here's a lil update.

my complete Illustrator vector stamp for my survey of computer applications class. 

Everything, from the background to the stamp shape, to the lion logo to the singapore zoo logo was painfully done using the pen tool on illustrator. i spent a painful 8-9 hours on this.

 

thankfully, it turned out good. and now i'm thankful that i am a graphic design major. cos i can always ctrl-z when i make a mistake.

sadly, that's not how life works. 

and so my house hunt continues.

it was a horrible day to house hunt today with it pouring like crazy. by the time i was done my jeans were half soaked and so were my shoes and socks. savannah needs better drainage system. it's impossible to cross roads without having 

to cross the rivers first. 

on a happier note, at least my class for 3d was cancelled. I can't imagine carrying my cardboard towers and stuff through this weather. i'll be wasting my time, money and effort. heh. 

anyhows. there is no way i'm ever trusting real estate agents anymore. they don't care about the condition of the house and all they want is your money. every single house from mopper stapen is in a horrible condition. For example, the one i went to today was flooding in the rain. so in a sense, i'm thankful that it did rain. but even if it didn't, the house was in such a disgusting condition i don't think anyone would ever buy it or

 rent it even for a dollar. haha. unless u are willing to re-do the house and work on it. 

apart from that, the other houses that i checked out were musty and mouldy. totally grossed. oh well

more house hunting for me in the next few days as i meet up with "potential" roommates. 

hopefully those will turn out better. 

on the brighter side of my life, naomi and i have been spending practically every single day together and it's been a wonderful time of laughter, fun, fellowship and tetris on facebook. hahaha. yes. we dorks. she was so sweet to celebrate my birthday with me yesterday with a chocolate cake (very belated, but better late than never :) ) she wrote me a card and we both realised that we were the friends that we both prayed for. friends which we true and supportive, reliable and trustworthy, a firm spiritual support (well..she is for me...i dunno about the other way round. heh) it's been such a wonderful time with her that i'm so happy that i found her, but terribly upset that she's not going to be my roommate. 

naomi is my second bobo. i miss bobo and chrystal and cheryl and all my friends back home :( 

i've gotten a sudden bout of homesickness over the past few days as i've emo-ed about my work and housing situation. i suddenly remembered the times where my family, especially my brothers and my dad, would travel at night to find supper down back in Ang Mo Kio for roti prata or carrot cake or hokkien mee and the likes. surprisingly it's not the food, but the whole experience and their presence that i miss so much. I miss the childlike teasing of my father who loves me very much but refuses to admit so. 

right now i feel very very much alone. :'(

anyhows. if i didn't update, my roommate got a pet bunny. just because one of my neighbours saw it and she wanted one. she was well supported by michelle. very immature people for their age. very next day they went out to get one with the cage and all. pets are illegal in the dorms by the way, but i don't really care cos i love. but i was not supportive of this idea, knowing how my roommate is like. she can't even care for herself let alone a bunny. i was labelled "unloving" and "too practical" for objecting to having a bunny.

just as i expected, the bunny is now shoved to one side. my roommate used to attend to the bunny every single moment. now she comes in and she doesn't even bother saying hi to the rabbit. worse, the cage is real bad and the bunny's white paws are now yellow from the poo poo and pee pee. she used to feed it 3-5 times a day. yesterday, it was only fed once. today, she left and has gone the whole afternoon and it is not fed at all. poor bunny.

what will happen to you when she moves out into another house with a housemate who is equally or dirtier than her??? you're gonna die young from inhaling all that cigarette smoke and huka pipe. poor bunny. so nice and sweet. i would take care of you and take u away from her...but only if ally supports the funding. i have no money to feed myself. let alone u.
