. Move out to new place with joyous glee.

Anyone has any idea on how to train cats to not hunt/dismember/eat pet birds?

Since I have a little bit of time to breathe -- and by a little bit, I mean I spent the whole day (since 9:30AM) wasting time and watching anime -- I think it's a good time as any to tell you about my new place!

Wooden floors, an outdoor deck, a sizable kitchen with SO MUCH STORAGE SPACE OMG! It's a little bit outside the city, kind of like the quiet Old Ampang area with lots of small shops and stuff. I like it. :3 Also, it doesn't come fully furnished so I can have a small bed and giant working tables instead of occupying the space in the living area and making a mess. I'm also doing up the decking as a reading nook and BBQ area for those lovely, warm days, no matter how infrequent they are. Might clean all the rubble from it since it's messy with leaves but I'm already thinking of the furniture placement within the space with a dedicated corner for the TV and PS3.

AND I won't be spending that much on the rent (compared to my current place). two minutes from a train station and a Woollies just at the corner. NAISE.

WOODEN FLOORS OMG.

But the bathroom has a step up at the shower so I need to make little steps to make it easier for me to go up and down. The step-up for the shower is bizarre...

Alright, now back to bizness.

Uni is on its final two weeks, I have a tech folio and a studio folio due ASAP because I'd rather spend my time moving and loafing around because my brain has clocked in to holiday mode and I can't stop it. There's waaaaaaaaaaay too many things going on over summer break.

To do:

- Studio folio
   -- Base plan
   -- Sourcing materials
   -- designing adequate things to project, making 'film' from scratch. This is going to be fuuuuuuun...
   -- designing the booklet that goes with the whole box projector
   -- MOST IMPORTANTLY wtf does it all mean?? (Tie in to Projects 1 and 2, as well as most written docs)

- Tech folio
   -- 3D: Mezz, Living/Kitchen/Dining, Decking, Bathroom to WIW, WIW to Bedroom, look from decking/backyard to inside of the house through the sliding doors (I can definitely split this up into two seperate spaces)
   -- All 2D cad (especially the detailing)
   -- specification sheets: materials only, no furniture
   -- table of contents

Doesn't look like much does it? Well, it is a decent amount of work to be completed within this week starting with the Studio folio. Tech's due on the 7th, thank goodness. AND it means there should be free space in the uni comp labs for me to occupy three or four computers to do super wonderful renders. YUSH!

My cat is going to pass away soon. at 14 years old.
He has feline AIDS and leukemia and there's no way to stop it.
I guess this is what happens when you're king of the hill for so long.

You had a good run, you fat, furry, adorable creature.
If I don't see you and give you a big squeeze before you pass on,
Know that you are the best cat in the world.

:')

WE GOT THE HOUUUUUUUUUUSE! :D

Much excitement! MUCH MUCH EXCITEMENT!

And the big burly tattoo'd fella playing the teenie tiny violin? viola? makes me smile.



Gila comel.
I really can't tell if it's a violin or viola, the fella is a giant! XD
Is he Will Holland? I'm not sure.

I have to do up all the paperwork and email them. Aaaaaaaaaaa...

To-do
- videos and audios for the ting on Friday. Fuck la... -___-

Right,
To-do:

- Glue gun the frames
- Make the backing for the mirrors to be stuck on
- Fishing wire to be arranged like the lines in the dreamcatchers
- Glue the mirror on
- Make it pretty
- Do up the Sketchbook with drawings, small CAD print-outs, photos etc.
- Do CAD drawings and sketches of it

- Rewire the mat, making sure the wires are at a good enough length from the main board
- Make the pressure pads at 40x40mm
- Images of spaces to be photoshopped, printed on paper, laminated

- Buy gluegun gluesticks... Apparently harder than expected.

Done:
Booked appropriate things from the Tech people for Friday 10AM, returned before 4:30PM

50/50 chance in getting the house. Very eksait...
Oh my god I need to sleep. So. Very. Tired!

Here's a fun project to do to hide shit you don't want people to read. :D

Cut mirror
Arrange and glue frames together, might saw it into weird shapes, it depends...
Start playing with the string things and how to get it with the frame so it looks AWESOME.

And that's how Make will be completed before Hand-up next week.
XD
I am also hungry.

Moving of stuff to new house/apartment means I need to find the new house or apartment first.

Cost of monthly Myki... "A 30-day Zone 1 myki pass is $120.60 full fare, $60.30 concession." according to their Twitter reply. Bless Twitter.
Budget for apartment... $350/week maximum.
Moving in with Greta
Doesn't have to be furnished, got a tonne of stuff currently that can be used already.

Gotta learn how to do my taxes so I can get all my taxed money back... I have loads in there that's not supposed to be there. :|

Need to kira duit for household things. haahahahah so many things to procrastinate with.
And do up the kiraduits for the Studio project.

And write down my TFN... I keep forgetting it.

Also, CAD's open. Staring at CADfiles.

Meeting in an hour... -_______-
Meetings with the RUMA exco further affirms my contentment with being on the sidelines in the 'west wing' of an organisation. I'd rather watch and when things go wrong, as they normally do, step up and say a few things before retreating back. I like being Jiminy Cricket.

Aaaaaaaaand it's laundry time... eventually... :|

Chef John, you are amazing. Because of you, I want to make EEEEVERYTHING!

Just two seconds ago, Chicken soup and dumplings. :O
Wah...
Gimme, gimme.

There's going to be an ID workshop in Amsterdam that's we were informed by Suzie about. 400 euros minus getting there and food cost. Should I? Sounds like something I shouldn't miss. My gut is telling me to go GO GO GO!

Wait, Frankie just said it might just be for 4th years.
Dafaq, Suzie?

Im going 3D printer crazy. Seriously.

On a different topic, let's talk about medical sciences. I have just found out this morning that Clinical trials for a drug that can help kids with SMA started phase 1 early this year. YES FOR SCIENCE! But I don't know how long it takes for clinical trials to go through all its phases and get to worldwide sale and use as treatment. I am extremely excited at the fact that I might one day run, jump, play laser tag, cook without help in the kitchen, CARRY MY DAMN (future) SPAWNLINGS, go hiking and spelunking and surf. I AM SO EXCITED!

I'm not going to write everything in caps because it's hard t read but know that I'm very angry and extremely disappointed as I'm voicing this out.

RUMA, the RMIT Malaysian Committee, held a Mooncake festival celebration. And it was shit.

We'll start with the welcoming booth where you pay and collect a sad excuse of a stub called a ticket. I reached the specified location with Meng and stood around looking for a place to register for about five to ten minutes, lost and confused, we peered around and I smiled at a person at the table pretty sure it was where we were supposed to sign up. Apparently, to boothgirl, smiling at her is offensive and she quickly turned away, she even went out of her way to speak with her friend. Boothgirl, I usually tell peple you can't possibly fuck up a booth job but you took the cake. All you had to do was to go to people loitering around the immediate space and ask "Excuse me, are you here for the Mooncake thing?" was that too hard? Do you speak English? AND THEN POINT US TO THE FUCKING RIGHT DIRECTION!
RUMA Boothgirl(s) is fucking thick!

Then I stood around with Meng, whom was also looking bored, trying to pinpoint who were committee and who weren't. Fucking impossible. A simple "Hi, my name is..." sticker wasn't hard, or a band on their arm, or matching coloured shirts, ANYTHING to allow us fellows to figure out who knows shit so we can ask!
President of RUMA is fucking thick.

After a while, like cows, we were herded to the uni canteen (la cantina). I say cows because we were really herded there and there was just shouting, all that was missing is a movable electric fence and/or cattleprods.
The RUMA committee is fucking thick.

In la cantina, the situation was loud, rambunctious and generally feeling like a shitty convention -- not the fun kinds where people are having fun, the kind where everyone is pretentious and one upping each other. Instead of planning for some sort of podium, having a proper welcome speech to greet the newcomers who arrived in time for the move to la cantina, and mostly apologising for the lack of food, The speakers shouted through a megaphone at a us, we were talking, like some sort of dumbfuck who's never been in a public situation and knows how to tune down a crowd before. If you opened your speech and keep talking we would eventualy quiet the fuck down! DON'T EVER BE IN FRONT WITH A MEGAPHONE AND YELL. You're fucking loud enough we just don't think you have the caliber or social grace to give a fucking ear to.
The speakers were fucking thick.

Games. Games are alright during a get-together such as this but fucking get the right games, man! Charades? REALLY? What the fuck kind of childhood did you have anyway? Charades. There are a multitude of ice-breaking games out there and you pick the game that most people are only comfortable doing in front of their close friends? FOR CHRISSAKES! AND! you don't EVER break into specific groups and singly explain the rules you FUCKING ACT THEM OUT AS A TEAM! People learn better watching something being done instead of getting verbal instructions because that is easily forgotten!
Again, the RUMA committee is fucking thick.

We were then allowed to eat. A simple quip on the event page inviting people to hit attend because 'once you have RSVP'd attending you will be given a ticket stub on site to allow yourself to redeem a delicious Malaysian meal!' That's all you fucking thick-knobs had to do. Instead, you opted to inform select individuals (you didn't even fucking use that megaphone, you fuck) that there was a line specifically for stub-holders. I didn't know what was going on and THAT FAT FUCK OF AN EXCUSE FOR A COMMITTEE MEMBER IGNORED ME when I tried to ask what was going on.
The committee and the fat fucking fuck are fucking thick.

FINALLY,
1. My table, with Meng and I, were quickly ignored and we weren't given any mooncakes. FUCK YOU.
2. Nobody went to speak to the side-liners, nobody brought tables together to get to know each other. FUCK YOU
3. We didn't know who the committee were, I would have liked to know who was running this shithole of a committee.
4. You, the RUMA committee, call yourselves the Malaysian representatives in RMIT but you have no social grace, you're rude, arrogant, unwelcoming and about as engaging as chewing tin-foil. FUCK YOU.
Fucking thick fucks.

I AM ASHAMED OF YOU.
I have never seen such dismal organisation before.

No need to be so lansi la kanasai. Party also don't know how to manage.
Score: -5/10. yes, minus five because FUCK YOU.

I'm going to run for the RUMA chair next year and show you fucking freshies how an organisation SHOULD be run. That's assuming it's not a popularity contest and an actual test of who actually CAN and HAS run organisations.

Fellow Malaysians of RMIT, I am your woman, vote for me!

Have bought all the necessaries, and some unnecessaries, Except for fishing wire. The hunt continues... *sadface*

Anyway, made some Aglio e Olio following, roughly, from this lovely video:
http://allrecipes.com/video/789/spaghetti-aglio-e-olio/detail.aspx?prop24=VD_RelatedVideo

Added Black truffle oil and some chunked up deep fried softshell crap and it was DELICIOUS.
and maybe a tad too full.

Classes gone to this week? None. :|

Things to do today:
- Buy KFC for the dinner noms
- Go to the post office to pick up my package
- Buy fishing wire
- Buy mirrors
- Do M&E, Built-in detailing, RCP, Windows and Door Scheduling, Floor and Wall detailing, and part of Plumbing because I don't know where the main pipes are.

Yay for the day:
TIJANA came through and supplied me with, not one, not two, BUT A BAJILLION frames so I can work! Love love love love.

I'm not sure if I can get through all of this, the drawing list for today, but I need to show something next week. Haven't been to tech3 class for four weeks! I am a champion. I also would like to stab my lecturer in the back of the neck with a metal spork. Gila punya jantan. -______-

GE13 has been moved to March so you lot who've not gone to register for voting, please do so at once.

I've got to get details of house things sorted before I leave. Maybe moving in with Grets (she's awesome), maybe moving in with Ry if her housemate leaves. Either way, my shit needs to go into storage.

Quickfire updates, done.

Edit:

Tomorrow
- Buy fishing wire and a glass cutter and sandpaper.I'll just pop down to Hardware Express esok. Have the mirror, gotta cut it into appropriate sizes.

I have decided that I want a 30th Birthday Roast. Yes.
A Roast.

Everyone gets to throw gags and stories for up to ten minutes. I haven't decided on who to let be roasters yet... But Meersy is the Roastmaster. XD

I had this awesome dream that I'm kicking myself trying to remember because it's so fucking awesome. Also, my brain tends to spam faces into my dreams. EVERYONE that I might have seen would be there except for that one or two fellas who I actually want to be there, like that guy who looked a little like Jason Momoa. Holy shit.

This, this was what kept me up til the wee hours and it still wasn't perfect because I needed sleep.



Watching Firefly and omg yes, this show is awesome. Why did I put off watching it for so long?!

Also, Resident Evil: retribution. I liked it. Watch it for the lols, killings and VG fanservice and not for the storyline.

Food, kitchen and bathroom detailing, laundry sets 1 and 2, more detailing work, email

That was the idea but obviously I segwayed into TEDtalks.
Two videos which tickled my fancy has been posted on fb and here's a little bit of internet hell
http://makibox.com
http://endlessforms.com

I sploosh.




Mind. BLOWN.
Also, all this techtalk is making me seriously excited.
An evolved tech/human hybrid. SO COOL OMAIGAHD.
Homo Evolutis.

Brain sex aside, I have realised that in most parts, facebook is a happy medium. I project amazing and happy things. I project an image of wholeness, mirth and is extremely lacking in any emotional strain which I leave out of my online presence except for Twitter.

Twitter is something of a mid-way where I have to censor what I put out or structure the sentences of 140 letters or less in ambivalence and cripticism. Especially when I'm pissed off. This also allows me to learn yto filter my overactive brain full of words and things so that the public isn't too overwhelmed. The internet should be a happy place for my public.

Do not ever think that I live life devoid of any emotion. I just choose not to show it.

I just finished watching a fella playing Amnesia and it is hilaaaaaaaaaaaarious, and because of this, I will attempt to play and finish it when the term is over.

Mid October, I await thee.

OH. MY. GOD. HAIR!
http://www.girlydohairstyles.com/
Makes me want to have a little girl kid but no. I'm not that into hair. They're absolutely lovely though!

Met up with THECLIENT and got to know the project a little better and I'm so mega psyched. Pumped up for mid sem presentation in a week and a half.

Am going to be using The Uptones' tune 'Bested by a Pelican' for that presentation cos it's got so much spunk AND I know how I'm going to animate it. Tomorrow will be the day I start sketching out a few ideas for ES before finalising one major one. A model and a simple projection.

In the mean time, 3D.

Weekend's to-do list, starting from today:
- Evening Timelapse, hopefully we have some amazing skies to take.
- Knittery
- Making of the copper buckles. Have decided to make 6 to 8 pairs of buckles for the knitted wire boot.
- Expanded Screen Idea sketches, brainstorm and clean-up in prep for model-making

Blargh.

I had to strip 10 meters of wire from its casing... to get into the small wires underneath it... It better be HD worthy because I stabbed my finger with the scalpel. It dried off already but it was hella annoying. I know people who would immediately put a plaster on it. Meeeeehhhhhhhh... So hardcore. hahahahahahahahhha...

Have to figure out how to stitch the "shoe"... Hmmm...
I could also use those billion and one plastic bags I have from Woollies as an extra material... It would sound more fun if I didn't have to make yarn from it, though.

Copper, Wire, Plastic.

I need to call QV security tomorrow morning. The intercom has gone apeshit and won't let anyone to my floor. I have to get it fixed before the open house otherwise K3 will have to play bell-boy. Not. Fun.

This update was brought to you by PlanetBoring.

In other news,
life is now a little more lackluster. I dislike this rut. I dislike it most vehemently.

PS... OMAIGAHD IS THAT A DAAAHNASAWRE???



On a final and more amusing note,
You know that thing I do in the flattest most bored voice where I pretend to laugh and it goes something like "AHAHAHAHAHA-HA -HA- HA HA... HA... HA.. HAAA... wait I'm not done yet... HA." Yes, unfortunately K3 and Meng were the recipients of it yesterday.

All I can say right now is "Eugh". Raya is in a week. I have a mountain of things to do. I am also very thankful for the mountain of things to do since it keeps me occupied.

Super simple obligatory Raya Poem 2012

Maaf Zahir and Batin,

Parents, siblings, bibik and cat.

Aunties, Uncles,

Grandmas and Grandad.

Friends and exes,

Enemies.

Those I've hurt without knowing.

Those I've cut off for my sanity.

Again,

Maaf Zahir and Batin.

Hahahaha... Yes, that's it for this year.

Ah, the obligatory Raya poem. It shall be here soon. Soon.

Here's something off the internets for those to-be coffee connoisseurs
http://www.frcndigital.com/coffee/HowToTaste.html

It seems I am suffering ennui...
Ennui definition, for those who don't already know: a feeling of utter weariness and discontent resulting from satiety or lack of interest; boredom: The endless lecture produced an unbearable ennui.

There. Nothing is interesting any more. I remember someone somewhere saying that when you stop feeling joy in life, you might as well be dead. Listening to Alien Ant farm, it injects some semblance of feeling. I feel. Something.

The plan is staring at me in a flat sort of manner. Once that is done, I can move on to the roofing plan and finally, sections and elevations. I have seriously no idea why I'm taking so long. Perhaps life has just ceased to amaze me. Quarter life crisis, I chuckle at how clever I am.

Dave once said that I knew the cafe, and the fellas, more than they know themselves. I smiled but it brought me to what my plans are. I know my want to get into the ID field is fading fast. I could do it until I get bored but I am already bored. Ennui.

Today's mindfuck/nerdgasm is brought to you by I don't know who, nor do I care.
http://www.daybreak2012.com/
SOME. SERIOUS. NERDGASM.
metatron's cube? what?

There's nothing better than finding the perfect tutorial after looking for it for two freaking days.

QC God, Jeph Jacques, has the summation of my brain and feelings from three weeks ago, and it lingers. (http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=2246) Panels 3, 4 and 5 just about said everything I was too chicken to actually say so I took the easy way out. I'm sorry, person. *shrugs* It was fun.

Anyway, presentation today at 330 for The Expanded Screen. Bless me and hopefully we do well enough. :|
Project 1: Trying to figure out the software. Yesh.

So, apparently I am an asshole.

I assure you, I'm not. I don't know what made some people think that. Naturally, they can say it cos they're my closest and dearest... And I love them. Hahahaha...

Today's mindfuck is brought to you by TEDTalks.



The column, halfway finished. 1mm thick slices piled up on one another creating a most intricate structure.

There was a moment this afternoon when I felt like I wasn't really there. I wasn't really in front of the counter at my friends' cafe laughing and sharing wit. Like everything around me wasn't really real. B-grade cinema quality, dim lights, that feeling where you're an overseer -- like in a dream. It was really unsettling for me because I knew it was real, I knew I was there but it's like my soul wasn't. It was terrifying and liberating at the same time.

I am terrified of what's become of negara ku, Malaysia. Tanah tumpah darahku, I would bleed for my country but not for criminals of petty theft. Others have bled and their lives lost because of the lack of care by the government for her people. Corruption. Lies. The greater majority have turned into sheep for slaughter.

I sit here, AutoCAD, a scale ruler, a pen, my phone silent as the night -- oh, where have my people gone. I'd done some CAD things and now I'm trying to find an idea to run with. Anything at all would be a great thing.

I stumbled upon Ashie's blog, Glowdown, and on one of her posts was http://www.artyulia.com
Delicious and vibrant, so titillating was her paper art that it may have pushed me into the direction of paper quilling for my next project. Surely quilling would alow me to adorn the quick idea of a mask/breastplate of paper -- no sequins of course, it's not my style. Paper is such a malleable object!

I am, eventually, going to attempt making Kuih Akok and Onde-Onde...

Akok, which I like to eat straight out of the fridge:
Ingredients:
9 large eggs
1 coconut, extract cream equivalent to 1 bowl
2/3 cup sugar
70-80 gm rice flou
Method:
1. Beat the eggs lightly with sugar
2. Pour in coconut cream and mix well
3. Add in flour
4. Heat the brass mould
5. Spoon mixture into mould and close the lid
6. Remove when cooked.


Onde-onde:
Ingredients:
250 g Glutinous rice flour
200 ml Pandan juice (Blend 10 Pandan leaves with 220 ml water.)
150 g Gula Melaka (Palm Sugar), finely chopped
100 g Grated coconut
A pinch of salt (or sea salt)
Method:
1.In a large bowl, combine the glutinous rice flour with Pandan juice and knead lightly. Pinch a small piece of the dough (about 40 g) and drop it into boiling water.
2.When the dough rises up the surface, remove it with a slotted spoon and shake off the excess water.
3.Mix it back into the main dough and knead well to form smooth dough.
4.Cover the dough and set aside for about 15 minutes.
5.Mix the grated coconut with a pinch of salt and steam for about 2 – 3 minutes and let it cool completely.
6.Bring a pot of water to boil.
7.Pinch a small piece of dough (about 15 g each) and flatten lightly.
8.Fill the center of the dough with gula Melaka.
9.Roll them in your palm to form a smooth ball and cook the glutinous rice balls in the boiling water.
10.When the rice balls float to the surface, remove them with a slotted spoon and shake off the excess water.
11.Coat the rice balls with grated coconut and serve immediately.
______________________________________

If this works, you can expect some to be served on the day of my open house because I'm lovely like that. AND Sirap bandung because it's awesome.

Rest easy that the obligatory Raya poem will make an appearance eventually, fasting started out well but I still need to drink more water.

Things to do:
- Source out Some cartoony photos of a bunch of characters and some topography maps for The Expanded Screen (ES)
- Do all ES readings in prep for Tuesday's class.
- Buy a sketchbook for Make and start sketching things
- Sketch out idea for the 'paper' portion of Make and hopefully not get overambitious
- Design two different ideas for the same house, zoning, examples of images and types of materials to use for the house for Light Trap (LT).

Really, now that I've written all those tasks down, it's not that much of work actually...

P/S, today's mindfuck is brought to you by AntiVJ


EYJAFJALLAJÖKULL from Joanie Lemercier (AntiVJ) on Vimeo.

I had done this little ditty on the plane because I was woken up rudely by sudden lights and food. Which I did not eat. So, naturally, I got quite annoyed.

___________________________

If one pauses to think about the modes of transport, the world is rather quite smitten with air travel which honestly is just a glorified cattle truck to take a person from point A to point B. I say cattle truck because that's what the economy class is all about. It matters little if the branding of such transport is considered 'low-cost' or the average, each-country-has-a-goddamn-airline deal. A cattle-truck is a cattle truck.
Being sucker punched by bright, white lights in the middle of sleep is the least of your problems and if you're a heavy traveller with a large amount of travel points in your little shopping cart of been-there-done-that, you're probably mastered the art of a. keeping yourself busy and b. sleeping in awkward positions which would probably cause you a fair amount of bullshit when it comes to medical bills but I digress. The lovely art of dozing off in relative discomfort -- albeit before being jolted awake by the coming of the food cart. Actually, I might still be a little miffed about being woken up.

I think, if I had to take a little gander at what the whole shebang must've sounded like if it was put in short bursts off words punctuated by swearing it'd sound like:
GOOD MORNING YOU LITTLE FUCKERS, WE HAVE FOOD, YOU LIKE FOOD! HERE! HAVE SOME BLINDING LIGHT TO GO WITH THIS LOVELY ANNOUNCEMENT! YAY OMG!

Good lord. If I'd had a go at everything. And I still need new headphones.

_______________________________

Moving on.

I'm safely back in Melbourneland of sejok and senang. Paid the water bill, unpacked stuff and put some away but I've still a few things to put away but I have neither the want nor the tenacity at the moment. I would rather sit here and type in my most morose of moods.

A most interested post surfaced on my Facebok feed last week. It had said:

Bad grammar aside, it's quite true. Human nature is such that we've begun to hide away our true emotions in the opposite display because we, I, have decided that real emotions are too complex and disturbing for everyone to simply know about. One has to be in the thick of it to know anything I am feeling and so a close knit of people are held near and dear with my secrets.

I'm sneezing a lot right now. I hate the cold. Really. Another few months of solid labour... FOR THE PARENTS! I could just live with a pass.

I have issues when it come to toilets/bathrooms. I don't like wet toilets. I do't like smelly toilets. I don't like steps and random level changes in toilets.

Anyway, got back from Redang a couple of days ago and I must say, the trip was delightfully fruitful. It wasn't one of those meandering lepak sessions, more of a proper diving trip. Did one shore dive on Friday and three boat dives on Saturday. Big BIG BIG ups for the blokes who were dive-mastering. I can't remember what their names were (because I'm heinous criminal when it comes to remembering names) but those two shall henceforth be known as botakman and bleachguy.

Bleachguy was trip's diving hero. He was the one lugging me around on his back like a suitcase. A pretty heavy suitcase. In and out of the water, in and out of the boat. And I made some acquaintences with other divers as well. Most from KL. Kepong though. So the chances of meeting them again is slim to none.

Other heroes of the trip would be the pack of guys, and one girl, I went with. Big, big ups to you guys too! I scarcely know you but y'all made the trip easier. A+ for effort.

Back on the home front, I think mom's gotten pretty proud of my headstrong d everything and anything I want attitude. It may still bring her large amounts of anxiety but I am what I am and there's no running away or changing that.

Until the next post.

Typing here on my new Asus Transformer Pad, after a hearty meal of homemade tacos (recipes for the whole shebang, below). The Transformer Pad is awesome! A worthy replacement to my old Vaio netbook which is around 8 years old and behaving terribly. I'm slowly putting all the important softwares in the form of apps into it so I can quickly access it when I have a pretty good idea. I probably need to wipe out everything in the other computer before I hand it over to the fatherling.

I'm in the midst of packing for the Redang trip which I'm leaving for tomorrow night. 4 dives for the weekend, or 3. Depending on how I feel. I haven't met up with my grandmum and I've got a dinner with my grandad and uncle FH since he's back from London. Such a sweet old man. Hopefully the dinner with my grandfather will mean the confirmation of my club membership... Aaaaaaand that made me sound like a brat. Hahahahaha...

Now, the recipes below are pretty much only for me to remember what I had put in because I have a habit of cooking blind and realising later, after eating the delicious edibles that I'd probably would want to make it again. The tacos come in a few parts, most of which require preparation, especially the Chili con carne which tastes better when left overnight to let the flavours merge.

Sha's Chili Con Carne:

4 tbsp cumin powder
1 tbsp cintan manis (I have no idea what this spice is in English)
3 tbsp chili powder
1 tbsp paprika powder
1 tbsp Cayenne pepper
2 tbsp cacao powder (give or take)
1 tsp instant coffee (for a secret kick)
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp dried thyme
1 stick cinnamon
a few habanero peppers, cut, blended or left whole, whatever tickles your fancy
a bottle of pickled jalapeno peppers, sliced

2 cups white onion
1 cup red onion/shallots
3 to 4 cloves of garlic

1kg fatty beef, cubed or ground
2 cans of kidney beans
1 can of other beans, I don't know what the white ones are called.
250g canned chopped tomatoes or tomato puree
salt to taste

Epic Tomato Salsa:

5 chopped tomatoes
1/2 red onion blended to a paste
1/4 cup pickled jalapeno peppers blended to a paste
1/2 lime juice, give or take
1 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
salt to taste

Delicately nommy Guac:

2 ripe avocados
1/2 red onions blended to a paste
1 tsp pickled jalapeno peppers blended to a paste
2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro
1/2 lime juice, give or take
salt

Other stuff to prep for tacos:
Taco shells, sour cream, thinly sliced lettuce

Usual posting will resume in KL. See you soon MADAFAKAS!

Mo posted this onto her FB feed  (http://goinswriter.com/writing-voice/) and I thought I'd answer a few questions before starting tonight's Lace sketch and then going to bed. I'm not a writer or anything but I find these questions alluring to that self-absorbed part of me who thinks I'm a writer.
Some will be answered eventually when I have time to think about it.

Describe yourself in three adjectives.
-Witty -Random -Awesome
Ask (and answer) the question: “Is this how I talk?”
Yes, Yes this is how I talk.

Imagine your ideal reader. Describe him in detail. Then, write to him, and only him.
My ideal reader is amazingly worldly, intelligent and completely non-judgemental. When he reads what I write he imagines everything in detail, if there's no details he'll make it up and laugh at his cleverness. He reads my words with a cup of coffee while he's either sitting in awe or amusement. His name is probably Steve.

Jot down at least five books, articles, or blogs you like to read. Spend some time examining them. How are they alike? How are they different? What about how they’re written intrigues you? Often what we admire is what we aspire to be.
I'll cut to the chase: I read when the writer is tongue-in-cheek yet serious, witty, not demanding, fun, quick and important. (tbc)

List your favorite artistic and cultural influences. Are you using these as references in your writing, or avoiding them, because you don’t think people would understand them?
Robot Chicken, Everything pop culture pre 1995, English Wit (because it's just so lovely), Stephen Fry who is a genius, Garfield (because for a while, the obese cat had it going on), Everything. I like everything because everything makes life life. Except pop music and pink.

Ask other people: “What’s my voice? What do I sound like?” Take notes of the answers you get.
This has no relevence to me.

Free-write. Just go nuts. Write in a way that’s most comfortable to you, without editing. Then go back and read it, asking yourself, “Do I publish stuff that sounds like this?”
Toto bumped his head on the wall once. It hurt just like he knew it would. It was day three since he was changed from a being of pure light to this monkey in a suit. Thanks, dad.


He was so arrogant that day as to shout to his heavenly father, his creator, that he was his best asset. A being who did not falter in the face of duty. If it had to be done, it had to be done. In hindsight, he probably shouldn'tve made such a bold declaration. Dad can be a bit of a dick sometimes.

-- I actually do publish lots that sound like the abovewritten. I call them 'brainfarts'.

Read something you’ve recently written, and honestly ask yourself, “Is this something I would read?” If not, you must change your voice.
I would read it a million times over. I actually enjoy my brainfarts, even if it gets a little bit too ludicrous.

Ask yourself: “Do I enjoy what I’m writing as I’m writing it?” If it feels like work, you may not be writing like yourself. (Caveat: Not every writer loves the act of writing, but it’s at least worth asking.)
Because I don't write for cash, and most of what I write is drivvel anyway, it's a damn blog, it doesn't need substance. I love writing!

Pay attention to how you’re feeling. How do you feel before publishing? Afraid? Nervous? Worried? If so, you’re on the right track. If you’re completely calm, then you probably didn’t risk being vulnerable. Try writing something a little more dangerous, something a little more you. Fear is good.
I dont think this is relevent to me either... *shrugs*


The End.

The 3 3D images for the final presentation.

Chun tak?

In no real way is this totally fake Energy Bar endorsed by MONSTER Energy Drink.

MalamButa sketches for last night... well... Early this morning, more like.

Okay, now I photoshop the renders to make it look aaaawesome.

It's set, my final presentation is at 12PM on Friday. 20 Minutes long. I'm guessing 10 to 15 for talking and 5 for Q&A.

Right now I'm waiting for my renders to finish while I play the pokemans... Because... well, I'm that bored. There's not much on the internet anymore and I've finished watching That 70s Show and I needed a distraction that wouldn't crash the computer while the render was on. XD

To do for Syn:
- Do about 3 renders
- Photoshop finished Renders with MONSTER logo on the floor and people silhouettes
- Record bar sounds (people ordering drinks etc)
- Turn recording into amazing particle waves for play during presentation
- Ponder the contents of my 15 minute presentation and prepare for Q&A
- Final Syn portfolio arrangement done
- Print and send to Ross.

The end of this slacky-ass term will be savoured. I have to really, REALLY get my mind around more things to do next term.

First thing I do when I get back home to JAH, KL:
Cat mauling
Pizza
Hot 45 minute bath with scrubbing and chilling and napping with bubbles (I should buy this Immersion water heater for the tub)

To do, things:

- Heat up soup for lunch with some pasta
- Write 1k word reflection and send it to Trish
- Compile all hand-inables for Louis
- Burn CD for Mike (finally) and send it to his Japanese address with the T-shirt.
- DO STUDIO...
   -- Set up 3D scene and render, HD, at uni
   -- Presentation pieces
   -- Rationalise every tiny point because every point will be questioned so specifically and would probably make me weep after the presentation because it wasn't answered or presented appropriately.

- Write emotionally charged something on the other blog.

The entire QotSA discography is now mine to consume... bwahahahahaha!
I still think that Lullabies to Paralyze is their best album to date.

I... I have nothing to say... :|

Why must I need plugins to make it look cool??? WHAAAAAAAAAAI!

Wait... I must music...
Tenacious D FTW... Oh, and cake.

Anger gone, replaced with ultimate random epic joy.

Lol, so music is still on and Kazzer and I are talking about boobs. Yes.
No, I'm not secretly a dude living in some old lady's basement. Ew.

I might be able to tweak CC Particles to do my evil video-editing bidding.

Also talking about being on the rag and I came up with this little ditty:

IMAGINE 

the entire universe,

just before the big bang. 

A steaming stew of angry nebulae, 

hot and fluid, compressed 

and oh, so tired of proximity. 

Now

imagine putting all that

into a tiny frame:

Woman.

Run. Run like hell.

I is genius.

It's about 8 degrees out, I thank the many factors for ending me up in my current apartment which isn't drafty and overly cold. I thank profusely. I forgot where my train of though was going with that... So... Yeaaahhh...

Fuck this shit, I'm going to hide under my blanket.
>:C

It could possibly be 'Piss Me Off' week here in the lovely land of Getting-Quite-Cold...

With a multitude of cancellations and such. I have not known such an aggravating week. I should also probably get back to the uni to check on my renders.

Just in from the desk of the self-dubbed Menace to Society... Jermy-jerm:

Police: I bagi you saman ah?
I: Okay.
Police: Betul ah?
I: Okay.
Police: You kerja apa?
I: Student.
Police: I sekarang bagi you saman ah?
I: Okay.
Police: Tak pe lah.Bagi you chance.Nanti bagi you saman,you takde duit bagi,you student mia pasai.
I: Okay.
lemma they mindfucked me...

OMG MEGA-MEGA LOLS.
The popos cari duit rasuah tak jadi because 'Okay.'

I made the cover of Communications Design Exhibition's Invitation cards and probably also the poster. XD
It's pretty enough to be a postcard says Louis.
hahahahaahahaha...

What they didn't do right is my surname.
-______________-

So, I am finished, in part, with History theory 3. The only things left are 1) to create a 15 minute presentation to be presented to a bunch of people at the end of the semester. The whole presentation is going to be about 10% of my final mark... and 2) 1000 word reflection piece which is like what? That's another 10% too.

So now I have to do up a presentation for Syn class. The concept presentation is tomorrow and I have to kill it.

Mum is pushing for Istana Kelantan's relocation to our Mengkebang Estate. She found a site on a hill and it's a pretty sweet spot. What I want to know is why the men in my family refuse to accept the Istana as a heritage building. I mean, for chrissakes! They've sold the land for pointless pennies!

THAT'S MY FUCKING HERITAGE!

Me: Well, what does Ninda Ki say?

Mom: He is very okay with it since he was the one who suggested it!

Me: Doesn't he then trump Uncle Na and Uncle Man since he's older?

Mom: :| No... He's from a different family, this is Ninda Puan's side!

Me: Ohhhhhhhhhhh... I forgot. :|

... On a more selfish note... I wonder if I can be part shareholder... :|
I think I should start thinking of taking over the family affairs. Their fiascos sound like too much fun to miss out on. Yes, I'm one of those people who live for interesting causes... Mostly selfish under the pretext of good-will but when are self pursued causes ever unselfish?

Reeeeeelaaaaaaaax...

The Annotated Bibliography takes an hour to do and then I have to think of the "Through Design" bit and figure out how to bullshit my way through the 15 minute presentation to my peers. fahk.

I mean, it would take an hour to do if I didn't get distracted every 20 seconds.

Oh! Lookie what I found while trolling the internets for my name...
http://kevan.org/johari?view=Aishah%20Roose
http://kevan.org/nohari?view=Aishah%20Roose

JOhari is good stuff and NOhari is the bad stuff. I can't believe I forgot this! XD



Flash Countdown

My fixed daily agenda:
Wake up, text Dave for the daily special or new items or other cafe updates to be posted on Twitter and Facebook, update twitter and Facebook, other stuff.

Here I am, today,trying to finish writing the essay. I have breached the world limit and I've only begun to hit he nail on the head of the whole project.

Cepatlah habis so I can start the stupid annotated biblio... :C

Ended at 3500+ words. Gila.

Short version: Can you MAKE the viewer do what you want, feel what you want and stuff? Maybe.

Annotated bibliography should be started soon... as is the last bit with Through design. Meh.

-____________-

And the 15 minute presentation to our peers. DOUBLE MEH!

Renders S1Y2

This is what I've been slaving away at the uni for.

Aww yeaaahhh the renders are done. :D

NowI can do my Syn and History... History... Oh, God, why?
D:

'For Design' is finally finished, am now taking a breather on a Saturday morning while I troll the online library for reference books so I can start writing the 3k word essay. Finding references in a library is like looking for a needle in a pile of needles. There's so many of them but you can't seem to find the few perfect ones.

And then I find four and hopefully they'll still be there when I go get them tomorrow.

There's thoughts of me doing a series of moving images with monotonous verbal accompaniment or faceless interviews of people describing emotions when they're subjected to colours. It's much more straight forward and investigative than doing a mock-space which doesn't exist and coming up with bullshit stories to supplement it to make it of substance.

Bathroom/Shower thinking is in order. I away and return shortly.

Oh, just found out that Adam Yauch passed away at 47 from cancer. :(
I grew up with Beastie Boys.
It's horrible when you see stuff you grow up with start to disappear and be replaced with shittykaka stuff.

MEGA MEH.

Updates:

Redang is on.

Tickets back to Melbourne are underway, processed by the faja.

KL misses me too.

Rendering is still bapak lama nak siap but it's nice!

Books to be gotten either this afternoon if I can be fucked to get it or tomorrow.

Tomorrow is rendering di uni day.

I could start on the essay now and figure out how to format it.

Updates on Syn class:

BAPAK BANYA KERJA.

End of Sem will be the production of a zine-like thing. I have to make it awesome. HAVE TO.

Oh, and laundry time!

P/S
Coming back to this post hours later to say that computer has decided to give up. FINALLY.
I will be at uni for all the renders. (Y)
and this made me giggle.

XD

And this made me go "WAAAAAAAAOOOOOW...


XD That is some mad sugar skills, yo.

Awsnap. So many words to write, so little weekend to write them.

First off: "For Design" to be finished tonight. Robert Irwin, Olafur Aliasson and Miroslaw Balka.

THEN: Overnight occupy Uni for 3 HD renders and essay time with snacks an other accouterments.

AFTER: "About Design" Mini folio with floor plan, several renders and  a brief explanation.

It's six degrees and I'm huddled in a jumper and an electric blanket.

I've decided to blog because I just had a really good steak with a lovely Pinot Noir at The Squire Loft and it's cold and I'm procrastinating and it's too early to sleep. I could do work early tomorrow.

I went to sleep early last night thinking that I was going to wake up at a decent hour but lo, the sun did not wake me and the skies were moot and cloudy. The air was chill and everytime my eyes did peak, I thought it was still 7am. When I finally checked my phone to see who loved me and left texts, I realised it was 1:30PM. Or, in French it would sound like "Il est tres heures trente". Jumped out of the bed and had a long, hot shower.

The French oral test was fine. I have a lovely teacher so she didn't mind as much. I really need to practice the etre and avoirs. Ah, language. So complicating.
