(mini)... French Open

Yesterday was my first try on clay courts... it was fun! haha... it was our second away game and we won it! haha... awesome! my team's on a roll now... winning 3 straight matches. but the new court surface experience was... exquisite? sliding from one end of the court to the other... and its the only type of surface that we have to sweep up the court after every game... sweet!
Anyway!
what happens when OCF, Tennis and school work gets tied up all together?! STRESS!! yea... these couple of days had been tangled up with work... ocf... and tennis... it was one heluva tiring ride!
explained: wednesday... worship practice till 10pm... next day i had presentation... so need time to prepare... therefore pulled an all nighter (thank God managed to get some snooze)... after presentation... tennis match... rush back grab my stuff... ran back to Uni... and off we go! results... WON! so celebrated with a bottle of wine... and crackers with smoke salmon and spicy avocado dip... yum yum!!

i'm begining to realise that i sound a wee bit like pretty boy Joseph...

Rainbow... (trout)... Connection

why are there so many songs about fishes
and whats on the other side
fishes are (not) vicious, but only delicious
fishes cant close their eyes
so we've been told, that some choose to eat it
i know they won't regret it, wait and see
someday we'll find it, trout connections
the cookers, the eaters, and me...

who said that every fish would be heard and answered
when wished on the morning star
someone caught of that, and someone grilled it
look whats it done so far
whats so amazing that keeps us star gazing
of all the dishes we can make
someday we'll find it, trout connections
the cookers, the eaters, and me...

all of us under its spell
and we'd probably know that its yummy...

have you been half asleep, and have you heard voices
i've heard them calling my name
is this the sweet sound that calls the young fishermen
i know its one and the same
i've smelled it too many times to ignore it
it's something im supposed to eat
someday we'll find it, trout connections
the cookers, the eaters, and me...

le Corbusier...

just finished my modern B lecture... today... was modern B day. tutorial was okay... the discussion was pretty interesting, yet very boring in a sense of its topics. well, i realised that i have really very different view of le corb. although i do favour in his architecture... but my views of his intentions was rather... less humane. was contemplating a couple of times, whether i should had voice out my oppinions... which were very crude and individualistic. they were all discussing on le corb's design intentions, trying to be concern for the public, yet his solutions was still very naive. mine however, totally contradicts to it. being the fact that he was totally individual in his intentions... basically he just cut and pasted all his favourite ideas and forms into his buildings... having his own identity and style to be known in the world, nothing to do with the context and stakeholders. unlike his earlier works... for the international style... of very duplicatic design styles.
anyway, the lecture was pretty interesting, discussing on the later works/ second half of le corb's and wrights' design ideas. yea... it was a pity though, the lecturer touched very little on one of my all time favourite le corb buildings... the Carpenter Centre for the visual arts, at harvard university. she had very little time to spare with... and it was actually the last slide. sigh... its a building that has been talked about very little in lectures and books. probably of its less significant impact it lied into le corbs design... unlike the Chandigrah, Ronchamp, Villa Savoye... etc.
Yeap.

Le Corbusier 1963
The Carpenter Center is Le Corbusier's only building in North America, and one of the last to be completed during his lifetime. Its wonderful collection of concrete forms bring together many of the design principles and devices from Le Corbusier's earlier works: the ondulatoires (windows above left) from La Tourette; the brises soleils (below) originally from the Marseille unité d'habitation but angled later in Chandigarh (but here with glass for the Massachusetts climate); and the original Five Points from the 1920s 'accentuated in a new way: as if the Villa Savoye had been exploded inside out, with ramp and curved partitions extending into the environment.' The ramp and architectural promenade is particularly strong at the Carpenter Center.
'At the heart is a cubic volume from which curved studios pull away from one another on the diagonal. The whole is cut through by an S-shaped ramp which rises from one street and descends towards the other... The layers and levels swing out and back from the grid of concrete pilotis wihtin, making the most of cantilevering to create interpenetrations of exterior and interior, as well as a sequence of spatial events linked by the promenade architecturale of the ramp.'
William J.R. Curtis in Le Corbusier: Ideas and Forms

double jeopardy...

what do you do when you have a "splinter" in your team? nothing...
more specifically, what if you have a team member that has problems with authority, and wants to take over the team leadership? answer: you give him the responsibilty...
if he eagers to be the boss, and pays no respect to the supposed leader... then give it to him. (in a worldly context, you fire the person, as in get rid of him)
anyway... as you all should know by now, this situation is definitely related to my current scenario... but on the other hand, i might be wrong. however, i usually am not wrong on this... plus he's a typical kiasu singaporean, top school snobbish... smart ass, oh so talented bloody bastard prick! but theres nothing i can do about it... sorry for my rude behavior, but its a blog... i can type and say however i want to express my feelings on.

other events: haha... i won my last tennis match! my team won! i played 2 matches... lost one in a tie break 6-7(6-8), and won one 6-0! what a way to break my losing streak. this weeks match... BRING IT ON!!
the musical went pretty smoothly... the props and stage set was pretty nifty. yea.. proud of the whole team... and their committed contributions. the performance was okay... the singing was the turn off... but overall it was good. a very cliche sort of musical/ drama.
yea... anyway! time to get back to work...

5KGs... and an Ab.

my housemate bought an iPod! that is so so cool... really cool device. man! i want i want!!
anyway... finally managed to upload my construction assignment to the web. we are asked to submit our work into the virtual gallery... so IT savvy eh? i think so too... my CT lecturer really know how to make full use of the web.
yeap... hehe well since i have it now, i might as well upload this picture of my design studio's first assignment... which is a codification done and created by me. wonder if you remembered on my previous blog entry where i told about my assigment and the codification that i whipped up with it.
whoa im dead full here... ugh!!
haha.. i weighed myself today... and to my surprise... i lost 5 kilos... that;s really strange... with the sort of eating habit im having... i should be gaining weight!
haha....

oh wait... i cant upload the picture. apparently i need to sign up with this online photo thingy. sorry folks!

A Washout...

Its the start of the long but short weekend... fridays...
About yesterday's game, we declared it a wash out due to the heavy rain pouring from the sky. it's such a pity... i was all up for it, ready to whack someones ass!! my hands are just fidgeting in excitement... melbourne weather... so unpredictable. but anyway, Next week... i better be ready for them.
oh geez... i forgot to call Sean yesterday... my time schedule was sort of screwed when my game was postponed.
there was a new exhibition being displayed at the Archi building's atrium... its the Colorbond Steel student bienniel... whatever... it's one of the most prestigious design competition held for students... and was i was in awe staring at the works... magnificent graphics. it was an exhibition of the finalist from all different unis around aussie, great and small... UNSW, QUT, RMIT... etc. yea... it was just truly inspiring.
to avoid letting the weekend just fly by... i'll shall sing you all a song...

come fly with me
lets fly lets fly away
if you can use some exotic boose
theres a bar in far bombay
common fly with me lets fly lets fly away
come fly with me
let's float down to peru
in llama land theres a one man band
and he'll tute his flute for you
lets take up in the blue...
once i get you up there
where the air is rarefied
we'll just fly, stary eyed
once i get you up there
i'll be holding you so near
you can hear, the angels cheer
because we're together
weather wise, its such a lovely day
just say the word and we'll beat those birds
down acupulco bay
come fly with me, l
come fly with me
lets fly lets fly away
if you can use some exotic boose

Hello...

hello everyone!!
yet again i have neglected the existence of my blog and occupied myself with "other" things...
anyway! im going off to uni in a couple of minutes. i have a tennis match today at 1900 hours. and this time i feel much more prepared compared to last week's match. i went for "training" yesterday evening after classes, and man it was a vigourous one. my legs were really sore after the whole thing. yea... i think last week's match... i hardly/ or never really broke a sweat... it was an easy going match... hmmm today i shall be more competitive!! (i could elaborate further on my match last week, however... am too lazy!) *Yawn*

yeap! been sort of pretty occupied with things other than BGR... however things will be more toned down by the end of next week i think. and i should dedicate myself more into my Design work... lacking inspiration lately... hehe... [pondering why...]

anyway! my maid's gone of to be married to some illegal immigrant... it was a sudden/ secretive notion that no one had expected. nonetheless, my family managed to get a new one. yet to know on the details... but all i know is... she's a real sleeper... and when i mean sleeper... i mean SLEEPER... like a log. heard she can sleep through a whole racket of banging and shouting...etc. PIG PIG PIG!! and i thought i was a real pig... imagine her! they had to shake her... literally shook her till she peels her eyes... i suspect that she's on weeds. cant wait to meet her... thats if she doesnt get fired by the time i get home.

anyway, im off to uni now! wish me luck on my match... have to call Sean after the game... ugh!

Shades of grey...

i never managed to get around in replying mails... havent found a time to really sit down to write decent reasonably long mails. so just settle for the blog.
just had brunch with my cell leader... i coughed alot. but managed to get hold of some anti-biotic pills... this sore throat of mine is getting really irritating. *cough*
i've created this funky new art piece for todays presentation later... its a page of different shades of grey and sizes of circles all scattered around filling up the page... then in the middle is a lil small circle right on top of an elipse. its supposed to depict of one real/ original object- which is the white (white= purity) circle, having a black elipse to strengthen the point of its 3-D mass... acting as a shadow. as the black and white emerges together... it creates new forms of circles being grey and of different exaggerated sizes... yea... and the rest... go figure. i could upload the picture.. but unfortunately am in uni now... haha, i might do it later.
yea... and today i've got a match going on in the evening... but sadly... i wont be able to make it. my captain managed to get a replacement for my absense this week. next week... i'll be back!

ugh... continue this later.. something came up.

Nonsense... just like buddy the dog.

Another slack weekend went by... its just hard to get out of bed, when you're in the zone, you're just in the zone. but then again... it wasnt all that unproductive... the night activities we're slightly more active in a leisureble manner.
Hi Mother and Father... welcome to the world of blogging... enjoy.
ugh... my throat's really hurting at the moment... still feeling abit heaty from the previous' night lamb chop dinner. its tiring... of always having to contemplate if i have to either swallow my saliva or just spit it out. i mean... swallowing it just makes things painful... and incovenience is usually the case when i intend to spit.i still don't know whats so disgusting of spitting into the rubbish bins... its a Rubbish bin anyway, flammy salivas aint really useful fluids to be sinked through my throat.
*oh... Alvina... will get back to your mail... ASAP... juicy details?! hehe...*
it's interesting that my world is getting more and more evolve around med students... sunday, i had dinner with JM and her bunch of senior med friends. and to think... i really dont fit in.. probably being the fact that i'm new... and being seated in a squarish table... its hard to socialize within the corners. and med people are just med people... they're med? making no-sense here... well theres always this mentality of med students usually are bred in rich well to do families... and with the so called genius brains they possesed... they are set apart from the world. and ahaha... being up there... its hard to look down... but us being down there i guess its easy for us to look up and underneath them... all the more easier and transparent if they are wearing skirts. hehe...
my throat is really painful... ouch!
and did you all know that today is singapore's national day? hehe... best time to whip a bomb down there... hehe. kidding kidding... we malaysians love our neighbours... ;-)

How much is that doggie in the window... woof woof!!

there goes another week of classes... ended with just a wink. it all happened so fast... i had yet been able to digest it all. the semester is still at its foot... and work has yet to pile up.
still thinking and still trying to grasp the fact of Jojo's departure... its sad i still think to have it dead, without me being able to witness the event with my very own eyes. i still can remember the time when snowball left us. she'd been body stiff for the pass weeks... and there wasnt much the vet could do 'cept await its death. she was lied outside the front over newspapers... the only signs of her being still alive is her panting and eye blinks. then one sunday... things felt abit weird, and i went out to check up on her. her eyes were still wide open... but no signs of breathing.. and with her tounge dangling out like that... its definitely a gesture of resting in peace. yea... scary it was. and during then, jojo was still very much spunky and lively. to think years later... sudden death. nobody see it coming i think. how tragic.
*serene, you wept tears eh... i was in total blankness. it was like sudden white... best i fill my mind with other things to occupy the empty thought in my head. i was keen on seeing her too when i get back.*
Anyway, Modern architecture... pretty interesting. being less subjective as previous semester's Theories... i'm assuming that i would have more fun in this... rediscovering the precedents and our very forefathers of modernism. someone had told me... lots of architects are gays... funny.. when did that happen along the historical lines of architects as being weirdos and playboys. *i'm talking nonsense here...*
those of you whom i have yet to reply the mails... in due time... in due time.
i miss Jojo... intended to blog down all the things me and Jo used to do... especially when my sister was out of sight... keke.but am too lazy...

Monday, August 02, 2004

All quiet down the belly front...

its been really a long while since i've logged on into my blog. but anyways... im back. actually just waiting for my turn to use the bathroom... yea, 5 people using one bathroom. but its cool... atleast its not 10!!
i'm really dead full right now... just had dinner in the city at this new restaurant... i wasnt full of the dinner... but it was desert! puddings!! yum... err actually... its ugh ugh right now. i should try and control my self from these food indulgences. its bad for my body.. especially now when competitions are starting this week. oh help me god! im in deep trouble... competition's in less than 3 days... and i have not had practice with my teammates at all!!
oh dear, people... bad news... my dog died. well technically its my sister's... but its still partially my dog... her name is Jojo. she's dead... the last time i heard was that she went for some serious operation on her jaw... and i tot she'd be all better after that... apparently not. im thinking right now of the book "the curious incident of the dog in the night"... yes! when i get back... i have to get down to the bottom of this mystery of who killed Jojo. this is really sad... i was really sort of excited of seeing my dogs when i get back. now its only Buddy... the dog who pees at every second. hmmm... jojo.... she was so young... well, not really... but still half the age when snow ball died. this is really tragic... i've nothing more to say... im depress... i shall go and take my bath right now... *sob*

Back to school...

finally the holidays has ended... well, it was great while it lasted. now its back to projects and assignments, and a newly addition of final exams. horrible! other than that, everything is back to normal i guess.
dissapointed though, couldnt manage to do Roman Art & Architecture. apparently it isnt a subject offered this semester. weird. nevertheless, modern architecture is fine with me. except i dislike having to sit for a final exam paper. its an elective subject, should be a sub that will help boost our grades easily. haha, cant wait till we get to the Le Corbusier topic, that should be interesting... i like le corb ( the father of modern architecture)... tough he's a male chauvenist as well as a pervert... he's a genius in so many other ways in architecture.
was at July Camp during the last weekend of the holidays... overall it was... ummm... refreshing. yeap. cell lead during the camp, but they didnt really require much of my attention... all quite dependable. usually camps for me is a time to try get in touch with God as well as a reflection period to back track how my life has been progressing and etc. it can be really tiring to think about things (ugly things), but it once all is settled and left behind... its all worthwhile. glad i had company this time around to share the sort of bitter memory moments... ;-)
here's a verse i have to share...

Psalm 119
I will obey your decrees; do not utterly forsake me.
I delight in your decrees; i will not neglect your word.
Your statutes are my delight; they are my counselors.
I run in the path of your commands, for you have set my heart free
How i long for your percepts! Preserve my life in your righteousness.
I lift up my hands to your commands, which i love, and i meditate on your decrees.
This has been my practice: i obey your precepts.
The earth is filled with your love, O Lord; teach me your decrees.
The law from your mouth is more precious to me than thousands of pieces of silver & gold.
May my heart be blameless toward your decrees, that i may not be put to shame.
Preserve my life according to your love, and i will obey the statutes of your mouth.
To all perfection i see a limit; but your commands are boundless.
I gain understanding from your precepts; therefore i hate every wrong path.
My heart is set on keeping your decrees to the very end.
My flesh trembles in fear of you; i stand in awe of your laws.
And because i consider all your precepts right, i hate every wrong path.
Streams of tears flow from my eyes, for your law is not obeyed.
Your statutes arew forever right; give me understanding that i may live.
Long ago i learned from your statutes that you establised them to last forever.
All your words are true; all your righteous laws are eternal.
I obey your precepts and your statutes, for all my ways are known to you.
I have strayed like a lost sheep. Seek your servant, for i have not forgotten your commands.

Dirty Dancing...

feeling really remorse for my apartment, its like a lil boy who hasnt taken his bathe for weeks. i still cannot understand why people can be so unhygenic. they can just let oil and dirt lie around the house for days and weeks. leaving hair lying all over in the toilet. rubbish piling up till theres no room in the kitchen to move around. dishes washed like it wasnt washed at all... pots and pans as black as charcoal. not to mention so so lazy to get cutlerries and plates from cabinets. milk bottles just left stacking up, until you would think we're exhibiting some funky art pieces around the house... well folks... thats art for you. i have the least things being occupied in the kitchen and toilet... yet... sigh. and we're renting out the other room... its quite embarassing for them to see the condition of the apartment... i think the only people we would attract to want to live here would be slobs or maybe the blind.
anyway, was fooling around learning how to dance last night... just some basic steps. its funny... all this while i thought that dancing was not a common activity that people would do or know how to do in asian countries. however, i think i'm really missing alot then. then again... dancing isnt really an interest i would take the initiative to learn. but it's rather fun.i remember one prom that i went... but the thought of dancing never occured in my mind in going for proms then. i thought the activities would be to meet friends and eat the whole night, oh with the occasional photo takings. but dancing... hmmm... naw!
ANYWAY!
meeting later regarding about july camp in the evening at uni... and tomorrow i have to go to my faculty to register my subjects. more or less decided to take up Roman Art & Architecture as my elective subject. the art of hellenic plagiarism... uncreative romans.

S L A C K . . .

the holidays are almost over... and it wasnt really a supposed productive holiday. haha... one word... SLACK.
however... the july camp would be a grand finale to end the holidays. partially excited and reluctant about the event. wonder what sort of cell members i'll be designated to. oh how exciting!!
well, the past few days have been really slacky days for me... mainly roaming around the four walls of my apartment. contemplating on doing activities... sadly the body was not able to respond to the minds desire. the nights were slightly more proactive... i mean did have an excuse to get out of the house, though my route destination was not really that far. hmmm... this is so unhealthy. dangerous i should say... such a procrastinator. its like the only way that would get me off my feet and start being proactive is to tie a rod behind my back that dangles towards my face with a banana tied with a string. like what Robin Williams would say, the only way things can be done is when there is a big hershey bar waiting at the end of the finishing line... time management would not be such a problem... instead things probably be done way ahead of schedule.

anyway... that was then. today i played tennis with my new racquet... the whole afternoon was occupied on the court. oopss... got my butt kicked accidently. shucks! rematch!! this bites... now i'll have to try my best of getting use to using the new racquet... i intend to complain and justify my reasons of losing in this blog entry... but then... never mind. theres always a 101 reasons for everything that went wrong... and one definite reason if all is good.
JM is on the way home now, yippie!... im hungry... i haven't eaten today. skipped breakfast... and was busy hitting balls during lunch time. ugh...
tomorrow... meeting of cell leaders for the camp at uni. at some building that i have no what-so-ever clue of its whereabouts... i think i have a few errands to do tomorrow. but the problem is im not so sure of what.
its my final week before the semester begins.... partially eager, and the other half... ummm lazy.

yea... serene... will contact ya.. soon... someday... one day.... hehe. cheers!

a WEE bit irritated...

have i mention that i have a special friend staying with us for the past couple of weeks? well... he's still here, and we shall call him Bian. Bian is a very special boy... with really small eyes... its practically just a line across below his eye brows. and he's got really strong pheromones... but it doesnt really help attract the opposite sex.
Anyway, not to be mean... but i am a lil annoyed. i think Bian has a problem with the loo. he has a very bad dick eye coordination when it comes to pissing into the bowl. every morning since the day he arrived, when i go for my morning wee... there is always a spot of urine on the floor, and the worse part is that he never cleans it up. i can assure that it is urine coz... u dont need to do a PH test to identify yellow (and occasionally slight red) water is urine water. it might had been orange juice... but then again, who on earth drinks OJs in the W.C??
Every morning when i see that.. i get pretty worked up... but cant express how i feel coz i am supposed to be nice to him. i feel like slapping him on the head... telling him to "aim! kiddo... AIM!!"... or stuck up 2 toothpicks up his eye lids... give him a better surface view of the bowl. However, i have to give credit to him for putting up the toilet seat... coz if he didnt. it be worse!! yellow strands of urine water around the toilet seat... pity the gals having to sit on top of that. yea.. maybe he should do his wee, female style... it be easier and convenient for him, and save our trouble for cleaning up after him.
i mean... he's been staying here for like almost 3 weeks... for free, doesnt need to do the house chores and cook... etc. and all we ask from him is a simple request to just pee it right. Geez...
i'm already having trouble cleaning the gals hair scattered around the toilet... and now urine?! you cant vacuum urine water with a vacuum cleaner... eh?
you know.. now im thinking... maybe he doesnt have a penis. i mean... how can anyone be that terrible at aiming... every morning! its not like he closes his eyes while peeing... i see him rubbing his eyes every morning... opening up his eye lids for about 5 minutes (must be shut really tightly). HHhhhmmmM... i must get down to the bottom of this.
i could actually go on and on complaining about this... but i shant lower my standards being whiners.

Return of the King... thats me!!

im back!!!!!!! bet all you peeps miss me... right you did!! anyway... was on a week at Adelaide... and it was freakin cold!! i mean the house i stayed was colder than it was on the outside. but i shall not complain... coz the hospitality services was great... eh? Adelaide was ummm very different from Melbourne. if spiderman was in Adelaide... he would probably be walking instead of swinging... coz the buildings aint tall enough to do so... hehe. Okay.. okay! sorry ju... i just couldnt help myself mocking. Adelaide was fun... i mean they have cinemas... the seats were so much better than the ones in melbourne... and they were screening Spiderman.. shows that they are quite up to track with melbourne. Spiderman was Super duper cool!! whoa... awesome!! magnificent!! wild!! i cant wait till part 3 comes out!! but please oh please... take Kirsten Dunst away!! she's ugly!! they should cast someone like Julia Stiles... now thats class. there's a lady with lots of style, charisma... not to mention pretty, and cool with a "dont-mess-with-me-dude-im-julia" vibe. pity peter parker... good thing she aint ugly in the comics...
yea... well... the most exciting activities during the trip was the food... eat n eat n eat. till i was dead full... i ate...Extra Large Beef Noodles, a Pathetic platter of Lasagna, German Sausages, Porterhouse Steak, Pancakes, Banana Sandwiches, Pie Floater (meat pie in green pea soup), KFC, Jap Mix rice, a huge glass of milk shake, Oysters, Cold Rock Ice Cream (ice cream mixed with Marshmallows & Maltesers), and Korean BBQ Buffet (Yum!). we did other activities as well, like going up to mount Lofty... Handolf (a german settlement), Rundell Mall (the most happening street in the city), and the Largest shopping mall in Adelaide!! Marion !! hahahaha... where i bought my new Babolat racquet!! oh.. i cant wait to play tennis... and start whopping some ass.
the Adelaide trip was overall... very relaxing and slack. i enjoyed myself there... with the company... though it got awkward at times being a tall lamp post. we had so much fun didnt we... eh? haha... talking crap... telling senseless illogical lame jokes... elephant walks... swaying with our shadows... and just chilling... not to mention our blur dont-know-what-to-do-next agendas... and of course our pre-planning for our Banana Cafe/Bar/Restaurant whatever, dont throw away the menu!! However!! the most bit that i dislike about the trip was the bus rides from Melb to adelaide and vice versa... it was freakin long!! 10 hours on the bus!! it was awful... well going there wasnt so bad... had company to talk with... but the trip back was... dreadful. plus, peeing in the bus toilet was impossible... aiming was hard with all the shaking and bumpy movements. probably i was a lil anxious to get back... the whole time i was staring out the window... hoping to see glimpses of the city scape... 10 hours was like 10 years!! im glad im back... yea really glad.

The Rose That Grew From Concrete...


Did you hear about the rose that grew

from a crack in the concrete

Proving nature's laws wrong it learned

2 walk without having feet

Funny it seems but by keeping its

dreams it learned 2 breathe fresh air.

Long live the rose that grew from

concrete when no one else even cared!

-Tupac Shakur
