Ice cream to DE-StressIce cream therapy @ Demsey Ben & Jerry last friday. Sinfully delicious neh! Enjoying super thick and smooth choco blasted flavoured ice creams in waffle bowl with sweet caremel and nut topping. Nice! LOVEEee the outdour chill out timber swing bench! Totally swing my stress away. Heee. can just seat there through the night, enjoying the company of my dear, listening to my know-it-all dear telling me yet another story, satisfying our sweet teeth at the same time. Cant wait for my next visit! Wait for me my swing bench. hee...
See below> kawaii vintage mini bus welcoming all at the entrance.
Then Monday... It's Ice Rock @ holland after studio with Har n Yun. Hm.. a little over priced for the quality. Berry ice cream mix taste bland, rum n raisin is O-K, mine ferrero n dark choco is too sweet for my liking. The ice cream melts fast too.. thats bad. Not fantastic. Ben & Jerry rocks for me. Haa.. Thou, it wont be a bad idea to work for Ice Rocks, mixing and crashing cookies and anything with ice cream on the ice cold granite. Its more fun then to eating the end product I guess.
A smaller 1 seater swing chair in Ice rock too. but Demsey has a way better ambience and wider sized swing chair, Ideal for love birds. Hee. Thumbs down to Holland Ice Rock from muah.
Its count down time to final submission.. 14 days left. sobz... stress level rising...

Busy
It was Wednesday ladies night.. I had my own little party at home. think I'll name it "VIVO maddness"..
Non stop work since weekend for Mondays' interim crit 2. crit panel includes Richard HO and Tay Kheng Soon.. My crit was totally "cui". I mean I had expected that since I've produced little work. grateful for their constructive comments as most "one-needle-see-blood", letting me understand how in deep shit I'm in now. haaa.. but till now still find hard to swallow one thing Ho commented: your drawings, seriously are very badly drawn. as a year 4, you shouldn't be producing such things any more... blah... I'm more surprised more then anything. I mean never had I get that from any one before.. Calming myself.. I will say that Ho's definition of good drawings refers to drawings that are clear and conveys the achitecture intention to the viewer. With that, I have to admit my panels failed to do so and I agree with Ho. Still, words can hurt a lot time.. need a while more to heal. Haa...
So tired after the crit, totally drain physically and mentally. Work doesn't stop there. Thu's another submission for AR5321.. it's a gp work. all too tired, so we decided to chiong once we had our much needed rest that night..
Much of tueday was spent deciding on the new Vivo construction method. No matter wat we try to do, at the end of the day. the Vivo curve facade is just an extra element that does nothing more then a waste to $$$$.. and here we are breaking our heads to think of something.. progess was slow...
time passes so fast.. it's Wednesday.. We were suppose to meet after tutorial to compile and do panelling. but all skipped tutorial to do project.. opps.. All 3 of my gp had been in sch working, while I was working from home before reaching sch in the evening.. There still alot more to do and I hate working in school. SO I suggested all to come over my house to OT.
so there> my own little party at home. haaa. intense... 4 computers in my small little study room, each wroking hard in their little corner of the room. everyone was tired and we kept each our awake by talking nonsense, haaa.. anyway, we manage to complete, print and submit mintues before the deadline 12noon. Hooray!
done within 2 days of intensive work by 4 of us. good work ppl!!
Lunched and was thinking to seat in to some crit session. but all decided to go home to sleep instead. So finally!! home!! not convinced I need my sleep, I switched on my PC and continued my anime craze.. haaa. Officially Drop dead at 5pm.
Today 11am.. ring ring!!! woke up by a phone call. Rise and shine!
I wonder what shall I do today? Hm.. .

Life's been kinda routine, rovolving round school. its going to get tougher in school as submissions are nearing... I've just survived through 3 submissions n design crit with tutor last week. Intensive man! Im zomb-ed out half the week.
But my week ended on a happy note, fully packed with tour, shopping, just anything but work.
Last Fri, I was at an exhibition thats showcasing the winning entries for a national art museum to be build within the existing City Hall and Spreme court.
this is not in the top 3 selection, thou top 5 la.. its out of the game. Haaa.. just thought their 3d rendered sectional perspective looks awesome
Doodle trace of supreme court crown done by mua.
Do hope the winning national art museum design will enhance our national heritage, if not retain the original essense of it. Well, what can be worst than a UFO anyway? haaa..
afterwhich, I spent some quality alone enjoying a little shopping spree . Friday's not over yet o.. meet up with dear to pasir ris fishing pond. Theres this event held tat night, whereby 1000kg of fishes are going to be released that night starting at 9pm. hm.. its will cost 80 bucks per rod from 9pm all the way till the 7am in the morning!! good bargain!! its a sure catch night! and it sure attracted alot of pro fishing lovers, its was exceptionally paceked tat night. its totally worth every penny spent. one catch is almost 7kg. its huge!! My first ever to see that many catch in that 2 hours I stayed. its a pity we are only there to watch the fun and action. Im not goin to miss the next one.
Home at 2am n dead as a fish .. (bear in mind I haven been getting proper sleep for the week)
