the new era.
an exciting year awaits!

MIES MIES van der rohe

(one of his works: Martin Luther King Memorial Library)

the name keeps getting repeated over the course of the 4 days.

just in case you're wondering who that is, he's a famous german architect, and coincidentally my OG name for PreFAB 09 (archi camp)

having gone through PreFAB 09 left me with lots of thoughts.

be it motivation or doubts, I am thankfully i went ahead to go for the camp.

the people were open and true, and all my previous fears of meeting arrogant and airheaded people were unfounded :)

i feel constantly pressed to create, to design and innovate. something that i am not adapted to do, since my environment tend to be one in which i listen and work from instructions.

well, it's a good change definitely and it dawned upon me that i am fully immersed into the ARTs circle, whether i like it or not. (though i reckon that i am still far from having that artistic flair)

just few more days left before the party, so much still left undone.

if u guys and girls are still wondering what to get, you can always text me.

i will give u a honest and specific reply. hahaha

pardon me for being this shameless.

wooh. 3 more days till the end of work.

before i can take the time to start drawing, doodling, sketching. whatsoever.

finally caught transformer 2 after playing half a day of 'transformers' game.
how appropriate indeed.

help to enlighten me about the different characters.
for a moment, i've mixed up the autobots and the decepticons.

having mixed feelings about going for FOC tml.
yes. PREFAB 2009.

feeling a little apprehensive since the last school camp i've attended was probably like jc orientation, 4 years ago.
hahaha

and the OGL finally called..


ok prefab here i come! :)

back dated post.

made my first online purchase!

feel like a goon-doo now that i look back, waiting so anxiously for the package to arrive.

note: threadless can reward me with some online credit for promoting them.haha

going to self declare a day off very soon. i need that.

you can plan all you want.
if it is not meant to happen, it just won't come to pass.

the past couple of days passed by so quickly. and june is coming to an end.
the current season: contemplate about the past, present, and the things to come.

the friendships and relationships in my life seems to be taking on a change.
for many, they are condensing, becoming stronger and evidently proving to be good company.

while some might seem to falter away, even as time illuminates and unravels the true character.

and incompatibility as friends exist. (incompatibility is clearly not restricted to just couples)

well, it is not possible and definitely unwise to be buddies with everyone, and transform into just another social butterfly.

saying hi to one, and bye to another in the next second.

being true in your conversations and treatment of others, will inevitably allow others to open up their lives to you, on accord of your sincerity.

learning to hear and trust, not to depend on my own understanding
to see beyond the circumstances, to love and care.

took a pause, sort out the minute things in life.

a good break for a greater race ahead.

life can be so short, and it's so crucial to embrace every moment of it.

although there are still many tasks like e.g

visiting the library, taking out a nice book and DRAW!

the break is still considered worthwhile.


an update on the latest white gadgets cravings:

Macbook white and white HTC magic!


(disclaimer:it's just wishful thinking on my part)


a week to focus, and get back to the basics.
upcoming freshmen orientation camp, and school is gonna start!

thank you for a wonderful 6 months :)

title: tuesday blues

woke up with puffy eyes and a ultra strong urge to stay in bed.
but after psycho-ing myself how much a day absent from work would cost me.
i dragged myself out of the house.

haha.

was trying v hard to keep awake to iron my shirt while listening to my mom ranting about the family that lives a floor above my flat.
(with their overaged son who constantly jumps up and down the whole day till my living room lights vibrate and i feared for my family's lives-seriously!)
and that the family's mother even defended his son, saying he's just an active young boy.

amidst all of that hoo-hah in the morning
i was in my own world, wondering to myself.
how often we let the circumstances around us define how we feel about a certain friend or person.

that is the time we need to trust the person's heart.

oh well.a super-uber random post.
to keep myself alive today
haha

A bruised reed He will not break.
And smoking flax He will not quench,
Till he send forth justice to victory.

what matters the most?

what do you know and what do you not know?

is it just the stubborn me or am i suppose to react this way?

how much do u really understand?

who is your friend?

all that is said and done.

nothing else.

i am better off alone.

treasure the loved ones around you.
every single moment can be so precious and might pass us by if we do not cherish it.

tired.

work seems to be like the biggest time-occupying activity of the week.
(as opposed to sleep)

needing a good rest and some entertainment!

.....

Worship:

body, mind and spirit all engaged in one.

the emotions totally involved.

wow.

blame it on the cheesecake from rive gauche..(is it spelt this way?)
though it was so yummy and really cheesy.
i am left with a stomachache today.
:(

shall treasure the time off to catch up on my sleep, shows, and bible reading.

oh no still isn't sure where exactly my cell group gonna cycle to for tomorrow's outing.

destination: unknown?

haha.
it is really about whether you want to snap out of the "we're not so close" mindset, to spend more time with the people that truly matters to you.

alright.

something that i was pondering over the weekend..



what do we do when we're faced with a certain sense of uncertainty about the future and pressured to give in and give up?



do we just call it quits and throw in the towel?

or do we fight to hang on, while we attempt to search for the real purpose once again?.



perhaps many would just sink into their circumstances, and let emotions take over.

i am definitely not excluded.

i've been in the thinking mood lately.


alright, anyway the weekend went by pretty slowly.

and

i finally went running...on the threadmill.

time to build up my stamina!

the happiest moment of the weekend.
my mom picking out that top as her gift on mothers' day.
thank you for loving me though i have always been attempting to do the things that make u upset (constantly).
for teaching me the rights and wrongs in life.
and the principle that whatever effort i put in, it will determine the outcome of my life.
thank God for putting you in my life, to be who you are to me!


not forgetting to wish Joseph a happy 21st birthday as well!!

I am still waiting for mine to arrive.haha


in this moment of transition, from work to eventually school.
uncertainties abound,
but I am constantly encouraged by Him reminding me that He's watching over.

His promise of unconditional love just spurs me on :)

received my photo card driving license today.
no idea why but the euphoria started to arise within.
and i started to admire the card for a few minutes.

know that sounds pretty dumb.. but it is definitely hard work to earn it
so ya all the best for all those who're taking their practical test soon!

i sincerely hope the dream of being able to just drive around freely and be able to drive out for suppers would come to pass quickly!
(dread paying for long night rider journeys and exorbitant midnite cab fares home.)

felt that a new phrase of life has begun.

and it dawns upon me that the start of school is really drawing near. and it is certainly time for me to start cracking.
to visit the library to borrow more materials. to stop procrastinating and set time aside to do the drawings...blah blah blah.

i need to have a more creative mind!



cool geometry.

Felt His presence so strongly.

Thank you for your love.

" Freely you gave it all for us, surrendered your life upon the cross.
Great is your love, poured out for all...."

and the song goes on and on.

I am struggling to make up that 1000 words for the scholarship application essay.
sincerely and really do not have so much to say about my personal interest in design.
The exhausted body is not making things better.

ahh!

"My health may fail, and my spirit may grow weak,
but God remains the strength of my heart;
he is mine forever"

that i must keep in mind...

goodbye bukit batok and ubi!
i had spent more than enough hours of my life there.
literally sweat it out for the test today, the sun was shining so brightly.
i was perspiring madly.
and it's FINALLY time to ditch that 'L' and put on that big bright orange triangle plates.
Praise God for creating a miracle, out of something that seems humanly impossible!
Your thoughts are surely higher than mine!
:)

my dream car! (now i can have the right to think about this)


woooh. :)
