I got a problem and I don't know what to do about it, even if I did I don't know if I will quit but I doubt it, I'm taken by the thought of it.

Currently listening to Ne-yo's Because of You


My travelling wallet was abandoned til last week.
Cuz finally I get to fly to the Borneo! Okay can tick that off my bucket list. I know, I am proud to be Malaysian, but so not proud of the fact that I've never been to certain places in Malaysia like Sabah, Sarawak, Kelantan & Terengganu. Boo Hoo.

Anyway let's save the KK journey for next time shall we? Back to my story...

While waiting for boarding time, I was going through that travel wallet. I forgot that I've been keeping some of my 'memories' there; like flight tickets, movie tickets, theater tickets, rugby tickets, concert tickets, my EFTPOS, my stamp cards for bubble teas, smoothies and coffees (or in my case is chocolate - I'm more of a chocolate person), some 'butterflies' from the Coldplay concert... pretty much it sums up the things I did when I was in NZ.

So I was excited and all the memories kept on rushing back in. Feels like I traveled thru time for a bit.

And my mom, being the mother started to point out how I can strive better in Uni if I don't play around too much. I agree with her. I mean c'mon, I know I can do better, definitely. If I pay attention more and if I put more passion into it. To me I've tried working hard for it, but I admit that I lack of passion when it comes to things I study back in Uni.

I paused for awhile. Then I realised something else. And I told her one thing

"Well Ibu, for me it was time well spent."

 I don't know. I know that I could've done better at Uni cuz I was this one annoying ambitious freak.

But I never regret how I spend my time over there. All these memories I have.

They're my most prized possessions when I'm living in NZ.

And to this date, I feel so blessed to graduate within my expected time to graduate. heh.

Alhamdulillah.

Next week is graduation week again. So I'm feeling more nostalgic than ever. Have I talked about stuff we do on the graduation week back in 2008? I can't recall. If I haven't maybe I will :)

Free your mind, and the rest will follow. Be colourblind, don't be so shallow.

Currently listening to the Glee Cast version of Stop in the Name of Love/Free Your Mind

My fave out of the songs in the episodes. Love everything about this mash-up. Teenage Dream is also another great one. To be honest, I never thought Teenage Dream is a song that I will put on repeat. Until Glee made a cover of it. I don't know, to see a bunch of smart looking school boys performing it? I can't stop listening to it eversince. LOL. I know, I sounded like a pedophile or something. Its their voices that I like the most about the song, then the performance. Men singing a woman's song really did change my perspective towards a song. It meant something more.

Okay, its not about the song that I wanted to talk about. Its just that I went through some tagged photos on facebook (I am still wondering why I don't take many photos this year) so I stumbled upon years in Vic's photos. I am yet to open an album on my memories in NZ. Will do that, but I don't know when :P I found this:

from our session in the photo booth

This photo actually makes me wonder; how many of us can actually fit in that photo booth? Okay in that photo there's 10 of us. Although we didn't really get everyone's full faces, but still I think this is good enough. Enough to make me go "wow... TEN OF US?" and the boys aren't petite types okay. Qilah, Ain and Ellin are not short/petite like me. They're all tall.

I miss the times we go on photo booth. Definitely we'll go crazy; cuz it'll take time for all of us to get ready and when the 3 seconds countdown starts we got panicked. And then after the shots, we have to pick the 4 best photos, and you can imagine how all 10 of us can get to a decision in such a short time when there's like 8-10 photos to choose. Even if there's 3 of us we'll be like "nak yang ni" "ehh tanaklaa muka i x cool a dalam ni" "ish dah tu yang mana?" "ehhh cepat masa nak habis dahhh!"

So we end up just click click click. And voila! 4 photos.

Then comes another gelabah part - to decorate the photos.

Usually there'll be one photo we'll keep without any editing - we like it raw like that. But the rest? Another chaotic situation. Haha.

But seriously, those were the fun parts of taking sticker photos; we can't expect whats coming out, and given;the short period of time we have to make nice photos so everyone will be happy. We don't really use the photo stickers - nowadays we just put them up on fb. I used to put up these sticker photos on my laptop, but then I had to give away my laptop so? My cuzzen actually gets to keep my photos. LOL.

That's the reason why I like Lomography, or instant photos, like Polaroid. The fun comes when we don't know whats coming out from the shots. We just, have faith, and snap. Don't get wrong, I like digital cams as well. But I like old school. My dream is to also own a SLR, and have a dark room for myself. haha. Dreams.

Now I am thinking of buying another lomo cam - maybe a Diana. Most likely will buy the pre-loved one, well I know the owner keeps his stuff well so yeah, let's hope he's still keeping this for me LOL. Still haven't got the chance - always tight on budget *sigh*. This problem goes a long way so maybe one day I'll blog about it.

I miss them. The ones on the photo. I haven't seen those "Maybank dudes" for months, and the same for Mika, Ellin, Qilah & Ain. Well, I miss Welly peeps:

 

 

Taken from fb tagged photos - TQ Photogs ;)



I have more to post, but I think its better if I open an album quick. LOL.
