Double D’s. |
September 1, 2010 |
Good day folks. It seems almost impossible to squeeze time out of my hectic life wtf although I’m usually home stoning in front of the PC either making models, screaming in frustration while working on my 3D models, having ink marks all over my hand after drawing; either that or I’m constantly in deep thought. 
This isn’t funny anymore because I realize how consumed I get by work, work(uni assignments) who keeps me up all night, it keeps me grounded literally and I guess in some ways I’m happy with what I’m doing but yet it takes the life out of me.
The Keeper thinks that I’m a workaholic by nature, you’ll see me sitting at the same spot working on the same damn thing for hours without that itch to do something else(not until I’m done of course). And what frustrates me most at times, is how my dad would gladly assume that I’m wasting my time off doing something online wtf or I’m lacking passion for architecture. Trust me, architecture students are all driven by passion & the love for what they do. Its one of the many things that keeps us up but yet it develops so many different aspects in ourselves as we learn. 
Dilemmas & decisions. These Double-D’s, point blank killers.
I’m starting to accept that my life will always be filled with these double-D’s. Its almost impossible to get rid of them, so if you can’t beat them; why not join them right wtf. Not sure how that applies here, but I guess thats all part of growing up.So to all my younger readers out there, in case you’re feeling all lousy and beaten up today by all the shitty growing pains; tell yourself that there’s nothing you can’t accomplish. When there’s a will, there’ll always be a way.
Us still looking rather normal, plus the eyebags.
I’d like to just share a couple of pictures to demonstrate how my life revolves so much around architecture at home. So much that my room table isn’t large enough that I have to work in the dining area wtf. I literally separated the table that can fit 8 people into “working zones”, and you might wanna take a look at the amount of mess it is at the moment. I hope you’re not expecting something tidy because there are some designers/architects who works best under controlled chaos. 
#1 My always growing in size pencil case, don’t usually invest in any expensive one because it usually gets destroyed via UHU Glue or the blades/cutters. 
Wasted 9 hours of my life on this. Gonna be bringing this to class to later.
A transformed dining table experience. 
And this two sheets of hand drawn A1′s took up 10 hours of my yesterday. You can imagine the amount of mess and rubbish that comes along with this?
Just for the sake of comparing the size of the model with the phone. Its not very big in size if you catch my drift. 
All these put together is a Sunday/Monday/Tuesday’s worth of work, minus the 3D computer generated model of course. Don’t know if you can picture this girl sitting all alone till wee hours in the morning with twitter as her main companion since I don’t chat much.
This was the previous design scheme before the one shown above.
This was taken a couple of days ago using the lappie, I didn’t realize I cut myself until much later when mum asked what happened to your thigh wtf. God knows why do I even bother having this picture up, but yeah for the sake of sharing my hardships; why not?
This was dinner last night, at Manhattan Fish Market. I wanted to had Fridays but we all know that the queue for dinner with buka puasa & public holidays going hand in hand; its not possible. 
I enjoyed the treat none the less! The Keeper stayed up with me on Merdeka eve because he wants to be the best boyfriend in the whole wide world wtf just kidding; I needed the morale support & love. Staying in at times is pretty fun at times, when you make him wash all the dishes with you fighting between soaping/rinsing off; and you’d be surprise with how professional men can be when it comes to doing the dishes. 
In that case,may I suggest that all future husbands to do all the dishes after the wives cook?
Excellent idea!

Sometimes you just gotta find the balance and love what you do to its fullest. And no matter how tough life gets, just gotta hang in there; and fight your way through. I am struggling, struggling to grab a good hold of the 384862376426398462 things to do, but I know I will be able to pull it off. Feel free to drop me some words of encouragement because I could so use some of that!
Chins up that September is here!
