Submission's a few days away... These are stressful times. The last submission, no time to lose. Still, there is only so many hours you can stare at Sketch Up continuously... The inbetween times, well, I'll be having uneasy naps, or try to eat a meal without appetite, wake up with a vomiting sensation in the morning...? And watch TV!
Just a couple of days ago I was watching AI's top 10 perform... Only caught the last part but boy was I glad I did. The front would be a waste of time. I'm just so glad I saw David Cook's performance which was awesome. I agree with what Randy Jackson said, that DC can win the competition! K lah, just based on this one performance... this mind blowing 2 minutes.
It's a rendition of Chris Cornell's version, lyrics read here.
So like my latest MSN nick describes, this week was hell week, with a triple hurdle. The first was the AR5422 test on Tuesday, the second was the AR5422 group written assignment and presentation today, and the third... well, it's so obvious I don't have to speak IT.
Anyway, so it was quite enjoyable to put IT aside and just, you know, concentrate on another module for two days. Since I didn't manage to catch much sleep last night, I hit the sacks right after our 'celebratory' lunch after the presentation. During lunch however, we talked about alot of things. The unimportant stuff interested me alot as usual.
Since yesterday YQ has been mentioning (amongst other things like calling me "Piggy 光". Well... long story. Wait actually it's short. He just woke up one day, thought of the phrase 扮猪吃老虎, and voila~ I am labeled "Piggy 光"! No offence taken lah, all in good fun...). Anyway he was talking about how if he were to start drawing a comic / anime, what are the cultural anchors that he can base himself on in Singapore? Kiasu-ism? Anti-heroism? The Heartland?
Well, all these aren't really that important. Anyway I took my nap just a couple of hours ago and woke up, and began wondering what we can do in life. I mean, it doesn't necessarily be architecture. There are so many other professions, some that might really interest you! So what are the other things that we can consider doing in life? Well, we can make a Shuriken!
All was fun making an origami Shuriken out of paper... Don't ask me why this sudden randomness in choice of activity, when IT is this twisted shadow lurking behind my back. But as I was folding my Shuriken out of 2 A4 sheets taken from out of the waste paper basket, I had some thoughts...
1. You can be the one folding the Shuriken.
2. You can be the one who cadded the Shuriken on this instruction sheet circulated for free on the Internet.
3. You can be the one who 1st thought of how to fold a Shuriken out of paper for the enjoyment of other people!
Gonna have to drop by my site again later to take more photos... Unlike most of my peers, I don't have a pre-cadded site that I can simply import. Sigh... gotta waste a day or two on it. Then again, there's something about Bugis that I like... So just go, maybe pick up a toy or two!
Our last examination paper is up next week. Alot of people msg me for notes. Being the kiasu geek that I am (girls - sugar & spice & everything nice; boys - snips & snails, puppy-dogs' tails; geeks - lectures & notes & collect toys for goodness sakes), I do take down alot of what the lecturer says during lecture lah. Some even say that reading my notes are like being in the lecture itself. But... some thoughts.
The best thing is... everyone goes lecture. Got problem can ask each other. Don't need to friggin' photocopy someone else's notes! Waste each other's time!
I love to help a friend in need. Really, I do. I remember last semester's paper, the answers to one of the questions asked was told during lecture (of course the lecturer didn't tell us that he was discussing an exam question lah...) and I jotted it down! During the paper itself I was very glad I did because then my few buddies will be able to answer them too. Serious! There is some satisfaction in knowing that you helped someone, minute as the matter is.
But this time... I hesitate in sharing lecture notes, because law seems like a very foreign topic to me, interesting as it is. There are more than one occasions when I didn't catch what the lecturer was saying cuz there's just too much to jot down! So there are alot of nonsense written down this time. Want to ask someone during lecture... Look left, look right... -.-" Only see CW (and thank goodness he is there)!
So when I needed your help, like the aussie chick says, where the bloody hell are you?
And if you yourself already attended the lecture and friggin' take down so much notes on your own, can you friggin' don't be such a kiasu person and still ask for notes to zap?????? If anything, PLS SAVE THE TREES!
Last semester is one special sem. It's like... redemption (and even TKS said so before dissertation)? Your last chance to do all the things you want to do. I missed studying together w/ friends, and discussing design till late, working in studio till late, looking forward to supper. It's not about grades. Okay easy for a double A to say this bullshit ya? But seriously, mugger subjects I can. Design is water in the drain.
This, however, is one lonely semester. It is confirm the classic lonesome silhouette casting a long shadow against the evening sun setting rapidly in the horizon, wind blowing, leaves dropping.
At the same time, part of me just want to get it over and done with... lol.
But what lies ahead siah... Friends... or acquaintances?
Well... After interim had my virgin K-box experience... Sang quite a number of songs, also got songs 1st time heard. This one left a lasting impression, cuz the MTV very seh -.-" Haha...
Architecture students... all confirm are very 倔强. Check out the lyrics:
下一站是不是天堂?
就算失望不能绝望!!!
Alas... Life goes on. As Yotsuba says, "Enjoy Everything~!"
