Presentation at Ole Cafe

We were doing our cafeteria project last semester and my classmate found this Ole Cafe at Changkat Raja Chulan is quite a unique place where this cafe provides space for the artist to work and to display their artpiece.

Since architecture is closely related to art so it came to our lecturer mind that we might be able to have our presentation there instead of our boring lil studio in college.

It was 26/08/08
The place that is provided for our presentation were located at the first floor and we were greeted with these art pieces in the space.








Soon our presentation started at about 10 am with a formal manner.
After the first two presentor ( I'm one of them :P ) the presentation had finally turned out to be like a tutorial session...





It took quite a long time for us to get everyone presented their idea to the lecturer and it is almost 4pm by then ( I guess as I leave early at 3pm)

A design that received good comment from lecturer for our studio

Younger Generation

Just saw a blog of a lil gurl who is still studying in secondary school...

Oh yeah guess what she got?
2 Vaio laptops, Canon DSLR, LV bags, latest handphone model....

WOW!!!
It's all that I could not image that I will own at that time and even now
I wonder are they being spoilt by their parents or it is just the way of the rich lives?

Ok well, I got my laptop, DSLR and handphone now but....
~ I am few years older than her :P
~ the laptop was just a Dell laptop
~ a Sony DSLR which is cheaper than the Canon ( my birthday present from my elder brother )
p/s although I've requested him to give me that but I did not expect that he will give me for real
~ a handphone which dated 2 1/2 years back

And during my brother and sister generation, they have none....

The primary pupils....
even the standard one have their high end handphone
It is hard to imagine what their world will look like in the future

will they be demanding?
will they get matured early and fight against parents all the time?
will they get involved in unhealthy activities? p/s even secondary school children smoke and go clubbing ( I don't even know what clubbing is at that time )

I don't think that the education system and the society here are much help on developing the ability to think and judge in the younger generation on everything that they do

If they could not think and judge in the rightway
I do not think that it is a good thing for them to get expose much on all these and give the freedom at such a young age

Looking Through Devices


OK I'm getting frustruated with this sunglasses that I have to send it back to fix it trice since the day I've bought it and that would be in January this year.

There was once the person broke the lens while tightening it and I've got to wait for 1 week to get it back

Finally, it has chosen to break
break into half after 7 months

Thank god that
I can no longer use it as it is too dark, not friendly to my ear :P and troublesome
Oh my god that
I've got to spend for another sunglasses

And this is what i finally decided to have for RM170
The lens used is a polarised lens which will conceal the unecessary reflection to enhance driving experience



When I first put it on, I was surprise to see things that cannot be seen by our naked eyes
Opss.... it's not supernatural stuff of course

It just that those car UV and heat protection appeared obvious with this sunglasses
Pattern such as polka dots and stripe can be seen and also there were some that will give a reflection of rainbow colour

Perhaps it will make driving not so boring.....?
(Haha)



大约一个月前就被邀请出席这8月16日的回忆童军岁月聚会
要是还在念着Form 6 的我一定会犹豫着到底去不去因为又懒又"闲"的
可是这次却没带着沉重的心情出席这聚会
就带着 " let's see what they have got to offer " 的态度去出席吧

在那就看到了这些好久不见再也熟悉不过的东西


令我想起了三角瞭望台,餐桌,猴子桥, 等得 gadjet.... 好久没绑了。不过现在也不会费时费力的去绑这些东东

五颜六色的领巾... 突然想起我好像都有收藏着好几条吧

还有这个
就是我们这几个活在当年的小瓜
记得当初第一次上课时,黑板上就写着 " 一日童军,一世童军 "
真的有那么semangat吗?
No comment...
只是......
很庆幸现在不用跟什么 " 小服从大" 的规则
means that I can say 'NO' now ..... hehe
better beware!!

ArchiTOTURE Life

Yeah got this from the " I don't need sex, the school of architecture fucks me all the time" group in facebook..
Damn it I don't hate it when people ask me to go and sleep while there are a lot more to do but I do hate it when people are asking " Why do you always do your things during last minute, can't you do it earlier?!!!"
OH GOSH!!! Do you think that I do not want to finish it earlier? I wanted to finish it ASAP but I just can't ....
If you are architecture students you've probably experienced:

- the taste of wood glue-changes in your vocabulary: homework to project, ball to sphere, etc

- you've slept more than 20 straight hours on weekends ( not really 20 hours but definately longer than the normal days )

- you hate people telling you "go to sleep" or "do you still have a lot of work?" ( kinda ok with it, not a big deal)

- you can easily discuss with authority the effects of caffeine on different drinks

- no matter the effort you put in a project, somebody will always say “why don’t you add this? or “why don’t you change this here? or “I think that…but…yeah, its ok? ( WTF !!! when can I stop listening to all that?!!!)

- you’ve heard all your ipod songs in a week-you aren’t seen in public without bags under your eyes ( Yeah !! been in the same family with the PANDAS )

-whenever you get invited somewhere, it is followed by “or do you have a lot of homework? ( it just keep on reminding me on the work, DAMN !!! )

-you’ll dance YMCA with a choreography without a drop of alcohol in your system ( yeah going to be insane soon )

-you write down a quick message with rapidographs, lead holders, markers and ink

-you constantly make up excuses for courses that are not design related why you didn’t do your work ( it's normal )

-you have more pictures of landscapes and places than of people

-your worst nightmare consists of not finishing a project ( worst worst nightmare !!! )

-someone once called you “lazy? and you wanted them murdered ( get them murdered in the most shortest time possible !!! )

-you can live without human contact, sunlight, food, but if your plotter’s ink runs out… chaos!!! ( I'm going NUTS when it happens )

-when somebody lends you a Bic pen you look down at it ( haha ... true espeacially the 'A' 'B' 'C' eraser ... just don't understand how they can use things like that ... it's just not meant for human )

-you don’t care about sports cars, your favorite car is the one where you can put in your model and your huge computer

-you design spectacular things without the idea of the cost-you have the modern mark: a blister in your palm’s hand for the constant use of your mouse ( cutting scars )

-everybody tells you how they admire your work, “but there is no money for it?"

-you’ve gained the ability to sleep in whatever surface: pencils, keyboards, backpacks, your studio mates, food, etc

-you always have the idea that your project will always be recognized

-when you finally have free time to go out you keep thinking “who was the idiot that designed the restaurant’s bathroom? “who designed this menu? or “who designed this [chair, table, lighting, fork, etc] ( yeah had gone insane, mad, nuts )

-you've been at many sunrises, yet you've never seen one-you need to read all this in a facebook group to realize how weird your life is
