Build to Last

This weekend, me and my friends and seniors from Interior Design UPH had a social movement event at TK Bahagia in Pluit, North Jakarta. The point is, we helped the school staffs to renovate and re-paint the whole building to make it less dreary and cheerier for children's learning activities.

I was interested to join because I thought it would be fun to paint with a real wall paint on a real wall for the kids. But then later, the committee asked me to make the wall painting design...

How does it feel to draw on something bigger than A0 paper? Nervous...

The first sketch. I didn't expect that  the wall would be much bigger than what I visualized in my mind.

Unable to think for more blabbing here haha, off to sleep!

Break

Typing this while I'm also wondering is it possible to finish all of my crappy assignments tonight (four of them have to submitted tomorrow) so... I need a break. I seriously need a long holiday because the routine I'm going through every day feels so interminable and I don't even like to do these all. A typography poster says "If you like it, do it. If you don't like it, don't do it." In Bahasa, my response would be, "Ngomong sih gampang" but how if actually this life is possible to be that simple? How if we don't think too much in taking decisions, everything will be much easier and we all can be happier? In the other side, those successful people keep reminding us that a big sacrifice is required to achieve things in the future, which means no matter how exhausting it is or how much we hate doing it, we have to keep going on.

Back to my crazy idea to quit from university.....

The society gets me down. Feel like banishing myself.

Happy Valentine's Day, everyone. I don't feel any ambience of this lovey-dovey celebration this year due to the inhuman amount of assignments and I don't really care actually, haha. I gave homemade pink chocolate sticks to my 30 chosen friends last year and I don't think even for a sec to do that ritual again...

I wore black outfit from top to toe today, by the way.

 Today is also my friend Adrian's 20th birthday. Freaking 20, gosh.... my turn will be next year.

"With Surprise Inside!"

Just like these Kinder Joy eggs, every single week in my life as university student is labeled with that tagline. Every Monday night I'll be wondering in my room, what kind of hell assignment from Studio Studies class I'm going to accept on Monday. The task is like a vague surprise, but the ominous one. How my whole week will be going is a mystery too, I don't know if it will be either hectic, exhausting, fun, boring or dreary. If my old mates asked me to hang out on weekend, my answer would be, "Depends on my assignments."

And here I am, on Monday night, wondering what will be going on this week.

Kaleidoscope

My sister's boyfriend, Aria, gave us this kaleidoscope toy. Uber cool.

 By the way, do you notice that the day / night sky is so damn pretty these days? Supreme blue in the day, and the moon is unusually bright in the night. This evening, the sky color reminds me of grape-orange ice cream scoop with an extra bonus : rainbow. If only I had a capable camera to keep these marvelous views, graaah.
