Dolce Vita ♥

Hello my good people. It is the time of the year again where I consolidate my shitty year. Ok lah, it's not that bad I guess. I still had some good memories, met some new friends, tried out some new things hehe. #1 Lost my phone  First shitty thing that happened to me was that I lost my phone, which was only a year plus old. Sigh. I accidentally left it on the cafeteria table and 5 minutes later it was gone. Tragic, I know. #2  Back on the Courts Workshop Impromptu tennis session at UM This is something I'm super proud of myself for doing because I couldn't get my lazy ass on those courts for at least 2 years. And this made me meet more new people, which up till now, I am utterly grateful for. Thank you John  for approaching me when I was just getting warmed up and creating a platform for me to continue playing this sport I love so dearly. And also introducing me to a bunch of sohais whom definitely made my year so much better. I'm glad that tenn...

Huehuehue it's me again. I must say that this must be one of my most productive sembreaks I've had. Let's just skip the part where I had been tortured by countless amount of notes to digest and trying to vomit everything I crammed into my head the day after. Yeah, let's just skip that. *shivers* I had a day of rest right after my finals before I headed to Cameron Highlands with my SAC Com. So I spent almost the whole day trying to finish off Parts 1 and 2 of my OBU Project. Oh right, yes, my mentor, being the hardworking person he is, had already called for our first meeting before our finals. I asked around and it seems that other mentors haven't even started hahaha. But that's good, because it may be possible for us to finish the project even before the new semester starts, which means we have a heads off compared to the rest of our peers. There isn't a good reason why I wanted to finish it in one day; it's just because I am kiasu HAHAHAHA. Yeah, I...

It's been almost 6 months since it happened. Yes. We broke up. Not every perfect relationship in people's eyes will end up in the best way. I wanted to blog about it but wanted to settle my emotions first before making any rash decisions such as lashing out on anyone innocent or writing out any temporary words which might cause a permanent scar. How do I start? I think the most frequently asked question would be: "Are you okay?" After almost half a year, I can confidently say that I'm really fine now. I feel lighter now. The emotional burden compared to back then is almost lifted away completely already. It was something I didn't expect to happen, but it did. I guess I wish I'd be more ready to accept it, then maybe I wouldn't be in such a mental turmoil. I went through a range of emotions; I was depressed, angry and disappointed. I limited myself into this dark abyss clouded by only negativity. Long story short, I almost lost myself. I wasn...

I just read someone's blog regarding their "experience" with depression. Now I have absolutely no right to judge whether or not someone is having depression or not but by seeing that blog post even a blind man can tell that THAT isn't depression. It hurts to see how many people taking depression ever so lightly. What is depression exactly? I don't know for sure but I definitely know depression isn't a one-off thing that happens once or twice. It actually happens throughout. I wonder how most people perceive depression as nowadays. It's definitely not something to joke around with. Most people say they have depression just because of that one incident that happened. I was unhappy with that blog post because that particular person wrote as if doing something that will distract you will cure depression. It won't. Curing depression takes time. Depression doesn't happen in a day and it doesn't get cured in a day as well. People who have real d...

This is not a post on how to design, but rather what to expect when you start doing design work for people rather than yourself. For example, a University club. So yes. This is basically what I've learnt so far from joining TEDxSunwayUniversity and maybe SAC too...? When I first saw the promotion poster, I merely joined just for fun. They asked me to design something and after countless changes I gave up. I said no, I'm not joining the club anymore because it's too draining, but that was because at that time I was busy with other priorities as well. The president persuaded me so I stayed. Here are the things I learnt:  1. No one is going to be satisfied with your first draft.  Yep. No matter how satisfied you are with your own design, once it's handed in, there is bound to be comments. LOTS of comments. Simple things from "Oh make it centralized thanks" to harsh comments like "Why is there a brain there? Remove it." It can be very daunting a...

Hello. I've been MIA for a whole month hahaha I'm so sorry. Recent updates: Finished TEDx poster, Sports Day poster and sold tonnes of coupons for Charity Drive (okay not tonnes but still) and got recruited into the Tennis Club while I was getting back my momentum on court one day (selections for the team is due in 2 weeks' time). PT1 is due next week and I really have no idea how I'm going to face it. For now I have zero confidence for all three subjects and basically I'm sending myself to hell hahahahaha. *big breaths* But I'm just going to try anyway. Anyway, the reason that triggered me into typing this is this one motherfucker who put me down. I'm not going to type the whole conversation but in short he made a statement like this "Why do you look way different than her?" which implies that I don't look as good as her (someone who has the same name as me). He wasn't even joking lol. First of all, dude, I just knew you less than a...

Second week of classes just ended and phew, doomsday is just tomorrow. Yes you guessed it. It's Result Day! T_T BREATHE CELINE BREATHE. It feels the same as last semester though; that uneasy feeling where you're unsure whether or not I'm able to pass all papers. Sigh. Now worry also useless lah I know, but then I still want to get ready for the worst right? UPDATE: I passed hahahaha. 79 for Law, 65 for Performance Management and 79 for Taxation. Yay yay yay!!  Okay, let's put that aside. This week I managed to be quite productive (of course not related to books HAHAHA). I managed to sort out the SAC T-Shirt work and put up a poll for the designs I selected for the members to vote. Well I hope the designs weren't that disappointing. Hopefully we'd be able to get it done before Charity Drive so that we can all wear it. Which brings me to my next work for Charity Drive. I think teamwork is really really essential if we want to bring out the best in ourselve...

I can't believe I'm writing this on my 300th post haih. Hello hello. I started classes on Wednesday. My lecturers this semester are: F7: Ms Fei Ling F8: Ms Kiran F9: Mr Michael Overall I'm pretty satisfied with these lecturers. I have been under Ms Fei Ling so I'm used to her way. Ms Kiran makes the whole class more vibrant therefore having the feeling of falling asleep in class is rare compared to FAU last year hahahah. She teaches in a way that she makes sure we understand the concepts behind rather than blindly teaching. Mr Michael is hilarious. He hasn't really started teaching us yet but I'm sure he's okay. Classes and all were great, until Friday came. It was 9:20am when me, JY, Kevin and Jeremy went down to the cafeteria for break. I bought my food and drink and sat down on the table, and because my skirt didn't have pockets, I placed my handphone on the table. When we left, I forgot about taking my phone (I know, I'm so careless T...

Hello it's me again. Yes, purposely rushing to get to the 299th post to end my 2015 hehe. (Lol okay that isn't relevant anymore as it's 2016 already. Didn't manage to finish this post because I was out last year [ahahahha that pun]) Let's do some reflections this year shall we? 1. Helped with my first college event - SAC Charity Drive It was pretty amazing, but definitely tiring. What's tiring isn't the selling, but the preparation itself. Now that I'm officially in SAC, I'll put whatever lessons I learnt from this year into good use for next year's event! SAC was awesome enough to have given me opportunities to design some posters; some made the cut, some didn't, a good learning opportunity all the same. Here are some of my designs: This took way too long to finalize hahaha I have at least 15 different documents just for this design. Glad it made it. This didn't make the cut. I was a bit disappointed but it's o...
