Friday, December 31, 2010 / The Year 2010
Let's do what I always like to do before the year ends which is summarizing the year 2010 and highlight the best moment(that I remember) in that year. So, let's go!
1# My internship at MYC!
This is my first time working in a real working environment so it is a real eye-opener for me. Gaining new experience and learning new stuff(hey, i sort of know how to use a fax machine). And it is a plus to work with awesome people and awesome intern friends. It definitely make all the hard work worthwhile. Food, movie, events and outings are unavoidable =D
2# Meet up with my high school BFF!
To find a true friend is hard. But I'm lucky to have a friend who will always be there for me and understand me. Have a chance to meet up with Esther who came back from Perth to KL for holidays.(Of course, not forgetting meeting up with Hui Rin and Yu Liang[both my high school friends])
3# Having my work displayed at Graphic Design Showcase 2009 @ UTAR, PJ
Never have the chance to exhibit my artwork before(ok. so it is an exhibition for my university only. but still. haha). Not just one artwork, but three! I may not be a talented and brilliant artist but I am still learning.
4# Love for live comedy show
After being treated to the first live local comedy show by my boss during internship, i'll have to say i'm hooked! Went to a few show this year @ PJLA Theatre, Jaya One.
5# Got my driving licence!
What more can I say? Ecstatic much! Although getting one at 23 is a bit, ehem, well, old *cough*.
6# Clinique Star Tour
I never thought I got the chance to join this. Well, okay, I can join it because I'm one of the bloggers. Went there as a lone ranger, I knew it would be fun to have some friends to join something like this together. But unfortunately, I don't have close friends who are into this kind of thing.
7# Final Year Project
Whenever I heard this word, I got freaked out. It has been torturing my mind, my body and my soul. Eventhough I got an A for my component I and II, I'm not confident at all for component III after getting bad feedbacks from those brilliant panels. Bummer.
8# End of My University Life
It is suppose to end with a happy note. But it is not. Will let you guys know the whole story soon.
Well, that's all for my list this year :)
Hoping next year will be a blast!

Christmas is here again.
Even though I didn't celebrate Christmas, it is one of my favorite season of the year.
I love Christmas decorations and ornaments.
Can't help but being happy and joyous with the atmosphere.
If only it snows here.
It will be awesome to build a snowman eh?
Have the chance to go to MidValley this month.
The deco are awesome with big teddy bears and toys.

My new bestfriend! He is amazingly big and tall!
The below pictures are taken with my handphone.
Didn't bring my camera out that day.
So the quality is not that great.
Me jealous! Teddy's leg is even loooongeeer than mine.
There is something fascinating about gingerbread man.
I always like the story of gingerbread man.
Eventually it will be eaten by someone anyway.
Merry Christmas, everyone :)

Wednesday, December 22, 2010 / Happy Winter Solstice
Happy Winter Solstice Festival!
This year, I am lucky enough to eat glutinous rice balls(or also known as "tang yuen" in Mandarin).
It is a Chinese dessert.
Used to have my late grandma cooked handmade glutinous rice balls for us.
With pink and white color glutinous rice ball.
Ever since I moved to KL, I have never eat rice balls at this particular day.
My mum doesn't really concern much about festive this kind of thing.
So, fortunately, this year my friends cooked for us to eat together.
Even though it is ready-made rice balls, but it still brings us the same feeling of joy.
Thank you Jason and Bear.
Big and round rice balls!

Tuesday, December 14, 2010 / You've Got Mail
Received a little surprise this morning when I received a mail from Japan.
Before anyone get confuse, let me explain what happened earlier.
So, during the month of June this year, I have joined 2010 International Essay contest for Young People organized by The Goi Peace Foundation UNESCO.
The theme for the essay is "My Role In Creating a Peaceful World"
I was just trying my luck and I don't expect to win.
I still didn't win in case you are wondering lol.
So, I was kind of surprise when I got mail from The Goi Peace Foundation this morning.
The letter
It traveled through air! This got me really excited. Sounds silly right? But this is my first time receiving a letter via air mail. ROFL
My certificate for participation.
Doesn't it look like a cheque to you? Haha.
With the sticker I got in the mail.
"May peace prevail on earth" - that's their slogan.
Peace!

Monday, December 13, 2010 / A Dream

Just the other day, I had a really bad dream.
I know this is weird but I dreamed that I was dead.
I was walking on the street but nobody can see me.
Except a few people which I don't know why.
I even asked those people that can see me, what if I'm dead?
I don't think I get any feedback.
And then I was trying to retrieve how I died in the dream.
But dreading it at the same time.
I was actually being shot.
I could feel the pain when the bullet went through my stomach.
I can feel the pain in my freaking dream!
What the hell...
I was really scared when nobody can see me.
Walking past me like I'm not there at all.
I think this is the first time that I dreamed of being murdered.
Maybe this is what my self-conscious is trying to tell me.
How I feel sometimes.
Being treated like somehow invisible.
Oh well.
It's just a dream.

Thursday, December 9, 2010 / End of My University Life
So, it's official.
This is the end of my university life.
Okay, not quite there yet since I still have to sit for one last paper on 20th Dec.
When I first enrolled at UTAR, I thought 3 years will be a very long period to go.
But, hey, here we are.
3 years just whoosh by.
I make a lot of friends, and at the same time make a lot of enemies.
I am really thankful and grateful to have friends who are willing to help me throughout these years.
My student life will end soon.
I can no longer called myself a student *eeeek!*:S
Of course I am quite terrified of what lying ahead of me and what the future holds for me.
I am just hoping to make the right decision and going to the right path.

Monday, December 6, 2010 / Final Year Project Presentation
What a screw up!
On last Friday, it was my final year project presentation.
I thought they are going to invite people from outside to judge our work (like they said apparently)
I was feeling so darn nervous.
But guess what.
The people who is going to judge our work are actually the lecturer/tutor in UTAR. LOL.
There are two sessions(morning and afternoon).
The afternoon session consists of 3 people. (I will not be naming names here. If you wanna know, just pm me lol)
Woah, the criticism were really great.
I think they were really rude.
Mostly two of them anyway.
Some of my friends showed their TVC halfway and they just LAUGHED in their face before the TVC even ended. Uhm great?
They just laughed or just stay speechless after seeing your work.
If it is too basic, they will said you are playing safe and it does not look fantastic.
If it is too complicated, they will find something to make it not right to be there.
If it is too dull, they will said why not make it more colourful.
If it is too colourful, they will said it is all over the place and stuff.
They didn't even give positive comments, the only nicest thing I heard were "Quite nice."
The most harsh comments I heard were "That's terrible" and "It is even worse than an amateur's work."
Seriously, one of the worst day ever.
I mean, my supervisor approved my work and everything.
Now this two tutors who are not even supervisor for our batch critic us.
They don't even know our ideas, they don't even know our component I and II.
So in the end of the day, I was feeling so shitty.
Cause my website and TVC received negative comments(as can be seen below).

Yeah. Apparently "he" used this paper to leave us comments.
Apparently we are the first batch to have this kind of presentation.
This sucks.
Like my friend said, you cannot said that someone's work is terrible.
If you are the judges for American Idol, okay you can say that because singing is something that you are born with.
But design and shooting tvc and building website are skills that you learn in time.
They only teach us the basic of flash.
And they expect us to do like a professional.
TVC and website in 7 weeks time were crazy especially if you are not that familiar with Adobe Flash or Adobe After Effects or Adobe Premiere Pro.
So I did a background check on the panels.
The woman who laughed at students' work.
Master of Social Science, Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia ( Communication Management )
Bachelor of Applied Arts (Hons), Universiti Malaysia Sarawak ( Fine Arts )
(Since you laughed so much and critique so much, can you teach me how you design a website and TVC?)
The guy who laughed at student's work like really loudly.
Master of Computer Science, Universiti Putra Malaysia
Bachelor of Multimedia (Hons), Multimedia University ( Software Engineering and Games Design )
(Woah. Since you was really rude, can you teach me the same thing too? Or do you only know how to design games?)
Another panel was from here. (but since he didn't laughs like both of the above, I forgive him. haha)
Bachelor of Arts, Curtin University of Technology ( Design )
So I did a background check on the panels.
I mean, if you want us to produce great stuff, teach us something. We have to self-learn by searching for online tutorials.
It is not that I can't accept criticism, but please do it in a right way.
Too bad my last sem ended on a bad note.
What a great way to end my uni life.
Argh.
