Life is finally hitting on the right track. My daily routine now is so unbelievably hectic & packed with a crazy amount of workload. Still keeping to my 5 times a week gym sessions, and no matter how tight my schedule gets I’m gonna make it happen. Time management is key. I really love my new job, new colleagues and I had a slight panic attack the day before my first day at work. Part-time jobs are different. I can’t disclose much but I’m now working on a residential 30+ storey project that pretty challenging for a fresh grad. I had a chat with the project manager, he said I want you to run even before you learn how to walk. That pretty much sums it up right. Someday I will make a great architect, and the past couple of days has really helped boost my confidence that this is my lifetime passion.
Sitting in a room filled with clients throwing tantrum, and I quietly observed making remarks in my head. 
I think its important to be observant when you’re starting out, and I love my job. This experience would definitely benefit my Masters in the long run, and one of my main reason when I took up this job was because I get to dabble with interior design. It’s such a pity that people tend to underestimate the depth and knowledge about interior works (everyone thinks they know interior furnishing lol) but the true art of it lies in the power to design something that caters to everyone not just your own preference. To understand the importance of spatial qualities paired along visual beauty. No point having a pretty home if you feel like you’re in a hotel right. It’s just not ‘home’.

Latest addition to my shoe collection, major steal! Got ‘em from Myers. I miss walking in killer heels so much that I’ll do that tomorrow. 
I’d be a staggering 5″8 tomorrow.
I’m surprisingly happy. Honestly I was worried that work would take up so much of my time, so much that I wouldn’t have time for anything else. The boyfriend is awesome because he’s been so supportive about my work, and I promised to make him proud. Kick ass if I have to, but my main goal is to fully utilize what I’ve learned and keep learning. I think one of the most important thing I’ve picked up over the past couple of days, the importance to find a common ground. Find similarities, not differences. Anyway, so much more to learn. I’m a little upset but motivated cause my dad’s not feeling so well & to be honest I’m worried. Trying to remember his lessons about my strengths and weaknesses in design, and I really want to give him a peace of mind. Parents work so hard to get you ‘there’.
Now, the sky is my limit.
I’m saving up to travel, I want to see the world (without my parents).
Who knows, someday I might be designing your home.
Actually I can do that now, but hold that thought!
