stupid fucking weather

as design "finals" by - part 1 -

Hmmm.. enough of food posts for now.. *grins*
Don't feel like looking at those pix right at this time of the night.. errr.. or day..
Almost 2 am. Feel like dozing off d. Sort of.

Well, posted up some pix from the days before the big finals.
My final interim crit was on the 15th October..
The juniors' was a day earlier, if not mistaken...
Finally it was all over.... *wipes sweat*
Heart beats at the normal pace again.
But the feeling is like.. "suffering from hangover".. *scowls*
Though it was over, but felt like.. not so over yet...
Despite we still have to do some up-grading work before the final submission of all boards..

Sleeping hours were running off-track..
So used to working till wee hours in the morning around 5-6 am for almost a month half..
Now trying to patch my hours back.. hmmmm... not effectively working..
Feeling tired about now.. but will toss and turn and swing on bed for a few hours...
Frustrated.. before settling down to date "Mr Chow's son" in my dreams... Sigh.

Alright.. Back to the pix...
These was taken a few days before the final presentation day..
Everyone was rushing to complete their works.. especially design models..
In design studio. Was a Saturday.
Stupid school off-ed all the acond after 1pm that day.. Hot and stuffy...
But luckily it rained later... at least some slight cool wind breezing its way in..

My incomplete model.. Scale 1:125.. Freaking whole A1 size base.
I hate making models. Hate Hate Hate.. GGGrrrrrr....

Last semester.. *click*
On my final presentation day. My final year, final semester for my degree.
My class only consist of me and Eng. Lonely two. Sigh. Poor us.
Anyway.. below, Eng presenting.. then kena bombard for almost 2 hours by the panels..

Went to school today again to submit my internship report.
Dropped by studio to kacau Tess, EeZhu and Chris..
Snapped a few of the detail model.. Scale 1:20 if not mistaken...

Tomorrow is the External Crit Session for the Architectural students..
I might be going.. so there comes Part 2. I think.

Trying my best to sleep now.
*fingers crossed*
Nights to my babies...



More food & movie posts coming.. Nyeknyek~



Tiring-nya.. Will try to be a BIMBO! =P

I just want to sulk.

I'm not sleeping and I'm not doing any work.
Heaps of work piling way up my brain... suffocating me to my last bits..
Struggling to think, to get my fingers start clicking and cadding...

Looking at this messy scratchy sickening site measurement piece..
I'm so stuck here.. not knowing where and how to start...
oh gawddddd..... (major attempt to tear it up into pieces)

I know I have a lot of things to do but I... I... just... *stammers*
I know I know I know... but not doing it.. not doing it.. soooo no mood.
Plain lazy to think, i admit.
I'm worried.... way worried but just not doing anything now...
I can start right away... but.. but... the heart just ain't there..

*fingers crossed*
*toes crossed*
*hair tips crossed*

I know I have to get the plan all out first.. but..
my head kept shifting places, thinking of the new concept... *sniffs*
(which the 1st proposal was rejected and stuck to produce a new concept based on the existing framework that I don't quite fancy it at all)
thinking bout other approaches, themes, detail drawings, design intentions, demographics...
illustrations, marketing management etc etc
And site models and drawings by Thursday. *faints*

This is SO not my usual self.

It's my FINALS argghhh godddammnnnittt....
Huuuuuuu haaaaaaaaaa breathe in breathe out.
It's not working!!!!!!

Can someone kick my ass and knock some sense into me?
Please help me.. i need it BIG TIME!!~



And yet I'm sitting here reading a stranger's blog and worrying and not doing anything.
Half-hoping my dream prince will come kuda-kan me off my worries. -_-


Fail la me.

Wait. I think is the weather. Or maybe the time.
Ok. Sleep. I'll be better tomorrow. Promise.




I love my job but sometimes I really wonder why lar i choose this field??

Gawd help me please.

tension+stressed all waved by

The crit pix finally up.
just recovered myself from the 6 hours blackout!!
teaching me a very valuable lesson on how i really really love the person..
who invented air-cond.. ok fine.. the fan-man too...
arghh.. or better said the electricity-founder. *rolled eyes*

Called TNB several times to file a complaint..
keep telling me.. after an hour or two... that an hour or two never came..
why? cable explode?? I almost sarcastically ask did anyone died?!! *swears*
Worst... my neighbours all got electricity.. just like my house the pitched black one.
then TNB fella told me... cos we're sharing the different cable.
Wow.. thanks for like making me feel like some sort of VIP.

I tried to sleep but I was so drenched in sweat.
So frustrating. n my mobile battery went flat.
And you know.. Anger can make one go KUKU.

Internal Crit Day
Last Friday. May 2, 2008.

Internal Crit simply means a critique session/our final big presentation for the semester where the panels of judges will be our own department staff. Not including our studiomaster.

Our class project for this semester was actually to design a gallery + office + resource center for the new collaboration of MSID and IPDM = IDAM, Interior Designers Association Malaysia.
Seniors supposed to design the whole layout.
Juniors to design our cafe and lobby area.. and also the main facade.
So technically, one senior to work with 2 juniors.
Me with Jasmynn and Ezu. Eng with Tess and Chris.

Jasmynn's (my junior team-mate) facade model. (above)
And she again, pinning her boards up on the drafting tables. (below)

Chris's crit session time. (above)
Mine and Eng's boards. Mine at the bottom. Only we both were seniors. (below)

Internal Crit day was much more horrifying than External Crit.
Somehow our own lecturers are much more a BOMBer than outsiders.
Or issit we took it much more personally when our own lecturers shoot us with no mercy?

External Crit Day
Last Tuesday. May 6, 2008.

External Crit = critique session/our final big presentation for the semester where the panels of judges will be industrial professionals, architects, or other institutions' lecturers.
Not including our own lecturers and studiomaster. And free refreshment & lunch are served.

Only three studios presented today.
Us - seniors ID Year 3 and Year 2 students.
Final architecture year students.
And year 2 architecture students - juniors.
Others not sure when.

Our studio all prepared for the crit. Waiting for panels to come in.
My boards remained the same. Lower part of the white board.
Need not for me to upgrade it but Eng did.

Clean and well-arranged by us obviously. (above)
Ezu attentively looking at Tess's boards (below)

Ok. This semester all over and done with.
Crits and reviews were good.
Constructive comments to keep up.
Hopefully I pass and next semester will be my last study semester.
All's good? Yay good.
