My thesis journey

Every time I start thinking about "you", I get overwhelmed by stress and run away again...
It's like standing at the top edge of a 100 flight of stairs and looking down,
I think about the possibility of me rolling down and falling the moment I take my first step,
So I backed away again.

I know I'm temporarily  just running away from my problem but it's not gonna make the stress go away.
Therefore I've decided to take things one step at a time,
and knowing that at times when I don't have any control over the things I want or don't want to happen, I'll leave everything to God.

~Writing about it is easy but I have to convince myself to take that first move. ~
 All I need to do is to run with all my strength and might for the next 12 days....

Top 5 activities for my weekend

5. Finish 2 assignments due next week & start studying.

4.Go shopping for Bohemian Cafe decoration materials

3. I'm gonna start a "coloured-themed" photograph compilation/collage (it's time to cultivate a habit of bringing my camera everywhere)

2. A cup of Green Tea Frappucino while studying.. I need some Frapp soon!

1. Art for Grabs - Checking out the art & craft products by local artists or crafters to get inspiration and be amazed. Also gonna take a look at their alternative books.

Bohemian Cafe (University Live!)

I'm part of the organizing team for an event called Bohemian Cafe. This event aims to bring together musicians, poets, singers, photographers, designers, crafters, painters, etc. to showcase and share their artworks in a Bohemian setting. Audiences will be seated in a candelight setting with cushions, sofas, coffee tables, served with coffee & pastry while they enjoy the different performances. We want everyone to learn to appreciate the arts without standards nor judgements. By the way, this is the first time an event like this is going to happen at HELP.

So first things first, what's an event without recruitment and promotions? We set up a booth in University Live! a clubs and society day at HELP University College, to recruit performers and artwork displayers. Our response was not bad, looks like we're gonna have the whole venue filled with performers and audiences. =) 

The organizing team 

(yes, there are only 4 of us) ^^

The crowd filling up the hall & the eager students asking about Bohemian Cafe.

phew, finally some space to take a picture of our booth. Thank God the booth is still in tact despite the crowd before that.

Our Celtic signboard made by Abigail. totally love it! 

Yippee! We won the best booth award from HELP!

Overall, we're quite happy with the response from our friends, fellow tutors & lecturers.. ;) Looking forward for the actual day.. 

Here are the following details of the event:

Date: 22 June 2011

Time: 12.00pm- 2.00pm

Venue: HELP University College, Wisma HELP, Jalan Dungun, Pusat Bandar Damansara. (Level 5, Tutorial Room)

Motivation

Life had been quite hectic this month. Here's a few things i wanna remind myself to look forward to:

1. Psychology of Film- Short film screening
2. My 22nd Birthday
3. mom's coming to kl
4. Visiting the Lamorenas in Johor
5. May Break!
6. Believe it or not, Thesis 2... ^^


Signing out to get back to more assignments.. sigh =/



In the end, I can't blame you for what happened. All I can remind myself is that it is a sign from God and I asked for it.

Dress Hunting

I went dress hunting for my annual ball to get some inspirations on what type of dress i would like =)

1. Etsy by Salvagelife

This is my favourite! I absolutely love the colour and V-neck AND the ribbon, okay the whole dress.. haha =D

2. Etsy by goldenaftrnoon

3. Modcloth

This is my favourite too! I might see whether they have something like this in M'sia.

4. Burberry Prorsum

5. Etsy by Salvagelife

6. forgot where i got this =) but i really love the design except for the colour.

7. Ho.Lang Boutique

I love the first and the last. However, i don't think a fitted dress will flatter my figure... Need to tone up in 3 months! =P (btw, Ho.Lang boutique is Malaysian! Go check them out at 0107 Somerset Seri Bukit Celyon, Lorong Celyon 50250 KL)

Check out www.modcloth.com if you L-O-V-E vintage designs. They have lots of it! ;)

Bpsych Annual Ball 2010

I've been attending Bpsych's annual ball for the last 2 years and I actually told myself last year that I won't attend this year's ball, and save it for the last year + graduation dinner.. BUT, I can't resist it! They're having it at Renaissance this year! Fyi, bpsych had been having their ball venue at Sime Darby for all i know. Many people had been complaining about it, but seriously, I had no complains.. I only go there for the fun and people, not really because of the venue or food. However, a nicer place would make no harm right? How can I not be included in this change in Bpsych annual ball history?  That's why, i'm definitely going this year... haha =D

A Coffee Tale

It makes me think of vintagy stuffs.. haha =D So the theme seems kinda vague, unlike last year's "Masquerade"... I was thinking of getting a dress that's not of the ordinary LBD. I can imagine a dress with  vintage cuttings.. Something with sleeves (not the puffy type of course), lace or off-shoulder dress, wouldn't it be so Audrey Hepburn? ;)

At the mean time, more reasons for shopping! Checklist: dress, accessories, heels... etc. dinner bag- i've got the perfect one for any vintage dress. ^__^
