Hi this has been an interesting week for me (yeah it's the kindest adjective i can find for it)
okok admittedly for all the awful stuff there were indeed wonderful stuff and thank God for thowse =)
I'll always rem somethg Grace said - in aki u learn that there are 24hrs in a day and EVERY one of them can be used. Indeed. That was the essence of my week (once again the kindest description can find for it).
Monday (Project runway day)
9am - site visit for 2326 at a 6th ave house. which was a great way to start the week though.
real nice house and we learn stuff, took nice pics. i had my doubts when we sent to the
architect's to see the plans & stuff but i must say that it was a pretty successful design =)
11am - back to sch for the start of the 1-day sketch! hehe this was supposed to be a fun break
frm design. Thank God for it or i wd have suffered the nite b4 =) cos of the sketch we
didnt have to show anythg for design. we were to design a lampshade based
on music in 6.5 hrs ... yeah i must say that it was a great learning process. materials
allowed were frosted PVC sht, butter paper and fishing line. it was a good experimentation
thingy & yeah in the midst of all the work, it was a nice break & yeah that's one good thing
abt aki... it allows u to do a variety of creative stuff =)
530pm - end of sketch. phototaking. oohing & aahing at others' lamps while cringing at yr own
haha ok i was ok with mine a bit too safe though i felt. then voting for yr favs. then
dinner and back to the urban proj with lw till last bus
3am - sleep
Tues

10am-urban with lw again (with hopes to finish by 11 which nv materialised)

4pm-2326 presentation. where the seminar room had a faulty comp, markers without ink and
bad extension cables for the lappie. and my increase in sch fees is to pay for
improvements. where? haha zx said i was angsty. hmm actually i was jus seeing the reality

Today
woke up at a normal time, slacked a bit then it was off for a noon tutorial. then it was the best part=) today's the last day of the basheer sale & i had my eye on the $50 renzo piano book. but sadly some yr 3 guy bought it moments b4 i came. but God had something better for me C= richard meier...for only a gasp-inducing $30! praise the Lord! hehe was so happy. with photos, proper tech drawings and a bonus of meier's sketches too =) i reserved it went across to arts to get $ frm the atm but it was outta cash argh. they shd have more atms ard sch. so i had to take the shuttle bus 1 stop down to YIH to get $ but it was a blessing in disguise! cos i got to buy OLD Chang Kee hehe jus opened =) so it was a double blessing - great book + great lunch =) thank You God.
"... My heart leaps for joy and I will give thanks to my God in song." Psalm 28:7
Indeed =)
so yeah as u can see it has been a real crazy week where every hr was spent doing something. but well i thank God for the good parts and for seeing me thru the bad ones too =)
oh yeah... ooh i'm realling into figure skating now. it all started with this news article i read online abt the jap girl who won the singles Olympics gold in Torino last week. "[Arakawa] didn’t show much emotion on her face, but she spoke it with every other part of her body, from her toes to the tips of her fingers." It intrigued me. i think it's like in aki or any arts for that matter where u aim to express something intangible in a tangible manner. but sadly i missed the replay of that beautiful free skate of hers cos we were at ann siang hill(another beautiful place i'll talk abt in my upcoming column =) for ernest's bday & later urban with lw. so i watched the gala exhibition on sund and it was like wow so beautiful why didnt i discover this long ago? aww yeah ok i wont go on gushing abt it but well u get the idea =) erm if anyone happens to have her free skate program can lend it to me? thanks =)
so it's been an interesting week indeed learnt lotsa stuff and did lotsa work haha =) Told ya, life's never boring in aki =) oh btw, the long standing issue of the weird 4-day mid-sem break has finally been resolved. nus has finally given as a full week break frm next sem onwards praise the Lord =) wow i see that all the hoo-ha frm the fee hike has come to smthg fruitful indeed haha need to appease us la. but not without telling us the efforts expended in making that happen. i seriously think the way the admin does stuff is beating round the bush. i mean how can giving us 1 extra day affect so many things that it took 3 sems to rectify it? but thank God it was rectified =) haha u know what after days of lack of sleep in aki pple start to get bitchy & say things like "dun worry i'll wait for you although i'm hungry" that's on the mild end =) but the sarcasm can be real funny some times. but well at least we understd each other & not take it seriously so it's ok in the end =)
so pls appreciate architects. for u to stay in that nice house of yours, some poor person had to draw these copious amts of stuff that better work since it's for real, stared to the comp for hrs and not slept much. so yeah i think architects are underappreciated. it's not some ultra glam funky design creative job k... although true to some extent haha ok it's real fun but u gotta work it too.
ok better go sleep now while i can enjoy =) good nite & God bless =)
