Hooray! Finally my most dreaded paper's over. One more paper on Saturday and I'm a free man! Heee..
Had my History exam yesterday. I've only started like 2 days before the paper. Super Stress. Am totally cluesless what was learnt during history lesson.. retribution from skipping lectures. Got a friend architect to give me a crash course on Gothic. Amazing how he managed to summarise everything I need to know about the movement in 1 hour. Must really thank him for that. Thank you! Save me alot of trouble from reading that big chunk of readings that at the end I might not even understand at all. You cannot imagine the amout of notes we have.. Its bascially just THICK.
Tips were given for what's to come out during exam. Should have stick to the tips that lecturers gave and just MEMORISE hard the key ideas. The tips turn out to be the direct questions been asked. AHHHH... Jia li hai de wo studied more that what the tips that's mentioned.. I mean how would I know the lecturers are so damn kind hearted. There's always the what if.. Anyway.. If not for the SS paper.. I would have so much more time to prepare for history.. and maybe score well for it.. Sob Sob.. its turn out to be an easy paper... and I screwed up.. Lets hope what I wrote is enough.. give me a B please.. *pray pray* another C and my caps gonna plung big time..
After History paper, I head off home, it was my Mummy's BD. Need to be guai. heee. also, dear's at my home waiting for me. (Dear stayed over and we studied together) Went home for lunch, after which parted with dear for his heading to NTU to continue mugging. As for me.. heee.. I went for a little window shopping wth my little sister to Vivo. A breather before I start to mug for the BU.
It was my 1st visit to Vivo. Ok, its huge.. Shouldn't had wore high heels.. my feet hurts half way through.. I love the outdoor roof deck landscaping areas, ideal place for family day's out. BUT, other than that, I hate the rest. Not gonna elaborate why.. I think my archi ppl will know what I'm talking about.. Anycase, pic of me and sis taken at deck level. Love the Sun set.

I admit, I cant leave without my dear. I have to see him. So, I suggested going over to NTU to study with my dear yesterday. and of course dear said yes. So there I was in one of the library (no idea which 1), some where near EEE department, and was studying at 10am . Amazing! I would still be sleeping have I not met Dear.
Its real cosy, individual desk compartment, with comfy chairs, nice carpeted floor, super cold air-conditioned, and dear near me studying, what more can I ask for. Heee. Food's good too. Had my entire day's meal in NTU. Breakfast was roti prata. Well, its O-K, would taste better had the aunty not cut my prata. I assumed its for our convinence, but it defits the whole purpose of eatting prata, that is to tear it with my fingers. I personally thought it taste much bettter that way too. Then I had teriyaki beef bento set for lunch. It cost me 5 bucks. But its worth it. BIg serving for fragrance rice, tempura, tofu, big slice of watermelon, and juicy beef. Yummy. Dear got the teriyaki chicken bento set. I thought that taste even better. hee. My beef's kind of tough to my liking. In any case, everything taste SO SO SO much better than what we had in NUS.. We stayed till 8pm plus before calling it a day. Dear had his dinner- salmon and chips. I was too full from lunch, so ordered only a desert.
Dear and I parted at Jurong East. Upon reaching Clementi, I met up with JieLin to collect my tops I've waited so long for. Hee.. (the parcel had arrive earlier today) But to my dispare, the colths aint as what I've expected. I tried them uopn reaching home, One was tight so I gave that to my sis (lucky she's fine with it), the other one was a failure, the cutting and colour is so off, and its too big. So I've offically condemed that website. and also to never believe what I see on line. Nothing bets old conventional shopping method.

Yes.. Its history discussion yet again in school on Sunday. Luckily this is the final, submission is tomorrow. Anyway, my Sunday feels like a monday already. You see ppl in studio working in studio. Maybe abnormal for others, but its totally normal in Archi, sad but true.. haiz.. Candid shots taken by L.H with my phone.Looks cute. Hee.
Spent another weekend without my dear around. Hm.. think am getting used to it. Does this means I'm more independent now? anyway need to miss dear less, makes me super depress when ever I miss Dear and to know that his too busy to affort any time for me.. as always.

Barely survived today kickboxing. Should have woke up earlier for my breakfast before going. Had Char Kwae Tiao for lunch and there goes my 1 hour of hardwork. Haa.. cant help it, too tasty to resist.
Had my HR open book exam on Wednesday. Im totally unprepared for it. I slept the entire night. Am too tired from the late nights before. But it wasnt as tough as expected. At least it would be a passing mark. *fingers cross* Anyway, my paper ended about 4 plus. Since its still early, Me and Layhar went to IMM for a little window shopping. Had Ajisen desert. Yummy Yummy. The green tea-red bean-mua chee & sweet coconut source combi is SUper. Its pretty expensive for the small serving though.
Thurday I had history discussion in School. We were supposed to go National Lib for research. But we ended up forgoin the idea. Me and Layhar headed to Bugis any way as one of our member Y.Q was already there waiting. We decided to shop instead. An excuse to compensate for causing Y.Q to wait. Had Sakae for dinner and me and Layhar were off to Watched Death Note @ marina Sq with another group of Uni pals. I'm addicted to its anime now. The characters are not any where near handsome but I love the plot anyhow, cleverly crafted. I liKe. Hee.
Friday was suppose to be yet another discussion for my History essay dued this coming Monday. But we ended up singing in K Box. The thought of doing it just bores everyone i guess. at least for me.
Come to think of it. i haven been studying at all. The pass few days is all play. Wahaa.. I guess after design submission nothing else matters ba. It feels like post-holiday now. About time to start my engine now. Had to do my essay soon, infact now.. got to send it over to Y.Q tonight to compile.
Dear's having exam too. Would have to wait for another 2 weeks before we get to meet again. The last time we met was like 1-2 weeks ago.. I could hardly recall. anyway it seems like a long time. Hardly any call or msg from him.. Haiz.. Do hope exam be over asap.. Feeling left out now..

Just had another sleepless night finishes up my final model for this morning critique. I am the 1st presenter of the day. HOw lucky can I get. I managed to completed model by 5am. Nap for an hour plus and I'm up again preparing for school.
Crit was So-so.. Was praised how nice my presentation layouts are.. blah blah blah. I'm sick of hearing those comments again and again.. telling me how wonderful my drawings are don't exactly help in my design.. Anyway, I dont see how wonderful it look, to me its just pure no brainer cad drafting with well assigned line weights. Simple as that. Do hope to hear praises on my design instead.
Any way, I sort of fare badly regarding architecture aspect of my design.. tutors commented on some fundamental mistakes I've made, being too blind with what I was doing. My concept wasn't strong enough too, everything's not coming together as a whole. I was bombarded with comments for what seems like ages. But it was a fruitful session. Learnt alot bout my mistakes.
So here I am now, home. I'll be having HR exam tomorrow which I had yet to study!.. In no mood to start at all. Instead, I'm hook to online shopping these few days. Its addictive. Just placed order for some really Kawaii tops. Hee..

I had a major design submission on Thurday. It was chaos-maddness the days/hours counting down to my Thu 5pm deadline. Seriously. I was stuck infront of the pc day and night in my study room for days. I ate there, slept in too. Guess the only time I got out was to the bath room. Then again, I did not really put in my 100% in my work. I was either staring blankly, dazing infront of the screen, or side tracking to Youtube, if not I would go for a short nap which inturn become a long night sleep.. Sometimes I just dont get myself. So short of time, yet still finding ways to slack..
It was on Tuesday night that I started to feel the need to rush my work. Before then all I had was plans.. super slow and dead. There was sections elevations, detail, photoshop and layout, physical model to do.. I had given up hope of doing a 3D model.. I got to be realistic, I am short of time. Still, I wasn't sure that I could possibly finish the rest. Any case, I gear up to my cadding mode. I cadded 'stuff'. Haa. What I meant was I din really know what I was doing. Basically I kept cadding. Wonder if I did use any of my brain cells to think. I managed to complete 3 sectional elevation(combine to minimise dwg), plans and a site plan.
It was already late Wednesday night, 16 hours before deadline.. Model, detail, layout, photoshop to complete.. no forgetting to print.. oh Shit.. and a A3 report.. given up on that too. no time.. My fingers went clicking away non-stop. Waalaa! Done my A1 panels by 10am. Wash up and it was cab to school. Met Layhar in com lab. She's still rushing her stuff. So while waiting, I started on my 20 scale Detail. It was horrid.. Am so totally drained from lack of sleep. I took existing detail I did before and tried to change it to suit my design now. Am in deep shit this time. My roof was suppose to be curve, but due to time constrain.. it was STRAight in my detail.. Hell..Anycase, it better then nothing.
This is how I look. Haaa
We were off to sunshine plaza round 2 pm. by cab of course.. 3hours before submission.. model still not done.. Super desperate for time! I got QinHao to help out. We Owe you big time man. His really a good friend. NO questions, I asked and I got a immediate OK reply. We sent out prints, and Hao took over to collect them, while Layhar and I head back to school to start modelling. The weather was no cooporative thou.. It stormed while we are about to head back sch.. Waited what seems like hours for a cab before getting one.. many incorrigible singaporeans had apparently cut our queue to the cab.. Argh!..damn...
An hour left when reached sch.. No time was wasted. We got our hand on what ever materials we had and started cutting. I actually got 2 boards bought before hand, but it was used by other ppl although I had my name stick on it.. reason being its there for so long, so they assumed I dont need it.. haiz.. learnt my lesson, should had brought it home.. Completed a sucky looking massing model just in time. Haa.. Will be doing a good final model during the weekend. Am goin to swap that during my crit next week. Shh..
I think I cause some panic for our dear Qin Hao. He called a cab so as to hand us our panels faster. Thank HAo for your time and $$ spend. Hee. Thanks again. It was really a great help. Submission was smooth. :)
Layhar and I took a cab home.. our 4th cab of the day. god.. am so broke.. but we are too tired to wait for the bus..
It was a entire week since I last slept on my bed. It sure feels good. I was awaken by Layhar's phone call on Fri morning.. Be meeting in school to do a BU report. Submission was the day 5pm.. Hai.. work to do again.. and I'm still feeling sleepy.. Well, we managed to complete it, with many referencing from past reports from our uni friends. Hee.
I headed to the doctors after school. You see, I have this big red swollen lump at my knee cap 2 days before when I woke up. Initially thought It might just be the usual mosquito bite. But this seems quite serious. Its painful and feels warm and lumpy to the touch. At the point of contact where that creature pierced me knee, theres this white liquid spot.. Gross.. The doc classify it as infection and I was given medication to apply. It cost me 23 bucks.
