Another day in school. Thankfully a short week. I'm already in a holiday mood. =X CNY! Where's my drive? My drive to do work and to excel. It has abated somewhat. Nevertheless I just aim to finish my sketches by today. I keep my to-do list updated but things aren't coming off it. I need to push harder. After CNY I intend to head back to school ASAP and chiong finish more work. Must do it well and do it good to pull up my grades. Must have the standard!

One this that I am proud of, recently is this:
I can draw fucking straight lines. Now. The pic is blur but you get the general idea. They're straight. The construction lines. Also, I measured it. With a ruler. Fuck yea.

[UPDATE]
"guys are always selfish animal... they want the best for themselves, want people to understand them, etc..., but they never do the same to the girls...they never ever put themselves in girl's shoe and think and feel..."
Someone's status update. HAHAHA IRONIC. Have u ever considered that guys are actually wondering how best to understand and to treat a girl , but till now still have NO FUCKING CLUE? "they want the best for themselves, want people to understand them" Why this trait sounds so girl-like. U sure u have the correct sex not? Wake up your bloody idea.

Spent today in school doing my work. Finished up my sketches. Read up a bit on the compass for my history project. Didn't really feel like doing much today. Probably too much sketching. Need a break. Will hopefully resume tomorrow night and then next thing to clear is my handsets. Try to finish both by this week so I can work on the more tricky stuff. Need to get back in the mood!

Weather today is so nice and cold. Awesome for sleeping.

Yup overnighting in school again. But feeling kinda sleepy. A bit no purposeto overnight bactually. I was sketching and I could do thatin my room too. It's just more...spacious here? Also, practicing RC drifting! Feel like sleeping soon but it I sleep so early then what's the point of staying over?

Fairly unproductive day today. Went out, checked out design shops like we were supposed to as part of the class, went around Orchard, pick a product to read up on, and that's about it. Yet the whole day out passed by so fast. =( Came back realised I have quite a bit of work to do for hall still. Namely banners. Ugh. Looks like I'll have to start work tomorrow.

Sian. I think I finally exhausted the insane rush. Just nice it lasted for one week. I finished most of this weeks work but somehow I lostthe urge to push on and complete more. Maybe I'm finally tired of it. Haven't gotten than more than 5 hours of sleep a day this week. Feeling like doing something a little lighter. Don't have my sketching materials, and dowan to do handsets. Forgot to bring camera to take my handle shots. =(

Ugh. Everything is getting to me now. Sigh. Yesterday stayed back to do project. Then one of my group members who is quite the joker actually pissed off one of our friends. She has had a pretty high tolerance of him and last night he actually went over it. So she ended up pissed off and didn't want to do work. Then I was showering so I didn't know what happened so when I returned I didn't know if she was playing or not. =.=

Then she kept on refusing to work with us and then we are trying to persuade her to start. Until I myself got a little pissed off cos we were wasting time and it was BOTH of their fault. After a while she relented and we got to work but even now the 4th member in our grp also saw that I was a little ticked off. And I made it known that if he hadn't pissed her off we wouldn't have been wasting time.

Then today in sch was pretty ok. But I guess because I slept only 2 hours or so last night and cos of that fiasco...I wasn't in the best of moods. When my friend pointed out I had drawn one of my technical drawings wrongly and had to edit quite a bit of it I was damn pissed off at the whole thing and started swearing like nobody's business. Even my other friend also said I've changed. And I swear a lot more than before. Maybe I've changed I guess.

Feeling a bit stoned and tired today. Maybe it's because I haven't had more than 5 hours a sleep a day since Thursday. I got an entire laundry basket of clothes in hall yet to be washed. Also just lost half my lunch in the toilet. The toilet stank like shit. Literally. Somehow it just got to me and I said hello to lunch for the second time today. Presentation soon. I'd end with a motivational battle cry but I'm too tired to think of one.
---
Presentation over, it was quite ok I guess. Has some decent comments on it. =) Had a meeting till late, went for supper. Damn busy with a lot of stuff even after I returned to hall. =S I like my new seat though. Moved place! Haha. So awesome. Newfound privacy. Wanna watch webcast soon.

Feel so guilty. Did not do much work today. Only watched webcast. Was swamped by things once I got back. Tmr I must do up my technical drawings and SPS layout and also do my metamorphosis. Discuss CD rack too.

Um. Where do I start.Anyway, back in studio again. Everyone seems to be kind of stressed and ironically I'm still kinda positive, even considering the events of recent days. I suppose it's some sort of defense mechanism to ensure I don't lose my grip on reality although I'm not sue if I haven't been pushed over the edge already. I'm just throwing myself headlong into work to take my mind off things I guess. That's the only logical explanation for all this.

Yet, I don't want to be known as the guy who stays over the most and yet only produces average work. It must be exceptional. I must ensure everything is done to the best of my abilities. I wanna pull up my CAP more. Damn the lightbox is taken. I shall try to finish other stuff first. I wanna spend tonight working non-stop.

Here's an update:
Sketches
Foam Handsets
Ergonomics project 50%
Remotes project 90%
Part of History project
Part of Handle Project 50%
Get models for my metamorphosis
Metamorphosis drawings 33%
[Updated. CAA 240111 0249 AHA ANOTHER TO-DO LIST LOL]

Ok la not too bad. We totally didn't start on the History proj. Also annoyingly, my metamorphosis and handle are half done. Still got hall stuff to do. Ugh.

I overnighted alone. There were a couple of souls around but then they disappeared in the middle of the night lol. Sat by myself and finished my handsets. Then came back and picked up some Premiere Pro editing skills for one of my projects. [Glances at to-do list] Alright I've done all I can do as soon as possible, now time to start on other projects. That's how I motivate myself to do them, simply because there is nothing else to do. Back to work! That's my battle cry.

I also worked quite as bit on our remotes project today. Well sorta. one of us was working on my lappy and the other was shooting photos. I helped as best I could. One of my friends was fixing up his RC car. The professional drifting kind. SO COOL. He said he wanted friends to play but I said it was ex. Then he said he zhng some parts, so he has like half a car's worth of spare parts. If I bought the other half, I could get a whole car. SO COOL I WANNA I WANNA I WANNA. Imagine at night we can go outside studio and raceeeee! Wheeee. I wanna get started.

Finished most of our remotes project but not totally complete. My friend finished assembling his car and let me have a go. OMG SO FUN I was practicing driftinggggg. I think I have been too deprived of fun. But I was so excited to play with it. I think I really am going to buy that half a car to play with! So exciting. Yup. Definitely deprived.

Anyway headed home because my dad found the plastic toy ant I wanted. Been searching EVERYWHERE, high and low and in all the toy stores, party stores, departmental stores but NOTHING. Getting desperate, I asked my parents to try Rivervale Plaza. My dad didn't find any at Plaza, so I was a little disappointed but I didn't expect him to head down to Hougang, our old house, where he found the damn thing in some neighbourhood bookstore in the heartlands YAY. I totally love him. SO GRATEFUL. Even had a bat which my classmate was looking for. YAY. Can start on my project! :D

Let's see, quick blog. Doing work alone in studio tonight. Safari bed! ^^ However some dick slept on it le. WTF la. I haven slp on it someone slp le. I'm going to find a way to lock it up. Buy a lock and need some strap, needle and thread. Ok screw this. I'm in ID. [Comes back 15 mins later with a quick solution.] Breakable but I think the sight of it being locked up, even by such a simple mechanism will deter most people. Hah. Need a lock.

Ok today woke up late, came to sch to do project. Did alright I guess. Headed out for dinner but failed to find the toy ant I need for my project. =( Hope someone can spot one for me tomorrow. =( Came back and started on my handsets. 1:18am still early. Must finish it by today. Hmm. The politics interrelationships(not that serious yet) between people of this class is getting a tad...well, like basic human society. Fundamentally flawed. I guess we just have to accept it I guess. Unlike secondary school where all of us are still kiddish, we're all adults here. That makes things more tricky.
---
haha I am insane. Or at least obsessive. Designer are obsessive to a certain extent. I keep track of my work on a whiteboard in hall, a sticky note, and here I am cancelling out stuff in my list on my blog (see prev post)

When I got home today, my mum told me my cousin ends school at 4pm on Fridays. She asked me to hitch a ride with him if I'm coming home. She also said he drives to school everyday and he still gives tuition to 3 kids on the side. Well aren't you a lucky one?

Too bad we don't have a car. Too bad he's doing Business and I'm doing Industrial Design. Too bad I have 7 projects in the first week of school and also to contend with various tasks to do in hall. Too bad I have to overnight on the first week of school and spend my weekends in school doing up my group projects.

Too bad I have to sleep in a sleeping bag and with a small bolster on the dusty rubbish strewn floor of the studio simply for my work. Too bad I didn't bathe for 2 days or slept only 5 hours out of those two days. I'm sorry I can't take tuition of up to OMGCANYOUBELIEVEIT 3 kids on the side to supplement my income and have to ask you for money. I'm sorry I don't have time to do so and that all my time is spent on my various projects. What must I do for my work then? Is there any point in showing you my work when you don't know what I have gone through for it?

That's why I hardly go home or show anyone else other than my classmates what I have done.
---

Back home today. Last week I didn't even bother. No time. I'm about to get back to work. It's getting late and I have to head back to school tomorrow for a project meeting in the morning but I wanna get some work done today. Anyways, today woke up and went sch for project. They said 11. I KNEW they'd be late so I arrived at 1130. Guess what? They arrived at 1240 and 1pm respectively. -facepalm-

Wasn't much in the mood for work today. Dunno did our brains all self-impose some sort of study break for us. Got very little work done. Highly dissatisfied and disappointed. Just plain no mood. =( Even my massively expanded library of classical music failed to get me in the mood to do anything. I must make up for it. =\ Planned out all I must do. Some amendments to yesterday's plan.

I must motivate myself.

Because no one will.

I am responsible for my own work and learning.

I am responsible for pushing myself.

I am responsible for my grades.

I must do better than last sem.

I must put on maximum effort into everything that counts.

This must be my mantra.

Tomorrow I will head to school, and do a project meeting. I have to finish my sketches tonight and try to analyse my can opener. After the project meeting I will meet up with a few friends to shop for our models. I will head back to school to stay over. Stay over and do my foam handsets. Wake up on Saturday morning and do the remotes. Essentially a repeat of last week. That's good. Do the remotes all day [clicks sticky note]

and see what else left to finish by Sat night. Targeted goal is to finish the following:
Sketches
Foam Handsets
Ergonomics project
Remotes project 80%
Part of History project
Part of Handle Project 50%
Get models for my metamorphosis
Metamorphosis drawings 50%

8 items by Sat night. 2 days. No biggie. Nothing a night in studio can't solve. I want to finish my things ahead of time. My blog has essentially become a very handy tool to organise my thoughts and work and plan them out properly so I don't get swamped by work. By typing everything out I can keep track of all I must do and use the weekend to kill all of it!

Oh yes I need to buy Copic markers! Anyway. Here's what I did today if anyone is interested. I know it's been ages since I uploaded pics on my blog so I thought it'd be nice for a change. This is what I worked till 6am for. It's not super fantastic or whatever but at least I've improved after sem 1. All that sketching on buses during the holiday sorta helped I guess?

BUSY. Almost as fast as I am clearing things, new stuff keeps coming in. I suppose this is the cycle then. One down, one new one to go. Hall stuff has been put on the backburner while I do project after project. Intensively, this sem has been nearly 80% full of group projects, and some individual work. Somewhat fun, but also definitely time-consuming and requiring plenty of time and planning.

I suppose I should be lucky that we're all in this as a class and that I can choose my groups and that I am in groups with people I'm on good terms with. Not that I'm not bad terms with anyone, but there's some people...either not too familiar with, or you'd rather not work with. Today's temporary group...no chemistry. Not that they're bad but it just didn't feel right. So I bailed as soon as I could. Lol.

Anyway, here's my to-do list. Tomorrow got MKT lecture in the afternoon. Dropping by school in the morning with all my photographic equipment to take some new product shots. MAYBE go for lecture, and then head home too. Need to bring the remote controls back and a can opener out.

Friday morning, get to work on my Compass project, head to the National Library to find book and get info, then have a class outing at night to buy miniature models for our metamorphosis. Toy shopping! Somewhat.

Sat and Sun, work on my metaporphosis and also an analysis for my can opener handle. I'll try to finish my sketches by today if possible. I'm working on a banner and posters for hall as well. Also in the running, finish my foam handsets, and think of ideas for a CD rack. Now you see why I'm so busy all the time.

Sometimes I'm ok; sometimes I'm not.

School was fine. Had a fairly short class of History in the morning, and then lunch and make up class for studio in the afternoon. Didn't really have much appetite. My metamorphosis pairs and handle project have been chosen. I need to spend this weekend getting materials. Hopefully I can make it home this weekend. I didn't do so last weekend.

Also have more reworking of my projects to do. Will likely spend this weekend working again. Wonder if I might actually break in the use of my safari bed. The most luxurious sleeping environment you can get in studio. Yes, you heard that right. I actually got a safari bed to sleep in studio. $33 bucks a pop. Also need to spend money to buy markers for my sketching class. Work work. I wanna go shower and start on some work. Destress to my classical music. Copied a lot from my friend. Looking forward to it all. 99 songs. I now have 13 plus hours of classical music!

Sometimes I wonder is it worth it to be human at all?

School today was ok. Did our presentation. We did put in a lot of effort but the end result was...somewhat less spectacular than I expected. I dunno. Sigh. Anyways we have this week to rework it. Still got more hall stuff to work on. I need to prep a bit for tomorrow's classes too. Work work. Do up my ideas to show tomorrow after my History class and then also got sketching!

I'm not ready to give up yet but I can't help but feel sad. At least there's still time to go.

Cause when a heart breaks, no it don't breakeven.

I have so much work on my hands it's not even funny. I just have enough time to float around on the internet and rest before I delve right into another project again. So sad. I am more and more tempted to literally live in school.

Just a short update. Things have been really hectic with me rushing for projects this weekend. I spent it in school and in studio. Came back to studio after an outing at 12am. Worked till 5am. Woke up for a 10am meeting. They arrived at 12 or so. Dots. lol. Worked the whole day. Super tired. Went back and worked till 3am. Slept. Woke to go studio, meet my friend and visit flea market. Went back studio to work.

Spoke to her. She says it doesn't feel right. At least I get an answer? I'm not ready to give up yet. Determination is good. Came back, worked some more. Did the t-shirt design for CMB. Looking alright. See what they say. Wanna touch up the presentation slides for tomorrow a bit but it'll take a while. I'll leave it for tomorrow and hit school early. Yay school. I shall sleep soon. Life's a bit sad when I can't see any comments on my blog. Hmm. If you haven't seen the previous post with the long quote, go see it. I like it a lot.

I think my words sound very insane to the people reading. So is my life. So many things to do. FYI 7 projects in the first (one week) four days of school and also hall stuff to manage. Not to mention overnighting. Also I bought a safari bed. Yay me. More comfort in studio. Plus sleeping bag. I can't decide if that's sad or good. Post getting too long. Good night. More work. I keep pushing myself onward. Think of my CAP.

P.S. I finally got off my arse and plugged in the code for a proper comments section. So make use of it! I thought that you'd end up missing out on some comments, but what the heck. So here you go. It took some figuring out the bits but I managed to get it to work. Haven't been coding in YEARS. Damn spammers.

"Real isn't how you are made," said the Skin Horse. "It's a thing that happens to you. When a child loves you for a long, long time, not just to play with, but REALLY loves you, then you become Real." "Does it hurt?" asked the Rabbit. "Sometimes," said the Skin Horse, for he was always truthful. "When you are Real you don't mind being hurt." "Does it happen all at once, like being wound up," he asked, "or bit by bit?" "It doesn't happen all at once," said the Skin Horse. "You become. It takes a long time. That's why it doesn't happen often to people who break easily, or have sharp edges, or who have to be carefully kept. Generally, by the time you are Real, most of your hair has been loved off, and your eyes drop out and you get loose in your joints and very shabby. But these things... don't matter at all, because once you are Real you can't be ugly, except to people who don't understand."
- The Velveteen Rabbit

It's over, for now. But I ain't giving up fully yet.

Yesterday, a sudden realisation came to me. I was doing my laundry one fine day and then I realised: “Why are the washing machines so empty today?” Usually most of them are full and running with other people’s clothes.

And then it came to me. It was a Saturday night. Most of the people who can go home have done so.

Overnighted in studio last night. Went out the whole day and had to compensate for that. So came at around 12am and started working on my projects (after FBing). Finished at 5 or so. Slept till 10plus and then woke up to have breakfast. Waiting for the rest of my grp to show up soon. Even though they said 10 they're not here yet. =\

Just got back from a meeting. I have more stuff to add on to my sch workload. Gasp. Hopefully still manageable. I need to rework the banner a bit and also design a poster for Rockfest my 29th Jan. I got two weeks. Better start this weekend. Also make final edits to the website by then and also do up the final t-shirt design for our tshirt by this weekend. I'm pleased to report that my design has been amazingly well received (compared to the other stuff) so we are most likely using it. =) Have to get to work along with my sch stuff this weekend. Hmm.

Rest is essential. I feel so much better after yesterday night. I spoke to many people online and the chatting about various thing like school etc helped me to somewhat destress so that I went to school in lighter spirits today. I also felt much better than I felt in days; a lot more unburdened.

I think I functioned a lot more normally in school today, compared to the past few days. Also, I asked if I could group with her for a project. She said she had to ask her friend first but in the end they agreed, so yeah! =) Anyways she hasn't said anything about this weekend so I'll ask again tomorrow I guess.

Right it's gone on long enough. =X On the advice of everyone and because it's getting a bit strange in class since a lot of people know, I decided to ask her out for dinner today. She was busy today but when I asked about this weekend, she said: I let you know. So, everybody pray for me and hope for the best?

How about a minute for quiet introspection? Usually I might have stuff todo, or things on fb. So I end up rushing out a blogpost, either to make it quick or for the sake of doing so. But since I (not that I don't have anything to do) don't feel like doing much now. Maybe a longer post.

I was initially kinda excited when school started. New things to learn, new things to do. Interesting. But the sudden deluge of projects is just crazy. I have 3 projects to work on now and 1 piece of modelling before next week. And it's only Wed. My brain feels like scrambled eggs from all the thinking and brainstorming. I just want to STOP and NOT THINK for a moment. Literally just send it to sleep or hibernate mode.

It feels like i'm processing so much information all the time. Tuesday we worked from 11-7 (Remotes project)with only a short 20 min break or so. That takes a toll on you. We finished 80% of the project but I pretty much went back mentally exhausted. Then also had our History of ID project that I did come up with a few suggestions for us to work on. When it comes down to it, everything is designed, therefore our choices for projects are nearly infinite. This means that it's even harder to find a good product that provides us with good material.

Hopefully,it is something that:
1)Nobody has thought of
2)is bloody interesting (Linked to 4.)
3)can provide us with a decent amount of material (I bet the history of thumbtacks is not as well documented compared to chairs)
4)is also 'weird' or 'funny' or unconventional like sanitary pads, condoms, kayaks. (ALL real projects that have been done before.)

We have yet to start discussions on that, but probably tomorrow. Going to school earlier. =\ Today's project focuses on ergonomics. We have a few ideas but dammit I don't feel we have a good enough idea for it. Sigh. I hope one of us has a brainwave tomorrow. I don't want to fall behind.

All of the above plus current circumstances (Re:dinner) are contributing to make a very stressed out me. D:

DAMN PISSED OFF LA. Today had another project. I was gonna go ask her after class then these two people went to ask her. They fucking KNEW the circumstances and they knew both of us had no groups but they still went ahead and asked her to join them. HAVE SOME TACT WILL YOU. For a couple of girls you two are FUCKING not senstive. Either that or damn bastard. Seriously. I'm not happy. And I mean it. You guys suck man.

That incident spoiled my mood in the day. Seriously I don't know why everyone's EQ appears to have gone down. Fucking irritated. Spent mosat of the day working on our first project of the week. 11+ till 7pm. Took only 1 short break. At least it's done.
---
Sigh. Bored bored bored bored bored. FB is like becoming deader than ever. Is it me or the start of the new sem? The events of the past two days have done nothing to improve my mood. Can you people wake up your bloody idea pls. Zzz. I'l get over it. Eventually. Sigh. In this stage I'm also in no mood to do my hall stuff like the website design. Maybe I should just sleep till tomorrow.

Sucks man. =.=

Sigh.

[Update]
I'm really getting into indie music. Now I see why people like it. Some of it is really happy. And catchy. And SO non-mainstream! Less-heard-of. Something new. And good stuff. And the irony of it is if I post I now love indie music on FB, all the other people will go lolwut? because that's what indie music people do. They keep their music low profile, and they will ALWAYS have heard of that band before they even formed. Way before you. Always. Anyway I got all these off a friend. =)

First day of school! A lot of people are complaining about how bad their is. Or isn't Here's mine, direct off FB:

I went to withdraw cash, ATM spoil so I walked to another place. I queued behind 10 people for the ATM and left 10 mins to get to class. This woman in the middle of constructing her sub, "oh, another one of these." That means two foot longs. One has "every veg except cucumber". The other has every "veg except cucumber and no chilli. Ok a bit of chilli. Ok enough! And olive. More olives. " One has "honey mustard and ranch." The other has "honey mustard and ranch. Ok stop stop stop! Ok stop stop stop!" Then she requested they sliced the sub in half. IT'S ALREADY SLICED. The counter staff pointed that out to her she still keep insisting. The staff slice the whole fucking package in half for her to see, wrapping paper and all. WIN. Then she ask for more napkins. The staff give her two. "Can I have more? No , no, more!" The staff pointed out there's napkins in the plastic bag already. "Oh! Oh! Inside have ar? Ok,ok, ok..."

IT'S JUST FOOD WOMAN. IT TURNS INTO SHIT AFTER A FEW HOURS. I KID YOU NOT. JUST EAT IT.

Nevertheless class was ok.Ended lessonearly. Interesting project I have. Like I said, I like what I do. So for once, and unlike most people, I actually don't mind school. It's an experience. (Y) Oh then we were supposed to be split into groups. I nearly got into a group with her. Until this other girl with whom some of us are not on very good terms with says she got in first. Damn you. Damn sian la. KNNBCCB. =.= Total spoiler leh ass. =.= Inconsiderate.

So. What did I do today? Woke up in the afternoon, had lunch with some people who were in hall. Said hi to the new exchange student. His parents are from Hong Kong and he lives in Canada and here in Singapore on exchange. Lol. After hanging around a bit after lunch, I went back to grab some stuff and then went to PS to meet Shawn, SY, and YM for a free movie. SW ps-ed them last min to I came in to replace. Heh.

After than joined Mugalo for dinner. I guess. Near the end I was feeling quite out of sorts, I dunno why. Maybe I was tired? My sleep cycle has been really exaggerated and screwy this holiday, sleeping at 3, and waking up at 1. Need to switch back now. School starts at 2 tmr though. 4 hours class. Ease back in to school. =)

I never really realised why people complained so much about never being able to get a 4 day week or less. Suppose cos I'm used to having a pretty set timetable. Also, probably cos I like what I do. =P

Feel a bit hollow though. Hols are over. Need to get used to school life again. Feel a bit disconnected.

Busy day today. Went back to hall to grab my camera then when to Tanjong Pagar to go to the railway station. Passed by Red Dot museum and took a couple of shots there. =) Went to the station (Quite a long way, should have gone from Outram instead.) and took a few photos. Quite a few people were taking photos there too. Even in the places we were not supposed to go. I suppose the staff have gotten used to this daily scene already.

Once in a while you will see station staff chasing all these shutter-happy people away, also whenever they encountered us. Security was mostly lax but it still kinda sucked to be chased away. Don't really know why the rest felt there wasn't much to capture, but I feel you just have to look to find things. Also did some portraits (lucky I brought my 50mm! =D) which seem really promising. Well for the final results, check the album which will be up in a few hours. I think it will be very interesting and well worth browsing through.

Went to Outram, snapped at a coupla shophouses along the way and then headed back to hall for BBQ with my committe. Fairly tired by then but had fun. Going to check on my washing soon. Feels a bit strange to be back in hall again. Need to get used to it once more. Last sem I'm gonna be here.

Long and tiring day but fun. =) I woke up early to shift all my stuff back to hall and clean up my room. Little tiny bedbugs(?) on my bed. Ugh. A lot of dust. Swept like crazy. The floor is somewhat walkable now. Later went to Clementi for lunch with friends then to one of their homes to watch movies. We watched Inception. Later on she came with one of our friends. =)

We went down to school for a talk by a prominent architect. I did fall asleep earlier but eventually woke up. It was still somewhat informative I guess. We then decided to head to Clarke Quay for a late dinner. Waited very long for the bus. Eventually got there quite late, and would have had to wait half an hour for Cafe Iguana. Walked to Liang Court but everything was closed Burger King Whopper Bar. D: lol. But it was alright I guess. Haha. Actually didn't wanna go home and stay out instead, but some of us had to wake up early. Nonetheless, glad I could spend some time with her still. =)

She refused when I asked if she wanted me to send her home, but maybe I should've? =X

Went out today to get some design books I've been eyeing for a while. Expensive stuff but at least I got a couple of vouchers from Xmas. =) $15 Popular and $20 Kino. Also asked my mum for some extra cash to buy 'textbooks'. They aren't textbooks per se, but close enough as books by famous designers. =) I got Design as Art by Bruno Munari, White by Kenya Hara, and Super Normal by Naoto Fukasawa and Jasper Morrison.

Designer book are, as the name implies, expensive stuff. White was $47 and it's a thin hardcover. Super normal was slightly larger and thicker but $57. Oh well, can't wait to gain some insights. =)

She din answer my calls today. Being stuck at home like this is boring. =( OG Outing tomorrow. Let's hope all is ok. Roar.

So bored. Nothing much to do at home and still plagued by things. =( Sigh. School in a week.

Didn't do much today. Day was slightly tinged with yeaterday's response but I know it's not a big deal. I sorta just want school to start. =X I did some work and also finished the Godfather trilogy. I may have to redo the things I did today because they were supposed to send me an email with the guidelines which I didn't receive. =.= OG Outing on Wed. Class outing on Fri.

Went over to her place, celebrated the new year. Gave her the gift after 12AM. =X Had fun, played drinking games. All of us went out to watch Tron today and spent the day out. Spent most of it beside her. Enjoyed myself. =) Now all I have to do is wait for her response to my gift. =X

Well it's a no. To going out. But I'm sure it's just a minor setback. Everything has been positive so far. So yeah, I'm ok. Wait for school to start.
