Do you know what's depressing? When you go eat dinner on your own, and everyone is not alone(usually that place got a lot of people eating alone, don't know why today don't have), some more got sad lonely themed song playing at the background... =_="


Have a nice day!

MLM: My experience sitting in the front row

So yeah, today is Monday and yesterday was Sunday. Semester 2 starts today and super excited but I'm not gonna talk about it here, I will post another blog post about it later.
So I came back to KL yesterday. My flight was suppose to be at three something in the afternoon and got cancelled. It was freaking cancelled!!! Then they put all of us(those in that flight) to another flight, which was about 6: 35pm. I reach home at 10pm le... I was so tired that I didn't bother to unpack or shower, I just went to sleep(actually I went online for awhile XD)
Anyways, the dude in-charge at the check in place there go and put me in the freaking front row, some more aisle seat, so I'm the first person people see when they enter.
I thought nobody was going to sit next to me(I want to move to the seat inside) but then last minute a couple came in and sit there, with toddler some more, she is a very cute little girl.
Sitting right in front, you get to see what is going on near the cockpit. Sure, you see lots of people passing by you to go to the toilet but you get to see the air stewards and captain too.
Stuff I learned:
  1. The stewardess will heat the food before take off.
  2. The male steward is gay. I overheard his conversation with the female stewardess when we were taking off. (I know this is irrelevant but haha)
  3. The stewardess use garden glove to take the hot food out instead of oven gloves.
  4. Front row people barely have space to put their bags, thanks to the people in the second row.
  5. The male stewardess actually is a lazy person.
  6. Sitting in the front row at the aisle and on the left side of the plane is dangerous. The stewardess will hit you on the head when she is showing the safety thingy stuff.
  7. Firefly's satay is delicious, but the rice that comes with it sucks.
  8. Oh ya, almost forgot, there is no need to book your seats cause if your flight is cancelled and they put you in another flight, you won't get the seat you want, which means you paid for nothing... I was queuing before boarding and the two aunties behind me where like complaining about not getting the seat they want. I don't like that aunty le, she keeps pushing me forward(I hate when people queue behind you and they push you forward).
So yeah, reach the airport and waited for my luggage. KLIA's conveyer belt is not good for our luggage... Our luggage go through the belt thingy then it drops your bag into the other belt right? There should put a higher wall at the place where the bag falls so that it won't fall of the belt. So many bags fell off the belt le. Luckily mine didn't.
So I took the KLIA express(yes, I know it's expensive, but it's safe). The platform at KL sentral when you get off the train, reminds me of the platform like Harry Potter... XD

Normally I want to sit at the seat near the aisle(cause I want to be the one who gets the bag instead of the people with me) but now I feel like sitting near the window(cause I developed the habit of cam-whoring XD and also flying above the clouds at six something in the evening is awesome, you see the clouds and the sun blend together, what a beautiful sight, I wanted to take a picture of it but got people sit at the window seat, some more with baby, how can I take picture like that?!)

Have experience sitting in front row in an airplane? Or any airplane stories(doesn't matter where you sit) or any front row stories? Share with me.

Have a nice day!

MLM: Just hangin'

So, Tracy, Joan and I went out yesterday.. I'm not gonna say much, I'm just gonna show you pictures...

So nice to be able to drive again XD

We went to Jalan Song first because I wanted to go Friendship Garden seeing how I never walked there before, just passed by a lot.

I high-fived Admiral Zheng He XD


Then we went to One Jaya. Most of the shops are still closed.

Haha, saw this at one of the shops in One Jaya.

Then we had lunch at Pizza Hut. After that, we went to The Spring shopping mall for karaoke session. We drank a little... XD


Hmm... seems like a lot of stores closed down already...
Then after that, we go walk around the mall, did some shopping. I bought a red checkered shirt, a blue shirt, a pink shirt for my friend and a necklace. Oh ya, we went to an art gallery situated in the mall(I'm surprise suddenly the mall have an art gallery).

Just messing around XD

My favorite piece.

I sent them back and went to pick up my mother. We had dinner and went home. The End.

Have a nice day!

IJWTS #1

Here is my new segment called I JUST WANT TO SAY...
I know stuff like that are better off said on Twitter... but since I logged into here and not many people see my twitter account(I also don't log on to twitter much anymore) so I'll just say it here...

If you impact someone's life or inspire someone, it will surely grow and passed on to another person...


Have a nice day!

Random: How do I do my designs?

People keep on asking me how to do it.
If I post this someone would probably give me a scolding but I don't care, I want to be able to teach people or share my experiences with people in the future. We shall learn things together ya?
I have a motto when I do my design and that is Do Not Be Afraid To Try.
Lots of my designs I just go along with it and if there are some that I like, I will use the method in my other future designs. Sometimes I have this certain design on my head and not sure if it would come out nice or whether it works well or not. I just do it. If you don't do it, you will never know whether it suits the thing you are doing. You just never know until you try.
If there are mistakes, Just cover it up.
I make lots of mistakes before. Like when I do a curve and it looks weird, I will keep on making extra layers until I'm satisfied or when I draw things overboard and I don't like it. I'll put another design to cover it or just make up another design(I tent to draw things so close to each other until the ink spreads to the other design, so yeah).
Look around.
Get inspired by other design or an object. I went to a boot camp for interior designers and one of the speaker has his own company and he said if you get stuck and couldn't get an idea, just go out(or just take a break), look around, be inspired, then come back and do your work. He say his best ideas come from when he go to the toilet. XD
Sometimes I look around and thought hey, that looks nice, I could try that and apply in my designs.

So yeah, I hope this helps-ish. All the best! Thanks for reading!

Have a nice day!

Random: Things are not going to be the same

Things are not going to be the same
It may appear that the two things you compare are the same but they aren't.
Even twins or triplets or quadruplets or whatever else there is, aren't the same.
If you look carefully, they aren't the same. Yes, they may have the same look, the same parents and blah blah blah, but the first will always be the first, the second is the second, and so forth.
Just like my designs, they are never the same and can never be the same. Even it's suppose to look the same or symmetrical, it will still be different. The designs and methods might be the same but if you look closer, it's not the same. I tried to copy one of my old designs for a college assignment, but it came out different. I just can't seem to make it the same. The concept is the same but the designs are slightly different.

*I know this post seem pointless but yeah, I just want to point out that my designs are originals and each one of them are one in a million. They may have the same look or method but it's different.
*I do have other points on this topic but this is mainly about my designs so I might write another post about the same topic with different ideas.

So if you want to hire me to design something for you, go ahead. I do charge yeah, whether you are my close friend or family, I will still charge you.

Have a nice day!

Random: Opportunities

Opportunities...
They are everywhere. You just got to look for it or just be at the right place at the right moment.
I am an interior design student who does graphic designs. I mostly do tribal designs. It isn't tribal design to me but it is to other people. It's just black ink design on paper.
Anyways, I tent to do those designs everywhere and anywhere I get the chance to or when I have my black pen and a piece of paper(or sketch book) with me or when there is a nice place for me to relax and draw.
When people walk by, they see it. Hopefully one day, it will catch the eye of the person who may change my life forever and give me a job or something. They could just hire me. I do design for people and they pay me(have been since high school).
Sometimes I purposely(sometimes only), do my designs in front of people, so they could see what I do(even though I don't like people seeing unfinished work), and then they would ask me to do it for them.
My point is that don't give up on your dreams or don't lose hope as opportunities are everywhere. Just have faith.
Take the opportunity to show your talents to the world.
You want to be a singer, then go sing out on the streets, join singing competitions, sing at a restaurant or something.
You want to be a painter, paint something and go to the galleries, ask if they could display your works, join art competitions.
All you have to do is go forth and try. Show them what you're made of.

Sorry if you think my advice are mainly for artistic people...

So, GO OUT! Show them what you can do! Show them your talents. Small steps at a time.
I hope this helps you(in a way) to have more faith and don't give up.

Have a nice day!

MLM/Random: Semester 1 is over!!!

At least I think it is.. Haha.. Just hope that my grades are enough for me to pass Semester 1 and go on to Semester 2.

My crazy classmates! Thanks for an incredible journey! Thanks for baring with me throughout Semester 1.. Sorry if I offended or make you angry... Hope that things would be better in Semester 2... Jia you! Gambateh!

I can't wait to go Semester 2 as there is a class that I can't wait to start...
It's photography baby!! Yes, I love photography. I was suppose to havea post about my passion for photography but I deleted it. I love photography for a long time now but it's only recently(actually since I moved to KL) that I really really love it. Maybe because they are people who like the pictures I took. I can't wait to get my hands on aDSLR and start learning. If you want to hire me to take pictures for you, I'll be happy to... :DDD
Anyways, finally I have time to go back to my hometown. I don't mind just coming back for a week but I mind if my holiday is only a week. I need to catch up on my sleep which I haven't seeing I got on the plane the day after my final presentation(I stayed up for almost 48 hours) and since then I have been waking up early everyday because of my mother. I need sleep!!! I've been falling asleep every chance I get. In the bus, sleep, in the plane,sleep, in the car, sleep, at the restaurant, sleep, visiting my grandmother, sleep, in church, almost sleep XD....
So I've been back for like 3 days already and have been eating quite a lot. I hope I didn't gain weight seeing how it is hard for me to lose weight. Speaking of weights, I lost 10 freaking KG!!! I don't feel it though... but people keep telling me they see me slimmer than the first time they saw me. I've been having lots of stress, walking up and down the stairs, and skipping meals especially breakfast. Yes, I'm living an unhealthy life, stop nagging me, I have enough from my mother, aunties and a friend from church(you know who you are)...XD
Me on the plane XD
Finally get the chance to eat Foochow noodles!!! Yumm!!
I'm meeting up with my friends later and will blog about it later maybe soon hopefully... XD

Have a nice day!
