Mi Journal

It still feel unbelievable that it will be 2016 tomorrow. I checked back, I didn't make a resolution for 2015 so I actually have no goals this year lol. This year has also been one of my best years and I am grateful for that. I hope 2016 will treat me well too. I decided not to do any resolution because I might end up being demotivated. Hahahahaha Just gonna do my best again as usual. As you approach adulthood, new years became more insignificant, or at least it is for me. I don't feel the excitement like I do during my younger days. I guess it just wore off. ;_; Anyway, see you all next year! Have a great one and be healthy always. ^_^

Sudden middle hair parting Sometimes it looks nice, other times it looks ugh But this is nice I think Hahaha JC Night is 2 weeks away!! I'm kinda scared because I still have to complete the choreography for the junior dance and the everyone dance. >_< Have to do fast fast fast. Plus, it's week 6 so my assignments are piling up. Gonna have a Christmas holiday soon so I shall use the time wisely! For the senior dance, I'm still a bit worried. We already got the steps except we are not synchronized. FML Usually everyone has a different tempo and sometimes it is made worse because they do not listen to suggestions on how we can be synchronized. T_T I know everyone's tired but I hope everyone can be more hardworking~ After our senior dance, Hakumei. If we're not careful, we can really hit each other hahaha. The song was too fast for our slow bod so for the official performance, we'll slow down the song by 10% lol. Maybe next tim...

Yayyy I wrote my long skirt todayyy. Been waiting so long for the chance but it never seemed to come so today I thought, F it, I'm not waiting anymore. I always end up wearing rather mis-matched colored clothings, i don't know why.. I need a stylist! Or maybe this is my style hahaha God bless my faculty's lighting. Makes my skin look so bright and clear. Today's class was kinda fast, fast consultation on my rotoscoping assignment progress and off we go. ^_^ So! For what happened last week. We had a dance session last Wed. Some people didn't come but I guess they have their reasons though I have to admit I'm a bit anxious about their progress. >_< I hope we'll be able to make it on time for JC Night! I recorded some videos of them dancing for analyzing later hahaha. I also want to keep it as a memory because once JC Night is over, I might not have any real job as a dance leader anymore so I'll have to give it my all now. ...

Hi guys! I'm back! This week, it was pretty relaxing at uni, not much assignments yet but next week will be the bomb. We have started preparing for JC Night already. I'm in charge of dance and Fion's helping me with some of the dances that I won't have the time to cover because there will be 3 dances for the event itself. It's taking place on the 14th of January 2016 by the way~  ^ Trying to do our ending pose. I must say that this is the hardest dance among the 3, not because of the steps (which are pretty simple) but because of the bamboo sticks! It's taller than us and we are not accustomed to swinging that thing around. ;_; We occasionally hit each other when we have different angles of the stick or when someone is faster/slower. It won't be a problem if everybody's on time but Panda's injured her ankle which caused her unable to do some steps. OTL We will still be trying our best though! I REALLY hope I can complete teaching everybod...

Somehow I was kind of discouraged when this sem starts, no idea why though. Usually I've be psyched to start the sem but this time is kinda meh. On the first day, I've already received assignments (noooo) and club events invitation (noooo). Goals this sem are : 1. Take less event. Read : Accept those that are necessary only and not out of obligation. 2. Be more healthy which includes more sleep, exercise, food and positive thoughts. 3. Maintain grades or probably aim higher.  4. Conquer speaking in public and sociability (trying every sem) Jess's birthday was last week and I have actually prepared a present for her about 3 months ago. I thought it suited her very much when I saw this cat ring! Cute or not?! She wore it to class the next day. <3 I'm trying to wear nicely for this semester because as everyone knows, they said animation students usually wear the most casual outfits a.k.a i'm-too-tired-and-lazy-to-make-an-effort but I want...

Sad to say, tomorrow is the first day of school again. It's not that I don't like school but I'm just not particularly looking forward to the sleepless nights which are bound to happen. Anyway, I'm also looking forward to meeting my friends again and exciting things that may come! Previously, I made a list about what I'm going to complete this sem break and suffice to say, I did almost half of them~ I just didn't manage to do posts about Japan because I always can't find the mood too lol. I'm always procrastinating ugh. Anyway, I should look forward to the new sem brightly. I will be having most of my classes with my twinnie and yay, no class on Fridays! Till next time. Again. I'm hungry now.

I'm really happy for this time's break because it is 4 weeks!! Usually it's only 3. I just got back from Japan yesterday morning and was so exhausted I slept for 8 hours straight twice. Now I have 2 more weeks to spend before the semester resumes. What I'm thinking of doing is... 1. Finish my journal about my experience in Japan. 2. Draw (It's been so long) 3. Bonding Camp (next week) 4. Learn dances. 5. Sleep sleep sleep. 6. Some posts about Japan. I'm taking in all the freedom I have now before I'm tied again to responsibilities when uni starts. Next sem's gonna be quite different. I will try to take in less events because I'm always making myself have lack of sleep. I have to get all the rest I needed in this holiday. Giang's graduated and it's definitely going to feel empty but I'll just cope with it. Sometimes when I thought of it, my heart just dropped and I have to hold back my tears while trying hardly to distract myse...

Corporate Identity is one of our electives where we have to design branding for the company of our choice. At the last class, we held an exhibition for our works and externals from TARC will come and take a look. Our table~ Our company is a bakery on our campus. I really like their breads! We designed the signboard, packaging, logo, name card, letterhead, envelope and mini food flags. We bought the breads and cut them as samples to promote our booth hahaha. With Sandy and Jessica~ Friends since foundation; different courses now.  Luckily we still have some subjects together. With the team : Rino and the buddies.. Except Rino is not in the picture. Enn Chee too lol #corporateidentitymmu in Instagram and your picture will appear on screen! Preparation stage. We went around and got some food from other booths hahaha XD I got some free sticky notes too! #freebiesforlife Got this from Leong's booth which is coincidentally the booth...

I have a 3D Modelling class and for the final assignment, we have to model a character in 3 weeks. The lecturer recommended us to not model anime characters because it will be hard, especially their eyes. I decided to anyway because I don't know much non-anime character. ;_; *sobs* I decided on doing Suou Rin because I really like her outfit and I like Rin. <3 I wasted the first week not doing any modelling because I was rushing to meet other assignment's deadline so I have to start at the end of the 2nd week, which left me with only a week to complete. OTZ I redid the head SO. MANY. TIMES. but I can't really get it right but I'm also running out of time so I proceed with the rest of her body. The hair itself took me 2-3 days omg because I made this 'wise' decision to model it complicatedly. I just don't want it to look plain. ;_; Sleeping at 3am everyday for a week happened after that. The eyes are also a challenge because they ar...

Dressed all formal and prepped up for a presentation.. Only to have it cancelled 30 minutes before due to unavailability of external panels. OTZ OTZ OTZ Or maybe it was their scheme to make sure all students finished their work on time. Hmm..      Anyway, it was the last swimming session for this semester and also Giang's last official session. I didn't get to swim at all this semester because I was too busy either doing assignments or events or other stuff but I always made sure to come as often as I can to their session though that doesn't happen often. ;_;      It was a serene night. Giang brought his GoPro to film around and take photographs. I was a bit sadden that I can't go down and take with everyone in the pool but it's okay. I still get to take on land hahaha. Better than nothing though it does remind that everything will be different next semester. They played around taking funny pics underwater. I'm happy they are...

There will be many things happening 4 weeks later; both good and sad. Time is running out but I know life goes on. 4 more weeks and I'll be in Japan again!! I'm quite excited. But 4 more weeks and Giang and Cindy (an exchange student from HK) will be leaving MMU. Realization just hit close recently and I couldn't stop imagining the day that I won't see them again or probably not often. I'm trying to spend more with them, appreciate the moments and taking in everything. Now, I'm not being negative but it is indeed saddening to think how everything will be different next semester. We won't be having our daily dinner with Giang anymore, nor have someone to play with. I will surely miss both of them. I know I have to buckle up because I have to accept reality even though it's not what I want but I've learned that life is like that. Growing up, a lot of people will leave you but it's up to us whether we still keep in touch or not. So for now,...

I am so exhausted, mentally. Never would I imagine that I would so soon reach a stage where I just feel like dropping everything. But, of course, I can't because I know this is just a temporary feeling. Degree has been strict and busy. More so than Foundation. But maybe it was just not the academics. I've been super active with events as well. Some, I don't even have a choice to quit. I had to take it all in. Other than that, I worry about my results too. I have a few groups going in a not-so-good direction because of the leaders' incompetency and I do not know what I can do to help them as I look at us dropping behind all others. I tried all I can but what you can do don't count much if other members' are lazy. I am a perfectionist (I remind myself that I have to be real too) and I get paranoid/panicky when I see things not doing as well as I want, especially when it's not under my control fully. For this trimester alone, I've done 5 events and 3 ...

Convofest takes place for 5 days and I am involved with their opening ceremony dance. It's a collaboration between 5 clubs to produced the 1mmu dance. Basically, it's a dance made up of people from different ethnicity in Malaysia. Sis and I were there to represent the Chinese people haha. We danced to a Namibia, Chinese, Indian, Sabahan and Malay song. Will be doing the same routine too for the closing ceremony this coming Monday. Practicing on the balcony which is also attached to a rooftop.  Such a relaxing feeling, sitting on top without any barrier, above all else. Cheongsam! It's actually my first time wearing it out because it was too loose last time. Guess I grew up.  Photo taken by Giang. So bright till eyes can't open. Windyyy dayyy Walked around Convofest the next day and received this from Nisa! "Are you my phone charger? Because I'd die without you." Craft items. Since I love lov...

I tell you. Degree life is completely different than Foundation year. It requires you to be more independent and sometimes that itself is stressful enough. You must have self-confidence and persistence to pull through when things get tough because you won't really have nice lecturers who caringly encourage you to try better next time. They are nice too now but in a much strict way. A demonstration of caricature by lect. He chose me to draw ^_^ Then I tried caricature on my friends.... First time! Character design for character development assignment. I quite like this assignment even though it is stressful because you have to produce a lot of content in a short amount of time. Creating characters have always been one of my favorite part of art so it was quite fun! She's called Noi, by the way. Sketch Attack assignment where we have to draw ourself. Quite awkward though. "Presentation is everything", my lects always said. Sometimes the...
