MACC is legendary!!!!

When I said- MACC, I wasn't referring to the Malaysia Anti-Corruption Commission. I was referring to the Malaysian Association of Chinese Comedians.

It was extremely h.i.l.l.a.r.i.o.us!

Laughed the whole 2 hours to the point of back aching and lack of breathe.

It was that good.

I saw the banner at Jaya 1 a week ago and was rather interested in it but then I figured I had plenty more time to decide. Then, it was on Friday that I read on Audrey's blog about how she went for the stand up comedian and she highly recommended it or rather one of the comedians asked her to promote it. =p

So, I asked around and in the end, my mum, aunt, 2 siblings, cousin & cousin's friend went for it and everyone had a very good laugh. Or many of it.

Some bits were a tad crude but I guess that's the way of humour these days. It was outrageously entertainings at certain points such as when ladydrivers were dissed by Chee Ho to the tune of "Hey Delilah" and Chinese were poke fun through Doughlas Lim's "Yellow" song to Beyonce's "Hello".

All races were made fun of. No stone was left unturned. All were poked fun at. From the latest "happenings" in our country such as the Allah hoorah to the cow and wild boar head episodes and even to our 'beloved' politicians.

It's good that we can sit back and laugh about it. Cos at the end of the day, it's better to have a laugh then to get upset at matters that are out of our control.

Definitely going to attend more of this kind of plays.

Do something about it

She's waited all that she can.
You're losing her,
That's if you haven't,
But do you even see it?

She can't wait forever,
Cos nothing is forever.
Once upon a time,
She thought she could.

She wants to be wooed and wowed,
To be swept off her size 7 feet.
She wants to be romanced,
and be reminded of the the good ol days.

It used to be clear as the sky,
when things were just black and white.
But with the raging storm
and the line now blurred,
Everything's a murky gray.

Everyday is getting harder,
Just waking up is a trouble.
Living from day to day,
Feels like an endless lay.

She wants to know,
when will her Prince Charming show.
Will he ever come,
if there's even one?

Happy 2010 - Part 4 -

Continuing from the previous week's Part 3 post on what guys would do....

Check out what one crazy fella did...

This is what one of them did.

Yup. Facing a pig as if... you get the picture. And if you don't, kudos and PLEASE retain your innocent mind!! You're one of the extinct breed now!! =p

The 2 monkeys - CM and PB

CAUGHT IN ACTION- Girl scoping.

People were taking picturs with all the 12 zodiacs.

People taking photography to the extreme.

Where to next... ??

We headed to the pond of liberation... to look at the turtles.

They don't look liberated at all. Not one bit!
In fact, they looked super oppressed.

And this concluded out Kek Lok Si Temple outing. I always was curious what there was to see hearing from people who've been there but there isn't much unless you go there to pray.

Adieu!!

Affordable & Elegant Centerpieces

If you’re looking for an elegant, but more affordable, centerpiece for your big day, then we suggest that you consider submerged centerpieces. Submerged centerpieces showcase your flowers in beautiful glassware where the flower is pushed into the vase and is submerged underwater. They can be used with any flowers, and often cost less because you are using less stems than you would in a traditional centerpieces. Additional items that can be used in this way would also include fruit, nuts, artichokes, mini pine cones, and stones. You can choose to add just enough water, or fill the vase to the top, which gives the vase contents a magnified appearance.

Pink Wedding Dresses

Pink Wedding Dresses & Pink Bridesmaid Dresses

If you want to give your big day a youthful feel, you should look into the option of pink wedding dresses & pink bridesmaid dresses. Though most brides usually go with a variety of white for their wedding gown, if you want to really stand out, you should consider a shade of pink for your big day dress. Though not always publicized very well, most wedding dresses do come in colors other than the tradition white or ivory variation. You can always pick your dream dress and then see what it takes to get it in pink if it isn't already manufactured in the shade you want.

Another option for a bride wanting a pink wedding dress is to look at stores that also sell prom or bridesmaid dresses. You can always get a prom or bridesmaid dress and add special touches to make it seem more like a dress worthy of the bride. Glitzy jewelry, shoes and hair can dress up any gown. If you decide to purchase a pink prom or bridesmaid dress to use as your bridal gown, just make sure the bridesmaid dresses aren't as glamorous or special and no one will be the wiser. Another benefit of going this route is that you will likely save quite a bit of money on your wedding gown.

Some brides are lucky enough to have a friend or relative working in the fashion business that can create their dress from scratch. If you can find a connection like this then you should be able to manufacture your dream pink wedding dress in no time.

Pink bridesmaid dresses are a more often occurrence in the wedding business. Stores like David's Bridal carry hundreds of styles of dresses in practically any shade you could wish for. One option is to do what many modern brides do and pick a shade of pink and then let your bridesmaids choose which style of dress works best for their particular body type. For a fun and flirty wedding you could go with a hot pink variety of dress. Or if you want a more classic and romantic feel you could definitely go with a light pink shade for your bridesmaids.

No matter what shade of pink or style of dress you choose, one thing is for sure. Looking into the option of pink wedding dresses & pink bridesmaid dresses will not be something you will soon regret (M T).

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are breaking up!!!

Hello darlings (yes..you and you and you who are reading this posts (^_^)

I assume you guys have heard on the Brangelina's-coming-soon-separation-news.

Oh well, I guess that's the price you have to pay when you choose your path as a celebrity, what more a Hollywood celebrity! Pheww...must be exhausted to be one.

Well, I'm not going on about who's fault was it and such, but according to one of the reports, Angelina is sick of Brad's laddish lifestyle which includes nights out with the boys along with his new habit of drinking beers. 

As for Brad, he feels that Angelina should get some psychiatric help. Oh wow, so much for a happy ending. Okay, I feel like singing one of Avril's song..'so much for a happy ending' here. Maybe someone can help me sing it. (^_^)

And, to make matter worse, Brad have been very close to his ex-wife, Jennifer Aniston and in one of the report, Brads' mum and family never likes Angelina. They prefer Aniston better. Ouch. It hurts so bad when the whole family goes against you. 

Anyway, I don't know how true the reports are as I am not yet a qualified paparazzi. Hah. As if I want to be one anyway. So here are pictures for you to look at. 

 Angie and Pitt..they look happy though. But being a celebrity I guess they need to learn how to fake happiness.

 

Pitt and Aniston when they were married. 

Pitt cheated on her while they were still married and I wonder if Jen would still accept him back

 

Who do you like better? Who fit Pitt better? I would say Jen. They look so emotionally relax together..*through photos that is*

So come on, what do you think of this news. Share with me. Till then. Good night. I'm having sore throat and runny nose and headache and god knows what else. Uhhh...

Wedding Reception Songs

---

Coming up with a list of wedding reception songs is something that you may want to do. During the reception, music is played the entire time and it helps to set the mood for your event. You don't have to choose every single song that is played during your reception (it would be very time consuming to come up with 4 or 5 hours of music).
But you should develop a list of songs to be played during specific parts of the evening.

---

You'll want to pick wedding reception music for:

• The introduction of the bridal party. This music should be upbeat and festive since you are getting the celebration started.


• The first dance. Most couples go with something slow and romantic perhaps "At Last" by Etta James). But if you have a song that is of some significance to both of you, then you should play that song even if it's fast.


• Mother & Son and Father & Daughter dances.
  


• Bouquet and garter toss.
  


• Dinner. You don't have to choose all of the songs for this part of the evening but you may want a list of 2 or 3 favorite songs to be played sometime during dinner. Remember to keep the songs playing at a low decibel so that guests can talk with one another without straining their voices.
  


• Dancing. You can specify the type of music that you want played (country, rock, disco, R & B, Hip Hop). You can also choose specific songs like the Electric slide or the Chicken dance to get everyone out of their seats.

You also need to think about who will play the wedding reception songs.

• A band. Live music is great and adds the feel of being at a dance or concert.


• DJ. Less expensive than a live band but should have a large collection of music to play. You can provide your play list and the DJ should accommodate.
  
• AV Equipment. If you are working with a really tight budget you could put together CD's of music yourself and play them through a stereo system.
  


• Other Entertainment. You might also want to add professional dancers to your event or maybe do some karaoke to liven up the party.

Spring Wedding Ideas

Spring is a time of rebirth and renewal – a perfect time for the new adventure that a marriage brings. Yet in the race for most popular time of year to get married, spring is a distant third place behind summer and autumn. This is good news if you're planning a spring wedding, as more top-notch vendors will be available, and you may be able to get discounted rates, especially on sites and travel.

If you're considering a spring wedding, start off by thinking about your favorite parts of the season. Is it crocuses poking up through snow? Perhaps you'll want to have a wedding early in the season, and offer the respite of floral abundance and warmth when guests come in from the cold. If it's the emerging sunshine, choose bright colors and May weather. Here are some ideas to get you started on planning your spring wedding:

When to Have a Spring Wedding:

If you're getting married in a church, talk to them about their Easter decorations. You may be able to save money by using theirs. Vendors and sites may be more available in the spring than in the summer, but remember prom; you may need to book limousines and tuxedos extra early.

Spring Wedding Dresses:

Most wedding dresses seem made for a spring wedding. Wedding magazines are full of large skirts that may be too warm for the summer, and sleeveless tops that may be too cold for winter. Look for a versatile dress that can be paired with a wrap if you're chilly, yet is still light and airy.

Many more brides these days are opting for a hint of color in their wedding dresses – be it a baby blue sash, an allover hint of pink, or light colorful embroidery. These touches will look perfect at a spring wedding.

Attire for the Wedding Party:

When dressing for a spring wedding, keep in mind that the weather can be dodgy. You may have 70 degrees and sunshine, or you may end up with a damp, chilly day. Choose dresses with sleeves on them, give your bridesmaids wraps to wear as their bridesmaid gift, or go for a vintage look with cardigan sweaters.

Spring weddings are full of the classic (and sometimes dreaded) pastel bridesmaid dress. Make things easier on your bridesmaids by allowing them to choose the color or cut of their dress, and you'll hear far fewer complaints. Or go in a different direction with turquoise or lime green dresses, accompanied by pink bouquets. For a daytime wedding, men look dapper in tan suits, a colored shirts and coordinating ties.

Because of April showers, avoid putting your wedding party in satin shoes, and consider buying them matching large umbrellas, just in case. Don't worry if it rains; there's something so romantic about a bride and groom under a big black umbrella, shining and smiling in love.

Spring Wedding Menu Ideas:

Celebrate spring in your menu with fresh young vegetables such as baby carrots, baby asparagus (or regular asparagus), new potatoes, sugar snap peas, and haricots verts. Gently evoke Easter with a chocolate cake with coconut icing. You could also opt for carrot cake with a cream cheese icing. Strawberries, rhubarb, and apricots are delicious at this time of year, and mangos and pomegranates may work as well. Try phyllo dough cups with mousse or custard topped with strawberries.

Decorations:

The preppy pink and green color combination couldn't be more spring-like, and is perfect for a beautiful, fresh spring wedding. Accent your tables with polka-dot or gingham fabrics and ribbons, and use alternating pink and green chair colors. For a more elegant look, combine celadon green with white, using silver as an accent color. If you're having an outdoor wedding and a fair amount of children, a may pole does double duty as entertainment and elegant decoration. Instead of rice, consider asking your guests to throw rose petals, or release butterflies.

Spring Wedding Flowers:

Flowers in season include roses, tulips, hyacinth, lilies and Gerber daisies. Multi-colored calla lilies are very popular and look beautiful in a spring arrangement. Combine a dozen with lemon leaf or maiden hair, or create a simple hand tied nosegay.

For centerpieces, subtly evoke the Easter season by using white baskets filled with oasis floral form and an abundance of spring flowers. An inexpensive centerpiece for a garden wedding is a terracotta pot with a spring-moss or ivy covered Styrofoam ball affixed to it. Add small candles around it and/or some rose petals.

Consider tying your bouquet with polka-dot or striped ribbon in a bright or pastel color, adding a bit of unexpected pattern and freshness.

Spring Wedding Favors:

Give favors of seed packets or bulbs, with thanks for supporting the growth of your love. Consider giving birdhouses – you can usually find these inexpensively at a dollar store or craft store. Around Easter, send your guests home with a chocolate Easter bunny, a ceramic Easter egg, or a birds nests (either from the craft store or made from chocolate and/or coconut) filled with robin's egg candies.

Ken Hirai Boku wa Kimi ni Koi wo suru

This song is introduced by a plurkpal.

I find the music beautifully arranged with simple piano playing accompanied by melodious string instruments lending the song a haunting sense.

The song, however is compounding my emotional state.

Bridal Faires and "Bridezillas"

A big THANK YOU to all the beautiful brides who stopped by our booth at the American Heart Association Bridal Fair this weekend! Thanks to each of you, it was a successful event, and we look forward to working with many of you. It was my pleasure meeting each and every one of you. Your stories were each unique and inspiring. My sincere congratulations to each and every one of you as well as my wishes to you for a lifetime of beautiful memories.

We will honor the 10% discount for all Bridal Faire participants
booking through the end of January.

As a wedding planner, the most-asked question I receive is how many Bridezillas have I worked with. Fortunately, so far, I can answer...none! With proper, organized planing that includes NO procrastination on the brides part, and someone to handle all the last minute, stressful details (ah, that would be me), there should be little or no reason at all why all brides should be anything other than completely charming on their wedding day!

Give me a call anytime to schedule your anti-Bridezilla consultation:)

Kooky Pics #106 The actual

she needs someone

She tells you what you want to hear,
She always gives you what you want.
But when it really matters,
Do you give her, her heart's desire?

She's numb from all that she's feeling,
She's lost from all that she's thinking.
But the most important thing is,
Do you see her drowning?

She's changed her line of thoughts,
She's lost who she once was.
But what can you do to remedy it,
Do you even understand what's going on at all?

She's been there all those times,
She's given all she can.
But when she needs you to,
Do you give her back what she's lost?

She's not the world's perfect person,
She knows she has endless flaws.
But when it all comes surfacing out,
Do you smite her down or will you stand by her?

Reno's AHA Bridal Faire-Visit Me At Booth # 804

The American Heart Association's Reno Bridal Faire is this Sunday, January 24th at the Grand Sierra Resort.
I welcome your visit to my Booth #804, where you can receive huge discounts on all my wedding packages! Drop by and say Hi!

* * *

Yes, now is the time to get a jump on your wedding plans. Most wedding professionals say a year is not too long a time period for planning a wedding. Today, more and more brides work full time and just can’t devote that much time to their Big Day.

By attending the American Heart Association’s Bridal Faire, you’ll be able to spend your time wisely. In just one day - and in one place - you’ll have an opportunity to visit with more than 150 wedding professionals to help plan your wedding while saving time and money in the long run.

Bridal fairs aren’t just about checking out the bridal fashions, sampling cakes, and winning door prizes. Go there with the idea to hire your wedding vendors at the show. Here’s why: most wedding services offer budget-saving discounts if you decide to book them right then and there. Bring your checkbook or credit card, an envelope for your receipts, and your fiancé, mom, and others to help you make decisions. If they cannot attend, bring along a cell phone so that you can call them from the show and help you decide.

Don’t want to make quick decisions at the fair? Then bring something to take notes. Don’t be caught without any way to write down quotes from a potential ceremony site, florist, or musician.

Also prepare a sheet of address labels, and write your email address and phone number onto those labels before you attend the fair. At each booth, you may find a drawing for a prize like a free honeymoon, free flowers, dinner for two at a restaurant, or a substantial discount off of particular services. Instead of wasting your time filling out forms for each drawing, just affix the address stickers to each entry form you encounter and move along to the next booth.

Follow up with those you meet after the bridal fair while their wedding services are still fresh in your mind. The more generous wedding vendors may extend their bridal fair discounts a few days beyond the fair, especially if you hit it off well with them. But if you wait weeks or months, not only will you be paying full price, you may also find that they are no longer available on your wedding date.

Ready to Fly - Amy Pearson

READY TO FLY - AMY PEARSON
Verse 1

I open my eyes the world seems a different place,
The colours are brighter and the air is sweet to taste.
see it's like I woke up from a nightmare that tied me down,
I was smothered and trapped inside a sleep way underground

Pre 1
Its time I learned to fall,
To say the word goodbye.
To feel the sunlight on my face,
Maybe that means...

Chorus
I'm ready to fly,
I wanna breathe in and breathe out and be who I am,
Let go of fear wanna feel alive.
I'm ready to fly,
The more that you hold me back you set me free,
You help my heart decide..
Maybe I'm, maybe I'm ready to fly.

Verse 2
Where is your faith, where is your love for me?
Why do you fight the things I imagine in my dreams?
See the poison is strong, an addiction is tough to break.
But love is the hardest thing I have ever had to shake.

Pre 2
Its time to break these chains,
To look you in the eye,
To tell you that its over now,
So Maybe that means...

Chorus
I'm ready to fly,
I wanna breathe in and breathe out and be who I am,
Find More lyrics at www.sweetslyrics.com
Let go of fear wanna feel alive.
I'm ready to fly,
The more that you hold me back you set me free,
You help my heart decide..
Oh Maybe I'm, maybe I'm ready to fly.

Bridge
(Give me the strength to walk away)
(Give me the strength to stay the road ahead)
Even if it's a lonely place.
(Give me the hope to mend this heart)
(Give me the chance to see love smile, smile again)
To see love smile..

Pre 1
Its time I learned to fall,
To say the word goodbye.
To feel the sunlight on my face,
Maybe that means...Oh maybe that means

Chorus
I'm ready to fly,
I wanna breathe in and breathe out and be who I am,
Let go of fear wanna feel alive.
I'm ready to fly,
The more that you hold me back you set me free,
You help my heart decide..
Oh maybe I'm, maybe I'm ready, oh maybe im ready, to fly.

Confession of a broken heart

Have you ever felt like the world is against you at times? Like there is no one to turn to when you feel so small, so sad and so fragile??

Have you ever wish for someone to cling on to, someone who can make you feel emotionally stable and strong, someone who knows how to bring out the very best in you??

Have you ever, at times felt like a little girl who desperately need a helping hand from someone you trust and love, and wish they would say the things that you wanted to hear?

Have you ever wonder when will you find that someone who understands you so well that they know how to calm you down when you're feeling all hurt inside??

 

Have you ever felt so alone when you have desired dreams to grab on to, but no one is supporting you?

Do you ever wish to completely disappear and begin a new life, a new you, a better you? 

Do you ever wish people can understand and say things the exact way you understands them?

Oh well, this is life I suppose, nothing is exactly according to your dreams and wishes, right? 

Good night everyone.

Ciri-ciri isteri solehah yang perlu dimiliki

Tadi sambil makan I tengok Wanita Hari Ini *WHI* on tv3. Topiknya agak interesting. Its about Isteri Lunch Hour. Apa itu Isteri Lunch Hour? Adakah ia berkenaan topik apa si isteri masak untuk suami masa lunch? Hohoho, tidak. 

Its about isteri yang menjalinkan hubungan dengan lelaki lain, where in most cases hubungan tersebut usually akan terjalin dengan office mates. Are you one of them? Oh, I hope not. 

Ada la tadi a few callers, mostly ladies to either admit that they are having an affair, ataupun untuk share stories on people they know. So I'll start with one by one okay. 

I think this is a very serious topic. Sebab sekarang dalam news banyak sungguh topik-topik curang dan jahat ini, dan each one of us is responsible to make sure that it does not happen to us.

Scenario One:

One of the caller cakap she is having an affair with her office mate. Selalu tumpang pergi office sebab dia tak ada kereta. Keadaan bertambah happening bila si suami kurang berkomunikasi dengan si isteri ni. Bila tanya 'abang pergi mana? Lewatnya pulang'...si suami akan melenting suruh si isteri jangan tanya banyak. Lalu, si isteri pun kecewa dengan sikap suami yang langsung tak mahu share dan sokmo bersikap dingin. Jadi, tercetuslah insiden di mana isteri tawar hati tak mahu tanya dah suami ni sebab nanti kalau tanya pun asyik kene marah. 

Bila isteri ini asyik tumpang member office dia almost setiap hari, maka terhasil lah perasaan rindu sayang. Memang isteri ini admit yang apa dia buat itu tak betul, tapi dia still menyalahkan suami dia yang sebab suami ini la dia ter-curang. 

Scenario Two:

In one of the other confession, ada juga perempuan ni cakap yang suami dia selalu outstation lama-lama, dan dia asyik kena tinggal sorang-sorang. And, terjadilah insiden di mana dia akan mengadu pada kawan lelaki, betapa sunyinya dia asyik duduk rumah sorang-sorang. Not only did the guy offered to be her listener, tapi secara tak langsung offered to be her new soulmate.

Scenario Three: 

Ada seorang jiran di kawasan perumahan call untuk share perangai neighbour dia. Bukan untuk mengaibkan tetapi untuk bertanya pendapat. Yang ini paling semua orang terkejut la. Sebab katanya si isteri ini housewife, tapi berbeza dengan scenario one and two, scenario three ini bagitahu yang akan ada lelaki datang rumah jiran dia ni masa lunch hour. Ha, ini memang betul isteri lunch hour. Ber-lunch bersama lelaki lain semasa suami keluar bekerja. Bila caller ini bagi tahu si suami kepada isteri lunch hour tersebut, suami dia marah-marah caller ini. Dia cakap 'selagi aku tak nampak dengan mata kepala aku sendiri, aku tak akan percaya isteri aku curang!' Ha, amek kau. 

One of the panel of the day was Professor Izi, the motivator yang sungguh sinonim dengan ayat 'selamat mencuba & selamat beramal...' ke ape entah. One of his pendapat adalah dalam hubungan, both suami isteri must be responsible of what is happening around them. And, he keeps on stressing that kita kena berbalik kepada agama. Apa-apa pun agama. 

Dia cakap dalam hubungan perlu ada komunikasi, perlu share dengan pasangan. Bila kita berkongsi, pasangan akan rasa tidak kesunyian. Selalunya yang rasa kesunyian dan kurang kasih sayang ni pihak perempuan la kan. Sebabnya perempuan ni dianugerahkan 9 nafsu 1 akal tetapi lelaki memilik 9 akal 1 nafsu. Betul tak? Kalau tak betul sila perbetulkan eh. Sebab itu perempuan ni sensitif, emosi, penyayang, boleh jadi ibu yang baik, seorang pendengar yang baik sebab kaum perempuan ini mampu mendengar dengan menggunakan kata hati mereka, its called the 6th sense babey. 

The thing is, in my opinion, lelaki kurang mempamerkan kasih sayang mereka. Tapi dulu masa nak tackle jadi girlfriend or isteri dulu punya la jiwang, romantik bukan main. Pandai pulak. Tapi bila dah jadi girlfriend atau isteri, lelaki rasa diorang ni dah tak perlu nak bersayang-sayang lagi sebab kononnya perempuan tu dah jadi milik diorang. 

Wahai kaum lelaki, andaian kamu itu adalah salah sama sekali. Perempuan perlukan perhatian, dia perlu rasa dihargai. Dia perlu rasa yang boyfriend, tunang atau suami dia suka share, consult or tanya pendapat dia about anything. Bila selalu communicate dengan pasangan, kita akan lebih kenal one another, what is lacking, apa yang perlu improve, apa yang pasangan kita nak, apa yang dia tak suka and the list goes on.

I often feel that communication is the 2nd most important ingredient in a relationship after religion. A healthy relationship contributes to a happy and confident individual. All these penghargaan from the partner akan buat you rasa tenang, rasa there is something to look forward to, rasa you have to work harder in what you are doing sebab you are emotionally supported. And I greatly believe that stable emotions can create an outstanding individual, be it in work, or as a person. 

I rasa dalam hal curang-mencurang ini, both parties are responsible. Lelaki perlu lebih peka dan bertanggungjawab dalam hubungan. Perempuan pula perlu bersikap lebih rasional dan tidak terlalu emotional. Kadang-kadang perempuan ni curang sebab nak balas dendam kat lelaki dia. Konon nak tunjuk la yang dia masih laku di pasaran. Tapi, seperti kata Professor Izi tadi, berbalik lah kepada agama. Kalau situasi ini terjadi, berbanyakkan ibadat. Isitighfar is the most easiest. 

Mintak doa dan petunjuk dari Allah. My friend often said to me that Allah tak akan uji hambanya dengan dugaan yang hambanya tak mampu untuk handle. Betul tu. Walaupun kadang-kadang kita mempersoalkan kenapa kita yang dapat dugaan ni, kenapa orang lain happy aje, tak ada masalah. Eh, mana tau. Entah-entah diaorang pun ada masalah cuma diaorang sembunyikan. 

Jadi, the best thing that we can do as a muslim ialah berdoa dan yakin bahawa Allah nak uji keimanan kita. Berdoa dan bertaubat dan mintak jalan keluar dari segala kekusutan yang kita hadapi. Honda punya tagline kan 'The Power of Dreams'...sebenarnya I rasa doa pun perlu ada tagline which is 

'The power of doa'.

Seriously. Believe in whatever you ask for from Him, because one day, He might grant you your wishes. But if He doesn't, the thing you ask and wish for may not be what you really need. Remember, He knows the BEST for you.

Architecture is Tiring

Have you ever felt so sooo tired and you wish to have longer rest? 

 Well, you know what. Most of the time longer rest does not apply to architecture students. I had a presentation this morning. It's supposed to start off at 9 am sharp, but we came in 2o minutes later. Not because we wanted to be late, but because we had to. Well, 'had to' can't be used too sebab suka buat kerja last minute (^_^)

Being in architecture means that you have to be physically and mentally fit. Seriously, no kidding. Why? Because usually, most architecture students would have to work extra hour. When other students sleeps at 11 and watch movies in the computer, we on the other hand can only sleep at 6 am in the morning and wake up again at 10 am on the same day. How tiring does it sound? 

Very tiring

So, imagine having your sleep for less than 5 hour per day, continuously for a week. Even cars can break down from a non-stop travel, what more a body. 

Bila badan mula letih, presentation pun akan jadi meletihkan juga especially bila kena hentam teruk-teruk dengan panel. In this case, you have to be mentally fit. Tapi kadang-kadang ada juga yang kurang semangat akan menangis menyalahkan nasib sendiri. Hohoho..I've seen a few so far.

Letih okay. You work your butt out, tapi in the end your panel says its rubbish, or some even say things like "I think you should fail". 

Oh god, its painfully annoying. 

When I hear harsh comments from the panels, I kind of wonder how they were like when they were young. I mean come on, were they so good during their studies that they can actually allow themselves to harshly comments on other people's work? 

I hope if I ever become a panel one day I can be the one who is able to motivate others. Not everyone who takes up architecture are gifted in drawing skills. Some forced every ideas out of their brain, trying so badly to keep up with the gifted ones. And my oh my, sungguh sakit hati apabila kerja kita tidak dihargai. 

So, I feel that instead of torturing the not-so-gifted-ones, why can't they say something better, something motivated to keep the weak ones 'alive'. At least it can make them to work harder and to better understand their flaws.

I'm still feeling tired over the sleepless nights I had, so I'm going to go back to bed now and I'll see you soon..
