Back in town

I've been back in Singapore for more nearly a month
And I have been a busy bee
Basically procrastinating my way till now
There is just far too much to do and so little time
And the fact that I'm a tad perfectionist makes it look like a dreadful process
So here I am
When i came back to Singapore it was a drastic change for me, obviously living in England has got me used to the lifestyle there, not to mention the weather.
I mean to upload all of the missing trips and adventures I had in England but uploading photos and having to try to reenact what I've did
and experienced seemed like a long and dreary task to do
So I'll just update about my current experience, in fact a whole new level of experience
No longer am I a student, I'm officially an adult and I'm an junior interior designer!
I know just a month ago i was incredibly worried for my future, whether I'm cut out for the cut throat industry, for all that responsibilities. Nervousness and anxiety got the better of me, and had me drive myself so hard to get my port folio done and go for interviews.
I'm never known for my patience so I had to do something with my life,
as much as munching at home watching films sounds inviting but I can't spend my life doing that, being nothing in the society and doing nothing for myself.
I have so many dreams I want to chase and the first step is always the hardest.
But hey what have i got to lose right?
So i went for a few interviews and now I'm working in a neighborhood firm just 10 mins from my house. I was also terribly ill when I got back which puts a major amount of stress on myself.
My room was incredibly dirty and my tolerance for mess wasn't like what it used to be.
Yea before I got back I just thought this is it, this is what my life has been preparing me for and honestly I was not ready, no one is. You just gotta wing it sometimes and pray for the best.
I say this calmly now, when I was ill it was havoc, i had an interview 3 days after I landed, massive amounts of pressure.
And thankfully I work well under pressure at the expanse of me being ill.
Then it sunk in that I haven't really learned anything in school, not that I took it for granted but I just hadn't really practice with what i've learnt in life.
I always did school work for the sake of school work to get grades, but I love what I did just didn't know how to apply it in real life cause I didn't have the opportunity to.
But now I do and I cherish my intech notes so damn much.
I used to hate intech lessons but now it's so relevant and so useful.
But now i'm revising it to build up my interior knowledge.
Now I've been updating myself on the latest fashion designs that are all so inspiring
Which could be a little worrying, I've been checking out fashion blogs more then architecture and interior blogs, but I draw inspirations from my surroundings even fashion design because it's art, it's how designers express themselves through fabric. Fabric itself has no meaning but when you whisk definition to it it becomes purposeful, develops character it becomes a form of art
