hello there, this exists to help my failing memory remember things I would want to remember a few years down the road.

i am home early on saturday!
forwent FOP and went to dinner with the other people who didnt go to fop too.. puay wanted to buy bird's nest for her grandma and it was absolutely hilarious, because the whole thing is so cheem with the many different types... i have never been to FOP or any mega worship concert... i think i will go... someday, when i dont have to queue and when there is less work to do...? we were engaging in (literal) people pulling before they finally set off.

bus-ed a long way down to nexus last night to meet philo, but it was good to have yt for company on dear 23, esp when there was a jam and she always waits for 65 to come at the next busstop with me (((: the meetup with philo was fruitful, got me thinking and reminded of many basics that have slipped my mind so carelessly. sometimes we forget the simplest things...

introducing the three injured fingers: lays', zhiying's, yt's.

lol, everyone seems to have random cuts everywhere due to the visual presentation module since we cut everything and carry them everywhere :/
extract from yt's blog on 31st July :
Today is a happy day man.
Mainly because Lays has started to return to her start-lao-ya-pok-car laughter state..
and also because I left all my heavy boards and hammer-looking-ruler-that-has-scratched-m
haha, so i guess i have been rather down in school... i never knew that people would notice. but since school started, i would normally get high and start being a little crazy at 3pm, which is when lesson ends but i haven't been working normally this block, due to the overwhelming pressure.

the frustrating thing is that the pressure does not come from the workload, because i always think workload is pretty much manageable, it all boils down to willingness and prioritising. this block, the 3D fun module, is really a test. i feel stretched in every way, torn between doing what i like and believe in and having to please a lecturer to get good grades. i guess this is the first taste of it, like how everyone says the difference between an artist and a designer is that an artist does whatever he likes and gets paid when someone likes it too, but a designer is paid to design something that someone likes.

read in a past issue of IDN, when they interviewed a Munich design firm called fpm:
...what we learnt from that was that if you listen really closely to your client and try to develop your ideas out of the inner self of an artist, brand or even the project idea, it is not necessarily necessary to make compromises.

if only we dont need to make so many compromises too...
i guess that is why designers need to do some random stuff they like once in a while and not all work, because they will go crazy...

celebrated robin's birthday on friday!
and i have no pictures of it...
it is our fourth class birthday celebration already. (;
though it is typical and like the other three, i am sure dear robin liked it very much, lol. the amusing thing is all the classmates kept to the rules and wrote a message for him on the 10 by 10 mounting board/ compressed foam board/ paper and amaris put them tgt using a wire. talk about obsession about modules...lol. i was being a freak that day. saw a flyer on zhiying's table with uneven edges and i took a scissors to trim the edges SUBCONSCIOUSLY. oh my goodness...
presentation on friday was nerve-wrecking, i never felt so nervous before a presentation before in my life... the stage was like a bbq pit for grilling, they just grill you there lor. the laptop shut down immediately after i quit my ppt, so i didnt turn into bbq chips...

zhiying to me a minute before my presentation, so cute!

to avoid negative thoughts, learn t be grateful, shall apply!
