Not just another visit to the bookstore!

It's July and it's reading month! So I went to Kinokuniya to get some new books and they have this awesome offer until the end of this month which is new membership will get 2 voucher of 20% of 2 fixed price books! So, ta-da!



It's been a month since I got Nikki but I still don't really know how to get my hands around it. Hence, after doing some Googling, I decided to buy this.



...and I also bought this book to help me strengthen my basics in AutoCAD 2013. Though the ones we're using in the lab is AutoCAD 2009 but I'm gonna install the new one in mum's Sony Vaio, so let's just go with this one instead. ...and this comes with a free cute Dummies small notebook.



Yeah, I'll try to get my hands on the George Omura and Rick Graham books later. But for starter, let's go with this first.

As per usual, I always check out the new Luxe Paper journal and notebooks collection and... Ta-da!!! This is Lilly's new sister, Amanda.



My best friend dragged me to the cinema before I managed to get to the second floor where most of favourite genres are located. Well, I guess I'm gonna buy some more later in August by using the remaining voucher!

But for now, I'm okay with these. :) #content



Okay, it's time to hit the bed... Good night!

Of New Semester and New Room


.... before that, phew! First semester in architecture is indeed crazy and got me killed for a moment there but I made it. We all made it safely.

... and now, it's short semester! Which marks the end of my first year in Gombak and that means one thing.

Moving into a new room, in new block but unfortunately the same mahallah. My new room is now located at the very back of my mahallah, 3 blocks away from my old block and I had about 15 trips going back and forth from my old room. Hell, I have a lot of stuffs! .... and almost a quarter of them were gotten rid by me by the time I managed to rearrange my room back. Huh! 

One of the thing that I find unpleasant in my study plan is the subjects that I need to take during the short semesters. ALL short semesters. Say goodbye to the 3 months vacation for the next 3 academic years~

Anyway, as for this semester I only take one subject. Though I do have Tilawah to take but nah~ next semester maybe. I still haven't transferred all those Study Circles, Leadership, and Parenting into my new student Graduation Audit and definitely will do so in this upcoming semester. There's no way in hell I'm gonna go through all that again.

Yesterday, I went to watch Snow White and the Huntsman, starring Kristen Stewart and the hot bod Chris Hemsworth (The big bro to Liam Hemsworth, Miley Cyrus' fiance) with my best friend who is sadly going back to her country today. The movie was awesome. Well, I haven't been to movie with my friends for over a year so yeah. I can't really tell. but the movie is awesome, still.

As for today, I have major cleaning to do at my big bro's apartment. (I'm using his desktop right now). This keyboard is so damn awesome!

All right, that's all for now.

I guess I see you guys on my next entry.

P.S.: I'm going back to Sabah next week for Adam's cukur rambut kenduri so, yes. Finally after 5 months, I'm going home. That marks the longest period I stayed in Peninsular Malaysia without coming back home.

CAD is Awesome!

I gotta say, it's kinda difficult and definitely need a lot of practice but I think I'm just crazy about this software! Haha I know it's sounds weird and crazy but I don't care!

All we did today was working on basics stuffs using the toolbar but I rather use shortcuts instead of the toolbar. It helps me saving time while working on the first 10% assignment.

And right now, all I'm thinking is starting to work on my dream apartment floor plan. Hehe it's gonna be a lot of fun!

There are various areas of topics we the first year students are going to be assigned with. Basically we're gonna cover the whole Neufert's Architect Data book so I do actually need to start doing some reading.

The upcoming weekend is going to be Archidex'12. It's like one of the grandest event for those in architectural field. I was thinking of going but unfortunately I have to do some shots for my personal Urban Trail with my best friend who's going back to her country soon. Plus, I don't have anyone to go with as everybody is gonna be occupied with the PADI event in UPM Serdang.

I'm thinking of going to catch some movies tomorrow but still haven't decided on what movie yet. Oh, well.

That's all for now and I'll see you guys on my next entry.

Here We Go!

Well, this semester is gonna be half studying and half vacation I say. Only one subject and I got nothing to complain about. But it's the first time I learned about Computer Aided Drafting. So I really think it's gonna be a wholesome of new experience. Plus, I haven't been using Windows for so long so yeah.

Since my MacBook's performance isn't really that high to operate AutoCAD, I'll be using mum's Sony Viao for a while.

I friend of mine a bought a Dell workstation for the purpose of working with AutoCAD which costed her around 7k. I asked my lecturer which platform is the best for AutoCAD and sadly, Windows triumph Mac OS X this time. AutoCAD wasn't released for Mac not until 2010.

Honestly, I'm tempted to buy a new laptop just to work on AutoCAD and that will be a good reason to buy a workstation computer.

Anyway, the first CAD class was really short, merely one hour. This is short semester so the scheduled was supposed to be doubled but not today.

We'll be starting our lessons on Tuesday next week.

Alright, then. Enjoy your weekend!

Urban Trail

Today, me and some of second year students will be going for an urban trail. I never done it before but I'm excited about it!

I'll post up some photos when we're done okay!
