Three cheers for completing the semester!

Yes! I have finally completed semester 5 and I'm finally on a much needed holiday. Well, to be honest, I finished my semester about last week but I only have the chance to write about it now. Wit all the assignments that were due and the fact that I was also "planning" for my vacation trip with Amal. (Can you guess where? Spoiler: I'm actually already on my vacation trip hehe) I didn't have the energy to sit down and write about it. 

But fret not, I am here to bore you once again about my semester! 

So as you all know, this semester has been a turbulence of emotions. It was like being chewed up, spit out and chewed up again. 

However, I am proud to say that I did mange to get through it and hopefully my marks are good enough to NOT pull my grades down. 

So after our final exhibition, we decided to spend some quality time together. We had a small late dinner picnic in Putrajaya and just basically had a great time just hanging out with each other. 

It was also to celebrate Shamyl & Nab's birthday as well. 

Here's to another semester together and many more years of friendship

*aaaawwww sooo sweettttt hahaha*

P.s: can you guess where I am now? 

How I'm feeling at the moment.

what do you do when you lose your passion? when all you think about is just doing it to complete it and not have a feel to what you are doing. 

I don’t think I’ve lost my love for architecture. I still have the interest in design and buildings. However, it feels like as if there’s a part of me that’s somehow…lost. A part of all the people in my class thats lost. 

We realise that, but we don’t know what it is..

Maybe each of us has our own reason. Maybe our reasons are the same. Some of us blame the lost is entirely our own fault. Some of us blame it on the environment and the people thats influencing us. I think its both. I think its my fault and I also think its the environment.

Negative criticism is not similar to constructive criticism and I think its their fault for not being able to tell that apart. Having said that, maybe they have their reason. I just wish I was strong enough to not get affected by what they said.

On our part, we failed to manage our time wisely. We failed to explore the very depths of our soul and our creative mind. We gave up too soon when its only just begun. 

I hope during the holidays, I’ll be able to rediscover my passion again. I hope I will be able to feel the same way as I felt when I was in my freshman year in architecture school. 

I love architecture. I’m not giving up on it. I’m just lost…and I need to find myself and my passion for it again.

EXAMS ARE OVER~

It is official! I have finished my exams for this semester! 

We celebrated our final paper with laksa rimba and chendol. After that, we walked to the park to check out the wall paintings the 1st year students did earlier this semester. 

Sadly, I have another week to stay on campus for the exhibition and to finish up all my assignments. Sigh....wish me luck and pray I get through this semester....

Jump for joy...just a little bit more!

Green school, Bali, Indonesia

I cant wait till the end of this semester. Just a little bit more and I'm able to relax. Tomorrow I have my last paper and I need to finish up A LOT of assignments. Wish me luck doodlers. Speaking of doodling, today I sketched a dragon from the How to Train your dragon movie. Dont really know what its called...but I had fun sketching this one. It was a relaxed and free sketch. Still needs to be refined but for now I think its alright. :) 

Gonna get back to studying before sleeping and waking up and passing that test! Wish me luck everyone~

After a week of not sleeping well

So last thursday was our final submission for our project. I cant tell you exactly how it went...I'm pretty confused myself...I think it went ok.
The next thing thats is coming up would be the internal and external exhibition, final exams and the shitload of assignments that somehow need to be completed. Yeay!

I haven't gotten the chance to read any books recently. I've completed Murakami's book "Colourless Tsukuru Tazaki and his years of pilgrimage" however, I haven't had the chance to write about it. I promise I will !

Today's post is gonna be a short one as I'm in the middle of preparing for my exam and completing my overdue assignment.

I really hope next semester I'm better at time management.

Till next time!

after 2 mins of posting the 1st blog in january 2015....here's the 2nd one

HAHA ok ok I realise that I only JUST posted a blog post. but I found a really awesome New Year's resolution on The angry architect and yeah. thats part of my OTHER resolution list as well.


mental resolution list that is. I never wrote anything down. maybe I should....bt I somehow misplaced my daily planner.....


HEHEH :P

au revoir mon amie!

HALO 2015! Resolutions and shit.

Chris the dog | from my trip to Korea in October

Its crazy how time flies! Its already 2015! As much as I'm tempted to write about my 'resolutions' which no one really cares...I decided I'm just gonna update about what has been going on anyway~ I'm still in my semester and its finals month. and I'm working weeeeaallly weeeeaaalllyyy hard and hopefully I'm gonna make it through this semester.

which reminds me...of the amount of work that is on hold....and due....shit.....

I do hope for one thing though in this coming year. That I will put a stop to my procrastination and be more organised. Its a huge step for me as I'm not the most organised person in the world and thats something I really wanna improve in. I don't want to end up like this semester where I'm struggling with the assignments and what not. (seriously...I'm so good at procrastinating that if I was a terminator robot...I'd be the procrastinator)

apart from that, I do want to make an effort in looking after my appearance more. The sleepless nights have really taken a toll on my skin and health and its not good. Plus, I'm also going to be entering the working world soon and I need to start acting and looking like an adult. (slowly though...I'm only 22 this year)

Changing yourself is not an easy task and I suppose many people fail at accomplishing their resolutions (myself included) is because we tend to pile on so many things that our mind, body and soul isn't ready for. Change requires consistency and patience. (that includes posting a blog post every week atleast!)

Break down your goals into smaller ones and achieve it slowly and by the time the year ends...you'll be the person you hoped to be. (hopefully)

For myself...That includes being organised. Less procrastinating. Healthy skin and body. and hopefully able to travel as much as I did in 2014! and posting a blogpost every week. I owe it to you guys.

Apart from that, I would just love to wish all of you a Happy New Year! and thank you for reading my blog. :D

Till next time!

:*
