prelude to la casa

at last i finished my portfolio. hopefully it will get me a good job. but i don't really care. i like and take photographs but i don't want to be a photographer. i like and read theory but i don't want to teach anyone. i like and do design but then i am still not sure whether i really want to be one.

i like to say that "i wanna be an artist", in all vagueness of what it actually means to be an artist. surely not the painting one, nor the singing and dancing one. but really, i just want to go home and soak up in the hazy atmosphere.

i feel that i may be too afraid to take this next step. what use are dreams when the future looks uncertain?

i hate being philosophical but, uncertainty is beauty in a twisted way. you never know whats coming at you.

Oh... um, does this mean I have to rethink possibly asking you to be the photographer at my wedding? That's too bad...

... but if you change your mind, or if you just want to do a friend a favour...

Kish is right. You never know. We'll never know. But all the best anyways :)

I'd love to crap more but I've got patients waiting. Urgh.

Kish:

hm. actually i agree with you Kish. i revel in it to the point that nothing shocks me anymore.

i believe my issue is how i deal with uncertainty ... that i am not serious enough in my so-called endeavour. and it doesn't bother me that i still don't have my future figured out yet, when in reality this future is only weeks away.

Nat:

hey i would love to take photos of your wedding. definitely. the question is when? and where?

Flutterby:

hehe. don't keep them waiting too long.

not knowing is bliss ;p

yeah, totally, nothing surprises me anymore. well almost. in my case, my life is predictable. and tedious. as well as ultimately boring.

matter of weeks? really. that is scary. are u going for internship or are u waiting for your results or are u graduating?

kinda, yes, and kinda.

i'm waiting for my results, which comes out in four days (shit). also sorta graduating in two weeks. and while i'm not actually going for an internship, i do have to work next year.

my life is a little dull now too. i'm bored.

My brother's gf is doing archi. I think she graduated some time ago, but now it seems she's back in college again. Said something about phase 2, 3 and 4 and only then you're a 'real' architect?

Someone did mention to me once that archi is a pretty long course.

Enlighten me please?

i will try my best to keep it simple

different schools have different structures in terms of how many years of study is required, and whether practical experience is required to "complete" the architectural degree.

you see, for me, though i am graduating, i am not yet graduating as someone who can qualify as an architect.

and so, i have to work next year, and return to uni to complete my fourth and fifth year. and then i will finally graduate with a bachelor of architecture.

but that isn't the end of the story. in malaysia, a recognized degree would only satisfies three phases of the professional requirements. a few more years of experience, and only then i can register as an architect.

phew.

Oh whee. That's quite a long way to go. No, that IS a long way to go. But I reckon you'll soar. Same to you Kish.

Thanks for the intelligible piece of information :)

Not confirmed, but possibly early 2008. In Australia.
