Celebrating Verlize 1month today

buffet at Bro-in law family Thai resturant with family and friends. their pineapple rice is as nice as ever. i'm eating the cold brocolli, left over from the buffet that now it have a fishy taste. nonethelss, i still finish all. HA, i love brocolli the afro veg.

after so long, i finally make it on time for church today. vainly, i wore heels and it was a bad choice. the weather was so hot that it makes my feet perspire, makes my feet kept slipping forward, makes my feet blistered- just a little. wanted to shake the earth with my thunder thighs in heels. in the end, i tired my feet. HA!


i was surfing Lookbook, and came across many high waisted fashion. i really love it, i wish i could pull it off without looking like a pear. got to admit, i got WIDE PLASMA TV hippy buttie. how sad :( the short short short, shorts on their skinny legs looks fab. i know short shorts have been the most loved apperals for all the Ah Lians in SG, with t-shirt, and slippers. woots, totally AH LIAN. but you know what, shorts is the best for skinny girls to show off their long skinny legs. whether or not you look like a Lian, is how you match your top, you hair, your footwear, how you accessories your entire look and most importantly how you carry yourself  to look stunning/ sexy in shorts. i almost forgot, most AH LIAN have staright american express rebonded hair. i totally hate the rebonded hair.

take this photo for example. stud padded blazar, high wasited short with tuck in tees. rock.

i rebonded my hair, and i regreted it. the hair was so flat that it sclap your entire head/ face shape out. if you got a nice face shape, like a long almond good for you. but if you got a round moon face like me, NEVER fall into the trap like i do and rebond your hair. i did it on impluse to kill my frizzy hair. many times after that, i want my frizzy hair back! the volume, the big hairdo. well.. not all negative actually, my hair ends looks straight now. before, all my ends look electrocuted.

Lung filled of Nicotine

woooots, just came back from the 2nd filming session. while my memory is still fresh i want to blog it down! currently my production crew and i had a collaboration with a local malay culture theater- Artistik Theater for their upcoming production (i'm happy to be part of it). tonight we started wee late, i have no idea what time we start. but i know now the time is 1.34am.

today the scene setting is something about going to heaven. the site was film at this back alley staircase at Thomson, somewhere near The Prata House. to create the Heavenly feel, white clothes were used to cover the stairs and of course, heaven needs the smokey blurry effect. Dry ice were use and Cigs. hahhaha. wonder why?

apparently the dry ice was too little to fill the entire stairs with smoke. instead of placing the dry ice all over the stairs, we had them smoking right under camera. then, we face one problem- the dry ice was not corporating. it did not fly in the direction of the camera, because of the ever changing wind direction. and....TADAAAA, the smokers do us a great and better job, they started blowing smoke into the camera. which i think is more effective because the smokers have more control over the smoke.

though it was only 1 scene, but we had a total of 12-15 take. can you imagine how much smoke it that? ALOTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT.

i had fun nonetheless. the directors got some humor. Most of the time i'll get lost in the converstion because the directors are too comfortable in speaking malay but more or less i can understand a little. i learn a new malay word today. Smoke in Malay is call "Asap".

after we pack up the directors treat all the cast & crew for supper at THE PRATA HOUSE. awesome awesome pratassssss~ way better then the one in jalan kayu! great day, tomorrow there will be another filming at 2pm. another great day, need to get some sleep now.

Good day ;)

HELLO!

i couldn't stay home too long today, because whenever i am seated, i am surrounded by FOOD. Unhealthy junkS to be precise! naturally while i am watching tv, my eyes on the tv, my hands on the junkies. F-A-T to the maximum! to be a woman of my words that i said i wanted to go swimming today, jump right on to my feet and pack my stuff~ off i went.... SWIMMING~

it is like a spur of adrenline rush to swim or a sudden eager- driven to slim down, or to pay back my non stop snacking the whole entire afternoon! firstly i like to compliment myself for keeping my promise to swim, and swim for an hour straight. back and forth the swimming pool, i thought i have lost my stamina. glad to say, it is still there, i just need more consistency to buff it up.

this kind of self motivated trip to the swimming pool don't come oftern, and definitely not consistent. i dreaded the whole afternoon, giving excuses like "oh the sun is too hot", procrastinated very long before i decided to step out of-da- house. HA. i hope & aim to swim every alternate day in a week. or at least 4 times in a week which is very ideal. HOPEFULLY, i can be a woman of my goals for this holiday. ;)

as i mention i'm having my year break now. school will resume in April. till then, i have to, have to, have to do something about my portfolio. I set up a tumblr account where i'll be posting all my works there. My tumblr is also link to my Twitter, so whenever my Tumblr is being update, my Twitter will be updated too. Tumblr is my new drugs now, and people update awesome stuff on their tumblr which i can do endless link link link, and explore to many cool stuff. endless drugs. :) i'll share them if i find them interesting on my tumblr & twitter. keep a look out ya!

i did a trial stop motion with my compact camera recently. i couldn't start on the editing yet because my laptop adaptar cable burned up a hole. this means i cannot charge my laptop, i can't depend on my laptop battery because it will die within an hour. * BIG SIGHT* called up the operator today to check if i could get a replacement. sadly, i can't. got to make a trip to Sim lim to buy a new spare parts soon. :( urgh.

work yesterday was pretty, "ULOONG". i was not schedule for work but i turned up. since i was already there so they let me stay. instead of working till closing, i left at 11pm.  i told my manager i am free to work yesterday, i thought he schedule me for work....*tsk* oh well, least they still let me work till 11.

pretty sure i'll be pretty active on Tumblr now, not on the updating part (my works), but the surfing part. haha. ayites, good day. :)

Dying to  be Skinny, but can't resist my Fav food

how, you tell me how?

this holiday i am going to make it fruitful till i enter into my 3rd year. how exciting yet i am feeling very worried about it. PORTFOLIO, PORTFOLIO, PORTFOLIO. it just keep screaming inside me. i am doing on a advertising, graphic design. that equals to endless time of photoshop, illustrator, research, tutorials... boomx.

so this holiday, say, i come out with at least 3 works? i can feel my eye bag swelling. once done i'll post up to http://olihuas.tumblr.com/  do check check check that space. do you believe i can do it? yes i believe i can. so from now on, i'll use that space to post up all my works there. :) keep watch of my Tumblr.

Once in a Year trip to Malaysia

for the once in the year CNY.

set out early in the morning to the ICA building to collect my passport then straight away speed into M'sia . once we got settle down, we had half chicken half duck for breakfast! B.R.E.A.K.F.A.S.T. i try to stick to my carb diet, but the plate of chicken rice smell and taste so good that i finish the entire plate. this is FAT FACTS #1

FAT FACTS #2- house visitation.
snacking on the CNY cookies of course. not in small portion, but binged.

FAT FACTS #3- before i know its lunch time already.
the host decided to treat us to one of the local restaurant with about a 7 dish menu? appetizer,  main, and one final dessert. food again, very tempting, can't resist. so i ate again. i wasn't hungry, but i ate bloody a lot, the host keep stuffing food to me, because he said, "young people can afford to eat more...."

FAT FACTS #4- long car rides
after eating we are back in the car for a long car ride before we reach another destination. SLEEPING ON A FULL TUMMY!. CNY = containers of cookies, eat again. i would have rather to choose to explore the area, IF all the houses are not located at such ulu deserted area with stray FIERCE dogs everywhere... those dogs scare the Olihua outta me.

i wanted to get around the house, just to explore around a little with my niece Chevelle, and there was 2 black stray dogs in the way. another word, i have to walk passed them no matter what. roughly about 4 steps out of the door, one of the dog starts to bark and on that split second both dogs charged towards us. it was quite obvious that they make Chevelle the target first because one of the dog came so close that he almost bite her! honestly i was startle when they charged towards us, my first reaction wasn't to run but stay rooted there. Good thing i was holding on to an umbrella, it was the umbrella that shield us away from the dog. thinking back about now kinda scares me still.... ureeeeeeeeeeeeee~

 FAT FACTS #5- dinner.
binged binged binged a lot at the last house before dinner.
again, dad's relative decided to treat us for dinner at this seafood restaurant. Fried seafood, food, food, food. i really really feel like puking out every everything.

in conclusion of the things that constitute to my weight gain in a day- 70% came from the enormous amount of food intake, 10% from unbalance intake and output, 40% from my greediness.

2010 CNY day 1

agree with me, do you find Chinese New Year is getting more silent each year? the decoration on the streets looks lifeless, the atmosphere was dull. what happen? my father brought up a very good point, back when i was a kid, CNY was much more joyous like you can feel it in the air. unlike this morning it feels like a slow motion. like a old film being screen only black and white with no audio. get my point? IT IS TOO QUITE TO FEEL THAT TODAY IS A FESTIVE SEASON!

end the whole CNY today feeling tired, could be the weather that makes people head spin a little. could be the little upset economics that contribute to the dull atmosphere. anyhow, i just argued with my elder sister regarding some Responsibility issue when i am the one with no Responsibility.

now i am an aunt of 2 niece, my sister gave birth to her 2nd child 2 days after my birthday on 4 Feb. in the normal situation, when the 2nd child is out the first child will suddenly deprived of attention. Chevelle was no exception. her tantrum is so bad, she makes nonsense cries first thing she wakes up and more nonsense cries before she sleep. all this nonsense sometimes brings me headache, cause you just don't what she wants and i bet she don't know what she wants either. she just wants to make nonsense cries.

my sister is doing her confinement in my house, and my mum is the busiest woman. anyone wants to complain, she should be the first. i have been very preoccupied with my world that i shut away from the others- almost entirely everything related to house chores or being a good aunt.

hey, i lose my train of thoughts. something showing on the television now is distracting me.

next time then.
and the word i've looking for is 'subtle'.
this is just random.

Give some thoughts

when i was on my home from a movie, suddenly this thought struck me. what will i be after i graduate? as i reflected, i realised that I have given more time into my temp job then my studies. though i only work once in a week or twice, but on those days that i did not work i have a tendency to took it as a "literate break from work" and procrastinate to work on anything else. when i got tons of things to be done. like my portfolio which i totally should do something about it.

the thought of being a nobody, as in career wise scares me. i think i need to give more thoughts to what kind of firm i want to work in and REALLY work towards it. i need to set a goal and work towards it. i need to be more self driven. i need to focus on my future more then all this temporary jobs that i have been sailing from one to another. because i just don't enjoy what i was doing in those temp job. if not for money, i'll not bother to labor there.

when i was jay crossing the road, another thought struck me again. what happen if a car came by and hit me down like Val? i have not succeed in any way yet, if i die right now i think i'll feel like the greatest loser on earth because i hadn't complete what i have begin.

one more year, graduation, excellent presentable portfolio.
and for now, i need a good internship. that will bring an eye opening for me, with lots of  blasting experience and very very beneficial to my portfolio.

A death of my classmate

my classmates and i attended her wake last Friday after school.

last Friday, 5th February, a classmate told us to check Val's (the name of the girl who had passed away) facebook, someone had posted Val's wake venue. she is dead. instantly everyone was shocked in disbelief, some of us thought it might be a joke. then again, it was too crude to be a joke.

the news was being spread while my classmates and i were in hanging out in the library waiting for our turn for the practical Understanding Test (UT).

me myself, i had goosebumps all over. just the day before, Val and i went for break together, she was still alive. then on Friday morning, she was pronounced death on the spot where she met the accident. according to the Chinese newspaper ( i might misread some of the character)her bike skidded and crashed into a lamp at the highway, the impact was so great that she was being thrown off the bike and landed on a grass patch. many body parts were severely injured, her head was the most fatal one.

at Val's wake when we arrived, it was a little awkward, we did not know how to react. her aunt came forward to bring us in, and my faci gave her the little envelope of money which everyone had pooled in. i had a little conversation with her aunt, she told me that Val passed away 5am in the morning that Friday. part of her sulk was crushed in, during the accident one of Val's ear flew off and could not be found. she told me something about how well the makeup artist had manage to cover up all the flaws, then she began to choke on her words, vivid tears starts to well up in her eye. she did not continue after that. that moment, i really don't know what to say. i just stared, i could feel the grieve inside her. Val's was covered and sealed, so we couldn't get to see her last, in the coffin...

some of the friends said it was a drink drive accident, but the newspaper said the bike have skidded. no one knows the exact reason, well, i felt really pity for her. i did not really get to know her well enough before she passed away. once, we had a chat and she told me about her family background and such. she is very independent, easy going, one of those who will crack jokes in class. just one more week to go and we'll all graduated from year 2, and one more year to getting our diploma. it is such a pity isn't it?

*Whisper it*

MY MOM FINALLY GRANT ME A ROOM!

i am happy, but i don't want to get over excited

because i got a feeling this is only for a short term.

i spend my birthday this year in the liabrary rushing all my project and night,

i celebrated it with my family.

this week got too many hiccups which are not very pleasing.

one of it was my

screwed up my presentation on wed,

my amount of works presented is too little,

i think my faci was looking for quantity > quality.

considering my quality & quantity of work i have now,

is really way to sucky to graduate with it

i feel embarrass for myself.

sucks man.

i feel like changing a job.

when actually the underlying reason is

I DON'T EVEN FEEL LIKE WORKING AT ALL

work is exhausting.

those time, i could use to work on my school projects.

"i need more time and sleep.

i need more efficient day time, and good night sleep."

my reflection will never lie.

i look so tired all the time.

those ugly sunken eye bag is as disgusting as my grades.

i got more Red then Black.

which means, i got more late coming then punctual.

those grades for my elective class is the most disgusting and demoralising ones.

C D C D C C D D X D D F

so disgusting!

AHHHHHHH

if only i can Ctrl + X now

and Ctrl + V myself back when everything have calm down.

those ulcers in my mouth makes me not want to open my mouth

makes me not want to eat

makes me kinda moody

makes my face feel swollen

makes me mispronounce my words

makes me not even want to open my mouth.

I can almost feel the Chinese Year spirit...

when one of classmate send me home just now. on our way back his dad went to pick up bags of CNY goodies along the way, as i sat in the car i listen to my friend and her dad chat about their CNY routine. that was when i feel slightly in the mood of CNY is coming.

apart from that, the entire day i feel so tired from the past 2 nights of rushing all my works just for my few seconds of presentation today. Sucks man. i was still mounting my works onto the mounting board when my faci called me up for my presentation. my presentation was brief, and i only presented 2 of my works. furthermore, today's presentation will be graded as part of my UT3! how not awesome is that? i know i had done a bad job. tsk! life still move on~

take a break, have an orange.
