well, when the party chops(stamps) on your wrist start figuratively piling up it's probably time to stop and get some rest....just in time to do work for the rest of the week! it was quite a weekend with impromptu lindyhop-ish dances and cosy parties at some of my classmates' apartments in lund and malmo but weekends can't quite last forever. and it is not going to be an easy week as we have two presentations, tomorrow and thursday, and then the final presentation for the Puma brand extension project next thursday.....the day after i get back from the kiruna trip with stella and peiching... but i guess it will be much-needed good training for me to learn to work early and finish way before the deadline...so friday will be my personal deadline. pray for me! it is going to be quite rough i think..
other than that school is becoming more engaging and interesting, there is alot of opportunity to explore and learn. although i think i can't say for sure yet that things here are -drastically- different from back home in school in NUS(National University of Singapore) in terms of process and schoolwork. but for a start, the crits so far for the *main studio project have been very constructive and encouraging. brutally honest at times but always supportive and encouraging. something which maybe comes from learning from tutors who are still very much in the industry. so i've been learning quite a heckofalot which is always a good thing for me. i'm in a good place, i'm quite sure.
(*main studio project - i'm not sure i can explicitly say what it is about yet..no non-disclosure agreement signed or anything but just to be safe lah.)
non-burnt rice in a normal pot cooked on the stove!
and in other news, i have officially killed my rice cooker. i am really sorry!! especially to the dearest bunch that bought me the cooker for my birthday before i left. it is completely my fault.. i was using it as a boiler to heat up my rather cold room and one night i forgot to unplug it before leaving home....so it boiled until it died.... argh! felt really **pekchek but i guess maybe it was a blessing in disguise that it didn't burn my room down and also that i had just managed to cook rice properly both in the cooker and on the stove just a few days before it died.. so i should still be able to cook decent rice for the next 4 months.. just that my room will be back to its cold and dry original state again now.
***hai, rest in peace, my dear cooker. :/
** pekchek - frustrated
*** hai - sigh

hello! just discovered your blog and was catching up on your life. radom comments that came across my mind as i was reading your blog: 1) why is your room called sparta? hope it isn't a throwback to being spartan or anything. but it looks nice and cosy like an ikea showroom man. 2) the burnt thing in your ricecooker reminded me of the cuppage plaza burnt steamboat that we had. and i actually managed to burn porridge before heh so well dont worry you dont really take the cake in deplorability in cooking skills department. 3)anyways, glad to see you are well and all. would have emailed you all this but i dont know your email.
wah lao drsb, how can you know me for 12 years and not know my email! same as my msn lah! and there is also my not so secret gmail account.
and cooking is not too bad now, can cook decently for self and some friends. i think it's actually easier to cook rice on a stove than in a cooker cos no need to be so zhun..
