introspection.

it’s already the twelfth of January. time sure flies really fast for the past one year.

2011 is one of the challenging year of my life. living in the land down under, it really teaches me the meaning of life besides giving me valuable experience. i had explored the road that i might not have taken if i were in Malaysia.

as for my new year resolution:

1. do well in studies. i’ll be completing my M.Arch this year and hopefully it would be a good, fast and easy semester. it should prepare me for an exciting internship.

2. exercise regularly and eat less. i gained some weight since coming home.

3. put more effort into staying in touch with friends. work shouldn’t always come first.

4. travel more. especially to Asian countries. i’m very curious of them…even though i’m an Asian.

5. help people in need. do as much charity work as possible.

6. treat my mother more nicely. i need to respect and love her more and stop treating her like she’s one of my friends.

7. get along with my brother a little better.

8. id project. finalize the design for dry kitchen, and get my bedroom done before school starts.

hopefully 2012 will be the year where i’m going to make the best of myself.

"If you’re twenty-two, physically fit, hungry to learn and be better, I urge you to travel— as far and as widely as possible. Sleep on floors if you have to. Find out how other people live and eat and cook. Learn from them— wherever you go."

had the wiring people came over this morning to get some hacking job done. i added a few plug-in socket just below the window, where i want my study desk to be. as for the wall color, i honestly can’t decide which color to choose. i want something that goes well with lavender curtain. i’m thinking of painting the wall with some sort of cream-ish or off-white tone but then i really want to make my room cozier so maybe a taupe feature wall will do…? meh-i don’t know. all this while, people kept telling me that i have a good sense of color but now i really doubt it.

1. i got lost in some beautiful ranch after a lengthy car journey. the journey meant i got to see the beautiful scenery, something i would never have even thought about otherwise.

2. decided to head to the mall on my way home. after 20 minutes or so driving in circle hunting for a parking spot, the parking officer instructed us (the long queue of line i was in) to pull over to the side of the divider near the parking exit and just leave our car there…which means free parking. i was in the right place at the right time.
