When Change Is The Only Constant.

hihi ppl.. in case i didn't keep you guys updated.. I'm studing in NUS- SDE [sch of design and environment] Archi.. I'm getting all excited and can't wait for sch to start! Cos I love workin at night.. and well.. my current job forces me to wake early =_= though i still slp late doing god knows what.. ahaha. love to nap in the afternoon =p

here's something i copied from a Facebook page.. some are really quite apt .. well.. some are quite extreme.. apparently ID students lead quite the same lives all over... :p [oh those marked red are what i'm already doing.. cos my life's kinda.. weird anyway]

You know you are a Product Designer Student when..

when the mouse hiding in your wall cavity at home, has more of a social life than you do....

when the last thing you think about at night, and the first thing you think about in the morning, is model making and deadlines...

when you know the cleaners by their first name....

when your housemates say to you good morning, and you say goodnight!...

when you spend so much money at the materials shop,you can't afford to pay attention...

When all your Christmas presents are wrapped inunused A0 CAD drawings...

when your parents have more of a social life than you do...

when you get on better with your tutors than you do with your housemates...

when you collect random pieces of rubbish, in case they help you with model making....

when you spend more more hours in the studio, than you do in your bed...

when you get excited at the prospect of 'pulling an all nighter' to get ahead with your projects....

when you tell the time based on people leaving the studio...

You are an expert and Photoshop, illustrator and auto cad but u don't know how to use MS excel...

your friends get more sleep in one night than you do in one week. ..

You consider 3AM an early night...

the only building on campus with its lights on is your studios'....

you say "It's only midnight- I have plenty of time to finish." ...

you confuse sunrise with sunset....

you ask what time it is, then ask "AM or PM?" ...

you strangle your roommate because she said she stayed up late studying. ...

your Friday night is 68 hours long....

you slice your finger, and the first thing you think of is if you'll be able to finish your model....

you wake up to go to uni and you're already there. ...

you refer to outside studio as the "Real World." ...

you confuse today and tomorrow....

you hear "Didn't you wear that yesterday?' followed by "and the day before that?" ...

you roommate files a Missing Person Report....

you count the number of days (not hours) you've been awake. ...

concept of time is not forward, but a count down from the time a project is due ("What time is it?""4hours 'till")....

you contemplate dropping your major 3 times a day....

you have a tent pitched in studio, but still don't go to sleep......

when u spark up a conversation in a pub, about how the ash tray is manufactured........

when the smell of burnt blue foam means home....

You don't consider saved up pounds and pennys as beer money but money to spend on more materials

when you have more mechanical pencils, unusually sized sheets of paper, and hand tools than stolen pint glasses and empty bottles adorning your window ledge...

when you feel strangley lost after project hand-ins.

You convert your own bathroom into a spray shop...

when after project hand-ins, your lack of stress worries you.

when you can't help but point out when something is a bad design and how you could redesign it to make it better...

When the word alias means long nights of frustration,annoyance, dispair, anger, sadness and ultimately failure

When you can't imagine life without polly filler...

when someone dents your blue foam model and you feel like taking your stanley knife to their neck.

when you knod politely and say hmmm when someone tries to 'improve' your design, when actually you want to tell them their ideas are sh*t.

when you have 10 minuets before your deadline and your still in staples getting the mammoth of a so called design report bound.

when filler primer is your last hope.

when someone asks to borrow your ruler and pencil.

when your sick of saying the word.. form, function,aesthetics and ergonomics.

when your walking down the street trying to think ofthe next big thing.

when you buy a new toothbrush just so that your current toothbrush can be an old toothbrush forpolishing stuff

when you set your alarm clock to remind you to stop working and eat

When you can no longer relish lie-ins, instead you find yourself getting up, cursing that you've already'wasted' 2 hours of project time....

you can't get to sleep at night till 2am because you had to sketch out and idea that came to you whilst you were worrying about a project.

when you go home after your first year and you can't hold a conversation with anyone because all you can talk about is Materials, Manufacture and Technology.

When you think I've handed in a project, time to party and have a life again... only to be given ANOTHER project with EVEN MORE WORK in it the next day! okaez.. but of course, it's not so scary, u'll still haf a life .. dun quit the course so soon..

ahaha.. =] have fun~
