in any case, the topmost photo should have been something that happened even before my last post in July 2014 -- talk about being lazy/forgetful haha! anyway, I'm truly a Japanese pop culture fan, and it wouldn't kill to go there a third time for the sakuras, no?

also, so ends China Design Studio, surprisingly on an okay note. Despite only having three people as compared to the usual 8 or 9, I think we did a fairly good job as a team. Thank you lovely people for the overnight sessions in various places, and I also won't forget the whole-studio-got-into-a-car-accident ordeal. Thank god that everyone was still safe, and the fact that we still had to show up to studio an hour later was still kind of amusing.

and then we almost had a full attendance Vongola outing in melaka this July! all except for jingyi and chooyi. present making is getting harder by the year (haha), but I'm pretty glad that I managed to complete our mafia pendants that really made us look like one (: I'd like to think that such small gestures are sometimes things that subtly bonds us, and would probably continue doing so if I still have the time and resources.

June also flew by rather quickly, but I'm glad I got to spend lots of time with mummy before July kicked in and the reality of dissertation sinks in. right, now's the dissertation rush period, and there's this subtle stress that I can't shake off knowing that there are people actually waiting to read what I'm going to write. then there's our last year as an architecture student (finally), two more torturous semesters as a Masters student, before we are truly out in the working force. We are starting in one more month to be precise -- can the holidays get any shorter? Despite taking so many graduation shoots (right, another thing that I have yet to update since I have yet to sync my phone for the photos), a part of me deep inside screams that this girl isn't ready for graduation.

that aside, I seem to be picking up badminton, what with the various groups of friends booking slots usually and all. also dyed my hair a very light blonde (of which I predict will be hard to maintain seeing that black roots are already showing up), lil disappointed with the fact that they didn't have much of the lavender-pink shade I wanted. watched a bunch of short animes in the holidays (some with mum) such that I am amazed myself (I guess some of the more memorable ones as Kamisama Hajimemashita, Vampire Knight, Kyoukai no Kanata), but still haven't touched things like Code Geass or Attack on Titans that friends kept recommending me. certain choices also reminded me on my biasness for certain animation styles and music (I think it's pure genius how they slipped Daisy in at always the right time in KnK)

and now it's high time I end this, to go back to my dissertation on age-integration. on hindsight, I really do hope and think that it is possible for us to have intergenerational shared-sites in schools in the future. I mean, I was always a family person to begin with :'D
