do you prefer digging your... ear or nose?

been busy touching up and re-organising my portfolio. yup, this is it. here i come "real world"... i've still yet gotten the hang of post-uni life. somehow i still feel like theres another semester to go. 5 years of uni is really no joke. preparing to enter into a new chapter of my life is so troublesome. its back to the drawing board figuring out where and what the heck i should do next. every option sounds so tempting yet so worrying. its like picking A and regretting not picking B. hmmm... if deciding between A and B is so complicated... maybe i should pick C. but then, theres D... and E, F, G... etc.

anyway, cherries are back in season. i have not eaten bananas in months. wonder if my parents would be interested in cherry picking. for me, i prefer to just pick them from the market. yummylicious. i should try this new duck confit recipe. but the bad part is that it requires a heap load of olive oil.

tonight on tv... HowIMetYourMother/ MyNameIsEarl/ Bones/ JamieOliverAustralianDiary/ FamilyGuy. seriously i ain't addicted to tv.

glad Grant Hill is back and playing. he's not been playing a full season for almost 3 years. so far he's been starting all 10 games. please don't sprain anything. maybe the orlando magic has a shot for the championships... let alone the playoffs.

And, its almost a month before christmas.

new obsession...

someone has not been flushing the toilet downstairs after shishi. i wonder who could it be? its definitely a guy. i shall do a profile check on the unsub...
the juice was probably excreted through a phallus... as the seat was last seen lifted. (did you know that the word penis originally meant "tail" in latin. however, some say that it originates from the indo-european word pesos... then the spanish decided to name their currency... minusing the S. okay the 3rd part isn't true. or is it?!)

since australia has not yet begun screening season 3 of HOUSE (although i am getting a bit tired of the fella for now). i have discovered a new show... CRIMINAL MINDS! i just love profilers... don't you? this reminds me of my research paper on Criminology back in college. i think criminals are an interesting subject. but this doesnt mean that i'm actually brave enough to look at one in the eye. i know squat about them besides the fact that majority of killers have cave man features. another show that i wouldnt mind watching would be THE UNIT. love the action part hate the family housewife etc parts. we don't want to know life away from the killing fields. we wanna see bangbang... kaboom action!

i've begun to respect supermodels ever since i found out that the geek a.k.a Dr. Spencer Reid a.k.a MatthewGrayGubler(weird surname) in Criminal minds was formerly one. i've always thought that models were just 2 dimensional humans with exaggerated features. he's also a sketch artist and directed short films. he even has a webpage. interesting. although i suspect that his geeky character in the show is actually pretty similar to who he is in person. borderline paranoid schizophrenic. i always wanted to be a supermodel sometimes... so i could take home the nice looking clothes. sigh...

Little Miss Sunshine is a must see. funny sad funny.

oh ya. one paper down... one more to go!

now that design is over my life feels so empty... not!

che... chec... check it out!! Gradex2006. and remember to click on the RF link situated at the bottom under 'Studio Quick Links'. yea man...

dooms day is next week...

Zakaria... sigh... double sigh...

Turn Zakaria’s mansion into public library

EVER since Datuk Zakaria Md Deros' controversial “Istana Idaman” in Klang was highlighted in the media, there have been many calls by the people to demolish the mansion which reportedly costs over RM8mil.

By law, any structure that is illegally built has to be demolished. Many small temples on government land and squatter homes have been levelled to the ground for the same reason.

Both the Prime Minister and Selangor Mentri Besar have said that no one is above the law. Thus, it is obvious that the mansion has to be demolished.

But, as a Klang resident, I do not agree. It is a complete waste of money and resources to demolish the mansion.

It serves no real purpose to tear down the beautiful building.

Many visitors to Klang have complained that this royal town of the only developed state in Malaysia is dirty and dusty with uneven and dark roads, noisy and ugly crows, and poorly maintained public facilities.

One example is the Klang public library in Jalan Tengku Kelana. It is very small and the reading materials are pathetically outdated.

The library is supposed to serve more than 500,000 Klang residents, but how many people actually go there?

I suggest that the government turn Zakaria's mansion into a new public library complex.

And I am sure Zakaria, who is known for his contributions to charity, will not mind.



i don't quite agree on the mansions aesthetics. although, the proposal for a library isn't half bad.

enveloped in... dark skies

pretty bum-out on the model making. still trying to figure out how to actually built the gallery in a non-messy way. tough it is. i guess the columns are really structurally important... even in the model. but im trying to avoid putting the columns (oh i sound so much like an architect). when i say putting columns, i meant poking sticks all the way through the slabs. this might cause messiness and waste of materials due to trial and errors. dang! but another problem might occur if i do the other option which is putting columns individually at every floor... thats troublesome. plus. it has to be real accurate and aligned in a perfect linear fashion.
should i drape the whole contour now? or after placing all the mullions? dang!

anyway. other things to worry about aside from submission on the 9th. umm... Archi Prac on the 13th november, and PBL on the 16th. not forgetting the HWIDC... thats if i'm still motivated to do it then. haha. dang! jobs jobs jobs... decisions decisions decisions... chill chill chill... dang!

har... har... har??
