31.1.2010 Graduation Ceremony

2010-02-04T15:39:00.001+08:00

The day I'm officially graduated

Photos?

Nop. I didn't take any. No motivation of doing so. Go visit people's album in facebook

Angkor What!? I mean...Angkor Wat.

2010-02-04T14:49:00.004+08:00

This blog is kind of abandoned, huh?

Days are passing fast, yet I still have so much to prepare for my tertiary studies in Melbourne. Gosh, just 7 working days away from leaving!

I know, "How was the Cambodia trip?", "Where are the pictures?", "What's the feeling of leaving soon?" and etc...

Sorry for those who are waiting, I'm really busy currently, and have not much time touching and arranging the photos.. I spent 15 minutes to tone-map 2 HDR to you guys though.

The famous sunrise view of course.

This is the sunset of Angkor Wat. The whole thing is soaked in gold colour

Well, it was really breathtaking when visiting for the first time. The sunrise was owkay, the sun was not in a very good mood I guess. Personally prefer the sunset view of Angkor Wat... The details on the surface are just so wasted to be covered by shadow in the early morning.

One more thing, do not too believe in the Angkor Wat's pictures from Flickr. Most of them are highly photoshopped, which will bring a slight feeling of "overrated" when you witness yourself.

But, it's really amazing when you think of how the heck did those people equipped with such skillful carving technique!?

The Penang of January 26th, 2010

2010-01-27T16:35:00.003+08:00

I had been enjoyed and love the weather of Cambodia during December and January, which average only 27-30 Celsius during noon time. Spending 8 days there, my mind was totally occupied by fear of thinking the weather back in Penang...

I have so much to tell you, to share with you about the trip. But first, the weather in Penang surprised me!

The time I opened my eyes, it was the after rain time.

The moment I stepped down from the bus, what welcomed me was the double rainbow slided through the sky....

I just can't believe my eyes, the weather was cooling, and everything seems gonna be alright...

I turned my head back, a great scene like below, made me fall in love with my hometown again, and wondering how much I gonna miss this land when I leave to Australia...

Coffee addiction

2010-01-07T13:37:00.002+08:00

I think, I'm addicted to coffee again.

10 minutes ago, I was all mad yelling and screaming, after I found out there was no more coffee in the house.

Now I'm enjoying slowly, sipping it with joy. It was all great after I found another heavy coffee addict (my mum) left half packet of her favorite Old Town White Coffee on the dining table.

I shall be out in a while, and remembering to buy one of my favorite white coffee, by The Cup. It's easily recognised, as it is being well packaged in plain cyanic blue colour.

Don't tell me about Nescafe. They are purely Sux.

01.01.2010 PAINTBALL

2010-01-07T08:02:00.000+08:00

Okay, the very late post of what was we doing, on the very first day of 2010.

This post is plainly cheated. I'm writing this...Let see...8.03am, 7th of January, 2010.

Woolala!

Anyway, about 1st day of January, 2010.

First time went to play paintball, it was awesome. There were some pros from the other teams. Glad that won 1 match out of 4, HAHA.

I was joining for fun, and it was seriously fun, but don't know why Ezra so looking into winning and kick ass. Anyway, what he got was double dose of pain.

Amazingly, I only got a painful shot on my hand, near my wrist. That was it.

2nd match. I got directly on my head!

Overall, it was an expensive game, but fun!

So wanna play again!

Final post of 2009 (HELLO 2010)

2009-12-31T23:59:00.000+08:00

2009 soon going to become a year of "was". Everything that happened in the year of 2009, good or bad, it gonna be all pasts.

Before it really comes to and end, I would like to leave some words here, at least, one day, I know how was my 2009 was.

In this year, I finally finished the 3 years length of Diploma in Architecture. I'm thankful that, this year is meaningful to me, in this course. Only on the 3rd year of this course, I finally knowing what I'm doing all the while, with directions. I started to gain control of things. All of these thanks to the helpful tutors, course mates, of course, the 2 months of internship in SAA played a critical role on my growth. Although the final year's boost failed to helped on my final outcome (CGPA-Grade B is a fail to me), I have no one to blame for having clumsy foundation during the 1st 2 years. Ahead will be facing new place, new life, and new challenges. Of course I wish it gonna be great and fun.

And....Secondly...I think this will be the final big stuffs that I'm thankful of as well, which is, finally, after almost 3 years of complication status, I'm saying bye bye to single and complicated status. I'm greatly thankful, because long distance relationship is not easy, and it gonna remain the same, for another few years. We both pray that it gonna be good by building our relationship in God's hands. Well, of course there were elders telling me things like "Young people, do not make decision so fast..." and bla bla bla. Partly those words had provoked me to challenge the impossible. Of course, I do love her, that's the very 1st thing. But, relationship is not something that you should bear with the attitude of "cuba-cuba" or "lets have sex 1st, and see afterwards".

Owkay, Last but not least, to blame or to praise, I wish 2009 will be a year that everyone appreciates.

Happy 2010 in advance for 1 minute

(Post date and time configuration is awesome)

Go, and help your parents, you lazy bastards!

2009-12-29T21:15:00.003+08:00

To those already back to their hometown and enjoying their holiday, I'm wondering, besides sticking the face in front of the computer or shaking legs, have you really helped out on household chore?

If you haven't help on any, quickly go and do some. It might be troublesome to you, but you will found a lot of tiny surprises.

I just encountered the biggest surprise so far....

There was two 10bucks notes and a 5 bucks note inside the washing machine. Of course, then it became mine.

Surprise~

2009-12-28T02:02:00.003+08:00

Too many things happened since after I came back Penang Island, and they were all good. 1st of all, Happy Holiday to everyone, and Merry belated Christmas to all of you, wish you all had been greatly blessed.

See the picture? See the pretty girl on the left? She is Joyce Tan, and she is my girl friend, started from December 18th, 2009 (finally, after almost 3 years). This picture were taken near the side entrance of Gurney Plaza on Christmas Day itself. We just came out from the cinema.

Semester 6, Studio 4's Presentation Board

2009-12-28T01:46:00.002+08:00

Yup, this was what I had for the final crit.

Anyway, I got B for studio. Definitely not happy, because I tried very hard, for the A.

But to be honest, Studio 4 is the most enjoyable studio ever. Well, that's for me.

But....Really fuck the B lah! 3 subjects, this one spoiled the hat trick.

A night of Midas

2009-12-28T01:01:00.003+08:00

It was the night before I left KL.....

The place I stayed, look at it, from the bed, to the room, then to the corridor, and to the maid who was sleeping sweetly while the watch on my wrist pointing at 2.36am; none of it, never stir the conflicting feeling of mine.

The feeling of wishing to leave the chaotic Mentari area, with the crash of appreciation that the place I was looking at, the place with great security... Of course, inside of it, with lies and empty promises.

It was so secured, for 30 mins time, I walked round and round the walkway, passing by units, some of it, the door widely open, with faith, without fear.

And the event of Midas began. You don't know Midas? Click here.

Of course, this is a distorted version. Not gold, but chrome.

Walking in to the unit of faith, the pair of shoes that commonly used by culinary students, reminds me of how much I gonna miss the kind hearted roommate, Jerry...Although this doesn't belong to Jerry.

A toilet of emptiness....With a gentle touch, then it gained a new look.

Immediately, the coolness flush away the sins of the bathrooms and toilets, for not serving warm water.

That was the end of A night of Midas.

Facing one another like a kiddo again=D

2009-12-09T01:07:00.003+08:00

45 minutes ago I just came back from primary classmates gathering (5J/6J). I can't imagine we can just eat, drink and talk for like from 7pm till 12am?

I had a great time. I still feeling upset for missing the first gathering they made 1 or 2 weeks ago. Seriously appreciate those people's effort to have a 2nd time for those who missed the 1st one due to still studying and bla bla bla.

Feeling very good I'm, to see everyone of them who were there, still doing fine on their journey. I really miss those days.

I think I'm the odd one, I care, I appreciate the days with these primary schoolmates, than those i knew in secondary school.

Ah well, great night it was. Waiting for some group photos to be uploaded in facebook~

Such coincidence!

2009-12-04T01:36:00.002+08:00

Just came back from Murni.

Felt so great to see BK Tan again. It had been 8 years since we last saw each other. We were still a kid. I really feel happy that see him still looking cool, doing well... The tones of every word sandwiched with happiness is just great.

Another amazing thing was, when we went there, we bumped into Jia Ying & Yu Jie. Heck! It's like a spontaneous, random, unintentional primary gathering or something!

Ok you might feel confused what I'm talking about already.

Let me make this clear:

I same class with BK Tan during Standard 1-3, and 5.

I same class with Jia Ying during Standard 1-3, and 6.

I never being in the same class with Yu Jie, but I know who she is, coz she is just next class of mine.

BK Tan & Yu Jie were in the same class during Standard 6.

Jia Ying & Yu Jie were in the same high school.

I think this kinda make things more understood =D

BK, Jia Ying & me gonna meet on 8th back at Pg with a bunch of primary classmates summore.

Awesome!

What a great night!

3 years, and I just passed the finish line...

2009-12-03T20:43:00.004+08:00

Amazing isn't it?

While packing the stuffs...Glance through some old sketchbooks. It's just unbelievable I had completed my 3 years diploma course. It feels like I just attended the course last month!

I'm not gonna be emo shit or long winded here, as I really don't like to be that. Everything I feel, I just gonna be direct.

I thanks to all the friends that supported me since I knew you guys. Especially Wai Sie, Sherman, Li Qun, Gordon, Aaron Chew, Hau Yee, and lately of the course, Aaron Lau, Benjamin Poh, Clement, Qian Pei, and Jun Wai.

Without knowing you guys, the Earth won't stop turning, and days still go on. But you guys had helped me to make it very special. I love you guys. The name list should be more than here, but like I said, forgive me, I make this light and easy, your name is not here, but it's always in my heart. Every single of you had made my journey more interesting. I love you guys.

I took architecture course since 3 years ago, but I started to understand and doing it only since Semester 5. The course ends nicely I would say...As I enjoy Semester 6 the most, without any fucker messing around. Semester 1 to 4 had been surrounded by some fuckers with some fucked up mindset, yet I'm thankful for their existence. They had made me more appreciative on what I have done lately. Thank you, fuckers. Without some fuckers, I won't get improvement.

Fuckers, I don't love you, don't like you. But, I won't hate you.

The statement above had made me sounds not having fun at all, like a hypocrite. But again, if you think that, go ahead. I don't care how you look at me, as long as you are not blocking on my way fucking around.

I specially thanks to lecturers like Fabian, Karlson, Gerard, Ian, Alvin and Joe. I salute to you guys and I'm thankful for what I had learnt from you all. If I had said anything wrong in front of you, I apologise. To make you feel better and read this (if you have a chance reading it) more comfortably, I would say, you guys are out of the fuckers list of course.

I think that's all I want to say for now.

The whole thing above makes my morality level kind of twisted or something. But, here I am to tell you, I write this, in a way like I seeing myself in a 3rd person position. I'm conscious, no intention of provoking anyone.

So thankful that I can have a quite good full stop for the course.

I will talk a lil bit bout my final project next time?

Superheroes? So fake!

2009-11-15T13:47:00.003+08:00

These superheroes... I wonder for our generation, those late 1980s and the 1990s... Is there any fan of them? I guess, not much. So far, only those 1970s and early 1980s people able to give me more on an all rounded facts about some of them.

It's just amazing that, these heroes, almost all of them, were created during the time of industrial revolution, 1st wave or 2nd wave doesn't really matter. It reflects how human actually translate or convert their inner desires to form a person, living in a world, that only appears on the papers, then tv.

There was a point in our life, that we desire to be like Superman, can fly; and the strength that crash a tank with just a single blow. Isn't it?

In my point of view, there are actually 2 factors that determine the peak moment of these superheroes.

First, the invention of some new technology, or some revolution, that allows human to see the chain effect of it, we are so excited and come out with all the possible creation of this sorts, on the paper(Ironman & Superman are very obvious example).

Second, the stress level of human, have reach to a point, where we need some of these things to sooth our negative feeling. That is the point where you will see t he born of dark side of the heroes, where the story being twisted, being brought into a blue and black period, which is full of violence and excitement. If you notice DC comics, it actually then reflect the society condition of the America of United States. Even the heroes must die.

Are all these fake? Yeah of course. You won't be that lucky to be bitten by a spider then gain a super power; you won't be coming from some other planet with superpower; you almost impossibly be a rich ass orphan since young, with tons of cash, then learning all sorts of martial arts, owning a lab in bat cave, and a CEO of a famous company, and spending another 12 hours hunting down villains.

All these are formed by the emotional needs and inner desire. Human are just greedy. That's all.

I like to read these comics, watching these movies, of course, playing these 3rd person superheroes games. But one thing annoys me, is when reading, watching or playing these, there are people commenting things like "YER! So fake!", "Wah, like that also can!?", "Shit, ownage already, what's the point!?"

I don't understand. Then I googled the specific superheroes, read the designed character profile....Yea, it's meant to be like that. What is fake about that? What it means by "like that also can"? Blasting beam from chest is ownage and not fair to ordinary people you mean? Come on, the designed Villains and those henchmen, are amazing already, they can stand against so many blows of it.

All these things are fake. I don't understand the comment of "so fake", "like that also can?", "not fair" on these things.

Conclusion, what's the problem with you people with this mindset? Saying a fake thing is fake. Like duh? Guess what? Probably you lack of imagination and have no sense of self motivation.

We human always wish we can like this, can like that. There comes the birth of superheroes. After watching these, you might be cheerful a lil bit.

Let see....May be in your brain, is only "Ow..we can't like this", "We can't like that", "We are so limited", etc. So negative. A sad case isn't it?

2009-11-13T20:54:00.002+08:00

Yeah, IP is finally done.

Left ES exam, and Studio submission+ Final presentation.

And....That's it.

I didn't like yesterday.

Just now went to watch 2012 with AaLau, AaChew, Gordon, Li Qun and Jun Wai.

Seems like they like the movie.

I like the movie as well.

I was thinking, if that is what going to happen, yeah, we will be witnessing how everything we working hard on, come to an end; assuming we all sure gonna die.

Of course, we hope will will be those who went into the arc.

Work hard on the right thing, people.

Finally a chance with meatballs =)

2009-11-04T22:42:00.005+08:00

Attended the last tutorial. Appreciate Joe's professionalism to give us tutorial, although his child is in the hospital. Wish everything is fine, and gonna be okay.

My stuffs were commented, having an interesting planning on my plans. Direction of skin and structure, even the sculpture structure, counted clear. But, I still feel like stuck, especially the sculpture structure part. God, bless me with some inspiration please...

Attended lecture series, speaker was John Ding. Overall, eyes opening, and lots of local architects should learn from him, take the 1st step, to do something new and wild. Never try, never know! Isn't it?

Then, Went to One-Utama to see the Booth Exhibition. Ended up helping them to repair the collapsing frame structure. I would say....Not many Universities and colleges participating. Hope our college will win due to that, as few of them paid effort.

In the end, we stopped by at Ikea, had meatballs as dinner.

Below are some pictures I would like to share:

Rest in peace James Khor

2009-11-02T14:48:00.003+08:00

Just few weeks back, I received a news from the old friends, saying that our beloved primary school 4J-6J class teacher had passed away.

It was a saddening news, although I just attended her class for 2 years. Her dedication, passion on producing a well discipline and independent students, and every single act of her, we appreciate it since the time we stepping in to high school and getting matured.

Thanks to the keep developing technology, it's amazing how these things like MSN and facebook able to link all the long lost friends together again. I feel lucky for my generation, we stepped into the right train on the very last minute.

Besides of that, it's fascinating to have great chats with old friends via msn and facebook. To be frank, some of them even still complaining how he/she being tortured by the teacher. And at the end, in the class photo with the teacher passed away update, even those people,starting to talk about how great the teacher was, how much we miss her and so and so on.

That time, I really wish everyone can appreciate someone precious around you with a truth heart. Do not wait until they die, only trying to do something.

Those above are just some collected feeling in me.
The main thing I'm talking about, is that this morning, saw some updates from friends, and googled it a lil bit, get to know that James Khor, one of my primary schoolmate, had passed away, in an nature accident.

Related article click on this

Life is just so fragile, isn't it?
I never really know this dude, I would say. I never be in the same class with him at all. The only thing I know about him was, during the time I was in 5J and 6J. His class was very close to me, I think it was 5H or 6H if I'm not mistaken.

It is really a great lost to his friends, his family, and all the people that know him, I would say. He supposed to be a shining star with bright future soon. Everything came to an end in just a blink. An unpredictable one.

Even me, his image vividly and in high speed floating in my mind the time I saw the full name James Khor Wan Kai. What about his friends and family? I really feel sorry and sad for them. Since young, he's already a person with great influence. What were the memory I have about him?

Always coming out from class and having fun, some fool stuffs with friends, between the lessons' gaps.
When few of us from different classed bumped into one another at the urinals there inside the toilet, out of the blue, James suggested see who can pee higher and faster and back to the class. Of course he won. He was already tall and fast.

And a lot of funny acts, always with 2-5 friends around. There were time, seeing him from the next class, as one of the joker, I really wish I can be in the same class with him at least once, and get to know this joker. Now I think about it, I can't imagine how haunting the terrible news will be if I knew him. Because this news already haunting enough, since the early morning of 4am.

I can imagine an ordinary teacher passed away, and the students are sad for her.

But for a person, with bright future, great influence in social circle, to just passed away like that. How the friends and family feel about that? And, what the teachers that taught him before, feel?

It's seriously a great lost. From friends, from some blogs, his own blog, articles, his name is already wide spread in UTAR since he enrolled in the University months ago. Looking at the person like him, you just have a feeling, he's is going to do well in the future, his social skill gonna lead him to the peak of his life, faster than a lot of us.

Overall, it's strange, that James didn't know me at all, yet I have so much thing to talk about him. It's strange.

Happy Birthday to Someone very precious, and important to me

2009-11-01T15:52:00.006+08:00

Today is 1st of November, Happy Birthday to you, be blessed, and grow strong mentally, spiritually, in God.

It's the 3rd time I say it to you, I guess. The timing is always bad. Always the busiest time I'm facing. I know you don't like that. Me either. Still, I wish you to be happy.

So far, we never celebrate your birthday exactly on the date itself, together. Celebrate it another day, when we meet again, sounds so lame, but who cares. It gonna be better than none.

Get to know you, it's a blessing from above. Really really glad to see you enjoy your Birthday Celebration with your classmates. I looking forward the day to see you again.

Come on, people....

2009-11-01T15:52:00.005+08:00

It's my blog.
Supposed no matter what shit I write, it's really up to me.
But, I just so hate that whenever I write something, the next day , there are definitely some people gonna look at you with queer eyes, or say something, or worse, make a negative judgement on your personality.

Come on, you shall not judge! People takes life to understand a person, you want to take a passage to judge me? That is not fair at all.

Like what I say usually, don't read it if you feel you are hurt while seeing this blog. The post might be, really pointing at you, specifically insulting you.

You may say, yea, it's your blog, don't let people's action affect you, just do what you like,

I would say, it's so easy for you guys to say. But your reactions it's not like what you expressed at all.

This passage who's I'm pointing at? Some people. Yeah, some people.

Namewee ROX again!

2009-10-29T19:22:00.004+08:00

Wow, look at our Namewee?

He is protesting his frustration about TNB service! Another brilliant act of his again!

Do not say I never warn you, this video is full of vulgars and angers. If one can't take it, do not click the play button.

Why do I warn so? Because the comments given were extremes, and I'm on the side that support the act of Namewee.

Those donkeys, need some rudeness to brush their brains.

星洲日報---黃明志短片“嗆”國能‧網民反應兩極化

（柔佛‧新山）麻坡創作人黃明志因為停電事件，而到網站上上載“嗆”國能的短片，結果引起網民兩極化的反應。
有網民週二（10月27日）晚上在“麻坡論壇”開了一個名為“黃明志大鬧國家能源公司”的貼子，並上載黃明志到國能麻坡分局投訴的短片。
不過，黃明志在短片中不斷地罵髒話，而且還穿插不文手勢的圖片，讓部份網民看後覺得他的行為似乎過了頭。
截至今日（週三，10月28日）下午12時為止，該貼的留言中有支持黃明志的，也有反對黃明志的，留言十分兩極。
支持的網民覺得黃明志罵出了他們的心聲，也有網民認為短片中國能職員的態度讓人生氣，甚至還有網民建議黃明志也罵罵其他機構。
反對的網民則認為黃明志的投訴方法錯誤，也有網民覺得黃明志的表現魯莽兼欠缺理智，甚至有網民指他的舉動有辱華人、是麻坡之恥。
支持黃明志留言摘錄：
★網民dantegoi：黃明志罵出了我們的心聲，我也是停電的受害者之一。
★夢之家：我家那天無故停電，說起來都氣，弄東西弄到一半沒save（儲存），要從（重）做。
★蘇東：罵的好！這些人沒被罵不會醒的。
★愛魔術的白羊：雖然我家是沒有停電啦，可是看了他們的態度很過份咯！
反對黃明志網民留言：
★好攝之徒：黃明志，你投訴的方法錯誤。停電，每個人心中當然有一股怒氣，不過，黃明志此舉像發瘋了似的，是負面教材。說罵亦有藝術，黃明志這魯莽行為，丟盡華人的臉，簡直是麻坡之辱。
★回憶沙慔：彼此的態度都不好。黃先生滿口粗話，又做了錯誤的示範！我不欣賞他囂張的態度！

中國報---黃明志“扛上”國能將停電投訴上載Youtube

（麻坡28日訊）網路歌手黃明志“扛上”國家能源公司，上載其前往國能投訴常斷電的短片，痛批國能服務態度差，大部分網友皆感同身受。
據瞭解，黃明志于本月27日凌晨將一則“Namewee fXXX TNB 停電了！黃明志大鬧國家能源局”的短片上載至YouTube，不到3天即已有超過13萬網友瀏覽，雖然有些網友覺得黃明志有點“過火”，但大部分網友皆大表認同。
有關影片主要是因本月26日晚上9時30分至11時30分，黃明志住家附近多個地區突然停電，導致其電腦斷線，他製作到一半的歌曲全部沒有了，加上其弟隔天要考統考，而他在撥電十多分鐘予當局，也未有人接听。
為此，黃明志特前往國能公司麻坡分局了解情況，結果卻被當局員工敷衍了事的態度惹得更氣憤，因此將其投訴經過上傳到Youtube，表達不滿。
黃明志受訪時透露，他從台灣返家后，一年內已遇到3次無預警的停電，這在其他文明國家是不可能發生的事，若在其他國家有突然停電現象，一定要有人出來負責及下台。
他透露，影片上載后有來自英國及香港的網友告訴他，他們在當地住了多年，從未發生停電事件。而新加坡的網友也指出，該國曾發生突然停電事故，結果就有人因此引咎下台

Why is the internet speed like this?

Every time I load google, it takes 10 counts (10 seconds).

Streamyx, the best, the most stable broadband in Malaysia, is sux!

I call today a good day =)

2009-10-23T22:45:00.003+08:00

These 2 days, oddly I had porridge as my diner for 2 times.

I hardly order porridge, as it looks like, sounds like, and most of the time, taste like the only thing sick people will eat. (the only time I had porridge as a proper meal in KL were the days I had chicken pox)

Ow yea, and another thing, a taste nice porridge, is hard to cook. Amazingly, I found one nearby. A new hawker centre called Sin Hock Seng. It's just 5 minutes away...It's so near I can see it clearly from my room's window.

Anyway, you might not agree with me. It's just my own opinion about the porridge there is nice.

To have such nice and hot bowl of porridge during a rainy night, it was rewarding.

Put those aside, the ES test this morning, I sincerely thanks God. I forgotten everything at all about pass year papers, partly due to I can't log in to Taylor's Portal, they freaking locked my account. Luckily this morning, all of the people have a set of pass year papers with them, and I able to borrowed and just had a glance. Really really thanks God for that, because the notes are actually silly and not helpful. Plus, the test question, almost all of them, were from pass year questions.

If I can get 25/30....It's good already. (30% of me inside blaming why forgotten about the pass year questions at all)

Woke up very early, the test didn't even took more than 30 minutes to be completed. Then, was able to caught a movie - Law Abiding Citizen. To have Jamie Foxx and Gerard Butler in one movie, everyone hope it's a good movie. Well, I'm not doing or telling the flow of movie, nor giving a detail review of it.

It's a great movie. RM8 - RM10 for this movie is cheap.

You are dealing this in a wrong way

2009-10-17T12:53:00.004+08:00

To someone...

We are living under the same shelter. Sometimes if problem occurs, I really hope the people who felt they are victimised, talk to at least one or two housemates, and we get the problem solved. We are living in the modern era, not like you talk to one of them, and they gonna kill you with parangs.

At the very least, you give chance to other people to explain, in a way. Which to say, you are becoming a part of the society, to produce nicer people. It's still better than you straightly talk to uncle and auntie, which are the owner of the unit, and get the problem solved straightly? But spoil the bonds in the house.

The internet line, at least 5 people are sharing at the same time. Time change, people change, I became one of the longest stayer in the house, and I would say, it's very hard to prevent people from using p2p software. I think I shall restate this again... It is a statement that everyone agreed since the time of Jimmy in the house.

"You are advised to use p2p software only at the appropriate time. If one feels that their working process had been affected by another party using p2p software, he has the right to ask him to stop it, or plug it off, after confirming that user of p2p software is out of the house or sleeping."

Those were the time we asking housemates to stop using p2p software openly and publicly if we are doing serious business, and need the appropriate internet speed.

Time moves on, and I think the new dudes had either forgotten, or not equipped with this rule. I would be happy to explain and do things with more responsibility if the person come and talk to me.

The thing is, again and again, there are people not putting the concern in their head, and they have chosen to talk to uncle, and get a paper with statement stated on top of the router and modem. They think the problem solved.

I talked to uncle about the issue as well. I plugged the LAN cable out, just like how we did it last time. If there is any difficulties in mind of saying things or at least saying "HI" in between us, it wasn't me who created the problem. It was you, choose to deal it that way. You bear part of the responsibility.

Most of the time, I am the last one in the house to go to bed. I can easily know who's using p2p software while they are sleeping. I choose not to know, and not to do anything, if the internet speed is still acceptable for me. But if it is really slow due to that reason. I will plug it out. We are all matured people, we expect some sensitivity on issues from one another. If you trying to be blunt, same thing you will get from me, a little bit blunt, forgotten to plug the LAN cable back when I off to sleep.

If you think uncle will help to solve your problem, let me tell you, what he said to me was:

"Find out who is downloading, we barred him like what we do during Jimmy's time."

I don't think it's good to either you or me.

Is the whole thing fair? I guess yes. Even my roommate Jerry, I do the same to him. Does he know about it? Yes he knows. What you do, you carry appropriate amount of responsibility, with suitable amount of prediction on what's going to happen.

Wanna be a cry baby after that? It's a sad case you still living in a shy-shy time.

I guess, you don't even bother or have chance to see this.

I think Surrogates is a nice movie

2009-10-15T00:42:00.002+08:00

Frustrated about ES submission, expected happy hours still can't be abandoned.

Kind of had a hot plate of Nasi Goreng USA as late lunch. It was nice....May be I was too hungry?

Had a nice cup of Green Tea Frap after that. Costly but it did calm down my flaming mood.

Watched the movie Surrogates. Not wow-ishly nice or something. But the ideas sold are interesting. Found it disgusting when you don't really know who's the real person controlling the surrogate. The surrogate can be extremely beautiful. It disgusted me when the thought of the owner could be a freaking fat pig. Overall, it's a movie that I recommend to you, if you haven't watch any movie lately.

Some sushi at Tokyo G as light dinner. That's already one day.

It will be too dumb to let the whole day screwed just because of ES submission.

ES=Environmental what? You mean EXTREMELY SUXASS? Oh yeah!

2009-10-14T22:58:00.002+08:00

Yeah today is the submission of ES- Ecomimicry Project. A model of our design, and 2 B4 size presentation board, printed on 2 A4 papers.

What I want to say? It's sux! Serious.

All things finished on time and pinned up on time, expecting a happy submission and leave for some happy hour and a night of relaxation. And turned out the lecturer asking almost all of us taking back the model and board and kinda REDO! What the hell seriously!

I don't care what the others think about that, but I don't see the point of saying thing like

"your model supposed to show how it works and it had to be tested!"

First of all, people taking years and even whole lifetime to invent something new. We only have 1 month I guess, minus the 2 weeks holiday plus the 1 week unnecessary extension. We were advice not to touch chemicals and material stuff while so called inventing the item/object/technology/system, due to we need to make model. We were even advised by one of the lecturer to look at what the people out there do, refer and put them together to form our new invention, which I shall call this term "taking precedents". And in common sense, taking precedents is actually s great step for one to apply a similar existed system or technology as part of our invention, without us to worry about to show it in the model, because it's been done and showed work! Example, solar panel, photovoltaic system.

Then, they were giving us such few tutorials, only 1 or 2, and 1 interim, by our own students! Both steps I would see it as a big wrong! Tutorial amount 1 or 2 I guess was still not a fatal issue. The critical one was having a interim crit, and to ask our own students to crit it! Why was it wrong? It became a great time for them to be bossy, especially like throwing out question like "What do you actually contribute in this invention?". They had forgotten they only have 1 week time (minus holiday counted as 1 week) to final submission, and the availability of taking precedents! I mean, what was the hell with the thinking of taking precedents form a new invention as no contribution? If you google it, no one has this invention of yours, after you put them together in some way to deal with some issue, I see it as perfectly OK! It's only 1 month hello! Whole thing, sounds like it's students fault in this point. But, think, who asked students to crit in during the interim crit, without giving a clear brief?

Talking about models, this is seriously hell. Like my case, I'm doing some phosphorescent panel or building skin, which a phosphorescent layer is laminated in the glass. The best way to represent in model, is to coat a layer of phosphorescent paint on the model board. But, the manufacturer here do not take it phosphorescent paint, nearest is from Australia, 1 litre of it, cost RM400++ without adding in shipping cost. Why not find from those art shop? If you ask me, let me answer you. I found, I only want transparent color, those paint sold in fancy color, and in tiny thumbnail size of small can, which will malfunction after a while, and it costs a bomb! I have good reasons of skip showing this in model!

Talk about model again, what did they mean just now, about testing the model? We never even had an agreement on that? The whole thing just now, was like making us in a wrong fair! Some engineering fair? Or some mechanical fair? Hello? We are design students! And I wonder who said before the model doesn't have to be working, it's about the idea of mimicking the wisdom of the chosen flora and fauna to form a system/item/invention to solve a local issue! If chemical and material are forbidden area for this project; workability of model, or be more precise, the need of making a model, is not really needed! And for my group, I don't know why she couldn't understand or want us to prove it works. It's so easy to understand from the panel, as I have showed how sunlight being guided to reflect to the darker corners, by tilted the created angle of opening on panel. All of the diagrams are in the board!

And the extension. I didn't understand why give us extension. I believe at the end of the moment, we students will make it for the submission. I see almost all people, also never make good use of the given submission. All only start rushing 2 days ago or yesterday night. Why? We have other subjects, and other interims as well!

And what's wrong with not having a model photo of the product on the presentation board, when a 3d rendering can show better in telling materials? We are so limited in material sources. Model board, balsa, perspex....WTH was wrong with their brain seriously I'm doubting.

At the end, no one have the guts of agreeing to submit the panel and product in one voice, all taken the models and panels back.

So what then for this shitty extension? I will put the model and board in one corner for it to collect dust, until next Wednesday. I will add some diagrams more if I'm free. IF! Next week Studio Interim Crit 2. Model? For mine, it's a definitely works thing. to make the model, scale too big. If they don't understand still, I feel bad for them.

Uh oh.....

2009-10-12T16:16:00.002+08:00

After Environmental Science class (we got screwed upside down for not doing some readings), went back change a pair of short pants.

Supposedly went back to take Aaron Lau's Sigg Bottle A4 board and to check my file whether I had submitted the board, or not.

Eventually, I blended a cup of fresh tomato juice, wearing short pants, with Aaron Lau's A4 board on my hand.

Feeling like something had not done yet, when I realised it, I'm sitting here, inside studio, at college already.

I guess you know what I had forgotten to do... I hope I had submitted, like what my friends told me.

So Random

2009-10-07T23:31:00.002+08:00

Suddenly have this thought....

For those people of my generation, if you are doing some doctor things and human body anatomy stuffs, organs understanding and study, whatever related course...

I hope in 10 years time, a perfect working synthetic liver and kidney exist already.

Serious, in this line, I don't know when I will collapse. Sometimes it's scary, when you rushing work till early morning, still without food, and everything, all the metal taste inside your mouth, skin turns yellow, right shoulder feel pain, internal organs like going to explode...

That are kind of the feeling.

Synthetic organs not available by the time we need?

I guess....When I start working, I will talk to personal doctor, ask them to find a suitable liver, and a pair of kidney as well, just in case I need it.

Sing sleepless song with me XD

2009-10-07T01:22:00.001+08:00

Tomorrow Interim Crit at 8a.m.

Now 1.22a.m.

Sing sleepless song with me~

15 minutes of random crap

2009-10-01T16:41:00.002+08:00

20 minutes ago, I was having an urge to have some chocolate, yea, thinking of plugging a piece of Toblerone dark chocolate and have some new chew.

And heck just when I opened the fridge, good one, the bottom shelf was soaked with a layer of light green liquid!

Flashback

I open the yogurt drink this morning, pour a cup only and stuffed the bottle back into the fridge, horizontally, without making sure whether the cap was tight or not.

Back to what happened in front of my eyes, it was still pouring down slowly, drop by drop. I know I should just grab some dry clothes and soak all the yogurt drink, but I didn't. What I did was, taking up the bottle, measuring the amount left in the bottle by feeling the weight.

Oh yea, what a good reason for me to finish the whole bottle. A quarter left. It's now in the recycle bin back there.

Ah, then I spent 10 minutes cleaning the fridge.

Almost time for some nap.

Hours ago mum called and said will bought me some lunch.

What's the time now?

Well, I had great dim sum as breakfast, I had some bananas and chocolate already...

Oh, and another cup of yogurt drink just now.

Great day

2009-09-30T23:45:00.000+08:00

"I'm going to Queensbay Mall with someone, sitting at the Starbuck inside Borders, using the internet, and do my assignment."

That's what I told Ezra yesterday, when he was asking me what am I going to do the next day, which is today.

"With someone some more. Do homework? Don't talk crap. You can do your assignment in that situation? Rare case, man! Ripley's Believe it or not...."

And a lot of crap. Basically those were the only things I heard.

Heck. I kind of completed my Industrial Training Report, Hey yeah! (need some amendment still)

Nice meal in pastor's house. All night long about Tsunami, snowing heck, Philippines, North Sumatra, Japan, Samoa, end of the world and bla bla bla.

Well nice one Ezra, paintball and baseball will be a good game before end. There will be earthquake activation, thunder bolt activation, tornado activation and etc.

Challenging huh XD

Gonna miss all the fun things today. The special one...The churchmates here....Well heck not assignments.

Good night.

Great day.

40 days, and then gone

2009-09-27T18:04:00.002+08:00

40 days

I bought this pair of shoes 41 days ago.

And it got stolen yesterday night.

I sincerely thanks God, I able to master my temper, and just wear my dad's slippers to the church. The usual me, I will just start blaming at no one, forgetting how to mask my face and anyone around me will just feel guilty for nothing.

I really thanks God, that I remember how to pray in that kind of freaking moment. Also, the more than 10 minutes of starting the getting older bike, had calmed my mood.

I praised God, that I didn't know who stole it, and I didn't bumped into the dude that stole during the middle of the night. I spent some empty lunch time thinking, what if I saw the dude when he was stealing? What if I go to the Lorong Kulit flea market and see the exact shoes?

I shivered when I came to the point of imagining if I'm the dude stealing the shoes, and Darren spots me stealing the shoes, and the thing going to happen next.

I can't imagine what beast I'm gonna turn into. Heck.

Anyway, now what? I definitely need to get myself a pair of shoes before I go back. For some reasons, really hate that.

A place you must visit - Hard Rock Hotel Penang

2009-09-26T00:12:00.005+08:00

The 4th Hard Rock Hotel in the world...... It's just so hard to believe, it's located at almost the end of Batu Feringgi, Penang.

Anyway, I passed through this place, briefly walked pass the spaces. Except the Rock Shop is a separate body from the main building which is a lil bit odd to me; overall this building, quite good thoughts were put in.

A very good reason for the major of my readers to visit this building is that how the architect bring in wind to the building. The ventilation of spaces are just so good. You see bright sun, you see no fan, you think it's gonna be freaking hot. Heck it's windy inside. Spaces orientation and volume are the main key things that the designer played with, for the building.

I wasn't that lucky, no tripod with me, screw about night scene of it, was rushing time, why was I thinking about night scene, my friend bumped into Mazda exhibition held there, I bumped into nothing.

Their Hard Rock Cafe....You are not 21? Too bad, you can't go in. Me didn't able to get in either.

Well...Next time, may be some time of next year...

Go there with luck again.

The lighting hung at the entrance, formed by those fiber optic thing and LED. With soft breeze, the strings swing, the whole entrance just looks so welcoming (I hope I took that shot at night, with a tripod...a long shutter one)

I don't know why Beatles is kind of the main feature of this Hard Rock Hotel. You see them almost everywhere.

The Facing-Sea-Facade

Views from a courtyard

Staircase to Roof Garden

Pool & Beach side Bistro

Imagine watching some Live band performance in the water

This was where I came from

2009-09-22T02:03:00.009+08:00

Boundary Road, officially the government set up the road name....I only realised it's called Boundary Road, since yesterday. I don't really want to know why, but I believe, the people here, like how it was, we still call it Rifle Range.

Part of an area of Ayer Itam, a very old market as central, surrounding of it, are numbers of cheap apartments, shop houses, a school, a cemetery, and a base of Red Head Army (I don't know the official title of it, but that's what we call them, in Mandarin, Cantonese, Hokkien).

I can tell why was that area known as Rifle Range. It's a very simple story. It was an area used by Japanese armies to execute people during the 2nd World War.

I lived there for 7 years, count started from the day I was born. The memory in the unit, in the area, are still vividly clear in my mind. Hence, I decided to ride my bike there, take some photos, and want to share with the people around me.

The car parks without boundary

If you get your car a slot, you might think you are the lucky one. The following day, you will see layers of cars blocking behind you. You gonna have good time pushing and pulling the cars. I remember, the uncles in the coffee shop, always come out and help.

Sometimes when we come back late, we have to park at the area of other flat unit, and walk some distance to our unit. We had no problem to find our car, because it was an Orange Toyota Corolla. There was one morning, another Orange Toyota Corolla was parked beside our car, and the owner of another Corolla just standing beside. My dad didn't realised there was another one, and unlocked the wrong one. The owner was shocked. Then my dad was shocked as well. The funny thing, my dad's key able to unlock another car.

The one and only basketball field in that area. I was lucky, it was just next to our flat unit. Not that lucky, I didn't use it even once. It became car parks during the night. The condition of the field, same as the asphalt road of the area - Full of rubbish, dog shits, and crows' carcasses.

The staircase corner, where and uncle selling newspapers and magazines from evening till late night. Our car parked there or not, it was part of the daily route to go there and buy newspaper.

As usual, the area still full of abnormal people. I pity them. Those appeared in newspaper, the old men and women having trouble to pay rental, electric bill, or even for food, due to they are old already, and the kids are abnormal, can't work; you can find a lot of them in this area.

This is the Unit I live in. Block B. Don't tell me or ask me how scary or complicated Mentari court is. I lived in Rifle Range before. Mentari is just nothing.

The distance between the two of 16 levels cheap flats. All the bikes are parked at this gap. Grocery stores, hair saloon, coffee shops can be found inhabit at this level. Surprises were guaranteed. After yesterday's visit, still are guaranteed.

You need to have this kind of roof to protect your very own unit. People just simply throw rubbish out of their window. The condition of this roof, tells. There are always water dipping from a unit, then roof to roof, and finally reach the ground. You won't want to know what is the water source, and you won't want to know the explicit passed through stages by the water, such as moss, hairs, papers, spits, and etc.

You see a broom up there. No joke, I saw people throw down a television set. Yesterday, I almost get myself hit by a falling cement brick. Thanks God only the scattered pieces hit me.

The area, where I knew the 1st Indian friend, and we used to fool around in between this area and the basketball field.

Illegal extension were going on as well. I assume that's the reason a lot of Indians like to buy ground floor unit? I wondered, the Indians friends I used to know, where are they now.

See how the 1st floor people making good use of the extra spaces. Well, they paid the price. Everyday, they gonna clean the rubbish thrown by the people above.

Take a close look at the difference of every single unit...

Closer

Antennas..Now looks better. Last time they were messily arranged.

Blocks of the flats...I wonder if you know, these flat, were one of the very 1st flats in Penang. The contractor and technology were from France. That explains why you can't find any crack from the flat, although they were already there since late 1960s.

The rubbish always like this. The metal door never properly closed. Or I should say, no point of closing it. Everyday, you will see some old people, messing up the area, finding the rubbish like corrugated boards, or aluminium tins. You know what they gonna do with it, aren't you?

There were once, the whole galvanise unit of this boxes fall down, and a kid sacrificed. Then, they cemented it to the floor.

B-10-19

I always wanted to unlock the box myself, but it located on the highest row, which my dad had to pass me the key, and carried me on his hands, wait for me to unlock it.

I was sad, this is the new lift. It works quite well, and smell like old bed and dried pee....The old one was having a manual outer door, and the malfunction inner door with a hole you can see outside. The old lifts were the trademark of the unit. It always stop in between of 2 levels. A lot of times, the inner door open automatically, but the lift cubicle is not there.

"Why the mouth of that guy like this?", pointing at the guy.

"What is that thing came out from the shirt", pointing at the Indian lady, which her left boob totally came out of her sari.

"Why his head tilted to the left instead of the right?". pointing at the same dude I met in lift for times.

And etc.

I caused a lot of embarrassments to my parents in this 2m x 2m cubicle, due to I knew to talk at 10 months old, and I was curious about my surrounding.

The courtyard that expected to bring in more natural lighting...Kinda not working though. The flat is too tall, and the opening is too narrow. Well, look at this picture, it's a clear view to the sky! Last time, you will see wires crossing here and there. What I saw was, the wires and antennas, that trapped a lot of rubbish in the middle of no where. Pieces of rubbish fell when there was wind, "juices" dipping from rubbish bags hanging in the air...

Risking myself, standing in the middle of the courtyard. The air flew through was way cleaner than last time, although still the smell of rubbish. The noises made by people, echoed repeatedly in this shaft... Arguments, vulgars, kids crying, vulgars, vulgars, and vulgars.

Living at 10th floor, wasn't that bad...I still get some light.

I liked to wander here and join the neighbors, because they gave me candies, talk to me, and said I was adorable.

Really unbelievable to wonder how they cleared the messed up wires of this shaft...There were so many things to see when walking this corridor. You see mice falling from up there to the ground, not dead due to the layers of antenna and wires. You see people throw a bucket of Carlsberg bottles from top, to the ground, few antennas were pull down together and destroyed, and etc.

This was the exact unit I lived in....I so wanted to knocked the door and ask them to allow me to take some photos of the interior, as well as the view this small unit get. But there was no one. Mainly, I didn't have the guts. The view from this unit was awesome. Directly facing the base of Red Head Army. You able to see them marching, and all sorts of strange formation thing.

My most favorite neighbor's house. I wonder who's living there now. I don't know why I like the 70 year old auntie so much that time. But among all, she was the friendliest. I heard that she died, from my grandma, 8 years ago. I hope you didn't see anything strange from this picture.

The angle I 1st saw a corpse lying down there. 2 bikes were destroyed, antennas were pulled down together. It was someone committed suicide.

The place where we throw our rubbish. Some people choose to just put their rubbish there. Some people, not even visiting this place, straightly settle them by throwing them out of the windows.

No more messy wires and antennas, but grow some numbers of mushrooms.

3 lifts, only 1 lift will stop at 10th floor. Most of the time, we gonna walk down to 10th floor from 11th floor.

One of the element I think that it never change. The staircase. The stains, the dirts, like layers of them, are still there. Other spaces like lift lobby, and corridor, most of them already coated with a layer of cheap water paint.

There was a Sunday, the lifts were out of service. We were forced to go down by using the nearest staircase. Due to fast speed of parents, I rolled down from the staircase and hit my upper lips. My lip were bleeding. My mouth were cleansed by my mum, I was motivated by dad; one hand holding my dad's hand, another holding my lip, finally we reached ground floor. Dad bought a corn favored potong. I was amazed and laughing to see how the yellow potong soaked with a small patch of red blood.

Yesterday was the 1st time I went up to 16th floor. The environment really nice there. Least noise, least polluted air.

16th floor is like a totally different place compare to the levels down there. That explains the people living at 16th floors why look more like normal being.

I guess that's it for this post. Too much great memory in this area. This was where I came from.

Gamble again

2009-09-15T01:27:00.002+08:00

Went in to the studio late this morning. Well, wasn't that late...1 hour, our culture. There were 40% more of them even later than me.

Immediately was told to quickly fill my name in one of the lecturers' list that were pinned up on the wall.

So it was a session for us to choose which one of them we want them to become our tutor for the final project. I didn't like that.

Edward, Alvin, Alina, Joe.
When there was a time they mentioned we will gonna have to choose one of them as tutor, but at the end, we gonna see everyone of them at least once.

I only had 2 people in my mind.
Alvin, or Joe.

If I came earlier, I would have sign my name under Alvin's without a doubt. But after I saw the names on the list...Well...I hesitated.

I guess I started to know what I'm looking at, what I need.

At last, I sign my name under Joe's. I was the 1st one to sign his list. With faith I would say.
Among all the lecturers, I totally don't know him at all.

I depended on my instinct that time. Final semester, no harm to gamble one last time. I had been in screwed situation all the time already.

*****
Finally I had bought a ticket to go back Penang. I thought the ticket gonna be fully sold out, as Raya Holiday is near. Thanks God for that.

It had been long time since I use my earphone to listen songs from my cellphone. Sometimes to be barrier-ed away from the noisy surrounding.....It's so nice......Like the blood circulation of the whole body, gone woohoo!

HD-Night Rod

2009-09-13T08:03:00.000+08:00

V Rod being described as the new breed of Harley Davidson. Undeniably the unique frame structure and its design are the key breakthroughs, but I really don't like the head lamp part of the bike. It looks freaking awful.

Click on the link for V Rod image:
V-Rod

But...But...But... The Night Rod is totally awesome!! If really to get a HD bike, I will go for the sporty, muscular V-Rod series, the Night Rod!
The size of it big enough, and doesn't look awkward for an Asian to ride on it, the great engine, and blablabla...
The most important, the ugly head lamp part is nicely covered now!

I wonder...When will I able to get myself this kind of bike....
In America, even a butcher, afford the bike (watched the documentary...yes...Butcher)
I just calculated how much it cost in America...
Click here

The price starts from $16699.
if convert to RM, assume per USD costs RM3.50.
Which means, the price starts from RM 58446.50 !!

I know you will say, road tax different and stuffs.. Yea I know, but let me crap awhile can you?

The price of a Night Rod here, costs RM 157000 and onwards!

You do the calculation yourself. Okay?

Trust-Value of Gold-Not to some people

2009-09-06T15:17:00.004+08:00

Trust.

Reliance on the integrity, strength, ability, surety...Of a person, or thing...

To rely upon or place confidence in someone or something...

It can always be sounded loud, from any Dick, Tom or Harry. How much it worth? There is a mandarin idioms sounds A phrase worth thousands of gold. It's quite fantasy for that trust to has such value these days.

Consider about the value of your trust when you trusting the others.
When people trusted you with faith, you then made conclusion and judgment about people based on the being trusted words/objects/issues, and eventually giving the person a back stab...

Then, you shall not expect people to value your trust for more than even 1 cent. 1 cent worth of trust, without a back stab, is an understatement.

A child-play of pay back.

Oops, I didn't know I have these...Happy Birthday Malaysia!

2009-08-31T21:14:00.004+08:00

It had been quite long time since I last changed my desktop wallpaper... I need some change of mood...Immediately I plugged in my external hard disk, slowly viewing the wallpapers I had collected so far...

I can't believe I have quite huge collection of them! From anime category to graphical one, all inside that folder, messy, not arranged at all.

Only 10% of them I used before...And...I found a few of these, I can't believe my eyes I did collect them, and I tried putting them up! Heck, how is it? You witness yourself.

I don't know who is this...

I'm not a fan of Megan fox but...

Great right? Guys I know you are agreeing with me.

Anyway, I had found a suitable wallpaper for this few days, may be few months....

Oh yea, today is the 52nd's birthday of Malaysia. Everyone had fun so far? =)

2009-08-29T16:26:00.001+08:00

Yesterday was just simply awesome. Frankly, I am thinking, who is having better and more enjoyable precedent study than us. The category of tourism we focus on for our studio final project, is just a overdose of cars and bikes porn for us. What a Super bikers Tourist Launching Pad!

In order to proceed to further and more detailed information of the selected topic, we need to check out the real thing in market, as well as asking the experienced bunch of people. At the end, we went to Harley Davidson showroom, distracted by Ferrari showroom and Maserati's, as well as Lamborghini's, then we reached the disappointing Ducati showroom, eventually BMW's.

At night, we went to Hard Rock cafe, a famous hot spot for the bikers. The service was good, the food quite nice, and the money not wasted at all, we bumped into one of the founder of Head Hunters, one of the bikers' club in Malaysia, and we able to exchange some information, as well as getting his name card.

Below, are some explicit Car and Bike porn...

Say Hi to the all-about-lifestyle's Harley Davidson!

The finishing quality is the best so far among the brands we've visited

Look at those super size chromatic machine! You will get a heart attack just by looking at it! The impaction was all great!

One of the Harleys that caught my attention....

Showroom, reception and retail area

The people there are friendly, helpful, and never treat us like jokers. We visited the showroom without any letter or advance inform, but they willing to spend time to give us a tour around the area like workshop, cafe, as well as sharing what they know, to us.

The happiest 3 guys

One amazing thing was, when we asking them to talk to us about background and history of Harley Davidson, they straightly pass us 2 books - 100 years of Harley Davidson to us, as present, as a token of appreciation on our enthusiasm and a rare visit with the status of students.

I never had deep impression on Harley Davidson, but I fall for the bikes, since yesterday.

On the way to Ducati showroom...We....saw this....

Enzo!!! This is hardcore car porn at all!

Maserati...

A row of naked chicks display....

Wonder what Qian Pei was thinking....May be...."I want this to be my wife!"

When we saw Lambo, he became a happy kid, with overdose of weeds

I just wonder when, anyone of us will own that kind of car... First, they are not logical, especially when really, there is a time we able to afford it. Most probably, we might have a family already, and this kind of car, only have 2 seats... Everything is not easy huh... Well, I like car, but I still like the freedom the bike can give.

Oh right, here we talk about Ducati showroom. I quite like Ducati, to be honest with you. When people talk about super bike, sport bike, no one don't know about Ducati. But it was a disappointing one yesterday.

Naza has the biggest dealership of Ducati here, we all know that, even those Lambo, Ferarri, Maserati, were under Naza. The super bikes showroom next to Ducati's, also belongs to Naza. But the scene gave me a stab.
How can you show this right in front of the retail!? All brand new powerful bikes, caged with rusty pieces of metal, and the yellow rusty water was all soaking and the shiny sport rims of the bikes, creating stains already!

That is fine, it's under Naza, but it's not Ducati yet. We then went in, the space inside was incredibly insufficient of correct illuminant, the space was cramped packed with bikes, never properly arranged. All the bikes seems downgrade already. It was unbelievable. The guy saw us with cameras, pointing at us, shouting "No taking photos!", then turn to his other colleagues and instructing them to take a good look at us, never let us to take any photo at all.

The attitude was so wrong at all. It was the only showroom we visited, without letting us taking photos. Although all of them we asked. Ducati was the only party, haven't we even ask, already banned us from doing so. One word, RUDE!

The language says it all!!!!! It's like shouting at the customers!

Too many bikes cramped in the space, lighting wrong! DOWNGRADE!

Without 20 minutes, we left. We stayed at Harley's and those car showrooms for longer than 1 hour each! Look at the Ducati bikes in front of the retail as well, MESSY!

That was our morning. We had lunch, back to site do analysis and data collecting. We visited the Auto Bavaria nearby. The people don't really care of us, they are friendly as well. The bikes, I would say cooler than Ducati in my mind, for the 1st time, in an overall level.

Some of their bikes too big, way too big. This pic unrelated

Quite like this, but not the windscreen

Yesterday was great!
By the time this post is posted, it will be forwarded to NAZA, DUCATI, and HARLEY DAVIDSON. Some parties are just simply amazing, deserved the praise, and some should expecting some screws.

Jump off the bridge

2009-08-25T00:10:00.003+08:00

"Sometimes, if you aren't sure about something, you just have to jump off the bridge and grows your wings on the way down."
Danielle Steel

True.
Even you didn't manage to grow a pair of wings; it makes you realize a lot...
"Ow wow...I didn't know the bottom of the bridge is as nice as on top of the bridge!"

A lot of things, we don't know. Nice? Ugly? It doesn't matter...Does it?

嚣

2009-08-23T16:07:00.004+08:00

妙！绝妙！“嚣”一字被用来形容马来西亚人的个性，本人觉得一点也不为过。一份《星洲》在手，醇厚的咖啡漱漱口，这慢条斯理的午餐后“甜点”，精神真的为之一嚣！

两分钟前还想看看星洲网是否已经上载了今天的副刊专题的，可惜，还卡在上周日的专题，周日本来就是拿来偷懒的。明天再把网版专题转载到这儿来吧！你怕会不懂我接着要讲的么？抱歉，你的事。

嚣，形容说话神情激动，但没行动。上下共四把口，环绕一课题；讲的人多，做的人少。人人拥有一把口，马来西亚人高呼 “MALAYSIA BOLEH！”不是盖的，居住BOLEH LAND 上的居民，无事不可能，身怀绝技，拥有四把口！

媒体
国会
咖啡店
网络

嚣遍四把口，由始至终都靠口；手？闲得嚣飞机吧。
《星洲》今天一笔一行动，嚣了四把口：“媒体嚣声夺人”，“国会嚣争究竟为什么？”，KOPITIAM 嚣音人人都能当时评”和“网络嚣声无声胜有声”。

这章为的就是嚣。被提及的表面四大嚣，让我联想到昨晚同学之间的嚣嚣风波，可能与四嚣无关，也可能息息相关。

好嚣，嚣懒，衰嚣，鸽嚣。这四嚣会福建话的人才懂了，哈哈。
声声有嚣，广东话屌屌（diu）声念快了，委婉了也变成嚣嚣嚣（hiu）。

在这多民种族的新国家里，为了确保国家和谐，人人都被灌输了一套避免争论（avoid controversy）的好嚣思想，教育，和道理。道理的生存条件，本来就是黑白，绝对性的，也因如此，它是敏感的。敏感的课题，就存有争论的高几率。各个在这国家长大的，都是避免争论的鸽嚣王。绝对，也因此不存在。嚣这一字，一靠口不行动之举，也成了我们的嚣懒个性。

“世事无绝对”，就是这里绝对公认，公开性的嚣懒灰色道理。感谢这种好嚣教育系统， “自我审查” （self censorship)是在配套里的。自我审查，就像电脑里我们所认识的木马程序，不是每个抗病毒软件都发现得到的；不是每个人都认为自己在潜意识中自我审查（self censoring)的。那可是避免争论的绝对基础。

有些人已厌倦了周围避免争论的态度和个性，但是从没发现自己正在一直自我审查，避免争论；倒批评周围人尝试自我审查，不够透明。岂知，世事无绝对，就是自我审查最好的例子。

这种人，最好嚣了。想面面当好人，却不懂已面面得罪人的个性更嚣懒。昨晚有缘看见他庐山真面目，算我衰嚣。看着他鸽嚣，念起他身为高才生之背景，不禁唏嘘，感叹，又是书呆子一位。

昨晚讲的话题，我就不嚣了，我避免争论，自我审查，表面带过多余的这些嚣，你读了一嚣置之就好。

A waste of time

2009-08-20T21:28:00.003+08:00

"......listen, honey...No, no....Listen! Don't make this ends ugly ok? I met you, you met me, we met each other. I liked you, then we had happy moment together, I thank you for all that. But, I never think of being with you for the rest of my life since the beginning. I'm leaving, and keep this going gonna be a waste of time for me. For you as well. No, no, don't like that, make this ends clean and well......"

Never intend to listen such dialogue, but forced to, due to this young lady, talking in her phone, walking slowly right in the middle of narrow pavement. Judgment shall not be done as we shall not judge. But, the 10 seconds of above dialogue, enough to fill the rest of 10 minutes time of rushing back to get water color pastes and back to college, with some thoughts, under the afternoon burning sun.

Talking of wasting time......
Sticking with the same person too long is a waste of time?
Or...
Fall into a relationship although you know absolutely you not going to spend your rest of the life with him/her is a waste of time?

Glad that I have Architecture to fuck me all time long.

Planta

2009-08-20T16:57:00.003+08:00

"What would you like to have for your bread?"
"Jam, any fruit jam~"
"No jam, you think that's cheap? We only have Planta."

The unimportant dialogue came to my mind when I had my Roti Planta 1 hour ago. I was 4, I remember.

Think of it again, there was a time, Planta was like a sure have item in everyone's home. At least that was what I thought.. Every relative's houses, friends' house, inside the fridge or some corner of the kitchen, there must be a can of Planta. That was what I thought.

Somehow, my house had never own even a small can of Planta before. As a kid, I was curious, and was told by parents, that's a quite expensive brand of butter.

Eventually, I had an idea that Planta is a brand of butter that everyone can afford, but not me. I mean, us, my family. How naive I could be that I tasted fruit jam, given by neighbor, as a kid, I hated it. And I had a conclusion, which was, fruit jam was cheaper than Planta.

And the truth revealed to me, when one day, I went to a far relative's house to play with the kids. A short dialogue of 4 years old me, and the wife of the far relative.

Timeless play

2009-08-20T00:24:00.002+08:00

Something nice had happened, made me just scrolled deep into my hard disk and look at the old photos.

The memory and the action are not related, but the timeless quality of both issues, somehow is the similar approach.

Hi dude, long time no see. What a golden, precious classic replay.

Melaka Trip (25-26.7.09) - Buldings & Places

2009-08-15T19:40:00.009+08:00

Being to Melaka when I was 12, but I had no idea with the place, nothing to be appreciated I guess. Until I took the course of Architecture, and until I went to this place, again.
2 days, these are how much I know about it, and let the pictures speak.

What will you do if......

2009-08-14T22:46:00.002+08:00

Yesterday saw the poster of movie 2012, talking with A.A.Lau about it.

It's something saying the end of the world, or you call it judgment day, or whatever day you call it, it's between 21-23 of December, 2012.

I had been seeing people predicting end of the year on 2001, 2003, 2009 and blablabla. But what caught my attention about 2012 was that, t had been calculated or announced as far as the time of Mayans.

You can actually google it yourself about 2012 prediction. Not the movie ok?

It brought me to some thinking moments.

I'm curious to ask, what will you do, if you somehow found that, from God, or from Satan, or from Spirit, whatever media or platform you call it, or you have the 6th sense, or dejavu kind of ability; that 2012 is the end of the world.

What will you do?
Like nothing, continue your course studying?
End your journey of virgin?

Serious, I'm wondering, what will you do?
At that time, what is meaningful?

Studio 4 Assignment 1: Bridge & Bench

2009-08-14T01:54:00.006+08:00

The bridge and bench, a group work and an individual work, were what we busy on, since the very 1st day of this final semester. In this 2 and a half weeks time, to come out something good, is really tough.

Average sleeping time daily was around 2-3 hours, not to mention the days that didn't sleep at all.

I have learned my lesson, work according to the given time, know when and what to sacrifice.

7.50 a.m. Wednesday, 12 August, 2009
On the way to college after printing, in Jun Wai's car.
Jun Wai: "Do you feel the glorious moment?"
I guessed it was something like that, do you feel the wind of glorious, we are not late, printed earlier, and some shit.
Right, I think that's the very good way to describe.

The bridge, things we received were like:
-I like the bridge
-I don't get the concept of coercian. Where does that happen?
-You wasting your landings
-There are some mistake of height you guys make
-& etc

On my bench side, I get comments like:
-If the steel rod of bridge is at the outside, your furniture making sense.
-Too playful, imagine kids playing on the road side.
-It's a piece of playground toy.
-It doesn't gel with your bridge context well.
-It's an interesting furniture.

Well, I have a lot to explain to tackle those points that tackling my furniture, but the time didn't allow me to do so. The 1st 3 groups spent too much time on their bridge and furniture, which our group, everyone of us, it's either forced to stop, or too little time spent on us.

They won't be pleased by our works, is a fact. I mean, very rare, they will be pleased. But, more on want to see how we defend and giving reasons, reasonably. We weren't given the time, thanks to the unequal time management for every group.

Somehow, look at what I did again, I'm happy with I have done, by referring to the given time. Quite happy with it.

There it gone, 2 weeks of preparation, just for that morning itself.
The ES class that came after, fishing all the time, documentary of Inconvenient Truth being played, which almost everyone fall asleep, and Ms. Salvi kinda forced to let us go.

Freedom or Bondaged?

2009-08-09T13:34:00.002+08:00

2nd week of Semester 6 had ended, not even a movie I have watched since 1st day of the semester.

Most of the time, trapped myself inside the lousy building of Ken Yeang, talking about concept, squeezing brain juice for bridge design, living with blades and model board.

Mattress and pillow back inside my room, blanketed by a thin layer of dust.

I'm neither complaining, or hate. So far, I enjoyed what I've been doing in 2 weeks time. Just, not having enough sleep.

I want some movies, some good meal, some fresh air, some colorful sky.
Can we call that freedom?

Capturing freedom...That's all we want isn't it? Most of the people.

Just like keeping the big rainbow in a small bubble.
Does that small thing capable to contain the whole experience of the forming of huge rainbow? Small amount may be. Temporary. That's what the urban people looking for as well. Eternal as flaw, temporary as the perfectness of imperfection.

What is freedom then?
The orgasm achieved while being raped?

I guess, we forgotten to understand "bondage" before we know "freedom".

Ow well, that's what makes "freedom" more worthwhile anyway. The whole bunch of bastards that don't know bondage seeking for freedom.

The 1st day of Final Semester

2009-07-27T23:57:00.000+08:00

This is somehow not the 1st time posting about how's the 1st day of semester.
It sounds the same, but quite different every time.

This semester, we started our freaking Monday with Design Studio 4 at 8am, that's amazingly fresh and new to us. And, to be honest, this is not quite a good time slot don't you think so?
Who the hell gonna work you ass out during the nice weekend, and don't have time to prepare last minute in the morning of Monday?

It's nothing too much a big bad wave though. At the same time, just hope that everything gonna be alright. (Not like last semester, the studio looks more like a market, the system not much better than bad, and the so different expectations & approach of lecturers not even in the same channel, at the end those who pay are the fucked up party)

Time after dinner at Jalan Alor... Ops, yes, 1st day we have ice-breaking assignment for studio already. We went out looking for free standing pedestrian bridges. I think we have enough info.

Yup, while taking monorail back after dinner, some random guy started to talk with us, we found out that he is some consultant, from construction line. I'm not sure how, he led to the topic of final presentation, and the replay of the last sem's fucked up presentation being discussed again. All the time, I never even speak a word, just listen.

There was a time, he said :"...always remember that, you pay your fucking lecturers, they have no right to shut you from presenting, logically. If more than half of your class being shut off, you must remind yourself, you paid for their salary!......"

Then, I was thinking, quite true on what he said, but I don't know what can we do if the numbers were more than 50%. It's not much different from they collecting RM1740 for Industrial Training from us. We just don't know what to do. A lot of us not happy with that, but somehow, it's our final semester already... We are like other typical Malaysians, want some peaceful days, avoid too much surprises (or you call it controversies), prevent to deal with political parties in college; at the end, at the 1st day, everyone choose to not do anything. Well, it has no big deal to them, most of the people study in Taylor's College are rich (fuck that). That's the artistic point of our country, we blur the line of right and wrong.

I'm like most of the people, looking forward to Environmental Science subject, it was quite interesting, the introduction of subject by the familiar faces.

That was how the 1st day of Semester 6.

Melaka Trip (25-26.7.09) - People & Expressions

2009-07-27T00:54:00.013+08:00

I guess this was the only trip for us, as all of us were busying for Industrial Training. It was awesome to see the brilliant smiles and funny expression from everyone's face. Although it was just a short 2 days 1 night trip, the faces and expressions tell how fun it was.

In the car...On the way to Melaka

"Where is my chendol?...."

"I say again...Where is my chendol?"

"W.H.E.R.E.I.S.M.Y.C.H.E.N.D.O.L!"

"God....Gordon just want a small bowl of chendol...nothing else..."

"Give me my chendol...."

"Gimme chendol before I show knife..."

Darren:" Say Chendol!"

I thought you want chendol? Take picture pulak...

"Chendol~!"

"Chen~dol!"

"Ah...."

"Where is my 2nd bowl of chendol?"

"Am I cute?"
Yes for an auntie XD

"I like!"

"I no like!"

"Frame me"

"Frame me! 2 more seconds!"

"I want a cool shot!"

"How should I pose..."

"Ahahahaha... Tell me how?"

"I see crocodile!"

"I want cool shot also!"

"I want to take photo! What you want?!"

"Is there something on my camera?"

"Childhood....Superman..."

"I miss my bike! I wanna fly!"

"You wanna upskirt shot? Here yea go!"

"Freeze!"

"Don't push me down..."

"I'm a good poser....EMO"

"We are so cute"

"Yea Tao Fu Fa!"

"Told you already...I'm a good poser. ACT COOL!"

"Syok..."

"Ah Pek blows"

"I blow!"

"You wanna continue to blow?"

"I blow!"

"We blow!"

"The word BLOW so wrong!"

Group picture before home

1 Pictar = 1k words?

2009-07-22T16:45:00.003+08:00

People always said a picture tells a thousand words...
I somehow found this picture while cleaning my hard disk.
Perhaps it's one of the nicest photo taken using my already-spoiled-olympus-digital-camera.
I was facing the monitor screen, scratching head, thinking, what poetic shit or great caption can match this photo...
10 minutes passed.

I found this photo accidentally. I feel it's nice. I want to share with everyone. I posted it here. That's the thousand words for this picture.

You expecting poetic phrases or caption from this photo?
Yea?
Ready?
Here you go:

Get real, assholes.

Fucked up people, Fucked up mood, Fucked up surrounding, & Fucked up me (18PA)

2009-07-21T23:37:00.006+08:00

Due to having great amount of exercise, hours of having dinner & chit chat with a long-lost-contact primary schoolmate(high schoolmate as well), late night online discussion on the coming weekend's trip; I lack of a proper sleep.

Roommate gaming till late of midnight, with the light on, woken up few times in a role, by the strong luminance, as well as the bombing noises of the game.

Early in the morning, woke up reluctantly, the idea of not given a water heater, making the freshening showering part always lips biting. Saw the cover of the toilet bowl capped down, instinct told me that's bad. Somehow, in order to use it, I have to uncap it. My instinct hardly wrong, right away I saw the fucking messed of brownie still sticking deep inside, stink; I flushed it immediately, turned my head to the sleeping dead roommate, my mood turned worse.

I had my breakfast and coffee, not like usual, it didn't help to change my mood.
Early in the morning, with the risen bad mood, keep worsening; gained madness within when encountered one of the usual fuckers. That kind of attitude made me feel fucked up. I felt like screaming.

All that while, it was you, your sms-es, as well as the few-chapters-left novel, that kept me calm.

I had a peaceful lunch, finished my novel, decided to get a new book after work.

"You are a good pretender aren't you?"
Recalling no one from the phone, sms-es, colleague-talks, facebook chat, sensed my mood was sux to the core.
"Well, what's the point of showing my emotion? Time, people, everything won't stop moving on."

After work, I decided to walk around Mid Valley, to try to get myself a pair of new shoes. It's sale season after all. I even had more time to look carefully, after receiving call from Andy, that he was finally here ,and want to have dinner with me. Great!

Spotted quite a numbers of the shoes I like, but flipping the price tags and realise the costs were painful one. Fuck that.

Every time i flipped the price tag, I cursed, and thoughts keep coming out.And the inner selfs, keep reasoning over every single point of thoughts...Layers of self questioning, and answering.

"You don't want that shoes already? Leave it there, don't throw."
That was what dad told. The next holiday I came back, the shoes still there, but the condition worsen.
"Your dad said still wearable."
Mum saw my doubt and solved it.
"His shoes are cheap enough, what's the point of keeping it so long when it's torn?"
That was what in my mind, and I stopped myself from thinking what I was thinking right there immediately. Somehow, it continuously produced and kept in compressed form, silently, somewhere.

Flipping the price tag of a 40% discount shoes...
"Fuck that" I cursed, feeling unreasonable still have to pay RM150 for the shoes.

"How much you spend a day for everything as a working adult?"
I remember how I asked that question to my dad while he giving me a coin of 50cents, when I was 8.
"Mum makes breakfast in the morning, me and your uncles having chicken rice or mixed rice during lunch, and dinner I eat at home, with you all."
I still staring at my dad, eyes open wide, still waiting for any numeral to appear for the calculation.
"Around RM2.50-RM4.00 !"
There he interrupted my thought. I staring at the 50cents on my palm, wondering how much, how much, how much I buy if I have RM 2.50...
The same old memory, but the brain just won't stop doing the common calculation, as well as comparisons.

"RM 179.90 after discount, sir..."
The sales person told me after some clicking on his palm-size calculator.

"RM 294, Fuck that!" "RM 160, no thanks!" "RM 199.90, mother fucker you call this sales season?"
More fucking memories surfacing...
More cursing...
and etc.

"RM 135, take it already, Darren. Look at your shoes."
"It's just RM69 for this(pointing at my shoes)"
"That's why it only lasts you 4 months."
"You don't know how long RM135 can lasts you as well"
"If it's RM100 below, I try. No for this."
"Come on, inside your wallet can buy 2 pairs of it, inside your account, you can get more of this or better!"
"That's not the case I guess."

"This is great, RM 169.90! Shit..."
"Break the trad of your fucking dad, different era already."
"I've broken it in every single way."
"Yea right, you are struggling cheaply here, like him, wearing your torn shoes."
"Fuck that he still spending RM 3.00 for chicken rice, daily! I spend RM 5 at least, every meal, daily! His shoes, RM 49.90, and he is complaining. My shoes, average RM 70! I want good cellphones! He doesn't even have one! In what fucking sense I didn't breakthrough? God blessed me!"

"Darren, it's just your need, wearable, reasonable, can already..."
"Yes i know, but think this way as well. You need a bag, I give you a power ranger bag. Fulfill your needs already. But you know, you will never use that bag. Get the idea?"
"Power Rangers nowadays is not cheap dude."
"Get the idea, no out of topic please."

"Fuck you, you buy your friends helmet of RM 120, shirts of RM 70, jeans of RM 170, shoes of RM 300, and yet, you are not willing to pay more than RM 100 for your shoes?"
"That's their blessings, they deserved it."
"You don't deserved the blessings?"
"You are not God, how you bless yourself, fool."
"For fuck's sake, you have the money, do it already."
"Spending without brain are fuckers."
"You spent a lot without brains already."
"You mean movies with friends, fellowship with friends, treat them, and etc? Those are the things that you can't keep, idiot, no point of being stingy in front of everyone."
"You are just a student, you spending parents' money. What's wrong being stingy?"
"Look at the bigger picture. You don't want people to describe you as stingy in the future. You will miss a lot of great opportunities."
"There are people say you are rich, you don't like it. Why don't just pay for the shoes, and prove it?"
"I'm not the one to carry the adjective-RICH. It's my dad! And I know hie wealth came from saving! RM2.50-RM4 daily of spending only! It's not earning, it's saving! His fucking career will end at his generation already. Start dieing already! You get that? I hate being described RICH, but at the same time, I feel proud of my dad!"
"Ok ok, too much of fight in among ours ourselves. Look, you work 2 months, your total pay, minus the leaves you took, you should be having around RM 500 - RM 600. Use it to buy your shoes."
"I can treat it as nothing, If industrial training is not categorised as a subject. It costs RM1740, bastard. Assume I get RM 600, I still went negative RM 1140. You can't treat that as nothing."
"Fuck that."
"Fuck that."

and etc, and etc of selfs fighting inside the brain.

Thanks Andy for coming in time, preventing me from being dragged to further exhaustion. It was awesome to see you look good, doing well. All the best to your coming days here, and have fun. Keep in touch.

"You publish this in your blog..Fuck."
"What? I can't shout to anyone, I can't kill, I can't choose to affect people's mood with my bad mood. Write here is the best of course."
"There are people gonna say you produce another piece of crap. Write so long, also no one read."
"Well, it's like my diary, and you read it as a story. If you feel that it's long, shit, and heck..How do they know? They must have finished reading the long shit aren't they? If they are not reading it? Great. I hardly ask people to read my blog. Eventually, it's up to them."
"You post it, means you want people to read aren't you?"
"No.I just leave it there. It's like a public diary."
"Don't you think sometimes the thing you write, like invisible arrow, piercing some categories of people?"
"I never ask them to read. It's their responsible on their emotion if they choose to read. Rudest thing they can do, take a gun, hunt me down."
"You are making enemies..."
"No. I never look at person. I look at case. I won't hate a person. I only hate their attitude on dealing the related case. I still good with everyone out there. If they read the passage, they react, it's them, making enemies. Not me."
"You write so long...It's just about the struggling shit of your own on shoes... There are people gonna say you dumb shit and etc."
"May be yes. May be they are shallow. May be their background are really good. They won't feel what I feel, so it's normal. A living-happily-couple can't council a newly divorced couple as they never encounter that situation. A divorced individual can't council the newly divorced couple as well, as he/she will only make you lost faith in marriage even more. Sometimes, the single individual that are not attached, doing better! I believe, there are still people, understand what shit I'm writing. And feel the same."
"Your spiritual leaders gonna be sad seeing all vulgar around." "According to somewhere of some day's newspaper, swearing makes people feel dominating over something, which include fear, stress, and etc. And I stated 18PA already."
"They must be sad about your growth and they way you chosen. So zero culture."
"Whatever, I did it consciously, I saw all options. You can't take a nude photograph with your model wrapped like mummy."
"She must be sad she didn't know your mood not good, and feel worse she can't do anything to help."
"I said already. I don't one the negativity to be spread. I deal it myself." Stop here.

Sometimes I wish I'm more simple minded
Sometimes I wish money fall from heaven
Sometimes I wish I'm a spoiled brat
Sometimes I wish we get cheaper stuffs here
Sometimes I wish there are lesser spoiled brat (because they are everywhere, own every good things, make you envy)
Sometimes I wish I can own everything
Sometimes......
Yet, I'm happy with who I am, and appreciate my background.

A day that only see sun shines during the fucked up night

Isolation

2009-07-20T12:59:00.000+08:00

Not about the composition of the craft and the blank space that makes Isolation...
It's more about the distance, and visual realm.
The Isolation of lost experience with tactility, scale and details.
The Isolation of unseen reality

Reaching The Beautiful Sky

2009-07-20T08:30:00.002+08:00

Life is like drawing a series of lines to reach the sky
Years of trying, yet none of them knotted to the sky
Eventually, lying in the coffin, staring through the lines
Sigh, what a beautiful sky...

A day of wandering around Bukit Bintang

2009-07-19T01:38:00.010+08:00

Date: 18.07.2009
Time: 2.00pm-11.35pm
Location: Around Bukit Bintang
Member(s): me, me, and me

I have to say, the timing, everything on that day itself, gone so well.

2.00pm-2.25pm
At Jalan Alor I had my lunch--Char Siew Rice.
Too hungry, no photo taken. But you got to try that, I mean, it's nice

2.25pm-2.35pm
Taken some photos, the weather was just not that great, but nothing to complain. The air quality was hazy, polluted. The sky was not blue obviously.

The fountain of Wealth & Fortune, right in front of Pavilion

2.35pm-2.45pm
Half conscious, I found myself in front of Golden Screen Cinema inside the Pavilion. Staring at the screen, the only movie I want to watch was Public Enemies. Stated clearly on the screen, Public Enemy : 3.10pm (sold out)release time 2.40pm, 5.00pm (selling fast)re...
I can't explain why or what, yup, with faith, I still on the line =)
Finally reached my turn to buy the ticket, I got a damn good seat. The day was great.

2.45pm-3.08pm
Lining up for a cup of coke.

3.08pm-5.50pm
Inside the cinema. The movie, just....normal... Draggy...and long...and lack of strong climax. Interesting noisy quality of scenes the director played with. It did try to tell the story of 1933's quite well.

5.50pm onwards
Walked back out to the street, wandering around Bukit Bintang, see how's the coming night life looks like. The sunset was great, the weather slightly cooled down. Excellent. I lost track of at what time which location I was at. The pictures will tell now.

I wander what building is that, it huge structure on its side always catch my attention

Picolo hotel. One of the not so squarish one. It turned golden.

The always-busy-junction

Whenever there are people, there are business

A lot of bapa ayam around this area

I walked alone, with a camera.
He saw me, with broken English he asked:" You want to find ladies? Chicks?"
"No" I replied.
Total of 6 different bapa ayam asked me the same question in one evening.

Building.Sky.Birds

I stand behind him, staring, for 3 minutes... It looks delicious, I guess it won't cost cheaply.

Jalan Alor

Dinner time, there I back to Jalan Alor. Whenever people talk about nice food, this will be the 1st place they suggest. A good excuse for the food here to cost at least 50cents more expensive.

I was lucky enough to see a member of DBKL asked for "duit kopi" from one of the stall's owner. I was unfortunate enough, these people are so professional in doing that, as you can see in the photo, right hand was passing the money, left hand the book blocked my vision and the camera fom doing a great job. I so wish I caught the money passed between, and his face.

May be I miss Penang quite much, I ordered Char Kuey Teow and Fried Oyster with egg as my dinner.
Well, the Kuey Teow undeniably, the best around the town. It deserved long queue of people there. Don't ask me how is it if compared to Penang's, you can't compare them, it's different level at all. Enough said=)

Fried oyster with egg...WHAT THE HELL IS THAT? IT'S A TOTAL SHAME OF JALAN ALOR!!
Ops....I mean, that was awful. Taiwan's fried oyester with egg was the worst, full of flour. This can be the 1st runner up. Oyster, egg and flour, are seperated at all. Think more than twice if you gonna order this. If you think it's good, probably, F you and F your taste bud you low life XD

The colour of the sky and the building profile, awesome!

Somehow, sometime before the day fully gone dark, I wandered back again to the Pavilion.

Look! They fountain has lights in it! And it changes colours!

Indeed, this is full of discussion in my circle. I guess, almost all of the people I know, from my course, said it it is fugly.

"OMG! WTH!"
"Conceptually failed!"
"Gosh this is so ugly!"
"Why they do this!"
"Shameful!"
"The language wrong at all!"
"I'd rather they left it empty and let temporary events take place!"

and etc.

Since they talk so much, I decided to just walk and sit around, and observe. The general public have quite extreme different view I got to say. More of them see it as an icon, a master piece, although there are people said it is too bulky, and small amount of people think it's ugly.
I spent 15 minutes walked around the fountain, and captured the pictures above. I tried to see what effects it brought to the surrounding, and the people around. Before I reach my conclusion on this, I just want to say, I never have any sense of love on this fountain, at the same time, I don't hate it as well.
My observation says:

Design something nice is difficult
Design something functioning even harder
Design something nice and works,even more difficult than the 2 statements above

I think functionally, the fountain works quite well, in common sense wise, it cools down the temperature around, with its location right in the middle of triangular junction that promotes ventilation, the cooling effect proven works.
The photos showed the interaction of it with human. It's not a wasted piece.
To describe this situation, the DAIA soap powder advertisement is the best example. Everyone remembers the colourful haired guy riding elephant introducing the soap powder.
Quality of the advert, sux; plot sux as well.
But it works. How many years ago already? Yup, you still remember. XD

I lazy to take train back, so I decided to walk around, wait until 11pm, follow Jerry's car home.

Then, I walked into Pavilion again, and saw this....

Sexy curve

No worry, babe. It's just a HerChair

If there is a HerChair, there must be a HimChair as well...
Interesting design isn't it?

10.45pm
I found the place Jerry works at. Frangipani. They had a bar upsthere, besides a restaurant downstere serving fine dining.

There are only the bartenders and handful of foreigners in the bar. I was talking to the bartender while waiting for Jerry. the night was still young, described by one of the bartenders. People will only start to come in after 12.
That was the 1st time I step into a bar, nothing caught my attention, may be I gone in at the wrong timing.

Smockin' Gun I ordered. A whisky base cocktail, mixed with vanilla, apple sour, smocked apple and lime. The bartender recommended a great drink. It's a reward wining cocktail from one of their bartender in France.

11.35pm
Whoosh~ That's all for my Saturday.

SERVE the net

2009-07-17T23:47:00.002+08:00

I was face palming for seconds, started to laugh for minutes.
What do you mean by SERVE the net?
"Aye I gonna burn you with firewall you hacker!" <----- SERVE the net
"I post all solutions to dummies!" <----- SERVE the net
"I strip clothes from skin piece by piece, snapshot, upload!" SERVE the net

Conclusion of seconds + minutes = The last one brings the "LOLZ"

**Note the posting time, it get applied quick on another wall~

I mean.....Harry Potter, Public Enemy & Pelham 123

KLUE UrbanScapes 2009

2009-06-30T23:49:00.012+08:00

It was a quite awesome event I have to say.
That was the first time I attended the KLUE's Urbanscapes. That was also because again the usual familiar faces with some new faces helping Fabian on his installation for this event.
There are lots of plays, performances, concert, as well as selling going on at different places in KLPAC.

This time, the installation team includes me, Li Qun, Gordon, Benjamin, Kai Zheng, Ki Jun and Douglas.
The installation was kinda fast, as the scale is super small and quick. What took us most time was the unpredictable weather, which led us from under the tree to the steps, and eventually to the box entrance.
Some sneak leak on the highly confidential progress:

Although the initial discussed idea wasn't boxes and steps, but I have to say, this 2nd stage's change, the proportion was lovely...It only can be done on steps.

On that day of the event itself, Sherman asked me whether that's Fabian when Fabian walking towards our direction from far.
I said yes with question marks in my head because it's so ridiculous he can't recognise that bastard.
While still wondering, Sherman asked me why the hell he becomes so skinny. That time, Fabian's already standing in front of me. I explained he took drug.
Fabian: ".....Heh..To cut the story short, yup...drugs..."
Sherman blanked for seconds.

This is kind of the end product

The only camwhore picture of the installation

Gonna create a photo album for this event in FB, and this pic gonna be the cover of the folder XD

KLPAC, as cool as always... One of the very great architecture in my opinion.

Some other installations that I think are interesting...

Lisa's... It works so much nicer at night

Someone's...quick and resourcefull according to my knowledge about his progress of installation. Artistic.

Sherman, one of the on rising pro photographer of our batch. Very pro... Sometimes I wonder he enjoys every single event he went or not... May be with camera, yes. What if with no camera?

This time, me and Ben got interviewed by the same old astro channel again. Yes, again...Ops, one more person, Fabian also.

Some corner's performances

They caught my attention at 1st sight...but...Well, lets have some closer zoom

Oops....Quite talented and...retarded look. LOL

I saw Super Mutant Brute with metal armor and big guns....But not with balloons....

Some great songs at the Lawn by Pop Shuvit, and Yuna. Attracted a lot of people around 5pm...Although it wasn't a good time slot.

A lot of people...

I wonder...did they do it on purpose? For the specific mineral water company?

Yuna, I didn't know her until she sang. I know her songs only, before that.

I think what I have here, are just 10% of the whole day event, or even lesser....
It's a really great event, a very mass-comm-like-event, and I like it.

I was planning to actually stay whole day, from 12pm-12am. But too many stuffs and people around blabla here and there.

For those who don't like loud music, this is not what you will like. You will ended up bugging your friend with questions like "Actually I don't get a point of this event..What are we supposed to do?"

For those think that the items sold in the market place in this event are expensive like hell, this is not what you will like. Do understand how rare the items they are selling. There are designers' items, and even some of them, only available online most of the time you fuck. And, do understand part of the earning go to charity.

For those think that you gonna get swine flu, this event is not for you either. It's unofficially reported in facebook that, at least 4 people went to this event suspected to have swine flu. So beware, for those who went. My body still good, show no sign. Hope nothing will gone wrong to me.

For those that will enjoy these kind of events, don't go with the people that will show the signs above. Or else, blame no one that you will encounters these things:

Your friend(s) will keep asking you what this event supposed to be and what to do while you enjoying the flow of the event.
While you are enjoying a specific play or performance, your friend will bug you to go and check out some other stuffs that are going on.
While you thinking of purchasing some nice designers' shirts, they keep yelling at the price or keep complaining the weather is fucking hot, it makes you feel guilty to stop or buy.
While you trying to sit down, observe the flow of people and things that are going on, hope that you will feed your camera with some great quality moments, your friend(s) sit beside you helplessly. This will make you feel guilty for sitting any longer.
And etc.

Anyway, that night, we had quite a great BBQ at Wai Sie's house. Thanks for the chicken from your hometown.

I got locked between lobby and internal staircase!

2009-06-08T22:06:00.002+08:00

"Clob!"

"Why is the door to the internal staircase closed?"
Instead of waiting for the only working lift among the threes, I decided to use the fire escape route to go to the mezzanine floor, from our very-not-so-high-4th floor-office.

By the time my hand reach the knob of the internal staircase, realised it is a one-way self closing fire door, turn my head back, body tried to react as fast as it could, the closest door to me was on my left. My instinct told me it's access to M&E.

The self closing door I pushed open from lobby, almost touching the door frame, right hand holding my bag while leaping forward right after a quick turn, left hand eventually touch the door knob...

"Clobbbb!"
The tapping sound of the heavy fire door on the door frame echoed the space os 1.5m x 2m.

"Good God! Tell me this is not one way's!"

"Krrk..krrk....krk..krk..krk..krk.krk.bamp!"
Twisting the knob left and right, hopeless, it's locked, still, behavior of human nature surfaced, when the door asks to push, we pull. With right hand holding my bag still, left hand trying to twist for a miracle. Finally, a kick on a door.

Laugh out at myself, such dramatic scene can happen on me. Laugh even louder, when I drag my cell phone out of my pocket, no matter what I click on the keypad, the screen remain a peaceful of reflective darkness, reflecting the whiteness of the space, reflected the door to the internal staircase, reflected the always locked M&E door, and an reddish emergency phone carved into the wall, 1.5m away from the M&E access.

My cellphone battery was flatten. That was so Hong Kong series.

Still unbelievable, laughing at myself, at the same time knocking on the door facing the lobby, 3m away facing the firm I'm working at.

After 1 minute of continuous knocking and shouting, heard the familiar beep sound of the the door of office, people punching out, leaving. Barely I can hear the footsteps, knocked the door harder, the footsteps get closer and closer, and then, get further and further, faded. The closed lift door swallowed the footsteps.

Turned my head staring at the alert red emergency phone
"15 minutes, no one open the door, I gonna use that, to call powerpuff girl. I mean, to bother the firefighter..."

At the same time, my right hand switched with my left hand, to continue the knocking work.
3 minutes later, another beep sound, I heard a pair of shoes and high heels. I knocked harder, the footsteps stopped, I heard some voices, I tried even harder! I couldn't here any sharp noise made by the high heels anymore, I knocked the hardest, as the tempo went "BAMP!-BAMP!BAMP!"

I stopped, to hear whether the noises again swollen by lift again.

"Gssshhh!"
A breeze of fresher air, with the mix of warmer breath, the familiar warm breath from smoker, brush through my face.

It's Mr. Ong, the draughtman in my department, holding another side of the door knob, with question marks and on top the head, and surprise expression on the face. While Angie we call, Angeline stood right infront of office's door, the expression turned from full of wonerings, to relief smile.

Luckily this freaking event never last longer than 15 minutes...

The more hardworking you are, the luckier you will be

2009-06-01T16:46:00.002+08:00

Can you imagine what a person can do when he/she is desperate?
I have to fulfill 2 months of internship during this holiday, since 2 weeks ago, I had been going to interviews, sending emails, and doing callings.

Until last week, was called to the interview, sadly the person in charge of trainees wasn't there. Eventually was asked to call them back for update this morning.
Sadly, they want trainees, but it's only after end of June. It's impossible for me to only start after end of June!

There started the hardworking part...
From 9a.m. till around an hour ago, I had been searching more firms, looking back at the firms never give me reply, tracing back them, do callings, at the same time email them my resume and related attachments.

I can list the firms down, as it might be helpful for some readers here.
Pentago
Introduced by Wai Sie, as I was quite desperate already. Emailed, contacted, went to the interview last friday, being asked to called this morning, told only need trainees after end of June.

Veritas
Email sent 2 weeks ago. Called this afternoon. The reaction told me they never receive my mail, or may be didn't even check or bother. Being told my phone number passed to the boss, being asked to wait for call.

Hijjas Kasturi
Found and called some time of this afternoon, emailed as well. Sounded like they want a trainee to work for them, until I say 2 months. They refuse to take trainees that work no more than 3 months.

A&A Architects
Found today, called and emailed some time of this afternoon. "Person in charge is not here. Do call in again tomorrow morning".

Atelier ADT Akitek
Found today, called and emailed this afternoon. Have enough trainees already.

RSP Akitek
Found this afternoon, called and emailed this afternoon. Only need 1 trainee, and they already have 1.

Unit One Design Consultancy
Found this afternoon as well, called, have enough numbers of trainees.

GDP
Called, and emailed this afternoon, have enough numbers of trainees.

Seksan Design
Emailed 2 weeks ago. Called 1 week ago. Doesn't need any trainee at the moment.

zlgdesign
Emailed 2 weeks ago. Replied by the firm 2 weeks ago as well. Doesn't need any trainee at the moment. One of the firm that no harm of sending them resume, as they are the one of those who will reply you.

Archicentre
Emailed 1 week ago. Never get any reply. Rumors said they have a lot of trainees already.

Y'shin Architect
I screwed myself on this firm 1 week ago. Sent a screwed up application email to them accidentally while I was called by someone in the phone. Not by my finger, by my boook drop on the mouse's left click. And, the "luckiest" thing, the mouse cursor aiming on the "send" button. I haven't edited the email!
What was wrong?
"Application for internship in Archicentre"
What will you do if you are Y'shin Architect?
Common, ignore the email.
I will email archicentre website to people that make that mistake.

Building Bloc
A website of the firm, with least needed information. No adress, no phone numbers. Only 2 emails provided. But they are the one that i give them 2 thumbs up. Sent the email last week. The next day morning, called me and explained due to their office under renovation, they can't take any trainee now, but welcome me to contact them if next time still wish to work with them.

D.C.A
This was my last option. I don't really like to work with the people I know such as relatives or lecturers. One of my lecturer, Ar. Chan Mun Inn of last studio, is in this firm. With the dilemma between "should I wait for SAA to call" or "should I call Mun Inn", Aaron Lau suggest me to call Mun Inn, as Hau Yee in SAA, sms-ed me said they received my email, still didn't have a bright answer.

SAA
Email sent last week, but no replied. Called last week and today, was asked to wait, then was asked to resend the email. Asked Hau Yee to help asking whether they need trainees, was told that they need total of 6, they hav 3 already, and Jing Hao together with Seow Liang went to that firm for interview straight without call and email. The time was asked by Mun Inn to email him related documents. I was accepted by SAA together wih Mee Yi, right after I emailed Mun Inn. Officialy, me and Mee Yi owe Hau Yee a lunch. And SAA had a day of Taylorution.

Above are the firms that I have called and emailed, which you see what I mean, "The more hardworking you are, the luckier you will be". But the lucky part will only come last. Still, they will put you in some dilemma situation like "Should I accept SAA" or "Should I wait a yes answer from Mun Inn".

I know, there are not over 20 firms above. Those firms without website, I lazy to put them up here already... I remember there are around 10 firms without websites I have contacted as well. All of them gave negative answer, except Ar. C.K. Siew, firm located in Puchong Plaza. Honest, it's too far for me.

Thought of The Day

2009-05-23T22:11:00.004+08:00

Photo credits to Ed.ward, flickr.com

If this is told to be done by Frank Gehry, he doesn't even need to say anything.
People, media, some fucking architects, and etc will help him say something like
"Oh, it's another masterpiece of Gehry's. It's the reflection of contemporary chaos of society..." and etc and etc...

If this is told to be done by you for your final project, you are thought retarded...

When you are famous and recognised, every silly things you've done, is inspiring.
When you are just ordinary, every silly things you've done, considered retarded.

Siti: You screwed! ; Oma: It's alright. You know how good it is.

2009-05-21T22:13:00.005+08:00

It's pretty fast, that one semester had ended 2 days ago.

The final 2 weeks, I have to admit, it was as tough as hell, rushing the final project.

The pictures below, is my design's rendering. It's a car modification gallery.

This post, I'm not showing off all the detail drawings, ideas, or any portfolio pages.. Just keep as simple as this few pictures.

It is the very 1st time I don't get to present my work during crit day. I don't know who should I blame at.
I feel very sorry to the lecturers, I feel very sorry to my friends, I feel most sorry to myself.

I don't really know what had gone wrong. I design manually since the beginning, I never abuse any 3d software. I done all the initial stages through my hands.
Shits happened when I come to the point of translating my design into a 3d model for rendering purpose, and plans & sections producing.
I scheduled everything, and failed to follow all the schedule! ALL! More than 20 of them in few days time!

Firstly, I spent time exploring how my design can be done by sketch up. That ate a lot of time, as the file getting bigger and bigger, together the back up filess, without I realising.

Then, when I want to render, it couldn't be rendered at all! The file is too freaking big! It took more than 20 minutes to open the file, it took minutes to do a small change and a rotate!

I decided to export perspective and nice angles 2D, photoshop it as I couldn't render them! But, the effect was unbelievably sux! Although this failed, again, I'm quite impressed I able to switch plan so swiftly at all! Thanks to Fabian Tan, teaching me a lot on common sense.

It was Monday already, 1 week struggling without sleep, and screwed by clashes and slashes...I have no choice, but try to remake the whole 3D model! Thanks God it works finally!

Finally, 2a.m of Tuesday. I can start doing my plans and section. Another blow of nightmare...serious... My 3d model is too complicated, that it can't be zorroed to produce me a base lines to be edited in autocad! Everytime the PC hang for 30mins then bug splat! Gosh!
I have no proper manual reference as I design all the way manually with sketches, and don't have the so freaking detail fragments' dimension! The waiting, worrying, and trying to manually start from zero in autocad progress, had took me whole freaking night.

At the end, a sudden idea, I ended up exporting the parallel view of plans, sections from sketch up straight to presentation board, which was not allowed. I had no choice at all.

Even when i rushed for my presentation board, I was having problem of converting the file to printing valid format! I was prepared to present with softcopy but was asked to come out with hardcopy no matter what.
I tried my best, I can't make it on time at last.

I was blank, dissapointed, upset, helpless, even feel worse when Li Qun tears dropped as he can't make it to the presentation as well. He had help me a lot throughout the night, with advices as well. Imagine if he never help me at all, he could had made it already. I was put into a situation that was speechless, want to say sorry, but can't. It will only makes him feel worse!

The most sux thing is, I myself, like my design a lot! Not now, but the time when I done doing it! It is the first time, I am allowed to do what I wanted to! The hybrid of straight line and curve line! The meeting of Siti & Oma! 1:1 of them was always what I wanted to do, but rejected since Studio 1!

I had paid most effort than ever before, yet at the end, I don't know who to blame. Me? I didn't abuse software, I design manually till the design stage ended! What then? Blame the software? That's lame.

I don't know what to say.
The Siti inside me said "That's the best design I had produced so far, yet I screwed up all the points"
The Oma inside me said "Nevermind. People will know how good my design is. I have done my best, I like it, there are peopole like it as well. it's alright."

Happy holiday people...it's gonna be busy for me.

The Light Show: Light Sculpure Exhibition 16.04.09

2009-04-18T01:58:00.014+08:00

Finally, 16 of April, The Light Sculpture Exhibition had been launched successfully! It was superbly awesome, I got to say, it was one of the most exciting and great event Annexe Gallery had, among all the exhibition and event I had attended.

This exhibition features assortment of lights and light installations made from recycled/ found objects to humour, cajole, and inspire. Exhibitors include Bernard Chauly, Carolyn Lau, Fabian Tan, Farah Azizan, Jazmi Izwan Jamal, Lisa Foo, Loh Kok Man, Mah Su Sim, and Richard Lau.

One of the very special thing on this exhibition was that, me, Li Qun and Gordon proudly were invited by Fabian Tan to help to make his light installation designs come to life! We had an hardcore weekend, which we forgotten when is day and night, it was long introduced to us, 1 month ago if not mistaken, due to we have to deal with our own assignment as well, the duration of doing it and hardcore doing it was around 1 week.

For some people, do take note that we got paid, but the first approach of helping wasn't because of we will be paid, it's our own willingness, and passion to take up the fun.

The hard work was all worthwhile, we had fun until the very final moment, at the same time, a lot of things screwed us up as well. Yup, event the very last minute, technical things gone wrong, bulb not working, paint color gone wrong, and my life even almost taken by an electrical shock! Thanks God problem got their solution, and I'm still alive!

Final Masterpiece arrangement touch up

Yes, we were tired, but healed when all things ran successfully.

Gordon:" Li Qun is like just got raped and exhaustedly lying there. LOL"

Still, we can't miss out the camwhore session with the masterpiece we helped Fabian. This is the Electrolide series

Mondrian playing with marbles

The GuLight in the middle, Snake on the left, and Mon on the right

Li Qun acted like Grand Designer

The aura

Delicious

Fabian: You guys done camwhoring?
Li Qun: Almost la...We hardly do that you know? It's part of the appreciation...
Fabian: Ok, It's my turn.
Li Qun, Darren, Gordon: WTH!

Finally, everything was done, one 45mins of peaceful moment to go before the 8pm launching...

8.40pm, Malaysian's timing always won't be punctual... Finally the owner of the gallery, also the host of the night, had started to gather all the people, introducing the exhibition, and presented everyone a dancing performance, which playing with the surrounding installations, around the 2 exhibition spaces.
Except the out of expectation numbers of visitors affect the fluentness of the performance, overall, it was artistic and impacting enough. Great!
The end part, I could't event snap anything at all, it was too dark, which I only have this, part of the setting..

It's like some new icon of Windows Isn't it?

Taken 9.30pm, before went back. This is 60% of the visitors only. It was more, so you know how happening it was, and how jam packed it was.

Every single of them can be potential buyer of any single exhibited masterpiece

People like Choong Wai, Khang Siang, Aaron C, Wai Sie, Zaki, Najat, Huei Liq, Genie, Lai Teng, Chit Jia were there as well.

They are made by bottle parts!

See carefully, it's milk box!

The bulb is so old school!! And can you imagine the whole thing made by cat food can?

Love the plasticity quality of it! It's so uber cool!

A surreal piece. You gonna stand below and witness it yourself. Even the photo can't bring the exact quality of it

A fun piece which playing with marble colours and Braille alphabets. I won't tell you what it means, until the exhibition ends
It is "XXXX XXX XXXXX"
Hint: Blind people see more clearly than ordinary people.

Computer parts

An very expensive piece (5 figures)

White board, I mean bulb, to write your appreciation to China and The States of America together moving green

Personally, I very like this one, one of the marble series we did:
Latest news from Fabian, 3 pieces had been sold, but this piece is still waiting for his buyer. This piece is so freaking cool!

Something that we did, if the artists knew it, they so gonna puke blood:

My imitating expression looked so offensive to its expression

Halo!

Korek-ing gold mine

Lit the candle, make a wish, blow it, to show support to the earth hour... We did this before the launch. When things still being set up.

Yes, I know, this is a very long post, but numbers of people asked me to upload the pictures. I have to do it, even you are not telling me that. This is really very good, even you go now, you had missed the impaction of that day itself. It's okay, I try my best, to share everything I have. I hope you enjoy reading and viewing it!

Crooked-face housemate with crooked attitude

2009-04-12T22:23:00.003+08:00

I have decided I want to blog about one of my housemate, as I was saying about it with Aaron Lau, he has the same problem as well.

This semester, I have 3 new housemates, which the first one is in hotel management course; the second one is in culinary art course; and the recent one, is in the course of interior design.

The one I'm going to mention here is the second one, which is the culinary boy.

It's very normal, a very basic must-do-thing when you first move into a new unit. I'm saying, introduce yourself to other housemates. Well, at least this is the very first thing I will do, and I believe a lot of you will do. Even though never have chance to see some of the housemate on the first day, we try to bump into them and talk to them, know one another.

This crooked-face dude just never do that at all. Well, about 1 month ago when he moved in, I admit I was quite busy, only come back during the midnight. I only realised I have a new housemate after when one of the housemate, together with my roommate(uncle and auntie told them) told me; when I asked. Because, I bumped into him when I came back from college, and saw him walked in and out of his room that whole day. Initially I thought he was a friend of my ex housemate.

Well, I don't really have a problem if initiative is not taken by the new comer to introduce themselves. I will do it when I see them. But the problem of him is that, I already done that, and the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and every single time till now, I see him, I give him a smile, say a "hi", he will just look at you without any expression, and continue do his thing.
I wonder is it his crooked face can't make any expression? If it is like that, I will forgive him and won't talk about it. The thing is, I saw him with different expressions in college before. Means that his face doesn't have any prob.

Sometimes thinking, since you not even bother to give a damn, why do I? But hell, when I see him again, I will just automatically say "Hi" with a smile, at least. It's a good manner.
I'm not sure about him.

I don't really care his face is crooked or not. But his attitude does remind me of his crooked face, and think that his personality is crooked as well. I just said he has a crooked face, that's the truth. But his attitude makes me mind about that, and make himself ugly.

Brain polluted

2009-04-12T16:00:00.000+08:00

Early Sunday morning, 3am, finally had done helping Fabian doing all his art pieces.
Me, Gor, Li Qun and Fabian had lot of freaking fun time, some pissing off moment due to things screwed up. Well, most of it were fun and funny!

3 of us, need serious brain bleaching.
Believe or not, we were soaked in dirty jokes for days, and what we always heard there were things like
"What the fuck!?"
"Fucking students..."
"For fuck's sake!"
"What the hell!?"
"You fuckers!..."
"Fuck!"
"You bunch of fucking students!"
"The fucking students!"

We need medicine, need brain wash.
Oh well, left set up job on Monday! Weee!!!

Some Nasty Working Process

2009-04-08T21:49:00.004+08:00

Recently me and Li Qun are helping Fabian Tan our ex-tutor to create his master pieces, which are to be exhibited and on sale next Thursday.

A lot of sawing, sanding, planing, drilling, painting, stuffing and etc. to do.

Due to we screwed up quite a lot of things, in this working journey, Fabian had bought quite a lot of new guy toys! I mean things like drill, electrical planer, and some tools.
(JEALOUSnye...)

Anyway, the end product, I shall take photos of them next week.
Now show you some nasty progress, even Fabian was stunned and with his jaw detached.
That's the W.C. in one of the studio, and I'm not telling where. You guess. That's not some kiddo poster colours, every colours, were solid nippon paint!
That's how we do things! XD

Fabian: ....WTF wrong with you guys?.... Can't you guys do the right thing, work properly for once?
Darren, Li Qun: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. That's the way of working! When Uncle Nava or the cleaning kakak asked, we will point our finger to you, Fabian. HAHAHAHA.

Thanks for making my 20th Birthday so special, all my friends!

2009-04-03T23:01:00.003+08:00

First of all, I have to say thank you to all of my classmates that had set me up so well and celebrate my birthday with me yesterday!
I was surprised, and extremely happy. It's memorable. You guys make it so special.

Thanks for people that made it happened, and thanks for the people that joined us, also thanks to the people that greeted me via smses, and facebook, and etc!

Thanks for the birthday gift as well, it was super surprising, that no one can guess it, ever!

C.W.L.

At the same time, I would like to wish myself Happy Birthday, also greet my classmate Wai Sie, happy birthday too!

I love all of you my friends!

KL Design Week-Earth Hour

2009-03-30T00:24:00.007+08:00

Both of the interesting events fall on the same day, which made our weekend filled.
We started from Pasar Seni, KL Central, the exhibition there counted as part of the KL Design Week event. The exhibited stuffs are done by artistic pairs, which means couple designers. Amazingly, we found out that, Fabian and Lisa's name are on the list, which he admitted today, they are couple. Not too much about the scandalous thing, but look at their work.
Among all the other exhibited projects, I think this is the best. Really kudos to Faiban and Lisa when we found out. They call this a curtain wall if not mistaken. It's to reflect the ugliness and 2d dullness of a curtain. This had took them a quite lovely long time, and Fabian refused to tell further detail when I asked about how they fold the canvas, as there are combination of paper as well.

Some of the other not-bad works include:

We (me, Gordon, Aa C, Li Qun) then were kind of stucked in Time Square for a while, and had out dinner at Gasoline, Sungei Wang. I never went there before, laughed by Li Qun. I read about this restaurant via newspaper. After this meal, I got to say, I'd rather go Kim Gary... Somehow, a lot of high school students love to go there.

Me, and the vandalised wall

Li Qun, the contrast of the expressions

Due to the walls are fully vandalised, it caught our attention to do some readings. And, we found this:

After the dinner, we rushed to Cap Square, where the Earth Hour event was held. Detailed opinions refer previous post, here are just to share some photos.
People that served

Performers & Participants

Shutter speed playing

There were more exhibitions inside the Cap-Square, I hope I can go there again if I have time. After the earth hour event, we had too little time to look at all the things. They have good stuffs there...

Good night people! That's all for my weekend!

Earth Hour March 28, 2009.

2009-03-29T00:58:00.002+08:00

Photos will be uploaded soon. Not now.

But I have something to talk about, which you might wanna have a read at this post 1st:
Just Another Gimmick

Before I further moving on, I state my stand, I support this event, very much!
Malaysians are so not sporting, and slow warmer, or you can say, retarded, no talent of prophesying....(Yes, I'm a Malaysian)

People just keep asking question how can you save the earth by switching off the light for an hour? That's not the main thing I guess. It's a very important step to provoke our awareness of our mother earth! The main thing is the chain effects created by this event, and the knowledge inhaled by more people. Why not something bigger? It is still on a very small scale size, you already complain. Big one? You pointing your gun on people already I guess?

For people that not supporting this event by thinking how switching off the light will save the earth, I would say this is just a small step that create Domino's effect. And, if you forever gonna have this thinking, nothing will going to happen in your life. Everything seems so detached and impossible.

For people that saying was told to switch off the light, but the street light still one. WTH. If street light gonna be switched off as well. The WWF as well as encouraging everyone to stay in your house, switching off the light, and don't even move for one hour, just to make sure no road accident will happen, and to decrease metabolism rate. No street lights, might equals to more road accidents, which means more energy of various parties consumed, which eventually lead to the imbalance situation.

If you want to describe your supportness to this event by explaining how your opinion of a relationship is, at least make sure your opinion, your moral view, won't mislead other people. What do you mean by "this event it's like having a relationship, when you say I love you once a while, it's precious, when you say it everyday, it's redundancy."? This event is to bring the "once a while" to the forever knowledge and awareness of people. Its purpose is to form the "redundancy" you mentioned. What I wanna say? You quickly gonna be bored of your relationship. The nicest thing about a relationship, is that you do the same thing all the time, and both parties never get bored. That's the flare. What you said, doesn't sounds like a need of relationship, it's a desperation of a good fuck. Get one for your 1 hour-worthwhile time of Earth Hour, switch off all the lights, electricity, and get a sweaty nasty one. I state this according to your view of relationship. It's not a need, it's a desperation. XD

For those who still joining, and then saying something like "Aiya, still a fail...Having concert, performances, before the show... How to save the earth?"
I agree a lil bit, and object a lil bit. It's just like product promoting, it's geting harder and harder to convinve people to buy your product, or join your event if you don't have a good package. By telling people switching off light for 1 hour you think all people will collaborate? Here is not Sydney you got to know this, we freaking Malaysians just harder to give a damn. A party, an event, series of performance, attended by all people, isn't it save a lot of energy than every single individual attending different events and activities? You tell me your package gonna be something like 7pm we sell eco friendly product, giving out candles, and having an environmental lectures, then 8.30pm, off lights, all the celebrities telling why you should switch off the light, how you save the earth by doing this(some celebrities are dumb, talk crap), 9.30pm, yay, on light go home. You think people gonna buy this package? Hello? You need a knock on your head!
You must have a cheese or food on the mouse trap to catch a mouse! At the same time, letting people having fun, at the same time educate them, isn't that more effective?
Although in the end, rubbish still easily seen everywhere, some action must be taken still. Both parties are still learning, no matter they are organisers or supporters.

That's all I wanna say for now. Related photos, tomorrow.

I got my new pillow!!! WEEEEE!!

2009-03-22T00:52:00.002+08:00

Thesedays if I never get a good quality sleep, I will be very moody and stressed.

I found out that my pillow no longer able to provide me better sleep....

So, I bought an pillow just now!!
I wish it will be good!
I quite love the mid-range hardness of it XD

Compare to Mazda 6, I'm fast!!

2009-03-21T23:29:00.003+08:00

Without having sleep, with a having-flu-body, finally submitted Working drawing elevations on Thursday.

I wasn't satisfied at all, because the quality was bad.
Midnight, I woke up, decided to resubmit, and slept back.
Friday morning, I aimed to submit the drawings at 5, and I really thanks God, I able to do it, after all.

It was happy enough when I done editing the drawings and labels, my watch showed me 3.30pm.
Things changed when I tried to print on an A4 paper. The colors gone wrong in greyscale! What else? I have to highlight line by line, or cluster of lines by cluster of colors, to switch the colors!

2 minutes after I editing, Li Qun calling from college, asking whether I want to go IKEA or not, to discuss about studio work, because they (Li Qun, Wai Sie, Gordon and some people) never submit their working drawing at all on Thursday, and they were going to print.

I thought lady of luck was with me, I'm almost done, just editing colors, and I had no money with me, and I have to walk out to the printing store at Mentari Business Park.
Looked like all problems solved, until they tell me they want to reach IKEA at 4pm.
I never want to go IKEA, but yea, I wanted to go and print, since they have cars!
After awhile, Wai Sie was calling, and kind of confimr they want to reach IKEA at 4, and asking whether take long or not, because colours and line weight editing takes quite some time...

Looked at my watched stating 3.45pm... I don't think I gonna make it in 5 minutes. I thanks for their invitation, and told them no need to wait for me.
After 5 seconds, Li Qun called and asked me am I done. I was stunned. They never sounded like in a same channel. I repeat the same thing, and said, nvm, I go myself.

4.10pm
HOORAY! I've done! Looked at my watch, submit before 5pm it was still not impossible.
I rushed to college ATM, withdraw money, and rush to printing shop.
Right infront of the very 1st turn from the printing shop, I saw Wai Sie's family car- Mazda 6, broomed away from me.

"Aren't they supposed to be at IKEA already? Ah well, printing and submission more important."

Watch showed 4.30pm...

Within a shortwhile, printed, paid, and rushing back to college. Again, right at the corner of college, the exit route of college car park, I saw the same Mazda 6 again. I looked at my watch, 4.45pm.

"Huh? They are still here? That's....Uh...Well, submission submission! Go, Darren!"

After I slipped the drawings into lecturer's office, I look at the watch, it was 4.48pm.

From the point I saw the Mazda 6 till I submitted my drawings, its speed just faster than me for few minutes.

Why do I trust them so much they gonna reach IKEA at 4pm even though I know them so well most of the time submitting late and turn out late in appointment?

Amazing wasn't it? I'm quite fast, compare with a Mazda 6.

This is my draft! I like it, cannot ah??!!

2009-03-11T23:31:00.004+08:00

Ok...First try on Italian Futurism, and it tells what pissed me off today.
Enjoy.

I hate her so much....Please God, don't let this happens again!

2009-03-03T22:25:00.003+08:00

Today is sux.

Because I didn't sleep well.

Imagine you are an architecture student, and rarely, you can go to bed on 1.30am, and wake up at 8am... So that you are fully charge for studio work the next day.

Luxurious? Counted as.

Now, add some characters into your story. You have a roommate. And his girl friend is on holiday, and come here and staying over, just to accompany the boy friend. Lovely.

You think you might even get some wild show in the middle of the night and the catchy brushing noise between the springs in bed, fabrics and skins? Heck no!

I wonder how a person can be such inconsiderate! Well, I need a good sleep! What the heck I was like automatically woke up at 5am, with my half-charged body, surrounding was so bright, the music from the speakers were so damn loud; reaching my hand to my cell phone, it was only 5am, I spent another 15 minutes to back to my sleep!

I so feel like screaming! What have I done? When I'm doing work till early in the morning, I will switch off the light and just turning on table lamp for myself, why can't she just use the bloody expensive headphone her boyfriend just purchased? Why can't she switched off the light since she is not doing serious tasks as well?

I seriously filled with hatred when I rang up by my alarm during the time I should wake up, because I didn't sleep well! The whole morning, my eyes can't follow my head like retarded, made me feel dizzy! It failed to follow the turning of my head!
The whole time after noon, I feel headache!

If it was some groaning, banging and shaking sound from making love, I believe I won't get disturbed. It just damn inconsiderate to play high treble high bass rock songs in the middle of the night, with light on!

Dammit really I hope don't happen tonight, I don't know where is my limit and I won't know what I will do if the limit reached.

Stucked in jam

2009-03-02T21:37:00.003+08:00

Just now was such a coincidence, after claiming back my cell phone from Nokia Service Centre, bump into Clement, Aaron L, Harn, Jess, and Jiuann.

We had our diner together, and Clement supposed to leave first. But then, he came back to us due to.......

Jiuann: I thought you went home already? How come still here?
Clement: No la... My dad was stucked in jam badly...
Darren: Jam? Too bad... If stucked in butter, then will slightly smoother and faster.
Aaron L: (can't breath)
Harn: ....ha....ha...ha...
Darren: Taste like strawberry?

Lost balance

2009-02-28T08:10:00.001+08:00

Sleep well, rest well, and take up my camera, join the newbies of college, having fun in central market, were what I planned yesterday.

I didn't sleep well, I didn't rest well. I have some personal issue to deal with, and time won't stop, life goes on.

Nothing much to shout about, just wanna leave my stress and prob here for a moment, will face it and handle it when I back, hoping there will be a bag of luck and bless awaits beside the negative pack then.

Central market here I come~

Sweet escape

2009-02-28T08:00:00.000+08:00

It had been long time, a gang of friends, escape from real life, and have some fun.

Original schedule was going to MPO, then go back to college's orientation night to take photos of Daphne's band performing.

I got to say, we are too stressed, and the chill atmosphere at KLCC was too tempting to us, we started to have plan like watching movie, having dessert and trying out clothes.

Except watching movie, we done the other 2.
Support Daphne at college? Bah, we screwed the serious thing.

The fun thing's price: Around 30bucks for lunch and desert+some reputation points

**At the same time, these photos are dedicated to someone that wants dessert so much, especially green tea type.

The delicious photos I will leave it to you guys.
=)

MOF

MOF

What? Yes! Our expression tells you it is delicious!

Satisfied

Blog layout shit

2009-02-27T01:45:00.004+08:00

It's like a sign, telling me to change my blog layout.

I guess, it's time, but it's not the correct timing, which I have to say yes!

Ok, all night long, all night strong, I feel nothing even though I have not been sleeping for more than 30 hours, again, and again, and will be repeating itself.

I know later I gonna sleep like a pig, till tomorrow people calling me wake up to MPO.

This is a prophecy.

Blog layout? I really have to stick with this default one first, and slowly, bit by bit, editing it.
Screw it.

Argh....

2009-02-25T20:14:00.000+08:00

Don't be surprise please..

I will repair my blog this weekend...
I try to...

Hate this happens during busy season.

I miss those fun time as well

2009-02-24T23:59:00.000+08:00

"ARghhh!! You know what? I so miss to work with you guys!!!"

This is the nicest thing I heard from someone this morning, and I was thinking the same.

Facade

2009-02-22T08:30:00.000+08:00

Spending days doing Ipoh site model in the bloody studio, one word keep haunting me, and keep making me laugh out loud, which makes me looked like an idiot from nowhere, suddenly laugh while doing my work.

What's the word?

It's.....

FACADE!

This archi-speak had been commonly used, already introduced to us, since the very 1st day in architecture course.
Due to the urban context, this word seems to be used quite often these days, and few days ago, someone mispronounced it during architecture history 2 presentation, which sounded so dumb and funny.

First, the pronunciation is fuh-sahd ,it means the front of the building.
It's not fuh-kaht,
It's not fuh-kah-deh either.

But I can't believe someone pronounce it fuh-kate! Which sounds like fXck-it to me!
Then, the sentence during the presentation came out.

"This is the fXck-it of the building..."
"The fXck-it highly decorated...."
"The fXck-it style is...."

I LOL

and what a good Fuh-Kate

Standard Spoilers

2009-02-19T20:38:00.003+08:00

Currently staying back at studio doing our Ipoh site model.
There are 10 zones of it, and every group handling per zone.
By Next Tuesday, we got to present the site model as one big piece of it, and every zone has to present an A0 size panel of zone analysis as well.

One thing to mention is that, the site model, marked in the way that if the lecturer grades it A, means all people get an A for this assignment. Which means, one small zone/group fails, all fail.

While the A0 panel is marked individually.

Due to different zones has different sizes and condition, some groups are facing difficulties to finish the site model, at the same time have to pay attention on the panel as well.

But there are some groups, which so lucky, their zone is small, the building type is not very diverse, actually I dare to say, can done by now, or later tonight.

They can be lucky and just go away to focus their panel. I think they choose to tag themselves the name of standard spoiler. Instead of just quickly finish it and do the panel, they add details that is far more than enough to tell the building style and type. I mean, yes, not essential.

If they really so want to do, why don't they just finish it and help the groups around? Some of the groups are really panic as they have huge zone to cover.

At the end, I don't see the point of the details doing. Well, may be some

"Oh who's zone is that? That looks neat and detailed. Well done."
" Hey the buildings of that zone are pretty well done!"

and praises and praises and more praises.

So? Overall ,if there are some groups really can't able to finish it, and just simply, roughly hentam, and the general grade is a C, what will the standard spoilers will get? C as well.

Because of the extra effort and details they are adding in, and due to their zone size which leads to quicker pace of working, it became a new standard for the similar buildings of other groups.

Seriously, this is slightly off of a proper working method for this site model thing.

One of my very good friends - Ng Wai Sie

2009-02-17T18:04:00.003+08:00

Hi, this is my friend, Ng Wai Sie.
She's same as me, also born on the 3rd of April.
She is one of the very good friend I have in college.

This is not mean, you got to know that, if you are just a Hi-Bye friend of mine, or you are just a Dick, Tom or Harry of the roadside, I won't even bother to have this thought.

Only good friends deserved this level of play.
I'm so glad that Wai Sie appreciates and likes this.

**I'm not the photo editor. The photo editor didn't look to be happy about this.**

Indians in M'sia are rox!!

2009-02-04T23:25:00.004+08:00

This morning Mr. Tony was dragging us around the world, as usual, during the Architecture History class.

One thing interesting he was mentioning about was Spanish language, and he touched the topic of the most spoken languages in the world.

It was like what he said after I googled it. Mandarin is the most spoken language in the world, English ranked at the 2nd, and Hindustani ranked at 3rd.

The 10 Most spoken Languages In the World

It reminded me of what Russel Peters said in Red, White, Brown.
"Indians are the cheapest race in the world. We are proud of our cheapness!"

I was amazed, and imagined the Indians in Malaysia are so lucky! What if they send their kids to Mandarin school?
They get to learn Mandarin, due to it's Mandarin school; they get to learn English, because it's International language; as well they are mastering Hindustani due to it's their mother tongue!
And do not forget, they must learn Bahasa Melayu, which ranked at the 9th most spoken language!

The cheap Indians (Russell Peters (2008), Red White Brown) have the chance of getting a free FULL PACKAGE KEY SET to own the world!

Gosh! My dead Indian friends, I know some of you are smiling already, because you were in the same high school as me, and speak English, Malay and Mandarin with me.
At the same time, some of you, don't be sad, if you are in Malaysia, you still have chance to learn Mandarin XD

Shot of The Day, Thought of The Day

2009-01-31T12:08:00.004+08:00

Like scaffolding, no matter how complex it can be, how dark is the surrounding, there are narrow path beneath, with torches as guide, to enlighten the way to the solution.

Things like this, are always easy to say than done. In life, we seek answers and solutions to overcome out questions and difficulties.

Sometimes, we know the way but without the light, we are helpless.

Sometimes, we appreciate the lights around our life as guide, but what if we reach a junction, both with lights. Which light lead to the solution?

Sometimes, our arrogance blind us away from light and path. Or...From the very ground, we have to lit up every single light ,and analyse every possibilities ourselves.

Sometimes we do not have enough faith and choose to view the situation as the third party. By the time we know the way, we have the answer, the only entrance closed. It's too late, and every comments and says that made, are too weak to justify every single thing.

And, all the time, we forgotten there's a Father God, who listens to our prayer.
No matter which situation we are facing,

He rescues
"O Lord my God, in you I put my trust; save me from all those who prosecute me; and deliver me," Psalm 7:1

He is the strength
"I will love you, O Lord, my strength. The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my deliver; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold. I will call upon the Lord, who is worthy to be praised; so shall I be saved from my enemies." Psalm 18:1-3

He is close to the brokenhearted
"The Lord is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves such as have a contrite spirit." Psalm 34:18

He has plan for us
"For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, say the Lord, thought of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope." Jeremiah 29:11

He won't separate his love from us
"Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? As it is written: 'For you sake we are killed all day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.' Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us." Romans 8:35-37

He works all things together
"And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to the will of God." Romans 8:28

He hears our cry
"I love the Lord, because He has heard my voice and my supplications. Because he has inclined His ear to me, therefore I will call upon Him as long as I live." Psalm 116:1-2

Faith gives us peace
"Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." Hebrews 11:1

He has compassionate and has removed our sin
"For as the heavens are high above the earth, so great is His mercy toward those who fear Him; as far as the east is from the west, so far has He removed our transgressions from us.As a father pities his children, so the Lord pities those who fear Him. For He knows our frame; He remembers that we are dust." Psalm 103:11-14

We don't have to worry
"Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus." Philippians4:6-7

Wordy Betong, and Happy Chinese New Year!

So fortunate, I get to join the 2 days 1 night families to Betong, Thailand. One thing funny was, none of the 3 or 4 families, are my family. I'm the alien from no where. XD
It's complicated, and I don't want to touch the topic. Yes, it's complicated. When you got to deal with all of them, especially, some of them, are so freaking important to me. I'm grateful, it had came to pass, and everything's great.

Don't "wow" in your mind. Betong is just right on top of Alor Setar, and it's very very very near the border.

Since it's a family trip, most of the adults' common idea is to relax, and chill, and live one or two of the slow pace day. We went to the so called I try to translate, which is Peace Village, we stayed there for one night, and listen to the stories about the place. The next day, which was this morning, we went to the so called I try to translate again, Friendship Village.

The common thing bout these villages are, they were the hideout of the communists last time. it's so deep inside the location, with full of mountains surround them. Peace Village as its name, had been developped into a small village, with chalets, and tiny museum, fully equipped with burnt weapons, self made weapons, photos, articles, history, etc. It's really peaceful, it's really one of the top favourite for the retired people. You will be so disconnected from the world.

In another hand, Friendship village is too comercialised.

Is that all?
Yea, it is.
What?
It's a families trip. What are you expecting? 4 cars, 21 people, one waiting for another. every meal, average of 25 mins dehydrated. Got to take care of the too young, got to take care of the too old, got to take care of the rushing, got to take care of the tired. Too much.
So....Photos?
No. I will show you 2 only.
Heck?
Yes. I was so clueless what to take. 2 days, surrounded by the trees and river, climbing on the reddish soil, stepping the old tracks of the mountain rat(communists I mean). It's a very close to nature trip. I have been taking these kind of photos in my course since sem 1 till now. So....yea...nothing much to take.

Generally, the situation of Betong is like the Malaysia 20-30 years ago. They shophouses, still functioning! I mean, they do trades there, they live there! All of them, doing the same! Architecture style? Malay house+Chinese shophouse concept

I found that the police there have nice bikes! I'm not sure what brand it is, but the colour, the size, it looks cool! Not like ours, so damn bulky.

It tells me, long time I never been to market. It's very long. But, take a careful look at the market, see what they sell. It's varietiesssss!

And, the nicest thing of the whole trip:
Honestly, I'm so freaking curious how that tree blooms? It's the only tree that blooms around that area! The weather is so hot! It blooms!

One thing I must mention, really, very important!
Thanks God I'm so blessed, this trip, I only spent not more than 5Bahts! Now I have 1000Bahts can change back to RM again! =D

First of all, freaking happy new year to all the readers. So glad this post is the first post of 2009, which will be nothing much you can expected.
(There's actually another post before this post, waiting for the photos of Orientation day,an awesome day)

Architecture history 2, is the only subject for today. Sadly, the lecturer, happily FFK. And, there will be no class on Monday and Wednesday, until end of CNY.

The amazing thing was, the whole class actually sit inside the annexe, just talk and talk and talk, from the beginning of holiday till the end of the holiday, from the monkey till the donkey, and from the aunties till 5 hours later she forgotten she wanted to pee, and etc.

We was so dumb sit there for 1 hour++, believe it gonna be a great start.
It was a dream.

And Aaron C, thanks for telling me about there were 2 new juniors commenting about me+my specs look like a gay.
I know you laugh off your nuts, and the 2 juniors upset coz of having this kind of senior like me.
But, sadly, I laughed with you when I heard that. It was funny, and I don't freaking care. I will try another pair of specs when I have enough money.
Anyway, I'm curious, what they will say if they see me wearing my white specs. =)
