it's the start of the third week of this new lease of life.

it has definitely opened my eyes to the world of art. and how design is really so much more abstract and intriguing, as i suppose it to be.

it has surely not been smooth sailing, but i am really giving it my best shot.
though at times, it might seem as though not all will stand on your side to encourage u on.
i am thankful for the true friends.

in our education system, we're often so trained to just analyse ideas and things on the surface and that's it.
but now i am introduced to the idea to question and challenge the facts, to set new boundaries and to expound on your own concept.
it is impressive and interesting to learn without being spoon-fed with the facts and formulas.
to discover everything for yourself.

i need to renew my mindset, and learn to see beyond the literal.
to truly fit into the shoes of a designer.

i feel like some fine art student for a moment.

sidetrack: i m really in awe of the ADM building in NTU, though i've worked there for the good half of the year. i've never entered it's premises, and all i can say sde definitely need a revamp. our shabby, non conducive environment.


i am reminded of my own limits and to trust in his infinite wisdom.

there are sometimes that i would wish to find out, but yet i am afraid to uncover the truth.
uncertainty might seem like the next best option.

till i gain that courage. and that affirmation within.

here i am at 3.52am in the morning.

at the second quadrant of my mega a1 size paper drawing.

and hooray, i am drawing straight lines.(not trying to be sarcastic here)

oh well, my mind's 80% percent shut down and i cant even manage to draw for more than 30minutes.

i wanna head straight to bed, but somehow i know that will be my greatest regret when i wake up tml morning.(oops i meant this morning)

alright, i know i shouldnt be online.

perhaps if i can be drawing something like this in a year's time?
haha

the official start of school in just less than 11 hours!

it has really been a long journey, all the way from the decision making on which course to select.
till spending free time in the army bunk pondering about it, using tomorrow as a motivation to push on through the toughest and darkest day in ns.

nonetheless, i am still excited. and yet a little anxious at the same time.

perhaps knowing that u're stepping into a brand new environment, a place where it doesnt matter how much you've studied. because effort doesnt necessary equate to grades in architecture.

late nights coupled with tight deadlines.

perhaps u might feel i am being too paranoid, but i dun reckon so.
maybe it's just my way of mental preparation.

short-term goal 1= to improve greatly in my drawing skills, to make a cube look like a cube.

short-term goal 2= to be super duper creative. constantly having interesting ideas.

alright. a very good first day awaits everyone in school!

it has been almost two weeks since i've last set foot upon my blog.
so now it's time to revive it.

i had a splendid time away in KL and of course lots of pictures to testify.
taking some time off from singapore can really help to relax your mind and slow down the fast pace of life.

that seriously helped me to sort out my thoughts better.
after going for all of the orientation games and making more friends (or u can deemed that as socializing)

it's just quite unfortunate that i suddenly came down with fever and flu.
and that just kept me at home for the past two days.
gonna pray that it will go away asap!

alright i'm turning in.
