As any other nights during my semester break, I was chatting on KSCB when suddenly a random new chatter called “Yi” came in. Someone commented that she is very good in drawing and surprisingly my brain immediately sent signals to my hand to click on her link without actually giving me enough time to consider that it might contain harmful viruses or she might hack me (CK was right, I have a phobia towards being hacked!). To my surprise, she is not only good in drawing, but also hot! OK I’m not a lesbo so let’s not get into it.

I spent some quiet time reading her blog and eventually found out that she is an architecture student. HOLA! A rush ran through my brain again and I clicked on her “Architetcure” category. 20 posts on Architecture! At first, I was having a hard time going through her architecture projects’ photos! Seeing all the drawings of her proposed buildings and her presentations. OMG! I don’t actually remember the terms anymore! I was having a hard time because it reminded me of my past. The nightmares of getting only 3 or 4 hours of sleep everynight and spent 2 weeks working on a single project, in a group.

I scrolled down some more and found some interesting pics of her in Germany. OK I don’t know why I am actually writing about her and her blog but I just feel like writing it because she actually made me think back so much of the memories that I have long forgotten. I used to study architecture, fyi. I have a diploma in Building Architecture. But I abandoned it. The certificate is just merely a paper for me now because it does not make me anything.

In one of her photos, where she was standing in front of the Bahaus Architecture School, I actually stopped and rewinded the good old memories where I studied the History of Architecture, my favourite paper of the whole course! Yi said “The architecture students would know what building the first one is, immediately” and I was so proud of myself. I beamed at myself. Well, I’m no longer an architecture student but at least I was.

Right now I have the urge to actually go dig back up my drawings in the store room. Even though they suck but I just think that it’s nice to reminisce on the bad and good old days  once in a while (the lecturer used to like my drawings so much he used to say that I’m one of the top students who can actually draw =p).

I have long forgotten how it was like studying architecture.. forgotten how I used to have a scale ruler too and how it was to use the T-Square.. ahh and that set of rulers which I have forgetten the name. The ones with 60º and 90º. Can anyone enlighten me please? And.. the days where we used to borrow each other’s musking tapes, not forgetting that we always mistaken each other’s musking tapes as our own. The essential mechanical pencil and the very important eraser shield and board brush to keep our drawings neat and clean all the time. How it was like to design using the AUTOCADD… Ohh and how it was like to cut our fingers by accident while slicing the cardboards for models. Ouch!

I will.. one day I will.. take out the drawings that I drew.. and all the architorture architecture tools that I used to treasure so much. Not today, not tomorrow.. maybe another day…. as I need to go get my beauty sleep now at 4am.

Signing off. Tata!
