@vertigo club, the garden mall.
2 different shirt, means 2 different day.

i always see people's clubbing photo are so nice,
so it was good to see i had one too.
ignore my facial expression.

let me summarize my life in short,
don't worry, i will continue to update my blog,
it's just that i am so lazy nowadays.

do wait for my updates,
it will come.

lighting don't strike the same place twice.

i came across this in tumblr just now and it was nice.
what she said about the generation,
sometimes we all wonder is the generation growing too fast?
i see younger generations dating
when i don't even know what love was.
just a thought.

back to where we belong.

stepping away from reality.

2012-01-06T01:00:00.003+08:00

in a catalog.

2011 has been amazing year,
before reaching for the sky in 2012,
why not sit back and think.
think back what an amazing year it had been.
i know i enjoyed it, the ups and the downs.

the new friends i met,
which i intend to keep forever.
times we spent together.

jobs i did!

family time!

birthdays i celebrated.

parties i had.

trips i went.

meeting my distant cousin, which is pretty cool.

got over you.

stepping away from reality.

2011-12-27T09:20:00.002+08:00

it's the time of the year again!

happy birthday to me!

though it has past 11 days already,

but i recently have the time and photos.

anyway, first i would have never guess that,

i got a surprise party! woohoo!

who knew so many turn up at my house without me knowing.

worse part was me with my "home attitude"

yup, my mum kept forcing me downstairs,

but i was screaming and not wanting to go down.

thanks my mum and sis for acting and organizing it.

thank you to everyone of my friends who took time out to come.

adam, yan, jiayeong, shel, dickson, nishie, liwei,

icelone, joshua, harmony, andrew, yansk, chunpao, jireh.

and definitely to my two best friend and organizer,

vivian and janice.

best surprise i could ever ask for.

the famous cake-on-face.

later, some of us went to mist.

the fun part was my birthday obviously.

what happens in the club, stays there.

maybe it's for the best.

stepping away from reality.

2011-12-14T22:24:00.007+08:00

okay, so i lied about being a model from the past post,
but still, it was awesome photos where qualifies me.
and to tell the truth, i like to be one someday.

seoul, korea.
that was where i went for my study trip,
the truth, we played more and enjoyed ourselves so much!
here are some nice shots of the trip.

i remembered what i wish,
let's hope it come true.

can we pretend that airplanes are like shooting stars.

stepping away from reality.

2011-12-14T21:25:00.005+08:00

2011-12-14T00:18:00.007+08:00

life of a male model
a frontal shot of me.

yup, i was hired as a model.
so, my agency flew me to seoul, korea for some shot.
it was low budget, but yup, it was so much fun.

basically the shoot was just to build my portfolio.

and yup, those were my colleague models.
it was fun! and i know one day i will be successful.
Ian Tan is the name to remember.

everybody knows going to genting means,
sitting at starbucks to chill.

stepping away from reality.

2011-11-14T17:35:00.002+08:00

not that we always do last minute work,

it's just the design always get rejected!

in another life.

stepping away from reality.

2011-11-11T20:52:00.002+08:00

first click and play the music.

second look at this photo.

feel the emotion rushing through your veins?

that's photo was taken in korea.

somewhere i would love to return.

someone asked me why do i miss it so bad?

i thought about it, i guess maybe..

maybe it's the stress-free feeling where we can just,

just throw everything away and nothing to worry about.

because i miss those feeling.

lost, but finding the light.

stepping away from reality.

2011-11-06T22:19:00.002+08:00

working sometimes can be enjoyable.

mitm fair oct 11

this is my second time working,

and i find it enjoyable,

maybe it's because i only work on fairs,

but no matter what,

we should enjoy what we are doing anytime.

dream big!

stepping away from reality.

2011-11-05T04:24:00.003+08:00

just finish a midnight show.

an awesome one.

you are the apple of my heart.

reminds me of my secondary.

i'll never forget. =)

those years.

stepping away from reality.

2011-10-23T02:31:00.003+08:00

presentation is a reason for us to take photo.

ask me how i did,

well, it's not so good,

but it's a learning process right?

it is actually inspired by lines.

internal spaces to external spaces.

oh well.

only parts of the photos.

do have a look in Facebook.

the thought of uploading photos up here bores me,

so do be patient with my post.

sometimes you just want someone to care for.

stepping away from reality.

2011-10-18T22:25:00.002+08:00

i make them good girls go bad.

2011-09-04T18:45:00.002+08:00

and the cake was delicious,
made by aunt beeling.

more post to come, i promise.

how many times will it take?

stepping away from reality.

2011-08-22T00:05:00.002+08:00

architecture is actually an interesting course.
the places it brings you too.

at least i get an image on how my future will be right?
designing a building,
keep track on its construction.

sometimes you wonder the future,
how will it turn out.
why not enjoy the present?
it's call present for a reason.
and i will make it one that's worth remembering.

it still hurts.

stepping away from reality.

2011-08-21T02:49:00.002+08:00

middle of the night but i'm gonna update!

snowflake ss15.
chilling with friends is always awesome.
talking about random stuff,
knowing there are people who are always there.

assignments are piling,
but i am not fully focus in it.
i really have to learn from some of my friend,
who always stay up for assignments.

when time passes,
the interest slowly fades,
but i don't want it to.

i hope that it will stay.

stepping away from reality.

2011-08-17T22:34:00.004+08:00

assignments are piling up.

i really need to focus!
focus on becoming an architect,
because that's what i want.

sometimes you just think what will
your life turn out in the future.
facing all these drawings everyday?

the truth is my mind been wondering around alot lately.
it happen before,
once in a while, it's nice to fantasize,
fantasize about what might never happen,
or what i hope for.

i read through a blog and talk to a friend
a few days back.
it's inspiring that they are willing to put effort into their goal.
i can tell you,
two of my these friends are deep.
i think it's so admirable.

will you wait for me now?

stepping away from reality.

2011-08-17T22:05:00.003+08:00

subang ss15 rojak and cendol.
i think this may be the best rojak i had ever eaten.

yan standing by the roadside eating,
so you should know how tasty it is.

reading through some stuff,
sometimes it just makes me think.
faith, it's why our life so full of colours!
every thing happens for a reason,
your meeting with everyone is so magical.
i mean, having the faith to have the bunch of friends now,
to meet new people.
it's just faith.
and i'm no going to neglect it anyway.
random thought.

faith let us meet.

matta fair 12/8 - 14/8
i am so proud of myself!
this is the first time i ever worked
and i manage to sell packages!

i skipped the first day,
started working on the second day,
it was rough and tiring,
but by the third day it all went well.

at first, was just thinking about the experience,
and the experience can never be replace.
i enjoyed it so much!

new friendship too.
jason, dominic, senghan, marie...
sometimes i think,
when will we meet again?
the next matta fair? ever?
at least getting to know new people,
talk to them,
at least... they stepped into our life for that 2 days.

look the stuff we do.

and introducing jason.
but you can call him andrew.
they look so alike!

would be cool if i meet someone
who look exactly like me.

you can't connect the dots looking forward,
you can only connect them looking backwards.
i saw this in someone's blog and it's meaningful.
it let me think, just sit down and think.
those memories,
the future.
how will my whole life be?

i'll be your fantasy.

"I don't think people ought to belong to anybody but themselves. That's why I don't want to belong to anybody, and why I don't want anybody to belong to me. I want love more than anything else in the world. But loving and belonging aren't the same thing. Maybe someday, when we're older and wiser, things will be different." quote street scene by elmer rice.

i came across this and felt something reading through it.
you feel the depth in it?
actually it was in a script that i went for audition,
for sunway university play.
long story, but to tell the truth,
i enjoyed it quite much.
result are not out yet.

sorry for the late update,
harddisk died on me
and no photos to post.
architecture sem 2 started for a week,
this semester is gonna be exciting, tiring and hopefully fun.
i can tell you, grouping was a mess.

and work load is piling up!

we live such fragile life.

stepping away from reality.

2011-08-01T20:02:00.002+08:00

so far, this is the best holiday i ever had.

rm50 for a beer tower,
cheap right?
it's in piccadilly, millennium square.
surrounding is not bad too.
at least it's so much more cheaper than pubs.

it's just fun.

i don't wanna be in love.

2011-07-21T02:47:00.002+08:00

it's the movie season.
so many new shows!
and i have watched most of them!

green lantern.
in the brightest day,
in the darkest night.

ryan reynolds and blake lively is hot and all,
but the movie was not that interesting.
just another super hero movie.
that's what i think.

kung fu panda.
inner peace.

a cute funny show to watch,
not amazing, but it's nice.
you know, just laughing without
having to think the storyline.

x men : first class

let me tell you,
i think this is the best x men show ever!
so cool! it's like omg!
i want super powers!!!

transformer 3 : dark of the moon

it's transformer, it can never go wrong!
for me, it's kind of predictable though.
and megan fox was not in the movie,
even though rosie huntington-whiteley was hot too.

just some thought for you guys
who want to watch movie this few days.

i don't know where i stand anymore.

class vacation '10
it's the journey, not the destination.

samantha ronson - built this way

did you ever feel like you wanna be
someone else for just one day,
did you ever feel like you wanna
see through another pair of lies,
did you ever think I'm a wannabe with
anyone else just one day,
did you ever you really think of me when i walked away?

you look, you don't sound apologetic,
you smoke your subjects at my eyes, like you think,
you know where you think you'll find,
you think you'll figure me out tonight,
but you'll never know what i won't share,
cause i don't care and i don't care,
you think you'll figure me out tonight,
but I don't care,

and i wonder, if i'm just built this way,
cause every man that I know,
makes me feel like i'm too plain'
when it's over and my selfish ways,
go back to start again, go back to start again.
http://www.lyricstime.com/samantha-ronson-built-this-way-lyrics.html

sometimes do you ever wonder why you are built this way?
it's not easy being accepted,
but somehow, you will find the answer to it.

it was always me.

5 days and it's finally over.
miss my hot water, and air-cond.

it was eye-opening to experience this event,
even though as an observer.
different people from different background.

no matter the results,
i think the installation was awesome.
it was amazing how the hex-plosion team works.

the performance by taylor is so creative,
and original!

love the magic performance,
the final rose. <3

it wasn't the best 5 days i had,
but it had it's moments.

maybe this whole workshop was not
as great as i expect it to be,
but it's the people you experience it with right?

i don't care what people say about taylor,
i know we are awesome just the way we are.

pao, jan, vivian, nishie, shing, andrew, edmund, icelone,

this story is dedicated to you.
maybe we are still searching for ourselves,
but somehow, we will see the light.

Matthew sat on the grass. He could not take the pressure anymore. He stared right out at the field. A small breeze blew and there were leafs drifting with the wind. It was peaceful, the whole scene was peaceful, a total opposite of what was in his mind.

He wanted to scream, wanted to run, wanted to let out everything in his mind, but he just sat there. He just sat on the grass staring straight out, listening to the breeze. His life was practically falling apart.

He felt his hands clenched together. He knew he needed it, but his will power was not giving up so easily. Matthew touched his pocket for the pack of cigarette he just bought. He needed to inhale in to escape from all of this. He remembered Valerie, his best friend. She was the one trusted in him, believed in him that he will change for the better by quitting smoking. Matthew wanted to quit too, but he was not strong enough. He could see disappointment in Valerie's eyes when he failed for the uncountable times and inhale into the cigarette.

He could feel his head was about to blow up because of this battle within himself. He took out a cigarette. This will be my last. He thought. He lit it up and inhaled in it. It had been 9 days since he last smoked. He felt his lungs heat up as the smoke went in and slowly, he exhaled out the smoke.

I will quit this addiction, eventually.

hope, don't we all are searching for it,
put faith in it and we will find it eventually.
redemption is what we all need,
but to be save, we need to save ourselves first.

my role? i'm still finding out where i should stand,
but i am willing to listen to you.
i am willing to be your friend.
whenever you need a friend to talk to,
i will be there, just so you know.

don't ever lose hope, you will see the light.

finally internet access!
right now, i'm in UTM (university technology malaysia)
participating in an architecture workshop : terang.

some architecture design are so freaking cool,
and this is only a small part of it.

other than that, it suck.
or maybe our approach is different. =(
whatever it is, i will try to enjoy it.
it's an opportunity right?

see how torturing we are sleeping there.

and the food, this is what i bought,
imagine what was free.

don't get me started on the room.

it's so tiring to constantly care about an individual,
you remember the time you are willing to do anything,
give the world to that individual,
knowing at the end,
you will get hurt?
but you still do it. <3

we may only have tonight.

2011-06-11T18:54:00.002+08:00

malaysian studies exam.

seen so many questions to answer before?
yup, 100 multiple choice answer.
finally done with it! thank god.

just a song i came across and <3 it.

when everything's made to be broken,
i just want you to know who i am.

you know this constant fear,
being abandon? being chose over?
aren't friends more important than love interest?
it's just not fair.

life's not fair.

do you know what it feels like,
loving someone that's in a rush to throw you away?

love do exist everywhere.

you may be hurt by it,
but you can't deny,
it is the most wonderful feeling in the world!

two is better than one?

if you ever love somebody put your hands up.

have you watch glee? i love this episode.
accepting yourself.

this episode is about accepting for who you are,
accepting your flaw.
accepting how you are born.
exercise: print out your flaw on a shirt and accept that.

for me, i'll go with sam.
TROUTY MOUTH.
i accept it cause i'm born this way!

do you just hate when drivers park inconsiderately
and make other cars having a hard time to exit
just because the other car do not want an accident?

Taylor should really improve on their parking problem.
and people should be more considerate.

we'll get there eventually.

life goes on,
as long as you enjoy the journey and live with no regrets,
i guess, that's perfect enough.
