Be a Spartan. Chiong Ah!!! 11 days more...
Another Studio session skipped.. Haven been working hard over the weekend.. Nothing much to present to tutor. Hai. bobian. work from home lo. Go school also no use. Started resolving my structure n massing elevation throu the use of 3D.. and its not easy as I thought.. Blaming my pc for the slow reaction time.. seriously thinking of smashing it to pieces at some point of time.. It has been ages since I did a 3D, so skills kinda rusty le.. adding to the slow production time.. Damn.. Why cant 3D max utilise the same interface as autocad.. So much easier and faster to type commands then clicking every time. and the mouse is like soo 'chi dun', keep snapping on the wrong point. TMD.. Clicking back and fro gets very irritating after a while. Hm.. understand autocad 08 has 3d model function.. might learn how to during the holidays.. not now ba.. wont have the time to master it in such a short time.. was suppose to learn revit last hoilday.. hee. also yet to do so.. sketch up too... Haiz.. anyway.. wait till holidays ba. everything must put on hold till then now..
Shot in DDS third storey, was alone and bored. wahaa.. so there, another self obsess shot. Attempt to smile with no teeth. Hey, and not bad at all hah. Always thought because of my not so tidy roll of teeth, I'm better off smiling with all white expose. Closing my lips, one would see the bulging teeths behind, not very nice la. I can still see the bulgy-ness in this photo, but not that obvious. Anyway, the low resolution might be the reason why this turn out to be pretty nice... If I had listen to my parents and get those 2 rolls of whities straighten then.. Haiz.. What to do..me cant stand the pain. Kinda regretting now.. Should I do something about it now.. Hm.. I wonder..
This is the cat that took the lift right up to 6th storey every other day and rest itself comfortably outside my garden-like corridor.. so often that it makes me think that I have a pet cat sometimes. A series of shots taken from different day.
See.. SOOO kawaii!! all curled up, feel like snugging together.
Elevator Cat scratching herself along the wall.
Cat thinking she's a human, lying like this. LOL.. She saw me walking pass. Took a peek and continued her afternoon nap, totally ignoring my presence.
Moon bathing at the void deck, leaning against the drop level... She thinks she's a human.. Hai..
K.. time for dinner then back to working again... endure! be a spartan!!!

Daddy's 51st Birthday . 25th Mar 07
A crystal jadie day. BD cake's from crystal Jade pastry shop.
Lunch @ Crystal Jade, Holland. Did sone window shopping there after, and ended up buying a set of cloths: I pair of cool karkis with intricate detailings and a demure white cotton lace top. Both from Isla, Holland Shopping Center.
Chunks of work to be done for design. 14 more days and counting.. past week had been hectic.. cant get myself to blog about it, nothing interesting bout sch too... I'm feeling sleepy..
SaturdaySkipped Kickboxing. slept late on friday. Was doing BU report after I reach home from movies... complete at the weee hours so cant wake up for morning excercise... anyway.. lunch time went to SGH. Heard from her that if all's fine, Monday can go out walk walk le, then within a week can go home le. Good good.
Friday Night: 300Catch the midnight movies at JEE with dear dear. Brutal as it is, its a movie worthy to watch. Graphics similar to LOTR kind of movie- Love that. Not just about the fighting, effort in depicting the silent, emotional, sensual, love . blah blah.. between the Spartan king and his Queen. The bed scene especially, very arty. Brotherhood between warriors, the determination, spirit depicted within the movie is awesome too. A very manly movie I think. Fight for country, for glory, for the people... Depicting a strong queen with mind of her own.. Love the scene where by she pierce the traitor with the sword in one clean move. Seldom you get to see women doing the killing. Cool!.. 300 warrior fighting their all, killing every enemy in their sight, sacrificing their life in the end from betrayal by an ugly despicable ex-spartan's son.. This's enough to make me weep silently within.. I'm a cry baby.

The past days were torturing... Friday started my momentum to design. It was a slow start by at least the feeling to work is back. Saturday skipped kickboxing.. was intending to wake up early and used that time to do some work. I woke up at 12noon, meaning I could actually just go for my excercise.. damn.. anyway I woke up, had my late breakfast and here starts the autocad marathon. I design and cadded, 2 in 1. wahaa.. no time for me to draw then cad la, submission's on Monday. Worked till dinner time, Then thats where I stop work or a pretty long time. I got stuck in front if the TV, watched till 1am. Cant stop myself. 2 hours of 我猜.我猜.我猜猜kawaii princess '杨陈林' (donno the exact words but ya thats her) is leaving the show, and that was the last. Sobz. Its not gonna be the same without her. Had to admit big part of me watched 我猜 becos of her apperance. Sad farewell.. anyway back to me. so its 1am!! before realised there's not much time left for me to finish my design. Still cadding my 1st plan! Slow la! So cad and cad and cad till 4 plus before I hit my bed.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- woke up 10am? I forgot.. its full force on Sunday. Cad cad cad cad CAD click click click until my eyes wanna drop off and my fingers aching. And I'm still at plans.. Haiz.. dead meat. Then I've made a decision. Since my presentation is going to be on Tuesday, so I'll just print something out for Monday, then work on more for tuesday, so I'll gain another day to continue working on wats left. wahaaa. I was desperate for time. Only manage to complete my plans. It was 4am .. too sleepy.. I dozed off.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- woke up at 6am.. submission at 9am.. well, cant be helped, I'll have to complete the rest of the ele section structure and model after the submission.. bath and off to school to get my panel printed. Dad drove me using company car. hee. comfy.. I got a shock when I arrive in school. It look deserted to me. So unexpected. Was so preparing to see a long queue waiting anxiously for theirs panels printed. But NOoooo. I got my prints in less then 10mins. Went to studio to get my panels pin up.. Not many ppl in studio too. Very unusual. Saw Sze wei.. guess what.. Theres' no attendance taking, NO tutors coming over. This meaning for ppl like me, whos having crit on tuesday, I could have not rush like hell to meet the supoosely 9am deadline.. Felt so cheated.. On the bright side, at least I've printed out my plans.. Went home shortly. took a short morning nap. Woke up. I did a check list of what's left to do, and WOW what a long one. Since time is not on my side, I decided to not do my cad drawings le. I must have a physical model and its goin to take a whole lot of my time, so had to sacrifice the dwgs. I felt that with a model done, my design would be much more clearer to understand. I got all this diff levels going on, so its gonna turn out quite nice too. So I started. It took quite a while before I figure out how to work on my model, need a bit getting use to. It has been quite a while since I've done one. It did turn out nicer than I expected. but I only got to complete right before I could start on my facades.. Its 7am Tuesday already!!.. need to go to school le.. Full day without sleep.. Dad drove me to school again, so safe the trouble of flagging for cab again, most impt, save money. Crit started 9.30am. I was the 3rd. Comments on my design was ok. They liked my planning. Overall commented on some improvements. But as I had not done anything else other than the plan, I was told I was way behind time, so time to buck up. Haaa.. I noe I noe. Hey at least my plan is ok, no need to change much.. Crit ended in 20mins? it was a fast one. wasnt as stress as usual thou I did not prepare my speech. Might be due to the OTs, numb from deprived of sleep. Was dozing off during the de-brief after crit. Reached home 2pm. Barely survived. Drop dead on bed without bathing.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The next time I open my eyes, Its 10am today le. I've slept more then 12hours!!! Can imagine how tired I was. Still feeling goggy and wobbly, like not enough sleep. or maybe I've overslept... Anyway today is hospital day. going to visit her. Took a really long bath to clean of all dirt and germs. Bathed twice, 2nd time was a quick one with dettol. I must make sure I'm really clean,. Packed a set of clean cloths with me, lunched and I'm off to SGH. Then it happened. I've reached the ward, I know I need to wash my hands and some precaution measures before entering the ward to visit the paitent. I wanted to make sure I would not do anything wrong, I went to the counter to had my doubts cleared.
...............
Me: Excuse me, I am visitin the paitent in ward XX, is there any thing I need to do before entering?Nurse A: There's a notice pined on the door. Wash your hands and feet, change into the shoe, use the shoe cover, wear the mouth mask.Me: ok, thanksI got myself changed into clean cloths, just to make sure I did not carry any germs with my existing on my way here. I washed my hands. Then I looke around for the shoe cover.. Hmm.. saw some blue rolled up plastic, some slippers on the shoe shelf.. not to sure is that the one I'm suppose to wear.. Hm.. Just to be doublely sure, I went back to the counter.
Head start to nurse A again.
Me: Hmm.. May I know is the shoe cover that you mentioned is in the container beside the shoe rack? Then here comes another fierce voice..Nurse 老醋女: Whats the problem here? Who tell you to use the shoe cover!!!? THats is solely used for the doctors only! you are only suppose to change into the slippers provided on the shelf! Theres only 2 provided. I already brief the paitent and the rest so long ago, why are you still asking this kind of questions? you mean you still don no?! WHO are you!? how you related to them? Only close relative can visit.Me:.. ok thanks.................
Argh! bloodly hell! SO feel like slapping the 老醋女! being the head nurse does not mean you can raise your voice to others!. but on the account that she's gonna be incharge of her.. I stayed my cool and swallowed every damn thing in.. boiling inside.. So thats the end of this unfriendly episode. Got my self cleaned, coverd, finally in to visit her. She's looking ok. can seat up and eat on her own la. The elder daughter was there too, so at least there was some company. I had my longest chat with her for the 1st time. Hee.. Great improvement from the last. I don feel as awarward. good good. Stayed for an hour plus before leaving together with the elder daughter. Took the MRT together, had a nice chat with her too on the journey. This visit turn out to much fruitful then I've expected. Alighted 1st at Clementi. Heading to school to get my model before heading home. I was lucky, only mintues before it started to rain heavily. Still feeling very jello and sleepy, no mood to start work. watched Tv, and here I am bloggin.
Missing dear so much, have not been seeing him for quite awhile, Both being busy with own stuff. and dear more busy then me, with work, sch, and now home stuff to worry about and also me whom always create more trouble for him. Haiz. .

Friday----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Its our 55th month. going no where, just be home working hard on design. Took a quite big long break and check out Deviantart, I got to 'kop' some cool images, at least that what i think la.. and it got my sweet tooth itching. Haaa.
I like the backdrop colour. Totally a sucker to the dreamy blue-ish greenish pastel tone. This pic do reminds me how wonderful the sun and sand is. Its been so long since I step on the beach. ok. shall put note this in my to do list during the holidays.
Not obsess with roses. But do love to be surprised with some someday by that someone
Strawberries!!! look at the lovely colour. its making me drool already. Dip it with some super dark chocolate.. Yum yum!!
Caramel coated apple and many more. Remembered the one I had at Sydney and it feels like heaven.
Wonder how this taste. Cupcakes always look appetizing (and fattening) Especially this, so sunny and cheerful.. heee. it looks so kawaii.. don think I wont 'she de' to eat
How can I forget you.. my favourite!!!
Thursday -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Getting all emotional this week.. Visited her in at the hosipital. Although I'm not of a close relationship with her, the sight of her weak and all wired up was painful and sad. Nothing that one do to lessen her pain. No one would be able to understand the amount of suffering she's going through. I really feel for her love ones. To see someone you care and love enduring the treatment, fighting hard with intruders within her body, thinning away slowly from the battle. I would be deverstated if it will to happen to my love ones.. One have to be optimistic. The battle aint over yet. We can win. We WILL win. Have to believe. Have HOPE. hope for a happy ending. Cherish every single moment with ur love ones. With what's left of their time, may it be the m ost memorable and happy one... hm.. kinda just writing whole chunk watever I m thinking.. might not be making any sense/ logic to you. Since this is my blog, I could do what I want and how ever I want. Bleah! . . The treatment's gonna be much more intense in a few days time. By then, strict restrictions to comply to while visiting. Got to be all wrap up before one can see her. All safety precautions to prevent virus infection. The next few weeks and there after will be crutial and nothing must go wrong. I believe. Waiting for the day to fetch her out looking pink and healthy again.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I am totally hopeless. For someone who's living only a few bus stop away from you, there should not be any reason to be late... That's by right. I'm a lefty remember. I've clock the highest number of cab taking for a week! Lets see.. Monday cab to sch: rushing design. Tuesday over slept so flagged hand again. Wednesday same senario as Tuesday: make it just in time for presentation. Today trying to squueeze as much work as i can for studio, SO late yet again.. in cab to school. In short, I took the cab everyday! That's crazy. Pray hard that lazy me able to to drag mysrlf out of bed and in time for lecture for once. Fingers crossed.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I should really get my momentum running full gear now. Aint much time left before the next interim (next Monday..) That means somehow I got to get myself together to produce everything from now till latest Sunday afternoon, and get the panels printed in time for submission. Then somehow with what's ever left of the time and me, to do a physical model. I need a miracle. 3 days.. the thought itself is hell enough.. no sleep, no tv, no computer games, no shopping, no everything, Yes work , more work and endless of it.. Argh!! such a pain in the ass..

Earthquake after effect felt in Singapore... twice too.. but experience non. was at high ground, I mean school. (NUS's on a hill for ur info if you not know).. What's happening to our earth? Earthquakes has been felt more frequently lately here. Is the earthquake belt expanding? cant be. or does the green house effect indirectly the source of this reason?.. suddenly the need for persuing materialistic pleasure, fame and success isnt that impt anymore. Humans not matter how intelligent, we are all at the mercy of mother Earth. Human life is fragile and there's million and one way where it be taken away from us. Treasure, cherish, appreciate the people you love and love you back. Leave with no regrets. .... ... Overwelming emotions .. end here.
