We are innocent

Today, again, a stressful day i have, or maybe a stressful day we (our class) have.

Are we slow in progress? Yes, we hardly showed our lecture the things and the progress that he wants today. But, it is not final submission. We have the effort to do our works better, but we were not allowed due to the terms of time, energy and spirit. We are taking design studio, working drawing, autocad 3D and communication which are recognised to be the tough subjects that bring loads of works and followed on by stress. Everyday, we attend to class, having classes until 4pm (haven't counted in the stayback time), with only 1 HOUR break time. That is 1/3 of the entire day . Then, we back to home to continue our works for at least 4hrs. That is at least 1/6 of the entire day . The time maker, how much time is still left for us to live a normal life? To sleep for 3 hours at night is normal situation for us. Unconciously, we become superman.

We were aimed to be scolded. We were being compared with the other group that doesn't need to take autocad 3D, communication and working drawing. It is truth that they can do and show their works faster and better. I don't argue this point, and i don't dislike them (of course i am not offending them), yet i am very impressed by some of them. Anywhere, without trying to understand our difficult situation, our lecturer told us to try being more motivative, competitive, and try to build up some "kia su" (scared lost; from Singapore) characteristic in between our classmates. Well, it is also a truth that there is less "kia su" and competitive situation in our class which contributes to the existing harmony and happy situation in our class now. No need to be "kia su" what. We understand what we need, what we don't, who we should be, how we shouldn't be. We are "a happy family".

Maybe there comes the controversion in term of lack of time, maybe there is no point for me to argue about in term of time. Yes, we may actually spend our time VERY PROPERLY and EFFECTIVELY and ACCURATELY to get our works done in time perfectly. If we do, that means we spend the whole time of everyday for our assignments or projects. Well, i think, we then lose the meaning of life, the purpose of life. On the other hand, i am thin enough (internationally recognised), i don't want to sacrifice my health in doing such "superman-istic" JOB.

A design class lecturer is always "expected" to be very subjective. "That is good, well done!" , that means you are good? Beauty lies on the beholder. Anywhere, valuation needs to be reasonable, making sense and satisfying to the utmost people.

**This blog may be offensive, but it is my blog to suit the purpose i am here today-- releasing stress. Thank you very much for reading this sinful blog.**

Reality is revealed more, innocents are everywhere, i see more. Anywhere, we are good enough if we have done our best. Life goes on, i step forward. And, smile ^_^ .
