sunset

was walking along d fed highway to d pick-up pt after sch today
saw this really nice sunset, *lion king* style.

2 mins later it rained on me though.
still
hw could i nt love these after sch 15 min walks?

posed for attack

I woke up this morning and ntg went right
This is juz one o d “ntg could make me smile” days
Feeling extremely stressed
Sleeping makes me feel guilty
This course is nt meant for me
Life isn’t gd at d mo
Trying too hard

Gosh. Apparently any attempt at blogging results in WHINING.
As opposed to dear wern yi who sent me this msg juz nw:
“Apparently 2day is my be-grateful-d-sun-is-still-shining day:) So I just wanted 2 thank u all 4 bein my stars. I miss u. I love u. Continue burning brightly. We’ll light up d skies;-)”

Thanks, wern.
I mean, even in d middle o my miserable sketching I had to *smile*.

“Nothing is easy” sounds so cliché. And I already KNOW tht!
“Nothing is as hard as you thought it would b, it’s only HARDER!” sounds better for my present predicament.

Having a miserable time managing my time --> spend HOURS on a single sketch tht is worse than anything tht my bro can draw.
And all this while other assignments are piling up.

But I will grit my teeth and do them.
Sarah does not giv up.
Nor does she want anyone's sympathy (though some cheers would b nice..).
Even when she sighs/feels like throwing her pencil every 5 minutes.
*I’ll work hard, I promise*

middle o sketching assignment

apparently sketching is like playing sudoku.
one wrongly angled line will throw everything else out o balance.
and it feels doubly bad when you finish drawing all d dots and are halfway thru drawing d connecting line...
when you find tht it doesnt connect.

difficult as it b
ugly as my sketches are
i kinda like them.

probably cuz it's difficult
and my sketches are ugly

*working hard for d day when i can sketch at ease (at least w/o screaming in frustration)
and my drawings actually RESEMBLES something*

before this draft gets outdated…

one day during CNY
mom suggested going to melaka *juz to breathe different air*
so we went
then found tht everyone has d same bright idea,
hence
cars aplenty, scorching weather.

then mom said, let's find a place to put d car rest.
got a rm200/night 3-star hotel room
and stayed d night
it was super impromptu, so later tht night we went to
guardian for toothbrushes/toothpaste
some giant-wannabe for undies

random: backtracking life

dont worry, i've not joined twitter.
but i do hav a "twitter bk", in which i record random thoughts tht cross my head during d day.
lol~

i went for my uni (taylor's pj) for orientation and during d 3hr break,
visited d LIBRARY.
which was one o my fav places.
it wasnt very big, but still...
archi archives well stocked.
no complaints.

read a bk abt d workings o d brain,
found this article fun:
<backtrack your life>
there were questions like,
where were you last saturday?
wht did you eat for your last meal?
whom were you w on new yr's eve?

could you recall these info?

how abt these:
wht flavour was d last cake you've eaten?
when was d last time you got a haircut?
wht time did you eat your breakfast on tuesday?
wht was d last present you opened last christmas/birthday?
who was d last person you hugged?
wht is d longest tongue-twister you could recite?

as i was going thru d questions
i was surprised tht i could remember many o them.
not becuz my memory has improved (becuz it has not)
but becuz many days are marked by something special.
a txt msg fr a long-uncontacted friend
a touching story i read in d papers
a trip to d bkstore
a turn behind d wheel

for these i am grateful.

when things seem down
try backtracking your life/days =)
