Beauty & The Beast

Hello. The karaoke session last night with my H.D colleagues was fantastic !

I ended school at 5. Had 5 hours to kill before I met them at K-BOX at Cineleisure so I killed time by attending SPSU's AGM with Shira and Az, since they were also going and they dragged me along. Hung out with Ash, Afiq and some of the SMA peeps at the taxi stand there. Train-ed all the way to Pasir Ris with Afiq just to kill time while chit-chatting and doing our catching up after the holidays at the same time before bouncing back to Somerset to meet the H.D peeps there.

During the karaoke session, we ate, sang and even danced to some stupid songs like Nobody and Spice Up Your Life. Hahaha. It was fun !

Oh. New assignment released. Combine that with my AutoCAD, which I'm still doing, and I've got tons of stuffs to do. The difference now is that I know I can do it.

After slogging so hard at work for this whole week, I can finally take a break and get some well-deserved rest. For a week before I continue working again this coming Saturday. Like I said. I have a new commitment, which is work. Don't work = NO money = NO driving license/iPod classic/SINGFEST Tickets

To all those out there who are working your asses off in the F & B industry, give yourselves a pat on the back. No. Give yourselves a round of applause. Or ten. Why ?

BECAUSE THE F & B INDUSTRY IS THE TOUGHEST SON-OF-A-BITCH INDUSTRY TO WORK IN. Agreed Zakk ?

Don't believe me ? Ask any of your close friends who are working in that industry. The customers, the tasks we are delegated, the rush hours, the fast paced, cutthroat environment, the immense workload. *shakes head*

But it has its rewards too. Once the pay comes in. You'll feel a tremendous sense of satisfaction. After slogging so hard and putting in your blood, sweat and tears, you finally get paid. The money is enough to make anyone scream. Well. Not really but you get what I mean.

Holiday assignments are not done. Ok. I lied. A little. I completed my portfolio and TOD journal entries. Just down to MATech ICE 2 and the AutoCAD drawings for IDS, which I've yet to do. Yay me ! I really have no time to do them. Oh wells. More work for me when school reopens then.

Yes. I don't deny that I'm still slightly shaken up by that huge blow up between me and 1 of my close friends. It's the first time in a really really long time that I was that angry. The last time I felt that way was wayyyyy back when I was 15. I quote her words. 'Didn't expect it to be this severe between me and 1 of my close friends'. Oh well. We have to try and put it behind us.

On a better note. SINGFEST 2010 is AROUND THE CORNER ! $175 for tickets ! The likes of Katy Perry, 30 Seconds to Mars and much more will be here ! WEE ! Gonna save money for that man ! Been wanting to go for ages !

It's about time I learn to shut up.
It's about time I learn to refrain from being opinionated.
It's about time I keep my comments to myself.
It's about time I prevent myself from being brutally honest.
But sadly, the very things that I wanna stop doing are the very same qualities that define who I am as an individual.
MAYBE I have other traits. The keyword here is 'MAYBE'. Good traits that are me. But I don't know what my good traits are cuz when I look in the mirror each day, these are the traits that I see. *points above*

And as for my ego. Well. Lets just say that I still haven't forgiven that filthy bitch. Yes. People keep telling me to let go of that incident cuz it's been 3 WHOLESOME FREAKING YEARS since that skank took the liberty of dragging my name through the mud, ruining my close friendships with the people around me, backstabbing me and even going so far as to use my name to cover up her own white ass for what SHE had done. And to think that that whore used to be my best friend back then. So much for 'best friends'. *flashes the middle finger* So now tell me. Would YOU ever forgive someone and forget all these incidents easily if it were to happen to you one day ? (:

Hello. I won't have much time to blog nowadays.

Cuz I'll be busy working for the whole of this week. I don't mind the fact that I'm spamming work like nobody's business cuz at least I know I'm not wasting my time lepaking at void decks, crooning away like those typical matreps who have no future do. At least I'm making full use of my time to earn money legally. (:

When my salary comes in, I'm gonna pay off my debts to my granny and my bro, do my PDL, book my prac for my driving license and save the rest for future practical lessons, for materials for my assignments and for my 160GB iPod classic. FUCKJYEAH!

Ok. It's officially the last week of the holidays. School reopens next week.

I'm worried when school reopens. Why ? Cuz I have a brand new commitment which is W.O.R.K.

I was already doing fairly well back in Term 1 WITHOUT working. Did my assignments properly with my heart, soul and effort and produced better quality works as compared to my previous year's assignments. Spent almost all my free time chionging at the very start and still managed to fit in some leisure and entertainment time in between.

However, now that I'm gonna continue working on Saturdays ONLY during the term when school reopens next week, I don't know whether I'll be able to do fairly well again or whether I'll end up crashing and burning and pulling all my hair out due to stress.

I might have found a solution. I will put in the same amount of heart, soul and effort into each and every single one of my assignments, that I put in back in Term 1, if not more so. Do my very best to finish up Monday's and Tuesday's assignments PROPERLY by Wednesday, seeing as I have no school on Wednesdays. Do my very best to finish up my Thursday's and Friday's assignments PROPERLY on Friday BEFORE I head down to RP in the evening for my dance session. If I can't finish it up by then, I'll continue doing it at RP on Friday and after I end work on Saturday night and will ton throughout the night till Sunday comes and go if I have to, just to ensure that I can finish up my assignments on time with the very same quality that I produced back in Term 1, if not better.

It's gonna be a struggle, having to juggle school, assignments, family, friends, dance and work but I know I can do it.

Things are going to be different when school reopens, just like how things changed when school started in April. (:

Just as the title suggested. Why ? Simple.

My god-brother's older brother had helped me to not only unlock my iPhone but jailbroken it as well so that I can download apps and put in more stuff. He did it on his laptop.

I went back home. Plugged in my iPhone to my laptop. My iTunes software automatically began deleting off the applications and restored my iPhone back to its default factory settings again. And as a result, my iPhone is locked yet again. Tsk. And there I was feeling all happy, thinking that I had a temporary iPod to blast music on till I get my own iPod classic.

I'm learning to unlock my iPhone by myself by watching YouTube videos and googling websites but it's hard ! Hopefully, my god-brother and his older brother can teach me the ropes when they are free so I can do it by myself the next time round.

Anyways. The last week of the holidays are next week. I'm gonna spam working. At least I will have some source of income to financially support myself and my driving license when school reopens as I don't wanna ask my dad for money if I can help it, as he has his own financial burdens to bear without me adding onto them. It's better that I work rather than I waste my time doing nothing and rotting at home and getting fat by stuffing myself with food. Wait. Being fat is a good thing. I WANNA BE FAT ! ^^

Helllooooooo !

Lately. I don't see a point in blogging. Why ? Cuz it's not like I have any readers. Besides, my blog is just a place for me to rant ! But I won't be deleting my blog. Heck no ! It's full of memories. Both good and bad.

Anyway. The weather is so cold which is THE most perfect weather to sleep in. Sadly, I can't cuz I'm working later on in the evening and I have to finish up my TOD and MATech assignments before work.

And so nothing much happened over the week. Considering the fact that I only went to school on 1 day last week, being last Monday, it's considered perfectly normal. ^^

*Don't give me that tut-tut-tut sound + the finger ! You wanna wake up early in the morning and travel for an hour to school just to listen to someone's presentation and for a half an hour debrief ? TSK !*

I started working back again. Fuckjyeahmoney! This time round. I'm gonna motivate myself to work as hard as I can in not only school but in my workplace as well. Cuz once the money comes rolling in, I can use it to pay off my debts, pay for my driving license (practicals, TP) and get myself either an iTouch, a RED iPod Nano or a 160GB iPod classic ! Still considering which one to get though and consulting my younger brother didn't really help me not cuz he wasn't of much help but cuz he was trying to tell me the pros and cons of each and I wanted all of them if possible. Tsk.

Oh yeah. I enrolled for my FTT already. That's the best part. The sad part ? It's on the 17th of August. Tsk. So long right ! Urgh ! Nevermind. Save money, make my PDL and go for practical lessons while waiting. Awesome or what ? ^^

Ok. I think it's about time I finally get started on TOD & MATech. I've been enjoying and procastinating for far too long. IDS yet to be done and with no site measurements, I'm gonna be dead.

BYE !

Hello ! Nothing much to blog about really.

Friday. L4D2 Day as per normal.

Saturday was the Freshmen Orientation Reunion at Sentosa. Followed by dinner-cum-slacking time at Vivocity's Sky Park. Partied at DXO all night long with the DXO kids.

Sunday. Arrived back home at 10 in the morning. Washed my face and went straight to bed.

Today I had my critique session. Surprisingly, despite the face that I was so nervous that I felt like as though my balls were in my throat, my crit session went positively well. The lecturers said that my drawings were too random, my MATech detail drawings were better than my IDS ones, as my MATech detail drawings were more detailed in terms of joints and connections between modules and how it's connected to its site, my annotations were good and clear and they also commented, saying that my MODEL WAS BETTER THAN MY DRAWINGS, which is like a FIRST ! Woots ! Cuz I normally struggle when it comes to doing models, so having Elaine and Cindy tell me that really made me smile. Elaine also told me that I've come a long way and that although my current model isn't exactly the best, it's better comparing to my other models and that I should keep on trying hard, which I will so continue to do !

People were right. After slogging hard for a few weeks, where I stayed back in the studio till 11+ at night with the DID gang just to finish up my assignments, all the hard efforts paid off. Positive reviews, constructive feedback, better looking model. And it's all thanks to the Year 1s, Aliff, Ikin, Hanah, Rina, Jen, Az, Brandon, Lester and Trina. Seeing the Year 1s chionging their asses off for their assignments and producing really beautiful works with their excellent workmanship really inspired me to do the same. Seeing how hard Aliff, Ikin, Hanah, Rina, Jen, Az, Brandon and Trina are working to finish up their assignments, where most of them stayed back in the studio till late at night just to finish it up encouraged and motivated me to do the same. Thanks guys !
