Just Shut Up

First of all, stop saying you want sex. Second of all, you are not my ex. Third of all, GET A LIFE!!!

Rialto Tower

Yarra River and the tall building is the Skydeck. Pretty awesome architecture.

Sight of the Rod Laver Arena

This is the Docklands. The night view is spectacular.

Try to notice the park in the middle there with a lake? That's Albert Park. They have the Grand Prix Formula One there.

These are some pics taken from the Rialto tower in Melbourne. I went with my mother back in September and it was nothing extraordinary. It reminds me of the Komtar tower in Penang. So just embrace the pictures....to the wonderful sight of Melbourne.

APSDA

This is really outdated. This was a student workshop i attended at the end of last year with a few of my uni-mates and classmates. This is an international workshop for interior design students. There are students coming from Korea, Indonesia, Philippines, all the other colleges and universities in Malaysia. I don't quite remember what APSDA stands for but it was organized by the University Islam Antarabangsa students. It was quite an experience as we have great designers coming from Holland and other countries to conduct the workshop.

I bet you cant find me...

We are all from Lim Kok Wing and each college is suppose to come out with a performance on the final night. We did some really erm...abstract kinda thingy and i reckon nobody actually understood what we did. FYI, i am the second person.

My group during ice-breaking

The watermelon and oranges are part of the games...

This is actually quite interesting. One of the facilitator actually designed this. It is just a special custom made paper bad and the idea is to put some sand inside, light a candle and drop it on the sand. Then placing them in a spiral and this is the outcome. Of course you have to see it from the top then it looks rather beautiful indeed. If i am not wrong, this paper will not burn.

These pictures are all taken by Jia Ning and i only got them like a month ago. This is a winter camp organized by the Multicultural Student Fellowship. It was held end of August near Mount Buller.


OK....my group won the so called "Hollywood race" in this winter camp. It is something like Amazing Race. Don't ask me how we won but we just did.

This is quite a masterpiece and taken by Jia Ning also....

This is Alex from Malaysia as well. Don't quite rmbr which part but i reckon it's Sungai Petani. Lucky guy, huh? One girl on each arm...

This is Nat but she wants us to call her Nut. No idea why but she's really cute. When i first introduce myself as Soo Yee, she thought i was Korean. Hahahaha....Do i look like one?

Us

Jia Jia and I

I have no idea what i was laughing at but Jia Ning just enjoys taking funny pics of me...

Jia Ning and I

Albert and I....this guy is always teasing me and he just looks like a little boy doesn't he??

Okay...this video is taken by Jia Ning and my group were suppose to present our group's theme. The theme of the whole camp is "We are Loved, We are Capable." This camp is supposed to be a winter camp but they do preach about Christianity. Nevertheless, it was fun and all that were taught in this camp are all good. Met a lot of new people of course. My group's name is Stitch, by the way. Given by the committee. Ben said that my voice is the loudest in this video but well, i was the one who came up with the cheer so i know it better than the rest of the group members and i have to admit i was a little bit too hyper then. Hahaha....Did Jia Ning take this pic to have a good laugh at me??? Hmmm.....=)

Back in time...

Okay...I am going to upload some pics that i should have like LONG LONG ago...

So...ONCE UPON A TIME.....

Ben bought me this sheep. And of course knowing me, i named it Baby Meh. Hahaha...
Cute, eh?

I am sure Yu Myn is going to love my sheep when i return to KL. Hmmm....

December again...

It is end of the year yet again. I can't believe that I am actually graduating in a few weeks time. I am suppose to be jumping with joy that it is finally over but i am not. The thought of working is frightening. The idea of being an adult itself is scary. Commitments, responsibilities, politics, bla bla bla....

My results are coming out this Saturday and i really hope this time around i am going to ace them. This semester has been quite a big leap for me indeed. But the next question is where do i go from here.

I am trying to keep my options open. I want to go where the wind blows. The world is an adventure. I don't know if this is crazy but i don't want to just settle down in Malaysia. Not that i hate my country that much but i just want to explore. I want to be out there. Is it possible?

Here i am wondering about my future, about my career, about the next step. And instead of facing it, i reckon i am trying to run away from it. There is this book my friend, Ming recommended, "Designers are wankers." It is not what you think. I have not finished reading this book but this book is rather interesting. It talks about us the next step for us graduates and students. Where our future lies and where to go or what to do as we step out from the college and uni life.

"Who you are is what you do." Finding your own style and developing it over time may prove to be your greatest asset.

This statement itself is so true. When i first started interior design course, it was just pure passion for interior. But as i indulge myself further into the design world and the design philosophy, there is so much to design. Design is everywhere, in our everyday life. Everything we see, we use, we do is design. So are designers really wankers?

Anyhow, i know it has been some time since i update my blog and i owe everyone some pictures. Hang in here...

Back on track???

I have like so many freaking models to build and still trying to build more and more to please my lecturer. So far, i have built like 8 models and there are more to build. I have never in my life built so many models in one semester before. And i have to say her expectations are really high. She wants good models even for something as simple as a study or concept model.

Of course i have cut my hand several times and have like plasters stuck here and there but nothing serious.

I still have heaps of work to catch up on but i still trying to get back on track but i reckon if i sleep less and try to focus more it'll all turn out fine. Like what Ben says, only more than a month more to persevere and the outcome will be beautiful and fruitful. There will be fruit flies everywhere then.

There has been some screaming and shouting and tantrums thrown here and there in this household as my hostbrother, Rupert, has decided to switch course yet again after doing Chemical engineering for 4 freaking years. He has one more year to go but he reckons his interest lies in Architecture and not engineering. The mother is freaking out and trying really hard to convince him to finish engineering then he can go running into architecture all he wants but just to complete the bachelor for engineering first. So there has been some Hoo-haa in the house. As usual i m the middle person and i have to listen to everyone's complains.

Oh well, he has to figure it out on his own i guess. I have not much to update this time around as i just got back from a tiring day. I have like lecture early in the morning and have a 6 hour break before my next class and i only got home like at 8pm. So i m not tired physically but mentally. I waited like almost 2 hours for my turn in class today for tutorial. Crazy day...
