329 : Shoes  Clockwise from top right, Lloyd's (2007), Adidas (2007), Crocs(2010), and Puma (2009). Insanity percentage proportionate to amount shoe blush. I'm gonna be so well equipped for this coming CNY celebrations. One shoe for each occasion. Weddings, beach party, shopping, water sports, buying lunch from a nearby kopitiam. Oh yes, grandma's gonna be so pleased = fatter ang pao = more shoes.

Looking back, i can't remember how i even picked archi as my course of choice as i had not started journalling/blogging to mark down the important events that happened. I think it had something to do with JJC booting me to arts stream and i turned to poly for salvation, and by some twist of fate i landed in an arts course. Ah the irony. My younger cousin from m'sia had the lucky opportunity to consult me for advice on "what's next", after she had finished her SPM or our 'o' level equivalent . She had a mild interest in design, in which she had expressed to her parents before she got her results. That immediately raised the red flag on her mom's mind and almost instantly gave my mom a call. To not my surprised, i was asked to give the young lady a brief on what's design and the prospects and how studying it is gonna be like... and to her slight surprised, she realised it was a tad similar to what she had been doing when she had to submit her art project a year back, "Working thru the night". In the end, i manage to talk her into following her parent's decisions and be a good girl. She should just follow in her dad's footsteps and become a great lawyer. Leave the not so "worthy" and "no prospect" stuff like being a designer to not so zai people like us.

November December was a pretty much slacking off period for myself, didn't do too much sketching either... I'm heading back to my 2nd home in about a few more minutes time, i can't wait to see the smiles on all those good hardworking people i came to be familiar with the past 1 year in my workplace. Hmm, instead of calling it 'kamp' or '2nd home', lets just call that place the shire from here on out. Why that name ? First thing that came into my mind was that, the place is filled with small, happy, some grumpy and insignificant people. Yeah, that includes me. Had a blast of a time these 3 days of extended holidays at home/outside/virtualand. Did so many things. At times, we instinctively look for ways of fulfilment, ways to keep ourselves busies. You know its time, when all of a sudden out pops the word "sian" or "tsuman"... And we would normally do something about it. I find it sad that there are some people who simply sleep their days away because they can't find themselves something to do. We're already sleeping 1/3 of our lives away, and by the time we're 60, 20 years spent in dreamland. Oh deary. In this coming year, despite all the big hoo haa of climate change, financial meltdowns and political upheavals going about in other parts of the world, i seem to smell a hint of what's left of humanity left in us. At least i'm being a little more of an optimist than i really am. Hmm seems that i am a bit brainwashed after some korean secret agent drama, they tend to be really optimistic about life too, since they have all the intelligence in their office and they most probably feel that they are in control of shit... Looking at my new year resolution of last year.... Holy crap ! Korean agents took away an aerial photo of the shire that i posted last year (post 272). What's the coincidence. Haha, seems like the ahmi have prying eyes more powderful than all of us can imagine... there was one part in the drama in which the head of security ordered some zai IT lady to filter through the to look for "unofficial info" and rumors regarding some assassination blah blah blah. Seems like publicly available photos are not safe after all. I wondered if the ahmi Removed the link from that post to prevent men in Ah yes, new year resolution. Last year's theme was "being happy" Sure enough, none of that happened, but i did consciously work hard for that to happen, and it didn't. Its tsurai to remain happy in the ahmi because, haha we all know the reason why. So for this year, to remain realistic and sane, i will not come out with a huge list of things that needs to be done or things to achieve and being detailed about all this, because fact remains life is unpredictable. But there is always a nice forecast of things to come : 2010 Outlook (AGE 22) JAN-JUNE : The last leg of my 1year10months stint in the shire. JULY : Wisdom tooth etc leave etc you name it. AUGUST-DEC : NUS here i come. Hmm when's the school break again ? A lot of people, ok wrong, children look forward to growing taller, older, doing more things. I think i now realise, what sets adults and children apart. Its all about mentality and perspective of life. =) Labels: insignificant me 2010 |
