Good day folks. I woke up feeling pretty light and bubbly today wtf and no it wasn’t caused by a hangover but yesterday was just probably one hell of an awesome day. It was Taylor’s Graduation Day at the Plenary Hall in KLCC. It was definitely a memorable day for me because it was something which involved my parents, the Keeper and of course the rest of my friends who’ve been with me for the past couple of years. All the crazy fun, hectic schedules and of course the bonded friendships.

I’m so gonna miss all of you!

The shaking hands,getting your scroll and smiling to the camera moment.

Anyway the day started off with my boyfriend and my father having a smoke after lunch. Yes,both mum and I can’t stand the sight of this at times.

The Keeper dressed up with the YSL white tee and white tie; love you baby!

My favourite people; Maizan, Yee Wa, Katrina, Siti and myself!

Let me present you,my two favourite shots!

My backbone and never ending supporter.

I can still recall there were nights when he’d come over to stay up late with me till wee hours in the morning, struggling to keep awake. For all those times when I panicked and hit the roof worrying about not being to buy materials on time,to finishing rendering on time, and you don’t need to do architecture to support. Nights when I’m hungry and I do have my instant noodles marathon at some point in the semester,and he’d drive all the way just to feed me with proper food wtf. My insanely hectic schedule somehow made it seem like his life revolves around my timing, he just respected everything that did. Thats extremely important to me. I love how he admires what I do and what I’m capable of doing as a person; he’s my best friend, my other half and my punching bag. There were also moments when I’m so unsure about my abilities whether my works gonna turn out awesome; this one man stood there and told me, you have everything it takes.

Just have a little more faith in yourself. You’ll be a great architect someday.

See Guan, Shereen and myself.

Thank you for loving me and always believing in me.

Mum & Dad.

Just to seal this post up,this would be one of the most memorable day in my life. Not for the day itself,but for how it may be somewhat of a check point to reassure yourself that you’ve done something right & accomplished them. If you knew me all the way back then,I guess you’ll get what I mean. Its as if I’m breaking even with the tragic past; a living proof that there is a refresh button that you’d need to push every couple of years.

There’s nobody in this world who knows you better than you know yourself. Don’t ever give up even when you’re told that you’re just some wild child who has parents with the ka-ching for you to live off their wealth. Everybody deserves a second chance in life, I’ve fought hard for mine; and I can definitely assure you; I’m happy now because all the hard work has paid off.

I’m even with you now; past.

Now that I look back and wonder,its sure been a long journey.
Its as if I’m shaking hands at a welcome to a new world graduating from the past. My debts are paid,and now what lies ahead is no longer gonna be done for anybody else.

Always know that a pretty face can only take you that far,but what brings you way up there is whats hot-wired deep inside you that would glow on its own. The sense of intimidation that you’d portray to both men and women can be way beyond your imagination. Fight to have a presence and a vibrant vibe that’d surround you always. It doesn’t take a fool to know when you meet someone like that.
Much love,cheerios.
