those were the days

currently in the midst of drawing up my panels for my year 3 design project submission. after this sem, i would have gotten my RIBA part 1 and my BA and completed half of my architectural education. it seems pretty fast for a duration of 3 years to go past like this. i came across this old photo and i can clearly remember it being taken a day b4 our first ever design submission. i ought to take one shot of the same ppl doing the same thing...rushing up drawings on eve of submission day. looking at myself, i cant believe how much i've changed in this 3 years...

i really miss having friends around me when i'm feeeling extremely stressed. i miss having buddies and friends within my reach in studio...i miss the coffee breaks, i miss times when i overslept in my sleeping bag..i miss the chill i get when the aircon suddenly switches on at 8 am. i miss having early breakfast in canteen after one whole night of work...i miss seeing the sky slowing liting up...i miss all the laughters and jokes in studio...i miss the slamming sound of the old drafting table...i miss seeing how some ppl sprawl across the light box to trace their drawings...i miss the symphony of chinese pop songs coming out from different laptops...i miss saying hi to ppl along the way to the toilet...i miss the sound of acrylic cutter sliding across those acrylics..i miss the occasional grunts frustrated fellow students let out...i miss having people giving honest opinions about my work...

i find myself getting more and more emotional and depressed as work now is me sitting in frnt of my computer alone in my room working thru the night alone, talking to myself alone, through writing this shit.
