Here Comes the Sun

Best decision I made last week: The last minute waterfall trip to Sematan :)
I got the best massage for free, it got rid of my crap backache within a day.:)

:) times

watched To Save A Life with my brother today. Meaningful. :) 
Did i ever tell you how I really love my sitting room in the afternoon? 
All you ever need is the aircond, a blanket and a pillow, and the little bit of sunlight shinning through the curtains for a perfect afternoon. 

Generally, I had a nice week. minus the times i can't help thinking about how i did for my assignments. Just sucks thinking about it when you can't do anything to change it now. 

It amazes me how I have lost the need for sleep as soon as I got released from the four walls. Just like how people won't appreciate people until they are gone, you won't appreciate sleep until you're forced to go without it. Have been catching up with different ones, and it is really the best thing to do. :) It probably comes before art on my passion-list. I love how people really inspire me more than anything else, especially when I am so blessed with the bestest friends on earth. Truly, I really don't know what i'm gonna do without them. 

My first jogging session after 2 crazy weeks was epic! It had to rain only after i did 2.4km. Ran out of the track soaking wet while trying to believe how I could run so fast under the pressure of #thunder. Ended up heart-to-heart talking in Mich's car with our wet clothes on. I missed it so much! And i finally bought my swimming cap, now i can go swimming 3 times a day or something :p

I had the best weekend. Nothing beats having your prayers and questions answered. :) He really knows how to keep me going! Love Him!

And before i say goodnight, my new discovery about myself this week: I am 1cm taller than i thought. which makes me 173cm. yay! :D Can't wait for next week... Already feeling so excited looking at it from here!!


It doesn't matter what may come my way,
You are the strength of my life Lord,
I'm holding on to You!

BYE, CRY TIME

introducing, the four walls that have been containing me, 
for almost the whole of the past four weeks. 

The bittersweet territory

at my 10th hour sitting on a chair during one of those days

 hangout #1: sending Joey, lyn and Jas off.
starbucks happy hour! Tried Chocolate Cookie Crumble for the first time :)

 Fabric shopping for sathish's assignment which i enjoyed very much :)
except the part where i have to sew with an old sewing machine. 

The music video that was on repeat for days...

SNEAK PEAKS!
Will update PORTFOLIO BLOG after i get the pictures organized! :)

HELLO AGAIN!
I am done with my 3 weeks in the caves!! To those who have been loyal in visiting my page, big thank you for keeping my blog alive :) tho I bet it must be hack boring to read the same posts for 3 weeks haha! 

basically,
+ a lot of (nerdy)nightlife
=my life for the past 3 weeks.

Hohohoho. My holidays are finally here!! Glad its a fact! I can't even believe that i am done with my work. see, 3 weeks ago, (which seemed like a very short while ago now), I couldn't even picture the final outcome of my assignments. And now i'm looking at them, like in the many dreams i dreamt in the past weeks. This semester felt really different!! First time feeling so nervous about not being able to finish work, first time changing concepts like katy perry changing clothes, first time working through the nights. I guess no one can get through design course without going through this ae? Well i guess its always a great choice to persevere. 

Anyway, the best part of the past weeks was the time spent with my classmates. They were so much of a great help. cheering each other on, running around getting art materials and working together to try make each other's idea work. So blessed to have them as classmates :)

Most of all, I wanna thank God for this sem, really couldn't have done it without Him!! He came through for me so many times!

For now, its BREAK TIME!! The dresses Shel, Rach and i bought together all came yesterday, makes me so excited for Melbourne!! Cant believe its in a month :D 

Looking up to great experiences and new memories!!! 

May you live each day
With no regret
Make the most of every chance you get
Let your eyes get wide
When you look at the stars

OUR DAY!

"Okay guys, now you can go wild! "

facilitators off duty! )))

While we were packing up after today's facilitation, it suddenly hit me that we only have one more week of Contemporary Design Issues class left. Felt a lil sad as I am really gonna miss looking forward to this class every week! Best class, biggest class, noisiest, craziest, friendliest and most inspiring class in my entire life as a university student! 

And not forgetting Mr Sathish! He is my favorite lecturer! I really love his lectures, knowing he not only knows what he is talking about, but he knows them WELL! Besides, he is the most dedicated lecturer i've ever met. Which lecturer prints your assignments for you when you email it to him for feedbacks? 

I'm thankful and glad they really enjoyed today's facilitation! My favorite part of the session was watching them play the Blindman's game! I just had a new experience with the Blindman's gameI guess being designer students, we're well trained to be creative with everything. Having to come up with many ideas for just one assignment... And here we are, having one million ideas of how to play the Blindman's game, taking it to a whole new level! They were so cute bumping into tables and walls, one of them was close to sweeping my laptop off the table while trying to feel her way through. hahaha

Quite satisfied with this week! I feel i've done a lot with it! (except doing sports :( ) 
Excited about the weekends and having my lil brother back! Its gnna be the bro and I show!
I am super happy right now! ))

I'll Be With You Like A Shadow






Being busy have been so fun! Well, not 100%, can't deny how it can really get so overwhelming, but i must say i am really enjoying the process, and especially how we get to work a lot with more people this semester! It really made this whole learning journey a lot more eye opening! Lyn, Jasmine and I will be facilitating this Friday's class, and we're finally getting excited about it after 3 days of brain frying. Finally got an inspiration this morning, just from driving by a blind man on the way to school. Amazing how one, in his imperfection can do so much of a great help! Anyone is capable of being a blessing :)

Had a short photoshoot session for a friend's class assignment last night! Paired with Rachel :) no, not my twin, but Rachel Cheah. She is just as awesome! :) Both newbies, so its so good to have each other as side kicks/mirrors! It was really memorable!

Could barely sleep last night! woke up at 4am to some sound and stayed awake for 2 hours counting and herding sheeps. Long awesome day of classes, continuous meetings, *first time fabric/craft shopping which took up all afternoon!!!* I loved that! (:

Now, i've got a whole awesome night to fight through #yay.

Oh something awesome from Rach last night, a note from her housemate-
"May these shadows you see around you only remind you of how blessed you are to be hiding under His wings."

Never seen it that way. So awesome! :)


да ты можешь!!!

PORTFOLIO BLOG UPDATED! C:

RUSKI

@Sadau last night for two hours of fresh air...
I failed to bring a proper camera again. :(



jgafgaglakjn week! Busy Clumpsy Mad. Ok I shouldn't be complaining knowing my brain went through worst. Trying to keep my thoughts positive, trying not to lose the joy cuz i know thats where all the strength come from. God is faithful :)

Anyway, favourite thing about the week was learning Russian! I've finally started, after NATO-ing for quite some time now. Came back on Wednesday night with a dead brain. (dead to work only) And for some reason i wasn't able to sleep so I ended up studying Russian until 230 in the morning. I'm now able to recognize letters, read and spell Russian words (whether or not i understand is another thing), and understand and speak a few basic sentences! Really happy about it! :)
