Step Into My Shoes

Nuts about ...

2010-02-28T13:54:00.006+08:00

I've been pretty busy on the assignments again since last week. But not even completed single assignment. Sigh. The past two weeks have mostly about chinese new year open house, a gathering in college; so forth. In order to submit all the assignments in time, this week will see me at home for a week until the mid semester break; and then i shall have a week of holiday, hopefully.

God bless.

I bought plenty of gifts from hallmark gift shop while i was shopping alone at Mid Valley before chinese new year. I found them are interesting and it is something i want to buy for friends without any purposes. I sent one "Aya" japanese toy to cindy, another two for my nephews; and "nuts about my friend & work" are for Katheryn and her boyfriend, and the "nuts about golf" is for my dear boyfriend.

So, what are you nuts about? Perhaps i could get the right one for you..

Panning shot

2010-02-17T14:46:00.001+08:00

It's been a long time. I've not been practicing my photography skill for about three months. Thus, i try to catch up some photos i took in folders that show different category of P.S. Practice makes perfect, but i always neglect my d70s, it supposed to be with me everywhere. I thought to take some photos during this chinese new year, but i just left it in my room for the past few days.

Secondly, i am back to KL. The first feeling i got into the apartment, it is quiet. And i knew that i gonna be pretty bored doing the assignments while others still enjoying their holiday.

I need a short nap. I miss someone. Too bad.

You strike a raw nerve

2010-02-06T19:21:00.004+08:00

I hate negative vibes. I know that you care about me, i know that you are anxious and worried that i would make a wrong decision and regret in the end but what i need is support. If you really care about me, please have faith in me. Trust me. I am aware of the consequences of my actions. We all have dreams and this is what i am doing and what i want for my future. Even if i fail, at least i know i've tried.

You. Touched a raw nerve and yes, it hurts.

I don't need people questioning me about taking a break.

I only hope you could kiss my wounds and tell me that everything is going to be okay.

I am happy with my living. It is tired though.

Would it be HISTORY?

2010-01-31T21:09:00.001+08:00

It is probably a lot easier to walk away from what we have, rather than to keep holding on. Emotionally, my strength is very limited now. I feel like i no longer want to express myself or discuss it anymore. I've started to give up.

What good things we've had in the past become history, and it's the time to move on.. I want to go far away, i need a fresh start where nobody knows me, perhaps?

Recently, things have become obvious, and the solution for me to take has become more obvious. Letting it go might be painful. It is just.. life is life, it is always complicated.

cheers. love. amanda

Sichuan Cuisine + Snowflake

2010-01-22T12:25:00.007+08:00

[Sichuan Cuisine]

[Snowflake]

[CNY decoration is up @ Pavilion KL]

Yesterday, we went Pavilion for the movie "Haunted Universities" (Thai film), it was a lousy movie i could say. I have not been watching horror films for almost a year, so i thought it might be scary as there was a thai film named "Shutter", it was best!

We had Sichuan cuisine @ Imbi road before went to Pavilion shopping mall. I fell in love with it as i always have a good appetite on spicy food.

Window shopping for a while and we found "Snowflake" dessert, a kiosk located somewhere under the escalator, near Tangs.. I couldn't recognise it at my first glance, however it reminded me when i took its photo. I'd tried this dessert in Taiwan, a place called "九份"; i like the bestseller of snowflake, still i prefer the hot made than cold made.

Lately, I personally enjoy with the lomo shoot. It might lack of focusing, not in real color.. so forth. Completely for fun, indeed.

Golf beginner

2010-01-17T20:40:00.005+08:00

First of all, i yet take any golf courses. I am pretty interested to learn golf although it is rare to see i involved in sports. I played squash, tennis, basketball and badminton before; *hey, i'm not that lazy* alright. Yesterday, i accompanied him again for his golf practice and i took the above photos by using iphone's lomo camera; i bought this application through iTune store, 1.99USD. The photos came out pretty nice, indeed. I should start my golf lesson after chinese new year, eight lessons in total for beginner level and the fee is RM500. Sometimes, I felt extremely bored; that was why i would like to spend my time wisely besides my current studies. I took a long time start learning yoga as i was waiting a companion; my dear friend, June. She is ABSOLUTELY a super busy girl, we have been talking about it since the beginning of last year. Thus, either i start alone; or find someone else.

Kind of lazy to do the research for ID assignment. Perhaps, I should start the FS drafting part first. What so ever. Get myself a cold drink first. I need a break. Chill.

A relaxed year over, and busier times to come

2010-01-11T21:01:00.001+08:00

Still feel sick. It should be fully recovered, i thought.

There was a small amendment of the schedule, i concluded that we have only three days classes in a week; but 5 main subjects in this semester. [dan, i edited this whole post due to the updated timetable]

Look at the schedule,

Never mind it will be a long semester.

Never mind it ends at six in the evening, mostly of each day.

Never mind it will take all of my time.

It is getting interesting, i thought. I will enjoy it.

Good Bye 2009

2009-12-30T13:10:00.001+08:00

Wow! In just less than 2 days, we are going to welcome year 2010. As usual, i used to make my New Year resolutions; however, i wonder why we make it every year since the present resolution is not even accomplished so far. Indeed, i haven't truly completed any new year resolution, ever.

So the coming year, i would not make traditional resolution. Instead, i'll choose a word that describes how i would like my year to be. For the year of 2010, the word will be "Growth" - I want to be aware in my everyday life, and be persistent on studies. So in what word would you like to describe your hopes for 2010?

Looking back at everything i've done in 2009, am i a better person or am i pretty much the same when i reach the end of the year? Not much different, isn't it?

Anyway, good bye to year 2009, thank you for the ups and downs, i appreciate the memories, and the obstacles that made me wiser.

So, to all my dear friends and families, Happy New Year and see you all soon in next year!!!!

Holiday: Activity 2

2009-12-26T02:04:00.007+08:00

Stayed a night @ The Legend Water Chalets, Port Dickson.

Christmas eve, we had our dinner at El Cactus, a mexican food restaurant. I was too hungry so we placed our first order earlier, appetizer: nachos.

We spent most of the time in the chalet, relaxed and chit chat in the balcony.

The beach at PD was polluted since ten years ago, so we never expect the sea is crystal clear or clean... There is nothing we could do there but it's still a place to spend our weekend somewhere out of the city.

Holiday: Activity 1

2009-12-19T13:06:00.001+08:00

The photos were randomly taken, it wasn't good shot that's why i cropped all of them into one piece. And later about 3pm, i will be going to Pavilion with June to buy christmas gifts before meeting Naresh them for dinner.

What to do... This HOLIDAY!

2009-12-16T23:56:00.007+08:00

I thought i would not post anything here, at least a week later since my last post. However... I am completely bored. All of the sudden, since i am bored; why not go crazy!!! I am bored because my daily routine somehow i felt it is too systematic! Currently, i love my room. It's the only place i could enjoy privacy while decorating it is something i love to do all the time. It is messy when my assignments are due for submission or during assessment week. But i take care of it after end of the semester ;)

So i have about three weeks to spare, what to do then?

There is always a thing to do, a big world out there to explore but i am not doing that. When i check my phone contacts, i realize there isn't anyone i could call. It might because most of my friends are busy working. Audrey said i was too choosy when it comes to make a new friend. I agree, that was me three years ago.

Anyway, i want to talk about the plan i have for this holiday.

Since i not gonna visit my friends in england, I want to go somewhere like bukit tinggi, pahang; hoping there's a festive atmosphere on the day of christmas, but no one seems to have time. I want to go some other places, but financially broke till end of the month.

So, once again, what to do then?! Speechless.

Guess i will do random stuffs this whole week.

Status of my mind

2009-12-14T21:27:00.007+08:00

Tonight, is a very long night to me. I hate myself sometimes. I act differently lately.

I'll give a pause on this blog, temporarily. I quite satisfied on Twitter, i shall post what am i up to, good/ bad news.. and so on.

cheers. love. amanda

Common ideas

2009-12-01T21:13:00.011+08:00

I've plenty of ideas, i'd included certain finishes in those sketches of the residential bathroom and bedroom, however; my whole concept doesn't apply into it due to limited area, and market demand.

Bookshelves,

I always love to have a bookshelf in every single corner of my house; bookshelves in 1. study room 2. living room 3. dining room 4. kitchen 5. bathroom 6. bedroom.

The most i like is the bookshelves in study room, i would prefer the bookshelves with LIBRARY LADDER. I feel comfortable to be surrounded with all the good books i love to read.

I've seen the bookshelves in some of the european houses were built along the staircase, or under the stair. Most of the designers nowadays tend to satisfy the requirements of their customers, still, it would be best if we could sell our ideas and concepts based on their needs while maintaining the basis of each design.

An idle moment

2009-11-23T17:35:00.002+08:00

A friend asked me, am i not happy or LOST again; i wondered why he said so, he replied that i have been writing the blog quite often, lately. I stunned for a second. He did wake me up that moment.

I would skip this topic anyway. On top of it, I will try not to depend on my family anymore, they never stop worry on me most probably because i am the youngest? whatsoever.

I will spend my two weeks on final assignments. cheers. love. amanda

Climate Change + Global Warming

2009-11-22T08:47:00.010+08:00

I wonder how many people out there do really care about the 'Earth', of course i am not the one really putting my effort into it; still, i concerned what is happening around us every single day. We start to GO GREEN after i've learned and studied the facts of global warming during a green campaign. Indeed, how many of us are being 'green'? I use less plastic bags, that's what i could do almost everyday; other than that, i am doing my best on it.

Let's check out the following website, Ms. Lee does provide us some informative links about this.

Let's start it before the time is no longer be our side.

2012

2009-11-17T01:33:00.005+08:00

This film took two hours and forty-nine minutes long, i hardly got into the cinema since last thursday, the first day of 2012 released in the cinemas; i did put high expectation on it after heard the comment from some of my friends. Before that, i was in no doubt on their review about this movie. Unfortunately, i do, right now.

The whole piece of film was nothing special to me, i expect something extraordinary, hoping there was something more compare to The Day After Tomorrow. Too bad i found it was too dramatic in certain sceneries, i not even felt touching but annoying; I think it could because the way their acted. Moreover, i found it was quite ridiculous while nobody else could ever think to board the aircrafts illegally besides jackson's family. When i reflect every single part of the film, nothing was impressive while most of the parts were not in detail.

The only thing i could say, i enjoyed watching it as an action movie, but it's just not the one i'll watch it for second times.

Remembering the shinning moments of Michael Jackson

2009-11-08T19:26:00.003+08:00

Watched "THIS IS IT" last friday with my classmates. The film is kind of documentary from MJ's rehearsal footage shot for his planned run of fifty concerts in London.

To be frankly, his music is legendary. Although most of the people saying that he has been acting weird the past ten years, involved in child sexual abuse and so on; i would leave those so called his scandals, rumors and mysteries aside. I might not his super big fan, still; i do appreciate all of his songs. He was a great dancer. I respect him yet pity on him, what are all about?! Certainly, some people might agree with me but some may not. I will relate to the term of brave, and sacrifice.

I bought his last piece of album, 'This Is It'. It's precious to me.

Lastly, I would like to say, "Good bye, Michael Jackson!" The King of Pop, we'll remember you forever.

Looking for a drafting table

2009-10-20T00:48:00.000+08:00

Photos credited to ME :)

Tired of drafting. Took a fresh air out there.

Update the news. Upload the photos.

Continue it again. Sleepy :(

Eat out at KL area

2009-10-15T17:32:00.000+08:00

Got back to home. Felt hungry.

Think of eating all kind of food.. and my favorite type of desserts. Gosh..

Reflect the freshness of sashimi at Zen restaurant, the nasi lemak @ naili's taipan which perfectly suit my taste buds after i tried out the popular one at kampung baru, KL; the blueberry cheesecake @ RT pastry house, thinking of ice cream too from haagen dazs... .... too many to list down.. Seriously feel hungry now.

Updated: 9:44pm

Finally, i'd my dinner at KL. We ate Szechuan cuisine. This considered was my second times of eating chinese cuisine which originated from Szechuan, China. The restaurant located @ Imbi road along the Park Royal Hotel. The taste of the food there is definitely authentic especially the signature dish was perfectly bringing out the taste of the origin, szechuan red chillies fish. Extremely spicy but we love it what so ever...

Victor and his little princess' wedding dinner

2009-10-14T17:05:00.015+08:00

[Victor "PinChong" (the bridegroom), Lay Chin (the bride) and Xiao Loh]

Congratulation to the married couple!!! The bride is so lovely and sweet. Wishing both of them a lifetime of everlasting love and happiness!

I'd been wondering for months why i got too lazy on doing my assignments and projects, therefore i realize that i should go for gym or yoga; somehow, it simply because i got tired and sleepy everyday. It's time to take a short nap, then start doing the tech drawing for tomorrow class. ciao. love. amanda.

Good night. dear....

2009-10-10T23:42:00.008+08:00

What a boring night. Supposed to catch a movie tonight, but called off in last minute. Wanna watch the Surrogates and Sorority Row. Since i'm doing nothing, so i login to msn; which i'm not usually doing it. Met a friend, surprised me as most of the people should be out there partying or something on this saturday night; we chit chat about general topics. He recommended me an ongoing film, 500 Days Of Summer. The story line does attract me, i shall watch it by next monday.

How many people like us believe in fairy tale? I do believe, seriously. Am i too naive of believing that true love do exist in this world? Who can assure me on that? Nobody, indeed.

Listening to oldies song, you're the inspiration by chicago. I think i should learn of downloading a movie, otherwise i will be bored this entire night. Don't feel to read a book anyway.

Dear Diary

2009-10-06T01:23:00.004+08:00

My good mood was changed entirely after received a call in the evening. I miss my diary indeed. I swore that i would never write my personal diary anymore since my mom read it when i aged 15. But at this moment, i feel sad seriously.

Dear diary,

I'd a long talk with him. I've insisted my decision due to several reasons, it seems not acceptable; but for the time being, at least, be understanding. I feel bad to end it this way, but what i supposed to do besides telling the truth, i already did the best i could. Somehow, i wish god could show me the right direction; never leave me out there, wandering nowhere like a foolish. I am ... seriously, stressed out.

It is ridiculous that I thought i could change it, it isn't easy as what i predicted before. It freaked me out indeed.

I need a good sleep. Never bother me again. I mean it.

p/s: dear readers, pls skip this post as i believe nobody could understand it. I am just released a bad moment of my day.

ciao. love. amanda.

Term break starts.

2009-09-18T22:33:00.005+08:00

Submitted all the assignments and projects by today, supposed to feel good however i'd the weird feeling. Bored at this hour, supposed to watch movie but called off as all of us were tired after the dinner.

How am i going to spend these two weeks of holiday? I've no plan yet. I'll be going to malacca this coming sunday for a day break. I am just thinking to eat.... It always a good place to go.

Feel sleepy. I gonna go bed early tonight. I had been sleeping late for the past two weeks due to the high load of assignments and projects, but tonight; again, a rainy day out there gives me so much of comforts as i never sleep before 3 o'clock in the morning for about two weeks.

Anyway, here i wish all of my classmates a happy holiday and hope to catch up with them soonest in next term :D

Tiring + A Big Mess

2009-09-08T23:58:00.006+08:00

I've been working on assignment for many days, every single corner in my room is full with all the stuffs; it keeps me going in order to finish all the assignments on time, i did my best indeed. Today, i wasted the past few hours doing nothing; asked my friend out for dinner *it's supper for her*, we'd a 'speed chat', sipped lattes and drove back home within an hour time.

Headache, at the moment.

Reading news. Turn on iTunes, looking for soothing music.

Gastric pain.

Could not concentrate on the paintings. *sigh..*
