racing against time.

i'm still at the office. came back after my appointment at ttsh. yeap, this signifies the beginning of my journey into the design world, endless nights and days, without much monetary reward. but i do enjoy the work alot, though it could have been better if i'm stress free from my AA portfolio preparation. but i guess this is my life, it has always been full of events. some projects which i've done.. safra video, condo submisison layout, spore buddhist welfare services bus design, and more to come... although, these are not major projects but it provides good training in photoshop, managed to learn a few new shortcuts... currently working on crazy horse submission layout.. time to completion = overnight...

not to worry too much about where i'll go, cuz god will lead me through it... even if there's no AA, the gap year option is still kindda viable... the thought of working with expeditio, habitat for humanity and maybe bridge 2 far II is kindda exciting... anw, it's too late to change my air tickets to london... sri lanka just got bombed but i'm not very concern about it cuz their planes are good, just that it may not be that safe to get out to colombo to kill time during our return transit. but it's worth to go i guess...

okay, the results are out. there are nodules in my lungs, showing signs of infections, but the test shows that i'm TB negative... but i still need to be under TB medication for a period of 4 mths, to prove to foreign authorities that i'm free from that disease.. it would be stupid be rejected by a foreign university on the basis of my abnormal lungs condition.. anw, there is a 1% chance of getting liver problems from the medication which i don't think it will pose any problems...

it's time to get back to work...

life:track

Life and track

life:track is the theme for my portfolio, which i'm preparing for AA. Well, i hope to depict my life through illustrations of train lines and tracks. It represents the intricacy of my life (or rather everyone's life) that each project is somehow related to one another. Life is sometimes about connections and oppotunities, but these opportunites may not be one's entitlement, but rather they are previleges which shouldn't be taken for granted of. I really pray for a direction and an educational path that is good and it seems that AA is my last fortress. It's like a make it or break it situation now, cuz spending another 1.8k for the trip there for an interview is really a monetary burden. Well, it may be the treshold of a new era.

Life and beyond

A week ago, I was shocked to be informed about the news about the passing on of a senior of mine. I wasn't very close to her, but i do feel this sadness within me that she has left. It somehow reminded me the period of late 2003, where i had this bout of "depression". I'm not sure if i should put it as depression or distraught by the passing on of two person, one of whom was another senior and the other left in a incomprehensible way. I am always affected by the passing on of ppl who i know, especially those of our age. Oh well, i am worried about my health condition too but it doesn't really warrant a grave concern though. My bicuspid aortic prolapse and my lung nodules seem to be serious but i really hope they are just abnomalities, rather than real problems. My ct scan results shows signs of infections (there's this sizable blot of 'thing'). fortunately, it's not cancerous growth, but it indicates signs of TB. I'm hoping my test result is negative, but even then i may need to be placed on TB medications just to reduce the blot of thing.
