Well....I know semester won't start till another 2 weeks...but still...the excitement starts now! Already got the project brief which is to design an extension for the Tan Swie Hian museum, and the focus of the project is construction and structure. Plus, the museum is located in Geylang, an area which I have not really explored due to its reputation..so yeah, hopefully site surveys will give new insights!
That aside, these are the modules I'm supposed to take next semester:
AR1202 Design 4 (12MCs)
AR2223 Theory of Urban Design and Planning (4MCs)
PF1204 Mechanical and Engineering Systems (4MCs)
AR2326 Construction II (4MCs)
PF2303 Materials Technology (4MCs)
If you think I put them there to show off...you're absolutely right =) Long live archi!!! The semester ahead seems delightful due to the sheer variation of the modules I'd have to take. So deliciously wide-ranging! Another advantage of an architectural education =D
But well..most of the seniors say traditionally this is one of the busiest semesters. Unmercifully,there is submission nearly every week due to the amount of projects and mini-projects. Not to mention the 28MCs weightage of core modules,of which nearly half will go to design. It is always difficult to think of design in terms of grades since one just wanna let loose and have fun, yet one has to consider how to not screw up the CAP to go up to the next level. Of course there are doubts..what if I'm not creative enough..my stamina isn't good enough...my time management isn't meticulous enough...what if I won't enjo it as much as this semester..what if I'd be one of the 40% drop-outs associated to the department of architecture....
Yah, tapi...
"...biarkan cita-cita kamu menggantung....mengambang....5 centimeter di depan kening kamu...nggak akan lepas dari mata kamu. Dan kamu bawa mimpi dan keyakinan kamu itu setiap hari, kamu lihat setiap hari, dan percaya bahwa kamu bisa. Apa pun hambatannya, bilang sama diri kamu sendiri, kalo kamu percaya sama keinginan itu dan NGGAK BISA menyerah. Bahwa kamu akan berdiri lagi setiap kamu jatuh, bahwa kamu akan mengejarnya sampai dapat, apa pun itu, segala keinginan,mimpi, cita-cita, keyakinan diri....
Dan sehabis itu, yang kamu perlu cuma... cuma kaki yang akan berjalan lebih jauh dari biasanya, tangan yang akan berbuat lebih banyak dari biasanya, mata yang akan menatap lebih lama dari biasanya, leher yang akan lebih sering melihat ke atas...Lapisan tekad yang seribu kali lebih keras dari baja...Dan hati yang akan bekerja lebih keras dari biasanya..Serta mulut yang selalu berdoa...."
Dan biar segala pekerjaanku, semangatku, kebahagiaanku, peluhku dan penghayatanku. . . semuanya, hanya untukMu!
