it has been months since im blogging. i tried so hard to catching up with my hectic life. Currently im in final year of my Degree's studies, so pretty much you can estimate & see how my life works. As far as i concerned, i just can't coped well with this one particular subject. i have been having troubles with its assignments since my Foundation. The subject was Design in Architecture. im telling you, this subject is utterly difficult for me to understand and working on it since im not that creative enough to explore and think out of the box, with very short-period of time. feeling like wanted to quit, somehow.
