Fucked up days

Lesson learnt:
1. Double triple check drawings - Building Line can screw you up big time when you found out that all along you've been working on a bigger plan until the day just before tender.
2. Some things are what money cannot buy - Give me some variety. Right now I need to wait til everything fall into place but I don't wish to be doing uninteresting "in-house design" for banks. My brain need some variety of food - creativity juices are waiting eargerly to be tapped on. Give me what I like to do or what I am suppose to be for. Rendering, Sketches..Basically use my fingers and pencil and just get into that brainstorming mood.

But meantime. She kinda found comfort knowing that someone understands how she feels.

A'Beckett Tower

"A’Beckett TowerThe A’Beckett Tower proposal will provide high quality residential apartment accommodation situated within the academic precinct of Melbourne CBD. The apartments will address the needs of professionals/academics with a desire to live and work in the city; while complimenting the level of eccentric design in this area of the city. The autumnal screen façade addressing A’Beckett street acts primarily as a shading and privacy device to the apartments; however it also maintains a level of articulation which the precinct demands."

Dad bought an apartment in Melbourne, apparently for investments later on, and hopefully her daughter gets a place for school there so that she can get a chance to stay in a almost studio like apartment. And thankfully, they've gotten the unit with window in both rooms, as there are some units without window in the second bedroom. Living without window is depressing cause there's no separation or the slightest indication of day and night.

And upon looking at those pictures of the apartment facade, it suddenly struck her mind - Folding Architecture, and that little folding thing Syafiq did.

Nothing Much

Went swimming today. Oh my. She can't even remember the last time she went. Crowded like a thousand fish swimming and you know how irritating it is to keep swimming sideway to divert your direction.

Just some pictures on ChunYee's last day.

Jason Mraz- Life is Wonderful

Was reading through her old blog and found this song's lyric

It takes a crane to build a crane
It takes two floors to make a storey
It takes an egg to make a henIt takes a hen to make an egg
There is no end to what I'm saying
It takes a thought to make a word
And it takes some words to make an action
And it takes some work to make it work
It takes some good to make it hurt
It takes some bad for satisfaction

Ah la la la la la la life is wonderful
Ah la la la la la la life goes full circle
Ah la la la la life is wonderful
Ah la la la laIt takes a night to make it dawn

And it takes a day to make you yawn brother
And it takes some old to make you young
It takes some cold to know the sun
It takes the one to have the other
And it takes no time to fall in love
But it takes you years to know what love is
And it takes some fears to make you trust
It takes those tears to make it rust
It takes the dust to have it polished

Ah la la la la la la life is wonderful
Ah la la la la la la life goes full circle
Ah la la la la la la life is wonderful
Ah la la la laIt is so...

It takes some silence to make sound
And it takes a loss before you found it
And it takes a road to go nowhere
It takes a toll to make you care
It takes a hole to make a mountain

Ah la la la la la life is wonderful
Ah la la la la la life goes full circle
Ah la la la la la life is wonderful
Ah la la la la la life is meaningful
Ah la la la la la life is wonderful
Ah la la la la la

What happened in Vegas

Just got home from a midnight movie. What happened in Vegas was hilarious and awesome. Love how spontaneous Cameron Diaz and Aston was. Aileen loves movies that are spontaneous, no pretence, no fuss, no big weepy moments movies. Movies that makes you realise something gradually are awesome.

Nice movies coming up. Can't remember the title of one of them..and another is a Sci-fi movie, something like I am Legend.

Well tomorrow's gonna head to the airport for lunch since it might rain tomorrow and Sentosa idea might just fail.

Weekend like this has been non-existance for a long long time.

Goodnight Folks!

Design Torque- Keith Speaks

Topic 1: The Limit of Possibilities
Speaker: Keith Tan

About: Promoting Nexus Creative Group and understanding the services his 3 men company provides. He said 3 men as in "Me,myself and I.-3 person" Same time, about the limit of possibilities in Design.

Keywords: I understood finally what he meant by
1. You can challenge convention, but not defy logic.
2. Creativity = Imagination + Common Sense

Have gotten back that feeling of being a student again. And was fun attending it because it evokes that sense of nolstelgia in her. Keith Tan was still Keith Tan. Was indeed fruitful and nice to have someone to tell you once in awhile you need to slow down and think.

Topic 2: Speak with substance
Speaker: Secret

About:
How unintelligent, nothing-else-better-to-comment-about comment can spoil your day.

Keywords:
1. Don't judge others when others with some not so smart comments when you should be more substantial in your conversation.

My Thought: Look. Nevermind if you don't ask me questions like: "How are you after so long?" And when I'm god damn fine about how I look, please, if you have nothing to comment or ask about me, keep your whatever physical comments about me that you have to yourself. And com'on. I'm so fine you can condemn my everything down to the colour of my fingernail. But life is just more than how every god damn shit in me look like. I'm fine. I'm not even complaining about how I look like. So grow up. Learn to speak with more substance.

Life is more than just physical development of a being. It is also about that development up there in your mind.

If a career of a beauty specialist and fashionista suits you better, switch line. But before that, understand that everyone is different in their own way. People have the type of style that they can carry and you can't. People can choose. So don't super impose something on them that looks nice on you and think that it is the fucking best way one should be following. Accept the fact-Everyone is different.
