more o 3D

Sorry for d constant whinning here, ppl~ It's like the only place I can go on and on about something... In the real world everyone (and I mean EVERYONE, including the people at home) has their own homework problems.

11.02pm
I just want to draw a door. And put it in the wall. Is it THAT hard?!?!!
-- 1 hour since I started drawing the door....

11.10pm
I got my hole for the door!! HOORAY!!

11.14pm
WHY does my door only have a frame on one side?!!

11.45pm
BREAK!!

12.15am
Might as well go to bed...
*sets alarm for 6.30am

1.15am
Falls asleep thinking bout model

..... the Next day
9.15am
*jumps out o bed* Shucks my model!!

10.20am
FINISHES DOOR AND GROUND FLOOR WALLS!!!!! *skips around in excitement*

10.30am
Starting on windows next =(

wish i didnt have to say this...

......I'm giving up on Mesiniaga for the mo. For someone who has not quite grasped the ropes o 3d modeling softwares... it really is too much. Doing some normal old bungalow instead.

It feels like a defeat that I've not even got the building off the ground... Got stuck at the first step >> tracing the plan! Is the building too complicated or what =(

Missed church this morning cuz I couldn't get up on time then wanted to spend more time figuring out 3dmax. But going for some church opening thing (St. Thomas Moore Church, somewhere subang area) later~ Spending time w the Big-Guy-up-there is a Must on Sundays.

Sigh.

Back to work.

brain overload!

.......on d first day o classes. probably due to me having turned into a couch potato during d sem break.

just wrapped up d search for d first studio project, space analysis.
have yet to go to our tutor to get it approved.

a word on my timetable: b careful what you wish for. it just might come true.

ive got a near perfect timetable. most o my classes finish well before evening (which means i can safely take public transport to and from school), and my one full day (8am to 10.30pm!) is on friday. plenty o time to rest + no submission pressure during d weekend.

on d downside? no close friends in class.
i was actually thinking o taking a different class so that i get to mix w other ppl? now i'd b facing a whole class o strangers/classmates ive not spoken more than 10 words to.

but all in, sem 3 has gone off w quite a good start.
i even remembered to bring some cash for my club claims, and didnt mess up my club things.
full power all d way, sarah! *smiles*

new sem resolutions

d whole point o making resolutions is to break them. so says Garfield.
but NO! im not Garfield=.=, though i enjoy d bullying o his owner. Arnold or whatzhizname.

sem starts day after tmr!
will b in Year 2 Sem 3. felt so inferior over those newbies who have just arrived (w their parents) to get their student IDs.
haha~

just saw my timetable on d portal. it's really nuts!
like, 8am classes + 5 hour breaks for one group, and 6-10pm classes for another.
heavens forbid that i end up in both groups!
*breathe in, breathe out*

Ju-ee was telling me about my attitude that day.
he said more positivity is in order.
really??
i guess i AM turning cynical. oh no~~~ d old spinster attitude.
NO WAY! im only 19 and 2 mths!
so that's my first new sem resolution:

1. be POSITIVE and stay that way.

2. do all my work on time.

3. NO late submissions.

4. STOP whinning.

5. always, no matter how tired i am, do my BEST.

6. balance social, club and academic activities.

a note about no.6, have i mentioned that im d treasurer (for d past year, izzit time to resign?) for a club my friend created? so anyway i believe i do have enough time PROVIDED i procrastinate and slouch around less.

7. always believe in myself. and d big guy up there =)



here's to sarah keeping all her resolutions!
*cheers!* i dont drink, but this looks like a good time for a beer. anyone join me?




ps confirmed lil ball o fur will b called crescendo.

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'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

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??

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.
