My father, somehow, quite randomly bought me a present. It was a surprise present, and hell it surprised me. As I opened the door of my room I realized something hanging by the handle.

I barely take naps! Let’s scratch of naps and change it to ASSIGNMENT

My lil bro is amused, my mum laughed. I’m keeping it on my door for the sake of usefulness. Maybe now people would stop bothering me so much.

Lookit that. 16 bottles rolled and swished around as I drove. I thought I was in the sea 8D

BACK TO ASSIGNMENTS!

And the first week was hell. They made us climb 272 steps of stairs, made us interview architects and practically shoving it into our faces that we are so totally going to suffer our final year in college. Kali has to repeat a year, or semester or something so, yay! We’d be graduating the same year and she’ll have to suffer an extra year in degree!

I have become noticeably lazy this semester. Which is, BAD. I think Zuzu has influenced me. Now I’ll get “not too shabby” results too…

So the topic for this sem is religious buildings. How epic! NOT. Our first assignment is designing a shrine for 2 different religious beliefs to pray at without them going end to end about how ‘this is my territory’ sort of way. It’s bullshit I tell you. I tell anyone outside architecture about my lecturer and their response to it is, ‘BULLSHIT’. If only I was able to say that to my lecturers. It’s extra ironic that we’re getting this topic considering the happenings within the country where people are practically bombing each place of worship or putting pig heads outside mosques and what not. How much scorn we go through it feels rather sad that we’re playing such a small miserable role of building a shrine to make people notice that each religion is similar to another but no, it will never work.

Batu Caves in all it’s glory!

We went to Batu Caves, a place I often pass by but never entered. I know of some people who go all ‘MY DREAM IS TO CLIMB THE STAIRS OF BATU CAVES!’. Well, I’m proud to say I have done it! Not that I found climbing up there enlightening but maybe in the future I’ll look back and think ‘god dammit, I wish I remember how it was climbing those stairs on a friggin sunny day with an empty stomache and parched throat!’ but for now, climbing up the stairs was a hilarious adventure and anyway, it something I have accomplished.

Lookit the steps!!! D:

And when we reached the top…

MOAR STAIRS!

Some Irish woman from Switzerland came over and gave chocos. She went out with mama to look at cars. My mum looks, the woman had already planned to come back with a car. I don’t know who this woman is. I don’t care who this woman is. But the choco’s were heavenly. I’m not a fan of choco as much as cocot is but oh god, the meringue! Who can resist such meringue! Chocolate coated meringue?! GENIUS!

It was good chocolate so it melted at room temperature.

I’m gonna work on studio. I’m so uninspired

I really should learn to edit pics before posting them online

Apple Crumble P:

Holidays are over like a blink of an eye. Suddenly, it’s January. I groan, I moan, I whine, I mutter incoherent mumble under my breath cursing the day, never expecting it to come by so fast. My holiday was utterly wasted. A few days before college start did I only start to indulge myself properly, which, in my case mind you, means spending the little amount of time I have playing games. The whole holiday has been uneventful, or not, considering those whom I spent a lump sum amount of time on might feel offended when I say no but yes, how CAN it be eventful when I watched Avatar, twice, Sherlock Holmes, twice, Cirque du Freak, twice and oddly enough, Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus, twice. I was nearly dragged to watch Avatar for the third time, and Sherlock, for a fourth, but as much as an epic movie it was, as much as how the chemistry between Holmes and Watson tingles the gay fangirl within me, NO.

Thanks to a certain someone who kept bugging me on and on throughout my hols, ‘PLAY DRAGON AGE PLAY DRAGON AGE!’ I did. Most amazing was how I bought the DVD myself. I still had my social life distracting me so even though it has been 4 days, I’ve only completed a mere 12% of the game. An accomplishment I am proud of considering how pathetic my in game character looks. His name is also pathetic. Alim, a great name bestowed upon him by default because I have never expected myself to be so addicted to the game. Now, I have to control this pathetic little thing as he blasts enemies with fire and lightning while I plan for his sexual life hoping he can score a threesome, and if I’m lucky, a foursome. The wonders of modern gaming, you can have sex if you suck up properly. Or rather, jut be horny.

Alim looking all jiwang.

Alim looking pathetic amongst old men!

Alim looking all bloody with Morrigan sneering at him and Alistair sekritly eyeing him. Leliana is looking on as she plans how to disrupt all relationships.

Also, Christmas + New Years was a very loltastic event. I received a new watch and a new wallet, both, purple. I can happily wear watches now without having to worry about my skin beneath turning red and spotted and torn and any other ailment you can think off. As for the wallet, I reckoned some people wants me to turn a bit more feminish by giving me one of those long wallets. I’ve been using it for awhile now and god forbid me, I want to tear it apart sometimes. Now I know why some people don’t bother shoving their cards back into their long wallets. It’s frustrating enough it’s so huge; I have to bring a bag along whenever I want to bring my wallet along. Oh well, persevere… persevere…

he watch is upside down. As usual, my photography skills does not deliver /o/

I had a dream the other day, which had certain people from college who shan’t be name for I feel too embarrassed. It started out with me walking around pyramid, a very hazy one at that, with very hazy figures of people guiding me as we laughed and cantered into a restaurant/diner place thingy. Hazy too, because it was filled with smoke and metal and the only lights available were measly little light bulbs. I saw… insert names here and I fidgeted not knowing where to sit. The hazy figure I’ve been following all along invited me to sit beside it and I realized ROUGHLY who the hazy figure was. The table was long and it was still rather empty, the three people being the ones who were the clearest. I think we were about to order or something when I felt horribly pissed and woke up,
According to the dream interpreter thingy, I am in need of company and this is, specifically with the people whom I was with. It was blatantly obvious I was hanging out with college people so I am craving company with college people? Just thinking about it makes me shivers.

Hopefully 2010 goes on swell, cept, rather than being an optimistic, not a pessimist but more of a realist, as far as I’m concerned, 2010 is going to be busy shoving itself up my arse and I’m not gonna like it ONE bit. All hail 2010~

Moar apple crumble :3

Seriously, you read the newspapers and wonder, what ARE architects good for? We have such “noble” causes. When I listen to my friends taking law or medic, they sound so noble, helping people out, saving lives and it makes me think, we architects, what can we be proud of. Oh yes, we are, beautifying the world one building at a time. And your point is? In the end, we’re just ruining our world for the sake of our own selfishness. We tame the green to suit our building, destroy it to place our building. You can say ‘we thrive to make a building more sustainable, more eco friendly,’ but in the end, we do destroy our world, if not for the location, for the materials.

We make people’s life more comfortable. At what cost? Suddenly, architecture seems so criminal!

But will this stop me from pursuing architecture? Sadly, not. I might be totally against it but all in all, I am human, and a selfish one at that. Aren’t human’s amazing? We can be oh so selfish and nobody can stop us. Thank god it’s only us humans. Imagine if the animals start behaving like us, now that’s something to worry about. I don’t think I can fight an army of penguin architects. They would be so totally adorable and be building snow castles and I would so totally approve. Hmm, snow castles. It’s best to use natural material huh? Living under a tree or more suitably, a cave. In the end, the best period has got to be the prehistoric where humans and animals and might I add, dinosaurs live in total balance. We eat, and get eaten. Ah well, a dream world will always be a dream world cause in the end, despite planet earth getting destroyed, I wanna live in a comfortable environment and to do so, I need to kill trees and take away animal habitat. Sorry mother nature.

Selfish. Is selfish.

I should learn to blog as much as some people do. I find it rather entertaining to check their blogs everyday to check up on their updates.

Nana and Rachel have wondered why I loved going to Curve. Well, we find out why today.

It’s empty.

It has Ikea.

It has Borders.

It has Ikea.

It has cheap parking (come on, admit it, it’s one of the measly malls within my range which charges per entry and not per hour).

It’s empty.

I think the point here is, I find it epic when I feel like I own the mall. Or the cinema in fact. Although, sitting alone in a cinema is not epic. Though I had once, sat in an empty cinema with a friend. Only the two of us. We came in late and were very tempted to tell the worker there, hey, go start it again, not there’s anyone in here complaining. The movie was not exactly one to be rmemebered. I do rmember it do. Who doesn’t when it involves cutting up already dead bodies and lesbianing on top of the dismembered body.

So many good movies to watch I’m running out of good movies to watch. To date, I have watched Sherlock Holmes and Avatar twice. Nearly went for Avatar another time but instead headed out today with my beloved cocot (and fen). IT was rather spontaneous and very unplanned. The supposed to be journey, started 2 hours late. One cause me and fen woke up late, second cause we called cocot out last minute. Thanks to that, I carried Kit who made my hand smelled. Screw you.

We ended up watching Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus. Not a movie I would recommend if you don’t want your mind swimming in your own shit, in fact, if you want a movie which doesn’t require you to think at all, go watch chipmunks. We had a trip to Ikea and Borders where Cocot was torn on buying stuff (in Ikea) and me and cocot Fangirling and being geeks as we counted discounts and tried our best not to fangirl enthusiastically in front of the newbie customer service guy who had writing nicer than mind! How can a guy have nicer writing than me?! It is unheard of! After Form 3 I never thought I’d met another!

Ergh, going out yet again on Wednesday, Thrusday and Friday. Someone, please, stop me from going out. I swear I don’t have people to go out with but why the bloody hell do I always go out? It’s rather sickening.

Everyone (I’m not sure about the archi peeps) is studying before their sem even starts wtf. I feel stupid. I want to study but like cocot said, what the hell do you study in Archi? Good Question. Maybe I should go revise how the shit moves through <s>my brain</s>the… good god I can’t even recall what this system is called.

Nanas signing off with a very annoyed annoyed annoyed feeling. It’s 1am. This is bad for my complexion!
