Uh. Well. It’s been almost exactly a month since I posted the last entry. And yet, I don’t feel like writing a new entry at all. To quote Moon, Over time, I have so much to say, that in the end it all seems so overwhelming and I end up not saying anything. Yeap. There’s just … too much stuff to cover, too many words to write, too much effort required. All requiring time. Time that I’d much rather spend catching some well-deserved Z’s…

But. I suppose… I shall do some bullet points and give a basic run-down of what’s been happening.

  1. Barcelona trip. Was good. Fun. Saw so many things, such a unique, artsy city. Yet too much walking. Blisters. Walking around in a group of 100+ isn’t the best way to sight-see. It also rained for two days. But, am glad I went for the trip. Learnt so many things; not all of them even vaguely related to Art or Architecture. Enough said. [Photos here and here and here. I haven’t even finished uploading the pictures, blegh.]
  2. Came back to Canterbury only to be greeted by freezing weather. :| It’s slightly warmer again now, at around 12 degrees Celcius (as opposed to 6!), but there’s that distinct sense of the approaching winter…
  3. A couple of celebrations on campus. Like a belated Eid+Diwali (nicknamed DeepaRaya) celebration by the Malaysian & Bruneian Society, and Fireworks Night which I’ve never celebrated before. Nice little things that break the monotonous lecture-projects-home routine. [Fireworks p i c t u r e s. And there were fair rides too.]
  4. The end of one Architecture module, marked by our first ever crit/review. Went fine, the reviewers said it was very lenient this time. Marks were okay, it was only a pass or fail thing after all. But there were still stressful times and archie’s block and 2-hours-of-sleep nights and desperate last-minute scrambling. All-too-common events in an Architecture student’s life.
  5. Catching up with old friends. Writing long threads on Facebook, aka the digital way of having a 6-way conversation. Missing how everything was like and how everybody was around.

And, the rest of this entry will be filled with random photos. Thank you.
