Hello from the desk of Sarah.
Its been almost 2 years since my last update. It felt like a really long time for me and I had other priorities in life but I decided I'd get back into blogging again. So I thought we should start of the blog with some updates of where am I at this point in my life.
Im currently in my 2nd year working in an architecture firm. I feel like the years had just gone by and I've learnt much more than what I thought I knew. I got my degree and yeah, Im currently working on some amazing things. (Well, I hope they turn out amazing haha!). I've gotten back into fencing after i completed my studies and currently taking up Sabre blade instead of Epee. I can explain more in greater detail in a separate blog. And I'm going to pursue my master degree hopefully next year. But thats a different story.
So, I also feel like I should explain why I had stopped blogging and why I wanted to get back into blogging.
Reasons I stopped :
1) I wanted to focus more on work and I wasnt sure how blogging would help me in my career / personal development.
2) My daily activities werent that exciting to blog about. cause it was a 9-6 job and it leaves for very limited amount of time I could spend on doing
3) I lost track of what my purpose was. Why did I blog in the first place? surely there must be some reason deep down that fuelled me to start blogging in the first place. Whatever that purpose was...I lost track of it
Reasons I got back into blogging :
1) Source of inspiration and idea sharing. I want my blog to be something that can inspire someone and becomes a platform where I can share my thoughts on books, travels, architecture etc.
2) Creative output. When I was in highschool, I wrote. A LOT. I'd write about my day, about the adventures I had, about the fantasies of rockstars and football players (Cristiano Ronaldo) hahaha. But eversince I started college, thats when I stopped writing all those fantasies etc. It was all academic writing and made it really difficult for me to express my creative side. I didnt want that to happen so I restarted my blog during uni and shared all my adventures to the world (dont know if the world actually reads it but its ok hahaha). Since I started working, the cycle has repeated itself and I find myself not being able to express myself in creative writing. My creativity is needed elsewhere, in my designs and ideas in architecture (which Im blessed to have and dont mind doing cause thats another creative output).
3) Sharing what its like to be a design architect/ junior architect especially to those who are thinking of pursuing architecture. I dont have the years of experiences like other architecture blogs but I can take you on my mini adventures and lessons learnt from working in architecture so far as a somewhat recent graduate.
So, I hope that gives you an overview of my life updates and reasons to my absence and why im getting back inro blogging.
I probably would need to know how to blog better or plan my blogs better but we'll go with it. as they say, "Go with the flow~"
Till next post! (which hopefully wont be too far apart hahaha)
xx,
Sarah
