ok i conclude.........too much good food leads to stomach flu guys
After more than a week of hk and macau...probably abit too much egg tarts...i came bk to singapore with a tummy ache. Thank goodness with the "courtesy upgrade" to business class, my journey was A OK while my bf happily drank Champagne, red wine with a 3 course dinner whilst enjoying the wider longer seat of course.

Sorry for not blogging often. I mearnt too. But sometimes i'm just too tired. I had to pack jus hours before the trip to hk.

Hk is becoming like a routine. The places to eat, shop and hang out. And once in a while try new places a things. Which we definitely did this trip. More so actually is the gathering of friends, something in the weather or in the cantonese, we laugh we relax. bless

Macau is all abt the buildings. Some are so out of this world the sight of it will make u laugh and think you are in a movie. Seriously? they spend money on this? It all about the interiors. Which encapsulates you in a different world from the outside. The fine texture is worth exploring though.

of worries and worry nots

theres always something comforting abt the end of the year. Mb its the anticipation of an holiday or the year is coming to an end signifying a new beginning….of sorts, or the fact that there are plenty of public holidays ard the corner.

Life as a designer in a corporate world is brain- numbing.

It takes the fun out of designing and alas, the most important, the ‘play’ out of the process. But still certain things I’ve learnt to deal with and a many certain things i’ve learnt to draw. Under a you-should-just start-your-own-firm-la team leader whose looks will mislead you to believe that he’s not as senior as he is, you learn from his patience but sometimes hopes he can be a bit less bounded by restrictions, clients and money. He has so much more to offer. Amidst a resignation, a cramp desk space and the enormous amount of paper (which I will recycle as wrapping paper..hehe), I still wake up every morning, hopeful.

The end of the year signifies another thing: application. Education. The fear and the uncertainty. The what if’s and what if nots. Although it does feel like a breath of fresh air coupled with a sigh of relief.

Any preconceived idea that working life is any easier is easier thrown out of the window.

It is still very much like school with less control from you. But when all else fails, just like sch you have your friends to complain too and depend on.

And its green....

If only the office has anything close to this. Nah

but at least the project i'm working on is the zoo....haha

field trip: ION...............

this is my fav part..the escalators

Tale of the little red shoe

Jus another day in the life of yours truely.....

ok enough with the emo-ness

And I still think of myself as a kid…..

It never did occur to me that graduation could be a big event. But I guess they are right to say that the decisions you make within this few years will change your life. As I stood behind the red line, Erwin gave me his signature grin. I felt a little embarrassed. Although I did not graduate with flying colours I see the joy in my parents, whom they themselves never completed high school, throughout the day. They really wanted this day to happen. Alas I didn’t disappoint. I started to miss everyone.

Maybe I’m a bit too predictable; in my adolescent years if I have been capricious I would have been given two tight slaps, hence I became more cautious. I wonder if I would have been a more creative person if not for my upbringing. Maybe I would have taken the road less travelled. Wait. Architecture is a road less travelled by most people.

As Auntie Nat puts it “... you are shy you know….” Yeah I guess.

So long farewell, auf weidersehen good-bye Marta

I hate to go and leave this pretty sight

So long farewell, auf weidersehen adieu

FreidrichAdieu, adieu, to you and you and you

So long farewell, auf weidersehen good-bye Marta

I hate to go and leave this pretty sight

So long farewell, auf weidersehen adieu

FreidrichAdieu, adieu, to you and you and you......

Thank you all for being there and supported me through it all.

My family, my dear friends.....

The many studio meals at the foyer bench, the staying over, the hanging of computers, the waiting at scalebar, the endurance of endless studio sessions............

What is most precious is the many many friends i have made that will last a lifetime.

Muacks

See you guys soon

I think everyone is at least remotely interested in architecture at a certain point in their lives. What if the point of time happens right after ur A levels. Den you go on and choose Architecture as ur course of study? Oddly i feel like taking a marketing/advertising course. Not much of a reason , just a sudden urge i guess. hehe

Windows open and closes. Everything will not happen at a perfect moment. But its ok! I'm not sure what i got myself into with this decision. But time will tell. I had to make some sacrifices for my long-term personal development i guess.

we had a pretty good time. met some interesting pple and sold stuffs

exhausted at the end of the day

cant thank molly and jy enough. thanks man.

shux's friends and chin wei too....

and to those who didnt make it...owell wat can i say......but "thanks anyway"

Poor "vivocity" kena slam until cannot be revived.

Didnt want to end it all like tt but owell

..................................................................................

i dun think i have cried so much after a crit.
i dunno whether is disappointment of the project, discouragement frm the crit or saddness that its the last semester and it will almost be the last time i will see my dear friends that i have spent 4 years with. Dear Yanghan actually shed a tear when she realise she wun be seeing me around anymore. Awww
i'm disheartened on my bdae as i turn 23 and my emotional capacity is definitely bigger than a teaspoon.

*CATS was gd: great dance great songs
.................................................................................

such a cloudy day.

such an awful submission day

such a bad way to end it all

such a feeling of underachievement

Amidst all the submission frenzy. You tube and television has been keeping me company.
I must say this american idol is really good and his good looks dun hurt either. Do u knoe he was an understudy in the the musical Wicked in LA. Argh...sorry girls he's reportedly gay. Great vocals nonetheless. Enjoy!

The power couple. Yes it is true the satorialist scott is dating Garance dore . Garance has a fantastic blog like scott himself, with her own photographs and great illustrations.! How i wish i could draw like her!

On a side note, jia's panel will look amateur this semester ( wats new?). Argh

I heart photoshop.

sorry for the lack of post.

sliced my thumb with the can of tomato soup yesteday night.

After a minute of consult with the tutor ( my shortest ever) i cant believe i'm goin to graduate soon and be labelled unemployed. haha

o seaweed seaweed.

Boy i never thought u will be the source of my mentalblock ( or inspiration ).

Cramp cramp cramp, no i'm not talking abt my period, its the urge to hurry get the design settled. tutors are nuts. I want to slp.

Note: we shd have dinner altogether soon....tsktsk

Wanton Mee anyone?

I think i'm supposed to panick.

This semester , other for the fact that i'm studio rep, is just so different from last semester with Jo. ( Jia you everyone in crit rm 1)

Yet the with all the studio drama, we have a big big picture but no archtecture.

I not too sure which i prefer.

Anyways, 6789 is taking up my time. Has always have a love to make things like tt. So many things to think about even though we are nt selling anything yet. hahha

This semester is odd. I only have to be in school for two days. Its abit out of the norm but its ok i guess. I do make an effort to come to school even if theres nothing to do, technically i dun have to coz i could do my stuff at home. But sometimes i dun think is matters. Everyone is so shattered and everywhere. The sad thing is: this is the final semester.

Hello studio........................model!

Welcome. So happy for you guys!

ooo...cute right...

after throwing my fake frm shanghai a month ago i'm being looking for a light casual weekend bag. But i think this is WAY off my budget. But i guess i'll still share with u all. :)
