Dance like nobody's watching

Taint a celestial vault for me in shades of blue, and sprinkle stars over clear waters, emulating musical notes floating through frozen times. Give me a sandglass containing grains of memories, take a photo of someone dancing through the prairie fields, or maybe filter Paris's boulevards and cafes in vintage lens -- drown me in such ethereal worlds.

( courage? @ 3:57 AM )


Sometimes I tell myself, I will pull through. Indeed I will, certainly, in the end, but what then of the process? There will indeed be bad crits, times when your hardwork involving several sleepless nights would be criticized, trampled on, and brandished aside within a few moments of heartbeat. There just isn't justice. Crying is for the weak (or for the brave, so they say), surely to be true in such situations. You don't ground yourself day and night to be an architect only to allow your emotions overwhelm you during critical presentations. WEAK, would be the immediate judgement bestowed upon you.

But then, how to be brave, when sweat, tears, frustration, excitement, revelation (or so it had perhaps seemed so many times) -- thousands of emotions all rolled into one thin sheet of careful creation had eventually turned into nothing but work of despise? Stereotyped, accused, demanded...

It just doesn't seem right when an education doesn't instill your passion but kills it off, week after week (twice per week), bit by bit. You can criticize all you want, we welcome it. But what you don't do is you shouldn't trample on our efforts even if it seems ridiculously horrible. One do not simply judge a book by its cover. We aren't people in lack of the fire, but it's just that too many instances of cold water drowning us had happened, it just ain't right sometimes. Surely just a little acknowledgement of the huge amount of effort and time wouldn't kill?

But then surely I wasn't strong enough. These ugly emotions.

Tutors need to show a little love when they can. This is what's wrong with Singapore's education. Too easily are we stuck with this routined way of imparting our knowledge, too much, too restricting. Too much emphasis on time and efficiency, that we overlook or simply give up the ability to facilitate creative discussion. Rubbish and nonsense do indeed make your life worthwhile, just so you know.

I think this is the first post ever that hasn't actually achieved that self-healing effect I usually have when writing. Ugly, ugly, ugly. All right, let's get back to being licked. How sarcastic, courage in your face like that.

( at the beginning @ 3:11 AM )


No matter how I try to look at it, it simply seems that the diminishing seconds signifies yet another round of turmoil and hardship waiting in line. But also I tell myself to be (and will be) stronger. Besides, there is also a tiny tinge of excitement underneath the layers of doubt and fear.

Here's a reminder to myself: It's probably best to build up that passion fast and hard.

Sometimes, certain scenes from the younger days enlighten me. 当心灵已被时间渲染,保持幼时的那股冲劲颇显困难。但是,应该常回顾一下以前的天真无邪,那有助于拾回信心。

A little late, but perhaps my new year's resolution:
Be more efficient. (:
Make yourself happy.
Or, try to construct and see the happiness within things.
Don't forget the people supporting your backs.
Don't forget the people walking with you as well.
Make decisions that you won't regret ten years down the road.
Lessen mum's burden when you can.
Read more (as always).

I've still a long way to go to becoming that all efficient and no-procrastination kind of person, but.. all the best?(:

More importantly, design with excitement. (: Even though you know you are gonna get licked before you start, you start anyway. Guess who said that.

( @ 10:19 PM )

Rather ashamed that I've not been blogging regularly, even though holidays are here (and ending soon). I don't know why, but recently there's a lack of motivation somehow, and I've not been having a healthy lifestyle exactly either, even though holidays are supposed to correct that screwed up routine of mine in architecture.

Books wise...I don't think there's a lot of worthy reads that I've read as well. Going down the list, I've had The Last Lecture and the Gone series (Gone, Hunger, Lies, Plague, Fear, and awaiting the last book Light to come out in 2013). Ha ha okay, maybe 6 books aren't that bad. Going through architecture books now but I doubt that I can finish them when the sem starts.

What's happening to me ):

I keep reminding myself that a life unrecorded is a life unworthy of living. Hopefully I'll pick up that momentum to continue updates on this little page (: Oh right. Baking has been consistent of course. Frivolous me. Hah.
