  • Dream... dream... dream

    The world of "DREAMS" has came across my life countless times in just a few days....

    I hardly read books, if i do, it's probably class related materials that I have to read. Oddly enough, i decided to pick up a book from my brother's book self on a quite Saturday and began to flip through the pages. This amazing book written by Bruce Wilkinson, called The Dream Giver.

    That night, after reading this book, i met with several high school biddies. We were catching up, chatting and lots of hilariously great memories were brought up. It was just such a good time that, somehow, the topic "DREAMS" came about. Perhaps life is really nothing if not a pursuit of a dream. That night, a bunch of girls, who's just begun the 2nd decade of their lives were cranking up dreams...

    Yet, deep down in our hearts, who doesn't realize dreams are like clouds in the sky. They are hard to grasp, tough to reach, never willing to settle, and unpredictable.


    Thought I have a clue, i need the lead. I need the light to lead me through the dark into the clouds.
    It's time to get ready for my dream, and i hope it's not too late.

    Some bullies you need to simply dismiss or avoid. But most Boarder Bullies have concerns that can help you clarify your plans. That's how a Dreamer turns opposition into opportunity.”

    Bruce Wilkinson - The Dream Giver. CH. 3 Page 30.

  • The weather suck today, i was nearly blown away by the chilling strong wind...
    but...wait...

    TREMENDOUS!
    it is totally a drama of the nature!



    Day by day, time is passing so fast.. yet slow at the same time
    as Spring approaches, co-op is also fading away..
    can' believe i'm missing school, missing the crazy studio time and the busy unbalanced life.


    Thought earning on a job feels good, the repetitive, unchallenging little jobs are killing my brain cells...
    they said "every little bits helps" ...but when will i be able tackle the real world?
    Not necessary this term, but generally in life.

    I want to feel the drama of my life.
    Has it been round and about?

  • Berlin’s Magma Architecture won several awards for its entry in the JETZT | NOW series of temporary installations at the Berlinische Galerie, Museum for Contemporary Art, Photography and Architecture. Magma’s installation, 11th in the series, was called fittingly “head-in | im kopf” and its concept is based on exploring the properties of materials, form, color and light.
     
    The main feature of the installation is an alarmingly orange flexible fabric (polyamide-elastan mix) stretched between the walls, ceiling and floor. The fabric is the most visible part of the exhibit, yet it is also the tool with which the viewers can focus on smaller details.

    it is truly an amusing piece. I'd love to stick my head into this giant orange form of art, partake in the coolness of Magma architecuture in detail.

  • it's an amazing morning. As i was walking down the park besides the lake. I saw the abandoned Green House.
     

    I was so tempted to break in, so I tried to turn the door nob.
    O man... it's locked.

  • Happy New Year.
    and wish myself an orange year !

    2009 started off with nothing.
    no class. no studio. no architecture. NO SCHOOL and NO JOB !
    i wonder why?

    my prolonged holiday is not bringing me too much joy,
    and yet a ton of worries and sighs..


    where does dream lie?
    in bed or in life?
    i don't like the ones in bed, because they lie!
    i want those in  life...
    because they make me alive !




    God will provide! yes i know .... i know ...
    I probably have insufficient faith at this moment
    coz i have yet to see the way..

    come on be strong !

  • Studio is officially DONE !

    all those stress and rush has gone far....
    my design might have sucked ?
    my drawings might have been too ambitious/ impractical ?
    it doesn't matter anymore.

    IT IS DONE !


    .. critics were bit harsh on the structural aspect..
    psh .. that's why engineers exist

    some said i did well ....
    "Good job!" .... i remember hearing that ..

    heh .. thanks .. but it doesn't matter anymore..
    doing well in school means NOTHING.

    coz...
    I  NEED A JOB !!

    can you architects not afford to hire one more cheap "intern labor"?
    .. i don't care much about what i do and where i work. ....
    plz ... let me in and be ur "CAD monkey", perhaps?


    YES.

    that's how desperate i am.


    recession sucks .....

    no $. no buildings. no employment.
    no life for these poor architecture students.

  • the sun abandoned me today... so i silently submerge myself in my own room.
    a space of walls and a window; of dimmed lights and shadows casting on my face.

    hear the rain?
    noises of water colliding with constructed ground plane.
    stop torturing me, why is it so quiet?

    who cares ?
    true, nobody cares where i am. Perhaps, I don't worth their time to even think about.
    yea .. i understand. We are all busy.

    don't you have friends, yo?
    yes, i do.
    well ..... maybe i don't?
    i'm drowning ........in the rain, in my room, in stress......

    God prove me right ..
    and "punished" me by the cold and sweaty night ....

    hehe ... the Load has a great sense of humor ..
    God made my day interesting .......
