trip #2 USS

wanted to visit USS since long ago but always can't find sb to accompany me there, frens have all been there & mum has no intention of visiting (was quite furious when i found out that she went there w her nurses). furthermore, it's not cheap $$
anyway, told myself i must visit there b4 i left or i'll regret for certain in the future. enuf said, start finding ppl and managed to get sb =)

the best takeaway, was sponsored for the tickets, thankew so much

          

saw some angry birds merchandises at vivocity candy empire and i bought the gummies (>")>

visit to kl

so game project officially done, sort of. and not even a wk left till school reopen #(┬＿┬)# *emoing* ┐(─__─)┌ what can i do


decided to follow mum to kl, i can do some window shopping & meet up with sec school frens while she's attending her seminar held at sunway hotel. taxi arrived at 4.30am, so early that i had to wake up at 3+, shower and get ready. quite reluctant to get out of bed, which was unusual for me, was rushing my online course assignment till 1am+, barely reached 2 hrs of slp. it's a freezing journey, the air con temp can't be changed, had no idea, prob the car needs servicing. the uncle is talkative, straightforward & kinda funny in his way, calling my mum & her nurses 老妖怪, my sis 圆圆 (+美女after my sis insisted she's one), and me 小妖怪. buay tahan ╮(╯▽╰)╭

as predicted, reached early but luckily we get to check in, dun nid to wait till noon (￣︶￣)↗ went straight to our room, put down stuff, used the washroom, and poof, to the bed. sis & i had our lunch at manhattan, same price as spore, and i mean same, rm=dollars, with 1 or 2 ringgit plus minus. sis was so yeappy, she said must order the expensive ones, ha. 

okay, lazy to type. let the photos do their part


------------------------------------------------------>

2 chefs for the dinner

bought this, after a day of consideration & approval by mum & second by sis

btw, we came bk by bus, which took longer than usual. very very crossed & pissed off (#)'×'( )

2 meetups with childhoodies

arr

paranorman!!! yupee, my 3rd movie in spore. 1st was hp7 with jiaying & darryl, where i was so lucky to have darryl's mum to sponsor the ticket fee and even a aston dinner. 2nd was 那些年 with biyuan after drawing field trip at clarke quey. finally here's the 3rd one, 15/9, with my bff joyjoy. we met each other at this piano class at the age of 5, at victoria, i supposed? or is it 3, at vienna? haha, who cares, my point here is it's been a whole solid bloody hell many yrs, you can do the ratio thing if you want to but imma not doing it over here.

norman & family

norman & best fren neil

okay, this is me taking pic in the school toilet b4 rushing off

and, coincidently, just 2 days after the catch-up for movie, i managed to meet with pat, another childhood fren from the same piano class b4 she flied off to uk. still the same, esp after her haircut which gave her the same hairstyle when we first met. all the best, i'll definitely want to go there if i had the chance, and by then i'll surely visit you.

back to hut

here i am, back to my small space. u ask me w-h-y why. mum's at germany rite now, having her dental short course. papa's flying to sri lanka tmr, on a business trip. both will be back on sunday. had a nice swim this morning, just before the rain poured, when i'm in the shower =) asked about the mini game project and got the reply from faci jeremy. it's gonna be a 2-week project, so prob will only go back after that. original plan was to follow grandpa & papa back when they come back from e trip. will c how.

early celebration for my parents' 23rd wed anniversary (10/09) 

can't wait for it to end

1 paper left, hohoho. am reading the readings now, not now now obviously i'm blogging. high level rules, mid level rules, low level rules, finally i sorta understand now after reading pages of pdf

dun really have appetite for dinner, raining heavily and it's cold. do feel a lil hungry, can hear the grumbling of my stomach but just dunno what to have. maybe just feel lazy cooking (for this week i've been cooking for every single meal meaning lunch & dinner) + bored eating those same food. luckily mum & dad bought me an oven toaster the week before when they came & luckily i decided to bought broccoli & tomato this morning after i finished my paper & so just in luck i brought 2 slices of cheese from home that time when i went back. all these coincidence add up i not ending starving myself --> boiled broccoli & half of a  portobello mushroom (from last time), then sliced half of a tomato, topped them with 1 slice of cheese. my dinner! baked portomatocoli with cheese =)

it's so nice to see it in dark, waiting for it to be ready

okay, back to yesterday. i woke up early, dun feel like studying. finished off a book, a very good one indeed, borrowed from sis, 'steal like an artist' by austin kleon

after that i did some doodling, will post them up when i have time but it's really nth much, just random stuff that has no real meaning to others. did sudoku. like i'm having no exams -,- i just nid some personal time to getaway from all these stress. went swimming too around 10. after bathing & busy preparing lunch, my room mate asked to jaga her barang-barang. she's moving out (imma owning the whole room now, if not i've no idea how i gonna survive in such cold days with the air-con on). 

oh ya, i swept my room just now. it's so clean & shiny & smooth, u know it when u slide your feet across the floor

busy june

halfway watching finding nemo, not that i'm so free, it's a requirement for my art of story module UT1. i guess we would be tested based on the story analysis framework, which is about the main character, quest, obstacles etc. *sigh* when does watching video/movies has become a homework too. every week we've been given short film as homework, this week is a lil different, it's a picture

2 down, 3 more to go. for game design workshop, i kinda think too much, i should have just write it coz it was the same as faci's answer when sb asked him in class that day = ,= 

visual scripting was quite ok, except for the last question, dun really understand

hope that i can do well for the next 3: interaction design, analog game theory, art of story

seriously i have no idea how to study for these 3 modules, no clue at all!!!!

been splitting myself into many parts for 2 or 3 consecutive weeks ady. game design workshop UT2 project still have a long way to go, i wish that my team mate could work it out, if not, i d k what would happen. luckily analog game theory UT2 project is progressing, however the rules had to be simplified, to avoid confusion, ppl might not have the patience to listen & understand your rules and most will just walk off without starting to play the game. now we have to figure out how to hook ppl and sell them our ideas in seconds, or minutes (more realistic)

hercules

papa bought it for me when we went to ikea last week =)
was having tummy ache and hugging to it the whole afternoon while waiting for mum & sis to buy stuff there
i'm still thinking whether to buy it or not at the cashier but papa said just buy if i like, so nice, thankew

tmr is father's day but i could not go back =(

btw, i swam this morning, kinda love the weather, big sun but windy & partly cloudy

a good day to u =)

haha, always feel great after swimming, a sense of accomplishment. again i went swimming this morning, fine weather, swam 10 small laps (usually 8 laps)

actually quite sleepy b4 went down to swim, coz had an early night ytd & woke up at 1am to do my rj for analog game theory, slept only at 5am, then woke up again at 7am. however, all the sleepiness had gone after dashing into the pool. did some stretching after the swim. although it's hot, i enjoy the feel of a warm sun.

at the mention of analog game theory, had sth to say. time always passes super fast unknowingly when doing this module, such that when i gone hungry and checked the time, normally it's ady 12+, where other days my tummy started grumbling around 11am+, haha, like hungry ghost sia. oh, and recently a new faci mr. anthony

transferred here and took over my beloved faci shaun. what a pity, i want shaun back!!!

oh, we were playing settlers of catan after class ytd, as it is UT testable, nid to know how to play it. so skipped my comics ig, and that's part of the reason i slept early ytd, another reason is that the network wasn't working & i had no idea for the rj, some more it's open till this morning 10am. did paper prototype for a digital game wisps of twilight ytd. love our game & my team mates, we just click and i feel comfortable working with them.

wisps of twilight (original digital version)
din take photo for our paper prototype

last week we were doing ludo, add in 10-12 special tiles & modify some rules 

listening to all the chinese songs in my lappy. love them to the max : )

songs i enjoy

currently this is our class hot song
hahaha, although heard it long time ago, it stills entertain me
these few days 1 of my classmates keeps playing songs from Jay, my idol previously. my room mate too, playing his songs over her lappy, yup now is the once famous 龙卷风.

whisper of the heart

i so love my family today

finally i got back to the saturday morning swimming track after 2 wks of rest. 1 wk in bp and 1 wk knee pain.

hohoho. drawing drawing drawing. i d k how sketch should sketch be and it ended up being a quite formal drawing, just without using ruler. then the supposedly drawing drawing i have no energy to concentrate, tired ady. slept at 7.30pm when most of the people out there were still having their dinner. woke up at 9.30pm bcoz of the run-away-from-home-boy that din know i was sleeping and came in peeping. can't get to sleep again after that.

this morning was awaken by the door alarm, my family has arrived, 6.30am, and i was like SHIT, i thought they said 7am. i wasn't on a welcome mood due to lack of sleep.
i just searched on insomnia and here's it
