building blocks of architecture

Saturday, May 06, 2006

Hi! this entry is kinda overdue. My exams ended last sat praise the Lord! Which means that the loong summer hols has begun. that's the extreme makeover for you... from the heights of utter busyness to the slums of slacking haha... but i aint complaining. not now at least =)

this also marks the end of the widely-perceived as most demanding sem in aki sch cos there are 5 core aki mods with design counting for 12MCs (or triple that of a normal mod) yes unusual things like that only occur in aki. a place where u call yr tutors by their first name (cos they told u too), where yr tutors appear in jeans (stylish ones of cos) where one of the entries in the handbook is "do not drive on the day of submission if u r too tired" and where projects are treated more imptantly than exams... haha like i said before, life in aki is never boring.

last sun was amanda's birthday party heh was real fun... actually it was the Taboo game we played that was real fun ooh plus the good food thank you Amanda! =) Taboo was so funny esp cos we were all aki pple playing and we describe some words in aki terminology. Eg. the word to be described was "deluge" which essentially refers to a flood, the flood related to Noah's ark is also commonly known as the deluge. so to avoid saying all the taboo words on the card, it was a brilliant thing to use aki terminology... yj said "one type of automatic sprinkler system" we all roared with laughter haha only happens when u play with aki pple and err prob only we get the joke haha. oh we also played with the specy (bespectacled) pple against the non-specys. And guess who won? of cos the specys haha. anyw it was real fun. hope we can do it again =)

then it was this week. time to shop! hehe time to slack. time to catch up on all the lost sleep. and time to find a job/internship. Well i hope i can get one =) praying abt it so yeah. thank God for the usp opportunity haha so amazing jus when i told God sure dun have since they havent ever have anything for aki pple. but then surprise surprise He provides one and yes i'm humbled. =) but joyful and hopeful. Praise Him =)

so while we're all finding and waiting for those jobs... it's time to do all the stuff u never got to do during termtime. like sleep, like slack, like shop =) hehe oh and tv too. i like amazing race u jus get to see so many places and things yup =) and the ch8 9pm drama women of times... haha only interested mostly in the Felicia Chin-Julian Hee part... well she's one of my faves... gorgeous eyes and nice personality. =) oh and reading something other than aki stuff ha.

It was a crazy sem yeah but i sure learnt the most this time... like really how to build a building. haha i rem saying that we're learning stuff in uni that the air-con man learns on the job. but yj said that air-con man only knows air-con, but we also know elec, firesafety, water, lifts, sewage blah blah blah... of cos not in deep detail but enough so u know if the contractor is doing the rite thing or not haha and of cos whether it works with yr design or not. Oh yeah i rem something jo said before too. it's like u work real hard for 4 mths each time and then u get a nice long 3 mth summer hols with no homework unlike the days of yore haha so yeah its not bad actually. much better than the poor med pple. so be thankful k. plus its far more interesting than medicine haha okok i'm being biased here. sorry no offence to the docs =)

Anyw i never regretted taking this route in life yups and thank you God for bringing me here and bringin me thru this =) yups there's so many creative possibilities and exciting opportunities out there and aki sch does open yr world to other arenas of art as well which is great. Sure it's hard work but then again few things come by easy. Yup so vote for architecture and u'll learn how to design your own lift even =)

haha ok jus joking but there's truth in that. as in they do teach u design considerations for installing a lift. the question came out for the BU exam=) heh ok i gtg now... take care all u pple and have a great hols. God bless!
