11 months of joy

 My little niece is almost 1 year old. I have watched her learn how to turn, sit up, crawl, blabber nonsense, laugh, charm strangers with her smile, hold her milk bottle, pull our hair, walk with our help and many more. She is growing every single day, so quickly. While I am typing this, little enen is trying to climb up my bed...ohmy!

I am back to this space, or I am not. We will see :)

HCRAM

The month of March.

The month passed by rather quickly. Done with recess week and I'm now into week 8 of school.


Poor appetite. Insomnia. Carelessness. I'm not exactly in my best form which kinda explains this post at such an odd hour. Half an hour ago, my emotions were all over the place. Sobbing. Feeling frustrated. But hey, don't worry, I'm fine.

Maybe a hug now would help. Anyone?

Hey,

I'm afraid. Maybe afraid isn't the right word but that uncertainty is there.

The empty feeling in me; what have I done with my life so far. I feel unaccomplished at this stage and feeling like a lost sheep. I really need to sit down and spent some time thinking about what I want to do in life. Year 2 Semester 2, I'm just blindly following the university path set for me; living by the days. I am a procrastinator and that unfriendly someone in school. Well, I still do my work and say hi to peeps but I guess I lost...that passion.

Got to make my time and resources spent here and now wisely. 4 whole years and a whole sum of money is so not for what I am doing with my life now. Come on Joanne!

I'll be right back.

Say Something

Weekends. Work. 

By now, you probably figured out that I enjoy Surface Design classes. Here is my second post related to that and it is only semester 2 week 4. Hoho!

+ I'm clearly experimenting with my new phone. 

A post within a post. Something new for me. Not too bad, right? 

Oops, time for bed.  Goodnight! 

Life of a PD student

Got a new phone and here is a photo diary!
Another exciting day in school. Made prototypes with straw and did wood turning practices.

Oh, hello!

If you read my last post, remember how I was telling you about my hope to pick up photography again? That is gonna be difficult task for me. I wonder what went through my mind at that moment few days back. First, I've gotta get rid my YouTube addiction which started during the December break. All that vlogs, KBS variety shows, Tested, cooking channels and 'What to Watch' videos... oh my, the list to watch is never ending! Then, I have to deal with the gradually increasing workload through this ongoing semester. Year 2 Semester 2 Week 2 is almost ending, in a blink of an eye, whatever happened to the holidays.
AND really, I don't know who is still reading all these now; I disappeared for way too long.

Let's say you are actually reading this. Hello again! Thanks for coming back and I shall continue this post for you.

[Back on track]
Yes, you guessed it right! I did not pick up my DSLR (Actually, I did took some shoots for my sister's work but that is all.) but here are some wonderful pictures taken with my trusty phone.
This Semester, I am taking this module called Surface Design by the same professor I had for the fashion module I took the previous semester. (I know I lacked plenty of updates here. I will just assume you know me really well and is up to date with my life, my dear friend!) It is gonna be a costly mod but I hope the learning experience gonna be worth all that effort and $$. We are basically learning the different techniques for creating surfaces! The usage of fabric crayons and transprint ink today made me feel like a little kid all over again! With no grading on design, it is basically joy!

I had fun today so I thought I should share a little. This is just a random post on a random day with sudden urge to do something else.

I hope you enjoyed this update.
I might be back, or I might not.
Till then, have a great day!

*poof!*

It is definitely harder to manage this space with time. My passion for blogging vanished.
As you know, majority of my posts are photo-based. I used to enjoy photography at any given opportunity but now, it feels like an abandoned hobby. After I gave up photography as an area of study in school and took up product design, I kinda stop going for adventures with my camera. I told myself then, what was the point? With the clear lack of 'I-should-post-these-on-my-blog' photographs, I no longer feel the motivation to post anything at all.  Oh well, time to do something about that right?

Yep, I'm gonna pick up my DSLR and start over again.
I'll be back soon, I hope.

with you.

why.

emptiness

I feel drained.

today

Those thick angry marks on my notebook that left imprints on the next few pages.

Homesick.

2012

2012 had been good and bad.
So much happened. The long break after graduation. Getting a job & meeting tons of people. A level results, then not forgetting the endless worries I had trying to get into university after that. Orientation started, met people. Stayed in hall, 105 minutes away from home. Survived my first semester in ADM but it was enjoyable at the same time. Saw my brother getting married. & many many more. My life did change quite a bit; I was out of my comfort zone. However, those new experiences kept me going.
Twenty twelve taught me to be independent.

Even as I say goodbye to 2012, the memories are gonna stay.
You know what, I'm ready to welcome 2013.

 tonight.

'Not all wounds gush blood.'

Week 9

Firstly, I would like to apologize for the lack of updates here. I would be lying to say that nothing interesting has happened over the past month, in fact, there are far too many to mention here. If you were a friend of mine on facebook or followed me on Instagram, you would know what I am up to these days via all the pictures. It is now the beginning of week 9 in NTU, I have made new friends and learnt a lot from others. Joined band then quit it; guess it is time for a change. Joined an acapella group in hall; performed once so far and I'm loving it. School have been rather interesting. Blah blah...

I'm getting used to hall life but recently, I'm getting pretty tired of it with the large amount of events/activities going on each week. Nothing beats the feeling of being back in the east after an entire week spent in school; back to my comfort zone. At times, I miss the people from DMN and MJC so badly. I often wonder how they are doing right now while looking at their tweets/instagram post/facebook feed.

There are many more things happening: some good; some uncertain. However, one fact remains: I'm gonna graduate someday and I hope I do it right without regrets. 4 precious years, I'd better cherish it. Gotta get my priorities right quickly for there have been too many distractions recently. FOCUS.

I didn't plan for this post at all, so it is kinda strange how it ended with a motivation note for myself, haha! Nonetheless, that is pretty much all I have to say today. It isn't getting any earlier. Goodnight people :)

Night Festival 2012

Peranakan Museum + La Argentina

The experience was amazing even though it was freaking crowded during the performance.

So much happened over the past few weeks, university life has been exciting with a lot to look forward to everyday. Not bad :D
