Architecture is a demanding course.To do just one plate for example, one has to spend a lot of time and effort.

Others may think that this course is merely simple designing and drawing, but the real score is, drawing and designing requires many considerations, a lot of thinking, and patient researches.

To be able to come up with great plate, I usually spend so much time to it. Sometimes I begin to work in the afternoon and finish the project in the early morning. It really requires much sacrifice to stay up late and with only little or, no sleep at all.

It is however very frustrating when, after the tedious process, your work will sometimes be returned with a note that says: “this needs more improvement”, or worst, it is rejected.

This happened to me once. Fortunately all of my other plates, which were all done after so much stress and sleepless nights, got good grades. All my sacrifices then paid off. The compliments I also received from my professors and classmates gave me enough inspiration, feelings of joy, and of contentment.

Architecture indeed is a very demanding course, yet great source of fulfillment and pride.

Having said the above, I can still further conclude that Architecture is, after all, light and fun. It is in fact like game to be played.

One plays because he likes to play and be challenged. No one forces us to play. We lay because we want to enjoy and win. In this process, we give all our best during the game is over and we succeeded, all the hard work becomes just an experience, a learning happy experience!

Architecture is just that…a game and a challenge. Students, who are not forced to take the course, can in fact enjoy its challenges. Then they will have heart to give their best, and wither all its difficulties. Success will therefore be close, and the closing will be great.

Anyone of us therefore can play the game that the most architects in the country have played. then we can rip success. Most of all, we can help make our country a better place to live in. Welcome hardworking yet playful architects!
