Each time I passed the Sprint Highway, this building will be an immediate landmark especially at night when the LED lights work its magic flushing vivid shades of colours on the facade. The itch to visit the place finally was satisfied with a mesmerising visit to Tropicana City Mall with Cani. The first thing which struck my attention was the double volume spaces in each floors. Food restaurants and retail outlets are of good designs. I must agree, I LOVE some of the retail designs. Damn! Those designers are lucky they got plenty of height to play around with! I think TCM will be quite a hit when it is fully open with all the 'on-the-way' tenants. Some operating retails include Body Shop, ESPRIT, FACESHOP, Nichii, Bossini and my favorite bookstore - BORDERS. :D Such a happy boy now.
The climax of the visit was the materialization of my own design! When I was doing my internship, the first project thrown to me was this retail project. To see 3D drawings bring converted to real life was really great! Though it might appear less fascinating to some people, but the joy of having your own design brought to life is just great! Such a proud boy now. The shop is Red Army Watches. Do check it out! :)
I was once again a victim of beautiful interior spaces. The pink shades in Penang Village drew me nearer and we went there for dinner. I love the environment - it's bloody red and pink! Ooo and I lophe the red sofa too! Penang Village is seriously a good dining place to consider. These are what we had.
Pumpkin Fried Rice RM12.90
Perfectly fried rice with pumpkin served in a poached pumpkin ring served with breaded prawn and acar. It's really good for a healthy hearty meal. Portion looked quite small but she was full!
Nasi Lemak Chicken Rendang RM 13.90
I swear to God this is one of the best coconut milk rice I've tasted. The rice is really fragrant and delicious! Served in a squarish mould, it is best paired with their sambal! Chicken is a little tough though but still taste nice. I love the sambal~ yum!
Soya Cendol RM3.50
Something you don't find often, a mixture of soya milk with bright green cendol and it tastes real good. A totally refreshing thrist quencher~
*I'm broke*
Tropicana City Mall
sorry, I've been away
I stared into my Studio 15 browsing through usual websites. Noticing I have not been writing anything in my blog, I barely could do anything as I was so tied with the Caroling Project, Christmas celebrations, assignments, New Year Celebration and the Music Ministry retreat in Cameron Highlands. Many happenings yet scarce time to even land my fingers on the keyboard to type a proper paragraph. Nevertheless, I'll try to find the time to share the experiences one by one.

in the midst of procrastination
We had a quite amusing presentation today after a stringent tutorial exercise marathon; whatever you guys decide to call it. Things went okay despite our structure being totally 'naturally deconstructed' when we came in the morning. For now, I'll let the picture do the talking.
*my eyes are swollen, face are oh-so-dark!*
milk and oatmeal
I am a little unsober right now. Pondered upon what I did today was just simply amazing and I felt so contented. At least I did got some leisure time for myself.. I do deserve it you know....
Weekend was the day of obligation for us Catholics as we celebrate the All Saint's and All Soul's Day. I went to mass on Saturday and I remember how the priest was telling us about the day of obligation is the day of REST. *ya right!* I barely could even have the time to sit down and breathe that time as there was so many things to rush for the Interim Crit session. And the fact that one sheet of presentation board took me 2 hours to complete really irritated the hell out of me! I completed everything at 12am on Sunday when my housemates were all hungry and craving for KFC. So, against all diet rules and regulations, I went to KFC and had a dinner plate! It was so SINFUL but I deserved every bit of pamper at that moment and I really didn't care about getting fat! *skip skip skip*
I woke up today feeling all so sober and nice, knowing that I completed almost all of the requirements when suddenly my mind was telling me I missed something. It was figurating in my mind and the image which was playing in the dark that moment just struck me awake and I quickly went to draw and wrote out what I was thinking in my pre-awaken state. As I was having my daily dosage of cereal, fruit and milk, I continued writing and sketching to add up to the already-satisfying boards I did last night. All the procrastinating and chit chatting led me to college right at the nick of time - minutes before 1pm.
I was to present last. *how boring* The Crit started at about 1.30 and I started my presentation at about 4-ish. It was quite okay but I choked a lil' while trying to summarize; ended up reading exactly what I wrote on the boards. I realised I did quite a lot and I am liking the progress and the decisions I made. Just a share of thought, my concept for my final project is 'Anatomy Contortion'. And YES! I've taken this concept and no one's taking it away from me! :P
The sky decided to shower right before the presentation ended and it was quite a heavy one. I got into the car with my back and hair partially wet - was I that quick of a runner? I picked Valerie up to TESCO for some grocery shopping and a quality leisure outing together. I bought quite a lot of stuff, especially milk as it was so cheap! Thus, my shopping list was completed! - greens, eggs, ham, mushrooms, macaroni, milk, raisins bran and more milk. I need to continue eating healthy as I felt the difference since I changed my eating habit. *big flashy smile! :D*
After grocery shopping, we went to The Curve for a light dinner. I went to BORDERS first for my monthly dosage of magazines. For dinner, I picked O' Briens as I'd not been there for quite some time and I am craving for the Hot Choc. So we ordered a sandwich each and Val ordered mushroom soup which tasted quite good! Then, we walked to Ikano for some on-the-shopping-list stuff. Val was too tired by then and we decided to go home. It was 9pm.
I reached home feeling so contented and happy that I did not waste a minute today. However, I felt so tired that I took a so-called nap which lasted till midnight and here I am! I need to start enjoying life I think, like what I did today. I feel so much relaxed and happier; apart from the gruelling assignments which might be quite lethal nowadays. I'm writing quite a lot at this point of time. I'm being whiny right? But it's satisfaction for me. Noticing that no one gives comments or feedbacks, I assumed no one actually reads my blog aye? So I'll just have my syok-sendiri sessions by myself~
*Abba Father, bless my friends with good health, that all their suffering and pain be offer up to you Lord, and you give them the strength and perseverence to stay strong and fight the pain. I pray that you lift up their spirit and not lose faith in you O Lord... Amen*
just let go
....Munching a wheat bun with coarse peanut butter filling is heavenly when your stomach is grouching for food...
Catherine came to SFX to get Daryl boy's toy he left while he visited me here almost a year ago. Dealing with health products, Catherine was kind enough to let me try a special tea which boosts immune and metabolism. She knew I kept falling ill and complaining about headaches and stuff. I was indeed grateful! The thing which attracts me was the ingredients of the tea, namely green tea, lemon and hibiscus. I took a sip and it tasted quite weird at first but after a while, it's actually quite refreshing! This drink miraculously kept me awake without a yawn until now! (1.00am) and I felt hungry; yes I mean real hungry! :P
I felt so stressed up due to several problems which occurs concurrently and I'm beginning to freak out and started to break down. However, I felt blest God send me Patrik who made me feel so much better with his noble help! I felt really good after he obliged to help me out. I'm done doing precedence studies. I have all the information needed and I just need to translate everything on the final presentation sheet! I hope that I could finish half by tomorrow which would be brilliant! At least I let go of my burdens and felt so much better and could concentrate.
I thought yesterday's dance and singing session would help me release some stress but it was just short-lived. I'll pray harder! I am really tired of going to college everyday. It's such a waste of time especially during waitings! urgh! Okay, shall not whine anymore. Don't wanna be tagged the whiniest! Shall head to bed and work my ass of for 3 days! Good luck guys!
*it's 31st tomorrow! But no ice cream for me~ :(*
it's yellow
I woke up by the beeping sound of my cellphone. Having 8 hours of sleep was just sufficient to get me out of bed and get the day kickin'! I looked myself in the mirror pondering about how yesterday had been so productive yet filled with oh-so-many downs than up. Knowing that it's all over now, I grinned and thank the Almighty for the beautiful heaven sent companions He bestowed me with.
"I'll pray for my friends"; was the phrase I wrote in my MSN. I realised that I'd been very busy this whole week and kept pushing myself into doing readings, writings, sketching and stuff. And yes, I'm such a whiner that I fretted about everything from A-Z about how assignments were killing me and how my time was so insufficient I barely had enough sleep. Well, here I am enjoying a big bowl of cereal topped with a mountain of mangoes and bananas trying to digest all the problems I was shared with yesterday.
Abba Father,
I pray that you help those who are worrisome, that their souls will be in peace and to have a more collected mind to face the day. I pray for those who are broken-hearted, that you plant a seed of love in them and make them realise that life doesn't revolves within one person or one particular issue. I pray for the sick, that their illness would be lifted up to you O Lord and that you take away their sufferings. I pray for the lost and found, that you give them strength to solidify their faith in you. I pray for myself O Lord, that you grant me peace of mind to be at most productive to square off all hurdles in my daily life!
I thank You Lord for the gift of persons, that You bless every single one of them.
Amen
*feeling contented*
Food cravings
My housemates went for JOGOYA!! and I can't join them as I have band practice for mass this weekend! I'm officially oh-so-busy~ With two huge submissions not far from sight, there are so many things to consider and decide. Honestly, it is giving me headaches every night and morning. Thus, to calm myself down, I made myself a hearty dinner to treat myself for being such a good boy last weekend! I made black pepper chicken stew with potatoes sided with garden salad. *yum yum* Oh! I had ham sandwich with scramble eggs for lunch though...
That sinful bites wasn't the end of my meal of the day. After band practice, the band members decided to go for mamak. Hell yea it's a cool mamak! They only serve rice dishes! URGH! So, cravings over discipline, I ordered Nasi Goreng Pattani. Urgh! That guilt of eating is so into me right now. Gotta take less calories tomorrow. *so bimbo right? he he he*
And these pictures just remind me of more cravings I am having right now.. hot chocolate.. Swensen's burger... Control! *mind's gonna blow*
I miss the hot choc in O' Briens...
And the chicken burger..^#%&*$^tears of joy?
Today's celebrations were in two contrasting colours.
I started my day today in church singing for Max and Andrea's holy matrimony. It was beautiful witnessing the couple blessed by God's presence and being called up by God to be together in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. And to be part of the joyful celebration was just priceless. After the wedding mass, we were treated with a meaty galore buffet! Platter of ham, roasted pork, roast chicken, fish, prawns, yong tau foo; anything to make me salivate and overeat! I had my meal to the fullest and had a great time dancing and singing with the crowd. As we were eating, we're serenaded by a 60-something man who sang beautiful numbers mesmerizingly! It brought back memoirs as the songs he sang were songs of the 60s, 70s and the 80s. It was almost 4 when I went back with Amelia and Adeline to get myself changed and have a good rest before mass starts.
Mass was fine today minus the fact that I was late. I drove halfway to church to remember that I forgot to pick Christine and Jonathan up from their place. Urgh! Eventually, I had to make a U-turn back and was late. Regardless, it was so warm and nice giving and receiving hugs from church members as a sign of peace.
During dinner, we got a message from Cannis saying his mom passed on in the afternoon. The whole feeling turned sombre and it was pretty sad to hear that. So we decided to cut short the caroling practice and attend the wake @ the funeral parlour. We sang a song and recited the rosary. However, the dead's husband was joyfully jugging into his cans of beer. Regardless, it was obvious that the sadness in the eyes will betray a person's smile.
Condolences to the Rozario family~
Today I learnt one thing. Marriage is a start of a total new life which will end in death. As the saying goes '...till death do us part...', I believe that the death of a spouse is the beginning of another 'new life'. It's definitely not an easy task... wonder will mine be... ?
*tiba tiba emo duno for what!*
It's not by purpose
It had been a high and low month.
I would say many left their blog not updated for many many days.. Crazy week has been so crazy, I barely have time for myself and in addition to that, I have music practices, band practices, singing in the weddings and other church activities to get myself busy and work my days wholesome. I'm not complaining so please don't get me wrong.
I'm still busy. (in the midst of writing the dissertation with a writers block) I still will be busy. This blog lost its priority.
Looking on a brighter side, raisinsandrum.blogspot.com will undergo serious content refurbishment! :) Be sure to stay tune.. Aite? he he..
*let's finish my series before continuing the dissertation*
p/s : Happy Birthday Shu Yin! :)
I love being back!
Hell ya! I'm back and kickin'
but sorry la.. update later okay? now sorting things up~ :P

I added another star to my portfolio.. The materialisation of your hardwork if just plan satisfying.. I'm just on cloud nine looking at the product.. Overall, I think I did a good job..
Oh.. today's something new for me.. I was on duty as a beauty shoot photographer.. LOL.. and it's not for models or customers of that cosmetic store but for the media representatives.. It's nice meeting the people behind Her World, Sisters Magazine, Female Magazine, The Star and other people from the press and learn how an interview process and a launching of a new brand is being carried out.. It's all about building contacts.. exchanging namecards and making new connections.. I myself did caught a few tips observing how people talk and introduce their products.. But in the end of the day.. it's all about making people happy with their beauty shot..
Was supposed to watch The Mummy Returned with colleagues and boss but two of the girls were ill and we canceled the plan.. so sad.. Friday night's empty now.. how sad.. I treated myself with a Gold Medal Meal.. :) Oh.. I got a goodie bag too! and it's full of cosmetics.. LOL..
*I am really missing someone*
I am wide awake
I can't sleep... for some bloody reason, I can't sleep...
Back from my Hatyai trip.. I'm really exhausted and all drained out due to the stupid 14-hour-bus-trip back from Hatyai to Malacca.. Then another 2 hours of driving all by myself from Malacca to PJ.. Anyway, I'm back to White Board Studio.. And yay! so many things piled up just for me~ But boss was great.. let us off early.. Gonna be so busy doing finishin touches for this house.. then prepare the Hitachi setup thingy.. then gonna attend this event representing the company.. aiyo.. so banyak things to do.. but that's it for this week.. Can't believe it's already approachin August! That means one more month to go to finish off Mr. Leong's work! oh no!!! I'm so so so not prepared! haha.. haven't touch a thing yet! Anyone to second this statement?
Oh!! My roomie's attached to my housie! aiyo.. Got a shock! Coz wasn't expecting it at this time.. and I was the last one to know! felt so stupid! heish! Feel bit weird but.. right... I'll get used to the lovey doveys.. hahaha..

*I'm still shocked!*
honeycomb and syrup
I feel so sleepy even though I slept so well these two days.. Hm... weekend was a sweetheart~ Spent time at home.. meeting up friends..
Had dinner with Bryan and Adrian at Rumahku.. just beside SFX... The place so nice~ food's good too~ and Bryan was so excited with the service bell.. He can't wait to ring the thing so hard when we asked for the bill~ Halfway through our conversation.. I was so geram.. I grabbed the bell and ring it so hard! Gosh!! then the waitress came and ask.. "YES?" By that time we already annoyed her so badly.. "er...Do you have sambal?.. Thanks!" *nice cover-up?*
Huhu.. Watched Dark Knight today at OU.. It was really nice.. Despite the bloody long queues, company and movie was awesome.. Oh! I saw Mr. Soong with his girlfriend~ haha.. Hm.. Guess that someone can still bear the "long-gas-ness" of his.. hm...
I've nothing much to blog about these days due to work.. been exercising my eyes a lot looking at computer screen and lines and boxes and dots.. hmm.. gotta continue with the HITACHI design and proceed with the detail drawings unless that oh-so-damn-smart lady decides to change the design AGAIN! Already change this and that 4 times la!! Tolong la Ms Hitachi.. stop being so fickle minded!! ~like me~
Oh did I tell you? there's a piano in my house now!
*oh! let me remind you that I'm a banana~ I can't read chinese~ @.@*
i'm so tired...
I wanted to complain so badly about how harsh today was.. but deep inside.. there's a really terrific feeling resounding....
Let's see.. We went site measurement for almost 3 hours.. a freaking huge big ass house~ 3 storey and dang! the beams and double volumes are so killing me! My back and neck aches kept looking and measuring vertical lengths.. And the best part is I'm so vertically challenge, I need the extra foot of the measuring tape to reach a certain angle! argh! and the measure tape! my God! I think it's barren.. it might be GAY! It's so lembik... Cant stay straight nicely.. hmm~ Mr Measuring Tape's Mandul!!
Went lunch after all the measuring and figures! I hate numbers! but not green notes! :P Had lunch in Central Cafe nearby the office.. I think it's quite a nice place.. but the food is a turn down.. Prob we ordered the wrong thing.. Anyways.. resumed work about 4 something in the office.. And 5 minutes doing the detail drawings.. my eyes started tearing.. I swear I HATE AutoCAD and I don't like doing working drawing.. I can stay all day doing 3dMAX or and 3d drawings but please not AutoCAD! erghh..
Boss came back and told me to do immediate amendments on the Hitachi Display Stand.. *YAY* So so happy! I can stay away from AutoCAD.. Did changes and redesigning 5 different stands for the Hitachi's new product - Ultra Thin LCD.. World's slimmest TV.. haha.. 3.5cm (1.5in) very slim but darn heavy.. it's 20kg with stand.. hmm.. I enjoyed designing all these in 3dMAX.. I finished the first 4 designs.. My boss came telling me.. "You should be proud.. This design of yours will be mass produced and distributed all over Malaysia.. The first one will be launched in JW Marriot next Thursday.. They are producing 50 of these.." cheh.. I'm damn bangga... Left office at 12.00 am
*so sleepy and oh-so-abso-goddamn-lutely bangga*
rainbows and gum drops
It's been a very wonderful week... Despite being really tied up to work and new projects...
Thoroughly, I've spent maximum time at work... generous time with my close buddies.. You know.. normal things friends do.. hang out.. yam cha.. do lunch.. chit chat... But I've not been spending enough time with my housemates.. At most times, they are always either sleeping when I'm home or they are out studying when I'm back home.. And when they're home.. I'm already asleep.. and when I'm awake.. they left the house already.. HaHa...
Went One Utama alone just now for some shopping.. Need to get some necessity.. I sometimes felt I'm SO SMART!.. I got a belt.. was very fickle-minded over a GREEN belt or a brown one.. haha.. In the end.. I got myself the brown one.. and the SMARTEST thing was I measure the length of the belt.. BUT I forgot about the holes!! Now I've to figure out how to make the holes so that I can use the belt nicely..~ haihz.. so SMART! Had lunch with Adrian just now in One Utama.. So full now! :P And I went to see Elvin's work being exhibited in One Utama for the PAM student's work exhibition thingy.. HahA.. was so impressed with the Taylor College's Booth and some artwork.. Took some pictures to get inspiration..
Talking about work.. I really need new ideas and inspiration to design people's bedrooms and living rooms.. I'm currently working on my 3rd project.. a 4 storey semi-D-cum-bungalow.. Am in charge of the master bedroom and the kid's rooms.. hmm.. I think I need ZiZi to be my color guru! haha... I'm so not good in mixin' and matchin' colors.. hmm.. Probably I should get more magazines..
*Off to church now*

Let Me Console Myself Ok?
I came back from Penang on Sunday night.. It was a really great journey.. we stopped by Taiping.. ventured into the old town.. Taiping is really a great place! nice food.. recreational area there is huge! it's like the heart of the town that keeps the city alive.. Hmm.. air there is so much fresher and less humid.. love it!
Penang was pleasant too.. Stayed in Aunt Paulette's place and I felt so blessed! Good food, good stay, good hospitality.. Aunty Paulette's a great host! Shalyn's a great driver too! ha ha.. The tourney I went to this year was fine.. just fine~ Main reason is coz I didn't win anything! not even the lucky draw! so unlucky~ Shalyn got a pendrive.. Aunty Yeap got herself a MP3 player.. Vannitha won herself a MP3 player too and it's green! eerghh! (jealous).. The tourney were tough for me though.. here's how it went..
First day was horrendous.. I lost 3 games in a row.. I lost composure meeting Alastair Richards and Seshi Ramanathan (both much higher rated than I am).. Lost to Sue-Jane.. mistake and unlucky tiles! last game before Day 1 ended gave me a lil' hope.. I thrashed Chow Xin Wei by more than 200 points spread to cover up for the 3 game damage..!
Day 1 ended - I was bottom 5!
Second day was better.. Like any other tourney.. I always do better on the second day.. I won 7 out of 11 games.. I lost to current World Champ - Nigel Richards by 102 spread, US No. 1 player - Jason Katz Brown (he's only 21) by 82 spread, Singapore Grand Master - Tony Sim by 108 spread and Malaysian No.10 - Ramaraj by 41 spread. Not that bad aye.. Considering how bad I am! However.. looking on the brighter side.. I beat Bob Jackman - 2 times Australia National Champion and WSC representative for the Aussie team, John Lam - Malaysia representative to WSC Kuala Lumpur in 2003, Micheal Tang - Singapore big gun, and several others.. not too bad la.. :)
Day 2 ended - I was 13th I think...
Third day was a lil's depressing.. I don't know why I kept meeting strong players.. I met Jocelyn and lost, then Alastair and I lost! both are higher rated than I am.. indeed they are better than me! hmm.. Then I met Shalyn.. that game was actually hers.. I was trailing all the way and manage to trick her to win by a mere 13 spread! I set a trap up... with LIRI which doesn't takes an 'S'.. knowing that she had 2 'S' and hoping that she'll put the 'S' behind LIRI to play the DoubleWord (DW).. My heart was gleeing when she played SWANS hooking to LIRIS.. kept quiet and when she pressed the clock! BAM! I challenged it off! and finished with DRENT (she challenged the word) it's either do or die! but yay.. I won that game and met Uncle Jin Chor pulak! so frus! kept meeting tough players.. but I was really lucky in that game with Uncle JinChor.. Managed to play several bingoes.. and won comfortably (458 - 314). Last game I played another strong U-18 player - Beng Way.. Okay.. I admit I am a sore loser.. I was so angry when he made a bingo and kept scoring so much.. he played UNROBED(76) , HAPAX(67) , and BOTTE(35) and already ahead of me by 80 points.. I just couldn't catch up after the 3rd play.. and lost it totally.. Although I have both the blanks.. Whatever la..
Day 3 saw me missing top 20 just by that bit! I was placed 21st out of 50 players.. how sad! heish! but I must admit it was a tough field.. and my ratings went up! yay!
Okay.. his might be a boring post for non-scrabblers.. here's some nice words I played and I saw during the tourney.. WOBEGONE, ECURIE, HAPAX, TANRECS, ZORILLE, COHOG. TYIYN. TWADDLES, PINYIN, VIRULENT, SKIWEAR, FREITIER, WHOOPSIE, MANTOES, ZEBRASS and VAGRANTS.. gonna study the words now.. planning to complete 6000prob before MENSA tourney.. :)
*anyone wanna play scrabble?*
