RAIN EXPERIENCE

supp guys!!

i was away from blogging for some time. i was enjoying my holidays then.

wild partying with peeps yet busy with holiday assignment. man. it's christmas today! hahaha. so i guess everyone must have been partying wildly past few days? perhaps to say, shopping like mad, grabbing the big discounts? must be man.

just to share a little something here.

yesterday i went to my usss sch mate's birthday bash with my best friend and other two guys who we haven't keep in contact for so long. we met them and had hard time finding stupid shuttle bus to ahola chalet! oh man. it was raining then. we even had to run to catch the shuttle bus when one of us found out that shuttle bus goes to our destination! so we were like overtaking each other while running in the rain.

i was the only one lagging behind as i was wearing goddamned slippers! hahaha, i was like trying my best to secure my foot safely onto the wet ground with water puddles gingerly, not caring how cold the water puddles splashed upon my heavy steps, gracefully flowing all over my whole foot! it sure felt so cold! but it was absolutely fun running in the rain without an umbrella! i was just chuckling away softly to myself. and yes, we finally rested our drenched bodies in the shuttle bus! on the way, we were chatting away and kept on looking out for the chalet.

at last we reached the place but again, we had a hard time tracking down the block unit number in the rain. again, i didnt know that i stepped so heavily onto the water puddle when i was busy trying to squeeze myself under the umbrella which my best friend was holding then. then yes man, my foot was washed cold into the deep water puddle! it felt as if i was at a beach with seawater flowing over my foot up to my ankles! oh my gawd. i was already drenched!

then we tracked down the exact block unit number of the chalet and were greeted by the birthday gal. then we went in and made ourselves home. afterwards it was quite boring...just the usual chatting. then we went home at night. actually we missed the last shuttle bus so we got a lift from my ex-teacher's sons who drove us and dropped us at places near our respective homes.

well, i guess that the party bash was quite boring as i dont know the birthday gal well. she invited me and my best friend on account of my ex-teacher. but it's alright. at least i enjoyed the rain experience! hehe.

LAST CRIT

hmmm.

just felt like sharing something which i've experienced for the last time in my life. my last crit.

it went alright, in fact it was much shorter compared to all of my previous crits, lasting at least twenty mins. it was barely twenty minutes, it was only about between ten and fifteen minutes. i wrote so much about my concept and its elaborations, just to receive little questions and massive comments.

usually i would be questioned more than receiving comments. however this time, they seemed to understand my concept easily when they commented on this and that, tallying with my concept. their few questions were merely on the areas which they wanted to know, like what areas in which positions and the circulation. i could answer all questions easily with my own stand and thankfully, when i was wanting to illustrate my reasons, my panels had the pictures as if it was god-sent to support my reasons. in fact, this didn't happen in my previous crits! i must say that i was lucky this time! hehe.

*thank you, my lucky star for giving me what i needed to back up my explanations*

and i don't know why the lecturers are alot more lenient than before. well, let me trace back our conversations...

martin: ramp stepping up or going down then will reach the film area or suicide area?
me: *pauses for a second, kinda puzzled why he asked that question* ramp stepping up to film area then another ramp going down will reach suicide. *shows him the partial model*

puay toon: *speaks to me while tracing out the area on my panel* is this RAN? is this suicide? is this films area?
me: *nods my head and says yes very softly everytime*

martin: are these the materials? *points to the perspective on my panel*
me: *shows him the puzzled look*
puay toon: oh, he means that, where are your materials?
me: oh! *shows both of them my material board*
martin: yes yes... * looks at material board and goes mumbling okok*

olivia: *cuts in puay toon's conversation abit abruptly* peilan, where are your details from?
puay toon: *he thought i didn't understand so he wrote on white board, asking me for the details source*
me: *shows them the details from the floor plan*

chinleng: *nudges me gently, asking to see my 2 models which i had been holding on for explanation*
me: *hands him the models gingerly, glad to have free hands as i was kinda struggling to hold them while explaining via writing on white board and gesture same time*

olivia: ok, but is your screen a screen or a wall? how thick?
me: ah...no not screen...a wall, 50mm thick.
olivia: 50mm only? wall? so thin? *bursts into laughter, influencing martin and puay toon to chuckle at me* no, it should be 100mm thick wall...

alexis: *cuts into olivia's conversation* is your "screen" actually a gypsum board?
me: oh yes, that's the one!
alexis: olivia, her screen is actually a gypsum board!
olivia: oh! peilan, u can use 9mm, 12mm or 16mm thick gypsum board not 50mm thick! *laughs again*
me: *giggles sheepishly and nods same time*

chinleng: your circulation is very good and clear, but too many walls for panels display. later people will get dizzy when they turn around and around... *pretends to shift his head and act dizzy, then bursts into laughter with olivia, puay toon, martin and alexis who had been listening to him all this while*
me: *giggles at chinleng's humourous act*
puay toon: i agree with chin leng, too many walls...*still chuckling*
me: *nods while giggling*

olivia: ok, finished... *the rest went back to their seats*

alexis: *hands me the notes-taking paper and smiles smugly* (it's because yixian supposed to be my notes assistant but she didnt understand what was going on so i had to record down all the comments made by lecturers on the white board)

well, i handed alexis the notes-taking paper after recording down and packed everything with a light heart and i was just slacking around watching wee soon's crit when my guy smsed me that he just ended school! it was only 3.30pm i guess. so early man. it added to my light mood and i headed down to catch him at macs and went home together!

hahaha. what a light-hearted day it was for me!

HELLO GUYS

hellloooo guys!

well, i bet that some of you who used to frequent my blog, must have left already...no longer a fan of my blog eh? *sad*

hahaha. okay man, i know i know i haven't blogged a very long time since the launch of T3B! yeah man, i tell u, i was in no mood to blog then.

i was very busy with the T3B then. yeah man, i had given up on T3B, i jus did everything within my means to at least fulfil the basic requirements. oh well, i really hate this stupid clifford pier project man. it just sucks big time!

and to this stupid fool who invented this clifford pier project, please, don't u think u came up with a lousy project for us to work on?

did u even do research on this clifford per?

did u even think how good it gonna do to us?

did u ever tried putting yourself in our smelly shoes?!

did you even try to come over to classes and checked on our work progress?

did u even tried to help us by not changing the submission requirements anytime you wished?

did you ever consider our difficulty when you just posted that stupid bloody last minute submission changes about panels and tod on SUNDAY the day before submission?!

did u ever thought how inefficient you can be in your capacity as a lecturer?!

did u ever try to understand our work?!

let me answer all the following questions - the answer is an obvious NO.

you failed your job as a lecturer, honestly.

u made us hate you to the core, cursing you till we couldn't find any worse words to curse you to death, we couldn't even fight back knowing that you would be the winner in the end by changing submission requirements anytime, you were never in the right, we had more than enough of u all this while. just shut up for once will u?! stop making submission changes anytime! but alas, u can't do it to us anymore as we will be leaving soon. boohooo!

a good thing is that we won't be seeing your god damned goldfish face so soon.

and good luck to these future younger DID batches who will be under him.

eh, did i sound too childish? hahaha. i heck care.
