Dark Window


Sunday morning, I woke up from the cold air sneaking into my room through the corner of my window. I turned the clock towards me…Ahhh, almost 10:45. Another cold and depressing Sunday has started.

Section, elevation, perspective drawings, model, urban context, and building construction… My little friends came to say ‘morning’ to me as soon as I open my eyes. “Hey, morning. Just give me several minutes to wake up ok? Then I’ll go to play with you guys.” I sat up and stared at my drafting table. The half-done elevation drawing is complaining to me that I haven’t given her a nice looking outfit yet. I opened my curtain for a gap to see through it. As I expected, there’s no sunshine. Everything looks dead. I’m not color blind, but things outside my window seems like a picture that has been switched to grey scale in Photoshop.

My close someone is taking a shower. That means I can still stay in my bed for another 10 minutes. I swing my head back into the pillow and pull the blanket over it. It’s Sunday anyway…

I went to a lecture given by a black bird architect last Friday. He said, the most important thing during design process is to make the project complete. Even if you don’t like your design, make it to the end and give it a complete personality. So, I’m struggling on the way of completing the project. One more week, it’ll be a new ‘independent person’.

I believe the color will be back to the dark window. Just be patient, and keep hoping.

Oh, hun. I like your alliteration of drafting components as 'little friends'. Its almost as cute as the little mushroom-head people in your dream the other night... hei hei hei...
