Online Spree- Holga 120 GCFN

After much thought, finally decided to get the Black Holga, although it will be so good if I can get the green version. But that would have cost me 40 to 50 bucks more... Black is cool too. cost me 75 bucks. got myself a normal 35mm adaptor too, 20 bucks.

HOLGA FEATURES

Plastic 60/8 Optical Lens :The Holga's heart and soul. A dead-simple multi-element plastic lens that makes colors radiate and makes total image sharpness take a brief holiday. You can also expect a bit of vignetting (darkening) around the edges – especially on a sunny day. The focal length is approximately equal to 38mm on a standard 35mm camera – so it's a little bit wider than the normal perspective.

120 Medium Format Film :From glossy fashion magazine covers, to dead-serious landscape shots, to the "Electric Slide" dance at Uncle Bob's wedding, the camera of choice if very likely to be medium format. Created by the Kodak company in 1898, medium format film has filled the guts of professional cameras for well over 100 years. At four times the size of 35mm film, it offers amazing resolution and deep, fantastic colors. A typical 120 print has an incredible richness and depth that no 35mm image can touch.

Built-In Colorflash :A beautiful and recent feature resulting from the success of our 35mm Colorsplash cameras. A little wheel sits around the powerful built-in electronic flash and allows you to choose a red, yellow, or green filter to tint your burst of flash light. It's mad fun at night or during the day (as a fill flash). There's a clear filter too for those days when you want to keep it real.

Uncoupled Advance and Shutter : After you shoot a Holga image, you can choose to advance it one full frame, a partial frame, or not advance at all. 120 film shows its exposure count on the back, and you can read it through a little red window on the Holga's rear door. This feature allows you to shoot limitless times on the same frame (multiple exposures) and advance only partial frames to create a semi-panoramic overlapping image. Hooray!

Variable Shutter Speeds : You lucky duck. You get two to choose from. The standard daytime speed of 1/125 second or the exotic long-exposure “B” setting – where you can hold the shutter open for as long as you want. Use “B” to capture dazzling night images without a flash. Pair the “B” setting with a flash shot to freeze your sharp, flashed subject in front of a streaming, glowing background. Team the “B” setting with a tripod (via the bottom tripod thread) for a sharp night portrait.
Variable Aperture A little weather guide helps you out. Choose f/11 for sunny shots and f/8 for cloudy and nighttime shots. Pretty easy, that one.

Zone Focus :Fun, fabulous, and very fast. The lens has four focus settings – portrait, small group, big group, and infinity. Guess as best you can and fire away.

Really love the intensity of the photos! no photoshoping needed. Cant wait for the day my Holga arrive. Then we can start shooting!! (Lay Har got one too)

长大了，

要懂得感恩，孝顺父母。
父母亲的养育之恩不可忘。

人好好，健康时当然没问题。不过一但病卧在床是决不可以嫌弃，遗弃！
照顾年老父母本就是子女的责任！
怎么可以嫌弃他们老了不中用！简直畜牲都不如！
老了，病了，更需要亲人的关怀与照顾，让父母快乐开心的享受晚年。

为父母，一切都是儿女因该的，理所当然。

一转眼。。原来我奶奶一那么老了。。也病了。。
人的丑陋。。孝与不孝也在这时一一的被看清。。。

Just a change of a simple power supply box caused more trouble then I expected.. Internet not working.. implications and error to OS.. reinstalled OS, then windows update affected... blah blah blah.. argh.. Spent the rest of my Sunday night and some of Monday and today before finally getting it all fixed.. OMG!! have to thanks Jie and the especially busy Policeman for assisting... haiz.. my precious time.. studying for tomorrow's Finance tests now...

Time is never enough.. design still ground zero, another elective have not touch at all (not been to any tutorial as yet!!), disseration not thinking about it.. ahhhh.... Im just a procrestinator.. need to be more discipline..

PS: been gaining weight.. faintz.. time to excercise, need train for my 5K run. don laugh, its really been a super long time since i ever jog, not to say run. plus history of bronchitis.. better train la.

Sunday

Upgrading my almost dying computer. Got a new power supply and 4x1G rams. All bought by my Daddy and my sister. Hee. Mua's at dear's house studying.

Saturday - IT Fair

Triple date as like yesterday, me, dear and LayHar. :P The Fair spreads 4 storeys but still as crowded. We 2 gals got ourself a Maxtor External Drive. Me 250G for 119bucks. Layhar 500G for 195 bucks. Good buy.

Dear got a Hp printer, with it a free Singapore Flyer ticket is given. But due to some blunders at the collection counter, we ended up getting 2 Flyer tickets! Yeah!! printer cost 129, flyer tickets cost 29.50 x 2 = the printer only cost 70 bucks. wahaa.

Sunday
Dear got us F1 tickets!!! Yeah! Freestanding- 168 bucks

Saturday
OMG.. missed my 5th kickbox lesson. Slept throu it. Haiz...

Woke up at 12.30pm. Out of house at 1pm. Accompany dear to choose rim design for his car. Then dear drove me to this wonderful place- Bottle tree park, somewhere around Yishun. Its an ideal place to bring entire family, young and old to come and just enjoy a relaxing weekend. Theres "long Kao" fishing for kids, prawn fishing, fresh water pond fishing, water lili pond, koi ponds.. its really all in one. Theres more!! a pool table!!.. They have an indoor retaurant and several outdoor pavillions for outdoor functions and even a outdoor deck for performance. Theres also a playground with sand!! and many couple swings located round the park!! A pinball adventure park and hydro farm situated beside it too! See below, the intenal courtyard. Nice right!
This is the place to go man!! Highly recommended.

Friday
Short dinner meet up with Hao and Shui @ Central. All 3 had Fish and Chips at The Manhattan, supposely one of the chief recommendation. Quite a disappointment as although we are super hungry, we got sick of the starchy and tasteless fillet half way throu. Service is equally bad if not worst as much time was wasted waiting to be served both at the waiting queue and at the table.

Then due to my own foolish doing(long story..), I left after dinner. So sorry guys. :P (fire engine reach in time to put out the flame. Phew.).. Haa. donno what Im talking about, its ok. secret between the 3 of us.

Meet up with dear to DargonFly for some live band music.

Crazy Wednesday

Morning: Studio K lunch

Afternoon: Shopping @ bugis village.. Start of spending spree. Kee.. got my self a belt. 22 bucks.. BTW, saw Zoe Tay at Bugis Junction doing some filming. She looks better in I-weekly.

Late Afternoon: @ Raffles City where I splurge on a pair of Sole Lover covered pumps. Very comfortable. cost me 89 bucks. .. A interesting sight while shopping. Spot the mannequins among the real humans in the photo.

Early Evening: Met up with Jie Lin @ Marina Square for dinner @ food court. Haa. very broke by then.

Night: Sudden Idea to go DBL O for a drink. Its Ladies night ma. So, off we went.

Was intending to stayed till max 11pm. ended up stayed till almost 3am. Had a record number of drinks. 5 Exotic 51 at one shot as dared by the bartender.. followed by Barcadi Lemon.. 2 and half cup of Vodca Rebina. Super bloated and kinda sick of the alcohol after that. Last drink of the day was a cup of Coke. Haa. Buay Tahan.

Chat ladies talk, played games, dance-drink-dance-drink-dance.. was pretty high, but still very awake la, I'm amazed myself too.

First time ever been approached by soo many guys in one night. Might be because we look like potential easy prey, with just 2 of us and no guys to protect. ok.. some of them are decent enough to intro themself while most just kinda try to be funny moving super doper close to be comfortable.. all I want is to just enjoy my self and Dance. Assholes. And, the songs blasting and already "chao hi lang".. How on earth will I be able to hear what u trying to say?!.. its sooooo damn dark on the dance floor and already high on alcohol, how am I to be able to see you?! Just totally wrong la. then again, deep inside.. quite "song" la, be what ever intention those people have. Hey I control the limit. No tom dick or harry can easily take advantage of me or Jie. Haa.

My Mousey year is busy....

My life has been overwhelmed by sch sch sch and school.... been missing my kickboxing for 3 consecutive classes liao... hai hai.. and my cough came back again.. in the process of recovery now..

Have been working till late nights in school for design.. I stayed over night in studio last Friday working on physical model. .. Then time just seems to rush by since then..

Friday's Clement 26th Birthday, guy right of me in grey top.

In school working from Friday morning till Saturday afternoon 3pm.. Then rush home to pack, bath before speeding straight to East Coast Chalet for Dear dear's 26th birthday celebration. I was suppose to go early to help out, but theres just work to do for I have interim on the coming Monday... Time not enough ah.. Sobz.. anyway, reached at 7pm, managed to pull myself together to entertain his friends before finally going up to sleep after more then 36 hours of non-sleep. Guilty not able to prepare much for dear's 26th. but glad dear dear is very understanding. :) blessed.

Happy birthday my dear!

Woke up 10am reluctantly on Sunday as it was time to check up. was suppose to go back home to repack my stuffs before then heading again to school to continue 'chionging' work. Haa. But dear dear going to but his first important investment in his life- a car. How can I miss this out for school. Never! we went to a few places.. dear did his research and market studies so we were just going around to make final rounds before making his decision.

this is dear dear's new baby. hee. Toyota Corolla Axio. His getting a dark grey color.

After car shopping, back home for dinner, then da bao dinner for the 8 hungry studio mates to school. It was 9pm by then. haiz. back in sch OT the 2nd night...

Monday interim was slamed like shit.. the tutors do not understand our design intention at all.. But I think they are too conservative that when something out of thier comfort zome is been challanged, they get defensive. Then again, they did post useful comments. Still I believe in what we want to achieve. Kheng Soon studio rocks!!! Do not give up!!! Whoosh!!

Finally back home at 8pm plus.. (sianz... cant go Jielin's wedding photo shot.. so want to see my best gal in her prettiest...) I sleep like a dead log till today 1pm. but till now I still feel very tired.. need more time to recover. but seems like theres alot more of this OTs coming up.

Haiz.. busy ah.. design lots to resolve, very behind time le.. and coming Friday got dissertation proposal to complete by.. haven started. die die die..

Ps: gd news.. Friday submission postpone to next monday.. still... wat to do wat to do.. argh.!... stuck... btw its term break next week.. but does it matter any way.. so much work pending to be done..

Saturday Queenstown site studies + interview

My first time surveying people. Aim is to understand their views of the current HDB model, area they happy with it, with respect to community building, wha is their views... 有点小怕怕，紧张。碰了六七次的钉子，终于有救星来了！With the first sucess rate, the following interviewed were surprisingly smooth. I had a great time chating with them. Although they are a unfriendly lots in Singapore, theres many more that are very approachable and nice.

新加坡的步伐太快了，忙着维持生计，忙着忙那，忘了如何守望相助。人变的自私，只顾自己，邻居之间的互动几乎都不存在了。

Where has the kampong spirit of the past gone to?

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. Team Barcelona with Hans Meyer

2008-01-27T22:33:00.000+08:00

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.

人是世界上最可怕的动物。庆幸我有天使在身旁保护，

提醒我提防这些披着人皮的恶魔。

Yanling's 肥猫, with Hans Meyer (His giving a lecture) at background and Tay K.S back facing the camera.
Team Barcelona!! (name by our naggy firus, extreme left) a pity Zoutong, Handsome Rik n pretty Vera not there for phototaking.
Working late in Studio. But still as cheery. Yeah! Done and Pin up time!

ps: more pics on final crit come up soon!

2008-01-24T00:57:00.001+08:00

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

2008-01-16T21:18:00.000+08:00

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..

2008-01-15T19:55:00.001+08:00

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.

2008-01-14T00:12:00.000+08:00

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.

~~ MY BEST XMAS EVER! ~~

Today, Daddy just bought back last week 8days. It made this years Xmas a special one for me.

My love for architecture, I can feel it coming back to me now.

I think its has been 3years+ ago ba... Villa Santi is my 1st project that I work on in my 1st real job after graduation from SP. My 1st baby.

Several developments together made up Villa Santi; there is the apartments fronting the sea, the condos, the exculsive suites, the eclipse- shaped restaurant, and the chalet like resorts at the top most. It was just at preliminary design stage when I 1st got involved, with Dear Danny(senior architect now associate i think) and Jeff(my director) and a handful of colleagues.. Waaaa.. this is really bringing back lots of fond memories.. the good old days..

I remembered the restaurant was real pain in the ass to cad. its ecplise leh. the roof panels, columns and window had to be drawn in 3d to get exact cut lines for sections, and dimensions for later tender, construction dwgs.

I remembered the dozens of sections I cut through the developments. Those are fun! think its after Villa Santi that I started to love drawing sections. Its only through sections that one can really see and appreciate the spaces within.

I remembered having to coordinate structurer dwgs, MnE, interior, Kitchen designer and the landscaping dwgs, updatings.. . checks... emailing back and fro.... amendments.... it all seems pretty worth while.. this sense of adrenaline I feel seeing the baby that I was so involved in completed and in papers. I feeel Proud even. Haaa. So happy. Cant explain.

I had my 1st chance of working with ever bubbly Mark, my 3D mentor. I've learned super great deal in Max n photoshoping. I had the chance of doing rendering. Those were tiring yet so much fun too!

View of entire Villa Santi Ariel view, and Restaurant Night view below featured in 8days.
Proud to say Im part of a wonderful team that made this renderings too!! WAhaaaa!!

Be waiting in anticipation to visit Villa Santi. Phuket shall be my next holiday destination!!!!

To Dear all that had made a difference in my life and made me a better person....
to my Dear buddies that has always protected me from harm & watching over me...
to my Dear and family that love me so....
Merry Xmas!!!

我们的歌Archi Anthem!

把每天當成是交圖的dead line

一分一秒

都改到淚水掉下來

不理會

客戶是看好或看壞

只要你勇敢

給我改

哎......

這條路沒法改

沒感覺去對著電腦all day and all night

享受現在

別一說改就怕受傷害

許多好圖我們相信

全靠改出來！

死了都要改

不推翻重來不痛快

我們這行

都是這樣

個個都明白

死了都要改

不改到通宵不痛快

宇宙毀滅甲方還在

.
把每天

當成是交圖的dead line

一分一秒都趕到淚水掉下來

不理會

最後是改好或改壞

只要有時間

你還得改

so.......

不要改得太快

你改得越快

他的想發也就變得快

改到現在

才發現他妈的都變態

沒有奇跡

我們相信

往死裡改！

死了都要改

不理你身體好與壞

三個通宵你就會死掉

死得不明白

死了都要改

不改到飆尿不痛快

改到停電沒鬼曬

.
窮途末路都要改

不說句葬話不痛快

筆會損壞

圖會掩埋計算機還在！

到絕路都要改

不日夜顛倒不痛快

改到最後還得改！

改到變態才精彩!

2007-11-13T20:49:00.000+08:00

its finally over... with much help from everyone. I thank you.

my FaceBook Picture Personality Test results...
wow! how more true can it be!! cool.

Temperament- Idealist
You are the quintessential dreamer - spending more time thinking about the possibilities that the world holds for you, rather than your reality. You don't settle for anything less than what you truly desire and you work very hard. You tend to live in every place except the present - you are prone to daydreaming about the future and re-thinking the choices you made in the past. Sometimes you get overly caught up in your thoughts.

Interests- Balanced
You are methodical, orderly and precise. You enjoy life most when it's uncluttered, predictable and certain. You have a noticeable propensity for detail and even the tiniest bit of disruption throws off your well maintained balance. In a world that can leave you feeling out of control and chaotic, you are a constant for yourself and for others. When all else seems to be changing, you tend to remain the same.

Amusement- Thoughtful
You are easily stressed out and overwhelmed - you need to take care of yourself first and foremost. Because you tend to be self reflective, you know your limits quite well and must remember to not exceed those limits. When you overwhelm your life with obligations and responsibilities, you tend to shut down and go into yourself even further. Take some time to find your serenity and kick back your feet.

Passion- Physical
You are a cuddle bug - from a warm hug shared with your best friend to steamy sex with your partner, you enjoy every bit of human contact that you can get. You demonstrate your love for others most fluidly through physical one-on-one contact and you feel the most loved when you are being touched. You feel disconnected when you are physically isolated from others. You're a people person and a lover of all things human.

Happily Married!!

My love to Dear Jie Lin her Hubby Alvin. Jie, you are officially Mrs Lin. Heee.

Ice cream to DE-Stress

Ice 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.. .

2007-10-08T23:46:00.000+08:00

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 awesomeDoodle 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)

Saturday, Woke up in a shock at 8.30am.. almost late for my trip down to Singapore new T3 organised by my department. We are the previledged few singapore citizens to be walking through the T3 o. seein git first and. hee... even the big shots of Singapore, the MM.. etc are goin to see it first time on the 17th Oct as we are told by the chief architect. No pics, as we are told. heee. i managed a few illegally. Not a fantasic shot, haaa.. oops.. this show the articulation of the T3 roof.
If i will to plot my life pattern on a graph. it will be this high peak and then followed by the extreme plunge before shotting up to a peak again. its never balance out. Its the start of another busy week.. JIA YOU!! XY jia you! Woosh!

2007-09-28T18:01:00.000+08:00

星期六- 881

看了八八一，感触良多。。。

小木瓜，大木瓜的痛，我和昭都感同深受。。

她们的歌仿佛唱出了她的心声。。

当时装坚强的我被打败了。。泪水直流。心好痛。

我知道我的昭也哭了。想到这我的心更痛。

希望在天堂的她能感受到爱子的思念，永远守护这她的孩子。。

那晚的雨下的异常的大。。。

Start of Sem break

Seems that Friday's late night K session with Poly pals aint enough. I went for a second round in less then 12 hours with Layhar. Haa.. intense. 4 hours from Fri plus 5 hours on Sat, I've clocked 9 hours!! Thats the longest record ever for me. Thou its nothing to be proud of. Im just amazed with myself. 也觉得越来越败家了... spent a total of 50 bucks on these. I can feel the stress on my pocket.. Im a poor student.

2007-09-19T17:36:00.000+08:00

Im Bored..

Been slacking since interim.. Procrastinating.. Studio tom and still nothing out. Bleah!... 好烦啊。今晚可要熬夜咯。

你再拍我吗？
可怜不要脸look.
经典pose. Hm.. 该怎么design 呢？。。 New craze: my collection of Doraemon. 5 so far.

2007-09-17T14:18:00.001+08:00

Following dear Jie's blog >> theses are how I feel these days...

洋葱大头

放空。。。no idea

啊！。。不干了。。

完蛋。。脑死。。

24/7 打瞌睡。

啊！烦！。

2007-09-16T22:31:00.000+08:00

Pui... 1 week gone again...

Interim.. hm.. Im not satisfied with myself la.. Did not do much to show.. But all in all, it was a fruit full one in turn of the feedbacks the crit panel gave. oh, about them..its a power packed session.. Besides my tutor, Perry, Tay Keng Soon and JTC's One-North masterplanner head & ppl were present.. Much of the time during the crit was spend listening to the intensive and 'chim' conversation between K.S n the JTC head. Every point they pointed out to us students is like an enlightenment process. Haaa. We will, or at least for me, I'll go 'Ahh....' 'Wooo....' 'Hm...'. Haaa.. Theres still much to learn in this path of Architecture Design.

Learning Rhino 4 at the moment. People! RHINO rocks!!! it can draw 3D curves in minutes! you can get the entire vivo out just like that. See this pic (example from web), you will go crazy if drawn in Max, no idea how you gonna draw those curves. BUT rhino makes it easy. Cool right! rhino's going to the next big thing. 3D Max bewarned.

Not much going on in my live.. Hm.. stuck to my crunchyroll watching animes these days.. and have craving for tidbits and anything sweet too. maybe thats why I'm still not recovering well enough from my sickness. Medication finished yet again. Little cough now and then.. no big deal.. Its the pain that Im kinda worried. its goin to be too dry to tell in detail. But hey still surviving well, just have to head back to the docs the first thing tomorrow.

2007-09-08T23:41:00.000+08:00

Weak Xin xin..
back to the Docs a few days back. Thursday I think.. Have not completely recover from my Bronchitis.. well I thought I was getting better. apparently not so soon ba.. The muscles along my left rib hurts when ever I do any big actions, cough or sneeze.. and sure hurts bad. Got scolding from the doc. haaa.. din listen to her, should have went back for a second set of medication the other time, and maybe Ill be well now.. thou Im not to sure bout the 'muscle ache'.. just does not seem logical for me the link between my bronchitis and the pain. it hurts even when Im not coughing. hm.. I shall wait and see how it progresses for now. My nose is 'drooling' today.. damn.. when will I get well?...

Interim's this coming Monday. nothing done. I need 2 more xinying..

Ps: started my Facebook account. I've uploaded more HK photos for u guys.
Click >> eye candy HK

Vivo
friday suppose to be my non school day.. but turn out I have Vivo site visit... for facade studies.. duh.. noting fantastic bout it.. the unglam weathering on the curve walls and the steel structures just puts me off.. just my luck to be assigned to this building... I have to admit if one ignores the crude detailings, its actually a good place for phototaking, loads of potential photo angles

The Model Makers
Its back to school for a full day lasering and model making after morning's Vivo
See, Building laser out from acrylic sheets and painstakingly hand cleaned and stick layer by layer to form the final massing. Cool huh.
Tadah! our One-North site model- spend the entire Friday morning till night 9pm and still in progress. to be continued on Monday. gonna look superb when its done. this is how my glass box Studio looks like. Small but cosy enough.

2007-08-31T23:25:00.000+08:00

Happy Friday

After 3 weeks of waiting, my studio finally got some concrete site infomations and plans from JTC. Well, we have plans, but they just have to be irritating creatures to give us only the PDF versions... I mean thou we got the PDF converted to cad files, but theres all the layers to sort out, cleaning of dwg to do, scaling and stuff.. so time consuming...

My design is in a horrible state as for now... jia lat jia lat.. now theres 3d site model to do on top of my individual design.. haiz.. this weekend isnt going to be easy.

Still, its a happy day. Haa. My face is fine now, and Im almost ALMOST recovering from my illness, still coughing every now and time.. Heck.. too many temptations out there. psst* I had Gelare for desert after dinner. shh....

Check out this 2 websites I got to know of, introduced to me by Shi Hui, my studio mate. :)

The cup cakes just make my drool. and Kawaii neh! Jie, you might wanna get some inspirations for ur wedding too. hee
Cupcakes Momma >> OMG! Doreamon themed cupcake wedding tiers. Aint they cute!.. thou Im kinda into Doreamon these days, I dont think I'll go to that extend. Hm...I sense a Pooh theme coming up soon. Haaa. hint* hint* Jie ..

Need a wedding planner? >> Heavens-gift

If Im rich enough by then, a wedding planner might be good to have. :)

2007-08-29T19:03:00.000+08:00

Swollen Face...

This is so sickening.. the new Neutrogena moisturiser I bought a few days ago is making my face red n sore..... and it itch as Im blogging now... argh.. Should have just stick to my old one.

Eclipse Live!
28th Aug
LIVE from Southern Cross Observatory in Tasmania, Australia.

The live stream is available from 5.30pm - 8.30pm. The Moon will be in the Total Eclipse phase from approximately 5.50pm - 7.20pm. Australia time.

This is SO Cool!!.. Being able to witness without my actual presence>> The power of technology, creating another dimension of timelessness.. blurring the boundary.. space no longer exist.. a sense of spaceless-ness, space of flow in 4D.. Haaa. this is the after effect from what I am studying for my current design project: Architecture for the future, influence of the Digital technology.

Whats Even cooler bout this is that Jie's the 'culprit' behind this website design. Haaa. Nice. I think I need a new blog skin soon. hint hint*

ps: I've cropped and shifted the title in CS. Actual Webpage do not look like this.

2007-08-27T09:58:00.000+08:00

Saturday Studio

The worst comment one can get from a tutor is >> nothing. Yap. nothing.
tutor: good. some very nice sketches over there.. very logical thinking..
Thats all he said before been interupted by QnA from my studio mates.. duh.. after much thoughts, this is what I come out with from tutors response:

Work done is good. Nothing wrong since all is through logical thinking. But as for now, theres no strong concept presented, no model to express what I actually want to do. The small random ideas aint enough for tutor to comment on. Yap, so thats all he can say to me as yet.

Gambatte neh!

Monday studio again and Im only just about to start work. Lazy lazy.. Spent the entire weekend with Dear and negliated school work. Sure hope weekends can be made longer.

2007-08-24T00:27:00.000+08:00

Bronchitis
From Wikipedia>>>

Bronchitis is inflammation of the bronchi (medium-size airways) in the lungs. Acute bronchitis is usually caused by viruses or bacteria and may last several days or weeks. Chronic bronchitis is not necessarily caused by infection and is generally part of a syndrome called COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease); it is defined clinically as a persistent cough that produces sputum (phlegm), for at least three months in two consecutive years. The remainder of this article deals with acute bronchitis only.
Acute bronchitis is characterized by cough and sputum (phlegm) production and symptoms related to the obstruction of the airways by the inflamed airways and the phlegm, such as shortness of breath and wheezing. Diagnosis is by clinical examination and sometimes microbiological examination of the phlegm. Treatment may be with antibiotics (if a bacterial infection is suspected), bronchodilators (to relieve breathlessness) and other treatments.

Signs and symptoms
Bronchitis may be indicated by an expectorating cough,shortness of breath (dyspnea) and wheezing and occasionally chest pains, fever, and fatigue or malaise. Sputum characteristics do not correspond with a particular etiology (ie, viral vs bacterial)

Tadah! My long overdued entry.

So many things to update on that I have no idea where to begin.. ok brief brief BRIEF of these few months>>

Well my HK summer school is fantastic, thou some hiccups in between, its not major to spoil the trip. Superb shopping place for all shopaholics out there. If not for the self contraints I impose on myself, I think I'll be super broke, OVERspending more what the sponsered amount my parents gave me. Still I over shoot a little la, heeee.... Im lucky that my baggage weight din burst too. Further more, great out skirt islands to explore, ultra delicious food every where... down side is the bad air dirty env.

Inital day of departure is 4th Aug. But a sudden uneventful event occured on the 1st.. Dear called.. his mum in critical condition therefore his hoping I be home asap. So, I (was at Mong kok shopping then) flew back hostel to get a earliest possible flight.. I forfited my Jetstar flight.

2nd Aug

Departure: 8pm HK

United Airline

Everything happened so fast. From the 1st call I got from dear till I got my online ticket is like 1.5 hours? I received another call from dear. I was too late...

So I was actually back in Singapore on the night of 2nd Aug. I unpacked and repacked another set of clean cloths, and I off to Malaysia to Dear's house the next day.

I was there with Dear through out the entire... its the worst kind of feeling that one can experience. Hell with the 'pain' that people always whin bout the torture they have after a breakup or the ordeal they have to endure.. Those are nothing! just crap in comparision.. No, its incomparable!.. no words to describe.. I was tortured mentally and phycially tired out from the irregular sleeping hours and from witnessing everything first hand.. from feeling utterly useless for theres nothing I can do to lessen what dear and his family are undergoing.. But still Im glad Im there, for thats the only thing I can do, My presence, seeing her off, taking care of her family as much as I can, helping where ever needs.. that the least I can do for her.

So 8th Aug, back in Singapore, back at my home. finally get to really unpack my HK stuff..

9th Aug>> had a simple 5th year anni with my dear watching the fire works display at a field near to Lao Pa Sa. I was feeling sick and coughing then..

10th Aug>> I got fever and cough getting worst so to the doctors I went. Thats the start of my decline in health... For whatever reason Im not too sure, I wasnt given the cough med of all the med he gave... NVM.. A week past.. Coughing no sigh of healing... 2nd round to Doc> this time my left eye is beginning to sore and left ear kinda feel block... NVM... the doc said nothing but the issue of those I pointed out... He gave ANOTHER STRONGER dose of antibotics and another bunch of dowsy medications... the same day, but night time now, my left eye is totally red and sore.. to the doc 3RD time.. this time he gave me the eye drip... Hell with him... useless fella.. by this time School has started... my 1st week of school was spent sleeping most of the time.. I missed 2 days of the 4 days of schooling... I really slept alot.. you have no idea...

So now Im into my 4th week of coughing... visited another Doc. This is so much better. It turns out I have 'Broncitis'.. not too sure bout the spelling.. but its lung infection.. makes my lung sensitive thereby causing me to cough. so its not my throat's problem.. so cough syrup wont work... shitz... given a asmathic medication as she says my symthoms is similar so the medication is as such.. I was told not to worry too much... The pills aint cheap... hope I really get better soon. Im so tired of coughing every day..

At least i have unlimited net access, the pays good too. hm... but I really need to get myself expose to other work environment out there. Went fishing with dear straight after work @ same old- Bedok jetty. Nice Weather, clear sky, a good day for star glazing. and what a sight too!! Beautiful. I wasnt exactly fishing. Kinda just help dear with setting ups, then laid the picnic mat, ate the Ota we bought .. then made my self comfortable lying down.. and ZZZzzzz... Haa.. :P

A trip down to St'james with dear after dinner. Saw Hao at work. Poor chap.. I see Hao gotta walk up and down carrying these huge packs of ices on his shoulder.. indication of good business at Dargonfly la.. Music is good, so much better then zouk. The live band is a bonus too, with a few singers rotating to perform, giving more varities for enjoyment. Still hate the smoke.. looking forward to the next trip to Club when I return from HK.

我只能为你画一张卡片。。。 love in the cards
第97页，几米

你很忙，你一直很忙，我知道。你要忙到什么时侯，其实我也知道，就是一直忙下去。等你不忙的时候，开始换我忙。

我很忙，我一直都在忙，你不知道吗！忙些什么？你怎么能问我这个问题，难道你看不出来吗！自己忙时难道我有质疑过你的忙吗！我要一直忙，一直忙，一直忙到或许等你也开始忙的时候，才可能渐渐不忙。

我们都很忙，我们一直很忙，忙得无法告诉对方我们何时不忙，我依然爱你，想抱抱你。但我们很忙，我们的忙，一切一切都是为了我们的将来，不是吗？

我体谅你。请你也体谅我。我们继续忙吧！爱你。

Since work started, I think Im just too lazy to blog any more. Being going for fun short trips and places for the past weeks. Navy open house, Bintan with dear n old old lovely buddies and the recent JB Big family outing. PS: I got my Toshiba lappy at the PC fair. Double yeappy!! .. Friday gonna be my last day at work. Triple Hip Hip hooray!! Until then, maybe I'll start blogging seriously again. 2 weeks before I fly to HK for summer school. Waiting in anticipation.. till then.. Im slacking in office now.. boring...

Side track:

It was all work and nothing else for the past week.. damn hectic. Did my longest OT starting from Thurday morning till Fri mid afternoon.. I barely survived the bus journey back home, dozing off even while standing. Thou busy, I kinda manage to squeeze some fun into my time off work.

Bear Bear I bought at a budget store just below my office block. Cut a top for it from a free airflight socks. thought he look kinda gay-ish. Opps.

Super fast recap:

Tues>> lunch speed down to Kimage to get my hair trimed, both front and back. I doubt anyone will notice unless I told you about it. anycase I think I look neater.

Wednesday>> Janet's 23rd Bd celebration at Newyork Newyork for dinner. Then off to the dreadful office to work again..

Thurday>> just work and more work. packed goodies, ration, toiletries, clothings..etc.. all ready to work over the night.

Friday>> complete work. mentally gone by then.. dear send me 1st hand photos he captured at Changi work site for what we thought to be tornado.. which turn out to be actually what the 'experts' we assuring we ppl that its just a harmless water sprout... I was too shagged then to responses much to it. home and slept like a pig.

Sat>> Skipped Kickboxing. Still pig-ing. Zzzzz.. Met up with dear. Watched Pirates of the Caribbean @ woodlands. Love it!!! Dinner at Geylang. Then swift off to for the archi exhibition at Vivo before I call it a day. Was very tempted to join dear to St james for his friends BD party but I was still very drained from the OTs... need my sleep.. Apparently they opened 2 bottles of 3litre hard liquor and down it all by 2am!! Amazingly expensive.. Then again its a 30ppl party, so I suppose this much is required to feed the liquor addicts. Heee..

Sun>> Fun filled day @ Navy open house

Much time was spend trying to find a spot to park near Expo (all carparks full!!). It wasnt an easy task too. All roads around are lined with cars.. faintz.. A long Q awaits us at Expo too. took us an hour beofre boarding the coach to the Navy base. Upon reaching, more waiting at stations to each vessel. But all's worthwhile. Got a ride in a 'I-have no-idea what-its-called' , then up another vessels, and finally a trill ride on a speed boat travelling at a top speed of 90k/hr. COOL!

It was a sunny day, great for photo taking. thou it got a little greyish near the end of afternoon, we were rewarded with a beautiful rainbow! yeah! [ ps: notice I have been flooding of own blog with too much photos, heee.. trying to be selective now. ]

2007-05-13T00:56:00.000+08:00

Sat> Dear's having company trip to Bali over the weekend... while I'm back in office to work.. din really have much sleep this week, have being taking working home to do and the pass few days have being out. tired ah tired. got to rest soon.. tom mother's day.. goin to bukit timah to climb mountain again.

Recap: thu met up with jie n chyi @ vivo for dinner and shopping. There's so many pretty things that we saw but all are way beyond our budget. need to earn more!!

(collage 'kop' from jielin's blog. heeee..)

Saw this very feminine tube dress at Zara. Love it!! but it cost 119.. duh... I need sponsorship..

Saw this Kawaii mega huge Pooh at action city. Jie was instantly in love with it, took pic with it and send it to her fiance to see. Guess wat>> He accompanyed Jie back to Vivo the next day (yest) to get it for her. SOOOO SWEET!! and its not cheap O! I want to be pampered too!!!!

Then just yesterday (Fri), met up with poly pals. Dine at marina Sq changing appetide, desert was at Haagen daz explanade, then most importantly phototaking session. It was kinda short gathering, most have work the next day. Hope to be able to do something fun the next time we meet. Sentosa maybe? hee.

Yawn... sleepy.. off.. tom's gonna be a busy day. I still go office work to complete at home..

2007-05-10T00:38:00.000+08:00

So Im back working at AWP.. only a week had past and Im already looking forward to my last day. I finally remembered why I insist on not returning there before>> minimum interaction between colleagues>> boring>> unorganised office system>> everything is in a mess>> work pace is slow>> entire office culture is pretty bad>> no drive to work>> feel very 'nua'>> doing shitty work again.. and don see eye to eye with this sorta new architect Im working with currently.. haiz.. 'ren'.. cant choose who I want to work with.. I'll just have to bare with it, take it as a training to deal with people like this.

Enough bout this boring topic.. something much more exciting to blog about> my Sibu island kelong fishing trip during the recent weekend 5th may till 6th may!! Its a 2D1N trip with dear and his colleague. Ita bout 2 hours car journey to the jetty, whereby we park our car there [security to look after the car, so no worries], then 25mins on the boat to the Kelong. Think its bout 70bucks per person( its a sponsored trip for me. heee ), all meals+supper are provided by the kelong.

Besides fishing, there's a pool table, kara-ok and majong to keep you busy. Thou on a personal note, come on la! isnt this suppose to be a out of city escapade trip, to unwind?! K-ing and the majong produce sound... and fishes don exactly like noise.. other than hearing those irritating noise pollution occasionally when i walk pass, It's fantastic! Love the sun, the sea, the sky, the sea breeze and the wood> laid back and Soooo comfortable, kinda like a cheaper version of club med. thou I would be able to enjoy the silence of the kelong if not for the Purdential Ppl that were there for company trip.. they are SOO noisy.. how well.. my pics will do the talking from here. :) no words can discribe how I've enjoyed myself.

The boat that ferry us to the kelong

A great alternative for a laid back holiday> cheap and relaxing, fishing day and night. never mind if you cant catch any big ones, marine fishes can be seen every where for ur viewing pleasure.

A cool 'beach boy' which i think embodies the essence of the place> a nice tanned, slim,
firm body and rod on hand> Enjoy life and fish! heeee..

Biggest catch of the day>> by our Jo boy!!

Close up shot. still very much alive

Beautiful sunset!! First time ever to see the full glory of it, and enjoying my dinner at the same time. :)

Night fishing>> being a sotong myself for so many year, I never know sotongs are transparent until now. See those big greenish eyes.. Eeeks.. their body seems to have electric current flowing within, flashing strips appears randomly along their body..

Our sleeping place. Bed are allocated by the kelong incharge, so no worries of 1st come 1st serve. We are provide with blankets too. A open concept mass sleeping area. kinda awardard initially but I couldnt care less after a long day of fishing.

Day 2> enjoying every second of it.

No concrete. All timber. I like!

As you can see, I have not exactly been 'blogging'. I should say its more of a picture gallery. Heee. the new digi cam of mine is abit addictive. Furthermore, Im too lazy.. so hope the pictures explains enough. Just a quikie>> I had my longest record fishing at bedok jetty last night. reach home round 6am after having breakfast at mac.. bathed and head straight to bed. Woke up at 2pm, lunched, uploaded pics(see previous blog), then it about time for me to head out again. heee. Meeting Layhar at Orchard for some shopping.

Got myself a pair of new shoes for my first day of work tom. ok. time to sleep. got to wake up REaL early tom. Have not enjoyed enough yet. kinda regretting starting work so early. haa.. anyway, must start earning, Im sooo broke!

I've K-ed.

Yap. K box till the wee hours.. Managed to keep myself awake till 3am. woke up by a phone call.. 9.45am!! gosh! lucky me. Had Regi not call me, I'll be late for my 11am appt at AWP. Well, I managed to reach on time. Feels great to be back at the place Im so familiar with. I've been goin back every now and then for the past 4 year. ya, u heard me, 4 years!!! Don wan ppl to feel Im a leech and lazy. Further more I've declared to a number of my AWP colleagues of not wanting to go back again... Pai seh ah.. its not like I din put the effort to look for one. I did! DP's still considering my job application, and I cant affort the time to wait any longer. The later I start the lesser time I have to work, by then it will be too short a time span for anyone to want employ me if DP decided not to want me anymore. So there.. AWP again. Got Lay har to go too. Dan was telling me ALL the project that we will have a chance of getting involve in. The list goes on.. interesting works, haa. but i doubt we can do all within the 7 weeks work. Still its so generous and kind of him to give us a brief but concised run through of everything AWP is doing now. Dan go on saying that this time round they will giving us more designing task, we are not draughtpersons anymore, so it will be a good learning experience for us. Kinda freaks me out thou, Haaa. Wasnt expecting to do any of those.. But I suppose it will be gd opportunity to see how 'creative' and design I am.

DDP (3d rendering) is looking for potential perm staff that has kin interest in Architecture and min basic knowledge of 3d rendering , better still if u are a pro, if not ample opportunity for you to learn. Intership ppl can also apply. The Boss, Mark, is a great person to be working with. So any candidates interested, or if you think you have any ideal person in mind, do drop me a msg ya.

Window shopped at The Central. Not fully occupied as yet, but already quite alot to shop. Ahh. not blogging anymore, I wanna maple!!!

I photoshoped myself into the curtain wall image. I think my addition spoils the image. But since I've done it, I thought I might as well just post it. I look so chubby..

Impromt shot of Har. Nice.

Exams Over! then its Mambo time!!

This's gonna be a quick one. JUst woke up like 3pm and I'll be off for my K marathon soon. heee
Last night was crazy! BU paper ended at 7pm (note: din get much sleep the day b4, last min muggin). Together with all the poly uni clique, its off to Vivo, white dog cafe, for dinner. Y.Q was there too, kind of him to fetch us gals frm sch while the rest took bus.. very lucky too cause it was pouring damn heavily la. After dinner was desert at Haagen Daz.. haa.. guys don seem to be full.. I was already bloated after having pasta for dinner.. kinda just tag along drinking free ice water withour ordering anything.
10.30pm. time to head off to Zouk. jo n me met up with Qiuru and Huijing at the entrance. Quite surprise to spot some other archi ppl there too. Haaa.
Anyway.. its time to party!! hop between Velvet and Zouk mambo.. din really drink much.. Vodca rebina, Vodca lime + 7up.. cant really taste anything but the soft drink it self.. bleah.. anyway i can get high without any drinks from dancing.. heee. so doesnt matter. quite pissed with having to Q so long for a drink.. well, i nvr need to do this b4, guys always get the drink for us.. no guys yesterday, so bobian.. not very high la overall, my gal friends aint very crazy. heee.. Mambo was o-k.. love RnB velvet more, more beat to dance to.. SO its dance dance dance till the light came up. 4am.. I cant feel my legs any more.. why do we have to wear heels to dance... haaa. it pays to be vain.. Home, bathed.. drop dead at 5am..

Girls night out!

Should I dump my specs??? hm...

....................................................................................................................................
Called Danny, colleague from Awp. Haaa. Seems that I'll still be back there working again. Was told I wll have more interesting stuff to work on this time round. We'll see. anyway the pay will be the best among the the jobs. Mark msn me too, his in need of a 3d perm staff n some help too. Got layhar n regi to go together.. So its 11am tom.. be having a chat with the both of them.

2007-04-23T15:28:00.000+08:00

Boiling point reached

11am on my computer>> checked NUS mail>> no RIBA news>> 1pm>> still waiting>> off for lunch>> 2pm>> getting impatient, not started on studies yet>> emailed Hwee lee to find out why the delay>> 3pm still infront of the computer>> hwee lee replied>> '' judging from the progress, the RIBA presentation for the rest will start on tuesday, check your email later''....

AHHH!!!! %!~$%*#?#!

We were reminded again and again to check our email this morning, to see if we are the selected onces by the RIBA panels for presentation thats is supposely starting right about now.. and ALL this waiting for nothing. The relevant department should for the very least have the courtesy to send a email to inform everyone about the delay. But no, they assumed we have all the time in the world to wait for something thats not gonna happen. So inconsiderate of them!! There are still pending exams to prepare for!!! Because of their incorrigible action, I've wasted my entire day away.. It aint fun to wait you know.. Its like waiting for death penalty..

Presenting for RIBA is nothing near easy. RIBA has every power to pull up your grade or fail you. And judging from my works, I am not confident in dealing with the RIBA at all.. So you see, people here are anxiously waiting for the result posting of the name list, hoping that our name will not appear. the mind will only be at rest until I get to see the list. Just let me know if Im selected. If so, just let me get it done and over with. If not, then great! The unsettleness Im feeling now is irritating.. so distracting.. then how on earth would I able to concentrate on my studies..

If I have not been so pissed till I send a email to Hweelee to get some answers, I think I will still be wasting time waiting..

I found another reason to hate NUS..

Anger released thou my words.. I feel better now. Shall not get too affected.. anyway am SOO looking forward to WednesdaY!! Weeee!.. officially freed for holiday on wed 7pm. Dinner appt with Y.Q n ppl @ Holland, then its straight to Mambo!!.. catch a good night sleep .. thu rise n shine.. get my study room tidied.. then its off to Orchard for my Kbox marathon 7pm to 3am!! ..whooppy!!! I wonder I will still have any energy left in me to go ahead with my Sentosa trip. :)

Btw, I'm applying for DP. I cannot convince myself to accept the absurd offer made by Aedas..

I've bought my HK air tickets. Yeah! The date n time are fixed. No detours, decided Im too broke to fly anywhere else.

One down. one to go. Woosh!

Guess what, I only used one night to study my Arch Con paper for today. wahaaa.. Im the best!.. I was happy slacking my time away until I realised I have not much time left. Got Lay har to stay over again. hee. cant study alone la. need someone to force me to study or I'll be back at my maple again. damn hopeless.

I only did the tutorials n past yr paper. But that was more than enough to score. ALL questions identical to tutorials. how cool is that! A.. but apparently one night of memorising isnt adequate to remember all. On the bright side, Im definitly going to pass this. Wahaa.. Second section tougher thou is managable> details drawing, similar to what we did in Poly.. did not study for it, just kinda do from memory.

Hey enough bout the test!.. lunch was at Holland's Hog's Breath Cafe, western cuisine, cafe at day, pubbar by night. The food was so-so, pretty high on the price tag for the kind of food served. But the serving is huge! Had it for lunch at 3pm and Im still feeling bloated!! Am gonna skip my dinner. gosh.. feeling fat.. think I will die doing tom's kickboxing.. been weeks since I last went.

Thats bout all today. gonna Maple my night away, and maybe enjoy some movies @ crunchyroll.com. (do check it out! way better than Youtube) Friday is SLACK day! Yeah!

ps: praying hard not to be selected for RIBA.. *pray*

Counting down to freedom. Next Wed, Clubbing anyone? oh and Thu Kbox throu the night, any takers? plus Fri Sentosa!!!!! drop me a msg ya!!!

New Yorks Grill I think.. 25 bucks.. choice of mash potato, fries or baked potato, & chioce of vege or salad. I had medium, but there seems to be no difference in comparision to Angela's medium raw... duh.. my dear can do better than that, and with just the use of a microwave n some pepper seasoning.

Something salmon.. not fantastic either. but the side dishes are good. like the curly fries and mash potato.

Yap, another pic to show.

I have an Issue..

I was looking forward to my 2k job but looks like its all my dreams now. Was at Aedas with Har, Geo n C.Y to negotiate pay and taking down of particulars. Everything went smoothy until the HR staff drop us the bomb.. 1.2K, no OT play, no CPF.. OMG!! my jaw almost drop at that instance!! cant believe what I just heard! Never in my life have I get such low pay b4... I explained that Har and I had actual real working experiences, and come on la.. we are poly graduates! The pay that they are giving is not reflecting that at all. I wont be complaining if I am too like C.Y, a uni archi student from JC with no what so ever experience and cert to be asking for more. But hey!.. I am fully qualified and capable of doing the exact SAME thing as a full time staff, so 1.2K is damn shitty degrading for my standard. Why do I bother to study in NUS then?! to get a lower pay that what I have b4?!.. you must be crazy..

Anyway.. the HR lady then go on explaining that we are here for the experience, to gain valuable skills(yah right.. all archi firm some how does the same thing..) ... and we are just temp stuff.. not working long.. blah blah.. that they can only max. pay us 1.5K.. thats their final call.. What makes my blood boil is her comment saying that, yes, we may get better pay some where else, but doing filing, paper work, printing and useless stuff.

DUH!!!! when DO we ever do that kind of stuff!! come on!! I was a Draftperson, a 3D renderer, I helped in presentation work, under a Design Director in a respectable firm, AWP!!! I really feel like punching her face for belittleing us!!!!! Slap her!! Pui!!

Thats the end of the unfriendly episode.. Fake a smile and then off home...

Do I have to work at Aedas?... Well, its a established big firm, handling the marina IR, there's project at Dubai and lots more.. so should be quite exciting if Im assigned to do those project.. a nice resume too.. the pay for Perm staff is really attractive, so be good to extablish some connection now.. transportation is convinient from my house to work n back... haiz..... come to think of it Im going to work for like 8 weeks?.. I cant really ask for a higher pay cheaque too...
Hm.. maybe I shouldnt be that money face. Its job offer too good to miss over a few hundred dollars I guess.. think by the end of this blog, I already have a answer in mind. Haa.. see I found a good reason to blog, it helps to straighten my thoughts while I type them all out. :)

If alls well, I will be starting a few days later.. 2nd May, Wed... apparently the pay is easier to count for the HR ppl... hm... and I was thinkin of starting ealier.. oh well... better than no work.. Cannot go back to AWP again. must leave comfort zone!

Gosh! 11pm.. need to start mugging.. haven start yet.. Jia lat.. Friday paper.. also no idea what time is the exam.. to ask later.. argh.. k. im gone.

2007-04-17T19:06:00.000+08:00

17.04.07: P3- FINAL CRIT. Studio 12 (technology core)

Finally I'm done with design. Whoppy!!! Yeah!!! All that's left is 2 papers and Im a freeman. Who Ho!! Hmm..... thou not exactly, gonna start work at Aedas right after my exam. Im not complaining. Fact is I cant wait to start work! One day more of work means another days earnings to spend in HK! wahaaa... Lets see.. exam ends 25th april, work starts 26th april, ends 22nd June.. thereafter 26th june flying off to HK, summer school ends 31st july, NO IDEA when I will be back. Heee. thinking of detouring before coming back.. hm.. think think.

Got my digi cam on Sunday. Double whoppy! Fujifilm F31fd. Humble looking but powerful. Cost me (hm.. my dad. hee..) 499 bucks promotional price(was 699 before), comes with a travel tripod, extra lithium batt and a 1G card. What I love about this, is the high ISO goin up to 3200. Cool! then theres picture stabaliser, so gone are the days of blurry pics. I like that Fujifilm's cam function is simple and easy to navigate, not complicated like some other brands. Best of all, power batt that takes up to 580 pics with one charge!!! That I like!! on the down side, do hope for more optical zoom.

2nd in list would be a lap top. I had my eye on a Acer, thou the price is kinda steep, bout 2600. I guess it cant be help too, I need a high power laptop to tahan my rigorous cadding, photoshop and 3d rendering. Gonna check out Sim Lim..

this is the model im looking at http://global.acer.com/products/notebook/as5580.htm

can some helpful soul give me some advices. hee..

2007-04-14T01:01:00.000+08:00

YEah!! finally my days of sufferings are over! Just had my final model submission ealier on. As usual, rushed till the very last minute. Serve me right for slacking through my Wednesday, leaving only Thurday to complete. I mean, I cant help it.. Tuesday was the panels submission. After that I just cant seem to get back self going, is like I've rushed throu one and have to gear on to work on another.. Impossible. . Whatever the reason, it just boils down to the fact that Im plain lazy, no excused about that. Heee..

Talking back on Tuesday.. Managed to queeze 6 panels out by morning to get it printed. phew.. No late submission. Thou Im not satisfied with the end product then again I did what I can. Do really need to thanks the ppl that help me with this project: Mark Chee guidence on detailing, Jielin on my 3D(sorry din use it in the end, no 3d in my panel due to lack of time to do anything about it) and Qiu Ru for staying up till the week hours to help in getting some the fussy work done.

After submission was a dinner treat @ Sushi Tei Holland. New Menu with a number of new dishes spoted. Food aint that bad, too tired to rember the dished I ate. But do note the Softshell crab, its too oily.. yeek.. its a no no. After dinner event was a blur.. went over to Har's home to slack the day away. I had totally no intention of staying over, but the days of OTs really is making me very tired, like wise to Har. Both of us some how ended up sleeping. Haaa... so i Slept over at Har's without bathing or anything.

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..

Saturday
Skipped 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: 300
Catch 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.

2007-03-19T01:34:00.000+08:00

Just to add on to Fri's, finally got my Romance silver. Cost quite a bomb for a poor poor student like me. Sobz. 95 bucks for 100ml. Male's perfume but it smells nice on me. who cares.

Friday: What do you do went theres time to spare in studio and digi cam on hand? Its SNAP-ing time!! Don get me wrong. I am still freakingly piled up with tons of neverending work. But whinning in every single blog doesnt make it go away.

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, thanks

I 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.

Andrew Lloyd-Webber's phenomenal hit first burst onto the London stage 20 years ago, and continues to play to full houses nightly in London, New York and around the world. The Phantom of the Opera has been seen by over 80 million people worldwide, has been performed in more than 20 countries, won over 50 major theatre awards, and grossed more than S$5 billion.

In the musical'sheart-wrenching story of the mysterious "Angel of Music" who lives beneath the Paris Opera House, the hideously disfigured Phantom falls in love with the young singer Christine, and devotes himself to creating a new opera star while exercising a reign of terror over the Opera House's occupants.

With 130 cast, crew and orchestra members, spectacular sets and more than 230 costumes, The Phantom of the Opera contains some of Andrew Lloyd Webber's most famous music and is a worldwide sensation which will take Singapore's audiences on an unrivalled journey in musical theatre.
The Phantom awaits your presence...

He talks effortlessly like all his thoughts just come naturally.. and he sure can talk alot and all if not MOST of His comments is ' one needle see blood' .. he bought out points that even our own tutor are in awe. Apparently His The ONE that comes out with the term ' critical regionalism '!!.. thou my panels were brutally slammed.. I learned a great deal out of it. Do think this is one of the best crit I had.

.: JB Wedding :.

Dear's female cousin's wedding

Rise and shine @ 7am and off to Dear's house before we set off to JB. Dear drove.. reached Bride's house bout 10am. Bridegroom was already there, trying to get his bride to open the door. As not to miss the 'auspicious time'.. the hong bao negociation was cut short in the Jie Meis' dismay.. Bride finally out.. tea ceremony.. phototaking session.. then they are off to Bridegroom's house.

Me and dear stayed at bride's house for lunch buffet before heading back to dear's house. Had a quick rest and we are off to Holiday Plaza.. its Shopping time!!.. it turn out to be quite boring thou.. not of my taste. We window shopped. Dear manage to get a cool polo T. Back @ dear's house 5pm. Slack abit more before bathing and getting change for the Dinner.

Reach the restaurant @ 8pm. To my surprise there's a HUGE hall that belongs to the restaurant, not in the least as bad as a good class hotel. Its a 'Thousand ppl feast' (literal translation frm Chinese) Bridegroom is a business man. The Wedding dinner sure is much happening then the Singapore wedding, at least for this. There's a hired MC and the usual slide slide show of photos. In addition, there's artists performing on stage while we eat. Even a Karaok session after that, guests goin up the stage without hesitation to sing, and not bad singing too. Bride changed 3 gown though out the Dinner. Food is ok. I got headache in the middle of the dinner which affected my appetite.. Weak and sickly.. I was Almost half dead at the end of the dinner.. Enduring.. Dear and I depart to Singapore straight after. I slept the entire journey back home.

* Dinner photo to post soon *

. . . Sisters Day Out . . .

My last Fri holiday before the dreadful semester starts.. decided to go for a little shopping spree with sis @ Bugis after some spring cleaning done with my study room. I bought a white knee length pants and a sweet looking handmaded necklace @ Bugis street :)

- Seems like decades since I last took neo print so decided to have a go at it for fun. It cost us 11 bucks. Wow.. gone were the days of 4 bucks prints.. The machines are super cool now, with so many options and DIY designs to choose from.. overly spoilt with choices.. oh and the background is shimmering too!! We got to choose 4 shots from the 8 shots we took. It was a struggle as I strongly feel that ALL are nice. Bleah~ :P Anyway, the final product is Pretty and our complexion look SO so so smooth and fair.. NO pimples!! It was fun and with pics like that, I feel its worth every penny. Heee.. Do hope to get some more shots taken again!!

- Dinner was @ Siam Kitchen. We were giving crackers as appetizer. Nice.. something to keep us busy while waiting. We ordered a plate of mango salad, pineapple rice and a bowl of tom yam chicken, mango frezzy, sweet & sour frezzy, and a red ruby coconut cum jackfruit desert. Overall it was So-so. Still prefer Bali Thai. The meal cost us 45 bucks. kinda ex. Do recommend you all to op. for their dinner buffet costing 19.90 bucks that consist of 20 dishes! (no kidding) & additional 1.50bucks for free flow of lemon tea.

2007-01-03T22:18:00.000+08:00

Days counting down to 2007

3 days back, 29th Fri

- Met up with my dear poly pals for dinner @ PS, crystal Jade

- Watched Death Note Marathon @ PS with Dear from 9.30pm till the wee hours 3am

- Head to Dargonfly @ St'James. Managed to catch a glimpse of Qin Hao among the many heads on the dance floor. Hao's hair colour actually looks kinda cool, being all gel up and in the dim lited environment.

2 days back, 30th Sat

- Back home @ 6plus am

- Collapse @ 8am

- Woke up 6 hours later @ 2pm

- Vivo city with Dear to window shop and had dinner @ Carls' Junior. My 1st to the fastfood outlet. Its was a refreshing experience, diff from the usual fastfood. The burger is Super Huge, no way would I call it junior size.

1 day to 2007, 31st Sun

- Had an Archery reunion dinner @ Marina Square, Changing Appetite. Its was 3 hours of waiting after dinner @ the open plaza, esplanade, for the new year fireworks. 'Tian bu zuo mei' , it rained. But due to the rain, people head for shelter, which in turn gave us opportunity to move forward, nearer to the river side for a better view. It was worth the wait. Fantastic firework display! Hooray to the New Year! It would be perfect if not for a inconsiderate uncle whom stand right smack infront on the seat, blocking one fifth of the view.

We had a photo taking session with the skyscrapers and the sea of globes behind us. It was like 1.30am? before we finally left esplanade. It was maddness after the firework show. People can still be seen EVERYWHERE! A pretty chaotic sight. I count myself lucky to not taking the MRT.. imagine trying to squeeze through all the people.. phew.. Dear parked his car @ Shaw Tower, so avoided the traffice jam. We had supper before heading home.

1st Day of 2007, 1st Jan Mon

- Overnight fishing @ Bedok Jetty. I made sushi for dear. Suppose to enjoy them when we reached. (I've prepared some snacks and picnic essentials to survive throught the night.) Turn out Dear havent eat his dinner, so I ended up feeding them all to dear while he drove. Heee..

We caught a fish!! Finally!! It wasnt big but it is a good first for starters. :)

Waiting for a fish was kinda tiring, so I laid on the mat to rest. The sky is sooo beautiful!! With the cool sea breeze, horizon just a head turn away, and company of my dear.. what better way to head start a new year!!!

2nd day of 2007, 2nd Jan Tue

- Packed and go off round 5am for Mac breakfast before heading back home.

- Collapse @ 7 am

- Woke up @ 2 pm? Getting all mixed up with time after so many days of late nights.. Suppose to meet Layhar and ppl for dinner. But decided to not go and be a 'Guai hai zi', stay home to have dinner with mummy and daddy, for I was out late for the past few days, and hardly get to see them. Need to show face too before daddy go off to KL to work the next day.

3rd Jan Wednesday

Finally started to pack my study room after so long.. but basically a lazy day, enjoying free time @ home. Made sushi again.. starting to feel sick of it. :p

Holiday is coming to an end soon. 4 more days before the start of a new semester.. Must make full use of it while it still last!!

2006-12-26T12:26:00.000+08:00

Xmas! Time to be Jolly . . . . . . .

Sat morning 11am to 12noon as usual my Kickboxing session. After which me and jie head back to clementi central, booked appointment for haircut(me) and perming(jie) later. I rushed home for a quick bath and packed my bag for stuff needed later for tonight's celebration.
Reached the saloon at 2.30pm. Jie was already there. Waited for some time before it was my turn. It was worth the wait thou. Initially was thinking of just trimming, but I ended up cutting more than wat's intended. Hee. Any way, Love my new hair cut. :) I look fresh and much cheerful than before.

Was 3.30pm went I left for my grandma's house. Stayed there for bout 2hours, had a changed of clothes, dolled up. and then it off again to Anthony's house for our Xmas party.
Reached Ant's house.. The door was locked.. The time was 6pm. party was suppose to start 5.30pm.. Called Laney.. They were @ NTUC.. oh man...

Decided to head home 1st. Then I remembered Jie. I called Jie lin to check if she's done with her perming. I was lucky as she just step out of the saloon. Well, it not all bad, just need a bit of getting use to. It goin to be a lot of work to maintain it thou. Good luck buddy.

Home @ 7pm. Bought some chocolate goodies from provision shop near my house. I thought I should give everyone some small presents. Cant bring my self to go empty handed.. Although I am contributing a bottle of Johnnie walker. I placed random NEW keychains and stuff into packs. Kinda like lucky draw presents. In a way hoping to add more fun and excitment into the given exchange. Heee..

Reached Ant's house round 8 plus. It seems the party had just started. Ppl @ party: Ash, Yoke.C, Qiu Hwa and bf, Tricia, Janet, Yiling, Laney, Nicolas(y am I not surprise) and a guy friend of Ant's. It was very much enjoyable. Had own baked apple crumble, some 'thing' by laney, pizza for dinner. Then phototaking session which last bout an hour!! (wahaaa!) That was Fun! And card games, trying to get ppl drank. Finally, present exchange. You cannot imagine the amount of presents we had! Its literally a xmas tree made formed by presents.

Our 'Xmas' Tree

Something interesting for my poly pals. New couple? hint*hint*Drink of the Day. Johnnie Walker Black label. courtesy of Xinying. HeeRound of poker games. Thank you guys!!

I left early @ 1am. Dear waiting to fetch me. We head to the Canary 1st. Walked around. Wanted to enter one of the clubs but it was abit late, and to pay the cover charge now seems not very worth it. Then we drove to St'James Powerstation. It was 2am. Still early. Headed to Cheers to grab some drinks at harbour front before goin to Dragonfly to Q for the free entry at 3am. Heee..
Music's ok. They had live band @ 4am? Cant recall. Anyway they sang Thai song to Hokkien to Pop SHE .. OMG.. am shocked. There's this weird lookin uncle dancing at my left, a group of trans ppl behind me and some wat seem like gay guys at my right.. haiz.. speechless.
Depart from Dargonfly @ 5.30pm. Back at my Home, bathed and finally nap at 8am Sunday. Totally exhausted. But surprisingly, I woke up at 2pm. only 6 hours of sleep.

Dear and me were out from my house at 4pm. Off to Cold Storage to get food to cook for xmas dinner. We got rib eye beef, soup, pasta, chips, sushi, strawberry, ice-cream and drinks. Yummy. Dear did all the cooking, I only cut. :P The beef was a bit over cooked, but overall the food was delicious. The only down side was the dish washing part, hee. lazy ma..

We watched TV. I was tired by 11.30pm. So I got into bed to had a rest.. Turn out that I Slept thou Xmas at dear's house.. poor dear slept on the floor with no bloster and blanket. I took everything. ;P Ah.. anyway.. Sad.. Woke up 12 hours later at 11am Monday!! I bathed washed up, then we were out again to China town for lunch. We past by kranji War Memorial and I decided to drop by to have a look. It sure is a very serene place. Quiet, breezy, very peaceful. Merry Xmas. may peace be with them for giving their life for all freeman. Salute.

Clubing @ Modestro-Eden Hotel-JB

Went for my last Kickboxing session in the morning and sign up for another 12 sessions..then headed to IMM with Jie for a short shopping and Mos burger lunch before heading home.

Dear came over my house from work.. went to his house for him to bath and clean up before heading off to JB. We drove straight to Eden hotel.. Had our dinner at a cafe called Modestro if I may spell correctly. RM 7 for a large serving of pizza slice. I had spicy tuna while Dear ordered bolones. beef pizza.. it tasted so nice, we ordered another Hawaiian. It was 8 plus then. Called up BD boy on the exact location we'll be meeting. Turn out that we are goin to Modestro! It tranforms to a club at night.. Apparently theres 2 zones- external cafe front during day, internal cubbing at night.

We entered at 10pm. House mix of top oldies at the beginning. Was ok, but not high yet. NO dance floor to dance too. Place is cramped with ppl that are already seemingly enjoying themself very much. We were the only crowd that's relatively inactive.. seating and wondering to ourself why everyone's so high already. Micheal the BD boy booked a table before hand. We had the sofa seat, so we ladies just seat around, not very into the music, chit chated. The guys ordered 2 bottle of hard liquor!.. faintz.. only 4 gals, 5-6 guys.. noting some need to drive.. We had 1 blue saphire the other I've forgotten wat it is. I ordered a Singapore Sling, tasted like cough syrup.. failure. Had liqour mix with choice of tonic water, orange juice, sprite and coke i think. Any case, not my cup of tea.. drank nicer.

My attire was super off. Had a cardigen over my top. Cant take it off either, top within is way too low to be wore alone.. Wrong choice of cloths.. In sneakers too .. I should have known better to take into consideration of location before deciding on what to wear.. Luckily its dark.. so since no one can see me well.. it's not that bad still.. way of consoling myself.. maybe I should consider cntact lens again.. Find it weird to have specs on when clubbing..

Midnite.. we began to get into the mood... songs getting high and more up-to-date.. more of BD boys friends came... Super crowded. 'Dance' within what ever small space we had. Cheeky friends of dear went around taking lamn photos.. guys kiss guy.. gal kiss gal.. bf kiss gf.. bitchy poses.. dance on the sofa.. blah.. blah.. I wasnt excused from those of course.. Hai.. kinda ma lu initially, but got into it soon.. was fun. can see everyone's truely enjoying. Mic and ppl were saying Xmas party at his house, attire for party is 'Uniform'. Sounds super exciting. Haa... Uniform of all sorts, not just sch uniform.. but I just I'll stick to the conventional.. Images appearing in mind.. What can I wear. Hee. Maybe my sis's JC uni, get my self a new sch skirt and tailor it to kawaii length (definitly cant fit into my sis's skirt..).. BUT.. the down side..The party's on 23rd.. clash with Laney's home coming.. Hai.. Wat to do.. wat to do..

Left round 1.30am. Was informed that police coming to road block and 2. so we fleed before then. Dont wan to get into shit, this is malaysia we are talking about.

Dear and I left JB straight after. Wanted to join the rest for supper, but cant find our way there and we were dead tired.. so home we go. Drop dead at dear's house after a massive cleansing bath.. the smoke in Malaysia seems more powerful..

___________________________________________

11Dec- 13Dec: Changi chalet with Sec buddies.. Ladies nite anyone? Hee..

Still had not manage to meet up with my Dear poly pals. Need to plan 1 right after I get back from chalet...

Yet to contact mentor.. I'm a lazy bump..

___________________________________________

Time to rid myself of ignorance and my Big ego.

2006-12-09T02:13:00.000+08:00

Fri- After lunch was off to school to collect my panels and models, returned home to unload, then its shopping with my sis for Dear's friends' BD present today.. It was tiring.. No idea what design suits.. no idea if the size fits.. Its all a gamble.. just hope the BD twins would wear the shirts I choose and Im happy enough. Search high and low from Cathay to every single store which sells male cloths in PS.. Decided on a Nike T and a Ripe Curl T at the end.. Too drain to search further.. It was 8.30pm by the time we finish shopping. Wanted to get something for Dear.. then again.. cant seem to find the right one.. wanted a ring.. but I donno wat size to buy.. so scraped that idea..Still hurt by what dear commented recently: 'why do you want a ring for?'... Duh!.. I almost feel like hanging myself that instant.. Din get to do much shopping for ourselves.. wan't enough time.

We rewarded ourself from a hard day's work @ Secret Recipe for dinner. Cant be bother about the main dishes. The high light was the Chocolate Banana Cake. It is super delicious! Yum Yum.

Reached home round 10pm... I started gift wrapping and only completed round 1 am.. wrapping, card making, and watching tv at the same time. Finally got to bath and here I am infront of the com at 3am writing all this down.. having my final kickboxing lesson in 8 hours time.. should be getting some rest soon..

9th Dec.. hoping for some surprises..which i doubt i would have.. as always. Maybe I should plan something? No.. cant seem to get myself in the mood to do so.. Later in the night, I'l be heading to JB with Dear to his friends' BD party.. its starting at 10pm.. what a time to start.. not looking forward to it..

2006-12-05T14:22:00.000+08:00

Its the holidays. Finally!

My last paper ended on 2nd Dec. It was another horrid paper. Depress just thinking about it. Well, its over, so no point getting all sad and moody because of it.

The dreadful paper ended at 3pm. After which Layhar and I walked all the way from the Multi purpose hall back to our studio(1 bus stop dist).. just to clear our pedestal..sigh.. Then its straight home to wash and doll up pretty for Yu Jing's Birthday Party. :) Met up with Layhar and reached 7plus.

Yong Quan DIY a BD card of YJ. Credits to you man. Its was ingenious. Haa.. Apparently, he took YJ's photo and photoshoped her features and did it as a cover for the card. Super Funny, yet still pretty. Heee..
I was expecting something wild and crazy, to my surprise.. it was pretty quiet and dull so to speak. Not much Hoo Haa goin on. We had our buffet dinner. I ate little, not much of an appetite.. then we sat near the pool, stoned.. laughed.. chat a little.. stone again.. then it was time to sing the BD song... phototaking.. and wait for the cake to be served. The cake was delicious. Heard it was from Four Leave, 'Ferero Rocea' cake... hm.. not sure about the spelling. Anyway it was worth waiting for. Hee..

Parted round 10pm? No idea.. wanted to meet Dear. But his at VIVO, and I'm at MacRitchie.. too lazy to go there.. Dear's not coming over to fetch me. His with his friends. With no where else to go, I head home.

Woke up super late on Sunday. Its was mid day. Met Dear to East Coast Park to cycle. It sure feels good. Im getting better at it too. Hee. I just need to polish my u-turning skill..Heee..
This are the fishes caught by an uncle @ Bedok Jetty. One day dear and I am gonna catch fish like this too!!

Then, its off to dear's house for 'Lord of the Rings'... and then 'Taxi'- a french film.. It was hilarious.. Dear sent me home at 11pm and I continued my TV as little sister watching Superman (Dad bought it home just this morning). I cant resist. Haaa...

Monday was a lazy day. Spend the entire day home. Tried cleaning my dad's fish tank, but i cant seem to get rid of the greeny stuff stuck to the surface of the glass. I gave up after 10mins. Surfed the net. I finally settled my CPF edcational scheme deferment application. was surpose to have done that 4 mths ago!! waHaa.. I surfed the net, read some books, magazines. Did everything but cleaning my study room. Before I know it, its dinner, and time for my LOTR part 2.

Today, nothing much really. Still as slack as ever and enjoying it. Have to start packing up my room soon. I can sense nagging coming. and Hooray!! am going to watch Happy Feet later with Dear. lalala. Could hardly wait.

This's my study corner right before exam. Its in Totally Messy state now. Anyway, thinking of redesigning my space, to a cleaner, more professional look to now.. need to remove the claster of stationaries and stuff off the table. Maybe will show u guys once I'm done with it.

My dark chocolate ration during exam.. and That's my personal sketch book. Was bored while mugging for exam. So did some cut and paste with materials on my table. Wala! and this is what I get. Some how kiddish n bright coloured collage. I like. Heee..
Just did this collage of ma. :) Looking good o. Heee. I gave the idea of making the post it holder. Sister did the actual production and designing of it.

2006-11-29T12:54:00.000+08:00

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..

2006-11-11T12:25:00.000+08:00

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.

Death is near

I am SUPER DOPER stress.. am Freaking out soon. My design submission is due this THurday, and I've have Loads to do before then. I dont think I'm gonna make it. I need miracles. time is running out, I'm spacing out, I'm getting out of my mind. ARgh!!!!!!!! Save me from me.

Did a Deathnote Quiz.. trying to temporary get my focus out from Work.
I wonder how true this is. Now... my future is bleak.. not much to look forward to.. definitely.

2006-10-31T22:54:00.000+08:00

Always know I have ultra tiny eyes and protuding ears.. Never paid much attention to them until recently.. I have always been the plain jane and still is. Totally happy with that for being just that girl. Still, it feels awful to be reminded of them, although unintentionally, of my flaws.. My ego is aching..

Mad rush

Time sure pass fast this days. I was rushing OT on Wednesday for Thursday's 9am submission. Slept at 4plus, took a Long nap, and ended up waking up in a shock less then an hour before deadline. Well, I made it. Phew* The feedback session from the critque panels are rather constructive, At least its SO so much better then our OWn tutor.. which BTW wasn't there at all. Shitty.. anyway, its about time i start the engine rolling., Time is running short and there's so much more Work to be done.

Went K Box in the evening with Layhar & Yong Quan. It was stressful, Haaa. cos Y.Q sure do noe how to sing. and he can hit higher notes then both of us. But it was fun. Sang till 3am before heading home. I was almost dead by then, haven been sleeping much.

I got my second shock on Friday morning.. Woke up at 10.07am. (I remembered clearly) Literally jump out of bed. I was late for my 10am tutorial. I was a mad rush, grab wat ever cloths i see, bathed, skiped breakfast, grab my bag, dump my little sling bag which i've took last night into my big bag (no time to repack) and was off to school by cab. Ta DAh* I reached by 10.30am!! Super fast! .. We had lab lesson in the afternoon. I was expecting hand on Work. But it was not to be. Basically we all took photos (need for report), stand around the machines where by the techicians will do all the Work, and waited for the test figures to be shown. We recorded the readings and the lab is over. Duh*.. and this lab attendance is 10%.. then we headed to seminar room for BU tutorial, where by all we did was to copy answers. Almost slept in the process.... keep in mind I haven been sleeping much..

Am suppose to go straight home.. But Its a Friday. Its not right to be home That early. SO went to Cineleisure with Layhar. PUrpose of going: to the vending machines dispensal to get some Stitch. Wahaaaaa. We spend quite a fair bit on that. But it was exciting to not noe wat you will be getting.. I reached home at 10pm. Ate my dinner, then in less then half hour, I was out with Dear. Haaa. Busy busy. Went to Jurong West, had a look at a fishing house. Not impressive. Still prefer the one at MArina south. We headed to the nearby bowling alley after his dinner at Mac. Saw a group of uncles bidding. Not sure how they based their bids on but the UNcles REALLY do noe How to BOwl damn Well. We stood there for an entire round. The minimum total score was 160+ and it goes up to 207 for 1 of the uncles. WAO!! amazing. If i may recall my max score was only 30+ i think.. Heee* I was home at 1am. Totally low in batt by then. Slept the very instance my head touches the pillow.

Today, Saturday, my 3rd Shock, Haa. but a mild 1. 11 am Kickboxing, I woke up at 9.50am. Had a quick breakfast, before heading out. Surprisingly reached 10mins before time. I'm getting better at kickboxing now. Sure do feel good sweating it all out. :) So here I am now, home. and blogging. Be meeting dear later to do School work together some where outside. And maybe I might get to do some shopping. Hee.* Am looking around for something to give my dear.. but still yet to noe wat to buy.. Hm.. ring? I shall see.

As a environmental core student this term, I think i need to get in touch with the nature. haa. Had a clear look at my little 'Garden' at home. I sure do had quite number of flora growing.

Tiny recap: Dinner with My gals last Friday. J.L not in pic

My brain is not functioning again.. being weeks since design started and I'm still hanging in mist of uncertainty.. Nothing productive have been produced.. its all duddles of lines.. Wong wasn't here for studio yesterday, heard his stuck in malaca.. Damn it.. 1 less consultation with him.. Q for consultation with my part time tutor... it was time to go for my frank Gehry talk by the time it reached me.. (Gehry talk was SO-so. Guess the best draw point was to be able to see the master in person. What I've learn from the master: Be true to urself.).. I manage to squeeze some comments from her in like 5mins.. though I wonder how much does it helps.. telling my sketches look great isnt gonna to aid in my design..
Am suppose to be in my SS lecture NOw. but since i'm late from doin my design, decided to skip it. BAd bad girl huh. my HR seminar starting at 1pm.. and after which is off to see my mentor. Nervous.. nothing much to show.. well.. Hopefully he can save me from the shitty design mess I'm in right now.

2006-10-15T01:37:00.000+08:00

As usual, I over slept. was intending to wake up earlier to do some designing before my kickboxing session. Laziness trimph again, woke up just in time to make it for the lesson. After an hour of kicks and punches, its straight to Bras Brasah National Lib for history research with gp members. (Yah, no bath)
Met Qin Hao to pass him a book, hopefully its of some use for his school assignment. Hao's getting thinner, which is scary. His slim enough before.. Must be all the overnight part time waiter work @ the club & school works. Hai.. and not forgetting those pimples thats invading his once polished face..
Anyway, went shopping @ Bugis with Har after our discussion. Saw Qiu Mei! She have not change a single bit, still as pretty. Hee.. Guess what, I saw Chyi Lin too! she's with her NTU archery pals (see pretty decent looking guys with her, might be potential bf to be, haaa) Had her hair rebonded. She looks great, seems like she's handling the break up quite well. Happy for her. la la la.. ... How coincidental can it be to bump into so many ppl I know in a day. :)
Reached home like approx. 11 hours later, 9pm. (off from home @ 10.30am) So tiring. All I wanted to do is bath and Sleep.. But I cant sleep just yet.. There's History readings to do.. I wonder if I'll even make it through 1 chapter before I faint.. Its almost 2am now.. did nothing since I reached home, basically I slacked till now. Guilty Guilty. Think I better get started. Ciao.. till next time.

Friday the 13th

Is it just me? Life seems so monotonous these days.. why do I feel such hollowness within. A happy family, a man that loves me so, trusty friends I can always count on, am a future architect to be.. I even took up kickboxing just to jazz up my life alittle.. Been ages since I pulled my bow.. maybe its time to get back to training.. bring back the good old days. Standing there with everyone yet alone in my own world, target in mind.. concentrate.. and release.. an immediate satisfaction when the bulls eye is hit. To feel proud of myself. Or maybe I'm just trying to show off to him, whom is always stand behind me. Come to think of it, maybe I don't miss archery, its the time spending together with him that I miss. Miss being his little precious. Do I miss the feeling of being loved? hardly remember how it feels to be delightfully surprised.. its being so long.. numb maybe..I don't know.. think its time to pamper myself with something, thats gonna make me feel better..

Some pictures depicting the happenings in my life the past weeks.

Sick and Sleepy

I have no idea how i got sick.. started to feel drowsy Yesterday afternoon, therefore went for a short nap.. the nap turned into a long night sleep till this Thurday morning.. I've got the fever.. damn sian.. must be all the late nights and junks I've been consuming... Anyway the fever subside and I went out for my History discussion @ National Lib.. Had no idea how I survive that, was so sleepy, and I kept yawning.. am so totally in no mood to do anything, all I can think of is to get home asap, jump into bed, tug under my blankie and Sleep! Have yet to study my test.. what ever, i shall rest 1st..

that aside, took this pic at my void deck: fat cat enjoying the moment. haa

Its Term Break. Finally

Tropical Architecture workshop
It was so much fun then I had expected it to be. Our group had this fantastic eco friendly idea to design a Decompose Center that serves as chair for use in Parks and gardens and partically any where with trees. The crit panel were especially nice and encouraging. They seem to be enjoying the presentations more than anyone else, I will be too if I were them too. Just think, you get to see all the wonderful ideas thought out by others, getting inspirations from them perheps.. There was a prata tea break in between too. The atmosphere is light and cheery for every one - GooD. That aside.. I am doubting the truth that the workshop is graded.. Its too cheery to be graded..

Saturday
morning Went for my 1st kickboxing lesson with JieLin. Its was totally cool. To feel my heart beating, sweat tickling down. Ah.. It feels good. Jie was telling me about this Women Day Out's 3 hour Aerobic Challenge. Seems fun and I'm especially interested in their goodie bag. heeee.. therefore I'm going.. who cares if I ache for a week after that. Its gonna be worth it. :P

Went Night fishing with Dear @ Bedok jetty. Cool breeze blew the entire night. I sat and see dear fixing up his equipments, while I read a newly bought book 'the Five ppl u meet in heaven' by Mitch Alborn. [Its a powerful book, delightful and thought-provoking] We din get to catch any fish. The night was peaceful, reading book under the dim yellow light, watching dear fish. I feel happiness.
We packed up roung 4 am before heading to Mac for a breakfast. Initially I thought its gonna be quiet. but its Not. I'm surprise to find so many people up exercising already. Maybe its just me. haaa, a pig that can never wake up That early. It only round 6am when we manage to get our rest. Tired, but I'll definitely go again.

Sunday
Dear slept at my house. I only woke up at 1 plus pm and that is because dear woke me up. heeee.. It was a lazy day. Read the papers, had really late breakfast (or is it lunch) and its off to dear's house. We bought food for home made pizza for dinner. Its simple but delicious, dear did every thing, all I did was to eat. yummy yummy.

Monday
Went Guan ying miao and a little shopping @ Bugis with my daddy and mummy. Got my self new colour full ankle socks and a pair of body nits' gym bottom wear --> proper attire for my kickboxing lessons. Dinner was at Crystal Jade Bugis. The food is delicious, In contrary.. the service sucks..
