Recap II

And now for a recap of last Friday~

As usual, I spent most of the day sleeping... Till around 3pm again I think. When there's nothing to wake up to, I tend to just sleep in as long as I can. A small gathering with the girls was planned for the evening. Headed out to IOI Mall's Starbucks to gather as planned. Most of them were late. Only Choo Yi came on time. Miraculously I was the first to arrive! Waited till around 6.15pm before Jia Wen arrived. When it was close to 6.30pm, Sui Yuan and Soo May finally arrived and we got ourselves some Starbucks drinks! The Java Chip from this branch tasted better! As compared to the branch at Setia Walk and Sunway Pyramid. I got myself a Caramel Ribbon Crunch, for the fourth time in a row. One per week.

We sat at Starbucks and chatted a while before starting to plan where to have our dinner. Swee Li and Yann were done with their work so we met up with them at Puteri to discuss where to have our dinner. We ended up at Mr Dak-galbi at Setia Walk after sitting in the hour for close to half an hour. When we were about done with our dinner, Shu Mun and Jacklyn joined us. As usual, we would head up to TGV Cinemas' waiting area to slack and chat. The air conditioner was faulty I think since it was quite warm when we reached there. So we decided to move to another place to continue chatting. We went to the Puteri branch McDonalds. Sat there for about an hour before we finally part our ways. It was well over 1am when we left.

When I got home, I started regretting a lot that I didn't plan my outfit the night before. I mean originally I wanted to dress differently for our next gathering but it seemed like not a lot of us were able to make it to the gathering so I simply got dressed and left. Sigh. Such regret. I needed the extra opinion thingies from the girls. Urgh. Bah.

Less enthusiastic post I know. The hyper feeling has gone. Probably thanks to several unhappy things that happened today. I know not many recognize the newest username I use but still.. Sigh. It still upsets me when she forgets me. Even though I've been well prepared that one day she'd forget me too. The hurt would've been less if she had forgotten me before her birthday last year. Well at least she's happy. Oh well. She dyed her hair purple. I planned to dye mine purple since months ago and hopefully no one's gonna say I'm trying to copy her. I've wanted purple since forever please.

One other thing I realized though, is that looking at photos of Benedict Cumberbatch does calm me down. I feel much more relaxed after seeing photos of him while scrolling through my Facebook timeline. :) Sometimes new photos of Jamie Campbell Bower works too!

On to Saturday! The day I made some croquette! ♥

Was planning to wake up earlier and leave the house earlier but ended up sleeping in till close to 12pm. Got ready and left the house in a rush. Luckily by the time I reached OTK, they just got done paying. When we got to Kim Foong's house, we started helping out by 'peeling' potato skins~ I sucked at it! We then mashed the potatoes after boiling them~ After mixing the other ingredients with potatoes came the shaping process! It was messy yet fun! I like it a lot when I get to roll the croquette in the bread crumbs pile! Me, Choo Yi and Yann waited as Kim Foong fry the croquettes~ IT WAS DELISH! DELICIOUS YUMMY HEAVENLY! If only I could have more of it for myself! :P

We left soon after the croquettes were done cause Kim Foong had her violin lesson. Brought back 6 pieces of croquette~ ♥ Really wish I could bring back more ;w; Pretty much ate only croquette for the whole day. Brunch and dinner. Have some pictures~

Doesn't sound as enthusiastic as I thought it would be. Oh well. Still not in the mood I guess. Ciao~

30th April 2014.

The last day of college~ It's also the last "presentation" we have in college. Apparently they said we'd at least have to be dressed in casual formal but I went in full casual. It's the last day yo and I dressed in a way I never did for the past 2 and a half years. Then again it was just a normal casual outfit in their eyes. Not to mention it's also the last we'd gather there as collegemates as most of us are graduating. It's probably the last few times I'd get to see him too. Back to the night before! I helped Harry and Kenny to print out their post mortem report for their respective Final Year Project. When I gave Harry my email address, he noted the "ro" and said his previous email address had a "ro" in it as well. And I told him it's gonna sound really kiddish if he's still using that email address now. We and our respective love for RO ♥ I told them I'd help them print for a cup Starbucks and they agreed immediately. (only for me to find out later on that if they printed their report outside, it would cost them more than a cup of Starbucks!!) RAWRRRR oh well........ I arrived at college about 15 minutes late and apparently they were all at the printing shop.......... Okay no wonder no one was telling me to get there sooner. In the end they got "scolded" by someone cause they were very very late. I was sorta excluded cause that someone never knew I was with them the moment I left the college floor. Bless me.

Skip all these unhappiness shall we! Let's go back to the printing shop part. (since we did spent like an hour there!) ALL OF THEM WERE DRESSED IN FORMAL CLOTHES! Like I'm the only one among the 10 of us who was wearing full casual! Ahh the last time to see the guys dressed formally. Then again there wasn't any suits. Photographers rarely wear suits I guess? Somehow we ended up talking about how late we were and reached the "I only wore my shoes after I parked my car" part. Then I mentioned I only wore my shoes properly while pointing at the straps of my shoes after reaching college and dropping my artworks. Harry then said : "No wonder you seemed taller today! It's your shoes!" Pfft please. I know you're above average height and I'm not. Pfft. At some point while waiting, he asked for my cell again. HE SERIOUSLY NEVER BOTHERED TO REMEMBER THE PIN. OKAY FINE. After at least 3 times he still couldn't remember the pin. He said "There's too many passwords to remember! Tell me the 4th time pleaseee" Like what the hell! Then again I unlocked it for him. And showed him the pass again. Not that he'd need to remember it anymore. It's probably the last time he'd ask for my cell anyway. He saw the video I took back in January(?) for one of ChurpChurp's campaign thingy. I sorta tried to stop him from watching but he did anyway. I didn't see his reaction tho boohoo. Sigh. For the sake of money. The eye meet eye giggle happened half way through our "presentation" session. Sigh. Yeah I know I skipped from the printing shop all the way through presentation session. Who cares.

After the whole "presentation/discussion" thingy, it's finally brunch time! Proper brunch time at least? Since most of us skipped breakfast or so I heard. Sadly he didn't get to try the sandwich I brought. Egg + Potato sandwich! Much yums! While waiting for Kenny and Harry to settle some "business", I sat at Chatime. When they came back, I held out my hand and Harry knew I was asking for my Starbucks! Kenny saw and gave me his part as well. At that point I still thought they were joking.... Oh well should've asked for two each instead! Due to someone's "budget", we ended up at Mc Donalds. BUT! Kenny mentioned it's pass 3pm meaning no more lunch deals so we headed to Sushi King instead! Kenny preferred Sushi King after 3pm anyway. Due to the 3pm - 6pm Happy Hour thingy. So we ended up at Sushi King again~ Harry sorta regretted dining at Sushi King cause every time he dines there, he's gonna end up spending a lot as compared to other places. "每次一进来一张50块就飞掉了" His words. I asked him how to pronounce his name in Chinese and I vaguely remember what he said. “石传亮” I know the surname is correct but not sure about the first name. My brain sucks! Couldn't mark it down on time.

He mentioned he wanted to get a new mouse that's like RM200 and I asked if he's getting Razer or Steel Series or that sorts to end up getting a Logitech..... I thought you were getting a gamer mouse?! Then somehow I talked about the Tron Set I won and as all the others who heard me talking about this, wanted it. I think I said something like "wait for your birthday I might" he said "sure I'll wait." At some point he mentioned he would like to travel (or immigrate I forgot) to Japan and/or Korea one day. While mine is Japan and London. In which he said "don't go to London! The bridge might fall"................ Seriously?! I told him "I wouldn't worry cause I'd be in the Undergrounds." I know. I forgot what we were talking about but when I raised my artwork and hit him (lightly) on his head, and said he might forget whatever he wanted to forget, he replied "then I might forget someone named (insert my name)" in which I replied "don't worry, in two months you won't remember this name. I'm used to it." Then he said "what if I do remember you/your name in 2 months? If I do, you'll treat me 10 cups of Starbucks okay?" I have a different thought tho. If he does remember, I might give him the Tron Keyboard + Mouse set. But of course I never told him that. Oh well. We'll see. It did take the other two (or more, who knows) college mates longer than 2 months to forget me so he'd definitely NOT forget me that soon. I hated the goodbyes.

- - - - -

If he's in his current state for the next 4 months, I might seriously just give him the set. Cause it has been rotting in my closet for a long time!

- - - - -

Ciao time! I know I forgot some stuffs.

- - - - -

And I did! I totally forgot to write about my screening of The Amazing Spider-Man 2! While the others were planning to go out partying, I had my screening of The Amazing Spider-Man 2 to accompany me! I didn't now they were having a party until two of them accidentally spit out words about it. Hoho. They immediately tried to stop talking but what's the point. I'm used to not getting invited. I was okay and sorta made them comfortable talking about the party in front of me. It was sorta late when we finished our Sushi King meal. I went home and in less than an hour I was out again. To catch the bus to 1 Utama to watch The Amazing Spider-Man 2! It was raining and the bus' number never appeared on the dumb board. I was so afraid the bus might never come. When the bus finally came, it sorta cheated me an extra 50 cents. That's a lot to me okay! There were random dumb traffic congestion, dumb bus not moving, and boom I was late to my screening. 8.30pm and the bus was still at the corner. BUT! I still manage to get my tickets as the KLIPS counter wasn't closed yet and I managed to catch my screening! Though I WAS 5 to 10 minutes late AND I stepped on someone's foot..... The staffs gave me a middle-ish seat even though I was late! How nice! Funny how the middle seats were still empty! I thought I was gonna get screen hugging seats! I was so late I even told my dad he could pick me up whenever he's done with his dinner..... In which of course after getting seated I told him I manage to get my passes to watch the movie. Boy what a rush! THIS MUST NEVER HAPPEN AGAIN! I'm never gonna always be lucky and still get to watch a movie I'm late to! The first was Rush but coincidentally they delayed the screening so I got to watch the whole movie. If I get invited to watch The Amazing Spider-Man 2 again, I might consider watching depending on who invited me. ;)

The final week.

So it's the final week. Well the final week ended and this is a compilation post of the week. This time it's not the final week of the month or the year or anything like that. It's the final week of college life! The final week of rushing assignments! Or rather, the final week to prepare our Final Year Project for our graduation showcase! The showcase was yesterday. I'll get back here in a bit!

[Tuesday]

Went to class as usual, to show the final edited images for the showcase. Waited for 30 minutes or so while surfing the net on my phone before someone opened the door, turned around to see who was it and continued on with my phone. The door opened for the second time and I assumed it was just the same person so I never bothered turning my head around. Suddenly someone tried to snatch my phone?! I gripped my phone harder and looked up to find Harry standing there. On one side, I was shocked and a little pissed at my phone almost getting snatched (I might've lose grip and dropped it yo!), while the on the other side, I was delighted to see him. Well I won't get to see him much anymore soon so yep. Class was eventually canceled as the lecturers were busy. We sat around to chit chat for a while longer. He asked for my phone and as expected he forgot the pin again. I think he never bothered remembering it anyway. He mentioned someone else liked the numbers I used but forgot who or something.

{update on the 17th}
Didn't realize I missed out this important part!! At some point, he wanted to see what my final edited images were like and so I showed him. After seeing the edited images he said (something along the lines as I don't remember much now) : “我觉得你用回原照会比较开心” Did I look sad or something when I was showing him the images? Why would he say “比较开心” ? Or was it my random rants on FB while I was editing the images? Or did I complain about too much editing when I was showing him the images? Did I? I can't remember a single thing now. Bahhh. He preferred the original images as well. Sigh. Oh well.

I wore the ChurpChurp shirt I got from the visiting their office and he noticed. For once someone was reading the print out. He thought the Churpie eyes looked like an owl. I finally got to ask him about RO Carnival! He did get the paper file thingy from that event. He mentioned he got some RO "recycle bag" from the event and he's still using them now during travels. I'll leave the other details out. He asked to see my final edited images for the showcase and I showed him. He said I would like and rather use the original photos without the editing layers. Which is true. I did. But oh well. I forgot what we were talking about, it could've been this, he patted me on the head and I told him not to cause it's oily. He immediately asked whether was it because I haven't washed my hair and yep. Bwahahaha. Then I gave some dumb excuse like : we weren't suppose to wash our hairs daily ya know! When the truth is the water supply at home wasn't sufficient hohoho. He then explained he MUST wash his hair daily cause it gets oily within hours. Mine does too ehehehe but I'm a lazy arse and only wash it once a day. Sad we didn't get to have lunch together.

I think I forgot some parts of the day. It has been almost a week. Then there were two days where all you can think of is your final project. Oh well. When I do I'll add them in somewhere.

Oh I received the another parcel from Zalora! Ordered just Monday evening near 4pm! 3.59pm to be exact! And received it before 12pm on Tuesday! Awesome speed again by Zalora! I bought a pair of shoes and a dress while the siblings bought a pair of shoes each. Gonna return the dress cause it's a little big and keeping the shoes even though it's a little small (my fault tho).

[Friday]

We had to set up or at least figure out how to set up our artworks for the showcase. I arrived a little late to see that they weren't there yet... (the they I mentioned is not everyone but just a partial of who I'd rather hang with) I felt so lonely when they weren't there yet. Just standing in a corner with my Starbucks. When they did appear, I was happy and sorta sad at the moment. I really wished I arrived earlier. Oh well. What's done is done. I liked my Starbucks anyway! Among the people that were there, he's the only one who asked to see my artwork ♥ Ahahaha I pointed which was my favorite! That's really the only one I love the most! When we were putting the heavy framed photo back into the bag, that was probably the closest we ever stood. He sorta hissed at me for having Starbucks ahahaha! I still came earlier that you even though I waited to get my Starbucks okay!

At some point he asked where were my glasses/spectacles. I told him I wore contact lenses (or did he ask was I wearing contact lenses... I think it was the first). He looked at my eyes and then asked : "You wore transparent lenses?" I was like "duhhh" but I went with "yeah" instead I think. He asked why did I wear lenses and I told him because I went out earlier. Which was a lie. I was home, then Starbucks then here. It definitely wasn't for Starbucks. But not for anyone either. I just wanted to. He did also say "It looks pretty" (很美啊 to be exact) which in return I replied : "yeah I know my eyes were always pretty". I didn't know how to react. And I still don't know whether he was talking about the lenses or my eyes. Bah. Then at some other point, he looked at my shoes and said something like "you're wearing flats!" Then I was like yeah. When he went "Where's the heels?!" I was like "I don't buy heels" then he said "you just bought a pair the other day didn't you?" then I realized he's a guy and wouldn't know the difference between heels and wedges so I decided not to explain and just went with "You must be crazy to wear heels to do setup!" (I barely know the difference of the assorted heels anyway) Our conversation stopped somewhere. (unfortunately I forgot which did he mention first... The shoes or the eyes/cons.. damnit for a minute it felt like the shoe came first the next minute it felt like the cons came first! I still think the shoes came first..)

Oh just this early Friday morning, I went to get my ID card done! Hooray! Like finally! I can dye my hair anytime I want now! I woke mega early for this okay! And had to work hard that night too! Bless there's water on both Thursday and Friday! I get to wash my hair daily :p

I forgot was it Thursday night or Friday night but he said he didn't realize the "sibehnolife" until then. It was there even before we started talking please! rawrrr

- - - - -

[Saturday]

Dun dun dun! It's the day itself! The day we hang our artworks/photographs on the terrible-college-provided partitions for display! I wore my Loki tee to war! He came mega early! He was already there when I got there. He did help to hang my artworks ehehehe. I was so worried the partition might fall cause the frame of my artworks are very very heavy. The heaviest among the 10 of us. All of us went out to the stage area when it was about time to start, and chit chatted just about the whole time we were there. Hao was hissed at for eating in front of us while most of us haven't ate breakfast! It was funny watching them! Showed Terry and Sher my calling card at some point and they both said it looked anime-ish. (or maybe it wasn't Terry... hmm this I forgot) When we finally got to get back inside the building, we were only waiting for the food to be open to all. From 9am to 12pm or so! The hunger!! I liked the sardine sandwich~ They curry puff was so so. I didn't like the orange juice ahahaha. The sis came by around 12.30pm. Apparently she parked her car on the opposite side of the highway just to get here (and skip parking fees duh). Awww lol.

It felt like forever for the day to be over! I kept counting how many hours there are before we finally get to pack and leave. Zac noticed I was wearing contact lenses. Instead of the usual "where's your glasses?" he said "You're wearing contact lenses today right? They look blacker!" (now to think of it, I think he thought I was wearing colored contact lenses when all I wore were transparent ones.) I was like "smart! you're the first to say I'm wearing contact lenses directly instead of asking where's my glasses". Did he mean my eyes weren't originally that black though... Our lecturer took forever to come. And I did terrible. Cause I didn't know what to say. Bahhhh. Oh well. What's done is done. When I was "presenting", Harry asked whether the title Stop and Stare is related to the song. But it wasn't. Just thought it fit that's all. At some point Harry asked whether I ever considered to get double eye lids in the future. Hao tagged along the topic. I doubt I would.. Cause I'd occasionally get double eye lid on the right eye. He has double eye lids and made a funny face by pulling the corner of his eyes, making his double eye lids into single eye lids.

One of Harry's artwork fell around 3pm. I was eating at the other end of the lobby and heard something fall. I was really afraid that it might be mine and rushed towards the display end to see that it was Harry's. He wasn't around when it happened. He didn't even seemed to bother about it. Someone else's did fall too but the frame didn't crack while Harry's did. He still didn't bother. Maybe he secretly did. He looked a little frownish when he came back.. When we gathered at the eating corner, he messed with my hair rawr. The RedBull mini cooper came by! We went out to get a free drink each! Hao was like "hey there's free red bull outside! go get it!" when he came in with his! Even the other lecturers went to get a free drink! And played around with the informative plane thingy they got. He took a sip off my can ehehehe. Before Hao came with the free Red Bull news, we were talking about what we were gonna do after we graduated. Apparently I wasn't the only one planning NOT to get a job related to photography. Harry, Hang, Kenny wasn't planning too either. I wasn't the only one who wouldn't touch the camera unless there's an assignment that needed us to take photographs. We could've been better collegemates/buddies hohoho.

YinKei came by too~ Throughout the whole day, she's the only one I took a selfie with. She's the only one who requested for one okay! I'm that much unpopular I know! She's fun to hang out with from time to time. Joe's parents came by at some point. Fatimah (the angmoh)'s mom was there the whole time. She invited quite a lot of her friends to the showcase. Some even brought her bouquets of flowers. Almost all of them were taking photos throughout the day. While I just wandered around the same space the whole time. We noticed Terry's purple hair slowly washed down to pink and now there's white in them! Extra cotton candy feel! He's planning to chop 'em off once they're long enough.

Finally it's 5pm! Swish swash swoosh and all our artworks were taken down from the partition! I played with my box of cards by shaking it in the box. I thought the sound of the cards moving in the box sounded cute and funny and it was fun. He said something like : "(做么)你酱单纯 / 天真的" I can't remember whether he said the following :"酱可爱的？" I don't think he did.. I really can't remember... While some others were still packing their things, at some point he asked : "when did we start talking this much? just recently?" As usual I sorta misheard and said last year around February when it's really just recently. For who knows what reason. Maybe it's because we knew we were graduating soon and won't be able to talk that much anymore. Who knows... The committee members took a while to clear some other stuffs while the president and our representative left in a flash! What the! We waited for the other committee members before heading for dinner! Apparently we ordered the same food for dinner. But a different drink! My drink sucked. Tasted weird meh. Then boom it's time to leave. Sigh. He mentioned he's not gonna come for the graduation ceremony. Only till when I reached home that I remembered he mentioned he might not pass one of the subjects and might not graduate with us. Ooops sorry!

Have a picture of my artworks on display ♥ ! Isn't the one in the middle just lovely? ♥

Had Salmon from Niko Niko Onigiri as "dessert" !

- - - - -

Spent the night over-thinking about random things.

Don't quite remember what other things I wanted to write about. Oh well. As usual, I'll add them in when I do ;)

[29th April Update]
At the end of last Friday, I was in a happy-ish mode and kept replaying 大声说爱你 (from 女人30情定水舞间 aka Fabulous 30) and by the end of Sunday, I kept replaying 美丽 (from 回到爱以前 aka Déjà Vu). Mood definitely affected.
