Great assignment, great experience.   Stay tuned for more :)

To sum things up.

Can't believe that today's the last day of holiday! Sobs...

 This holiday wasn't well spent, I gota say. Yes, a tiiiiiiiiny bit of regret indeed, I felt. But, oh well, at least I finally baked, after promising my family for sooooo long~ :B I made cranberry muffins, vanilla almond cupcakes, vanilla jam cupcakes, chocolate chip cupcakes and vanilla raisins cupcakes. Not bad for first baking attempt waddd~ x)

Also, I was diagnosed with first stage drama addiction. The condition got worst whenever a series finished. That's cz while following a series, those characters took up so much of your time that it felt as if they're already part of your life~ So when it ended, the emptiness felt will make you feel lost and very uneasy. To overcome this mind-torturing emptiness, your mind will tell you to start a new series. And this is how the addiction goes on, making you crave for more and more until one day, you find yourself never satisfied. YES PEOPLE, THIS IS HOW DANGEROUS THIS ADDICTION IS. DRAMA = DRUG. PLEASE TAKE NOTE.

After city hunter ended (quite lousily, honestly speaking ><), I felt really soul-less, and the hunger for more came attacking again. That night, it was 2am already, way past bedtime. But I was struggling so hard over the emptiness, I decided to watch another series, and I chose Kdrama <Personal Taste> where the main actor is the oh-so-hot Lee Min Ho. His charm boosted up way over maximum hotness when I found out that his character is an architect in this series. Giahhhhhhh~~ I wish to meet an architect as hot as him in the future *v* So all anticipated, I felt happy again (drama thirst fulfilled). Howeverrrrr, THANK GOD the female lead was soooooooooo awful (sorry, no offense). She was so not up to Lee Min Ho standard that she literally made me loose interest in this drama right after ep1. And the whole plot is just too predictable, no fun. So after ep1, that's it, not gona watch ep2.

Surprisingly, this was the cure for my addiction! So I came to a conclusion that my mind works this way : Whenever drama thirst strikes, I'll start a new series. If the series suck, my mind will not only reject that series, but will also loose enthusiasm towards drama. I will then feel very tired and will give up on finding another drama worth following. Thus, TADA, no more drama thirst, addiction cured~ :D

I was so emo after city hunter ended so I went and straighten my hair. Happy again :)

What I've just mentioned above might sound like exaggerated bull crap, but it's really what I went through. So do take it as a friendly reminder :) 偶像剧让你分不清现实与虚拟。This was my friend's advise. When I snapped out and regained my "consciousness", this really made sense.

Brutal

 Sorry for the recent MIA, this post should have been done weeks ago but I've been 24hr drama-ing all this while, my apologies. But I got to say, City Hunter is a must watch guys! *super serious face and tone* 

Hot no? xD

Back to the topic. So, BRUTAL, was the concept for my final project, where we're assigned to design a grafted personal space for a specific client at a chosen site along the very riuh-rendah Jln Petaling. (Do excuse my sudden BM usage~ My BM nerve just got stimulated for a sec back then~ heh) So after 2 days of life-risking-touring around Jln Petaling (acid splasher remember? ><) I've chosen this corner to be used as my site for my client, Mr Arnold Schwarzenegger.

big blue wall

Starring at site hardly trying to get design inspirations.

At one glance, it doesn't seem like an interesting site huh? But this is what I liked about it. The dull and boring atmosphere here, the tall and plain wall. After starring at it for, I cant remember how long, I knew that I wanted to grow something out of that wall. Yes, grow. I wanted my design to seem like a space that grew out from that wall, not just a space that is designed without having any relation to the site. So off I went to do more research, brainstorming, mind mapping and of course, sketching.

So TADA, the final product :)

Presentation :)

 

By BRUTAL I didn't mean violence, bloody scenes or whatsoever. I meant cold, rough, which actually reflects the first impression people have towards the site and of course my client. I portrayed it in design elements such as:
- cold inhuman exterior
- simple arrangements of planes to create openings
- openings which manipulates the light and shadow to create different atmosphere in different spaces
- usage of materials in their very raw state to enhance the roughness of the design.


Here up some shots of the light and shadow in the interior x)

My presentation panels~ Note that all orthographic drawings are hand drawn~ x)

Yea BASICALLY that's about it~ I did my best summarizing it alreadyyyy~ Sorry >< Hope u guys enjoyed it still~ Till the next post~ ;) Remember to watch city hunter k? :D

Hold your breath, be prepared.

Watch this video,  think about what have you done in life and rethink again, whether you've lived it to the max. Get inspired.

Woopsy~ Did I remind you guys to hold tight on your jaws to prevent it from dropping? xD

H to the O to the L-I-D-A-Y

Sem 1 officially ended after the external crit on monday~ and I can finally say that I'M ON HOLIDAYYYYYY~~weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee~ cheers*

7 hrs of karaoke, what a night!

So to conclude this sem, I would say that it was a pretty fun one, with a lil bit of ups and downs of course, which is actually what a normal life should have . Results are not out yet but well, I guess I've tried my best, and now I'm just hoping that all my effort will be well paid off~ pray hard* fingers crossed*

As for holiday plans, hrmmm... for the mean time I still feel like resting, haha~ But after this week I'll definitely make myself work again. I'll definitely do some baking, cz I'd promised my sis, I'll improvise my self-invented milo berry and perhaps come out with more LLW secret recipes *hopefully safe and eatable ones muahaha*, and I'll certainly work out cz I'm wayyyyyyyy out of shape and not to mention physically super duper unfit~ Gota get rid of those annoying extra fats~ >< Yea so basically these are the few things on my current To-do-list. Hopefully hopefully hopefully I don't slack and screw up these plans xD

Current mood - Lazy  :/

Before I end this post, I would like to share a lil smth with the world. It's this young newly discovered local artist who has quite a unique voice. The thing that inspired me most to the extend that it made me attend her mini concert all the way in Kepong, is the honesty she delivers in her performance. Her performance felt true and believable. Some artist may have such good voices with outstanding techniques but it simply does not reach out to grab your heart and emotion. They say, a good performance is when it touches your heart, and her's definitely touched mine. Not only she's good in sentimental, when it comes to a more lively and active performance, she just shines on stage and there will be this positive energy that keeps the audience moving and grooving along, very enjoyable atmosphere. Getting to watch her perform live was such an experience. No doubt that it was one of the great nights of my life :)

Ladies and gentlemen, presenting to you, KY Tha. Enjoy, till the next post~ ;)

Lil more to go~

F-R-E-E-D-O-MMMMmmmm........................ NOT! Few more days left hang in there!!


Just finished exams and fuhh what a relief~! Burning the midnight oil doing last minute studies felt like SPM all over again and geee I kinda miss those days~ haha... Those sleepless night, those terms, those facts, and not to mention those midnight snacks just to keep me awake~! *Kepercayaan kepada Tuhan, keyakinan wujudnya Tuhan sebagai pencipta alam dan mematuhi segala suruhan-Nya berlandaskan pegangan agama masing-masing selurus dengan prinsip-prinsip Rukan Negara.* wtf can't belive I can still memorize my moral values! :D But hey, I'm just saying... I seriously wouldn't want to go through that again. xD Anyway, cheers for completing exam! :B


Till the next post readers! Will update about my final project soon~ Cz for now, it's slumber time~~ Nitez and I'm off to hyberworld~ ;)

Short slack and it's back to work again.

Final Project Period. Some are stressed out, some are depressed, some broke down, many didn't sleep. Yeap, this is what architecture does to people. Howeverrrr, I'm somehow rather enjoying the busy-ness~ Call me crazy but it's true~ x)

Some calls me a workaholic. I take it as compliment! :D *I love my Rotring, random but yea*

When it comes to model making, the floor is my table. This is when my room turns into a chaotic trash field, which means more cleaning up awaits me...hell yea life is great. sigh*

No matter how busy or how awful my ahjunma look is, there'll always be camwhoring session with HOMIE (term created by vivianT that refers to housemate XD)

WHENEVER AND WHEREVER, I MEAN IT. The photo shows it all no? xD


AHEM~! credits to the always horny-ly-creative CORN~

Conclusion is, stress, sad, happy, high, crazy, insane, depressed, emo, emotion-less or whatsoever emotion it is, it wouldn't change anything. The deadline will not change no matter how badly you cried or how many sleepless nights you went through or how hard you pray. So why not change all the negative thinking to positive energy and enjoy every single bit of this? Life is short, live it to the max~ My all time favorite quote ;) Good luck and all the best to all my coursemates, NEVER SAY NEVER~ :)




Ok back to work..........................
