蕾

上の音楽私にとても好きです！これ音楽はコブコロ（日本のバンド）を歌うです。東京タワ初めてを聞きました。東京タワはわたし大好きの日本語ドラマ。
その影さけは可愛いですね！
i really like that song above! the song was sung by kobukuro, a japanese band. i first heard this song in 'tokyo tower', one of my favorite japanese dramas.
those shadow owls are so cute!!

”蕾”は英語で 'flower bud' です。
"tsubomi" means "flower bud in english.

my japanese is still too cmi to do very much with, haha. and my grammar can die one.

i feel quite happy today though. for the first time in ages, i got up, pottered around, the decided i was still tired, so went back to sleep, then got up again when i felt like it, wondered what to have for lunch, then pottered around a bit...and got bored...so now i'm thinking of going out and getting presents for my family. but i think i cannot continue this lifestyle. i will die of boredom.

i visited the young designers portfolio show yesterday with lai mei, clarence and evy. i looked through some of my senior's portfolios and felt quite awed by the work they have done, especially one of them called micki who did some awesome work for his master's project. it's not entirely to my taste, but the amount of research and work+the awesome graphics he created in the process is totally breathtaking and is something i want to pursue with the same gungho when i'm in year 5.

but i know there is so much to learn, so many things to master, so many skills to build up. looking back, i realize that there are so many of us with fantastic ideas 'in our minds', we know how it ought to look like, all the little details...but when it comes to expressing the ideas, and bringing it to life in the form of graphics and models (and, in the future, reality)...somehow the idea is watered down and doesn't do justice to it. so skills are extremely important and have to be mastered as fast as possible.

gaily said that it was weird that we would go to design festivals even after exams and submissions...come to think of it, why aren't we sick of design after all the designing we've done in the semester? then i figured we don't get sick of it because somehow designing isn't like studying or memorizing something, it's more like constantly striving for perfection and beauty, and we love looking for perfection because no one has ever found it yet, except for God. So that is why a lot of us in architecture and other design courses love things like photography and graphic design, because we want to capture something that is elusive to us, because we are mere humans. so we keep searching, and when someone goes close to it, we see it and learn from it, so that we may attempt it ourselves.

maybe...

haha...anyway, why so serious? i'm going out already, i cannot stand this.
