in love... in vain

time is money...

i start work on the 5th. pretty exciting indeed. curious to see how busy would i really be. is the owrking life so dreadful as everyone describes it to be.
been bumming around the past few days. i think i've been eating one too many mandarin oranges. i should go out and exercise these couple of days. plus i have not started on my packing. getting really comfortable here at home. which is a sign indeed. heck i'm even getting comfortable of this given freedom from work and studying.

met up with old school mates. time passes so fast. everyone has changed mostly in a subtle manner. but glad everyone does make an effort to see each other. all we have is each other that is real, new friendships are becoming more superficial. classmates become friends due to forced circumstances, friends nowadays become friends for a reason/ purpose. but having said that, i think meeting up once in awhile should be enough. we probably would have nothing to talk about if we see each other too often.

can't believe i'll be starting work soon. this time i'll be starting my new life and career alone. atleast when i was in KL there was alvin and Co. then i had my coursemates to accompany me in Melbourne.

hope i'll be able to find myself a nice place to stay. cheap and cosy.

i think i should de-tox myself before i head off. i'll do it when mom gets back from KL.

'tis the season to be jolly... fa la la la la.

5 years of my academic life is seriously over. i'm currently in a twilight zone. post graduation isn't really exciting as i imagine it would be. another phase of my life has just ended, and now its time to just move along. can't hold up on the queue. there are a few things i've told my self to do just before the finals. a number of them are actually reading up the architectural books (non-graphical ones) i've purchased months ago. other agendas would be ofcourse job searching. in the meantime... me chill in KK till icy cold.

i've been thinking about relationships between engineers and architects. its a bitter rivalry. i always thought that when i become an architect, i will try my best to respect them engineers in there area of expertise. sadly to say i cant say the same for them. so far their obviously out to back stab us and trying to prove to us that we're dispensable. we're just a bunch of stupid profesionals who didn't do/ sucked in science and math. this has been a good warning for me before i start work, to learn not to give face to these engineers. its either because they hold some sort of a grudge on us or they just think they are far way too superior. whatever the reason is, all i need to know is to stay as far away from them and to treat them like shit whenever i've got the chance to do so. they are indeed a real "busy" bunch. never sleep and always on the move.

im going down town today... boxing day sales?!?!
i seriously need to update more...

do you prefer digging your... ear or nose?

been busy touching up and re-organising my portfolio. yup, this is it. here i come "real world"... i've still yet gotten the hang of post-uni life. somehow i still feel like theres another semester to go. 5 years of uni is really no joke. preparing to enter into a new chapter of my life is so troublesome. its back to the drawing board figuring out where and what the heck i should do next. every option sounds so tempting yet so worrying. its like picking A and regretting not picking B. hmmm... if deciding between A and B is so complicated... maybe i should pick C. but then, theres D... and E, F, G... etc.

anyway, cherries are back in season. i have not eaten bananas in months. wonder if my parents would be interested in cherry picking. for me, i prefer to just pick them from the market. yummylicious. i should try this new duck confit recipe. but the bad part is that it requires a heap load of olive oil.

tonight on tv... HowIMetYourMother/ MyNameIsEarl/ Bones/ JamieOliverAustralianDiary/ FamilyGuy. seriously i ain't addicted to tv.

glad Grant Hill is back and playing. he's not been playing a full season for almost 3 years. so far he's been starting all 10 games. please don't sprain anything. maybe the orlando magic has a shot for the championships... let alone the playoffs.

And, its almost a month before christmas.

enveloped in... dark skies

pretty bum-out on the model making. still trying to figure out how to actually built the gallery in a non-messy way. tough it is. i guess the columns are really structurally important... even in the model. but im trying to avoid putting the columns (oh i sound so much like an architect). when i say putting columns, i meant poking sticks all the way through the slabs. this might cause messiness and waste of materials due to trial and errors. dang! but another problem might occur if i do the other option which is putting columns individually at every floor... thats troublesome. plus. it has to be real accurate and aligned in a perfect linear fashion.
should i drape the whole contour now? or after placing all the mullions? dang!

anyway. other things to worry about aside from submission on the 9th. umm... Archi Prac on the 13th november, and PBL on the 16th. not forgetting the HWIDC... thats if i'm still motivated to do it then. haha. dang! jobs jobs jobs... decisions decisions decisions... chill chill chill... dang!
