Another day of blogging skipped.

Three more weeks of my first sem and it will be over. Don't know how to feel about that. Everyone will be one sem older and there'll be freshies coming and seniors going out. :(

Yesterday I used 1/4 of the day for dentist appointment + time with Mom, 2/4 to shoot for our English final assignment, and the remaining 1/4 to compile whatever I can into a video for the assignment, ask Giang to photostat my VRC final assignment sketch and listen to the royalty-free music Adaline scouted for the assignment. When my head got too heavy and painful, I went down to HB3 to collect my photostatted item from Giang and bought an ice-cream for myself.

My first ice-cream in uni! :D

I went to Eli's room and asked her if she wanted some bites off my ice-cream and ended up hanging out at her room until 12:30am. I'm glad I went to her room even if by the end of the hang out, I felt so exhausted from all my activities. But my headache was alleviated. Eli patted my head. ^.^

I just checked my blog stats and noticed that Malaysian visitors exceeded the American visitors in the Weekly area (and came to a close second in the Monthly area). This is kind of scary because I normally don't get much Malaysian visitors. What if my friends are reading this? OAO I didn't tell anyone but there are some openings on where to find my blog (eg: my Google page). I don't really mind though; I just don't have to know who it is. :) The reason I write this blog and not share it is so that whoever is supposed to find it, will find it. And if you keep coming back then either it's because you find me relatable, you are curious about what I do with my life or you just want to see if I write anything bad about anybody. The last one is probably untrue though because I don't like drama and won't bitch on anybody and tell it to everyone. But I'm still gonna write what I want though.

Oh, and I shall post a picture of the day kind of thing if I am not able to write an entry on a particular day. :)

Rahman as Kam(arul)
And me behind setting up the deco.
He tried using Beauty Skin and complained that it made his eyes smaller. =.=

I requested for Man's help last minute and luckily he accepted even though he had a lot to do. *grateful tears* While waiting for him in HB3, he called me and told me he couldn't make it. My heart immediately dropped. "Haha, I'm just kidding." Omg, stupid Man. Don't scare me like that. He assured me he knows how hard it is to find talents (he's in FCM too).

It was easy to work with my two characters - Kam (potrayed by Man) and Mei Mei (potrayed by Yong Lin). They were cooperative and easy going and I did my best to capture various angles for my scene. I am very grateful to Ken for not only lending us his car but also driving us around Cyberjaya to scout for rich people houses. Our final assignment is based off the short stories we learnt in class and we chose 'A New Year's Day Lunch in Jalan Kia Peng' which is about a family lunch and has a huge focus on family conflict.

Ken just half-sat/lie at the backseat playing games on either his phone or my phone (I don't remember). If it was my phone, he would be playing Candy Crush even though he is often complaining that he don't get the game. Cars were honking at us because we parked at the side of the road. "Wth are these inconsiderate youngsters doing here!? Don't they know they can't just park there?" We know, we know, that's why I am trying my best to finish it as soon as possible. :3

The downside is that Man couldn't drive, so the car scenes were shot inside an unmoving car. Well, I can't complain since he is willing to help and just hoping that the class won't press much on that issue. He and Yong Lin was such a good actor and actress though! Man said so many people used him as their talent that the lecturers will have to ban him sooner or later haha. At least I got to use him before he got banned for real HAHAHAHA.

After that, we went to Adaline's apartment to shoot her scenes. Omg the guard was so scary. @.@ He won't let us in unless we show him anything, our ID, student card, passport, anything. We didn't bring anything. Adaline told him she lives here. In the end, he let us in. The Arc is so niceee - feels like a hotel or shopping mall. Adaline's scene (at the lunch table) was harder to shoot though. Not only do we not have the proper setting, but we also have uncooperative people there. My camera's battery was getting low and they were still chatting and not taking this seriously. This is why I can't stand people sometimes. Maybe I'm just too serious. But later I found out that not only I felt that way; Man did too. 

Furthermore, it was hard to search for pictures that didn't look like they were laughing for Adaline's scene. I could see Man was trying his best to get the work done. I think the girl did too, except that she was too prone to laughter. I was trying my best to give directions on what to do so that they look convincing. When they finally left, I felt relieved - I can call Ken and we can go back to school. Thank you Adaline for the good work though! :) 

Then we went for an early dinner (because Man hasn't eaten) with Ken, Eli and sis. Ken said he wasn't coming but then he came in the end.

Man kept telling us funny stuffs and I held in my laughter until I hiccuped. I can't stop laughing at him and I felt like either I'm gonna suffocate holding my food in, or vomit on his face. Neither happened, luckily. But I was glad that he became his normal self because he wasn't talking that much with the girls around earlier.

Cloudy Mr. Sky

Yesterday Giang asked if it rained here in Cyberjaya. The sky was really grey, but nope, it didn't rain. He said it rained for two hours at his work place. 

Granted myself the luxury of not setting my alarm for this morning even though I felt like I should have, in order to get more things done. I reasoned with myself - I am sleep-deprived for so many days (my face is getting worse! The outbreaks.) and if I don't catch up on my sleep tonight, it's just going to weigh me down more and more. And that's how I woke up at 10:30am and it's close to 12pm now and I'm still not starting on my assignments yet! XD

 Do your best for today too, Fion! You can do it! Then you can look forward to a nice dinner with sis and Giang. <3

(Yesterday I saw Pau and his bf having a serious kinda thing going on. They were silently talking with Pau's back on the wall and they looked solemn, like they were arguing but doesn't wanna make it vocal. I quickly walked away and hid in front of Delidelphia so that they couldn't see me. I felt scared.)

p.s. I need exercise - not exercising is making me lethargic. ;_;

p.p.s. Gonna be a high comm for swimming club next sem and congrats to Ken for being elected as the new President! Giang unofficially retired 14 Jan. I never got the chance to work under him, but it's OK. At least we became his camera girls for his first and last event. ^.^

p.p.p.s. I can never really sign off can I?

~*~*~*~

Just now waiting for Ken to tapao (take away) my lunch like

Waited from 12pm to 4pm.

And then went down to get my nuggets. He talked 70% of the time - I'm just too exhausted to talk much. Honestly he talks so much more in real than on FB. So, so different from the Ken I thought I knew. I don't know whether to be happy or worried lol.

He reminds me a bit of Pei Qin (the guy that confessed to me). Probably because they both are talkative. Very, very talkative. But Ken is more candid and boyish and I don't feel anything weird from him. 

Dinner later with more company - Eli and Jared. Don't know if Ken will be joining us or not though but he knew I'm gonna eat at HB3 tonight. No more money to go eat outside... *cries* Spent about RM60 for brushes/markers/etc for VRC final assignment yesterday. Oh, the happiness of choosing tools without worrying! I splurged for the first time on art tools using my own money. Ain't no care in the world~ I feel so shiok. 

Helped Esther with her Add Maths just now - oh, the memories. Made me miss calculations. I was pretty sure of the answer (they were correct btw) but I asked Aarun (he's in Engineering) just to make sure hahaha. Just in case I got any dumber after not studying for more than a year. 

~*~*~*~

Gecko at dinner! Tamim walked over to our table in HB2 along with a gecko riding his chest hahaha. Didn't get to eat at HB3 because no store was open. Ken drove out to eat by himself.


Jared was scared of the gecko - so cute hahaha. He managed to hold it though and sis quickly snapped a lot of pictures while he was panicking. One thing I learnt today. *thumbs up*

Thanks Eli, for the pictures <3

Holding it feels like holding a softer version of an iguana. Feels a bit like when I am holding Light; the hands and feet, they feel the same. :) Missing Light all of a sudden. These few weeks I didn't get to hold her because I was rushing in and out the house. I seem to always be rushing somewhere. But I'll always stop to say "Goodbye, Light."
