So blissful and happy now although the room is still kinda humid.
We did our VRC 2 presentation just now in the class and Madam Elyna told us privately that we are the best group for this part. There were some good groups too. We did a shadow play on the issues regarding nature that we wanna focus on and then included the whys, hows and effects. Lecturers said it was good! Our video spoke for itself and we didn't have to explain anything although we had a mind map ready on the whiteboard.
I wouldn't wanna say I did it all; most of us did our own assigned parts. But I would like to think that it's because I thought up of almost everything that we would fare good now. I thought of the shadow play idea, the video composition, the workload assignment and most of the nature ideas. They were pretty helpful and kind though as I can be quite sparta when I do my assignments haha. Yesterday alone, I kept calling Jasper to keep tab on his progress. #helicopterfriend
I'm not the leader though; I feel like I'm more of a support or foundation of the group. I didn't want to belittle all the others because they have good ideas as well. So far the group is going great.
Put earphones on my ears and felt like music just enveloped my world. Quiet room.
Madam Elyna told us that we have gone beyond our standard as we made a multimedia presentation which we are only supposed to do next sem. I felt so glad and proud that we decided to do something like this. At first I was a bit freaked out because nobody did it (they had mindmaps only) but then I reminded myself to get rid of that fear of being different and just embrace whatever that may come. It turned out awesome after all. We all did a good job creating that video.
William told Mr. Amir he made it ("Ask this guy!" *points to Jasper*) and I just kept quiet. If that's what he wants to think. All he did was search for pictures, print it and cut it following what we had decided on. Jasper did the movements of the shadows (which contributed hugely to our video. Thank you, Jasper!), I did the hows, whys and effects (I accidentally got locked out of my room yesterday but I got a borrowed key with a penalty of RM10) and Adaline compiled it all together and searched for the background music too.
Should be doing my CG assignment now, but hey it doesn't hurt to express myself now! Not especially with my skipped days and happenings. Yesterday at Figure Drawing, Mr. Amir said my skulls look happy (we practiced with drawing skulls from various angles) and in my head I was thinking if the saying "You draw what you feel" is correct. My skulls look so cute haha.
Say hello to Mr. Skull!
My skulls~
Never knew there are so many air spaces of gas in Coke.
After class is dismissed just now, I went to Mr. Amir. "I got onto the dean's list."
"Good job!" And he held out a hand for me to high five! Cute moments. He told Madam Elyna I am in the dean's list and she joyfully put up two thumbs up. They seemed to be really happy about it lol. I hope I can maintain it!
Once Madam Elyna knew about it, she said it's no wonder our group is far in front. She can see it and can visualize our chosen topic in its upcoming forms. She said "your circus idea" and I can only hope that she knew I came up with that idea. She seemed to be really attached to that idea haha. We are focusing on animals in captivity with a lean to circus and entertainment. She said that could be our metaphor. Personally it's because I love circuses, but only the human part though. I don't like it when they used animals in shows and circuses (OK maybe except dolphins and seals, I'm sorry).
I got so happy when they look so happy and kept telling me good job. It made me feel so accomplished and happy. I went to the toilet after that and tears fogged my eyes a bit as I kept thanking whoever I should be thanking and also thanking myself.
Emotional moments that no one knows about.
Or is it nobody does this.
I just feel so, so grateful. I told Mr. Amir I hope to keep it up. "Getting it is easy, keeping it up is the hard part," Mr. Amir said. Yes, I do know that.
Sometimes I am just so, so, so, so, so, happy. I have very loving and caring seniors to guide me (because I am an anxious noob in almost everything), am in a course that I love (most of the time I enjoy doing my assignments), lecturers that I just like so much and in a job that I also love (with a really good boss). I hope it will not good away. One of my biggest fear is that this will all be gone someday.
What happens when Giang graduates? What happens when Mr. Amir they all are no longer my lecturers? What if I have no more time to sleep? But most of all: what if I have no motivation in life?
I think about all these.
What happens if I am no longer this happy, kid-ish girl?
This afternoon sis and I went to the Green club's event to see the exotic animals. There were raccoon, gecko, spiky tortoises, snakes of various sizes, tarantulas, frog, hamsters and a few more. No pics though because they don't allow. Probably because the past few days, people kept taking pictures only. We can buy them though, but super expensive. For the frog, it is RM80. Perhaps it is exotic and rare.
We played games and they will notify us if we win anything after they tally up everyone' score. I was pretty good at the 'aim and throw' and the shooting this time; I have no idea why. I hope I win something!
There was a booth selling personalized candles as well! I asked if they have a shop, and it is located in Ikano. We can go check it out once our new house is finished! Can buy it for Mom cuz we know how much she loves aromatherapy, so she might love scented candles.
Gonna sleep for a while and then wake up to do my CG assignment. Had a late night yesterday and kept yawning in class. I don't know how teenagers keep it up.
