This Is It

Yeah, I know I am supposed to be studying but I couldn't resist watching the whole movie.. Michael Jackson, This Is It!..

Watch it and you will understand why he is indeed labeled the King of Pop, his dedication, his talent, his creativity.

Yay, submission is officially over for the whole entire semester!!!

Exams are next! It is on Tuesday to be exact and I haven't study anything at all.. Slacking now for the fact that I worked so hard for submission for the past few days...

Sprained my ankle yesterday at 4am.. Now my left and right leg is no longer similar but the left one is like an elephant leg..

I want to thank Huihua for actually taking time out of her busy rushing for submission schedule to accompany me to UHC to see the doctor..No sports for more than 1 month, sad!

Won't be going back to KL on the 9th of Dec as planned.. Will be back during Christmas week instead because got a place for a model-making job in a company somewhere in Singapore... So peeps, I will see you guys later than I think.. I will miss you guys!

An Official Update!

Design module is officially DONE! Slogged for a whole week to finish it up and ended up sleeping like a pig in Granny's place and slacked the whole day today... This semester, I got to admit that I learnt a lot of stuffs.. Sneak peak of my models...

So I slept for like 13 hours at granny's place and slacked the whole day: watching movie, playing bejeweled, Facebooking and so on...

An interesting house I found in the movie Nights in Rodanthe, I read the book so I had to watch the movie..

Wonder when will I ever get to live in a house like that by the beach with my prince charming?

Of course, with better maintenance so I won't need to keep worrying about the hurricane..

Been complaining so much lately.. A lot of things are happening that I don't know how to prioritize and handle.. My thoughts are messed up, my actions are messed up too, my words are not making sense anymore..

Architecture is treating me just fine... Another 1 more month!

I wanna go home! I want holidays!

It's been a long long time... Concert is over.. Sets did a fantastic job.. Concert itself was great.. Concert had always been the period of time during the semester where I shun myself away from the architecture world..

Architecture workload is catching up.. Just finished my interim crit today, guess it went well, I know I still got loads to do, so much more aspects to think about to improve on my design..I need to improve on my presentation skills, I always space out when it is my turn and ending up not presenting everything that I have to present.. Architecture, a demanding course indeed, but conceptualizing my idea into a building is getting more and more interesting by the day..

Pandan Reservoir is a nice place to go to in the midst of all the stress.. A trip there just to watch the sunrise is enough to make my day..The pictures are awesome.. It's amazing how most of the pictures even though it is inverted, it look perfectly fine because of the reflections.. Pandan Reservoir is a place where one can find tranquility in the midst of all the craziness of Singapore..A place so artificial but when you are there, you feel the as if you are indeed in nature.

Been working up at upper lounge these few weeks.. I am always amazed at how just sitting here, doing your assignments, cutting my cardboards, draw my neverending panels can foster such bonds with the people here.. Upper lounge is now like my second room in RH, I love hanging out with the people here..

And I feel so guilty that I've been neglecting S35 for so long.. Can't even remember when was the last time I actually sat down and fellowship with them.. Sometimes, when smses come in, I don't even have time to reply them to the extend that they will have to ask me again later in the day.. Sorry peeps, I will make up for that soon after my semester ends k??

Got a surprise email the other day as someone asked whether they can use the picture on my side bar of this blog, the picture with me staring out at the sea, for some purpose.. Check this out!

It's in German..How cool is that?

Another month and it will be time to go back home! I can't wait...

P/S: Tutor advised us to create a blog to display all our works up for comments.. I am wondering whether should I do it or not since I can't even sustain this blog itself...

OFFSCRIPT

OFFSCRIPT!! Concert is this weekend.. And I had been super busy that I can hardly recognise myself anymore and I am losing a sense of myself, I need time for myself..

Being Sets and Props head this year, I know that I am not a really good leader.. A lot of different settings told me that I am really not good at it yet.. I am super 'kan cheong' under pressures, I really hate it when things doesn't goes in the correct way, when my members disappoint me, I feel really reluctant to scold them, when I am doing de-briefing, I don't have the serious look and always end up laughing and smiling even though deep down inside I really want to tell them to take it to a level higher, I rather scold them myself than letting other people scold them, I am not observant enough, I am always losing things, I am doing last minute stuffs, I am not organize enough.. So many ways that I need to buck up in order for me to be an efficient leader..

It's been a long time since I blogged.. This is the longest I have ever abandoned my blog..Well, I had one draft about my bamboo project but I just can't seem to find time to continue doing it.. Hopefully I will be able to do it real soon.. So wait up for it k??

Don't think anyone actually reads this blog anymore because I don't find myself clicking on the link anymore..

Anyway, yesterday night was my 2nd night in studio doing assignments for other modules beside design module.. Rhino-ing, Ecotect-ing, rendering, simulating, essay writing.. Well, my dead line is until Friday 5pm, I still got a whole essay to type, a 5 mins video to make and I got no idea how to use iMovie on my macbook, and a 12 pages book to be layout-ed and printed. And yeah, sleeping is definitely on my list but it seemed to be of the least priority so far.. Sleeping is now a luxury no longer a need!

Rubberband

I am stressed! Haha.. IN every kind of way you can think of..I am like a rubber band, being pulled in everyway.. Anymore stress, I think it will reach the maximum elasticity state where I can't go back to the normal state..

Bamboo project.Sometimes I feel like a fool during group discussion, I can't think of anything brilliant to say, well not to say brilliant, just something useful to say so I end up sitting there listening, absorbing everything in. Sometimes the things I want to voice out had been voiced out by somebody else. Sometimes I realised that I am not thinking critically on how to solve the problem and can I blame it on Malaysia's education spoon feeding system that I had been through all these while? I am trying very hard to learn how to think out of the box every now and then, there seemed to be a little improvement but I think it will take some more time. Construction should start anytime this week, we must build the very thing by next thursday and I guess we got more than 300 joints to cut at least with precision and accuracy. So I pray that we can settle every discussion soon and start heading to the workshop. Well, I got to say I love being in this Studio Group that I am currently in, working together with them is fun, the laughter and jokes, the satay sticks cutting sessions, the serious discussions. I think I am finally learning how to like studio life.

Then whenever I get back into the room, the readings that piled on my desk freaks me out most of the time.. The SINGAPORE SOCIETY coursepack, the SUSTAINABLE ARCHITECTURE super chim readings are calling out to me to read through them..Yeah, I love reading, I love reading any other thing besides those READINGS.. Haha..I got a digital building to design using RHINO and until now, I am still a noob in it, I got loads of command to conquer but it is fun digital designing..

Hall activity, it is not really to the extreme yet, so I am kind of slacking still. A few meetings here and there. RH convocation dinner coming up next week and I haven't design the welcome board for it yet. I got badminton training 2 times in a week, but I kind of enjoy it so I guess it isn't that stressful even though I feel really reluctant to go everytime it is training. Haha.

1 Corinthians 10:13 (New King James Version)

¹³ No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear it.

I am holding and proclaiming this verse because I truly believe that God put me through all these trials knowing that I can take it and in the process, I will have fun (well, I am having fun now even though I am stressed), learn new exciting things and grow in HIM.
