♥Last Day... Forever♥

My bad for not updating AT ALL for ages!!!

Had sooo much going on, and finally it has come to an end, for a new beginning...

Handed in the final project smoothly, sort of, and it finally hits me that I won't be worrying bout uni deadlines, getting the right fabric, or even waking up for classes!!!

Oh well, I thought I should write something today, before I go off to London later~~~!!!

Meeting B in 12 hours time, gonna rest in London for a bit before we jet off to Greece with Grace and Sally!!!!!! YEEPIEEE!!!! 

Been looking forward for this day since long long long time ago... Will definitely blog bout my dream trip when I get back ^__^ just to make you guys feeling a bit jealous... hahaha

Managed to get the remaining coursemates that were still lingering around in the studio for a quick snap~~~ You can see my table at the corner on the right! ^__^

Me with my final garment, the Amorphous Dress! The ruffle strip didn't turn out the way it supposed to be, wrong fabric choice i guess >__<

But I'm still loving the cutout holes~~~~

The three of us, with our beloved friend of 4 years~~~

Feels kinda weird when we were submitting the work, wonder whether we would feel even weirder during our graduation... hmmm...

Okay, gotta go off and get ready for the journey... See you all later~~~ *muaks*

♥AMORPHOUS♥

Past few days, I've been getting my hands into 

sketching, drawing, putting ideas together, sampling 

and it goes on and on and on...

This design project is due in a week! *EEK!!!*

still got sooo much to do, but quite excited bout how it'll turn out~~~

this is sort of my first attempt doing things this way,

cause i'm somehow being known as the asian lil' kid

with simple-looking designs, but somehow hard-ass to construct >_<

i bet the technicians just LURVE me... Ha ha ha...

Promostyl has always been THE book to look at

 before u start any designs!

no wonder they cost hell lot for each season >_<

took inspirations from some of the informations in Promostyl,

decided to go mineral, organic, AMORPHOUS is the word...

Did a quick modeling on the stand with some sampling I did...

mind the crap bodice, it's just a pile of calico on the dummy, 

don't want dummy to go naked in front of the camera *shy*

I was THAT close to loosing my toolbox today in ZARA,

don't wanna elaborate, but I had a panic attack and I was gonna vomit!

It's such a posh black leather case, I know it's lovely, 

but please don't ever disappear again.

I NEED YOU!

_________________________________________________

Finally, get to skype with B after what seems like ages...

CNY must be so busy back home for him to be this busy *jealous*

Spending CNY in uk, definitely not the first for me..

but it has always makes me wanna be home >_<

I love dressing up and going to different places with mom and dad

I love the lion dances and hearing them from miles away

I love seeing my cousins and friends, gossiping and shopping

of course, I love the ang pau-ssssss as well! who doesn't!

I was home last year and managed to spend CNY as well

but it was so different, compared to before I left to UK

Very different, from when Grandma was still around

I still get a bit emotional when it comes to her

I bet I'm not the only onee.

Miss you popo,

Love you forever.

♥

___________________________________________________________

As mentioned before,

I'm actually still on skype with B

but B is still in bed... hehee...

it's already 11am back home! WAKE UP!

It's funny sometimes, to see B toss and turn in his sleep

*don't hear me wrongly, I DO NOT stare at the window and look at him sleeping*

Just every now and then... hahaha

B is just too adorable! 

No wonder I love him so much  ♥

★Neverending★

Been making a Balenciaga dress and finally handed in the garment and technology file last Friday. Been working on it since the term started, been in uni practically on every available days, and yet, I still didn't manage to finish everything on the criteria... I missed one out of the many... >___< 

but it was a big burden off my shoulders.... with a design deadline on the same day as well, everyone was stressing out *EEEK!!*

And people would have thought, handed this garment in and finally we could relax...

*WRONG!*

straight away we have a new design brief... and also 2 outfits to make!!! even though they are only due in early next term... but still!!!! >___<  

oh! not to mention that we have this Anthropometric assignment which we have 3 essays to write.....

hm... ok ok.. this blog is getting a bit stressful and boring...... 

let's get on to something more interesting~~~ 

my birthday is coming up~~~~~~~ can't be bothered to think of a new way of celebrating my birthday... so am just gonna stick to the traditional way, that's getting wasted!!!

booked a place for my party, so all my friends can just come and enjoy getting drunk ^__^ let's just hope that there's someone to carry me home.... *fingers crossed*

★unusual life of von's★

Why is it unusual? hmm.... let's see...

von has been going to uni everyday... except sat and sun....

von has been going to uni even though there are no classes anyway...

von has been staying back in uni till the technicians shooed her and her friends away so they can close up...

von has brought lunch box to uni for the very first time... cause she's sick with eating uni's food everyday *and they are expensive as well*

does that sound unusual? it is for von... must be the final year fever that people had been warning her about

von knows she should have blogged more often... not that she's tooo busy to go online... she's never too busy for FB!

and don't get her wrong about the uni = home issue... 

she still went out for Halloween night out (under the persuasion of Grace's)

she still went to some of those chinese parties...2 of them, to be specific

she even went to Notts games last sat!

OK.. photos....I'm not gonna put everything onto this post... it's pretty l

ate... 1am... ok...not THAT late... but I'm waking up early to fight for Comme Des Garcons in H&M!!!!!! and then back to uni for more work..*pathetic* 

so i need all the energy I can have...

These are from Operation Christmas Child, where we packed some gifts in a shoebox to be sent to some of the poorest kids in the world... i got her coloring books, crayons, soft toy, sweets etc....

Haven't been feeling this contented for a while... felt so good by the end of the night ^___^ hope a girl in some corner of the world would love my box of gifts!!!

★干物女★

It has been 4 weeks since I've been back in uni now....It's not like I didn't have time AT ALL to update my blog, but it just didn't occur to me that ther

e is a need to anymore... hm... not sure why I'm feeling that...

I had been awfully ill for over a week. 

I couldn't speak, I couldn't eat, I couldn't sleep.

Because I've had sore throat, and had been coughing, till I would cry and vomit.

Thank goodness I'm much better now...Only got cough left...

I have my voice back, although it's not as sweet as before still. 

I could finally eat real food! Not that Grace's and Sally's porridge weren't good... ^__^

With me being sick, I barely go out, other than to uni and work... (I know, can't believe I still have to work at that state) Now, I've been branded anti-social by my brother...LOL...Yvonne? anti-social? that doesn't go....>___<

I would say I'm more of a 干物女, kinda mean Staying home girl.

Now, I enjoy staying home more...

I get to Skype with B...

I get to go into cyber space...

I would do house chores now and then...

I get to cook more...(not that I'm that good a chef, at least I get to practice ^^)

Oh, how can I not mention that I just love doing all those projects and uni work HA HA HA HA HA........

But I enjoyed little outing sessions, 

like dinner with Bim, Lex and the rest for Lex's bday...

Out and about in town with Grace and Sally...(they 

are my two coursemates, I practically see them everyday)

Grace and Yuchieh had been staying at mine for a while, Sally and Ricky too... We get to go to uni on the first day together... go to the Chinese party at M2 together... gosh, it felt like boarding school...LOL

This pic was taken in the lift at my flat on our first day to uni, with Sally and Grace ^^

Oh, and my twin brothers turned 21 a while ago.... This is a cake that I've got for Jee on his bday night...

★FINALLY★

During my Birmingham day out, I made B check my student emails for me...

And so, I found out that I've got an interview with Jo-Y-Jo next morning!!!

was nervous and excited...

And when I've finally gotten back home after those stupid 5 hours coach ride (thanks to the driver who couldn't find his way),

I checked my emails again, and guess what!!!

Hi Yvonne,

You have now been transferred (as of today) onto the final year of the CDT degree.

I have spoken to your year tutors who will be expecting you on Friday at 9 am in room 50.

Looking forward to welcoming you on the course!

Kind regards

Nathalie

So I think that's it for my interview....and it's time to celebrate!!! and of course, retail therapy!!! *wink*

P/S: for those who knew me really well, you all would have known how much this meant to me *jumping around*
