I realised that i have high expectations for many random things in life but never for my academics.

This year, i'm gg to change.

You keep wanting to know how things will play out, keep asking to see the future. God doesn't give anyone the power to know the future, because life becomes maddeningly boring when you know everything upfront. So, instead of struggling, enjoy the uncertainty - to be alive means to not know.

HOT i must say.

sj and shinee

sexyhot.

christmas is coming.
Another new year.
Time for new year resolutions.
Next time.

recently so many of my mum's friends have said this whenever they see me with my mum

It needs some caning ( not literally) or discipline.
PIMPLES please SHOOOOO away. OMG.
i hate yall. go farfarfarfar away and disappear.

Did you know. An average American model is 5 ft 9 and above. That equates to about 1.79m . THAT'S FREAKING TALL man!

ANTM season 13
new requirement: All models to be 5ft7 and below. 5 ft7 is about 1.74.
That in Asian countries and here spore is considered to be extremely tall for a girl already.
And these models in season 13 range from about shortest 5ft 3 to 5ft7
they are called petite models in the modelling industry there.
5ft3= 1.62m??still considered an average height here.

See the huge difference in heights between western and asian countries!
PETITE WE ARE!

this boy is freaking cute. awwww..esp all his scratching nose parts. hahhaa.

I think many people think it's crazy to sign up for a marathon,pay a crazy price which u can spend on other more useful things and subject oneself to 42.195km of torture.which is a crazy run of 105.4 rounds around the track. well, i did it, along side with 17000 other rounders out there who were probably as crazy as me.


I had always wanted to accomplish a full marathon ever since i started having the thoughts of running a marathon. maybe initially because i thought that the sports singlet was rather cool. and then it became an urge to challenge myself and also for the awesome finisher's tee. i wouldnt say i love running as much as i used to due to pure laziness. but I had just wanted the feeling of satisfaction from achieving something that was humanely tough which was tougher than i expected.

the first 20 was all gd. plus the fact that i walked almost half of the forst 20k. but to think of it. it's either u conserve ur energy for the last 20+ k or wear urself out for the first k. it doesnt really matter. cos ultimately u cannot finish the full marathon w/o some walking unless u are fullt prepared and trained or u are one of those extremely pro and competitive runners out there. my aim was just to complete the race in a comfortable time and i did it in 7 hours 4 mins. which was acceptable and close to my expectations considering the only running i did in the past 5 months was a 2.4k jog ard the track. lazy ass.

The race was good. good weather execpt for the scorching sun at 11plus that totally burnt my shoulders which is in pain now. :\ but otherwise i just thought that more deep heat could be provided. it was in scarcity( hahaha. econns.) almost everyone was in need of it but the first aid stations ran out of them very quickly and imgaine those runners at the back with muscles pain adn still have 10+ k before the finish line. just thought it was sth important that they should take note of. supporters were rather hyped up but i just hoped that dont say things like": run, dont walk." but instead" keep going"or jusy simply jiayou and other more encouraging lines. one of the supporters along the course was even more ridiculous to say:" speed up!" rolllllls eyes.

One of the runners wrote something on his bib that was attached to the back of his top that said, " Architecture makes the world HAPPY"... i was happy to see that too. his HAPPy was really in caps. see think feel passion??
and there was one that said:" I came for the finisher's tee. what about you?"
..hahahaha. samasama.
another one i remembered was" my grandma made me run this" coool grandma.

AND the L plate guy.

it was his first marathon. and he completed in the end.rmbed seeing him at padang after the race.

to think abt it. i'm rather pleased with my achievements. 10k, 21k and full marathon completed before 20. should i run again next year...? maybe yes maybe not.

Accomplishment of 2009:

42.185 k is no joke. huge jump from 21. it was basically walking at least half of the distance. though i tried my best to briskwalk.

my legs are reallly lacticified. omgggg.

but oh wells, i gt my shirt!=D

what's up next?!

wth. i just realised i gained almost 5 kg since school started.


nobody shall tempt me with gd food for december ok.

and i shall start exercising.


5kggggggg!=((((((

Since I have so much time in the world now and almostt nothing on my hands, i’m gg to put the photos on my com into gd use. And probably bring u through the life of an archi sem1 student. Which practically ruined a hell of out me. but strangely, I dunno what other course will make me love doing so much. Even for the amount of macs consumed( u all wouldn’t want to know how much sundaes, fries, MACS BIG BREAKFAST and SAUSAGE MCMUFFINS I ate) no wonder my arms are giganormous now. I swear they increased almost twice the size. Okk. And Let me continue.and how badly my face is screwed by pimple breakouts. How badly my arteries are choked by trans fats (un)saturated fats. How much spare tyre I collected. How crazy I have become with just 1 sem of hanging around with very much insane and astonishingly high ppl. The unclean unhealthy dirty air and environment which irritatingly has no aircon on weekends and at night. And it’s really disgusting to work in there when there’s no aircon! The zooomg amount of money I spent. Like zomgggggg. Brokebrokebroke.

I’m surviving. I hope I will!

Ok. so this was how sem 1 started. the diy pinhole camera that had all of us rushing to all the kodak, fujifilm shops just to print our negatives. which failed terribly. horrifying start to year1 mans. but anyways, we were given afew themes to choose on and to take a photo of it to represent the theme. ur photo had to tell a story. my theme was " Paper" nd this was my second photo taken. a rather literal representation to the word. bcos I seriously was sooooo stuck then to think of any more brillant ideas. but i kinda like this photos. the mixture of colours came out quite beautifully.

Then we had to do a transformation using a photocopying machine.and ahhhemmmm* ps. but for that crit i think it was this transformation that saved me. hahhaaa. that crit to think abt it was the most horrible crit ever when my mind went blank in front of the tutors.

Then we had to do some model to explore spaces. using clay. mine turned out realllllllly terrible. it was so pottery looking. and nonetheless like some urinal or toiletbowl lookalike. it was just ugly.

And because it was so cmi. a redo was needed. which is common n nosurprise in aki. The 2nd clay model turned out better. Then, after clay. it was acrylic. acrylic wasnt fun at all. esp the gluing part. superglue ate my skin of mt fingers liek nobody's business. and I was super slack with acrylic cos mine just kept failing accompainied with zero ideas. only during the redoing week then did my ideas came. and finally sth decent that came up. and i kinda like it. hahahaa.the wonders of the machine cutter at the workshop.

After acrylic was cardboard week. which the photo cannot be uploaded due to whatever problem blogger has with it. then followed by the use of charcoal to represent shadows through ur cardboard model. i like the contrast that the charcoal gives.

Design sem2 first assignment. my dogkennel look alike paper/cardboard model. giganormously huge. and rather embarrassing.sad to say.

Next was weeks of hell with satay stucks and strings and the brick. our stick structure had to support a brick. and satay sticks and arches were exceeeedingly irritating cos they keep getting on my nerves by breaking. imagine doing one arch and then when u are on ur 2nd one, ur first arch breaks. and this continues several times. with a looming deadline.

and so i went to crit with an ultra CUI model cos my strings were like all over the place in 3 different colours. which needed a redo for portfolio. and this redid model looked a thousand times better.

Besides our deisgn module,there was our spatial and visual module which i enjoyed the most i think although it was hard to juggle between it and deisgn initially. Our first assignment was the legendary lines.lolll.

and then some clothees peg assignment at axonometrics which was no joke. it took away our slp.what to say.


and i almost forgot abt this assignment. I kind of like how this turned out. except that my pencil looked strange and fake.hhahaha.this was no joke as welll.

But the worse of all was thissss! maria botta house!one section of the house took me about 2-3 hours. and 3 days for the whole thing. crazinesssss.but after the whole thing. u will just have this sense of ultra satisfaction cos u completed it. just like that.



Then we had to practise sketching. which i enjoyed very much. esp with 6B pencil which was nice to use.

and then photography which was ultra funness. cos it was one of the easiest and slacker assignments. and hhahaa! u dunno how much i love my ant photo. the ant is cute.i think.


30 5 min sketched. which i took alot more than the 5 min for each sketch hahha. and this one is the first and probably the nicest out of the 30.



and this clothes hanger is probably one of the most irritating thing that bugged me throughout the whole sem. PF shit project. like reallly #%$#!! so glad i'm done with it. shoooos away and bye blothes hanger. i'm totally not interested how much tension and compression u are experiencing and neither do i want to find out the interal members of the trusses that u represent. and i'm so glad u are out of my life.

this is the story of my aki sem1.

THE END and ciao!

little things that make me happy. =)
