i'm okay

broke up w d would-be bf 2 days ago,
and all my hamster babies (all 6 o them!) died.

surprisingly im coping quite well!
not falling apart or even feeling sorry for myself...





go on being strong, sarah.
you know there are ppl who love you~
you can do it =)

studio!

it's d day before final presentation!
and ive done NOTHING!

to-do:
finish tracing my drawings
scan drawings
make 2xA1 storyboards
print storyboards
fix model
studio portfolio
comp app portfolio
bcon portfolio
print portfolios
SLEEP
prep for presentation

well
d possibility o me finishing all that in what's left o today is....
nil T.T

something has to go... and im hoping that d something will not affect my grades.

*pathetic*

i knew them ^^

was blog-hopping just now,
visited crystal and shoko's blogs~

it's been AGES since i last saw them.
or even talked to them.
but it's great to know that they've been keeping well.

crystal was my primary school bestie.
we wrote notes and letters to each other,
putting into words what we could not say out loud..
family, school, boys (cant imagine what we had to do w boys at tht age ><) etc, there was nothing we did not share w each other.
it was a great friendship.
to d 10 to 12-year-old sarah, she was one o d most important persons in my life.

shoko was my high school senior.
not sure if we could b counted as friends,
cuz i was (and still a weeny bit) *extremely* in awe and afraid o her.
you could say there was only one other person in d entire school whom i would go out o my way to avoid,
rest assured that d other was NOT my head mistress.

i admire (still do!) both crystal and shoko a lot.
for me, i could never match d cheery outlook crystal has on life.
it's like, even if life goes wrong for her, at d end o d day she still thinks it's beautiful.
shoko, on d other hand... was just a great head prefect, hostel disciplinarion and senior to all o us.
like i said, i would turn and walk d other way whenever i saw her, but there were several instances when i couldnt help but admire her for her fairness, adherence to rules and common sense.
all o which i, sadly, lack.
as a prefect, i should but did not have d courage to "go for" every rule-breaker...




well.
enough biographing.

instead o d studying i promised myself (what, 3 days ago?)
what i did today was
eat, watch CSI, read harry potter, watch CSI, watch mythbusters, watch CSI, read harry potter, eat, sleep
*geesh*
i thought there was a limit to procrastination =.=



signing off~

i'm feeling studious

wait. is that studio-us or studi-ous?
finals is next week and final studio presentation is d week after.
hmm...

ever since i completed one o my homework on d DAY BEFORE submission (actually it was by 5am on submission day, but i stayed up till i finished so it doesnt count =p)
i've been feeling that work isnt so very hard after all.
though, *sigh*, it's a lil late in d sem to b feeling that ><.

i admit that i've been slacking too much.
WAY too much.
i've been getting mostly C's throughout d sem, and it's all my fault.
haiz~
for some reason i kept forgetting about my scholarship + d TERMS tht came w me paying half fees.
90% attendance and an average o 60.
HOW COULD I MANAGE THAT NOW??!!

oh well.
better late than never.
gnna start studying for my finals... now!
bcon, culture & ESD ---> here i come!!
studio and comp app, for which there are no final exams... can just go and drown themselves T.T

wedding~

What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.
天主所結合的，人不能拆散。
(mathhew 19:6)

attended a church wedding as a pianist this afternoon.
i love this passage from d bible~
like d priest said, there can b no U-turns in a marriage.
it's sounds quite daunting, huh?

wishing劭全&思穎all d best in their marriage
白首偕老or whatever they say to newly weds.
still haven't brushed up on my "formal phrases" yet XP


a gift from d newly-weds ^^

dear all

i miss you.
i know it's hard to believe that when i don't even bother to pick up d phone, or email or even scribble on your fb walls,
but i do. really~

i guess it's d "i miss spring" or "i miss early mornings" kind o feeling...

pls forgive me, dears,
for ignoring you for d duration o my "end o sem aka brain is filled w all things archi" mode,
in which i pretend there isn't a world outside o taylor's lakeside campus and Bsc Archi...

it's one o my "lazy to b nice" times...
i don't want to catch up half-heartedly, so i don't at all.




wait for me, k?


i love you all <3



hugs and kisses~

final studio project

i knew, as soon as i heard that this would b a 7-week project,
that it would not be easy balancing my time.
and it wasn't.
i always work on my other subjects just because their submission dates were earlier.
=(


d end o sem approaches and all but one o my final submissions are over.
now is d time to regret all i've not done during d sem..
which was, do my design on time and go for tutorials.
dear all, NEVER skip your tutorials.
><
lectures, on d other hand, are skip-able once in a while when there're submissions.
but i'm striving for full attendance next sem.
oh well, too late for that now.


i really dislike final presentations.
it gives me a sinking feeling every time i think about it.
and judging by d rate my work is going, i kinda think sarah on presentation day would be
zombie-ish from d lack o sleep
sick and tired o her design, but has to crap about it
and she will throw her drawings and model under her bed as soon as she gets home.
then forget all about it for a day or two.


sigh~~



it should NOT b like this.





ps happy bday to andrea siow (7-11)~ we were, are and will still be friends =)

it's been too long....

since i last blogged... anywhere.
still, it's been some time since i had d time or mood to.

it's d last month for this sem, which means plenty o
final assignments
final presentations
final exams
and sighs o "why didn't I...?"

like d facebook event "NATIONAL HUG AN ARCHI STUDENT" says,
i'm o an opinion that final presentations are much more nerve-racking than final exams.
but i prefer it that way.
although i kinda do both at d last minute...
i still prefer projects that take every tear, sweat and brain cell you spend into account.
instead o studying something that might or might not come out/have any future use.





haiz.

back to another final assignment---> ARCHI CULTURE & HISTORY.
building typology: Thai Buddhist temples

wat??


sarah

pre-relationship

i think i promised myself not to do "relationship-blogging" until after something is confirmed (either this or that).
but i couldnt resist writing a spoiler
mayb cuz i feel like i have to mark this down.

what would it be, being in a "couples" relationship?
we wouldn't be like marcus, who can always be found "at bukit jalil" (gf studies in IMU, lives in bkt j) when he is MIA; becuz we're in d same class;
nor would we be like d couple fr my sem 1 m'sian studies class, who were glued together all day; becuz i can't imagine myself being glued to a boy.

so what would it be like?
or rather, how much difference would it be from now?
we already lunch together almost every day, we talk every chance we get.
he buys me lunch, whereas i wake him up for class.






he gets till my birthday to tell me what he decides.



till then~

what a lame post

what to blog about?
life's been boring...
a repetition o assignments and oops-i-fell-asleep's =(
another submission today, building construction.
and yet one more submission next tues, archi culture & history.
life is measured by project due dates...

PMR starts today!
wishing all my juniors d best in their exams!





taking my dad's age-old advice:
when you've got nothing nice to say
dont say anything.

sarah is alive =)

another submission over and done with!
so glad to be... ALIVE!!


took this on d terrenganu beach while on holiday during mid-sem break.
bro and i were walking on d beach while holding d umbrellas.

studio task 2

after my last post i really did die...
and let me tell you tht it wasnt a fun experience.

so tuesday night i stayed up till 6am to do my work,
and i forgot to go to sleep.
when i finally remembered and wanted to sleep,
it was daylight and my piano student coming soon O.O
so i taught class and went off to school~

skipped autocad class (sorry mr charles!! i didnt mean to keep skipping your classes! T.T)
and started doing non stop studio work.

d next break i had after d hour-long dinner (thx to my friends for persuading me to eat) was
early d following morn (thurs) when i blacked out for 15 min.

2 nights w/o sleep
i didnt know i could do that.

my thx to tham for staying in d studio w me till after presentation,
evan and awyong for helping me w my work, even after they've done theirs,
and huiwei and cheehuey for their emotional support=)


mom said it looked like a chicken coop.
wt*
><"


sarah

i'm dyyyyyyyyiiiiiiiinnnnnnnnggggg

seriously.
not that i've been doing all-nighters, or even stayed up for any amount o nights.
i'm just desperate.

how much more to go?
urgh.
i dont even want to think about that.

my friend kept reminding me to hurry up,
lest i call at 6am on d day o submission and cry.

purleezzzz,
i only cried once (to public knowledge-- wait, it's not even public. does one person count?) in d entire last sem.
and that wasnt becuz i couldnt finish.
more cuz i was in shock that i actually overestimated myself.



right.
back to work.

stop panic-ing, sarah.
STOP.

dilemma

now see this.
i really want to finish my work.. been bitten by the "work bug".
felt like switching off d rest o d world till submission --> this friday.

unfortunately
one o my besties is leaving for UK this week,
and she's invited me to have dinner w her tmr after class.

apart from d hustle o having to hitch a ride--KTM--walk--KTM--LRT--ask d muddies to pick me up,
i'm just reluctant to budge from my routine.

urgh~~~~
i thought youngsters are supposed to love gallivanting around.
shudder to think how i would be like, in a few years time,
probably confined all my socializing to the online kind =.=

blog title

btw, just to explain a bit about the title for the blog.
was bitten by a hilary duff @ lizzie mcguire and princess diaries bug a few days ago,
and thus have been digging thru youtube to look for *great* songs

WHY NOT
WHAT DREAMS ARE MADE OF
CATCH A FALLING STAR
MIRACLES HAPPEN (WHEN YOU BELIEVE)

are my absolute favs =)

and thus the title:
"catch a falling star and put it in your pocket
NEVER LET IT FADE AWAY"

cheers~

new blog

so today's d day o creation.
been wanting to create a new blog for some time now =)

*bring out d champange*
