1st april 2010


i finally have a not-much-of-a-break kind of break. tgi(g)f.

on thursday i had to leave school in the mid-afternoon, and then, i saw the freaking sky. it was clear blue, and i wish i could go to swim then. SIGH.

i think the main difference between jc and uni lives is that although both are really stressful, in uni the deadlines keep coming and you don't have time to time to emo, and then, suddenly the exams are over and you get a real holiday.

notes to self...
wct today, tomorrow design all-out, sunday wct and design. how formal should i wear for the final crit of the year?

this year's been just as crazy as last year. lotsa school work, the YOG competition, upcoming FOC preparations - will i have time for myself? i like to indulge in personal growth :x read 4 novels in 6 weeks of holiday, hope i've time to keep reading during the 3-month long break.

notes to self...
learn photoshop, autocad, rhino, 3dstudiomax? compose many songs - good or bad - to build stock library just in case. read lots of novels, current time news and architecture. if time permits, enrol in piano school.

a friend suggested (i think he said this on a whim) that i should just quit school and compose and sing. HAHA! I WISH I COULD DO THAT!! if only there would be growth opportunities (good salary raise) for that. who'd have the guts to quit school and have a normal, less worrysome life?

and then he mentioned rjc people have a tendency to buck against the norm (really?) e.g. kit chan, corrinne may, selena tan... haha. well, when i have kids i'll encourage them to do just that.

happier things (just for self to remember as the days go by):

kent ridge production - went there just to watch and support abovesaid friend who's the set designer (haha). the first half songs were good! i wish i could compose like that. (to self: make time for composing songs for future productions... hm, i don't know where to find that, though).

IMOGEN HEAP LIVE!!!!!! it was supposed to be a post-submission treat for me, but the ticket
was too costly($111!!) to throw away. and thankfully, i didn't forego my seat. she's so....

T_T

the picture above's the set design, taken with my lousy mobile phone. the recording below (here's a little treat) is also recorded with my phone. damn, should have brought along my camera in case. everyone was recording the show like no one's business - what happened to IP rights?

video

ah, her songs are so good! and she's a wonderful person, it seems, as well!

ok, back to work. very worried about my grades...
