It was so sad that Blogger has been blocked. Although we got new way to get into blogger, there is no photo uploader. Photobucket was not running well, I met problems uploading photos. Thus, pictures will not be uploaded until I went back to Singapore.
Sorry for any inconvenience.
Today DID and DXPD headed to design firm and show flats.
It was so amazing that we saw SUBWAY in China, and finally, couldn’t help to go in and get a sandwich. It was the first time I order SUBWAY meal in Chinese, quite stressed. The server there is quite impolite, made me annoyed. I was quite disappointed with China SUBWAY, the service, and they don’t have Hearty Italian and they never toast the bread.
First stop we went to an advertisement design firm – 180一捌零. This company was pretty cool with their advertisement, their design was actually interesting. The idea and the way they express it.
Second stop we went to a show flat called the Fifth Country. It was designed by American Architects and Designers. The show flats are very excessively decorated and heavy, to me, hmmm, well, in another word, it is not my style. They looked British, luxury British Style.
The last stop we went to E-graphics, they do graphic design. The introducer is from France. He roughly made a presentation, how I wish he would introduce more about their design. LOL

32nd DAY
We presented the basic ideas of the plan, still experimenting.
For this stage, just work on it. AutoCAD drawings still need to modify and improve. Mr J Ho suggested us to design a “tetris” staircase as we actually got nothing to detail on.
Oh, what a difficult task, to me.
Days to submission left on 6 days excluding this Friday, I couldn’t imagine what would the rest of the days look like.
After lunch, there was a talk by a Professor.
I spent the 2 hours talk sleeping in the hall. I couldn’t help it with only 3 hours sleep this morning.
After the talk I asked for the lecture note and we had some conversation.
The professor thought that the association of ideas the very important to students, students should be taught to be creative most importantly. Student should be taught of that in school. As that is the selling point for designers. Nowadays, the education of design is more on project base. Most of the time we are rushing for projects, like what the professor said, when they are doing projects, they will absent for tutorial. Tutorial period to her is actually about communicating, we might not need to talk about project, but everything. She thought that the thinking mind and problem solving are being taught through conversation.
Project, sometimes kills students thinking minds, as we need to rush for submissions, and production period actually take more times to do.
Most of the time, I’m rushing, most of the time I was unsure what I was doing for my project. When I try to recall what I have done about the project, I found that I couldn’t remember anything.
Design is supposed to be fun and interesting isn’t it. Yea, it is, but I don’t have much time to enjoy it. Or is 3 years course too short?
After that we went to indoor stadium to play badminton, 2 hours of running, playing badminton. It was fun.

31st DAY
Day was served with sun shine and strong wind.
Nice. Quite cooling.
My favourite.
Tomorrow was interim review of the week.
Yet, a lot of things still in progree and unsure.
I felt very nervous of it already yet I was super tired as the previous days was slept very late and no nap in the afternoon at all.
Well.
Thus at night I chose to work on project with another group, Jamie and JiaMin. More people work together made me awake.
at least more thing to talk about.
Jonathan and Anglia went down 2 times for break.
3AM, sun started to rise and I never notice until 430AM. The dawn was not that nice to me, as the blue was sad one, no gradient, no any yellowish or reddish with it. It was not cheerful.
Or in another way to say, I was too tired to enjoy the dawn, my mood at that time was totally shut down. It's actually nothing deal with the innocent sky, I know the sky did not mean to be that colour or it might be cheerful to all people in the world but me. Whatever. It was just a sky.
I slept at 5AM, 3D was not yet done. -.-

30th DAY
Nothing much for these two days.
Whole day working on projects. I started to miss my mum and dad again, wondering why they didn't call me.
Yet, it was amazingly they called me after my wonder.
I wonder they could hear my wish that wishing them to call me?
Then would they know that how much I missed them? I guess they would.
That was why they called me.
I told myself pretty confidently. They missed me, as much as I missed them.
I was in charge with the 3D modeling while Alice is doing the AutoCAD drawing.
Actually I found myself quite self-centered, especially discussing about ideas. I wish I did not torture her too much. I wish she will not be unhappy working with me.

29th DAY
Morning was actually planned to play badminton at the outdoor stadium. After one round of warming up by jogging, the wind was too strong to play badminton. Quite upset, thus three of us decide to have a walk in campus. We explore new place and walk around. In the end I bought KBJR again .
Back to my room. Time to do work. Sad. Seems like the time left for project is getting lesser and lesser..... omg
and I wonder why my shoulder and leg is getting more and more painful. I guessed it was because of the Bungee yesterday, as I was tied up and being thrown away and pull back quite forcibly.
Thus I didn't join the guys to play badminton at night.
I wait for them to come back and have dinner together. Quite fun that we had our dinner along the corridor that night. Lok Kok Team was created in that way. HAHA
At night I was quite unintelligibly want to drink green bean soup, at around 12AM. My dear roomate surprisingly agree with my idea. Thus we had green bean soup for supper. Honeymooners had a small small gathering in my room at that late night. haha, it was hard to see gathering in my room as my room seems the smallest one in student condo. But well, I was quite happy for that.
Sleep at 3AM. Finishing my plan of a chair.

28th DAY
Finally, We are blessed with nice weather on weekends. Usually weekends will be rainy days. Thus, Honeymooners decided to go to XingHai Square where we had been thinking of it quite long time ago. Alice and Amanda was not joining us, what a regret.
We had Yoshinoya brunch in 兴工街 as we had the promotion voucher. The beef bowl is nice. I felt the Yoshinoya feel to me is much better than Singapore one. Then we took the tram to XingHai Park. It was pretty cool to have a chance to ride on it, yet regretful as it was very congested and the skill of the driver did not seems to be good that make us feel dizzy on tram.
Soon we reached XingHai Park, we were so happy to ride on the 摩天轮, it has been a long long time I never ride on that. yet the sound of it when it worked is scaring us, it makes me felt I would fall down anytime. What a special experience. After that we saw a Bungee game nearby, it looked pretty exciting which being thrown up and pulled down. I was thinking of trying it. In the end I was bit regret, especially when I was tied up and hang on the air. I started to scream. The more time the guy doing the tension thing and trying to throw me higher, the louder I scream. It was very scary, being thrown away. It was very painful, being pull back. I tried it 3 times and my leg was shaking crazily. I couldn’t even walk after I came down.
After that we walked all the way to the huge book in XingHai Square. It was a huge curve slope structure for people to play on it. Simple yet fun. We stayed there for quite a long time. Doing a lot of stunts. Try to jump on the slope, posed some letters like “DID”, “LOVE” and “YAY.” And so on. Pretty fun.
When we went back to Xing Gong Jie, we went to Carrefour and had our dinner in KFC. I tried their new product – French Beef Pentagon.

27th DAY
I spent my whole day in Discovery Kingdom.
I woke up at 7.30AM preparing sandwiches for Honeymooners. Jonathan was in charge of the Jam Bread. We also have Qoo Drink for everyone. Nice yea!
Leave student condominium at 9am, reaching Discovery Kingdom at 1015am. My mood suddenly get so exciting for it. WHOO!!!
There are over 26 games in Discovery Kingdom, most of them is rotating 360 degree, either horizontal, vertical or both. Thus, since the first game I’ve been rotating up and down, left and right. It was quite an interesting experience yet a bit dizzy also.
The games I liked most is Space Shot and Viking, it was the only game I wanted to try the second time.
Endless Screaming when I rode on Roller Coaster. Sharon was sitting beside me, making me more nervous than excited. Haha, well, both of us enjoyed screaming. We spent more than one hour just queue for the Roller Coaster, A bit wasting time just for queuing.
The most regretful part was I didn’t get to ride on the “Desert Storm” as the amount of people has to reach 30 to get the ride.
5pm it was time to go back, I was exhausted. Cooking dinner by myself.

26th DAY
Interim Review was on schedule as usual. Today’s presentation seems a bit unsure. Everything seems still in progress. Brain seems still not working.
I started to get nervous as the deadline is approaching real fast.
After the interim review, it was time for lunch as usual.
After lunch, there was a talk as usual.
It was a talk by Professor Lim, about Brand Design and Graphic Design. There was a translator for today’s talk. Not bad right? Yet, the translation was … very cute.
3 minutes of explaining with the powerpoint silde in Chinese, end up with translation by the cute lady “This work…..this work..is done by our Professor Lim”
After the talk, DID was gathering up, heading out to 兴工街 to have dinner, also celebrating EeLaine’s birthday which is on Wednesday. We went to a SteakHouse. Finally, I had western food. Finally……
The Sirloin Steak was not bad, the way they served was 40% similar with Pepper Lunch. When ordering it, it was quite difficult for me to tell them I want it medium rare. How they named the level of cooked is 50%, 70%, 80% and 90%. Thus, I just about to say it 50%. I guess medium rare should be around 50%.
After the dinner, we had ice cream for dessert.
Then we went to Wal-mart nearby to shop for food. Tomorrow we were going to Discovery Kingdom. Thus we got to buy something to prepare for tomorrow’s meal.
