Summing up 2011

So, this is the final day of year 2011! Hence the effort to blog. hahaha. i’ve been sooooooooo super busy omggg. it’s crazy i tell you. suddenly so many job opportunities came by and i greedily grabbed all. i have a temporary job, a part time job, and two freelance projects! My client’s (from my first freelance retail design project) contractor told me that he likes my design and asked if i would like to design a condominium! took up the offer. hehe. that’s how i ended up with two freelance projects. suffering now, but waiting to reap my sweet rewards.

this year, i completed my Bachelor of Environmental Design (Architecture) Degree!!! WOOHOO. Well on my way to being an architect! the all distinction grade was an achievement. (: satisfied.

travelled to sydney for the first time and met up with mathilda, samantha ng, and dickson. all ex classmates.

my bu, wh, was with me throughout most of my days and i’m glad that i have him. we supported each other through the rushing of assignments. made coffee for each other, cooked meals for each other, ate like greedy pigs together and went through all ups and downs together. bu, i just wana say i love you, and thankyou for everything. <3

made some new friends, hopefully we’d stay in contact always. especially the international friends, it’ll be hard to meet up but i hope even though we have already gone our separate ways, somewhere in the future our paths would intertwine again.

old friends like my polymates and my besties from secondary school, i hope to keep them forever <3

Resolution for 2012: to be be happier than i was this year and work hard for masters.

Hopes and wishes for 2012: for my family, friends, and our loved ones to be happy and healthy. And to get all distinctions and high distinctions grades for masters. hehe.

i have to get back to doing work now, so one last thing, I CAN’T WAIT TO GO PENANG NEXT WEEK! 4 more days to seeing my bu and eating all the food there! (now i know to bring a toilet roll everywhere i go, and food poisoning medicine too cos apparently i have a weak digestive system)

and the song goes,

“Whenever I am feeling low
I look around me and I know
There’s a place that will stay within me
Wherever I may choose to go
I will always recall the city
Know every street and shore
Sail down the river which brings us life
Winding through my Singapore

Chorus:
This is home truly, where I know I must be
Where my dreams wait for me, where the river always flows
This is home surely, as my senses tell me
This is where I won’t be alone, for this is where I know it’s home

When there are troubles to go through
We’ll find a way to start anew
There is comfort in the knowledge
That home’s about its people too
So we’ll build our dreams together
Just like we’ve done before
Just like the river which brings us life
There’ll always be Singapore”

i’m home! and i’ve officially graduated with a degree. did relatively well this sem with all distinctions. of course there are some crazily good classmates who got straight High Distinctions. ohwells. i’m satisfied with my grades.

watching korean drama, listening to the faint sound of dad playing his guitar and piano downstairs, lazing in bed, cherishing cold air, smelling a variety of yummy smells coming from the kitchen, having meals with family infront of the teevee.. all too familiar. makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside. brother’s not home yet though, cuz he’s in the army doing national service. i havent seen him in his uniform yet. elder sis melissa isn’t home yet too, cuz she’s in japan.

i wana find a job for these 3 months i’m gona be home! if all goes well, i’ll be studying my masters next year.. really hoping to do so.

for now, buh bai! dinner’s calling out to me. x)

savoring freedom

so what’s new y’all?? well, i’m liberated! very free and happy everyday, sleeping all i want (but at the same time trying not to screw up my body clock), playing games (plants vs zombies even though i conquered the whole thing numerous times already, team fotress 2, viwawa), meeting up with friends, daydream all i want, eat nice home cooked food, etc.

some images of the work done for Design Studio 6, by myself, carin, and gina! i have awesome groupmates. it was a pleasure working with them and i’m uber proud of the work we achieved. (:

all smiles

DS is going well.. (: at least that’s what me and my groupmates (Carin and Gina) think. hehe. i’m quite satisfied with our work, and am glad that i have them as my groupmates. without them, i wouldn’t be able to achieve what we have today. Cuz normally i’m a slow worker, and if i spend too much time on one thing, the other stuffs would be neglected and end up not being up to my expectations.

though i’m busy with school work, it’s actually quite enjoyable to do them! especially DS.

BTD and HTD nextt..

am happy right now.

last thing, i <3 my boyf. (:
