The last Friday of the holidays

It's 12 October and the last Friday of the semester break. I've been quite rested and happy during these holidays and my mind has been tranquil. I did everything I thought of; reading, writing, drawing, music-making, guitar-playing and of course going out and catching up with my friends.

So last weekend I was at my cousin's place and collected the clothes she gave away. They're her hand-me-downs that I've been meaning to retrieve since earlier this year and didn't have the time to. I picked a short black dress with a ribbon, a grey and green patterned sweater and an Abercrombie and Fitch blouse that would go perfect for my smart-casual wear.

Here is the grey sweater with green patterns

I also tried a very different way of makeup; one that is out of my comfort zone. I've never done this kind of makeup before! ;-)

School starts next week and 4 ateliers (for the upcoming Final Year Project) were emailed to us last Monday. I picked Aides Memorium: Monument, Memory & the Interior as my most wanted choice. We had to submit a 250 word essay on why we choose the aforementioned atelier. Instead I am given Museum for the Singapore Story. While it is something I don't mind doing, my dear reader, I do wish I get the one I wanted because it is a theoretical approach. I love and enjoy writing and learning the design theories (for Theory of Design is my favourite module) thus I reckon the atelier would do me good. As I read through the brief, there is a lot of research to be done on the World War II in Singapore; it is something I would thoroughly enjoy!

This atelier (Museum for the Singapore Story) however, ties in with the Singapore Discovery Centre. It's basically narrating an architecture with implications from its spatial implications. I will have to read up on Invisible Cities by Italo Calvino and The Library of Babel by Jorge Borges. There are more precedent studies but I'm sure, reader, you wouldn't need to know. :-)

I hope I get through this well. This is the final lap since I will be graduating next year somewhere in February!
