I opened my eyes, last night, and saw you in the low light
Walking by the bay, on the shore
Staring up at the planes that aren't there anymore
You happened to look, and see, the tunnels all around me
Running into the dark underground

Been saying eto... instead of uhhs and erms and stuff like that. So, it's good in a way that the 'uhs and erms' counter for Oral Communications can't count it. Eto is not on the list! That's great.

Eto... (Lol, there I go again) I've been relaxing of late. (Relax in term time is equal to slack, at least in architecture. NOW DON'T GET ME STARTED.) I had a great time with Vin and Addison today. Never been so relaxed. I just let go of everything. Including primer 2, which my brain spends most its spare time thinking of designs to put in the hub.

Like now. -squeals-
Thursday, July 30, 2009

Damn sian, tired and screwed. :D
Tuesday, July 28, 2009

Since I'm seriously fucked up now, and extremely fucking screwed over my Primer 2. (Wow, can't believe it.)

I'm going to MIA 2 weeks, until submisson. Fuck it right. 2 weeks and I haven't even finish my conceptual model. I haven't cleared it, documented (fuck documentation again and again and a thousand times over. WHY DOES IT HAVE TO BE SO MUCH. I'll be damned if I have to document again why this is like this, and why that looks like that. Or or, this this this, that that that. Fuck no. But since it's so bloody important. Screw it.) my new conceptual, and then send it for clearing by the lecturers.

AND THEN, I'LL HAVE TO MAKE A BIGGER ONE (and so, the cycle starts again, only with the new horror included, powerpoint presentation). All these have to be done by next Monday or I can simply take the shortcut. Drop dead and die.

Lul no la. All rants.
Thursday, July 23, 2009

Ohmygod. New massing, new model, new documentation, new process sketches. All needs to be done.

No time, no time, no time. /:

How can I finish something more in less than half the time?

Tsk, but life won't be anything without challenges, wouldn't it?
Tuesday, July 21, 2009

What can you see, what can you not see?

What do you realise, and what do you not realise?

What are the problems already underlying, covered up, hidden for a long period of time already?

What do you know, how much do you know?
Monday, July 20, 2009

Today I submitted my model, with some parts missing. Like the process sketches. Tsk. Drat it.
Sunday, July 19, 2009

True friends do not treat you as though you have an expiry date, and you will never 'discarded' because you've 'outlived' your 'usefulness' or simply because 'your time is up'.
Saturday, July 18, 2009

If I seem to be disappearing, probably means submission soon.

Like now.

I should be like, doing my model, but I'm stuck again. Sigh. When will my good inspirations come. I'm just filling the spaces up with weirdo designs that doesn't flow. Like wtf random, and like wtf looks wrong.

I'm so gonna die. Tsk, at least I can chiong my final model after this I.Crit with zillions of better ideas (I hope). :D
Friday, July 17, 2009

I'm like screwed. Submission's on Monday 9am.

Now I'm still stuck with 7 cubes more to finish, and then I'd have to do my portfolio, essay, powerpoint and prepare for interim crit. (Meaning I need to learn self-defense techniques)

I can't believe I spent so much time catching up with Dilyon, Oleo and Unholy. Gosh. A year plus of not being in contact, it was all laughs, and it was worth the laughs, at least. "D
Monday, July 13, 2009

Gosh. Just finished my massing today, and Poh told me to do the concept model in 1:50 scale by tomorrow.

And I bloody said yes! And that I WILL STAY UP THE WHOLE NIGHT TO DO IT, AND EVEN AGREED THAT IT IS 'JIALAT' IF I CAN'T FINISH IT BY TOMORROW.

Oh man, I'm screwed. Plus he said one word: 'Good'. Never had such a word haunted me.

How can you turn nothing into something (that you can submit, probably not much changes going to be done already) in less than 4 hours? Including making the whole bloody model? My massing took a week! A WHOLE BLOODY WEEK.

But if, the chances of 0.1 (to the power of a billionth) % happens, I'd be able to impress him big time. :D Now, that's good. If that's ever going to happen.

Jub alerted me to something someone did, and I've washed my hands off her long time ago. So I guess it doesn't matter. The longer time you hang around the person, the more hurt and pain you will experience.

A person who behaves like that is probably not a friend, and probably will stab you in the back and step you when you're down. Yes, yes, she probably still has friends, probably still blinded/ has turned a blind eye to her actions.

What goes around comes around, and I don't think I'll even bother to sit around to watch that happen.

I got the invite for the bursary's interview. Now all I've got to do is to be there on time, (screw it, I gotta take time off work) and score a win for that!

If I get that, 2.5k's off my school fees! That's quite some bit of money! :D
Tuesday, July 7, 2009

Shucks, I really hope I can make the bursary. News ought to come around soon. Afterall, interviews start on the 11th. I'd drop everything and go there.

Even if I missed it, I guess its still alright (to a certain extent). I can always score damn well for this year, and make the goddamn scholarship next year.

And WC, if you ever read this, don't ever lose hope alright? For one, even if god hates you, you have FRIENDS who won't. I believe we will be there whenever you need us. Just give us a ring, or drop a message if you're feeling down.

Just contact us, and we'll be there. No questions asked, and no doubt about it.

The great thing about youth day is, when you go to polytechnic, it doesn't frigging exist anymore. So screw that! Not youths anymore.

Call me an adult. Cos I don't celebrate youth day anymore.

Haha, I was just releasing some insane bit of me ranting on youth day. But I am serious about the part in which you call me an adult. :D (P.S I know the reason there's no youth day, I think. But I can't seem to find a way to justify that.)

There's so many things a busy adult has to do. For example, I've got to work on my projects. Plus I have to work and... Screw the rest. If I have to spell it out so clear, then it loses its meaning.

Sometimes some can't see what freedom they have, and well, the freedom (or not) is given to them is to be treasured. Freedom has many definitions to many different people. So, what's yours?

Ah screw it. I've got to go do research now.
Friday, July 3, 2009

I'm making notes of how many holidays SP eats up.

So far it's Vesak Day and Youth Day.

Goddamnit we're still youths okay.

And whoever who's stalking Vin. Screw you. Lay off my cookie mobber.

I'm so happy I bought something? Haha a little guilty too.

But whatever, I slogged long and hard for days at work. This is a little treat that I ought to indulge in. :D

A new bag and a top!

What is your True Fear?
Your Result: Losing Someone

You love affection and the people in your life more than anything. Your greatest fear is that one day someone you care about won't be there anymore. You are a very friendly and inviting person, who draws in a lot of friendships with your kind, considerate, and loyal nature. However, deep down you are slightly insecure and unsure of yourself. You couldn't deal with it if you didn't have one of your loved ones in your life anymore. You don't have too much to worry about though, because with a friend like you, no one will want to lose you either!

I don't know if it's true.

In sudden realisation that I actually have a phobia.

Haha. By some dumb luck, I slept till 11.15pm today. :D Darn shiok! Haven't slept so long since my jetlag the last time I went to States.

Mm, all is not joy. -.- I have to research on dead people. History's all right when it doesn't involve artists and art works. I have a reason why I did not take art.

Let's see:

-Research on Piet Mondrain and Wassily Kadinsky. (Then select one for in-depth research)
-HTA homework. (Shush)

Curses. Well, at least I'd be preoccupied with something.


I want to go shopping! But nobody's free and I don't want to ask somebody else because it'll be just anybody. I might as well ask everybody instead if that's the case.
