Phew...came back from m'sia yesterday night. Sian ah, every year have to go back there. Every year its the same thing, so nothing nuch to write about.
Took first class there, can you believe it...actually, I have pics of the first class lounge and everything...only too lazy to put up. Will find time after submission of final projects to put them up. Hm...but since it was m'sian airlines, I guess the service was...so-so...haha. Right, I got absolutely nothing to say. Quite normal, except that the seats were bigger.
Dots~ reached miri after...transit...or whatever you call it (from kuching). Then the officers asked my dad to tear open the huge-ass carton box we had...GOODNESS, even asked us to open the bag to check. Everyone else passed by like normal. Had to slit open the carton...then the woman prodded around inside the bag...Whatever. FYI, my frank opinions on this are censored from internet viewing. So too bad.
Yeah yeah, so as USUAL...the USUAL people came to pick us up. My uncle (mum's older bro) and grandma (though i never called her that ever). Yup, and so my uncle ignores me like he does every year. To me, he's just the driver that carries us to the kampong house. So we're square.
Sigh. As USUAL, my aunt's there to greet us...hmm...no one else I think. My guy cousin came back late cos he's working in uh...KL..? I forgot...gomen. Yeah, dinner is the same every year, I swear. Chicken (that looks half-cooked, really), abalone, vegetables...the usual. Not that im complaining...my aunt (mum's sis-in-law) put alot of effort into it, so yeah...not like i know how to cook anyways.
Cousin came back at 11pm+....goodness, he ditched his long hair (wth i really liked it!!) for a normal spikey hairstyle. Well, he looks better now...not so kampong-boy. Hm not bad...he really grew up to be kinda cool in the end.
Ah yesh the fireworks. Can you believe it...there are fireworks in the middle of the kampong (or village, I duno) at midnight..which is the start of cny. Sugoi...last time it used to be just firecrackers which pissed me GREATLY especially cos I usually go to bed early when im in that kampong house...*there's nth to do there..!!*
The noise of the firecrackers at that time was just...was just...u can just CRY, man. SO loud, it was heart-stopping...like world war...But this time there was fireworks, so not so bad...at least got something to see, not just stupid noise.
Only the *rich* people in the kampong can buy the fireworks, so yea...the rest of us just sit there n watch...heh. Gosh, really pretty fireworks...but I was too lazy to take pics. Yeah, come on lah imagine, *imagiiinnneee*....easy yeah?
Next day...*drum roll* CNY day.
PLUS.....THIS is the day that I prepared for the most. I brought 2 sketchbks (mine & ideation), stationary, book, manga, player, uh...jay chou vcd...Yup. Should more or less understand what I plan to do the whole day. Just stay in the room and slack off. Woke up at about 1pm+ cos the roosters were still screeching at that time. They are siao. Either they are as bored as I am or uh...they wanna crow one last time before their heads are cut off.
I think there were guests in the morning but yeah, not my business. Probably not anyone I know, so no ang paos. No ang pao, dun bother to get up for it :D
That night we went to this restaurant at a uh...golf course. It was a really nice place aahhh..!!! The restaurant was actually facing a lake...but at night u can't see much. My parents & I went there in the afternoon...cos stay in the house so sian. Yea. Saw the restaurant...then book a table for the night.
As USUAL, my dad paid for like...10 people. Ah yes, should describe my odd family members to you.
This m'sian people are all from my mum's side. There's grandma, who's actually kinda strong for an 80+ woman...gasp. Then my uncle & aunt...she's the one that cooks all day, so 95% of her life is spent in the kichen, really. She's damn hardworking. Respect, respect. Her husband is a forced retiree. His siblings forced him to retire. For whatever reason, I have no clue. Every time I see him, this...picture comes to mind. Gomen, but this is the easiest way to describe him....you know at uh...science centre or whatever place, there's always this pic of the process of humankind from when we were orang utans to hairless humans...? Yeah, he's the one smack in the middle.
Lemme see, there's my 2 cousins, both kids of previously mentioned aunt & uncle. The guy is the youngest kid & only son...waah he's like...my height (he said he's shorter though). He's 25. His older sis is married to this...quiet guy. Personally, his mum...I uh..suki ja arimasen. She's really weird, and comes off as rude and mean. I only know my cousin's husband by name...it's King. So easy to rmb. Not sure if it's his real name or anything...or his surname...
Ah yes they have an almost-3-yr-old kid. It's a boy it's a boy...!! Bleh. Have no idea whats his name. I can't remember relatives well as you can see. The last time I saw him, I thought he was a normal baby boy....NOW..he's like some kinda monster brat. Omigawsh and it's only a yr difference....he sits in his baby chair like some ah beng (nah not really i sit like that all the time), with one leg up. He chooses his food. Uh, like when his parents wanna feed him something he will say 'NO...I dun wanna eat this one' in chinese. Brat. Give him a few more years and his mum will grow wrinkles n his dad will become a drunkard.
Hm...I think the kid knows he will get whatever he wants, cos (for now) he's the only child. And secondly, the aunties n uncles just LURVE babies, and basically anything that is cute and cries and makes cute noises and says 'mama!! papa!!' and doesn't know a THING about what's going on.
Ah yes, I think I suffered the innocently-clueless syndrome some 10 years ago and was pinched by everyone until *GASP* nature comes in. And im 17. Which means im no longer important or interesting or cuddly. Haha yes I wanna remain invisible, thank you.
Anyways yeah, that was about it for my trip. Visited my cousin's house...blah blah. Hung around outside cos its boring inside blah blah. Can't draw or read cos the light SUX there. Watched jay chou vcd there...but there was only 3 mvs....couldn't watch the jay chou dvd cos...no dvd player.
Basically, it was the same as last year. And the year before that. And the year before that. Except for the fireworks. Yeah, the days really passed by like a breeze. I felt likeI left s'pore and came back on the same day. Alas, no homework was done. Nothing accomplished.
I hate final projects....they are more siao then last sem's. Ah, anyways. Gotta finish *something* soon. Something tells me im gonna get an F for photo. Anyhooo~ love ya, jay chou. hate ya, wee wee.
It's only the start of the new year, and here I am...*trying* to complete assignments with impossible deadlines. UM, like, this week.
List:
-2 stories for creative storytelling (90% done)
-sound problem for ideation (20% done)
-taj mahal logotype & menu for typography (1% done)
-proposal & 80 pics for digital photography (0% done)
Wow. Now that I mapped them out I feel soooo much better -_-;;
Working on ideation now. Should be able to finish the 2 bloody stories....since the deadline is on wed night...I'm most worried about typo. Everything (it seems) must be done on comp...*faint*. wtf...this logotype nonsense, it's just...i duno, to me it just kills the soul. Slowly.
Since everything is done on comp...it's just changing colours of pics, placing existing stuff together to form a new thing, editting them...wtf is the originality in that..??!! Phhff....plus, it's not like I know my photoshop very well.
Crap...slept for uh..about 5 hrs just now. Feeling a little sleepy. But NO. IIE...!! DAME..!! I WILL stay up to at least finalise these damn ideation fools..!!! I like my rock concert thingie the best..just cos theres this one rocker dude in it...he has cool hair :D But he can't be too illustrative...so basically...he has not..much....shape. Yuck. Hate abstract. Only because I can't seem to do it right. Why wanna draw sth that would confuse other people? Wacko.
Oh wow it's midnight and I haven't started a thing. I feel like a friggin PIG. Eat, sleep, snort, and watch anime all day. The advanced version of PIG...slowly, lazier, hungrier, no batteries included. Wadever im so off track. *runs to do hw*
