devotion

Did not feel too good when I got home from school today. Been having this mixture of dissatisfaction with my life and spacey-ness that I can't shake off. I'm trying hard to be happy. But sometimes I wonder if there's a need to try so hard. Shouldn't one just... be happy?

I love my mum.

I know that whenever I feel bad or upset, I can come home to her and she will always be there.

This is what family and love means to me.

the ideal vision.

i won't deny, there were moments over the weekend that i'd doubted all the effort spent on this panel for today's colloquium would be worth it. i'd stop my work, stare sadly at the poster, and imagine the tutor telling me that "this is naive". there is nothing more insulting than that (though many other things he says do come very close).

it paid off. the panel that i thought was the most useless of the four i had, turned out to be the saving grace.

for this, i'm really thankful that i didn't give up on it like i had initially planned to.

studio was OK.

but studio is always OK in the beginning; it's the final race that kills me off every time.

sigh.

and i should stop sighing. haha.

sometimes we all need a prompt.

have been feeling stressed, antsy and depressed during the weekend.

i guess i can't really stop design from inducing such negative feelings... but i can still try to cheer myself up by reminding myself that i have the sweetest MLA friends ever!

almost everybody calls me Miffi in school now (as do his friends, which is darn weird); i hardly ever hear my real name in studio anymore. anyway, i finally remembered to take a photo of the Miffy gifts that chingy, hooxy, and brother coincidentally bought me at around the same time without planning to do so.

i'll die of cuteness-overdose soon! *hearts*

in the midst of school, there's still you.

yeah, school has started, but this blog is supposed to be about happy things. psst.

so.

it was "open house" at rachel's on monday.

or more like crash-her-house-and-make-her-prepare-food for the rest of us. haha.

had a lovely time catching up with MLA mates i haven't seen in some time; we had a really nice afternoon sitting around watching tv and eating... until i started to have the dreaded monthly cramps and decided to crawl home.

have a happy period~

indeed.

i'm still testing it out... but so far i like what i see.







our pretty host.

it drains my iPhone 3G battery amazingly fast though...

"listen, and feel," she used to say.

a very inspirational talk about music. he makes it easy for the layman to understand classical stuff. the way he explains how we can understand a piece of music subconsciously using emotions sounds a bit like my last piano teacher. :)

let go.

i will be happy.

i promised myself that i will be.

i keep my promises.

i am so much more than you allow me to be.
