he’s like a mentor
Sunday, December 16th, 2007Having joined the tour to cambodia was a right thing coz i saw the angkor wat, took great pics of it, ate some gross things and met an architect. He’s like a fatherly figure, who asked me to try, to believe in myself and stand up for what i believe in even others try to bring me down, told me never be afraid to take risks ( which i always do…. ), and read alot to learn the fundamentals and the architects….. I’ve never met such a person before, so encouraging… I’ve hit rocks but i’m always the one who console my own self, telling myself to hang in there and i’ll see the sun one day. I always nid 2 stand up for what i think is right and right for me and what i want to do. it may not be the best choice but i take it as a learning experience. If i am not to try now, when wil i ever be? He sort of gave me the courage to do so many things and not afraid to fall down. He reaffirm that i can dream….. and it’s a good thing. He saw so many things that i’ve not seen in life. I hope that i can look in front and not always looking back. Getting a B in Studio 2? It means i nid 2 work harder. it’s an alphabet close to A. So it’s not so far actually. i still have my chances. And i don’t regret at all that i did what i did, i’m still looking for my mark. " Never give up" was what he said to me, and reminding me to be passionate. He made achitecture sounds like a profession like no other. He encouraged me to travel around the world especially europe to look at their architecture, it’s all back to history, you can’t move forward without learning the fundamentals.The last word that he said to me shook me the most. I had mixed feelings about it but it was so true…. It has the most impact.It was what i need to tell myself and it was what i lacked. It’s something that i nid to learn … … I hope to meet him again, like i said, i haven’t seen someone like him before.
