ANYWAY! It's about time I put some effort into a blorg post. Many things have happened recently. Some good, and some awful. Last week was a whole whirlwind of different emotions and experiences. I really don't know how I survived it haha.

Lets start off with how I began the week. The SSSpool project began in Klang at Yvo's house on Monday. We had successfully transported all timber that we had collected ourselves to her place, and continued collecting and planning whart we would do on the installation days itself. So far, all we had was "something to climb and camwhore with". And for the whole week, that's whart we worked around. We didn't have a specific design but we improvised on the days we had to install the thing.

During this process, we encountered some problems. Transport being one of them, seeing as we have so many different types of timber, differing in length especially, but because we have parents of whom are willing to give us a helping hand, we solved the problem with a lorry and a very friendly uncle who was willing to sacrifice a few hours of his time to transport everything to PJ.

Other problems we encountered were very ... unexpected and also, in my opinion, immature. It was like we were back in high school and someone is inflicting some sort of irrelevant drama towards us. Instead of handling it like adults, it became juvenile and now, I think I may have lost a friend due to some unbelievably egocentric attitudes. I don't know. People make mistakes you know. You just have to be honest, apologize, forgive and forget. I want to leave it behind me because it really is a small matter that no one would dream of caring about but ... the other party doesn't feel the same. Oh well. Perhaps in the future, you will find this argument as a very stupid reason to keep us from being friends, because I find it stupid and very troublesome. MOVING ON THEN.

I suppose our rather odd looking spool that we have named, SSSpool/S to the power of 3/Syok Sendiri Spool was acceptable, structurally and aesthetically. I would've loved to have more frames and a giant golden one as the core attraction but seeing as we had no budget, we had to work with whart we had and whatever we could collect.

It looks fragile, but honestly, it's super strong and the stairs are like super sturdy. It's actually a super comfy sitting area hahaha! Especially when you sit on top! If I had it in my garden, I would sit and eat on the thinggy for hours!

See? Om nom nom eating mah kebab!

The stencils were a last minute decision but I think it gave the spool some character. (:

Reminding you to SMILE when you camwhore with the spool! (:

I decided to help my friend Keith out in a fashion event last week. I don't know why I was so willing to do it on my own but I don't regret it one bit. Haha. I drove all the way to Nilai from Klang (after doing work with the SSSpool group) and surprisingly did NOT get lost. Hahaha! Nilai is so far away omg. But at least now, I know how to drive there ... not that I have a reason to ever go there again anyway haha.

Anyway, yeah I took part in an event call the Eco Fashion Show 2011 in Inti International University as a runway model; and I had no experience whart so ever. Haha so since I had no experience, I drove to Nilai and night before to go for the Runway training - to practice actually walking in heels. I was surprisingly okay, but I have no stamina for heels man! I respect girls who wear them everyday! They must have leg muscles of steel! @@

The next day, we trained and practiced the choreography more, eventually got out thick "Black Swan" make up done, and then the event started! Hehe. It was fun. Honestly, such a fun and new experience. I'm glad I decided to go on my own.

The blonde man is Keith! Haha! He was so stressed. After everything was done, he cried from happiness/sadness, I oso dunno.

This collection was made by a designer/student named Stephy. Her theme was something related to foxes and furry animals, hence my furry paws. Haha.

Photobucket

My favourite collection! Made by a designer names Kimmy! Her theme was "Massacre". She had the most creative collection in my opinion, playing with tie dye, paint, textures of fabric and also a lot of layering! It was such a gorgeous and wearable collection!

To top this week all off, results are out and ... I'm not very happy with it.

Photobucket

I don't know, I expected more I guess. I seriously worked so damn hard last semester and yet, I didn't achieve my goal of getting 4 A's. Is it THAT difficult to do well in this course? How frustrating =.= And getting a B+ for STUDIO? AGAIN? WHYYY! I worked SO hard on Studio. I only got 1 B during the whole design development process and the rest of my Studio assignments were ALL A- and I STILL can't get at least an A-?! WHY! I WORKED SO HARD. I'm like 0.07 AWAY FROM 3.5. WTF. =.= Sigh. I'm so tired of this. Do I have to exhaust myself to the point of fainting every day to achieve the grades that I want? Sigh sigh sigh sigh sigh. sihdkahdkauewakbdsajfgbajfaskdhkahdakdhakdhkadh.

Upset.


Anyway, I'm gonna eat buttered corn and watch Toys Story now.
