Dictorship of Exact Time

I finally received my new watch in the mail today ...

I know you're wondering why am i blogging about a watch ... it is not just because its one spunky watch but i loved the designer's whole idea and philosophy that is behind the design of this watch.

this watch is a rare vintage 'Tian Harlan' chromochron watch designed in the late 60s, early 70s ... Tian Harlan designed this watch not to be read by numbers but instead by a colour wheel whereby each colour represents an one hour time frame. It has been designed to not give you the exact time but instead to give you an approximated time.

The reasoning ...

Tian Harlan believed that people put too much emphasis on time and see his watch as the 'anti-stress watch' freeing us from the 'dictatorship of exact time.'

After reading up on the concept for his design i was just so fascinated and in love with the idea, as it made me realise that i myself place so much emphasis on time ... time has been factored into everything i do or plan to do which in the end only just restricts me from doing any of it.

I knew i just had to have this watch that freed us from the dictatorship of exact time ...

TIME TO WORK

3 months going onto 4 months into the year and I have finally found myself a job.

am i ready to get back into the workforce? no.

am i excited about my new job? i think so.

fingers crossed all goes well and eventually a career would come out of it further down the track but in the mean time i shall test the waters and see how i like it.

on other news ...

it has been about 6 weeks since returning from my overseas trip and i am already feeling nostalgic! i miss the freedom, i miss the atmosphere of asia, i miss the cheap food, the cheap and efficient transport! I MISS IT ALL!

i wish everyday was a holiday ... i guess its even more of a motivation for me to work hard this year, spend less and save more for my next trip! hehe time to start doing my research on my next destination! yay!

until then its time to work ...

2008 - a new year a new start

Another year has gone by just like that and it really scares me how fast time is passing by!

The year 2007 has been a quick yet rather stressful year and i am glad that it is over ... no more uni, no more late night "studying", no more essays all of that is now in the past and i can finally move on from all that. Five years of studying is five years way too long, which has now finally come to an official end.

I now actually have to think about what i want to do and am no longer sheltered from the endless years of studying but instead i must ease myself into the reality of being part of the full time workforce. Which makes me wonder if i've secretly been extending and wasting time at uni just to avoid the day that i will have to actually grow up and get a "real job".

Although i'm scared about finding a job and deciding on a career path i am at the same time extremely excited about it all ... I am no longer restricted by my studies which means i have more freedom to try new things out!

I will not tie myself down to any new years resolutions because we all know that anyone rarely keeps them i definately don't ...

2008 is a new year, a new start and i am confident it will be a great year ...

TO CUT OR NOT TO CUT THAT IS THE QUESTION ...

i am always in a major dilemma when it comes to the summer time ... and that is whether i should cut my hair or not ... hehe

so the time has now come again and i'm at that stage of wanting to go and chop all my hair off but then a part of me is holding back because it has taken me 2 years to grow it out!

people have life crisis and major issues in their lives and i'm here fussing over my hair ... =?

so to cut or not to cut???

=(

FINGERS CROSS THIS WILL BE THE END OF UNI ...

i had my last exam today and it calls for a celebration!

so now i am free until december 19th when i get my semester results which will tell me whether or not i get to graduate! i'm not confident that i have passed all my exams so we will just wait and see ... fingers crossed it all goes well otherwise its back to uni for another semester! arghhh

anyways i now i have time to spare and figured i should dedicate some time to this very muchly abandoned blog! i blame uni and FACEBOOK! =)

don't worry its summer time ... hopefully i will fill it up with some exciting stuff meh we'll see! haha

until then ... i am going to get some much needed sleep (oh lies i'm gna go face book now!)

SHOW SOME LOVE

wow it has been quite some time since i've updated this blog!

well in my defence i was without internet access for TWO LONG MONTHS so really it wasn't my fault! But then again nothing has been happening much of late so really i had nothing to blog about anyway!

So a quick update??

Semester 1 uni ended ...
On my one month holiday which is heading to a near end ...
I passed all my units ...
Oh and i will be flying to osaka for a week on saturday! i guess thats some pretty big news ...

so i shall upload some pretty osak piccies when i get back so until then ....
