a view inside my stationary box. my all-time favorite items in this box would be ARTLINE Drawing System pens and STABILO Point 88 in various colors.
how the evening was spent with friends i won’t be seeing in the near future.

after 2 days of continuous working, today’s design crit has finally over, yeay! and about my scheme, i thought i was too long-winded and i talk too much, or too detail, but seriously i’m not sure when i’m talking too much, but somehow they say it is OK for everything…even though i didn’t finish presenting? i’m feeling doubtful here?
anyhow, James left us today. i guess everyone is going to miss him. i miss him, although i’m not under his studio. i wish i could, though. somehow his urban studies lecture and the things he says during crit session are still fresh in my mind, very inspiring for a different perspective thinking. what’s more for today is that, all the big archi were here, and we even got the chance to talk with some of them.
it was a great day overall and it does not just end there.
i had a good night out with classmates, and the night ends with a bowl of noodles and HEROES.
these meant so much to me after being all nighters for soo long…at last a rest from studio works.
(wakes up to a bright cold morning, goes straight to the bathroom, brushes teeth, looks in the mirror)
Elena: *thinks to herself* wow, i woke up quite early today. i can get tons of revision done in the morning. wonderful.
(goes to the study table, switches on the PC and looks at the time)
Time: 1:15 PM.
Elena: early my ass.

so, i went to see the doctor in the evening since my condition was getting worse. instead of just having a low grade fever, now i also have on and off tummy cramps and diarrhea. the doctor said i might be having stomach flu and he advised me to consume plenty of liquid and get plenty of rest. no solid or dairy foods until my tummy feels better.
i feel pretty terrible at the moment.
my dad really is my life advisor slash warden slash hero slash so many other things. if he knew how to style me and organize my schedule, mannn i would say bye-bye to my girlfriends long time already. HAHAHAH.
growing up with him wasn’t easy though. he is one the strictest father with very high expectations of his children. if i got 100% for a test, he’d say “very good, next time get 110%”. if i got a B for a test, ahhh just forget about it la. hide the results in my underwear drawer.
that was primary school. come secondary school, boys started popping up in my life and heart shapes started appearing in my notebook. even though i had no idea what love was, every good looking boy in school was the one i was going to marry.
my dad started getting white hair at this point. scratching his head while i doodled “ELENA AND *all sorts of different boys name* 4EVA” on paper. it’s funny now but at that time, boyyyy i was so scared of him. he’s not the type that would close one eye over things. no way. he would check my phone bill and anything longer than 5 minutes, he would ask me what could a 13 year old possibly ramble on for an hour over the phone.
but now, i realised how worried my dad has been. he keeps saying it’s really not easy to have daughters. daughters are much bigger responsibilities for fathers, and i guess in some ways that is true. my dad was like a Spartan fly-kicking any scrawny boy that came near.
well things are different now. i’m an adult and my dad being in his late 50s, he has become very mellow, laid-back kind of a guy now. he always says whoever i choose as a husband (lol!), he will allow, but he trusts that he has given me enough knowledge on what to look for in a husband. it’s easy to find a boyfriend, but finding a husband is another story.
anyway, happy fathers day to the man in my life. i love you 4EVA dad.

i’m still sick. i woke up around 12pm and didn’t do anything much. spent the rest of the day at home with my housemates. we watched Rio, the bird that can’t fly.
later that evening, Munirah cooked us dinner. chicken kurma and curry. it was superb!
not only she cooked dinner, she even delivered the food along with the saucepan and everything into my room and made me eat my dinner in bed :)
i feel so loved. i told her that she’s one friend i should definitely keep through thick and thin, and she went “yeah…i keep going back and forth about whether or not i want to continue this friendship with you.”
she’s kidding, of course. that’s how she expresses her love…aren’t i lucky?
after dinner, we were groaning about how full we were and how we couldn’t move.
Artist Yayoi Kusama is a master when it comes to bringing out a childlike wonderment in audiences, leaving them slack-jawed as they take in their enchanting surroundings. The Japanese visionary has a distinct style that doesn’t go unnoticed, especially in recent years, with the employment of polka dots, mirrors, water, and an array of LED light fixtures. There’s a surge of jubilation that emanates from her multihued installation works and this piece titled Fireflies on the Water is no exception.

scale ruler spotted. my room is quite messy.
woke up this morning with a heavy head and tired eyes. decided to just stay at home. by mid-day i realized i was having a mild fever. that got me into panic mode because in exactly one week i’ll be seating for my final AP paper. so i took a couple of paracetamol, drank a lot of water, got into my comfy socks and bear hugged my comforter.
every single part of my body is exhausted. running on 3 - 4 hours of sleep a day is starting to take its toll on my body.
i need to manage my time more effectively.
