So far...

(this will be a pretty long post just listing things that have been happening lately. skip it if you're not interested in my life.)

1. so far...i've been quite able to keep my resolution to sleep no later than 12 midnite, which helps in keeping morning prayer n bible reading regular. i will keep it no matter what, since my resolution this semester is to shift my passion to things of God.. and if I can't feel that passionate yet, then all the more i should act passionate, i think.

2. another thing that has enabled me to sleep before 12 (been sleeping at 11 and even 10pm...unheard of for archi student..) is that my "engine" for designing is not reved up yet..cuz well, if one is very "on" about designing one just forgets the clock and forgets sleep..which is not happening right now.. just don't feel so "enthu" and am taking it slow.. which is bad, really..don't wanna fail design! and it's 12 MCs! am gaining speed, though, shedding the slack-ness that comes from holiday and starting to be more enthusiastic about working heck hard in design. I have a tutor that knows pretty good deal about architecture, and i like his approach to architecture even if he might seem unfriendly at times, so yeah, starting to get excited!

3. crashed a computing lecture with a secondary school friend who went to Aussi and came back for holiday... went like this: we both loitered around NUS since i promised to show him around, then at a bit before noon we waited for m computing fren who was supposed to smuggle us in. Well...that friend of mine came kinda late n turned out we had to sit right smack in front of the professor, what with the small class size...huhu... pretty fun though, I'm now totally grateful that I'm in archi! hahaha... aside from that, yea i always enjoy listening to things i don't know.. i don't really understand what's going on,there were a lot of jargons, but for me it was like listening to a foreign languages, and i so like listening to foreign languages! let's see what i remember.... automata, mutual induction, proof..umm..pretty much all..hahha..

4.my favorite cousin came...just for two days one nite! sucks..but we had fun while it lasted.. went around Bugis street helping him hunt a pair of rings and necklace for his girlfriend, it was fun! (kinda surprising actually, seeing as i don't like shopping and i don't like "blings", but i guess it's true, it's not a matter of what you're doing, but who you're doing it with.) especially since we both have wacky sense of humour and juz naturally got attracted to the weirder rings..haha.. oh, i didn't know that there's a sex-toy shop smack in the middle of Bugis street..geez...and when me n me couz passed by, there was an old uncle standing and picking his nose in front of a row of indecent posters... surreal... it's almost perverse, really, he fact that he's so absorbed in what he's doing and hence ignored the abundance of "temptations" around him..

5. my application for exchange program is approved...to Paris! but it's just the NUS side.. i still have to go through the application for the French side, Ecole speciale d'architecture. oh man..i really hope it goes through..though, with my current level of French, it probably means i have to choose between being a virtual dumb-mute when i get to Paris, or work my derriere off studying French every night from now on..

6. Realise i'm very lousy with computer programs since I've never really taken the time to learn them.. have always favored books over coms.. thankfully Reren is so computer savvy! anyone wanna join me in photoshop class and get her to tutor? Class starts strictly after 12 pm though..haha.. ;p jk, thanks lots Ren!
