The Blind Side

My every afternoon must-do-thing, to watch a movie.

Today’s pick is The Blind Side. Have always wanted to watch it ever since the trailer is shown online. Sandra Bullock was the reason why it’s on my must-watch-list.But then, it was more than just Sandra Bullock. She carried out the character well, and so did everyone else in the film.

The Blind Side, an awe-inspiring film of the year. It’s based on a true story features about Micheal Oher, the offensive lineman who play football for Baltimore Ravens of National Football League. This is how the plot goes: Young Big Mike was sorta homeless and by chance he got into a Christian school. Leigh Anne Tuohy, a white female with a great heart takes him in as a son. She helps him out in almost everything. She gives him a home he never had, proper education, warm clothing and food. Big Mike was being questioned when Leigh Anne told her friends about this color boy. However, Leigh Anne believes Big Mike and Big Mike believes in her. He told Leigh Anne he will always watch her back and protect the family…

Yada yada I am not good in story telling. Of course some unfortunate events happened in between. Watch it yourself. Note that it’s not entirely about football, it’s all about family and love. Family does not restricted by blood relations or color or religion.

The film makes me think. I am sure it will make whoever watches it put themselves into deep thoughts too. When you see things that you don’t usually see, and how lucky you are to be where you at, you should feel fortunate that you are not one of those ill-fated people. Once in a while, we should look at the blind side, which are things that we barely can see. Look into it, you might see things in a whole new perspective.

22

me thinks:

21 was freedom, 22 means nothing. Nothing because I am now not a student anymore, I have to earn my own cash and craft my dream. It’s time.

happy birthday to myself.

=)

Grey January

The month started greatly until a beloved lecturer of mine passed away in a road accident on the night of 24th. Aizati Aziz, the coolest lecturer and friend anyone can ever have. I could hardly believe it when I received a text from Mr.D about her death. I was thinking about her before I received the news. I was thinking about how to tell her if I get a decent job later. I want to give her a good treat. But nobody expects such a lovely person to leave us out of the blue without any alarm. We have lost a great person. I wanted to pay my last respect to her yet I was unable to rush to KL as the funeral was held right on the next morning. I really regret for not being able to see her for one last time.

They say God loves her so much that she had to be taken away back to His side. It was said that she was on her way from Alor Setar to Thailand for a convoy with a bunch of bikers. Things just went wrong in the split second.

I used to hate her for pushing me so hard on assignments. I couldn’t take that hatred back. One thing for sure is that I respect and admire her more than I hate her. The hatred wasn’t for any personal reason, it was merely a temporary resentment of a student towards a very committed lecturer. She was always so generous, never once selfish on sharing whatever she knew. Like no other lecturers, she was like one of us. Giggled like a kiddo, mimicked silly acts of cartoon character in front of us and talked in such a sarcastically meanie way like bunch of young brats. Always so bubbly and cheerful, loved and caring. For my final project, Ms. Aizati was my supervisor. She was so worried about my performance as I was kinda stucked in between didn’t know my own whereabouts for the mograph. Her patience has guided me through the most difficult situation. She told me I can be more than what I am now. I really appreciate for what she has done for me. When we had problems with the exhibition, she was also the first lecturer to stand out and helped us to solve problems. Profunsional 2009 wouldn’t be a success without her assistance.

For everything you have done, have taught and have shared with us, I thank you Ms. Aizati.

I miss you.

May you rest in peace and God bless Luqman and your lil’ daughter.

thank you 2009! coming up, 2010!

Lets say goodbye to 2009 and give a warmth welcome to 2010!

It has been a great year despite of little bad things that happened in between. And I don’t remember what sort of bad things because I remember most of the happy stuff and not-so-happy-yet-acceptable stuff (still it’s better than bad happenings).

I wish for the best for everyone in this coming brand new year. Keep my fingers cross hopefully I can dig some nice jobs. I am now officially jobless since 19th of December. If only some handsome rich dude want to marry me, I don’t mind being a home maker. Who doesn’t wanna an easy and comfortable life? BUT scratch it! I don’t really fancy that, I wanna make something big!

For now, at this very moment , I just wanna chill abit at home first. THEN!

I can’t wait for shopping for CNY!

I can’t wait for CNY gathering with JSPO.

I can’t wait to work on something big when I enter some company!(yeah you probably would say ‘dream on girl…’)

I can’t wait for DD’s return at the end of May.

I can’t wait for our 3rd anniversary.

I can’t wait for SH tour.

I can’t wait for the KK tour.

I can’t wait to travel Europe again.

2010 will be a great year and I definitely will make it a great year. Cheers! ♥ HAPPY NEW YEAR!♥

Within the enjoyment of graduating II

Snapped this picture last Monday when I was waiting for sis in the car.  It is taken in front of the bus stop located right in front of Maybank head-quarter in Cyber Jaya. Didn’t know there is a plane in the sky with its trail until I uploaded to my iMac. When you expect the least, there is always something to surprise you. Anyway, the reason why I took this photo is because I love how they trimmed the leaves of the plants into a hemisphere shape. These cute plants sure have some power on me. It cures my blues whenever I see them standing in a row by the roadside.

In another few more days, I am graduating. Time really waits for nobody.

Had some great times with my batch of FCM graduates. Never take an effort to snap more photos of all of us in these 4 years, now I feel kinda empty whenever I wanna look back at those days that have long gone.

We’re now in the midst of preparing our grad show. It was a mess. Then, they agreed to sponsor most of the stuff. Now, they say that can’t get us money for certain stuff. Black Hawk really makes me speechless, most of the time.

Within the enjoyment of graduating

Haven’t been anywhere lately, as in malls or outing with friends. Whenever someone ask me to go out, I just turn down. No reason, I just don’t feel like going out. Sometimes, I really enjoy spending time alone. I tidied up my closet. I helped DD with his work. I watched many shows. I cooked my favourite spicy brinjal. I did the t-shirt design my sis asked me to do. I did my laundry. I browse through the online blogshops every single day. I enjoy spending time alone, with just my stuff, whatever I wanna do, without having to consider about assignments or people (housemates go out almost every day!).

Was pretty upset with certain things few days ago, it’s mostly about the ‘black hawk’! I picked up a marking sheet in the lab which I think I shouldn’t be seeing. It totally killed my day although it’s just a freaking paper. Anyone would have throw the paper away yet I still have it in my diary. It shall be a reminder to myself, to strive harder. Nonetheless, my lovely mr.D just informed me a good news. via sms I double confirmed with him and he assured me that he didn’t mistaken it for another person or anything. Still have some doubts with it, but it sure made the gloomy clouds above my head go away. Another thing was about the grad show of my faculty. Things didn’t happen as promise. I wonder why is that so hard for such a big organization to held such a small event for us. Anyway, it’s settled and I’ve nothing much to say because I did not expect anything good out of it and yeah that’s basically about it. The grad show is still on (21st-22nd Dec), a day after my convo. By all means, I hafta stay back for another 3 days and missing the Dong Zhi for sure. IF ONLY everything was dealt as our well plan.

Talking about being graduated soon, people starting to ask the same old question. ‘So, what are you going to do later?’ Can someone ask something else?

Freed yet not II

Was informed this afternoon that BACM and BAA will have to go to campus on coming Monday for the grad show thing which had taken over by the school management. However, it is said that there are minor stuff that students have to deal with. I can’t complain much because I am kinda out of the list to be in charge of anything lol.

On the mean time, I am pretty much stucked in Cyber Jaya. Wanted to go somewhere but anywhere I go I need pay for it i.e transportation and food. Nothing is cheap nowadays. It’s affordable but not cheap.

Anyway, there are stuff that I need to do.

1. big bro’s logo design

2. sis’s kolej t-shirt design

3. redo my showreel? ( is that even possible @.@!)

4. redesign namecard

5. arrange my 4 years work and print it out like a book

6. lose weight! I wanna look nice during convo(ahh i have been saying this for ages even since I got back from the London the Land of Evil @.@)

7. of course make sure i can find a job T_____T

8. learn to make tiramisu and cook curry for DD!

Actually there are so many things to learn and to do!

Unfortunately, I am currently addicted to K-drama.

‘When It’s At Night‘ is such an addictive drama to watch. I’ve been watching it over and over again, E-V-E-R-Y-D-A-Y. Honestly said, there are no hot babe or muscle man in the drama. There is something about the leading actor and actress. Lee Dong Gun(starred as Kim Bum Sang) is so charming, Kim Sun-ah(starred as Heo Cho Hee) is so attractive even she does not have a hot sexy figure. The story is basically about them protecting/ searching for archaeological treasures that are classified as nation cultural properties or retrieve the stolen ones from tomb robbers. And of course there are romance conflicts in between added with black humour.  The drama is so entertaining and heart-breaking at certain level. Totally in love with Lee Dong Gun ! Well, Chuck Bass is still in my heart too. LOL!

I fell in love :] again

Freed yet not

Just had my final project presentation on Monday and it feels great to not be worried about the final everyday and no more sleepless nights. It wasn’t that bad as I expected. At least no lecturers had squeezed eyebrows or frown expressions during or after they watch my mograph. They said they enjoy it. Good thing I suppose? I sincerely hope so. BUT I do feel that I still got a lot more to learn and catch up, what I have now isn’t enough for me to survive in the industry. I went to attend Animation class final presentation despite of the fact that I still have that bloody entrepreneurship report to complete by coming Tuesday. I enjoyed their presentation much more compared to my class presentation. I guess it’s because they all doing 3D animation and it’s very entertaining. Few lecturers used to tell me that I should have joined Animation class instead of Multimedia design because they like my animation work which I have done for previous semesters animation and 3D subjects. I wouldn’t deny I have some love for animation but I doubt I can cope with it? But a coursemate of mine proves me wrong. She chose to do 3D animation and every lecturers were amazed by her splendid work and it was said that she’s up to par with those animation students. Felt defeated, seriously. It just doesn’t feel good at all.

anxious

I am feeling quite unsettled now BECAUSE my final presentation in on the coming Monday! I clearly know that I can finish everything on time but the anxiety is killing me softly. What if the lecturers do not like my end product? What if I screw up my own presentation? Screams! It’s been a long time that I have not got this kind of feeling. My heart is beating so fast that I can hear the thump-thump sound.

Or is it because I had a rather bad sleep? Roomie was doing her work until 7-8am and I could hardly sleep with the light on.

Well, good luck to everyone of my batch that will be graduating soon.

 

 

feel loved

I find that I feel so comfortable telling you what I think.

I really love it that I can talk to you like this.

I am so happy that I have found someone I am really really comfortable with when I think about it.

We were discussing about something, well more like DD telling me his thoughts about something. Right before he went out to school, he said that [refer to quote above]. I couldn’t find a perfect word to describe how I felt when I saw those lines popping out in our Skype chat box. Definitely not frightened by him. To be exact, I was rather flattered to hear that. When somebody tells you he/ she is happy and comfortable to pour the heart in front of you, that’s really something.

Hearts DD.
