leveling up and blowfishnessity
the submission of the first mdf assignment this sem has taken place. and what's wonderful is that i've been awakened by encouraging words from my group lecturer, dearest mr ramlan.
it seems like i have lost a lot of passion and perseverence that i had had in me from the time i first started.
actually it's not like i haven't noticed. it's more like i've been avoiding thinking about it. perhaps due to the fact that i've been occupied by meaningless things and of course, the fear of facing the truth. so as i've concentrated on this problem with me, i've decided not to take any step backward but accelerate full forward with all the energy that i have, InsyaAllah. i'll stop wasting my time with.. whatever i have been wasting my time on. it won't be easy, but i'm determined to pick myself up from the ground. now i'm wondering why i changed, i don't like the way i am now. =/
other than that, today had been interesting.
the day started off slightly bad, but towards the night evening things began to fall into place. woke up forgetting things to bring to class, unavailable preferred food court seats, and i apparently dropped my 2 audio cds somewhere which i had specifically burnt before class to listen during the journey to subang to pick up things. weather was super hot while driving, had to off the air cond when my foot's not on the oil (sensitive car), both of frame shops that i know of couldn't make the stretchers i wanted on the spot, super confusing new roundabouts and roads in subang caused me to go round and round just to reach a relatively near place, a sleazy guy was eyeing me without effort of covering up in the bus when i was on the way to matsuru's college which jia ling and li sien was demo-ing, my left sandal tore off.
watched jia ling and li sien who stylishly presented their illustrations, mainly of pencil portraits. very cool. learnt a lot of things, like about tortillions and asian/european features, etc. XD victor and deru was there too, folks i haven't seen a gazillion ages. went mamaking with matsu and the aforementioned two. jialing and li sien decided to catch a movie, i suppose i couldn't tag along cos i was supposedly having a movie plan at mines myself. also had a chat with matsu's students too.
after that decided to hang around matsu's place till showtime of movie was to be confirmed. watched cool episodes of garo, a sort of amusing eps of kamen rider and an 80's ultraman spoof by a gainax producer. movie plan was cancelled, which gave me more time to hang out. had an enjoyable talk with jien, who dropped by. told me horrific accidents stories of the roads to mmu, and life lessons on the sad prospect of an animator in malaysia. learnt quite a few things from this fellow mmu senior who graduated from FA in fcm.
messaged jared for a yumcha session, which i was terrible as to making him wait for more than half an hour at selva's due to unexpected long chat with jien. then another mamak session with matsu and jared. man i haven't seen him in ages, he seems more happy and energetic, more determined now with what he wants to achieve. dropped by his house and chatted with his family a bit, jin soon grew soo much taller, starting to look handsome d ^__^ still having the chills from the horrific accident stories, i decided not to drive back to campus too late.
i'm so happy that today i met so many people unexpectantly, somewhat spontaneously. it's amazing how catching up with people gives you fresh energy. just what i needed for the "accelerating forward" thing.
now i'm nervous about my presentation next week, i'm supposed to do a photoshop presentation in front of the college students who're older than me, and prolly knows much more about design than i do. so this weekend will be committed to storyboarding, production planning, filming, practising photoshop and concentrating on leveling up.
and ouch, ouch, ouch sakit perut due to little (not to mention bad)food consumed today and the coffee. hadn't had coffee in many months now, and due to extensive over coffee consumption history, my stomache had probably developed super sensitivity towards anything caffeine related things. now i feel like a blowfish.
alhamdulillah for the non accidental, non decapitating, non car break-downage, and whatever non negativity, not to mention the great ending to this day. ^^
