warning: very long winded post ahead! proceed with caution.

what a long day! my first class was at 10.30 this morning. not a bad time to start the day in campus, eh? class was quick and painless. and by that i don't mean it ended early or anything, i just meant that it wasn't boring and i didn't feel it drag on and on. which is a plus point in my book.

next class was at 2 PM, which meant i had two hours to myself. i originally planned to spend it catching up with my readings in the library, but after half an hour there, i just got extremely bored and distracted with the songs i'm listening to on my iPod nano (current fave: Karena Wanita by Ada Band) so i decided to go to the lab instead and check my e-mails and friendster.

i passed by the canteen on my way there. scanned the crowd for familiar faces but found none. felt sad :(

when i settled my butt down in the lab, was pleasantly surprised to see i got friendster comments from Jasmine and my old friend Faliq (whom i haven't seen in years). was not happy that i got about 20 unread mails in my Yahoo inbox (fs notices, CU newsletters...). some were dated a few days old, but i wasn't notified on my Yahoo messenger. i've been online the whole bloody week! (but "invisible" lah...huhu)

got inside J lab ten minutes before class starts. lecturer harped on me for wearing sandals to workshop, so i had to go home and change to my sneakers. it completely escaped my mind to wear sneakers/footwear that covers feet well today :( that was my first time kena tegur for that.

anyway, we had a practical assignment for the day: produce advertisement for footwear (lecturer provided the footwear: two pairs of slippers, one pair of sneakers and a pair of football shoes/boots/whatever). my group got one pair of the slippers. we had the idea to promote the slippers as slip-proof, so our concept was like this: CID is chasing thief, they got to a puddle of water. thief managed to skid over puddle without falling down, but CID dude slipped. thief pwns. both of them were wearing slippers, btw.

during the shooting, we kena tegured three times by the lecturer. the first time because camera was facing the sun, and the second time because we asked an ordinary student to perform actions meant for a professional stunt actor. third time because we were almost late in reporting back to class (before 5 pm).

when Jessie and me went to canteen to recruit actors for the assignment, we met Tim. that was our first time seeing that woman in campus since semester started. sarcastic comments along the lines of "omigawd, you're still ALIVE!" was passed all around (ok, ok, so it was only me who said that). turns out she just got back to Miri last weekend. or something. she was lookin' cute with that hat today. Tim, Min curik topi tu boleyy??

my next class was at 5.30. as i was going out of the J lab after class was over, Lionel asked me if i was going to the meeting tonight. i was like "what meeting?" then he pointed out this notice at the notice board in front of our lecturer's office. "urgent meeting for all media students on wednesday, 7.30 pm. attendance compulsory." (ok, so the notice was longer than that, but that was the only thing i remembered). hmm...very vague. and very scary. were we in trouble? since the meeting was at night, i offered to send Lionel home after, so that at least i'll have company while driving. even for a little while.

so after that little episode, i went to canteen to get a drink. i think. i don't remember. i do remember bumping into Ezzy and hanging out with her before class starts. lecturer was a riot as usual. we were supposed to finish at 7, but there was another class at 6.30 using that room so it ended early.

with an hour to kill before meeting starts, Ezzy and me thought we could hang out at g2 until 7.30 rolls around. but as it is, the building was freakin' COLD so we went to canteen instead. where we reminisced about the time when we were kids together, and being eaten alive by mosquitoes at the same time. hate mosquitoes.

ten minutes before meeting, Iqbal joined us and we all went back to g2 together. we were the first ones in the classroom. two by two, other students start arriving, and they all bombard Iqbal with questions "what is this meeting about? really compulsory meh? who made that notice?". kesian bah Iqbal... he's not in charge of the meeting, he didn't make the notice, so he doesn't actually have all the answers to the questions.

but the person responsible for the notice and the meeting soon made her appearance so she cleared everything up and eventually everyone quieted down. it turned out to be an interesting meeting because the media Press Club is supposed to set up booth for the coming Curtin Open Day and the committee members needed suggestions on what we could do that day. there were a lot of interesting ideas being passed around, and i can't wait for Open Day :) i just hope i won't have to man the booth. i know that sounds terribly 'unpatriotic' of me, but when it comes to events like that, i don't like being stuck in one place when there is SO much to see, feel and hear. this happened to me before during high school when i was in charge of the booth for my club. i felt incredibly restless.

so anyway, by the end of the meeting we had a list of several suggestions that we felt were doable for Open Day. the list is going to be reviewed (or something) by the organising committee (or someone) , and they will have the last say on what we can do ( i think). hopefully we'd get to do a really good one. am looking forward to the Day :)

meeting ended at 9 something, so i sent Lionel home after that. it was nice to have him as company just now. i haven't had the chance to really catch up with him since semester started, even though we're in the same FTV class.

reached home at about 9.30. i hate driving at night. i can't see well, and those lights from the other cars are blinding.

so yeah, that was how my day went. how was yours?
