Phew that was fun. Its been some time I did work overnight and not sleep. Last time I did that, I overslept by 4 hours, missed meeting my dear before school as promised the night before, and got to school 2 hours late. Well today's a Sunday, but I'll still be meeting him.

I just got my powerpoint presentation basics done. Now I've gotta get the hardscapes and furniture done, photocopy, put in the softscapes, colour. Only, silly me just had to forget to bring my Copic markers home from my workspace; so I've to borrow someone else's who's already done colouring and didn't leave the markers in the studio. Hope someone can help.

Other than that, there's still the sections, elevations, and perspective drawings, and the study model. Mmn..all these depend on a completed layout, so I can't start yet. Perspectives maybe, and oh yeah, the concept brief in relation to site.

Yay. I don't feel too bad now that the ppt is at least there. LAYOUT!!! MUST GET IT DONE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!!

Its sad how some of the important people in your life sometimes simple forget the simple details of your life, while you bother to take note and remember theirs. I'm not exactly sad or anything, just wondering how is it that they don't seem to be able to recall the simplest of things.

AND...Its confirmed that I'll be going for the Taman Negara trip next month! If I read the itinerary well, it sounds more like a leisure trip than a study trip :) and Calvin's coming along too! YAY!! What could be better! But..haha...this is strange but true...AGAIN my school trip clashes with a cosplay event, and this will mean that I haven't gone to any cosplay event this year. How sad~

Also, I received and invitation ffrom the S'pore Poly Dept of Language and Communications to take up Diploma-Plus course in Malay studies. Apparently, you've to be individually invited by the school to take this opportunity. Also apparently, they pick only the 'top few' students who graduated out of sec sch or whatever with exceptional ML grades. Not that I'm trying to brag, but...methinks they overestimate me. I only had a mere B3 for GCE 'O' Levels twice. In any case, if I can have a GPA of at leats 2.5 at the end of Year 1, I can take up the invitation to do this additional course that can apparently again, give me wider opportunities to working or studying in Malaysia. When I think about this part, I keep on going "Oh WOW. Why would I wanna study there? I'd rather pursue Landscape Architecture in NZ!"

I appreciate the offer anyway, SP. Thanks for the invitation. I am most honoured.

Anyways~ its already 6am now, I might as well go pray Subuh and continue on my layout plan. Till next time, guys! Wish me luck for my submission tomorrow and my presentation/critique session this coming Thursday!

My dearest has just returned from Japan 2 days ago :D

I'm so so so very happy, I thought that yesterday was a Monday. Then when I think, I realise its a Thursday. His return somehow marked the start of my week. He altered my biological calendar, dammit :p

Haha. Its been a LONG time since I last blogged here. More than half a month. Sorry for my disappearance. Obviously, Primer 4 project has been swallowing my time. I enjoy doing it, though. I enjoy the stress that comes with it; the A1-sized, 1:100 scale layout plans; the feel of tracing paper under my hand instead of butter paper for the past 2 months. Projects can be fun when you're on the right and good-timing track :)

I haven't had any anime for the past few months, though. Somehow it doesn't bother me much anymore. Its as if it doesn't really matter. As long as I can watch anime when I've the time to catch it on TV. Oh no. Could I be so stressed, I'm starting to find no joy in anime anymore?? NOOOOO!!!

ANyways, LOTS has happened this past weeks that I haven't been blogging. Some of the most important news:
`I went for the 1-day Powered Pleasure Craft Driving License (PPCDL) Course
`I've fallen in love with the song 'Vestige' from GSeedDestiny
`I've started watching Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicles (finally!!)
`I've started picking up speed on my Primer
`Calvin went to Nippon-land
`I own a beautiful, superb, exquisite hankerchief from Nippon-land
`and a not-as-superb, but just as exquisite vanity mirror from Nippon-land as well
`Calvin dearest has made me so very proud of him for his achievement in the Sports Chanbara competition in Nippon-land (Bronze medal for Kihon Dosa)
`I've been seriously considering taking up Kendo next year
`I actually consumed an extremely fine and exquisite mochi from Nippon-land itself!!
`I've a one-month assignment on chart work for my GE/ISBT module.

(Note: All things of Nippon-land origin is thanks to my darling Calvin ^^)

By the way, I actually forgot to take my handphone with me when I left the studio yesterday. So Calvin got Fadilah to bring it home for me (I only realised I didn't have my phone with me when I was already in the bus). Gah~ I miss smsing nonsense.

Concept: Columns. Style: Modern-Contemporary. I really had thought my Primer 4 would be Japanese-influenced. Apparently I like contemporary design and architecture (and even plants) better. Oh well. I like my design so far, anyways. If I can, I'll load the layout plan up on this blog to show you guys how it looks like. I'm very proud of my work :D

Ouh. I'm listening to 'Shinkai no Kodoku' right now; its an insert song from GSeedDestiny (Stellar's image song). I really like to listen to this song when I'm doing work on the comp very late at night; so late, its early. One time, I listened to it, scrutinize the meaning of the lyrics, and I just started crying. This song is really really sad. The lyrics..it starts with "Kanashimi wo oshiete" = "Tell me what is sadness". I mean, Stellar, the character whom this song is for, she's not really human; she's an 'Extended', born and bred for the sole purpose of fighting the war, and her emotions and memories are all controlled and manipulated. So literally, she doesn't know the meaning of sadness. All she knows is to kill the enemy, and "I don't wanna die". Best part is, this song was 1st played on the anime on the episode when Stellar died. All that combined together...its really a tear-jerking concoction.

Okie now I'm on 'Honoo no Tobira', also an insert song from GSD (and Cagalli's image song). This song..its only about 65% as sad as 'Shinkai no Kodoku'. Its about Cagalli learning to pick up the courage to lead her country during the time of a great, seemingly repeating war, to follow just like how her father had brought the country true to their ideals of being a neutral state despite being cornered by both the Earth Alliance and ZAFT to take sides to the war, otherwise be assumed an enemy and be annhilated. The song captures her anxiety and courage, and also her desire to know how it feels to love again, when times are peaceful. Beautiful song, nothing less.

Now what the heck am I doing, analysing anime songs when I'm supposed to either work on my layout or get my required sleep -_-"
