My teenage years...

Are almost at an end..
As of today, I'm one year away from not being a teenager... Depressing right?
I wonder how my dad feels now that he's one year away from being half a century old xD

Hahahah but this is not gonna be an emo post!!

This is the time where I reflect upon my life and say once again:

If I had a time machine I wouldn't change even a second of my life :)

I know there will be some haters saying - oh Ben, you're so in denial, how can your life be so perfect?

Well, I know nothing can be perfect, but whatever I've done whether its right or wrong, i can honestly say that I have no regrets doing it. I'm happy the right things happened and I'm happy I've learnt from my mistakes.

I can safely say my life is close to perfect. And i'll tell you why in a life of "Things Ben is Grateful For"

1) I have a loving family, my dad, mom and brother. True, we've been through a lot of hardships along the way, but all that arguing debating and stabbing fighting has made us create an even stronger bond as a family :)


2) I have the most awesome friends the world has ever seen. They would take a bullet for me... But not run to the fridge to get me a drink :(
Hahah, kidding, I have the most awesome friends la, I know I'm repeating this but I cannot stress this enough. Without my friends, I don't think I'll be here today.
From the awesome people I've known since standard 2, standard 3, standard 5, from 1, form 3 or the people I've met along the way, all the way up to the friends I've gained this year and the last, I'll treasure you guys for the rest of my life :)
Every single one of you have influence or shaped my life in one way or another. Some have more impact than the rest, but every one HAD an impact on my life :)
Whether you guys are reading this or not (you know who you are ;) ) I thank you from the bottom of my heart  <3
 (too many of you for me to post pictures, if I do, this post will be 4 websites long xD)

3) I'm doing the course I have a passion for, and soon be doing my passion as a job hobby. Heck, the reason why I changed it from job to hobby is because its gonna seem like that for me because I love what I'm doing. I'm going to do my best because my parents already let me enter the course I wanted to and I'm grateful for that.


4) I have a car. True, its not a Ferrari or a Lamborghini, but at least its a CLK :)
A Cute Little Kancil. ;)  At least this little bugger gets me from A to B without the hassle of waiting for the bus or waiting for my parents to pick me up. I feel good sitting in my air conditioned car (fix d k? blowing cold air liao :P) and watching people on motorcycles go by.

5) I have a roof over my head, and food on the table. Sometimes the most basic of necessities are overlooked. My house may not be the biggest house on the block, but it's where I call home. Not some rented apartment or a hostel. And even though I don't eat caviar or smoked salmon every single day, I am grateful for the food my mom put on the table... Eventhough its oily and fatty and contradicting with my PROJECT REDANG!! Lol, no la, I'm still grateful. :)

Basically I'm grateful for how my life has gone by. I don't regret a single thing that I've done. And in a nut shell,  isn't that what everyone aims for? Living a life without regrets :)

So I wanna ask you guys now...

What are you most grateful for? :)

<3

P.S. Happy happy birthday to me :)

P.P.S Happy birthday, daddy :)

Yea, i know, he shares the same birthday as me :)
Can you imagine the greatest present he got was a full 19 years ago? xD
And the most costly :P

Semester Break...

Is finally here and I get to update my blog. Wheeee~~!! Just because of that I'm going to blog my heart out~~

Walaoeh, Uni is not easy on the body at all, damn alot of stuff happened since I last blogged, so if you people don't like words, please stop reading immediately :)

Seriously for the past few weeks we've been drowning in homework sketching, rendering (OMG HAND CRAMP) and also model making.

It also meant sleepless nights, contradictions, plenty of fun and the excessive amounts of sleep after all that xD

Since too many freaking things happened throughout the whole damn month, I'ma do a very boring type of numbering system so you guys can know each and every single thing I did every single minute of the day...
*Insert evil laugh here*

Uno) Sketches and rendering!!! Sigh, typical architorture class la, making us draw 10 sketches and 4 rendering pictures within a week. Being the kiasu group we were, we left the 4 rendering drawings until the night before the submission date.

Of course you'll procrastinate if your classmates who already finished told you they only used 3 hours for each drawing. Count with me people, 3 times 4 equals... ummm... less than one day larrrr~~

But what they DIDN'T tell us is that the freaking Stippling technique took freaking 10 hours to do!!! Each and every line has to be dotted!! CAN YOU HANDLE THAT?! I took freaking 9 hours man!!!*Bad word* Monotonous to the last degree >.<

After I finished that one drawing I think I still saw dots everywhere... Like in the letter 'i' and fullstops (.)
Don't have the picture right now but when I get it back from my lecturers I'll make sure I'll post it as high def as I can. Most probably DLSR quality, so I can show you guys that my course is NOT easy, unlike what most people think

The sketches were better la at least... Here are some, post all afterwards your eyes bleed with pain.


Then again the lecturer said mine were above average xD Damn happy~~ *head big*


Dos) Party!!! My brother from another mother had his belated birthday party last sat. As usual, I go there party only, so all the pictures are with him. And as usual his parties ROCK TO THE MAX! A shout out to that guy for being an awesome if not the most awesome friend any guy could have. Happy Belated Birthday again, bro! xD

Tres) Model!!! Muahaahh, the most fun and tiring thing to do in my course are the freaking models la xD We had to design a model to create a space for celebration.

Our model's concept was the Milky Way, inspired by outer space's uncountable shining stars and its basic spiral swirl. Like this

And thats where our baby came from :)

Thisis what it/she/him looks like xD















Thumbs up for Small Scale Human (SSH) ;3



















Heres what it looks like from the top xD











And these are the AWESOME people who came up and/or help build the model :)

I love you guys :)









We had another model that suppose to be Hiding & Peeking, but I do not have pictures of that... surprisingly >.<

Quatro) MAKAN!!! Found out a really nice place to eat if you have rm20 to burn in one meal. I suggest you go to Sunway Pyramid and hunt for this shop called Pepper Lunch. They are currently the best fast food joint in my opinion.




And once again WILLIAM'S just keeps continuing to astound and astonish me with their dinner portions o.O


We (My bro, cousin and myself) Chicken Chop, Triple H, and Spaghetti Carbonara.

All as awesome as usual...





Freaking plate damn huge, can tell by proportion of spoon and fork... damn architectural terms >.<











Size of this plate freaking bigger than my cousin's head O.o











Five) Realization!!! That I can only count to 4 in Spanish >.<
That my animal is a beaver... for some unknown reason =.=
That Uni is not the same as college T.T
That I have to slim down more.
That I'm short... er than I thought I was
That the world is just awesome... *hums Discovery theme song*
That I have yet to do Number 6...
That I have exhausted my English and have to resort to using BM

Enam) Project Redang!!! OMG OMG OMG, this may be the most important thing right now. Assignments? Who needs them? Grades? They can wait. But this is the mother of all priorities because, OUR COURSE IS GOING TO REDANG!!! Officially obviously, and to choose a site for our next assignment.

Tell me again, how many courses can boast that they went to Pulau Redang for a site visit? How many other courses can say that the words "3 day 2 night stay at pulau redang" appears in their Semester Outline?

I think can safely say that only WE can lor :P

So be jealous, be very, very jealous xD

So whats Project Redang aka PR? It's out mission of a few of us in my course to slim down and/or buff up in time for the Redang trip which happens on the 4th of May. Another reason why I've been jogging at freaking 6 in the morning.

Anywyas, different people have different objectives for PR. Some wanna slim down, some wanna gain mass, and some just wanna gain weight. Anyhow, we're all pledging to look the best we can look by the 4th of May :)

And that's what PR is all about xD

So yea, to those that made it to the end of this post, congratulations, you've just waisted a few minutes of your lifeless life depending on your reading speed <3

Until next time, I love you guys xD

So tell me, what did you do or are planning to do this month??
:)
