- my rice cooker is molding from the inside omfg -

my new discoveries:
1. Weekly Jump is celebrating its 40th anniversary this year.
2. Prince of Tennis has ended. (otsukarei~ *grin*)
3. McD's tray paper has actually printings on both sides now! *gasp* i used to doodle on the blank side when i was little...
4. i cleaned the fridge in the common kitchen yesterday and found a molding cocoa drink and a few (some 20 bottles) of oils and sauces which expiry dates were 2005 or 2006. the ones which expired in 2007 were collected by the neighbours, claiming that they're still usable. oh well, yeah i guess you won't die of that. and the eggs were relatively newer, they were labeled 6th February. *grin*

yeah i know some of you think that's dumb and outdated.

finally i'm able to surf the internet for long hours again! ok i see the point that staring at the computer screen is detrimental to your health, so on and so forth.. but the world wide web is where i obtain my little short-lived happiness. how could i survive without a laptop?! <--- yeah if i hadn't bought a laptop i would've become (remained as? *psh*) an ideal studious (nerdy) student who aces in all tests and reports and doesn't have a life other than reading reference books. which i'm quite sure will never happen.

anyway.. to those who have been wondering where i've been or why haven't i been updating my blog..

I'VE BEEN DRAWING.

not drawing as in drawing manga or anime characters. not sketching. i'd love to do these things, if i had plenty of time to spend.

life turned hectic after 2 weeks into the new term (will remain hectic for the rest of my university life, probably). for technical drawing classes, we're told to "trace" (not literally trace, but kinda like "copy and paste" onto another piece of A1 cardboard with a pencil) building plots, a cross section, and a detailed drawing of the Cunningham House located at Omotesando. we were given 3 weeks to complete the work, and i made the greatest (maybe) mistake in my life to only start sharpening my pencil in the 2nd week.

7 drawings - 6 small ones and a big one - 1 day each for the small ones and the rest for the big one, should be enough.

BUT NOOO.

never underestimate wooden houses and their simple structures.

before we began the assignment, we visited the actual building and took pictures of it. inside and outside. thought they'd help along the way. but the ones that i took, turned out to be unimportant. *gah*

in the end i rushed throughout the remaining 2 weeks, every night trying to motivate myself to complete the drawings. "trying". spent 2 nights in the architecture department before Golden Week, without any sleep (thank goodness i'm well-trained because of ragnarok and karaoke, hehehehe...). visited my family during Golden Week even though i knew i shouldn't have done it, and we had a one-day outing at Mashiko for the Japanese pottery festival. the rest of the nights in Tsukuba, drawing. the last night before handing up the assignment, i stayed awake overnight.

^ my fantabulous unfinished work ^

(weird... why did blogger tilt my pictures 90 degrees clockwise?)

wrote my name on the cardboards 10 minutes before the submitting session was closed.

and i was far from completing the drawings.

i knew this was going to happen. maybe a part of me deep inside my heart, i was purposely "hoping" to screw up my assignment and panic over it. damn, i AM automasochistic...

at least i didn't miss the fun. i was right to go to Tsukuba even though i was out of time (<--- self comfort). family over deadline, yo. and even though i always ignore messages, i'm now dealing with this bad habit of mine. maybe i shouldn't speak of it anymore, otherwise i might start ignoring people again.. >.>
