Dilemma.

Full time or Part time?

This is the question that i am asking myself almost everyday. 

Full time

If i manage to pass the interview and all sort of nonsense test, i will be able to get my degree after a year plus. But the problem is, studying design is not a cheap thing, there are actually hidden cost ! Just by printing, binding and mounting your projects and assignments, its enough to burn a hole in your pocket. Then how about the school fees? Where am i going to get 25k, and yes i am working for almost 3 years now but judging from my pathetic pay do you really think i can save even 5k? I still need to get myself a mac book. Then how about my 生活费? Even if i want to work part time, it reckon i can handle both of them well. Since if i have only 1 years plus, my schedule will hectic. But the pros? i get to really focus on doing design and build my portfolio. And also, take a break from work and “re-visit” design. 

———————————–

Part time

As far as i know, there are no part time courses that offer Degree in communication design or something similar. The nearest i have got so far is SIM, Business with communication design. The duration of the course is 4 year and its hard to get module exemption because this course is a collaboration between Nafa and SIM. So unless you are a nafa student, if not i dont think you have a high chance of getting exemption. But there is a catch, if you are working and studying, you might be able to get a subsidy of 50% from the Govt. 50% ! Thats like even better than mango sales ok! Considering the amount of school fees that we are going to pay. Sounds attractive, but it focus more on business rather than design so its basically a business degree. But i might be able to venture into another area if 我混不下去 in design. I can work and save my school fees too!

How how how! 

I think its all about $_$ !

Filial Piety

with one comment

Attended a ritual with my dad last friday at YCK. Its not exactly like a funeral but more of  a death memorial for my grandma’s parents and siblings who have pass away a few years ago. To some , it might be a joyous occasion where they can have a get together with family members that they haven’t seen in ages but to some, its a event that once again bring them closer to their love ones whom they will never get a chance to see again.

Ritual

The ritual lasted for  2 hours with the priests chanting and running around. After the ritual, we then proceed to the dinner and the last destination – Sengkang to witness the burning of the offerings.

 


I cant use flash throughout the entire ceremony so that explain why most of my photos are really blur. Just got to snap everything before nothing is left.

A place which i plan to visit every year.

Love it because it feels good to wake up early in the morning with the sea breeze and the sound of the waves greeting you.

Perhaps its really a shame how sometimes i try to capture the nice moments with my camera and not my heart.

I wanted so badly to capture the nice photos that sometimes i forget to immerse myself in the moment and use my heart to feel and remember it.

When i was young, my auntie dote me more than her own son. She always showered me with care and concern making me feel like a pamper little  princess. But as i grow up, things change and our relationship drifted apart.We haven’t seen each other for a couple of years,so when Ah Meng gor gor is getting married, my Auntie needed my cousin and me to help out at the wedding, i hesitated for a while. After all , i havent contact Ah meng gor gor for like 10 years? But i am glad that i help out even though its really tiring but its a great catching up session with my relatives! And yeah, its a great occasion, how can i not bring my baby along?

Turning point

leave a comment »

IMG_1618

If there are turning points at some part of your life, then i can say i am going through one right now.

Its hard to make decisions but in the end , i still have to make one isnt it?

Indecisiveness make me a bad decision maker.

I am taken aback by my own actions and feelings and i dont seem to recognize myself anymore.

Some things cannot be explain and i absolutely had no answer to it.

If this is a test , i think i failed. 

I need more time.

Overwhelmed by emotions these days and i hardly can straighten out my thoughts.

Perhaps i already have the answer , but i dont have the courage the face it?

Lost.

I am so sorry.


張智成-暗戀

四目交接的时候 不要停留太久

适可而止的问候 关心不能太过
好奇也别去探索 嫉妒只能深锁
如果忍不住寂寞 也不能对你说

啊好朋友啊我的好朋友
不小心的沉默 不想让你太难过

* 我们就站在落地窗的两边
就算触碰也有了界限
如果跨越过彼此那道边界
是靠近还是更遥远

相信我们走到另一个境界
搭肩高唱友谊万万岁
要是我爱你变成了语言
什么会多一些 什么会少一些

就让别人去猜测 我们清白的很
就让自己去承受 那种清白的闷
就算我只是朋友 能不能有要求
如果会发生什么 还是我想太多

啊好朋友就只是好朋友
不小心说出口 微笑中藏着难过

Repeat *

你会不会也曾闪过这感觉
一念之间就要差一点
要是我爱你变成了利剑
什么会被消灭 什么才会复原

那是我的底线 继续将你暗恋
