What a great way to start this new post!



So today, design students held an exhibition showing off all our work since the start of Uniprep. Yesterday, we prepared the design studio, moving chairs, clearing cabinets, setting up things, etc.



Listy and I:




Eh yep sorry. No individual photos. Hehe well I do have them, but I'm so lazy to upload them into the blog because why? Blogger only allows 5 photo uploads at a time. Damn. What a pain! And it is also so hard to organize the photos after we've uploaded them since the text box is too small. Do something about this, Blogger!!!







Graphic Design




This was our very very first project. Well, the one at the bottom is the very first one I guess, but it's not an official graded project.

It is love... indeed...

Alright, let's get straight to the point:

• throw water at me
• buy me a cake

But when I reached school and NONE of these things happened to me, I realised I might have just been too full of myself lol. However, the whisperings continued... and people seemed to be busy, running around without telling me where.

I ignored all these, and did my usual routine while occasionally holding back my smile and urge to ask them "okay, so where is my birthday surprise?"

I mean... DO YOU KNOW how disturbing it is to study for an exam whilst wondering what is is that's going to happen to you later in the day? I'm being honest here, I was 100% sure there was something going on. Haha =D

After the exam, we discussed the paper for a while, then some people started going out of the classroom. And I was getting veeerry suspicious. Mr Simon (principal) approached me, and he asked me if I had forgotten to write down my student number for my Design Exam yesterday. I said I didn't. He said that he was pretty sure someone had forgotten, and I told him that I was positive it wasn't me. And I started to leave, but he asked a few more questions which I answered simply. Haha. Rude aren't I? But I was just hurrying in suspicion. When I got out to the corridor, I heard Mr Simon say something to someone about "I talked to her, but I couldn't blablabla..."

It struck me just then. Was that all to STALL me?! Me being ge-er again. I brushed it off, and my brother said "let's go home", so I packed up, and as I was about to leave, walking down the corridor, we met Kevin. He seemed in a hurry, and he said "Hey, you guys going home already? Go to class! Everybody's there, we want to talk about the exams." So we followed him.

We chatted in front of the class, which was EMPTY. I knew it. Kevin started talking about the exam, but in a disconnected kind of way. I strained myself from laughing. Is the surprise going to be here? I asked him "so where are the others?" and he said he doesn't know. Livia, Listy, and Alyssa came at that moment, and I watched them. They took their bags, and chatted for a while. Then they left again, as if in some kind of a hurry.

Okaaay, so the surprise is NOT going to be there. Where then??

Kevin, my brother and I started walking back to the entrance. We had several stops. Like Kevin suddenly gaining a miraculous interest at the timetable, and Alyssa popping up asking me about the CS exam. I don't know if these were part of the plan, but anything was suspicious at that moment. Lol.

I took these all patiently with smiles, thinking I should at least make this surprise work. Halfway down the corridor, Albert came out from this one room, which nobody ever uses, and wished me happy birthday. Yes, I was suspicious why he would be in that room, but of course I didn't ask.

At the entrance, me, my brother and Martin stood there waiting for the car. By now I suspected my brother knew about this surprise plan, because he stood there as if he was waiting, but nobody called the driver! I played along. Surprise should be here anytime soon... They should be coming out of that door behind me, holding a cake and singing......

SPLASH!!!

Holy crap. Cold water. Damn cold water.

SPLASH! SPLASH! SPLASH!

I turned back, seeing them grinning at me and I screamed. They spilled more cups of freezing water on me. (One cup had warm water though. phew!) Then, Albert came out with this big BIG chocolate cake! I laughed, relieved the surprise is finally here. Well but seriously, I didn't expect them to spill water on me at that place. I thought they would show me the cake first, and... yeah.

We took the cake to the "balcony". There, I was shivering like mad, teeth chattering and all. I cut the cake, and gave my first slice to Ke Ke. (lol) And since everybody insisted I give my brother a hug, I did. NOT without spreading all the cold water on my shirt to him! Bwahahha!

We ate cake, then the others told me to give one slice to Simon, so I went out and searched for him. But it turns out he was already home. So I gave it to Ma'am Rani instead. I went back to the balcony.

There, people told me to make my wish, since I didn't get to do it yet. Okay. Didit replaced the candle on the cake, which by then was left only a few small slices, and everybody told me to close my eyes and make my wish. So I closed my eyes...

SPLAT!!!

SPLAT! SPLAT! SPLAT!

Not cold water. CAKE. ON MY HAIR. TOOONNNSSS of cake! Numerous amounts! Apparently, when I was closing my eyes, Alyssa, Livia, Listy and Petrick were behind me, equipped with a slice each. I was dripping with cake. Horror. Horror! As if animal instinct, I grabbed a slice, and threw it at whoever nearby. I don't think it hit anyone, but people started running out of the balcony. So I chased them all, a slice in hand.

The corridors were empty. Where was everybody? I heard voices from the toilet. Alyssa! Aha! I walked silently there...and rushed into the toilet! Smear! Smear! Smeaaaarrr!!! The girls screamed like barbie dolls, and Alyssa ran out first, so I chased after her. Alas! She entered the boys' toilet! And I could hear numerous masculine screams and shouts from inside. LOL. I hope they weren't revealing anything when she rushed in...

I looked for my next target... My brother! Chased him for so long and still couldn't catch up. Next up was... Albert I think, can't remember. Albert was super scared of the choco fudge. Lol. And then he escaped into the toilet. I can't remember much of what happened after that, but I do remember somewhere in time that I entered the boys' toilet only to find it empty. One cubic has Alyssa hiding it in, but I don't know about the other.

Anyway! Long story! I'm tired from all that typing =p

After all that, my hair was super hard from the choco fudge, as if waxed. And my bro apparently brought my clothes from home, and told me to change. A while later, I had to go home because my brother is late for his tuition. Haha... My poor driver had to suffer from the strong choco smell in the long car ride home... =(

I went home and immediately took a shower. You know how long it took me? One frikin hour. When I first washed my hair, the water became brown, and all these brown flakes came off my hair. EW?! I actually washed my hair three times, and conditioned it once. My face, I washed it three times also. It was all oily from the cake. O_o

Anyways, it's crazy, I'm tired, my friends rock. Thank you guys sooo much for all the trouble! xDD I HAD FUN! Hehehe ^_^ Happy Birthday me~ For those who haven't wished me yet, friends or strangers, feel free to wish me happy birthday in the tagboard. LoL... And for those who have, thanks a bunch!~ ^^

photos coming up soon when I get it from Pet

WARNING THE FOLLOWING PARAGRAPH IS NOT FOR PEOPLE BELOW 16 (well I'm not 16 yet myself but whatever right :D)

Oh and there was Lampu Merah newspaper in the studio. For those who don't know, like I didn't, it is an adult newspaper. How shocked I was to see hundreds of ads on 'viagra' and things like 'penis perak maju mundur' (Translation: thrusting silver penis) ... or something like that, I can't really remember. O_o

Anyway, this is what I did to an ad on the newspaper:



I used correction fluid to draw the little stickmen =)

Last but not least, we did this:

Nyahnyanyha!

Listy drew the face and I wrote the cute little message.
Well, Adiooos~

(I know this is a super short post but I just wanted to show some of these pictures to you guys =D and it would be too much to post them all to my mob blog which only allows one pic per post)

Today was funn... I don't know why, but it was just funn... But before I talk about today, let's talk about yesterday where I was DAMN busy!!!

WEDNESDAY
Things to do:

1. Buy materials for Thursday's Design class
2. Take ID photo for Taiwan visa
3. Buy Dad's hair gel
4. Go to random photocopy shop on the streets to bind Design project booklet
5. Make PowerPoint presentation on Pop Design
6. Study for Maths test: Business Application of Arithmetic

Not to mention that I had to all of these things AFTER 4:00pm, which is the time when I will be dismissed from Uniprep. I reached home, printed out my booklet, had a super quick dinner which left me nauseous, then quickly left for Puri Mall.

I had everything planned out in order to not waste any time. Who knows what time the photocopy shop will close? Must hurry. So I went to M Studio first, took the photo, was told to wait for 20 minutes, where I bought Dad's hair gel in Guardian, went to Gramedia and bought materials, then finally back to M Studio, and got my super ugly ID photo.

Seriously it was so ugly! If only ID photos can be photoshopped. The problem with the photo is my Super BIG face! I think my face is twice the size of any normal human being. It's seriously biiiggg and wideee and chubby. =( Looking at my ID photo stressed me out so I put it away quickly.

I left for the photocopy shop. My driver found a random one by the streets. It was pretty good. Finally, the booklet was done! I went back home, reached there at a little before 8:00pm. Showered, then got to work. I planned my time again.

8:00pm. I can do my PowerPoint in two hours. Then it'll be 10:00pm, and then I have another 2 hours to study for Maths until 12:00am. So I did as planned. I even finished earlier than expected.

Damn crazy. Lucky I can plan my time well. These days I've been having only an average of 6 hours of sleep every day. Sometimes 5 hours. When I'm lucky and college doesn't start at 8:00am, I get more hours of sleep. I don't know why but since I enrolled in Uniprep, I've been sleeping really late even though it's weekdays. Back in BBS... sleep at 10:00pm... max 11:00pm.

BACK TO THURSDAY

Okay so today I had to go to Uniprep at 8:00am even though it starts at 9:00am. Why? Long story. Point is I was lonely sitting around in the Design Studio all by myself doing...? STUDYING for Maths. Again. I'm so diligent.

-Design Lecture-
...
...
...

-Maths Class-
Test time... I don't know, I felt I could do it, but... When we discussed it after the test... Not so sure about my marks anymore. But to hell with it! Maths test is over! My worries are over!

For lunch break, we went to Pacific Place to eat at Pancious again yummm. But since a plate of pasta is too big for myself and I had no one to share it with, I ordered something new: Pancake Bolognaise.

Don't order it. Trust me. You can check out my mobile blog to see its pic.


We were late by half an hour to the Design Studio class. But we hardly did anything anyway. I was far from inspired and I didn't draw ANY, ANY new sketches! Omg. Ma'am brought with her a whole pile of materials and an electronic Styrofoam cutter, so we ended up playing around with that.

Alyssa made heart pins!

And the coolest of all, look what Aly made!!!

A super emo tree. Cool eh? Then I suggested to paste a heart there to make it seem like a fruit. Livia did all the pasting. Then I took the pic! Credits, credits! Hahaha. Sorry for the price tag there ;p

She also made this:

A & L for Alyssa and her boyfriend whose name I'm not sure how to write out. Lawrence? I think that's how it goes? I cut out that funny-looking guy's face.

At the end of the day, our tables and floor is completely littered with pyrofoam (is that what it's called?). But it was fun :)

Oh and and anddd, tomorrow is FRIDAAAY!!! YAAAAAAYY!!!

When I first entered Uniprep, I had hopes and expectations. Excitement, for the new class I've never had - Design.

Labels: design class, emo, Uniprep

Finally, it is Friday. This one week went by soooo slowly! Back in BBS, one week felt like... 2 days -_-.

So today I had my very first Design class in Uniprep. During the lecture, we each received two THICK books: DESIGN Lecture and Tutorial and Twentieth-Century Design (Oxford History of Art). We discussed about "visual languange" - the elements and principles. It was a bloody long lecture (2 hours), and we were exhausted after the lesson.



So during the 15-minutes break before the Tutorial class, we design students went to the cafeteria. Petrick, Martin and Livia ate nasi goreng (which looked GOOD), and we all watched Cartoon Network, laughing pretty loudly at the stupid cartoons.



During Tutorial class, we had our very first assignment! The teacher showed examples by last year's students, and they were pretty good. I must say, it is very different when you have a class where everyone is interested to design, than from a class where students take Art classes as more of a free period (spell: Bina Bangsa School).



We started making sketches of rough drafts. People were confused, some were clueless. Some were already drawing it in. I was part of the majority who were still drafting. I had quite a lot of ideas, but they were tedious work =S.

Lucky for us, it is due next Thursday. HOWEVER. Saturday is the only day I have off. On Sunday I'll be going for another receptionist work for my Uncle's sister's engagement party x.x. I sure am hot stuff for being hired so much. Lawl xD. But seriously. I have to finish my Math, my English Learner Journal, and the Design assignment T_T.



So Uniprep ended at 12pm. My brother and I picked up my mom and dad, thanking god we are not in the Science/Commerce stream, who are dismissed at 3/4pm every day. My whole family went to Mandala, ate a LOT, continued to Millenium where we shopped like mad, then dropped my mom back home. My brother and I proceeded to Puri Indah Mall. I shopped in Gramedia, hunting for my Design class basic essentials (during which I NEVER knew that an Art Book could cost Rp 87,000), glue stick, sharpener, 30cm clear ruler, and a set of 5 thin notebooks all for Rp 18,500 (15% discount).



I head off to Sox Gallery next, where I bought 2 ankle socks (at last), for Rp 19,400 each. Why am I putting in all the prices, I really don't know. I just seem to remember them all. Amazing.



Satisfied at last, though afraid I might have bought the wrong Art Book, I went home, and... here I am! Blogging about the end of my first week in college.
