obstacles can be a spectacle.
so it's about 5th odd week on internship.
and i'm seriously having a major obstacle.
no, not bout the report or log book. which i honestly can tell u is still blank.
but it's more on the assignment i'm on.
well, john ong told me that he mainly wanted to see what how i could revamp the store's layout. i told him honestly at the start of it all about my amount of knowledge regarding that specific areana, or the major majorrr lack of it. he didn't mind. and i thought, if he didn't mind, then why worry right? hop on the wagon and be challenged! problem is, i'm really dimwitted on the architectural realm.
yes, i do know some stuff of drips and drapes. and he said it's fine with generic plans. but generic plans won't do cos then, it wouldnt be thought out which would mean the proposed plans will fail through! geddit? and it's hard that he's not around. so i've gotta work with jon mah.
not that he's bad or anything. it's pretty cool actually. just that i'm 'fraid of mis-communications and then screw up. cos john ong was looking at genericals. and john mah was looking at specifics.
i'm meeting jon mah tmr at noon. i hope the discussions work out fine. cos by right, i'm to show them the final ones tmr. i hope he can decide on one and i'll work through the weekend to draw them nicely and show john ong when he returns. i'll be showing john ong the log book too. since he needs to sign all the crap before my liason officer comes in.
my current position is sucha love/hate. i love it till hell cos i get to do whatever i want with no restrictions and there's always tonnes of room for negotiations and reasoning. and they're always ready to hear what u have to say. i bet that's not easily available elsewhere.
what i hate is just that cos of what i love, the reports and log book-ing is quite a hassle. cos technically, i'd be lying my pants off. then again, i didn't get a thorough briefing. so what i'm gon' put down is what i think is right. which could be not lying in the end.
word of the day. H-U-R-R-R-HHH!!!!
so andre came home. and it was bliss meeting up again. i can't wait to jetset with him, whenever that day will ever come. i think it'd be fun. i hope whatever that's cropped up between us before he left would not come back again. it was really a pain.in.the.damnnn.ass! anyway. he's to go for pre-internship training coming monday. which REALLY sucks. cos i doubt i'd be meeting up with him at all. gees whiz. ((ha, long time since anyone used that huh!__))
anyway. it's the sacrifice ppl's gotta make to get the so-called bright future. speaking of this whole learning thanng. i just saw this article from ICON magazine.
(( __ DESIGN EDUCATION IS BULLSHIT __ ))
how so very true! think bout it. how can design be taught and evaluated with grades? would it be real design when u have none of the supposed training of it? i mean, yes, u can go for training/courses in sewing, technical drawings, model-makings and what not. but how in the world can u fuckken teach design! HA! it so proves my point that i've had in many yrs. call it foundation, call it building, call it stepping stones or what not! look at ya dammned graduation showcases (all design schools apply). dont u find them just mere replicates between each other?! where/when do u see those that blow in ur face. which is what design WAS.
lemme just lean back and take a laugh at all ya fools!
bahhhhh.
christy the great.
i like nonsense
i love tangle
