Return from a Long Absence

let's see..
wat happened since last post

oh right..
My digital art skills imrpoved significantly over the months.

Somehow, I'm not doomed for UTAR either.
I'm going to MMU [Multimedia University] for a degree in Film and Animation.
UTAR is totally off, since i didn't pay the deposit by the deadline
Why pay them when i can study wat i want in another uni?
Anyway, my offer letter from MMU isn't here yet, but they say i'm accepted.
I guess they're using snail post -shrugs-

Oh right.. What else is new..
In April, I learnt to make plushies.
At end of April, I started online craft business with my best friend.

Early May, I'm into realistic potrait drawing [the ones with lots of shading involved]

May 06, as in today, I planned to make human form plushies for sale.
Starting with simple coloured famous characters that'll be a hit with buyers.

Alright. That's the general outline of wat happened to me.
I stopped blogging after the blow of not getting to pursue my dreams.
Now that future is looking quite good for me, I'm returning though might not be as active as last time.

doomed for UTAR

UTAR, University Tunku Abdul Rahman
why?
financial problem
anyways i already brainwashed myself to accept it
the bright side, after arts, i love chemistry
so, i'm going to get a Bachelor of Science(Hons) in Chemistry in UTAR

in my previous post, before the one about chinese new year
i did mention that i learnt a lot by myself in just 1 month ++

Advent Children - Wind Beneath My Wings

this song has such deep meaning i just feel like sharing~ And this vid suit the song perfectly. Tifa and Aerith don't hate each other like most people say.

Slow Me Down - Emmy Rossum Official Music Video

My current craze. She's also the actress for the movie Phantom of the Opera. She's so good~

UTAR??

My parents are so attracted to the low tuition fees for Universiti Tunku Abdul Rahman(UTAR). Thanks to the prospectus stained with rain water... >_> They are SERIOUSLY considering to send me to UTAR. Fine, i have to face the cruel fact that there's not enough money to support my tuition fees in LKW. Alright... Let's see.. Other than animation, I am interested in Chemistry. Therefore, part of me decided to take Chemical Engineering IF i ever go for UTAR. Done a lot of research today online. And asked a friend to ask his cousin whether Chemical Engineering degree programme is available in KL/PJ campuses. If not, I'll have to go all the way to Kampar,Perak campus for 4 years. Anyway. I'll definitely take the Foundation in Science in PJ/KL campus.

Fees:-
Foundation in Science : RM6'200
Bachelor in Engineering(Hons):Chemical Engineering : RM36'000-RM38'000

5 years in total.

Then i went to a forum i have not visited for a few months.

Added a student of UTAR and also in FOE (Faculty of Engineering) in MSN to ask for advice.

New Handphone~ :D

This morning, I went to the phone shop with parents. I am sticking with the NOKIA brand. And i just want a colour screen. I don't care about other riff-raffs like MP3/ camera/ radio/ etc etc.. Well, i told this to my parents before we went to the shop. And guess what. My mom insist that i choose the one with MP3 and cam which costs RM390. I only like the fact that it's thin, more compact and have colour screen, which is what i'm looking for. The model is NOKIA 2630.

stupid friggin' PICKPOCKET!!!!

well anyway, stupid me.

short story:- at around 6pm, while boarding train from MidValley train station back to Seremban, my handphone got stolen by a pickpocket. and realised it around 2 minutes after. and confirmed it was stolen by calling my handphone with my friend's. and called Dad to cancel SIM card around 20min after...

lonnnnggg story:- went to MidValley for education exhibition. at around 8.30am, go to meet Klaire and Piggy at railway station. at around 9am, we board train to Midvalley. At around 10.30am, we reached. Then, start to remember the shops and ways to go back to the railway station once we reached inside MidValley giant shopping mall (which have North, West, South, and East AND Centre Courts)..... Then went to ground floor to search for the exhibition for a loonnnggg loonnnnggg time. Then we finally read the map -.-" the exhibition centre is at top floor..... =.=""""" alrighty the most stylo and professional and attractive and outspoken booth is LimKokWing University of Creative Technology. Expected. Anyway, went for a tiringgg shopping (the mall IS big)... Turns out i only bought a top while my friends bought quite er... a lot. And when we board the train, and when we're in the train, i realised my handphone got stolen. Fortunately, my I.C. and cash all is secured with my free hand (the one not holding bags of education prospectus) over the pocket. While my other pocket (which contains the handphone) is.... unguarded. Well, all is done. SIM card got cancelled. He can no longer use up my credits and cannot misuse my phonebook. And, basically it's worthless as he can only sell it not more than RM30 (if anyone wants it) since the model is and olddd one, a not so multi functional one etc etc. but stil, it's my phone -.-"

Bye Moon~

Moon going to National Service tomorrow (Saturday) for 3 whole months. So i decided to see her today. At her home, i gave her late Christmast and early birthday prezzies. We played badminton, listen to songs, chat bout anything, played guitar, etc etc. Bye Moon reflector of light, i'll miss you~

The One Academy (Goodbye)

You might need to highlight this paragraph to read it:-

No more TOA for me.... T^T My family against me going to TOA for Digital Animation course. My mom gave me the green light a few weeks ago. Anyway, they have valid reasons. Since they are spending a bomb on the tuition fees, might as well send me to the best, which is LimKokWing University of Creative Technology. Which is even more expensive than The One Academy. But the fact that LKW has a campus of its own etc, they say it's better to just go LKW and get a degree. And that is only assuming i can get a scholarship/loan in my 2nd yr. The living expenses and stuff they all calculated and showed my mom.. -.-" Obviously, my mom is against me going for that course in that institution immediately. She even suggested that i go for Form6. What? Form6? waste 2 years on form6??? No fucking way, thank you.

Sous chef

My eldest sister came home today. We went shopping for dinner ingredients at Jusco. What??? No more Corianders and strawberries? Then we went to the market, and Family Store. No luck. As final measure, my eldest sister whips out her phone and requested for my 2nd sister's help. Then we went home and prepare dinner. Learnt lots of new stuff today. How to see whether something is fresh, the way to cut and slice different stuff, etc etc. Cooked lots of dishes. Yum.. As usual, my eldest sister loves to exaggerate and experiment with food. I became sous chef (The Sous Chef is the direct assistant of the executive chef and is second in command). Lol.. Anyway, the best part is, the dessert!!!!~~~ Yummy strawberries and marshmallows dipped in melted Belgian chocolate. Mmmmm.... Then my 2nd sister came home with her hubby. We had dinner at 7pm.

Winter Soltice Festival

Winter Solstice Festival 　 As early as 2,500 years ago, about the Spring and Autumn Period (770-476 BC), China had determined the point of Winter Solstice by observing movements of the sun with a sundial. It is the earliest of the 24 seasonal division points. The time will be each December 22 or 23 according to the Gregorian calendar. The Northern hemisphere on this day experiences the shortest daytime and longest nighttime. After the Winter Solstice, days will become longer and longer. As ancient Chinese thought, the yang, or muscular, positive things will become stronger and stronger after this day, so it should be celebrated. The Winter Solstice became a festival during the Han Dynasty (206 BC-220 AD) and thrived in the Tang and Song dynasties (618-1279). The Han people regarded Winter Solstice as a "Winter Festival", so officials would organize celebrating activities. On this day, both officials and common people would have a rest. The army was stationed in, frontier fortresses closed and business and traveling stopped. Relatives and friends presented to each other delicious food. In the Tang and Song dynasties, the Winter Solstice was a day to offer scarifies to Heaven and ancestors. Emperors would go to suburbs to worship the Heaven; while common people offered sacrifices to their deceased parents or other relatives. The Qing Dynasty (1644-1911) even had the record that "Winter Solstice is as formal as the Spring Festival," showing the great importance attached to this day. In some parts of Northern China, people eat dumpling soup on this day; while residents of some other places eat dumplings, saying doing so will keep them from frost in the upcoming winter. But in parts of South China, the whole family will get together to have a meal made of red-bean and glutinous rice to drive away ghosts and other evil things. In other places, people also eat tangyuan, a kind of stuffed small dumpling ball made of glutinous rice flour. The Winter Solstice rice dumplings could be used as sacrifices to ancestors, or gifts for friends and relatives. The Taiwan people even keep the custom of offering nine-layer cakes to their ancestors. They make cakes in the shape of chicken, duck, tortoise, pig, cow or sheep with glutinous rice flour and steam them on different layers of a pot. These animals all signify auspiciousness in Chinese tradition. People of the same surname or family clan gather at their ancestral temples to worship their ancestors in age order. After the sacrificial ceremony, there is always a grand banquet.

Happy Birthday Piggy!
