dudes

Assalamualaikum and hello people!

i've been hooked with some videos on YouTube for these past few days, when i actually should be doing my designs.. ergghh! the videos are addictive and the titles are ridiculous that they are so tempting :P i'm sure some of you out there are already subscribers to Ryan Higa, or Kevin Wu, or the Wong Fu (the one who made Strangers, Again short film i posted before!), but if you're not, check them out yeaaa! they'll seriously make your day! especially Ryan..? nope! scratch that! Kev's dad will make your day! this one made me laugh the hardest so far, now its your turn! laugh out loud y'all!

i was so addicted to Kevin and his dad that i look for all videos containing his dad. thinking bout his dad actually makes me smile, like what i'm doing now. haha and then.. i found a few videos where Kevin talked bout their adventures on Amazing Race and some footage from the show. and then i remembered! yess i watched that season of Amazing Race before! but how come i did not recognise them? but i do remember the father and son team in which the father is so funny and zealous while the son is so cute :P well, what i remember most is the dad was so old-looking that i was amazed that he could go on to all those crazy challenges. you know how Amazing Race goes about right? and it's not Amazing Race Asia, its the US version. you can be Papa Jumba's (that's what he calls himself) fan on Fcaebook too you know! just search for PapaJumba, i guess. hahaha i dont know why i'm advertising him so much :P

this next video is a music video made by Ryan, Kevin & Chester. by the way, i think Chester is an amazing singer :) and this song i think is fully sang by him. correct me if i'm wrong. any Chester's fan out there? there are actually two versions of the video. one made for Ryan, one for Kevin. i cant really decide which one i like better, coz i love them both (i mean those guys not the videos) in a different way. hihihihihihi how about you decide!

Ryan's version:


Kev's version:

Apiz mesti menyampah, 'another vlogger??' i think he menyampah with matluthfi90 already coz i always talk bout his videos. well i like them for a reason (or reasons? since there's a few of them). like, matluthfi's videos are always tucked with messages whether you realised it or not, and they're funny. it's like each of his video is an art masterpiece by itself. higa's videos are fun & light watching and the faces he made are hilarious rasa mok tampar. kev's videos feature his dad which is the absolute winner! hahaha and wong fu's videos are like alas perut if you're craving for good movies :)

another reason, watching them reminds me of Apiz sometimes. like watching Nice Guys' video. nice guys dont usually finish last, from my pov. nice guys are the one i look for first and want to end up with, like Apiz. Apiz doesnt exactly pull my chair (no need lah kot, if we're only dining at McDonald kan??), or give me his jacket when i'm cold (sikda nya nak cold gilak rah Malaysia tok) and he definitely tells me i look fat when i look fat. but he also drives me around eventhough sometimes he has extremely bad headache, or when he's so sleepy that he takes a nap between green lights, and he always picks up my calls even when he's in a meeting and all i wanted to know was how to make the print screen thingy works :P all i'm trying to say is, Apiz is my nice guy, my first guy actually, and yeah i would like to have him as my last guy :) :)

oh so random!

i've abandoned this place for a while, i know. and i feel bad for it. truth is, nowadays i cant seem to put my thoughts into words. i have the time, most of it i spend watching tv or stalking other blogs, but not nourishing and fluorishing my own. it feels like i am pweety lazy lately. i am lazy to read too many text, i am lazy to calculate simple maths, i even feel lazy to feel. and i am afraid that i'm losing myself. i can feel that i am not really the person who i was before, lately. takut, takuuut aiee :( it could be works that consume me bit by bit, or this place. this busy city which waits for no one. things seem to pass me by just like that (while i'm watching tv. heh). i hope i know enough the difference of losing passion and maturity, though.

but before i went out for class thismorning, i get to watch Barbie in 12 Dancing Princess on TV3! yeay! i wish i could watch it til the end, but i have to do my grown-up duty. but i probably will look for the DVD later :P watching the princesses dancing in colourful dresses and enjoying myself while doing it somehow gives me hope that i still have that few bit of my old self within me :)

i used to congratulate myself infront of you people every three months of my success after each term, right? and i dont really do it anymore right?? i know, right. i think i missed two terms without doing so..? now i'm in the middle of the last term of the year. less than a month to go to get over and done with this one. and i'm through to the last term, with God's willing. almost a year and a half passed, just like that *plucking fingers*. as much as i dont want it to be over too soon (coz i love the lecturers. now, really..?), i cant wait to be done with it either! i dont know whats waiting for me ahead, but i am pumped to know and discover. people say its a bitch, but i think i am ready to walk ahead and trip and stand up and fight :) lets just see la kan :P

friends are married. lots of friends. a couple of good friends. and another one coming up this weekend. and these few friends are those whom i was and am very close to. one is my childhood bestfriend, the first friend whom i called bestfriend as a kid :) one is my rebellious partner whom taught me a thing or two bout living in a society in which boys and men exist. haha and one is my leg warmer friend. eh? i mean she's so cool that she warms me up with her kind words and perspective of life, whenever i feel like banging my head to the wall :) congratulations, you three! i wish you all the best! and i hope our kids will one day be friends like we are, too! :) :) :)

congrats Rabiah! :')

congrats Asha! :')

i know this is random, but i think another reason for me not writing, is that thoughts and ideas always come at the wrong place. right time though, but very wrong place. like in the bathroom..? and during lecture..? and while i'm driving..? right timing, i tell you. like those are my thinking momento. well i'm not suppose to think bout other things during lecture though, but some things lead me to another you see. but but BUT, i cant write the thought down cos i dont have a pen and a paper with me at that time! i dont carry a pen with me in the bathroom, do you? i cant write while i'm driving, you can aa? and i cant pretend like i'm writing notes when i'm actually writing an emotional blog entry  while i'm in the class, kannn?? hehehe but now! i'm in the class. finally.

they all went to the canteen, leaving notebooks and laptops just like that. its a safe place.

oh! about my birthday! :) about it.....

the promise that was broken

Assalamualaikum :)

these few days, i've been missing Adelaide. one place that i promised i will never go to again, or even miss it. but here i am, helplessly missing the city. especially this one:

the empty parking lot of Harbour Town and a red rooster building at the back. i think i miss the red rooster building the most. heh

and the late evening walk at Glenelg beach :')

and the pianos scattered around the city. Glee's purple piano project reminds me of these pianos :'|

Adelaide was this vacation full of emotions, i mean all kinds of emotion. starting from the immigration check in, till the departure for Melbourne, which somehow contribute to me vowing never ever stepping my feet there ever again. haha see how i emotional i get with her? :P but i admit, i AM missing Adelaide, the laidback city. especially those 70's style houses! if i could, i would stop and take photos in front of all the cute houses i passed by! or maybe build one just like it here in Malaysia? cuteness i tell you! :P well, on top of everything that happened, i miss those time badly, and i miss my travel mate dearly :')

high school crush

Assalamualaikum :)

i just went back from the Westlife concert. like seven hours ago. ahah but i cant sleep since i drank teh tarik for the very late dinner just now. or was it just post-concert excitement? :B my heart is beating fast like a drum beat on a macarena song. yerdeh. i did try the relaxation method, or whatever you call it, to slow down the heart palpitation, but failed. hey i succeeded in few cases before! oh yess i got insomnia alot! its just the beginning of the semester, only week 1 to be exact, and i'm already staying up throughout the night (the best part is i did nothing but toss and turn in my bed instead of doing assignment!!) ! hoorayy! not.

so yeah, about the concert. AWESOME! need i say more? Westlife was awesome as always. as awesome as 11 years ago. i just wished they could sing more of the old old tracks - coz they sound more familiar than the new ones...? :P honestly, i stopped following them after i left secondary school. not purposely though, it just grew out of me. it grew out most of people i think. maybe cos we have more things to attend to other than drooling over some good looking fellas who sing beautiful love songs? but i never stop liking them though. whenever i hear their new song on the radio, i can easily recognised Shane & Mark's voices and i know that's Westlife :P and to prove my love for them, i never like another band or singer more than i like them after i stopped following them. well, until JB comes up. but that's nothing compared to how i love those Irish lads! ok nang mena-menar lah nak convince you people that i really like these people. like proving my love to them gituu. well, there were the very first band/singer that i'm a fan of from the English mainstream. seriously. before Westlife, i was the biggest fan of Elite!!!!! hahahaha SERIOUS confession here, people!! :P nahh i'm not ashamed of it. i still like to look at the pretty photos of the Elite members. i guess every girl has an idol to look up in their process of growing up, right? well i first started with a Barbie, and then the fairytale princesses (or was it the other way round? it should be the other way round) and then there were these Elite girls. haha ok we were talking bout who, again? Westlife or Elite? a'hah about the concert, the only thing that was a bit frustrating was the stage. stage AF lagik grande than this one. it was just a rectangular stage in black. no LED lights under the floor like Anugerah Juara Lagu. just.plain.black. no fun. since i don't really know their new songs, what more to memorise the lyrics of those songs, i can't sing along to those songs. but but but! - i did screamed my lungs out to What Makes A Man and Flying Without Wings!!! i'm actually surprised that they sang What Makes a Man since it wasn't a hit song. was it? i was hoping they do the signature Swear It Again, or legendary If I Let You Go. like the very first few songs that introduced Westlife to the world! heheh BUT i was also expecting Flying Without Wings, so i am super duper contented! :) and when Nicky said 'raise up your hands if you listened to Westlife songs during your high school time?' or something like that, i just feel connected, you know! you who listened to Westlife songs especially during your Form 1 2 3 years would know what i'm saying! but then he added 'yeah! it makes you feel old, right?' or something like that. ahaha what we all did not expect was, a proposal made by a guy to his girlfriend on the stage before the thousand pairs of eyes in the stadium! and after the lady said yes to her newly-engaged man, the Westlife lads sang My Love with the couple still sitting on the stage. and they hugged after the song ended! i mean the newly-engaged couple hugged those four Irish boys one by one, not they hugged each other. how romantic and sweet and beautiful moment was that?? not the hugging part (that was the jealousy part), the proposing part in front of many on a stage with Kian and Mark recording the moment on their personal recording devices! well having a heart as soft as a tissue, of course i cried. it's like watching romantic comedy bah! the difference is its the real world and those two people are serious in marrying each other, not an act, that the ring stays on the finger after the curtains are drawn! i hope. all in all in all, i still have the hots for Shane :P

that's the happy couple. and the boring stage.

(didn't expect the photo would be too small - very the lazy to crop. :P)

happy faces of 12 years Westlife fans! :)

now now now. still no sign for my eyes wanting to shut and call it a day. in fact, i think i'm ready for breakfast. nyum nyum nyum~

apologies

Al Fatihah

on 26 August 2011, also 26 Ramadhan 1432H, Friday morning - my Nek Aki peacefully passed away slightly before Subuh adhan. its been two weeks now since he left us - a wife, 6 children, 5 children-in-laws, and 18 grandchildren. and i am already missing him like crazy. and when i recalled you once said, Fatin Amira is a special name, i cried hard. i cried then, and i cry now. Allah SWT surely planned it all. He chose towards the end of Ramadhan, where almost all of his grandchildren were already back in Kuching (except for two) to have Izrail took his roh from his body. i pray he is in a better state wherever his roh might be right now. and i pray i see him again one day in The Jannah. Rasulullah SAW said people in The Jannah are all young and fit, i hope i recognise you enough, Nek Aki, coz from the photos of a younger you i saw in your house, you were quite good looking that i almost fell for you :') may Allah SWT grants us all the ability to strive for His pleasure in this world, and grants us death with Iman, Ameen. till then, my doa are always with you, Nek Aki. i ♥ you..

one or another

Assalamualaikum wbt :)

i was once asked by a male friend, ''when are you getting married?'' and i said, ''when i'm ready'' and he asked again, ''ready for what?'' i went, ''ready to take care of my husband'' and he said back, ''why do you think you have to take care of him? why is it not him who's taking care of you?'' i stared blankly at him with eyes wide open. i was taken aback. i never really give that a thought. seriously, that coming from a guy, was really a mind boggling.

i'm not the best person to talk bout relationship. i've been in one relationship with this dude since year 2000, which makes us .. 11 years plus plus now? well, i seriously stop counting after year tenth. though it is a whole ten years of a love story, i cant say that i know everything bout being in a relationship, let alone bout this species they say hails from Mars. yes, of course i learn alot from the years of being in love with one person. i know how he acts around elder people and how he treats his parents with honour, respect and passion. i know the exact word to say to tick him off. i remembered him saying how happy he was that SPM is over, that he wanted to kick me. not all that romantic, i know. its just him expressing his feelings in the weirdest choice of words. but no worries, he did NOT kick me. i watched him took those nervous proud steps on his graduation day 2 years ago. i watched him grow from a boy to a man :) what i'm saying is, being in this single relationship for this long of a period, is different from being in a few different relationships with different people. i could not compare him to another man, coz i dont know any other man. i could not feel different type of treatment, coz he's just being his oneself. i dont get to be introduced to different sets of friends, or even families. but what i could do is, i can anytime and anywhere say ''Dear! you remember that one afternoon we went to the beach and you adopted some siput to become your pets? who goes to the beach in the afternoon, seriously? anyway, you were really taking care of them by not letting them out of your sight .. eventhough they were only digging into sands to protect themselves from a creepy foster dad like you. and then after you finished your Baywatch moment we ate homemade bihun goreng together on the deck. you remember that baby? now what year was that again??'' or .... ''what was your birthday present to me when i turned 21? what did i get you? did i already give you a watch? oh crap i'm out of things to give for your birthday!'' i'm just trying to say that i can reminisce all the sweet and not too sweet moments we went through together anytime without him saying ''i never did that with you?!! // *weird stare at you* // who the heck are you thinking of right now???! // *awkward silence* // *knowing gesture* // *sulking on 1 party, or both*''

i am actually trying to say all relationships need give and take. (errr i dont think i get that message across quite correctly) like what my Justin Baby Bieber says in one of his songs 'it supposed to be some give and take, i know' a relationship doesnt work if there is only 1 part playing Romeo, nor wont it work if only 1 pair of legs doing the tango. doesnt really matter if you're in a 10-year love affair or 3 months cupid stricken, but it does matter how you treat each other with respect and much love through out every triumph and trouble. everyone needs a shoulder to cry on every now and then. behind a man's success, always stands a woman whom he cant do it without; and behind a woman's success, syurga tetap di bawah tapak kaki suami. eh?

so bottom line, do you want to be with your loved one coz you want to be taken care of, or do you want to be together so you can take care of each other for as long as Allah wills you? :)

for a short tazkirah in Ramadhan, Nabi Sulaiman AS once said to his son ''it is better to walk behind a tiger and big snakes which are black, rather than walking behind a woman''. women is the least failed weapon used by the shaitan to destruct men and make them go astray. so, in the holy month of Ramadhan, it might be a good start for all of us to learn to lower our gaze unto the opposite sex. quoting a friend: ''the more sacrifice a person makes (in controlling the gaze) the greater will be the elevation in spirituality. Ibn Qayyum rahamatullahi alayh said that a person who dies without repenting from the sin of casting lustful gazes will be deprived of seeing Allah the Most High.''

Salam Ramadhan all :) :) :)

Nisfu Syaaban

its Nisfu Syaaban tomorrow, friends :) 16 July 2011 it is, starting from Maghrib. 'nisfu' means middle in Arabic; nisfu Syaaban means the middle of the month Syaaban. there are lots of benefits of the night of Syaaban, among others:

"A hadith said that the advantage of the month of Rejab is the same as the benefits of the Holy Quran compared to other 'qalam', the month of Sya'aban as the same as the entire 'Anbia', and the month of Ramadhan as the same as Allah over all the creatures.One of the benefits of Sya'aban is that those who fast on any day, Allah will forbid him from hellfire and they will be companions to Prophet Yusof in heaven.Another hadith, as narrated by Ibnu Habban in his authentic book, from Muaz bin Jabal ra, said that Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) spoke that "Allah will see his followers on the night of Nisfu Sya'aban and Allah will give rewards or pahala to all of the followers, except those who commit syirik (witchcraft) and adultery".As narrated by Abdullah bin Amru bin al-As, which means "Allah looks at his creatures on the night of Nisfu Sya'aban, and will grant forgiveness, except for two groups, that are those who commit suicide and those who spread fitnah"." (source)

"Hari nisfu sya’aban adalah hari dimana buku catatan amalan kita selama setahun diangkat ke langit dan diganti dengan buku catatan yang baru. Catatan pertama yang akan dicatatkan dibuku yang baru akan bermula sebaik sahaja masuk waktu maghrib, (15 Sya’aban bermula pada 14 hb sya’aban sebaik sahaja masuk maghrib)" (source)

"Dari Abu Hurairah r.a : Nabi saw bersabda : “Telah datang kepadaku Jibrail pada malam nisfu Syaaban dan dia berkata : “Ya Muhammad, pada malam ini pintu-pintu langit dan pintu-pintulah rahmat dibuka. Maka berdirilah dan kerjakan solat lalu angkatlah kedua tanganmu ke langit”. Kata saya : Hai Jibrail, apakah erti malam ini?” Dia menjawab : “Pada malam ini telah dibuka 300 pintu rahmat, maka Allah swtmengampuni orang-orang yang tidak mensyerikatkan Allah dengan sesuatupun, kecuali para ahli sihir, dukun, orang yang suka bermusuhan, peminum khamar, orang yang berbuat zina, pemakan riba, orang yang derhaka kepada kedua orang tua, orang yang suka mengadu domba dan orang yang memutuskan tali persaudaraan, maka sesungguhnya mereka itu tidak akan diampuni sehingga mereka bertaubat dan tidak mengulangi.”" (source)

here's another great read. i only hope all my readers understand Bahasa Malaysia, cause i cant really find good articles bout Nisfu Syaaban in English :)

my hungry turtles

                                 now you see..                                            now you don't!

toodles!

thank God it's Kuching!

i am currently in Kuching. been here for the past eight days. before i came back from KL, i had all these keazaman to update my blog and also my FB albums. BUT up til now, i havent done anything to both (this is the first attempt and i'm going off to KL soon). i rarely check the FB and i dont really log on to the blogger! then i start tracing back the root to my laziness/procrastination: when you're away from home, you have nothing else better to do than checking your account every now and then to peek on all the cool stuff thats happening that you're missing out, BUT when you're home, you're THE happening! so you dont really need those alam maya thingy to make you feel good or fill your time, coz you have real people in real time. betol sik???? cepat padah betol! erhh bottomline: my life in KL is dull la eh? you can say so, a bit lah :|

i have a cat name Fasha here. why the name, or how? well this tabby cat has white hair on her toes which makes her look as if 'berpaca'. you know, paca kuku ya bah, nail polish kata urang puteh. so instead of calling her 'Paca', i give class to the name hence 'Fasha'. hehehe bukan sempena Fasha Sanda ok. but then, as the cat grew bigger and older, she becomes ngegeh and very manjak. she's ngegeh around human - she doesnt want human to touch her, she'll run away when you go near her; she's manjak with her mummy and all other cats around - she'll come from whichever angle and poke her head to other cats' head, depan ka blakang ka tepi ka, tang ada ngesel palak nya ke palak pusak nak sekok gik ya. she usually do this to her mum lah. but if you start playing with other cats in front of her, she'll come and poke her head at you too. and thats her being ngegeh + manjak + jealous? and oh ya, she still drinks the milk from her mummy eventhough the milk are meant for the batches below her :| and then..... something happened. Fasha gave birth to three healthy kittens last Monday. at first, she looked like she didnt know what to do with the babies. beranak pun mengarei. first time bah, oo tedah. but when me and my sister put them all together in a box, she cant leave her babies even for a while! she's in the box for almost 90% of the day. she only comes out to eat, she doesnt even drink after eating but walks straight back to her babies!! she is the most loving mother cat we ever had in this house, serious aku janji! sometimes when i purposely flag the food in front of her so she would come out to eat, she ignores the food (mostly she ignores me) and continue being a caring & loving mother instead. so sweet lah u Fasha! but you're still ngegeh, alu jadi macam Fasha Sanda sikit sikit.

fifteen minutes ago i have a few more things on my mind that i want to share, but now, it looks like i forgot the points... hihihihi talk bout short attention span. macam pusak. oh i miss Mickey.

Kuching is so damn naisss!! want to stay here longer and not wanting to go back to KL soon can? pleeeeeease~

praises and gratitude

i have so many things to be grateful in life. i just finished another presentation two hours ago. another module done for the course. two days ago, when me and my partner started with the prototype, it felt like its a never-ending process of folding and cutting and taping the bits and pieces together. but today after we were done with the prototype, the concept boards and the presentation, it feels unbelievable that we actually did it. and most importantly, we did it on time. Alhamdulillah.. yeay!

i have so many things to be grateful in life. in time of sadness, or confusion, or when the pressure of getting things done in time and at the same time giving out the best is really testing my patience, i have Him to turn to, and everything else in life seems so small compared to the reassurance that i get back. in time of loneliness and when it feels like no one else could actually be there with me and for me, i am grateful that i have my thoughts on Him and i know that He's watching on me and He's taking care of me. at times when others are panicking and running back and forth looking for answers, i got mine from praying to Him, my Creator. thank you Allah for opening my heart. thank you Allah for i am born in a Muslim family. thank you Allah for the faith i have in you. thank you Allah for i will always have you in my life. thank you Allah for everything, everything, everything that i see, touch, feel, listen, think and smell everyday.

lets spend a minute or two and raise our hands to express our gratitude and praises to Him, Allah the al-Mighty, for everything that we have today.

i have so many things to be grateful for in life.

we have so many things to be grateful for in life.

hey June!

helllloooo people!! it is officially a month since my last entry! it has been a very busy one month for me, with many ups and downs of mood swings, well mostly downs. if it does swing up, it only lasted for a moment and i'm back down the slope.. if i could make a graph out of my mood, it think it'll probably look like a drawing with two or three small hills with deep abyss in between. haha ok metaphor. i'm actually still in class, just finished a so-so presentation. standing and talking in front of a crowd always makes me say stuff i regret. HAHAHA lets just say it didnt go that well. ok thinking bout the presentation makes me sad...

will be having term break soon though! now that is something to look forward, right?? now lets get back to more submissions!

Melbourne, part I

my plane boarded at 6.20am Adelaide time. so we get to see the sunrise while we're in the air. this was the horizon of Australia during the dawn. Subhanallah, pretty isnt it? :') and i like to think that the bulging thingy which create uneven line on the orange background is Ayers Rock, another place i'd really like to visit someday :)

after a 2-hour nap after we got off the plane, went for halal food hunting. and found this Indonesian restaurant, Nelayan. boleh la tahan, lapar tek nak.. and my friend deliberately took this photo with the nyonya at the back. tokay kedei ya katanya..

while we were in Melbourne, the Melbourne International Comedy Festival just started. i saw the TV ad since we were in Adelaide, but not until i watched this ad in our hotel in Melbourne that i realised this people take the festival really seriously in this city!

Melbourne people really have at least one funny bone in their body huh?

the event night. i wanted to walk up that stairs and take photos of the posters, but we were late for a dinner appointment with my cousin. it looks cool right from the outside?

the event venue of the festival at night, side profile.

this was where we're heading for the first dinner in Melbourne. Lythgow Street. this crossroad somehow looks like one which is in Adelaide. the west town or something.. macam dejavu ngan Adelaide jap..

a buliding not far from our hotel. see the blue flags on the right? thats the comedy festival posters yapping in the wind. hehe (these photos are not in timeline order)

the building i admired very much once i laid eyes on it. then it turned out to be a church. the gothic design of the buildings of its kind, the detailing, and how it just stands out from the others, i'm amazed!

just opposite the gothic building: Federation Square. google dikpun apa ada sia k. saya malas. bak kata Apiz when i asked him to google apa tah, "ingat google ya cikgu kah?" oh wait, the buildings are listed on the direction board already. tadaaa!

view of the other side of the river. see those flagss (again)???

Federation Square was also used as one of the venues for the comedy festival. Melbourne is so full of artsy stuff! i very loike lah!

tiba-tiba ada gamba building di waktu siang. yesss this was in the morning, the ones before was during senja. mun Bapak tauk mesti kenak anok main luar waktu Maghrib -_-"

another view of the other side of Yarra River. that is Melbourne Art Centre. macam Eiffel sik? cepat padah aok.

adjacent to the square, is the Spencer Street Train Station.

inside the station. lotsa clock showing the times of the train departing. ada immigrant jual bunga on the right. all the flowers are prettyful! i mean beautyful. i mean beuatiful. b e a u t i f u l lah. mok backspace pun malas dah :|

train route.

this was my first encounter with RMIT sign (at one of the shoplots) when we were busy food hunting for the first time. i stopped for a while to peek on this 'Capitol Theatre' and i thought "emmm kay.. so this is RMIT. should have some classes and offices upstairs lah oo..."

kept on walking and found this building with tonnes of young people lingering around it. muka macam abang ku nang banyak lah. and i wondered whhyy.. where did these people come from? why suddenly your faces are evrywhere? why?

and then i saw this awesome piece of art next to the building above. i still wonder wth.

and then came this building into view, next to the building with the awesome green slime on it. and then terpampanglah RMIT University sign sebesar gajah menempeleng me in the face. and then i monologue dalaman "WHOAH! COOL NYA RMIT!!!!!! (bukan sekadar a shoplot tepi jeraya -____-")" the building with the grenn slime is also RMIT's building. the one with lots of people sitting on the grass is Melbourne Library.

also RMIT.

one of their studios which is visible to pedestrians. it is like half  below ground level, if you know what i mean (like this is me looking down on the window). very the cool!

very the cool one more time.

opposite the library. shopping mall with cinema. absolute coolness RMIT tok!

RMIT too.

RMIT again.

ohh.. thats what it stands for..

yea in Australia you can basically drink the water directly from the tap, unless stated otherwise.

tiba-tiba ada gik RMIT di belakang lorong.

summary: RMIT is everywhere. mengarei okay. turn right RMIT, turn left RMIT. its like an open campus university. is that what they call it? or is it city university ka apa oo.. i'll google it ask my dad again cause he did mention bout it once. i think there are more of RMIT photos in my memory card, which i yet to transfer. teeheee! if there are more interesting shots, i'll definitely share it with you guys! :)

now now, lets sleep. coz i have tonnes of assignments due next week! okay that just doesnt go together... part II coming up when i feel like it :D
