Which Tree Do you fall from?

Me a Cedar Tree(Confidence)

of rare strength, knows how to adapt, likes unexpected presents, of good health, not in the least shy, tends to look down on others, self-confidence, a great speaker, determined, often impatient, likes to impress others, has many talents, industrious, healthy optimism, waits for the one true love, able to make quick decisions.

I wonder how true this is.

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

Had a free health screening in school on Tue. I have perfect BMI. But why do I still think I need to lose some of that weight.. CNY coming too. oh dear oh dear. At this rate, Im just goin to grow fatter.

Over night fishing at Pasir Ris fishing pond from Sat 7pm till Sun 6am. Sobz.. not a decent size single fish caught. Bad day to fish. well, that at last that applies to poor dear. I was playing with hand line, and there plenty of small fishes to catch, for fun only, catch and release. Too small to be eatten.

Drop dead and sleep my Sunday away. Before I know it, its time for dinner.

Haiz.. time sure fly fast when its the happiest.

Disappointed at first..

daddy against the idea of me having the bicycle that lay har's intending to give me.. he insisted that the one I had at home is good enough... which i insisted TOO its too small for me.. any how.. its a no..

Happy now...

no bicycle, but I got a pair of Skating shoes and full protection gear set!! Its from my cousin. its almost brand new, worn only ones. Told my cousin that she had a phobia from falling after she tried skating the first time. A pity for her, But great news for me. Its the start of a New Hobby for me!! Woohoo! Now, how shall I start.. Haa.. dear, need help.

Looks brand new right, other then the yellowing of the wheels. Slighly bulky looking. But hey, its free. no complains. :)

end of Urban Workshop

Started out hating the workshop. really!.. It is not graded too btw. But then its a fantastic opportunity to bond with studio mates. I think we had fun through out the process. I did, Haaa... though I was sleepy and moody the first part of the week due to u-know-what.

We had brain storming sessions together, eat every single meal together, gossiping, being lame, working late for the whole week for this urban workshop. I think we see each other more hours then with our parents or our dear. Haaa. This can only happen in archi.

Besides fun, we really did learn much from the workshop, being introduced to lots of different ideas that we would not even think its possible. Credits to our tutor Tay Kheng Soon too, who drop by during the course of the workshop to 'enlighten' us. Haa. Ya. really. and not forgetting Hans Meyer, great to have this opprtunity to learn from him too.

Architecture learning aside.. this workshop also thought me something valuable which I cant learn from books. that is 人性.

Ok. Time to clarify. Haa. Major mood swing on Monday. The messed up start of the workshop just made it worst. Im all good and cheery now.

Yes. The workshop coordinator ***** big time.
Yes. Hans Meyer is great.
Yes. I think kheng Soon's not so bad after all. Crazy but, I like.
No. nothing wrong with me and dear. Just me and the hated time of the month.

No, I dont hate studio. waking up early this entire week and home after 9pm sucks. but working with these fantastic gp of ppl sure make up for it. :) Studio actually feels fun.

Ps: Miss dear.

NUS is Just Shitty!!

1st day of Urban workshop and a total cork up right from the beginning! We were told to work on specific task last week in preperation for this week's workshop- water front development at Keppel bay, marina south... Our studio was doing case study on barcelona sea front development..while others did other studies, and some did marina site studies... so we all did just that.. like what we were told to do... We work OTs during weekend to get the work out...

Work done.. everyones preparing for their presentation.. Its 10 PLus in the morning in studio.. presentation started... then some commotion between the tutors.... then the bomb came.. BOOOOOMMMMMM!!! We were told the way we had work on is WRONG!! we are suppose to make comparision between the case studies and Keppel, making physical comparisions!! Scaled PLan and Sections are needed.... all this while in the presence of Hans Meyer, our workshop guest lecture.. You see how sucky our school system is... I feel so ashamed..

What we did pain stakingly just wash down the drain!... we were given till 5pm to produce the right work for presentation... Thats not the worst part... A sudden black out just made the day worst for all!!! Its lucky we saved our work before its all gone.. not so lucky for some thou..
Had supewr late lunch and the confusion of whats to be done, plus period.. all these just made me SUPER DOPER edgy and irritated all day... Im still feeeling pissed now.

Studio ended late today. We could have better use this day to proceed on with more work if not for poor coordination and communication from the whoever-that-corrdinated this!!.this is so Fustrating!! ARGH!!!!

Schedule for workshop:
Tue: meet 9am, to finalise concept, complete site model to the be able to go home...
Wed: meet 9am, to complete design of public space then can go home
Thu: meet 9am, to complete urbal typologies.. final model.. i suppose is overnight in sch.. bcos....
Fri: noon final presentation..

I would be dead by then... this is Hell lots of work to do.. and to think we wasted monday away... Just shit la!

was complaining about this u. All I want is u know and to understand. I don need you to tell me how obident we are not retaliating back when all this cork up happens..and ya dah ya dah.... I know all that... just listen to me and shut up if u have nothing good to say. What use would it help?! Work still needs to be done.

was telling you how exhausted I would be by Friday.. that thats why sat fishing would be impossible. I can not last another sleepless night. I need my rest badly. Why cant you understand!! Even if I sleeep early on Friday night, its is not goin to be enough for me to recover and to stay sleepless the next day. Logically speaking.. logically speaking... hell with logic. Non archi students nvr understand.

of all ppl... I just felt even worst talking to u.. would so rather chat with some one else...
Been a week plus since we met.. was super waiting for the weekends to meet u. not any more.. rather stay home to work. this workshop took up so much of my time, that Im already starting to lag behind with my other modules..

Argh!! IM SO SO SO PISSED!

Hair Style does make a difference!

Old Hag look Before haircut. Long but ill-maintained.

Drag myself up to leave Har's house for Dental appointment. 3 years since I last went for any cleansing.. Dread going to one. For all I can remember, its always a painful experience. It lasted 30mins this time round, short, but felt much longer then it actually is.

No pain no gain. Sparkling clean and healthy looking teeth++ my smile look slightly better then before. Heee.

Must remember to go regularly.. before the plague build up and cause hell for me again.

------------------------------------------------

No tutor present during today's studio session. And this is the best studio session I ever had yet. Not because we can slack through. On the contrary, we utilised our time fully, presenting our findings to each other, QnA flying across the table. Its very informal, very relaxing, theres no stress at all. We are noisy for a valid reason, making meaningful discussions. Although at time we kind of waste time discussing in circles.. Slight in effective-ness.

Still, Ive never thought studio can be this fun and Im actually able to sit through the entire 4 hour plus without feeling tired. :)

This is going to be an interesting sem.

PS: new studio mate joining us today. A Blue-eye exhange student from god-knows-where. name is Rik, and his cute. :P

Had Computation of Basic Finance lecture at the super inaccessible area of NUS, for me at least. Have to take 151, alight and change to internal shutter to Department of Computing, then walk further in for 5mins before finally reaching lecture hall, to attend a 1.5hour lecture, then time to head home. Shitz.. 35mins to, 35mins back.... troublesome..

Anyway, lecturer's a she. Very motherly. Imagine telling and showing us how to get rid of the coloured powerpoint slides' bk ground for printing... Hmz.... Leant a few tricks of Excel. Useful. But i think my own finance accounting will be easy to work on without using excel. not much to calculate and balance. Hee.

Guess where I am now.......
Lay Haaaaar's Home. Where else.

3rd day of school and Im staying out to work. Hardworking huh.
Not exactly la. We are suppose to work on some readings together, so just decided to work from her home. Headed straight over after lecture at 3.45pm. But only started work after dinner near 8pm. Haaa. So now Im taking another break to drop by to blog this entry. Hai. I feel like sleeping already.. Yawnz..

PS: theres still 3 wheels to be done for my F1 model.. lazy lazy..

I had a haircut! I look much more refreshing then before now.. At the same time a different hair style to start the new semester. I had long and boring hair long enough. Hee.. I like the new me.

1st studio session with Tay Kheng Soon was surprisingly, smooth and very enjoyable.. Hm.. Still I fear that we are going to be progressing slow this sem too. K.S aparently just waiting for us to tell him what we wanna do, then I suppose hw will then decide if its ok.. I mean he gave very obvious discussion about what he would want and is the right way to do.. aiyah.. time will tell. Anyway he wont be around this thu studio. Haaaaaa. We are on our own. I suppose we are old enough to handle ourself well. Lets cross fingers. -X- -.- -X-

Design Task for the week---
1 Case studies to work on as a studio for next mon's presentation... which we had not started yet.. worrying..
2 Studio research.. that not so bad, in the progress.

Had my Political Economics of Housing lecture. We will be taught about 3 main: politics, economics, investments. Basically learning how to make money in the end. Good right. but its not going to be easy. Lecturer not the spoon feeding kind. Have to start doing my own research and homework if I want to survive throu this module.. its all calculations.. Im so dead..

Briefed of my Dissertation today too. to start thinking about what I wanna do and what tutor to select to supervise me lo.

Today seems like Xmas again. Friends that went for xchange got presents.. Goodies & so kawaii accessories from Korea(J.Yun n Regi) and french manicure set that I've always wanted!! (Y.Ling)!! Had my right hand painted and oh so sweet looking. :) As always, left fingers not painted. too lazy to repeat the steps and I can never do it right anyway.

Ps: Being having 'training' before I bath. its the 3rd try now and I still donno how to use the eyeliner.... argh..

Had Mac today. Pengz.. Okok. I start eating healthy starting on Wed. Wahaaa.

Today's a sinful day.

Lunch was lasi Lemak with crispy chicken, fish, 1 otah and a sunny side up...

Dinner is home cooked by dear.. I chopped the garlic. :P
Sambal Whole Fish..
Sambal Prawn, garlic prawn..
BBQ chicken... ALL Microwaved. Haa. We are actually testing out what food to prepare for dear's coming birthday chalet la.

Then came supper.. Dear bro got us fries...

I'm literally putting on weight by the hour.

.... hours to the start of a new semester. Not exactly looking forward to it. But I think its time to get my brain working, or its goin to rust very soon. Im already feeling rusty now. Hope I can gear back up asap.

F1 car model

Hai.. been working on it for 3 consecutive days. on hold for 2 days since. Still have the wheels to do. Need to work fast before school starts in 2 days time!

Thu Sentosa

Had a freak accident, I cycled too fast, too late to brake... smashed head on to tree ahead.. fly out of my bick.. landed on grass patch, lucky me. haaa. at least the impacted is reduced by the soft ground. Im lucky to escape with a few major bruises and blue blacks on both legs with almost no blood spilled.

ohh ohhhh.. and I shopped again. wahaaaa. headed to Bugis street. Got my fake eyelashes and eyeliner. Haa. Be gone with small eyes. My eyes really look so so so much brighter and alife. For once I think my eyes look pretty without specs.

Need to get back rubbing my poor legs with zam-buk. Bu- hoooo.. pain pain.. hope no internal injuries...

Aiyoh.. I look so chubby.. 2 months of doin nothing at home. 太辛‘福’了。haaa..

Playing with the water fountain near Sakae Sushi. Haaa. what better place to play than Sentosa? Cant imagine doin this at Bugis. Haaa. too old for that.

Wed Ladies Night @ Powerhouse

No more no less. Just 2 ladies meeting up to chiong. Jie n Me. Free Entry plus 5 complimentry drink, including the normal house pour vodca, "burban"? coke, terquila, bottled bracadi lime\orange (a whole bottle!! I amazed!), bottled beer, juice and soft drinks. Sounds like a good deal right? The bottled drinks are a good deal in comparision to the super diluted vodca. But be warned o, you will get bloated before you even get high. Thats what happened to us. Haa.

I like the music, but would be so much better if we can get some alcohol into our blood stream.
Hm.. I would say get the drinks from Dbl O plus the Music from PowerHouse and its going to be soooo shiock! .... guilty of spending again.. Hai.. a surpise find from Forever 21, (my 1st from there too!!) a black 2 layered black dress, very ideal for weddings. :) so I convinced myself.
