Happy New Year, Oh Happy Me!

(long post alert)

First of all, I'd like to wish you a happy new year!
Well.. It's January 5th now, but the new year vibe is still there.

Anyway, I am so glad and feeling blessed!
On the first week of January, I got some freelance jobs already.
Even on the very last day of 2015, I was able to finish another work. Yay! (Sorry for being so proud of myself, teehee)

My latest work: faces on the tees. I made 60 different faces in less than a week!

And of course, not forgetting to share my trip to Malaysia with my school fellas!
So yeah, the 5 of us went to our neighbour country. It was our first overseas trip together.
We were so excited and waited for months before we could actually flew.
We stayed at First World Hotel in Genting Highlands - you should've known that it is very famous, moreover for its Casino.

At first, we thought it was going to be boring to just stay at the hotel but uh ohhhh, the Casino turned to be so interesting, lol!

All of us had turned 21 last year (2015), so we are legally allowed to play in the Casino area.
We made our membership card and stuffs. The security checked us at the entrance because most of us have younger faces, especially me.  They kept on checking me because my face is somewhat you call a 'baby face'. :')

I was proud at the beginning but then it started to bother me. Dude, I'm 21.

Then I bet you know already what was happening there. We played at the casino most of the time.
It was a new experience for me because I had never been in one before. And it was quite addictive for sure!

We played the jackpot machines at first, trying our luck but no no, it just kept on sucking our money! :(

At the end of our second day, I spent RM225 (approx. IDR700.000) on the machines..... *I was devastated seriously*

But things started to turn better when we learned to play Roulette. I even asked my mom and dad for lucky numbers :') Slowly, I got back my lost money- the whole RM225! Yayyyyy!

You know, we also had some quite scary experiences.
First. We were riding a cable car to go back to our hotel when suddenly it stopped! It was very windy and rain started to pour. We didn't expect that it was going to be that horrible. The cable was actually going up and down and shaking us inside the cable car. We screamed because it was really scary :(
Thank God, we were able to get back safely!

Second. We went down to KL for celebrating new year. It was sooo crowded and I never thought that it was so packed. We stayed at Bukit Bintang and went to KLCC where the Twin Tower is, and we had to walk back because the LRT was not working that night. It took us more than 30 mins. Scary people were on the street. We saw a group of 'punk' kids who brought bottles while running, and so... we couldn't help but to run too. We ran away from them. There were also some annoying people who sprayed stuffs to strangers. And we started to run again.

Ok, basically this post is describing our trip in details. I think I need to stop talking and will just show you some pictures!

At Berjaya Times Square

We visited Chin Swee Cave Temple and each of us had a 'photo-time' hehehe. Yeah, the perks of travelling with fellow design students- you are able to get a new profile picture.

 New Year Eve's in front of the famous Twin Tower! It was 2 hours before we got tired of the super crowded streets :')

Lastly, thank you for giving some time to read this long post. I wonder if there is someone who actually read this though.

Have a nice day.

Be Positive!

'Be positive! Be positive!' This is one thing I have on my mind recently.

I don't know why and how, I just feel like I'm turning to be such a bad person. Not as bad as in a real bad way, but- I tend to look at people from their negative side. 

I had a quite-deep-talk-and-joking session with my sister last night. 

We usually tease each other and you know.. talk about our current circumstances and stuffs. And I poured out a lot of my... 'anger'? 

Well, I wasn't angry, I just had some stuffs I need to throw away from my head. But then, I think my brain noticed that something is wrong.

Like how negative I was, because I've been 'judging' a lot of people for the passed few weeks.

And I feel that... it is not right. This is scaring me.

The fact that I talked bad about some people just because I don't like how they act and react about something, how they talk, and some bad habits of them- that's just stressing me out. 

It is human nature, people said. But still, I ended up feeling guilty :( 

Have any of you been through this too?

Honestly, I don't want to have negative thoughts about others. It is driving me crazy of how uncontrollable and how scary is human's mind. When you lost control of it, your mind and your mouth are the most dangerous thing in this world. You can harm people with your words. And I don't want it to happen. 

And anyway, I apologise for this post. I just need something to say it out loud.

The Return of The Lazy Student

Hello, guys!! 
It's been so long since I updated this blog. I wanted to post something before, but... I always ended up saving 'em on draft. Sobs

To be honest, I don't even know what to type right now and I don't even know what am I doing here.
My head has been full with a lot of things recently. And I thought like I need to do something to pour 'em out. So here I am! 

Today is supposed to be my last day of internship. Oooh, time surely flies so fast. It feels like I just started, and it's going to end already. It's a great experience to be there. (there: High End Teen)

This company gave me a lot of memories. I got a lot of friends, and an annoying boss (HAHA). But anyway, it's such a blessing to know them. Despite of being a pain in my ass, they are quite cool and I think we're kinda connected in some ways? Like, we have a similar habit: EAT LIKE THERE'S NO TOMORROW. Yeah!

Hmm, what else? 
Oh oh, I recently got a few of design jobs which make me veeeeery happy. Can I get more jobs please? Hehehe :> 

Now that I think about it, I'm graduating next year. I shall find some part-time jobs. I need money dude, I'm old enough and I don't want to always depend on my parents. 

Anyway, after digging some portfolios of mine... I'm thinking to post it up to my blog (ok, next post will be all about my works), hoping that someone will see it and give me some design jobs please? Hehehehe :>


Ok, pardon this unrelated post and omg it's 2:45A.M! 
See ya again!

Tania's 17th Birthday Invitation

Tadah! This is my first time making an invitation for someone's birthday. So pls bear with the simple design :) 

My cousin, Tania, will be having her 17th birthday soon. Then I decided to design this invitation.

Theme: Something with blue and yellow

Illustrator - Photoshop

(The color might seem so dark but it is not like that)

Glad that she liked it when I printed it out! ^^

Printed ones

Art carton 240 gsm

de' Capiela's Logo

So I was being asked by my friend (Ella) if I could help her to make a logo. It was going to be used for her assignment. The brand is 'de' Capiela' - Croissant Specialist.
She wanted to use soft/pastel colours. And she wanted a girl's head (cartoon) to be the icon. 
And yeah, I doodled manually and traced it using a pen tablet. Here is the final look.

Doodle - manual

 Tracing - Wacom Bamboo

Finishing - Illustrator + Photoshop

Candle Light Photography

Hello!
So these are my recent photoworks~
Our lecturer asked us to make a candle light photography. At first, I wondered what object I would use for the task. Then I came up with an idea to use a mask that I got from my school's event and my dad's wine glass. I really enjoyed taking the pictures. 
Anyway, I didn't adjust the photos, so it's a little bit dark.
