I love Photoshop!

Last night went out with Daph and Yen. Had great time chatting, learn online shopping and facebook-ing. Since today very free in spite of taking care of my nieces, I decided to edit this photo with photoshop.

Memory of us.
Old but memorable.

Humility

It takes courage to sincerely admit that you're wrong, that is Humility

No matter how hard you try to defend yourself. In the end, deep inside you, your conscience will tell you that you're actually wrong. I find that to be humble towards people who are younger than you, its kinda......really hard. Still learning though to be humble. I believed that its not easy for people to be humble. I'll certainly solute the person who are humble.

Complacency

Complacency.. A feeling of contentment or self-satisfaction, especially when coupled with an unawareness of danger, trouble, or controversy. I used to feel that this word is very very negative. But to come to think of it, its not really that bad after all. Once in a while (not all the time!) we should be complacent.

I think that everyone has their time of complacency. I think its OK to be complacent at some point of our life. I would suggest that people who rarely rest their mind even when they sleep should take their time out to be complacent. Your mind need a break. And during your time of complacent, that could be the time where God could speak to you the most after all the clutters in your life are settled down.

Christmas.................... i wonder how it'll be like for this year......

Argh! I don't want to go back kl......... i wanna stay in kk....... My hostel very unreasonable.. want to charge us extra rm30 for services and maintanance fee every month. the rental also very unreasonable.. I wish I can find a near, convenient and nice house to stay.. :)

Today had a bad critique from my lecturer. Like Kiki in the Kiki's Delivery Service(I watched just now), i feel like i have lost my abilitiy to design. :( I have to find back the reason i love design at the first place(that's what I learned from the move). I need to take a break and maybe have a 24 hrs movie day! Coz I got a LOT, really a LOT of movie from my friend. wuahaha!

Tomorrow is Homes Christmas. We're suppose to have gift exchange. I seriously don't know what am I gonna give. I give cloths. coz I'm not sure if a guy or a girl will get my present.. So.... after several hours of thinking at Pyramid. I've thought of a good present! I'm gonna buy a notebook! With very very nice design on it. Sounds good huh? I bet! I hope whoever that is received it will like it. :) Tips that I learned from my sister regarding to buying gift to people: 1) Buy something that you think you'll like it as a gift; 2) Make sure make sure that you're able to afford it.

I wish I have a thick, nice notebook too for copying sermon notes.. :) coz mine almost rotten. no la.. actually almost finish. I remembered the one notebook Calvin gave me. I seriously fully used it. It still exist now. But then, a bit dirty already coz got spilled by water. My Bible also kind of old already. Its my first Bible :) Still love it very much. Old but Precious! hehe.. I think its time to gives it a new covering for Christmas as a present for it.

Oh well.... I gotta scoooot now. OR maybe take a short nap before I go masak my dinner? Argh malas lah... I wish I'm back in KK now!

Poster Design

Photoshop

Instead of uploading the photo one by one, i've put all the images together in photoshop. smart leh... hehehe..

Cry Comfort Found it!

Can't believe it. I have seen some of my classmate in some of the semester cried because of the pressure of assignments. Never did I think that I would be one of them in this semester. Don't think that I'm not blogging about this crying issue for sympathy. Just that the whole experience is really rare and embarassing for me..

I cried merely because i can't find my printed assignments and research folder for my typography assignments which has to be handed up today. Funny.. to remember how it actually happened.. I ran up and down twice from my class to the vision art shop, to find my printed assignments and research folder. The moment I ran up to my class for the last time, a feeling of dissappointment suddenly dawn upon me. Man! tears began to overflow from my eyes like...... drizzling rain? haha! :)

And then I remembered my there's a friend of mine also cried in this semester because of assignments stress(AS). I seriously don't know how to react. Should I go comfort her or should I be silent and let her have her own space. If I comfort her, what should I say? In the end, I chose to give her tissue and just sit beside her and do my assignment.

I think that some people don't like to be comforted when they cry but some people like it. For me, I don't like to be comforted because they'll make me cry ever MORE! However I like it also because you feel loved. Complicated ya.. That's because I'm a girl.. that's why.. I wonder what if a guy like to be comforted or not when they cry..

Oh ya.. In the end right, my friend found my thing at the vision art shop. Really glad that she helped me. by the way, I realised one thing oh.. when you cry right, you can get a lot of help. haha.. :P

aww man.. I've spent abt 2 hrs to beautify my blog. need to continue do my assignment for typography poster. Will upload it here....if i remember :)

In need of inspiration

think think think! I need idea and inspiration! I wish there's a mathematical formula for it... :( I'm doing a project for magazine layout and the topic im doing is orang utan! argh... the title's font and arrangement should have a orang utan essence in it.. what would you suggest to me? Don't wanna fail for this assignment. Gabriel is really pissed off last week. if this week i javascript:void(0)didn't give a good artwork he'll be FURIOUS!

What would a lovely day be like if our heart weren’t there?

What would a blessed day be like if God is not in midst of it?

I don’t know why..but I felt really empty today. It’s as if something missing in my life. I’m still figuring what it is. I wish i had the 'know it all' thinking cap.

Thirsty?

Tadaaa~ One of the design i learnt from vandelay blog. :)

You never praise me..

A friend of mine today just brought out an interesting question. So, here's the question.

Friend Me

Do you remember what are the things that your parents praises you for?
Erm nope. they rarely praise me. maybe coz they're afraid that i might get proud.
Then how about you? Do you remember what are the things that you praise your parents for?
Haha... Ya oh.. I don remember me praising them for something.

So praise and encourage someone Today especially your family! :)

Assignments never cease

Pencil.. It's you again......



They all come in one package (pencils, eraser, papers)

I normally sit on the floor to do my drawings now coz got unlimited space. I occupied most of the floor in my room. wuahaha.. :D

I'm picking up my guitar again. My friend borrowed me. :)

Today got random call from my friend to eat kan lou mee.chit chat chit chat. and then mention abt working part time. I'm hoping to get a part time job in starbuck for this semester holiday. Excited! so that i can learn how to make really really nice coffee.:) hopefully they accept ppl with 3 weeks holiday one. hehe.. still not sure whether to go back kk o not coz wanna take this time to save up money to buy a lot of stuff for my next sem: dslr camera and wacom tablet. all together is quite expensive. still deciding to get a very very cheap one not good quality first or to get the best one so that no need to fret on changing a better one in the future..

Lost

For the last few weeks I've been working on my 1st typography assignment. This assignment require us design the word that we've chosen. And I chose the word 'lost'.

Feeling lost?

'studies is one thing, but God is everything in my life'

Quote from Jade Tan

I'm lovin' it

:)

Nice o not?

Every good arts has it flaws. Mine got a lot.. cry...




The Handsome
For this one, the hand got a bit cacat.

The Joker
For this one, the eyes got a bit cacat..

The Macho
For this one, no cacat la I suppose.

Look good right all of them? However they don't look exactly like the references I used to draw them.

Think, pray and feel before you decide to do things that are very important in your life. Often time, I do things according to 'feel' and 'think', and prayer is often neglected in the list. Someone has thought me a lot of things in this past few days. Prayer seems to be a habit to him. I'm really amazed by it. Everywhere that he go, he'll surely pray first. He always encourage us to pray and pray before we decide to do anything that's crucial. Me, as a teenager(hehe yay! still in teenage year), I often act impulsively without thinking. I learnt that everytime I did that, I often got myself in trouble. I'm still learning to be careful with every of my ways by 'think, pray and feel'.




Calvin has gone to UK this morning. Of course most of us will be missing him very much because of the 'mark' he has left in each one of us. I just hope that we won't let his absence be an obstacle for us to keep on pressing forward for God coz I believe that he'll be pressing even more forward when he's in UK. So shouldn't we do the same as well? May God's presence be with him to guide and protect him when he's in Uk.




This afternoon had Huddle meeting with Ellie. We were informed that Homes is going to multiply in the next 2nd Homes. Although I've not been there for quite long time,surely I miss the time I spent with some of them. However its also good to multiply, if not, we won't have new comer. Oh ya.. today we celebrated Ellie birthday as well.
That's all!

Typography Design

I have this really cool assignment for my visual fundamental class. It is typography design. Found a lot of inspiration from Vandelay Blog : http://vandelaydesign.com/blog/design/photoshop-text-tutorials/ . Should really have a look in this web if you're interested in design using photoshop, illustrator, web design and many more. There's just too many things to learn in there.

One of my artwork (Learnt from Vandelay)

Tonight am gonna be an owl to finish this typography as I need to submit it tomorrow.... cry...

God is great!

Now am back to my college. it's my 2nd year 1st sem now :) happy! I wanna praise God for answering my prayer. After praying for my ptptn for really long time and finally surrendering it to Him last tuesday in my church prayer meeting, God immediately given me the ptptn yesterday. Hehe.. I know that most people can get the ptptn very easily. but for my case, it's a different story.. I did a lot of mistakes during the application for it. i spent quite a lot of money on printing and photocopying the ptptn documents. and then i sent the document to the wrong place. and then i need to redo everything again.. When i compile everything right, i gave it to the counsellor in my college and i still need to wait for about 6 months again. while waiting i got complain from my some people because of my carelessness. i felt the tension of my desperation for ptptn. it is very tiring everytime i think of it. when i started this semester, it is also time to pay the fee. and i felt the tesion again. it takes away my energy and made me very tired because i was worried about it. And then on tuesday, my leader asked me to go for the prayer meeting. but i was really tired and don't feel like going. but then my leader is quite persistant. so end up following her. during the prayer meeting, i felt the need to surrender this ptptn burden in my heart. Once i did it, i felt more peaceful and lighter.. I felt that God spoke to me "Carrie, you gotta look beyond the ptptn. You have God of Provider."

Yup... I don't have to worry coz I got a God of Provider! :)

Holiday.................?

I love Holiday! This time I'm having a longer break(1month).. Gonna rest as much as I can before the suffering semester come.

For the first few weeks, been spending with my family and Calvin. :) What else should I do?

Calvin gave me something really excited to do, design new buletin cover. But.... now no inspiration.. and my faithful companion Della is not with me :( I should've bring him along.Seriously need to use my time wisely. I'm learning guitar again! hehe.. I've learned one of my favourite song Bitter Heart by Zee Avi. She's incredible :) for 4 years her guitar took a back seat. But when she picked the instrument back up, who knows that she'd be flying to LA and record her new album.

You'll never know when opportunity knocks at your door.. I wonder what will be mine? :)

So much going on in one day

Today i thought it was gonna be like any normal day.

This morning i didn't pass up my group project to lecturer on time. so the lecturer don't want to accept it. my group member was quite disappointed at me. I'm really sad about it too. I just hope that our grade will not be affected that much.

This afternoon, while I was playing Sims3 in my room. i got a sms from my sis. I was shocked with the sms. I never thought that my grandmom passed away so soon. i called and asked my sis about it.

When I was young i really loves hanging out with my grandma. but when i grew up, things changed, i was so caught up with my own life that i forgot when was the last time i visit her. If i could turn back the time, i wish that i could spend my time with her and share with her about Jesus.

After a while, i called my mom to check out whether she's alright. From the sound of her voice, i know that she's trying to hold back her cry. Things happen so sudden. I wish that i could go back home earlier to see my grandma for the last time...

Shoe!

Yesterday

While searching for food at Asian Avenue, we went into a shop coz we saw a lot of sales in there. Guess what?! I found a Super cheap shoes! it's Rm19.90 only.. Cheap hor? At the same time i need this kind of shoes very much..

Rat-so-not-cute

Rats!!!! i hate rats... This morning i opened my cabinet...found out that my rice and Hup Seng biscuits got some small holes. I know its the rats who ate my rice and Hup Seng biscuits.. i just bought them... haven't open it yet. But the rat just have to eat my stuff.. Argh!! I should've put all of it in a Super Big container! Should buy one of the Ikea chest box just like Silvia..

Would you care for their future, even ours too?

You CAN save their one and only home, right?
You CAN save him, right?

Penyet & Revolution

This week is tiring but awesome! Tired of never ending stressful assignments and projects. But i'm still manage to handle it. I don't know why la.. I always procrastinate my works. Tonight i'll not sleep. hehe... drink more more coffee. hahahah... finish all the assignments at ONCE!

Yesterday, I went to eat at Ayam Penyet restaurant with my drama group friends. It's an indonesian cuisine. interesting and delicious. it's like a malay food. Got sambal. Some people use hand to eat it. I wanna try too but my finger nail are long.

Last night was the last night for Revo Conference. It was really pack. About 4oo people. Pastor Kenneth talks about Revival. It's amazing to see about 90% of people in the crowd responded to the altar call. God is really moving among young people. And we believe that Revolutionist will rise up in this generation.

Acts Church 2nd Album is OUT!! I bought it! :)

My Cat

It was really awkward today. i went to one of my friend house. she's Islam. so when i went into her house and saw her aunty and sister. i went toward them and shake their hand. i thought that was a manners that should be done just like what they show in tv. where they always salam people's hand as a manners. i loves my friend's house. she has a lot of pets especially CAT. i loves cat that manja manja me. sadly my own cat is not manja manja one.

I loves Matthew West song called 'motion'. it's really really touching. must listen! this is the link to listen(just click):

Matthew West The Motion Lyrics
This might hurt, it's not safe
But I know that I've gotta make a change
I don't care if I break,
At least I'll be feeling something
'Cause just okay is not enough
Help me fight through the nothingness of life

I don't wanna go through the motions
I don't wanna go one more day
without Your all consuming passion inside of me
I don't wanna spend my whole life asking,
"What if I had given everything,
instead of going through the motions?"

No regrets, not this time
I'm gonna let my heart defeat my mind
Let Your love make me whole
I think I'm finally feeling something
'Cause just okay is not enough
Help me fight through the nothingness of this life

'Cause I don't wanna go through the motions
I don't wanna go one more day
without Your all consuming passion inside of me
I don't wanna spend my whole life asking,
"What if I had given everything,
instead of going through the motions?"

take me all the way (take me all the way)
take me all the way ('cause I don't wanna go through the motions)
take me all the way (I know I'm finally feeling something real)
take me all the way

I don't wanna go through the motions
I don't wanna go one more day
without Your all consuming passion inside of me
I don't wanna spend my whole life asking,
"What if I had given everything,
instead of going through the motions?"

I don't wanna go through the motions
I don't wanna go one more day
without Your all consuming passion inside of me
I don't wanna spend my whole life asking,
"What if I had given everything,
instead of going through the motions?"

take me all the way (take me all the way)
take me all the way (I don't wanna go, I don't wanna go)
take me all the way (through the motions)
take me all the way

I don't wanna go through the motions

Brief updates of my life

O owww! Here comes the end of my sem 2, which also means sleepless night(mayb) coz have to finish plenty of final project. I can do it through Christ who strengthens me!

Been having a weird weather in KL. everyday sure got very hot sun and then suddenly rain heavily. is it like that in KK?

It felt like the thunder gonna hit me when i dry my clothes outside my house during the heavy rain.

Been having lots of hair fall. i'm getting bald soon! JK..

Been watching Friends on Youtube recently. quite nice the story. but very long eh the episode. not sure if can be faithful to finish o not.. hehe.. :)

God has been great and good in timing all the time. Rain often fall on the driest place on earth. Fall on me rain! :)

Been doing fast and prayer 21 days. Daniel's fast.

During Exploration Week

I went to Malacca for my college field trip! It was rili great! enjoyed myself very much.




My very first time ate Rice Ball Chicken. I ate 5 ball of rice. it's rili filling and tasty! Very cheap also..



It was rili hot in Malacca. My friend and I were desperate for shade and cold drinks. So we find Cendol to eat. I'm not rili a cendol's fan, you know.. but in Malacca, the Cendol here is simply irresistable and I'm in love with it! I ordered a Mango cendol. it's only Rm 2.70. Ohya, don't forget about the asam laksa noodle. it taste rili nice pedas and asam. cukup rasa..

I get to eat all these nice foods is all because my friend, Danielle(the girl in green tshirt) stays in Malacca. so she knows where we can find all the nice food.




Besides, on the same day Calvin, Caleb, Silvia and I get to go to 'small' Genting! it was rili awesome! we get to see the whole KL.. it was rili a breath-taking view. very nice hor? :)

it's rili a memorable day! :) had 2 exciting trip on the same day.

Believe it or Don't

I.......

Became very very seriously CHUBBY during this stressing week..

Projects Assignmentssssss.. All I want for my Christmas present is time time time :)

Finally! I got 'B'!!

yesterday my drawing class lecturer gave us back our previous class assignment(water colour painting). I was very surprise when I saw my mark for it. It's 'B'!! Since semester 1, 'B' was a really impossible target for me. I always target for C+. haha... at least its better than C. Here's my progress throughout the drawing class.

First painting: C

second painting:C+

third painting: B :)
