Episode: EXIT launched
Friday, July 11, 2008

This happened on a Friday.Knowing that the class arrangement was changed, I came to school looking for the post-it that has my name on one of the table. I searched it and my table is located in between Syafiq and Tricia and opposite to Glenn and Yikai. I like the arrangement. This was how my view look like.

The class was as per normal. I did my Rhino and saved it to STL for cutting. The programme for cutting my model is called Mayka model. Everything was done, except for the cutting path. That was when I had to go home and go for my prayers. I left my A3 file and my bag which contains my laptop behind.

I walked to the mosque, and after that, I walked back home. I changed my clothes and got back to the studio at 3. I wore something smart and formal. I do not know why, but I feel like wearing it. My hair was combed neatly too..haha. Whats wrong with me? I do not know.

I was there waiting for EXIT to start, and while I was there, the class was much much more noisy. It was chaos.


Well, it was awfully quiet when they went to the gym and Glenn and Ivan was missing. They went to purchase drinks for EXIT. When they came back together with Syafiq, I saw 3 cartons of Bundaburg root beer. Awesome! Since it was for the EXIT, they had to tie the EXIT sign on the caps of each drink. I helped out.

Soon, EXIT started. Edwin gave us a short presentation on what EXIT was all about. To me, it was cool when he said EXIT= EXperienceIT. Where did that come from? Anyways he says that EXIT is the beginning of the end. In talks like these, the energy should come for the students. Any special workshops like ceramic making or the skills of copic marker rendering would be held at EXIT. Edwin would try and find people who could do such things recommended by the students, bring them over and set up another EXIT. Since he mentioned it, I would love to know more about copic marker rendering.

Lim Honfay came soon after. He was the winner for the furniture design award. It was a honor to have him. Especially on the launch of EXIT. Well, soon, the drinks were distributed by Ivan and myself. The reception was great, a lot of people came, from year1 and year2 DXPD, my lecturer, a couple of people form NAFA and a couple of non-design lecturers came too. Honfay introduced about himself, and then he goes on about his works. But, most of the persentation, he talked about money in life. To him, designers are meant to be poor. Unless, you are those celebrity designer like Mr.Starck. Not Tony Stark the Ironman, but Phillipe Starck. The EXIT ended of with some question and answer. Overall, EXIT was awesome! Wish to have more of it, or should I call it EXit..haha.

When it ended, I had to rush off to my grandma's house as there was an event with all my cousins, aunts and uncles there. It was to say prayers to my late great grandmother. I was walking towards my grandma's house at around 8.30. In the mean time, I called up my gal to talk to her on the phone and at the same time accompany me. The path towards my grandma's house, though it was not far from my school, was kind of dark. My gal's voice lit the way.

When I came, I had to settle the feast with my cousins, the ladies side. In tradition, the guys would eat first, since I came late, ate with all the ladies. There was so much awesome food that night, I went full after eating.


At around 11, I was on the way home with my mom and two sisters. By the time I got home, I was knocked out.
