Bye bye 4th year

Congratulation to the 5th year senior who've just finished their final presentation...you guys are graduate architect now and its my turn to think what should I undertake for my dissertation. Next year will be my final year in uni, hopefully everything could be proceeded smoothly. Sometimes I couldnt believe that I have been studying architecture for 5 years. I think my secondary school teacher would never expect that a rebellious student like me would become an architect...

I feel much more better now..actually it's nothing important...I just feel a bit embarassed for being so emo, that's all. she's still my good friend and I'll be more happy in this way I think.....life is full of up and down, I'll make it through...

My first....

When Jenny gone...I could hardly feel the pain on my chest, actually I couldnt feel anything at that time other than the feeling of dying. My mind was blank and my body was souless. I still remember the last word she said to me. I was holding her left hand and it was very cold. She was asking me wheather she looks terrible, I told her she was the most beautiful girl that I've ever seen. I kissed her on her hand and begged her to be tough...She was too weak to talk so I moved my head closely to her lips so that I can clearly hear what she said. She said to me :" I love you zhu zhu, you have to be brave, promise me.." "I love you too bibi, I promise.." I replied her. She then kissed me on my cheek and tears were dropping from her eyes..after that she said sorry and thank you to her parents and her sister. I wanted to hug her but the doctors and nurses don't allow me to...so I held her hand until her last breath...

I was 18, and I'm 24 now..we were together for 3 months...

Thanks Sk, Ck, Kum, Sean and Jien Tink for accompanying me in that difficult period..you guys are really great..

too bad I was dumped by girls twice after that....when I was 20 and 21...none of the relationships could last more than 3 months. There were few girls that I've fallen in love after that but none of them worked out as well. The pain on my chest this time was the worst compared to before...maybe because in the past few years I didn't allow myself to fall in love easily, so this time I have given too much probably??

.....I dun wanna talk......I just wanna be alone.......therefore I'll walk away....

.......

When heart is still in pain...you'll talk less....because you have no idea what you should talk about...the mind is blank most of the time.....nevertheless only time can heal this wound which you have created by yourself.

your stories, my stories and his/her stories

Everything in this world has the stories of their own...you have your stories, I have mine, even a tree has its stories. What makes a story worth to be remembered? I think it would be the story that is shared by people and being privatised by them that makes it different from others. People was asking me, why do I like to take pictures? I think it is because I like to tell stories through my lenses. All pictures tell stories and it is not merely the images itself but also the stories of the photographer...another funny thing that I like about photography is that everyone has a totally different understanding and observation on the picture that they've seen...isn't that interesting?
































I never touch up these pics with photoshop....

Gonna go home in 1 week time and I have decided to leave the "baggage" in Launie and hopefully a different life could be taking place when I go back home...

I came across this article which posted by my friend on facebook...

“Architecture students aren’t like other students,” Allen says. “They’ve always worked a damned sight harder. You won’t find them living up to the student stereotype. “Hundred-hour weeks are quite normal,” Allen says. “Flatmates never get to see them. They’re strangers in their own home because they’re here working till dawn day after day.”

It has to be like that, she adds. “Architecture is an immensely broad subject. It straddles arts and sciences. You have to learn the past 200 years of knowledge about building, cities, landscapes, sociology. And you have to have designed — and come up with the brief and the site for — five or six buildings by the time you leave, right down to the smallest detail. And then you’ve got to learn actually how to be an architect — the law, the business, the contracts, running a team. You just can’t do it in less than seven intense years.”
