Class field trip much?
Storyline goes:
1) Firdaus is single, available, bored, desperate and staring at Zila's phone. 2) Sa'ad loves Nizam but their relationship is in a mess. Nizam hides a dark secret. 3) In mad lust, Nizam smooches Firdaus in front of a shocked and hurt Sa'ad. 4) It's a tug of war between Firdaus and Sa'ad for Nizam, and Nizam is in serious pain. 5) In the end, Nizam chose the ever-fabulous Firdaus as Sa'ad drowns his depression in iPhone games. Nurzila and Shafi'ah are featured in this shot. HAHAHA. (credits to Zila for the pictures)
...And this is what happens when you put DA19 in the National Museum. Today's been really entertaining. I love History Design & Culture class so much! But oh well, I'd better start on the new assignments now before I end up suffering at the last minute. I am pretty much psyched out about doing it right now, ideas are flowing through my head and leaking out of my nostrils and any other open vacant holes. K that sounded wrong, my bad. Ciaoz ;)

Tuesdays with Fifi.
IAD FTW \m/
...And this is what happens when you put a bunch of sluts together during a boring three hour break. That AND being reprimanded time and again by the Library Rangers (we got approached by pink ranger twice zomg ftw much right). I can't wait to get started on the Design H&C Assignment, and yet don't look forward to the Form Exploration Assignment. Screw that. BUT I LOVE IAD SO MUCH CANNNNNNN :>
p/s I cannot stand people who excessively use abbreviations to the extent that their sentences look extremely unintelligent e.g. "wat r u doin nw i bored ttm can entrtain mi plz", I'd very much like to shove their middle fingers up their asses, please and thank you.

The Designer-in-training speaks.
What I've been doing lately:
Design Elements: Space, Line, Balance, Color, Shape, Texture, Form, Unity, Value. Design Principles: Harmony, Contrast, Repetition, Variety, Dominance, Proportion, Functionality, Proximity.
Honestly, if you were to ask me what their individual definitions are, I'd definitely fail the test. I really need to put more effort into all this memory work. Then again, my lecturer is pretty much someone who'd dread having to explain things repeatedly. She deliberately ignored my question! I am so miffed. And not to mention, she's pretty vague when it comes to briefing for assignments. Her students = Sure-fail. Or rather, the slower students. Like me. :/
Burned the midnight oil last night and late into the morning. So I guess that at this point in time right now, I'm thoroughly drained and exhausted. I don't really want to talk about or go on about how the day went, all I could say is that it's pretty depressing because when I finally take the initiative and effort to do something, it gets crushed by an evil lecturer. I've been under constant stress lately because my work is apparently piling up in front of me; specifically, daily journal entries worth a week. Two, in fact. One for each module. And her constant PMS attitude obviously isn't making life any better for us. Sigh.
Oh, and for the punks who think that Poly life is oh-so slack, please think again. Just because you see us hanging around 'freely' and spamming snapshots with our cameras or webcams does NOT mean that we have absolute freedom and lots of free time. It's simply a way of sidetracking and getting our mind off the work that's obviously not shown explicitly in front of the camera :)
Oh oh and speaking of which, I finally found out exactly who stole my camera two years ago. Her fate is sealed, and I sure am glad that whatever she has stolen thus far would definitely not compensate for the future that she has thus lost. That's retribution for being a two-faced bitch. May she rot in the streets begging for money. Need I say more? :)

I'm back, everyone.
Hello readers, Firdaus here. I guess that I'm back after that extremely long hiatus, I am here to update during my free time but I am uncertain of any ongoing future updates. As most of you may have noticed, school has commenced! And this means that most of my post-teenage life would be spent in TP, bombarded by an endless armada of assignments and deadlines. Oh, the horror.
Basically, school has been rather entertaining and demoralizing for me. I know, contradicting right? Firstly I've met a bunch of awesome classmates who are getting along with each other very well already and every day opens a new chapter to our ever-expanding social circle. However, what demoralizes me is that from now on things won't be easy (nothing is, by default). I have to compete with a bunch of more-than or just-as-talented peers and school assignments and projects would probably eat up much of my outside social life from now on. We are currently undergoing two modules, which is Design History & Culture and Form Exploration. These classes commence at 9 am to 12 pm, and 3 pm to 6 pm respectively. The three hour break in-between? Wisely spent with my lovely coursemates... I think? Hahaha.
It's only been a week now, but I must say I've had my fair share of experience. I admit that I am extremely drained from all the rushed and last-minute work I am expected to complete and present. Yet I am still pretty much grateful that the months of endless torment I suffered back at home; bored, underachieved, unmotivated, have finally come to an end. I finally feel the touch being re-established from within me.
Here's the self-motivational boost I've been giving myself (and perhaps others) to remind them about their goals and aspirations in life.
Sure, we may spend sleepless nights rushing through piles of unfinished assignments and spamming Red Bull and perhaps Coffee to keep ourselves awake and active. We may ultimately be detached from our respective social networks to focus on our academical performances and perhaps even go through endless criticism and demoralizing moments that will bring us down. We may be struck down once, twice and go on the brink of giving up.
But remember, at the end of the day, we have made friends who would be willing to help each other get back on their feet to once again stand proud and strong. We've been there and done that so we're prepared for the challenges that lie further ahead. Most importantly, at the end of the day, we finally grasp the dream that we've been reaching out for since the time we've set foot in TP (or perhaps earlier): to become a successful Designer.
Yes, every day I wake up and tell that to myself. I am proud to be in TDS, where many have been denied opportunities to pursue an education here. That I'm one of the 'lucky few' who managed to enter even with an 'O' level aggregate deemed average. Definitely, I will not let this chance go to waste. This is the last time to prove myself. I shall not make the same mistakes I made in the past. I am a changed person. I am Firdaus. Interior Architect/Wedding Planner. (L)
