publication design makes me go dizzy

Dear Sumire,

Here's a magazine assignment I made for Publication Design. It's tiring when you'd to come up with a 16 page magazine design is less than 2 days (thanks to my missing laptop). I presented it today, and my lecturer seems satisfied. Hopefully I didn't read her expressions wrongly. I'm really tired with so much work to do. There's more to be done, and I'm afraid I cannot make it in time. :-(

Anyway, here it is. I embedded the a pdf file here, so you guys can view it in fullscreen. It might be a little slow, due to the large file size. Comments are appreciated. Thank you. :-P

Continue to do the rest of my assignment lo =(

very yellow ah my head right now!

Dear Yellow Sumire,

My head is filled u with the word 'Yellow' at the moment. Not the yellow that you're thinking. Not the hamsap yellow. Don't get me all wrong now. ;-P

It's just this old song from a few years ago. I'd heard this song before when it was popular, but I never knew the name of the song. It was only a few weeks ago my gurl told me that it was called Yellow.

But really, even if I like the song, and no matter how many times I go through with the lyrics, I never get to understand the 'yellow' part of it. Tak paham. If you understand, then please explain it to me. Hahaha...

So here it is, Coldplay's Yellow:

Look at the stars,
Look how they shine for you,
And everything you do,
Yeah they were all yellow,

I came along
I wrote a song for you
And all the things you do
And it was called yellow

So then I took my turn
Oh all the things I've done
And it was all yellow

Your skin
Oh yeah your skin and bones
Turn into something beautiful
D'you know you know I love you so
You know I love you so

I swam across
I jumped across for you
Oh all the things you do
Cause you were all yellow

I drew a line
I drew a line for you
Oh what a thing to do
And it was all yellow

Your skin
Oh yeah your skin and bones
Turn into something beautiful
D'you know for you i bleed myself dry
For you i bleed myself dry

Its true look how they shine for you
look how they shine for you
look how they shine for you
look how they shine for you
look how they shine for you
look how they shine
look at the stars look how they shine for you

It's a very nice song. It would be even nicer if I truly understand the meaning of the lyrics. Alright, it's time for me to get back to work! I'm not even supposed to blog now. Time constraint!

Dragging my ass back to work,

blogging kat mamak

Dear Sumire,

Today I want to blog in rojak language. Malas lah wanna think about grammar and this and that and this and that, and this and that. I blur oledi, so dun blame me if u think you dun understand what the hell on earth I’m talking about. LOLX

I’m supposed to be working my ass off at this moment, but then here I go, blogging kat mamak, or what they call bistro here in shah alam. I feel like if I can, I want to just buat muker tak kisah about the presentation for Brand Identity tomorrow, but I can’t. so that’s exactly the reason why I’m here at mamak with my two group members, supposingly doing our respective task, but I dunno la. We’re just here while people around here are shouting “GOAL! YAY! Ahh!” while watching the soccer match on tv. Dunno plak whu lawan whu. Tak kisah. Not a bola fan anyway.

Supposingly working la on assignments. But sempat take ss picture. LOLX.

SS. LOLX. you can tell how tired we are by the bengkak under our eyes.
But we can always smile for the camera.

Ekin yang RAJIN.

Tunisha yang SERIOUS.

Kak Ai and some unknown random guy.
She sat just hind me. She mengacau saja actually.

Kk. Back to work.
Before they start to plan a homicide sebab i tak buat kerja.

i really hate you

Dear Sumire,

There’s no other song to represent my feelings right now, except for this:

"Don't Stay"



Sometimes I need to remember just to breathe
Sometimes I need YOU to stay away from me
Sometimes I’m in disbelief I didn’t know
Somehow I need YOU to go

Don’t stay
Forget our memories
Forget our possibilities
What YOU were changing me into
Just give me myself back and
Don’t stay
Forget our memories
Forget our possibilities
Take all Your faithlessness with YOU
Just give me myself back and
Don’t stay

Sometimes I feel like I trusted YOU too well
Sometimes I just feel like screaming at myself
Sometimes I’m in disbelief I didn’t know
Somehow I need to be alone

I don’t need YOU anymore, I don’t want to be ignored
I don’t need one more day of YOU wasting me away
I don’t need YOU anymore, I don’t want to be ignored
I don’t need one more day of YOU wasting me away

With no apologies

DON'T STAY!

Yes! I hate YOU! YOU’re wasting all my time away! YOU make my life miserable! Aku benci KAMU! Hate YOU! Damn YOU!

Yes YOU! ASSIGNMENTS!

Frustrated with too many thing to do,

too busy

Dear Sumire,

I wish I could post an entry sooner, but I'm really very busy at the moment. Assignment workloads are pulling the life out of me. Pray for me, so that I can pull through this obstacle. I'm beginning to cough again, which is irritating because I'm coughing so hard the pain goes all the way to my head.

That's all for now. I wish I could write more, but I'm running out of time. I'll post a lengthy post once i got the chance. Once all these works and burden is relieved off my shoulder.

*cough cough*

Yours truly,

random

Dear Sumire,

If I could describe my life with colors, it would be a grey rainbow. My life had always been colorful and grey at the same time.

I won’t describe myself as a good person. I’m not Mr. Nice. I have an evil mind. I know I’m capable of causing harm to people. I know people see me as evil-doer. My dad must have been very disappointed to have a son like me. He’s a great man, a good man; and I’m nothing like him. He’s in a totally different league in which I’ll never reach.

But God had always and always blessed me with good people around me. If I’m to compare myself to them, I would say I stand next to nothing. I’d a great family. Good friends. Sometimes, I feel like I do not deserve this people in my life.

Maybe it’s my nature; to ruin things. I’m like a typhoon of destruction, destroying everything in my path. That includes the beautiful people God blessed me with.

Koo once told me, “You do not see what you have. You complained, but you never had realized that your life is blessed and perfect.” I dismissed him by saying anyone else but him had the right to deliver that kind of speech to me, and never ever gave a second thought about what he said. But he was right. I’m blessed, despite how ugly my soul can be.

Nah. It’s nothing. I’m not emotional. My brain’s not working quite right with so many things to do, and so little time to use. Still, I’m feeling tired and lazy. Stiff neck and shoulders makes me even lazier. Then things start to come to mind and I drift away into my own imaginarium. Being alone with nothing to do got me thinking.

Let me get this straight. I’m indeed a vengeful man, or at least I’d a vengeful heart. I’d emphasized that I’m not Mr. Nice Guy. Of anyone did anything bad to me, I swear I’ll return the favor. I know it’s morally questionable, but that’s just the way I am.

Frustrated,
Jin

lazy

Dear Sumire,

I’m feeling so lazy lately. Super duper lazy! There’s a bunch of work to do, but my progress are as slow as slowpoke from Pokémon. To make it even worse, I dare to start playing all those lousy Facebook game which drain away hours and hours of time without me realizing! Damn.

Argh! Got to start working on all those assignments no matter I like it or not. I hope I won’t push it to hard till I fall sick, like what happened last week!
Hours and hours of headache and fever are not desirable.

Anyway, I watched Zombieland, Avatar, Storm Rider 2 and Holmes.

Zombieland

I expect it to be very much like ‘Sean of the Dead’, if not worse. You know, zombie movies are crawling cheap nowadays at cinemas. All zombie films feature fake looking slow moving rotting zombie with nothing but the desire to feed on living humans. When the first Resident Evil was out, I expect I bombastic effect since I’m a fan of the original video games, but I’m disappointed with the lousy looking make-ups. I must say I expect quite the same with Zombieland.

But Zombieland, like Sean of the Dead is really funny. Come on, in a world devastated with Zombies, the movie implies that fastening your seatbelts is the one of the keys to stay alive! (And that’s Rule#3, the top of the list rule) The zombie might have bad make ups like all the other zombie movies in the market, but what differentiate these zombies from the others are the way they die. They all die with style.
My rating: 2.5/5 stars

Avatar
I’d been expecting a lot from Avatar. And I’m not disappointed. It’s spectacular and the whole movie was so well made. Sam Worthington’s character in Avatar is an ass in the beginning, but he soon turn into a confused man. The movie questions our own morality when it comes to another living being. Would you stand for your kind, or would you stand for the one being taken advantage of?

Anyway, the movie is all about man, blue aliens and the USB where you can plug and play.
4.5/5 stars

Storm Rider 2
This is rubbish. I looked highly upon this movie and I’d a lot of reason to do so. Pang brothers, Aaron Kwok, Nicholas Tse and Simon Yam. But this movie is rubbish. It’s supposed to be a great sequel, but the movie turned out to be far worse than its 10-year-old-predessecor. The characters are badly written, with no depth or insights like the movie makers claimed. The storyline is rubbish. In the end, we don’t even know what they’re fighting for.
1/5 stars

Sherlock Holmes
Holmes turns out to be quite enjoyable. I like it when they make Holmes so miserable. I mean, many would’ve thought Holmes is a composed elegant detective. But the truth is, he’s not! The movie is really quite faithful to Holmes original attitudes in the books. Jude Law did a great job as Dr. Watson! He's really cool, and who said Watson always have to be a comical character? Watson solves his cases of his own in some of the stories ok!

I can tell they’re making a sequel from the ending they gave. It makes me wonder who will portray Professor Moriarty; the ultimate nemesis that Holmes always fails to catch?
4/5 stars

That's all for today. Chao.
Sleepy,
Jin.

assignments

Dear Sumire,

I wonder why I have never ending assignments. The lecturers seem to enjoy this. One of them lecturers even asks us to make her a magazine. In like a week or so? God, save us all. Most of us have hardly started anything even though the deadline is almost there. And there’re more written assignments undone!

I better stop blogging and start being hardworking now..

Tired.
Jin.
