Sketching the sketches

Looks like someone got confused with Graphic Design and Multimedia course with Multimedia and Graphic Design course. Well, if it says Graphic Design and Multimedia wouldn't that mean it will emphasize more on design than multimedia. Same goes to Multimedia and Graphic Design, which would mean it will emphasize more on multimedia instead of design. Unfortunately, UTAR only provide Graphic Design and Multimedia. *sighs*

Drawing 1 doesn't look so bad, the lecturer actually taught us how to draw. *laughs* She brief us about the materials needed (Materials AGAIN!) and ask us to draw 2 image. A lion head and a fish but you know what my lion looked like a monkey and my fish's mouth looks retarded. I was laughing throughout the whole drawing session. I am redrawing now, because all these sketches will be compiled at the end of the semester. Drawing 1 is 100% coursework, no final exam except for a mid-term. Damn, Drawing 1 got homeworks. We have to draw one-hour-sketches every week and hand in during tutorial class. Sketch what? Spoons, cups, just anything. Basic sketches for the first tutorial. My tutorial class is on Monday and I have to sketch one-hour-sketches this weekend.

I found out something very interesting today about my course. I think... I think... I'm the youngest. Born on 1988 is actually very young in this course, majority that I knew had just finished their STPM which means they are born on 1987 or 1986. My course representative is 1987 if I'm not mistaken. The Drawing 1 lecturer asked her to get the projector and laptop, she just turned and asked who can help her carry the projector although it's not really heavy, and maybe Lee Yen doesn't know how big is the projector? (I hope I got Lee Yen's name correct or I'll be killed if she reads this) So I volunteered because I know where the ICT Centre is and other UTAR stuffs. I also briefed her on what a course representative should do because she's still new in UTAR. *laughs* I think I want to be a class representative for my tutorial class. Although I might be the youngest in the whole course but I'm responsible. (Am I?) *shy*

I got to know quite a number people today. I think there are about 10 people. Let's see... Lee Yen, Min Ting, two Klang girls. (Sorry, I forgot your names. Will ask for it again tomorrow. *shy*) Then there's a spontaneuos friend making session with Joe, Lemon and another guy (Sorry, forgot your's too. *shy*) right before Advertising Design starts. Talk to another new friend, Alan, during the class. Advertising Design lecturer was so fun, he crack up jokes but what he is going teaching is so boring. You know why? He's teaching 'History on Graphic Design'. Oh My God, I hate History and I had never once pass my History since I was Form 4. NEVER! Believe it or not? I fail that subject during SPM too. *sad*

One of the Klang girl lives near my area and we can carpool because she's in the same class I'm in, Yay! Oh, did I forget to mention that I know what tutorial class that I'm in already? I'm in Tutorial 3 but the name list is not out yet, Lee Yen went to the Faculty Office to asked for Graphic Design students' name list and I took a look at the list but my name it's still not it so I asked the person-in-charge and she told me I'm in Tutorial 3. Still waiting for a call from the Klang girl, doesn't know whether she wants to follow my car for tomorrow's class.

Argh, even Drawing 1 needs it's own materials.

Drawing 1
A3 Drawing Pad
Sketch Book A3 Size
Broad and Fine Tip Marker (Black and Gray)
Drawing Pencils and Colour Pencils
Black and White Pencil-Type Charcoal (Hard, Medium and Soft)
Layout Papers
Kneaded Eraser
Paper Stump
Masking Tape
A piece of A2 Wooden Board

I want to start re-sketching the lion and the fish. Will post it here after I finish sketching and PLEASE don't laugh.

Multimedia and Graphic Design? NO!

It's been 5 days since I last blog, everyone is scolding me saying that I'm not a potential blogger, always blog 'mati'. What to do, I'm really lazy and I actually said I want to blog during my degree programme. *sighs*

Okay, let's start with the first day of my degree programme and the very first class was Colour Studies. Graphic Design students combine with Advertising students in one lecture hall. That time, I don't even know anyone. I felt so lost. If I'm not mistaken, the lecturer's name is Cik Mardziah and another one which I didn't actually pay any attention to her name although she's the Graphic Design lecturer. *laughs*

First-week-lectures always finish early, about 1 hour. Basically she briefed us on the courseworks and how the marking scheme works. I was so shocked to hear her saying that we need to draw using our OWN HANDS for designing. NO WAY! I don't know how to draw with my hands, the reason I chose this is because it's Multimedia and Graphic Design, it should be about computers and stuffs such as using Adobe Photoshop or Adobe Illustrator to design. You know what I found out after that? It's Graphic Design and Multimedia not the other way round. *cries* It's not fair when Advertising students get to use softwares to design and Graphic Design students design manually. Not forgetting to mention, Colour Studies overall marking is 80% for coursework and 20% for final exam. I'm sure to get very low marks on coursework because I really don't know how to draw with my hands. *cries* My first-class degree is gone. *sobs* I'll list all the materials needed for the whole semester at the end.

And that was Monday's class, let move on to Tuesday's where I was very pissed off.

The first class on Tuesday was Bahasa Kebangsaan at 9.30a.m. to 11.00a.m. and continues from 12.00p.m. to 1.30p.m. and then the second class was Visual Communication which starts at 4.00p.m. till 6.00p.m. There's a 3 hours gap in between the 2 subjects. Oh My God, how I am going to survive in that place without anyone to talk to and hang out together. Okay, I thought of worrying about that later after the Bahasa Kebangsaan class. So, I went took a seat while waiting for the lecturer to come in. Talked to 2 guys and our conversation didn't go very well, it's like we have nothing to talk about, our interests are not the same. Just then the lecturer came in and this is what she said.

Lecturer : Selamat pagi dan selamat sejahtera kepada semua. Semua orang di sini dari Graphic Design dan Psychology kan? Dan ini adalah subjek Bahasa Kebangsaan betul?

There's like 100 people and about 20 answered her question including me. I'm a good student okay? *shy* The following statement seriously gave me a shock.

Lecturer : Jadi saya nak beritahu kamu semua, sesiapa yang Bahasa Melayu dia masa SPM dapat A1,A2,B3,B4,C5 dan C6........


TOLONG KELUAR SEKARANG!

Oh My God, WHY?! I'm a good student, what did I do wrong?

Lecturer : Sebab sesiapa yang dapat credit dan ke atas boleh 'exempt' dari mengambil 'subject' ini.

That means I don't need to take this subject. *screams happily* Then I take a look at the time on my handphone. 9.45a.m. WHAT?! Nine-fourty-five? That's like 6 more hours before my next class! Where did the 3 hours gap go? Why did it MULTIPLY itself? I'm so alone and I'm going to cry soon.

Those 2 guys I mentioned earlier went back to thier respective houses. See, I told you we don't get along well. Didn't even bid farewell. Okay, and then I went to the notice board to look for my name and which tutorial class I'm in. UTAR is so slow, so useless and it's a pile of junk. I don't even know what class I'm in, they asked me to check back in a few days time. This was told on Monday, so I checked on Tuesday and to my surprise I saw name lists. Yay, the name list is out and my course only has 3 tutorial classes and it was very easy to scan through the names. So, I scanned the classes one by one, looking for Gan Jay Han. Tutorial 1 - NO! , Tutorial 2 - NO! *sighs*

That means I'm in tutorial 3. *scans on tutorial 3 list* Tutorial 3 - NO!

WHAT?! Where is my name? Why am I not on the list? This is the latest list and my name is not in it. I already paid my bills and you're telling me I'm not registered? Fine, then I went to the faculty office and asked 'bout whether the list is finalized. They said it's not and check back in a few days time. If it's NOT finalized, why did you even bother to put it up? All of you are so stupid. Brainless!

Was so pissed off, and remembered that I haven't take my picture for my student ID card. Went there and saw that there was a long queue, and all girls. Never mind, I have like 6 hours to waste. So I went in and took a so-called-prisoners' paper. It has our name, ID number (Which I don't f***ing have), address and IC number. You need to hold that paper up when the photographer is taking your picture, looks like a prisoner.

So I went and queue up, not even 1 minute of queuing, the person-in-charge called me and asked me to go first. I don't even know why but who cares, as long I don't need to queue. Suddenly, I felt this chill that went up my spine. As I turned and look at the queue, about 16 girls stared at me with the f***-you look or the I'm-going-to-kill-you look. But it wasn't my fault, I didn't ask to go first. Then the photographer passed me a blazer and it was so small (Or was it that I'm fat? *sad*). I almost cannot fit but managed to at the end. Took the required pictures and quickly ran out of the room, if not, I'll be murdered by the looks on their faces.

And then there's 5 hours and 30 minutes left to go, was so bored and called my foundation friends and luckily their class starts at 3p.m. and I asked them out to Midvalley. So I drove there and spent a few hours in Midvalley doing nothing. Oh, I actually did something. I checked my Public Bank account and the amount writen on my pay cheque is in it. *happy* The first time I key in my password, it was wrong and I was so scared, 3 wrong attempts and the ATM card will be lost forever. I'm not really sure what my password is because I have like so many passwords to remember. 'Dapat-lah jugak' at the end, if not I wouldn't have tell you that the cheque has been deposit right?

Drove back to my campus at around 2.30p.m. and went to the internet lab. Chat with a few friends while waiting for the time to fly pass. The internet lab connection is like slower than snails, it took about 5 minutes to load Jacsville's forum. Damn pissed off. Log out at 3.30p.m. and went to the class.

Saw that guy I talked to on Monday and sat beside him, right at the back of the class. I'm not used to sitting at the back, I'm a good student so I must sit in front. *shy* I vowed that I'll sit in front next time, even if there's no one sitting beside me. Visual Communication lecture didn't take 1 hour to finish, and I thought all lectures on the first week finishes early. She used up all 2 hours and what the hell, even Visual Communication need to design manually. Must buy brushes, poster colours, colours pencils for almost all the subject. I feel like a small child learning arts in school. I don't know how to draw with my hands, I only know how to draw and design using the computer. It ends at 6p.m. and that time Federal Highway is having its massive jam.

Oh My God, someone please kill me.

So, there's nothing to say about after the massive jam, I reached home and do my daily routine which is chatting, checking e-mail and other internet stuffs. As well as today, nothing interesting. Similiar with yesterday night, just include eating lunch and dinner, playing PS2 and sleep. Oh, I did these on Sunday, I think. Take a look.


Jac is going to be the winner of IKON Malaysia. *screams*

I replaced the AIM award with the IKON award. *evils*


Oh My God, Jac won IKON Malaysia.


Note: Ini hanyalah rekaan semata-mata, ia tidak berkaitan dengan yang mati atau yang hidup.

Now, the list of materials that are needed for Colour Studies and Visual Communication.

Colour Studies
A3 Sketch Book
2 Flat & Round Brushes (No.4, 6, 8, 9, 10)
Poster Colours (Cobalt Blue, Red, Yellow, Black and White)
Palette
Water Container
Towel

I seriously didn't know that brushes had types. *laughs* And they even have numbers. I don't even know what flat and round brush looks like and what does that numbers mean.

Visual Communication
Drawing Pen (Micron) 0.2, 0.4, 0.16
Metal Ruler 12" and 18"
Cutter (NT)
Cutting Mat
Set Square
Circular Template
Oval Template
Poster Colours
French Curve
Flat and Pointed Brushes
Art Block
Spray Mount (3M)
Art Gum (Faber-Castell)
Lighter Fluid
4B Pencils
Masking Tape 1"
BOFA Set

This is even worst than the earlier subject and I think those word in the brackets are the brand. It should be the brand because I copy this down from lecture slides. There's so many things there that I never heard before. And why do we need lighter fluid for, to burn designs that are not successful or ugly? What the heck is a BOFA set. I know what's a sofa set but I don't know what the hell a BOFA set is. How much does all of these cost? It looks so freaking expensive.

Art-type people, please help me with this.

P.S. This message is directly to gummy-boy, I'm very sure you know what the hell that was listed above. I need your help! Where can I buy those stuffs?

One day with full of results

I'm so filled with results - American Idol results, Foundation Studies results and my working results (Wages).

I took my wages at my ex-work place and it was my first time receiving a cheque as my pay. *excited* Well, I never worked before and this was my first time! *laughs* I worked for 8-days as a telemarketer and on the cheque, a sum of RM502.50 was written on it. RM60 per day, I guess it's worth it for a part-timer. The extras are from the OT, doing some cut-and-paste job.

Went to my campus to ask for my Foundation Studies results and the person-in-charge said it's not out yet. Fine, then I drove to another faculty, which is not in a walking distance, the Faculty of Admission and Credit Evaluation for my "missing" offer letter. They told me the offer letter will only be given out after the results. My god, UTAR is so damn slow. What the f*** are they doing? I'm so fed up with UTAR because of their atrocious usage of English language and their services!

Drove to Public Bank to bank-in my cheque in to my account. Well, as you know, this is my first time so I asked my friend to do it for me. *laughs* I can't wait to withdraw the money, I want to buy a new hand phone or maybe a MP3 player.

Bought some PS2 games at Shaw Centerpoint, Klang while surveying for second-hand handphones. I'm thinking whether to buy K750i or W800i, I like K750i more because it's black in colour and W800i is kind of ugly. Enough 'bout phones, let's talk about it after I withdraw my money.

And the winner of American Idol 2007 is... JORDIN SPARKS!

I sort of expected it because it was so obvious that she's going to win. If it’s Jordin VS Melinda finale, then I can't predict at all but Jordin VS Blake finale, they don't even need to compete at all to see who's going to win the title of American Idol. But I love the finale song. It's so nice, I'm so going to download it tomorrow.

Not forgetting to mention about the Foundation Studies results. I was watching American Idol and all of the sudden, one of my foundation studies friend called me and told me that the results are out. So I ran upstairs to my room and open the UTAR Intranet to check for it. I was so freaking scared when I typed in my ID and password. I was thinking what will happen if I failed? Please God, let me pass!

And...

I passed! *screams* Got CGPA 3.1, which is classified as Second-Lower Class Degree if this is the result I'm going to get in my Degree Programme. But at least it better than a Passing Degree and why talk about it when this is just Foundation Studies results. I know CGPA 3.1 is not something to be proud of but if you're in my shoes, you'll know why I feel proud of myself. Imagine, I failed 3 subjects for my SPM and I only got 5 credits, my SPM result is so bad. So for me, getting CGPA 3.1 is like a great achievement and it's more than above average. I want to get a lot better, and I wished to get First Class Degree for my Degree Programme. *laughs*

I wish I could do it. Let's start dreaming! *snoozes off*

I'll give you a KISS!

No, I don't mean as in literally kissing you. K-I-S-S, Keep It Short and Simple. And again no, I'm not saying that this time I'm going to blog it short and simple. It's something which I'm going to blog about.

Today was the worst day of the year. My god, can you like imagine sitting on a low-classed chair for 5 hours and not being able to stretch your body at all. My butt was 'opening its flower' (Direct translation from a mandarin word, 'Kai Hua') and it was numb and I couldn't even feel my butt anymore so I guess this is what people say, Pain In The Ass. *laughs* I was actually forced to go for the briefing, I didn't want to go. I thought of registering and go back afterwards but some b**** stopped me and say that I'll have to go for the briefing, it's important. I tried to give excuses but she told me, I can do those stuffs later, after the briefing. *mad*

I'm always having problem of thinking a title when I blog but today I got it instantly when I was listening to that dumb talk. Throughout the whole 5 hours shit, I can hear this particular word, KISS, from the emcee and the talking idiots when they start their stupid speech.

Idiot : I know you all are tired. I'll keep it short and simple.
Me : *talks to myself* If you know then shut the f*** up and let us go!

Not only that stupid KISS word, this phrase also was mentioned almost every time when they are reaching the end, Just A Little Bit More.

Idiot : Just a little bit more about what I'm saying earlier.
Me : Good, so we can go home...
Idiot : Bla...Bla...Bla... *for 30 minutes*
Me : What the heck is with the A-LITTLE-BIT-MORE?
Yee Won : I don't know.
Idiot : And, just a little bit more on this.
Me : F*** YOU! GET A LIFE!
Idiot : Bla...Bla...Bla... *for another 20 minutes or so*
Me : I really hope this is the end or I'll go crazy, seriously!
Yee Won : I hope so too.
Idiot : Now, let me tell you about my life.
Me : OH MY F***ING GOD! DO I LOOK LIKE I'M BOTHERED WITH YOUR STUPID LIFE-LESS LIFE? LET ME OUT OF HERE THIS INSTANT!

Note : Those words that are upper-case in the dialog was what that I told myself. I don't have the courage to actually say that! *cries*

And there's like almost 7 talks and 5 out of 7 talks, their English are like... WOAH! You couldn't imagine! Let me demonstrate a little bit.

Solli arh, this palaglaph is dedicated to them so prease don't mind on my usage of Engrish language orh. You know hor, they are talked about the facurty, talk about the internet rabs and other stuff-lah. I couldn't understand some of the words used wor, I think they make up some words that I never heard before one. Kept laughing and laughing-ler during the talk, so veli the funny one. They some more got ask us to legistering our account before using the rab wor. ASK US TO LEGISTERING OUR ACCOUNT LOR! DON'T FORGET! PREASE LEGISTERING YOUR ACCOUNT BEFORE USE!

Okay! Stop, if I keep this up hor, I'll get use to it-lah.
Oh My God! STOP IT!

Phew... Okay... The reason I don't want to go for the stupid briefing was because I got no friends and it will be so boring if I don't have anyone to talk to. Thank god, I started the conversation asking what course are they in to the one sitting beside me. And I got to know 2 girls, one sitting on my left and one sitting on my right. You might know the one sitting on the right, I had already mentioned above. Her name is Yee Won and the one sitting on my left is Shani. And surprisingly, she from Klang and studied in the same school that I'm from but I never seen her before, neither did she. Unfortunately, both of them aren't in the same course that I'm in. Shani chose Broadcasting while Yee Won chose Psychology and I had chosen Graphic Design, how pathetic. I've been thinking whether to change course to Broadcasting, it sounds like fun. Sigh, I seriously have no idea. I still don't have any friends from my course. *cries*

I blogged so much about the stupid talk. I don't want to talk about that anymore. *angry*

I watched Ugly Betty episode 23 today and I cried, can you imagine that? I cried! My tears rolled down all of the sudden. It was so sad and it makes people cry, seriously. Betty's sister, Hilda was getting married and her husband, Santos, was killed by a robber, he was shot in a grocery shop and the reason he was there is because he wanted to buy something for his son's performance on that night and he promised to go and watch the performance. Why must he die, WHY! I cried at the part where Betty went to the place where his nephew, Justin was performing. She went and told Hilda that Santos is dead. *sobs*


I'll cry when I see someone cries. Her expression was like so real that my tears actually rolled down looking at her crying. *sobs*


And this is how episode 23 ends.



Heroes episode 23 was boring, I don't really like the show anymore since that timeline thingy confuses me but I do continue to watch as well. So, Sylar died at the end of the show. It's such a typical script for a TV-show, the good ones always win. Do we really have special powers? Maybe I do, my sixth sense is always accurate. Ask Choo Yen, she knows about it! *laughs*

Earlier just now, Teng messaged me on WLM (Which was known as MSN before this) asking me to do a banner for Henley. She asked Syazwan to do it first but she still insisted of asking me to do another one. So I did a simple one, colourful background and his name with a picture of him, of course. And this was the outcome of my design.



Oh my god, how much have I typed today? It's so long and I thought it would be a KISS article. I guess I'll stop, so see ya! *laughs*

P.S. : Today is Choo Yen's birthday, I wished her earlier this morning during that bloody talk. So I'll give you another happy birthday wish in my blog. Happy Birthday, Choo Yen! *laughs*

Why doesn't anyone comment about my singing? Is it really that bad? Please do comment, I want to improve!

Expand, Enlarge and Exaggerate

Because of the title, you guys thought I'm dirty minded and talked 'bout dirty stuffs right? *pissed off* Got nothing to do about dirty minded-lah, just read futher and you'll know why I chose that as my title.

All I did today was mostly singing and recording. *laughs* I tried my best to sing Satu Harapan and well, the outcome was... listen for yourself on your right side of the screen, Media Player. Okay, I do admit that I'm not a good singer but I love to sing.

Choo Yen introduced me this new hair-do-thingy website, where you can change your hair style but it comes out looking fake as ever. She pasted the url around 2p.m. but I didn't bother to open it *evils*, until right before I blog when I asked for the link again. I did play with some hair-dos and one of them came out quite real, although it still looks fake to me so I won't post that picture up. Not forgetting, I saw Choo Yen and her friend's personal picture. *laughs*

Right before I blog, I was like telling Choo Yen that there's nothing to blog about today and she said blog about singing.

Choo Yen says:
So you say, Today I spent my day by singing!

I was trying to "bomb" Choo Yen that the sentence can be elaborated into few more sentences but could not get the word -ELABORATE-. I knew that the word starts with an E. Was total blank at that time, so asked Choo Yen to think of that word. And what in the world, she was also blank. So she came out with some word that starts with an E such as EXPAND, ENLARGE and the worst was EXAGGERATE which made me laughed like mad. At the end, she got the word when I was busy typing my blog. *laughs*

I'm going for my degree orientation tomorrow, I am scared because I might be alone. I'm the only one from my class that changed to Faculty of Arts and Social Science because I changed to Bachelor of Arts Multimedia and Graphic Design. I'm such a shy person, how to make friends?! We'll see how it goes tomorrow. *cries*

Oh, I missed a post yesterday. I was so suprised that Jac told me that she doesn't take drugs, as in not taking Panadols, when we were chatting in Y!Messenger and the chat goes like this.

Jac : I headache now!
Revolution : Eat some panadols.
Jac : Nonononoooo....
Jac : I dont do drugs!
Jac : Hahaha!
Revolution : HAHAHA!
Revolution : Panadol saja... jadi kalo sakit kepala mau buat ape?
Jac : Tahan je...
Revolution : Susah-nya...

Note : Nicknames had been changed to avoid disturbance in Jac's Y!Messenger.

Still waiting for an answer from Myspace admins. Hope they'll reply me before Jac makes decision on the Myspace profiles and I missed IKON Buzz today, hope that someone will upload it so I can watch.

Ribenababy in the house!

Woke up around 1 p.m. today, I think so I'm not sure! *laughs* Went down and ate my lunch (Which was supposedly to be my breakfast!). Had 'Nasi Lemak' and 'Chai Kuey' with Ribena. *slurps* No one was at home every day at this time. My mum is out to Klang Parade to do her crochet thingy then later had to fetch my small sister back from school, they come home at around 4 p.m. which leaves me alone for 3 hours.

I went back to my room after my "lunch" and started surfing the net. Every day I'll stop by Jacsville to see latest updates, so I checked the forum posts and nothing new. Went back to the homepage and saw ribenababy in the chat-box, I was like "Jac ke?", I asked and she went like "Revo, don't you know I have 2 nicks?" 'Malu' only kena bombed by her. After chatting with her for a while and then a few came online - Cindy, Brian and Kai Ma!

And imagine, the first topic was about ghost, freaked me out cause I was alone at home. They were saying that there were other visitors in that bungalow they rent for the first Jacsville trip. Brian said that 'thing' disturbed him and Faiz by pulling their legs and hands when they were sleeping but they saw nothing. Jac said that 'thing' want to party with them as well. Priest came in suddenly and chats for a while. He said that they should bring holy water with them during the trip. *laughs*

I told Jac that if she was there, they don't need even holy water. All they need was her voice! Gemilang, Realiti.... Gemilang, Realiti.... Lari terus all those 'things'! Then she said I 'perli' her. 'Mana ada perli?' *cries* and I said, it's a compliment because she's a goddess and her voice are like prayers. 'Nyanyi je' all 'lari' already! *laughs*

She wasn't there for a while sometimes, and then she told us she was trying to register for Myspace using her own name but she can't because www.myspace.com/jaclynvictor was chosen by Jac's fan, I think, and right after she told us 'bout that she totally disappears and I tried to message her on Y!Messenger, she was invisible. No wonder I didn't see her online!

She asked me how she can get that name for herself, so I told her that maybe I'll try to contact the owner of that profile. She created a substitute account for herself first in case the owner of that profile doesn't want to give in the account. (No, I cannot tell you the URL for the substitute account. I promised her.) After creating the account, she said she got to go to work already and I replied that I'll SMS her on the updates about the profile.

I tried to message the owner of the profile and I did get a reply. Most importantly, I managed to persuade him to give me the registered e-mail and password but sadly, there's a problem. The owner forgot the password for the e-mail because if we want to change the username which is also the e-mail address, the confirmation mail will be sent to the current e-mail address. I SMS-ed Jac about the good news and she was quite happy for the first few couple of SMS-es and then the bad news but she said that we could sort it out soon which I really hope so.

Hope to hear some good news from the Myspace admins.

Satu Harapan

Satu harapan dan.... harapan itu tercapai juga!
Yes, I managed to go to Midvalley today for Jaclyn Victor's Rejoice kinda like Meet-The-Fans session. I called at least 5 people and hope that at least one of them could follow me to Midvalley (This statement excluding you, Choo Yen) because my mom wouldn't let me go out alone. It's so embarassing to tell my friends that when they 'ajak' to go any where. They'll be like "How old are you already? Still small is it? Need mum's permission!".

Well, I personally believe that no one in this world that had never lied before. So I lied to get myself to meet Jac. (I would die for Jac seriously. Her voice is something to die for!) I told my mum my friend is waiting for me in a shopping complex nearby to watch movie. (Clever ain't I?)

Listening to 'Satu Harapan' live was like the BOMB, it was so good. By the way,have to buy 2 bottles of Rejoice shampoo to get a CD and a pillow. Other than that, an autograph session and free instant-picture with Jac! How cool is that for only RM20? I don't have a camera to show you what I've owned today but I'll 'curi' someone's pictures that has it. *evil laughs*

This conversation came up during the autograph session today.

Jac : Revo, what's your real name?
Me : Um... Jay Han? J-A-Y H-A-N!
Jac : Nice what? Why call Revo?
Me : Revo sounds nicer! Hahaha...
Jac : No-lah, Jay Han nicer!

But she still write Dearest Revo. *laughs*

The name Revo also came up by the nickname I use in every single forum that I registered, Revolution. So, normally after chatting in the forum for a while, there will be gatherings such as Malaysian Idol gatherings, One In A Million gatherings, Jacsville gatherings and a lot more. When all of us meet and start to introduce, we'll definately say the nickname we used in the forum so it's like "Hi, I'm Revolution!" or "Hi, I'm Revo!". That is how the name spread around for 3 years and haven't stopped yet! Instead of putting my english name as Ryan, I think should put as Revo. Unique right? *crazy*

Jacsville's family photo!


Jac wrote a short message behind all those photos, it's so nice of her.
Mine is read out like this :

Dearest Revo,
Thank you for being here today! Means a lot to me!
Hope to see you real soon! Take care alright? Hugs!!
Love,
Jaclyn

*screams* I can't wait to see her again! I'll be meeting her next Friday on the 25th, hope I get to go this time without lying. To tell the truth, I hate lying but sometimes we're forced to.

I Hope is Satu Harapan's English version and Oh My God! It's so good with the ad-libs but lack of the vocal power after the bridge. Satu Harapan has a lot more vocal power which make both of the version equal. No one get an award for being the best version. I'm so falling in love with this song. The CD came with Satu Harapan, I Hope, Minus One Track, Gemilang and Di Bawah Pohon Asmara. Yay, there's a Minus One track. I'm gonna start singing!

I'm going to make 2 sentences with the song's title!
I Hope I can go on the 25th for Nite of Soulful Stars recording session, featuring Jaclyn Victor and Daniel Lee as guest artiste! Ini adalah salah Satu Harapan saya untuk minggu depan. *laughs*

p.s. Although I 'curi' his photos, still must give credit-lah. Thanks Yik Hoong from Jacsville who is in the photo as well. Thanks a lot for your photos. I don't have a digital camera. *cries*
