Reward Award!

Three months prior the board exam, I bet you still feel good, on the pace of reviewing, still sane despite the long hours. Wait for a few more weeks, especially when you get your permit, you might be starting to panic? Sleeping late? Over-study yourself?

Don’t forget that you still have a life other than studying. You still can go out with friends once in awhile, eat at your favorite restaurant or even watch a movie. Never punish yourself by studying 24/7 just because you only have a few months away!

Thankfully this is one thing Mikki and I do together! Almost everyday after review, we would either eat super good food or watch a movie at home. Cheap budget-friendly things only!! Since I resigned from work and Mikki took a 4-month leave… Therefore, we had no budget for splurging on food or going out for shopping to distress ourselves. (Haha!)

Web Review: Must See Guides for Interior Design

The website, Pulptastic, is more like 9Gag but more like an article reading website than only images. They more or less ask other people to contribute random article for the site.

Fortunately, one contributor shared an article all about interior design entitled " 37 Must See Cheats That Will Help You in Your Next Home Interior Project." The writer shared more or less a Pocket Decorator Guide, basic information and tool about interior decorating. 

Here are some of its content...

Remembering, Not Forgetting



Yesterday was the start of the 4-month long leave of Mark, my officemate.He has decided to take the Interior Design Board Examination this coming October!


To give him a bit of good luck, I lent him some of my notes from my last year’s review that is mostly reading materials and other visual materials. I’m hoping that it would help him during the review. I also gave him more practical advice and tips in reviewing and preparing for the board exam.
Even now thinking about the board exam, I can still remember all the feelings and experiences like it was just yesterday, reviewing and preparing for almost five exhausting months for the exam. It took a lot of investment such as energy, emotions, mind, faith and money, just to be able to prepare properly and pass the examination.
