** Sundays **

sitting by the glass curtain wall of Transport*...sipping on a cafe latte...
the live band playing behind...
looking out on the walkway...a young skaterboy...
mum looking on...smiling...laughing...
passerby stop...snap snap cameras go...
sunlight bathing radiantly...
a lazy sunday...3pm...

** Pissarro **

i am a small town boy from the countryside. this town is called sitiawan. well no maybe its not called countryside, more like kampung. but i would reckon kampung means countryside anyway. it just sounds not so beautiful in malay.

what do you call a small town kampung boy who goes to the national gallery of victoria (NGV) to look at paintings by the infamous Camille Pissarro? an imposter or a wannabe? you people with terrible minds...its cultured!

i'm not very educated on arts and paintings, but i did enjoy Pissarro's works. The First Impressionist. very impressive indeed.

and after that? i feel cultured...and educated. i am a cultured country boy for the day =)...

** Daylight Savings **

Monday, April 03, 2006
8:05am
another 25 minutes more before i go for site excursion...and i'm still wondering away my ability to wake up so early. thus i am spending time blogging.

7:30am
i just realized that one of my phones has betrayed my trust. its showing 8:30am while my other phone and computer shows 7:30am. which should i trust? i better message wieka to confirm the time now.

6:55am
oh no wake up wake up! open your eyes you sleepy head! you only have half an hour to prepared to go meet up with will, george, tito and wieka for site excursion! (i thought it was 7:55am)

Sunday, April 02, 2006
9:00am
i met the tutors and my other classmates at the corner of franklin and swanston street. we are going on a site excursion to deakin, la trobe, rmit and monash uni.

8:00am
its so hard to wake up when you had to wake up a second time after the first. is it really 8:00am now? or is it 9:00am? am i late? hopefully not.

7:00am
oh no wake up wake up! open your eyes you sleepy head! you are going to be late if you don't wake up now. oh wait...the end of daylight savings starts today. that means i get an extra hour today. and that means another hour of sleep time...let me lie down...just for another hour pretty please...

i will never ever trust daylight savings time again.

** Saturday Morning Blues **

today is a fine saturday morn, student sigh to the weekends, adults work half day...

as for i, another mundane day neither exciting nor boring. here i hang, on the tree of desire, basking in the gloriest of morning sunlight. little small droplets of heat tans my skin...oooh so gooooood its feels...

aaaeeeiiiiiiiiikkkkk!!

was that a scream i heard? just a small shriek i think. no big matter...as i slumber off into another sinful sleep...i know my partner to be near, no worries i think, camouflaged by the thick dark leaves...

that assumption was a mistake indeed, as men came along with sticks. whoopppp came swinging down...striking me as it did. it hit me! quick quick run! its calamity on our tails. luck be with my partner, as he slither tither towards another tree the fence. me on the other hand, had to hide among more leaves. "ugh...die la this time"...

whooppp whooppp the stick came again. they've found me! no more place to run, no more place to hide. this is the end. a gloriest saturday morn...time stands still...for me. the victim of this story...

they people whack and hit me till i'm a pulp of stick. aiyamah...dogs furthermore, tearing my body apart. at last, my eyes grows smaller...and i see my tail in front of me, on a portion of its own!

gone was the wind. i no longer live. thus was my mundane saturday morning...

** Ouch...Is An Understatement **

Happy new year 2006! being out of scene for almost 4 month, i know i've lost some loyal readers (whoever those are). never fear, another year of excitement and joyous occasions...with lady luck on my side...lots of interesting encounters for another 12 months!

To begin a wonderful year of upcoming excitement, i went to have my wisdom tooth extracted. NO...i'm not having a swollen infectious ugly puss disease in my gums! the reason for it being my smart and wise tooth made its own decision to grow horizontally instead of staying in an upright position (why else would it be called wisdom tooth). resulting in food getting stuck in the valley of doom in between my upper tooth and the smarty pants tooth.

So to avoid the valley from being infested by yucky bacteria, smarty pants tooth has to say bye bye!

Was the ordeal painful? i have to say...the process of cutting the tooth is...more tedious than it is painful. i was given anesthetic to numb my mouth...its an interesting feeling, not being able to talk, and close your mouth up tight. and with the blood spillling out just like that. its like i'm suddenly dumb. i dont' even taste blood anymore. my tougue felt like a pickle stuck to my throat. the dentist would then cut my gums open, give it a disection. COOl i can't feel a thing! haha...(i was freaking out all the time la). ok she then use a diamond driller to cut my tooth.........then....THUG THUG THUG! urgh playing tug of war between the dentist and i....with the tooth as the so called rope. i have to tell ya...there was no fun to it...it took alot of tugging to finally yank smarty pants out. reason? smarty pants tooth is smarter than i thought! its root has a 90 degrees angle! blardy hell.

The aftermath of all that is when the numbness wore off...i can't open my mouth...i can't eat...i can't talk...its painful! what a terrible experience. my mouth constantly filled with blood from the oozing wound. might as well turn into a vampire and drink my own blood! i think i'll be like this for a week or so. i heard it'd be worst tmrw.....well we'll see.

i'm starving...no i don't want porridge...when can i eat char kuey teow?

** I Am Big Fish **

...i speak the tale of fairy tales, sown into the hearts of children all over the world, making their world...a wondrous world of imagination, that springs out to life in a rather mundane world of reality...

i finally took time to watch "big fish" the other day, a wonderful movie that i truly enjoyed. the score was magical, the directing wonderful, the depth of the story...i love it...not to mention i just realise that tim burton is a great director.
and seeing the oompa loompa indian guy in big fish as well? haha go check it out! (i know i'm slow in watching that movie ok)...
i will definately catch any other new movies by tim burton...coming soon...is "corpse bride"

kids nowadays are smart, but they don't live a magical childhood. the boy on tv in the gameshow "australia's brainiest kids" could shout out the answer United Kingdom knowingly and yet...not able to recognise the simplest question presented...

what is the name of robinson cruisoe's companion when he was stuck on an island? (friday)
the boy go...uh uh duh uh...pass!

hmmm...i wonder...is powerpuff girls and spongebob squarepants conquering the world now?
or is it the knowledge that Kyiv is the capital in ukraine?

** Malaysia + Space = ?????? **

i read this article on BBC news a couple of days ago...
i find it amusing so i guess i might just share it with u guys haha =P

here's the direct link http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/4192166.stm

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Malaysia has announced that it hopes to put a man on the moon by the year 2020 as part of its $25m space programme.
The Science and Technology Minister, Jamaludin Jarjis, said he would be presenting a plan to the cabinet.
Mr Jarjis says the country needs to build up a pool of trained astronauts in preparation.
But such dreams were almost immediately called into question when the first batch of would-be space explorers struggled with a simple fitness test.
Mission not-impossible
Malaysia is a nation of seemingly limitless ambition.
Having already built what were the world's tallest buildings, it must seem only a short hop from there to the moon.
But there are still serious obstacles to overcome.
On Saturday, the first group from a shortlist of more than 800 would-be astronauts set out to run 3.5km (two miles) in a leisurely 20 minutes.
All were hoping to claim Malaysia's seat on a Russian-led space mission, scheduled for 2007.
But only 12 out of 31 taking part passed the test.
Some observers wondered whether their performance might be linked to the local diet.
Earlier this year, the country announced a programme to put Malaysia's favourite foods into space.
A TEAM IS TO BE SENT TO HOUSTON IN TEXAS TO FIND OUT HOW TO PROCESS TEH TARIK (SWEET TEA), ROTI CANAI (FLAKY GRIDDLED PANCAKES) AND NASI LEMAK (COCONUT RICE) FOR CONSUMPTION IN ZERO GRAVITY.
ALL ARE ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS, BUT RATHER FATTENING
However, no one should write off Malaysia's chances of achieving its latest goal.
The country has transformed itself from a largely rural society to a high-tech led economy in just 20 years, and refuses to believe that any mission is impossible.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

imagine the American astronauts couldn't stand eating spicy food...and they throw the food out the window...wah...malaysia delicacy flying around space, a higher achievement compared to klcc!
although malaysiaN astronauts tak boleh i bet malaysian food memang BOLEH!
MERDEKA MERDEKA MERDEKA!!! haha

oh man i really miss the nasi lemak and roti canai back home now...mouth waters*...

** Architecture **

currently playing with blocks...arranging...dismantling...re-arranging again...godzilla-ing...re-building again...and the process goes on and on...

purpose?...to build an architecture*

precedent?...lego and lasy...the key to spawn future architects...
just a digest of lego and lasy for childhood playtoys will do.

altho...things will become only black and white after a while rather than red...
i guess thats how i got started =)

**It Is Now 5:24 AM**

its already quite late now and i'm still awake...and what a time to choose to blog. i can't help it i guess, things just keep popping up in my head, thinking, pondering, wondering.... i have a problem with sleeping with a full loaded working brain. i start thinking when i lie down trying to sleep. ideas pop out of no where, and most of them are silly but usually ideas mostly for my assignments. its really irritating at times when i have to wake up early the next day...getting less sleep and crappy ideas...

chatting with a friend a while ago has made me think alot. its been ages since i last caught up with her and yes i really did learn of many events that happened since i last saw her during summer break early this year. she i can say is "fully contented and successful". i just can't believe it when she told me that she worked two jobs, one as a tuition teacher to help a friend out and the other as a supervisor for an advertising company, all in all while handling her university studies, society clubs, a loving boyfriend and a very healthy social life meeting up with friends for events and etc.

she now has her own place, her own car, a job, a loving partner and studies going well. well, she does find it hard to cope with so much in her life but she's doing a good job in my opinion. it just blew me away to think of the amount of things she handles in her everyday life...

what she has achieved is so much more than what i have achieved so far...in comparison...i felt so useless. what i have now is just university studies, ltc and ocf to juggle. does that count much? that only counts for 2 out of the 4 things that my friend mentioned...

i guess u can say that i'm not giving my all in yet...and i know i should. sometimes i feel so foreign here in melbourne. it is where i am and where i've adapted to...but i'm still not fully embracing the fact that i can grab it just as easy as i can go anywhere in sitiawan...

i'm loosing out on lots of stuff by the way i am now...i miss the company of the friends that know me inside out left and right. old friends know you best. yes, but i am here they are there...and they have moved on with new friends as well. it wouldn't be wise to dig to the past and relive the old...

people who knows me would read this and realise that i have have kept a part of myself within me. it would be obvious to those that are new in my life. it takes time for me to be me. it takes more than a while to be me. it takes some patience to know me as myself.

writing this out loud helped me realise the fool that i am...a hermit still living in his shell eventhough swept away by the ocean flow to a new found paradise...

blogged on a very lousy day where my pc decided to ran amok to be reformated four times, with a frustrating assignment partner, with an unfinished work, with a pc which is not yet fully fixed, with heavy eyes, with stiff neck and class in three and a half hours time...
it is now 5:52 AM ... bedtime ...

** Bon Appetite **

first time eating kangaroo meat today after coming to australia for so long. mmm...not bad actually other than the unfamiliar weird smell when i cook it...

apparently it is one of the healthiest red meat with less than 2% of fat and contains very high levels of quality protein, iron and zinc. but then (me checking the internet for information on goodness of kangaroo meat)...a website says that kangaroo meat are usually sold as dog or cat food...

err...i feel sick now...the kangaroo meat already digesting in my stomach...

** Legoland Tokyo...Memories...Thoughts...Bow-Wow-Wow **

Made In Tokyo

a work by architects from "Team Made In Tokyo", consists mainly of architects Momoyo Kaijima, Junzo Kuroda, Yoshiharu Tsukamato. click on the link above to have an interesting play with the interactive website on architecture hybrid in tokyo.

below...just memories...

...that i had during the time i was in tokyo...recall places that i went like shinjuku (where times square is..its great shopping area),
roppongi (my first stint at a club..nothing bad..an eye opener for an underage kid and tokyo towers is here too),
akihabara (bought my sony camera there..all the duty free shops),
Ginza (i can't remember what i did there..but i think it has a very interesting market/street),
ikebukuro (i had to stop here everytime to catch a train back..i remember the best ramen shop here),
ryogoku (big temple with huge jap tanglung),
...erm...there are other places that i can't remember anymore...japan, wonderful place that i want to go again...

thinking of applying for the RMIT student exchange to Japan...so i can go back there...

thinking of getting work now...to earn some money to go on a trip to thailand and singapore during the summer break...

thinking of the ammount of work i have to expect from the subjects i'm taking this semester...which i know will take up most of my time...

thinking of the way i am to juggle studying architecture and having a job at the same time...would i be able to cope with it...

random amusement...
...kaijima and tsukamato together form the architecture practise named "Atelier Bow-Wow"...and then...so happens my dog's name is Bow-Wow*

Bow-wow-wow...wow-wow...

** I Start Uni Tomorrow **

another semester looms away and another draws nearby, oozing intimately like "death" whispering by my ears...speaking the words..."YOU ARE MINE!!!"

aih..thats how i feel at the moment at least. i start classes tomorrow! two stupid long weeks earlier than some of my friends, blame it all on RMIT teaching schedule! i know i should be somewhat encouraged the way my parents money are being put into good use educating me, but you have to admit it, we as students...aren't that keen on studying at all! looking forward to holidays is always first priority...bah!

time to sum up the holidays now.
i know i haven't been much of a blogger for the past few weeks. putting up a few pictures to make my blog more lively...thats my way of getting you guys fooled...hehe...both taking up space and eye catching. =P

1. charles came from NZ

2. went up to mt buller for two days, skied almost all the buller trails except for the extreme ones. overall...skiing's great fun, snowboarding's not!

3. went to the great ocean road as well. sorry charles that we did not get to see the 12 apostles...(damnation to the union protest that was going on that morning!)...but at least you left a piece of you there. you can now say...i am part of the great ocean road! haha

8. reading as well

my results is out. got 70 for design, 72 for history and 70 for tech. all barely distinctions! at least it'll show D in the transcript and not the marks =P

i guess i did ok this semester but i see a very obvious pattern. my marks are slowly dropping bit by bit...like someone is sucking my brains away slowly. somehow i'm wondering, will my marks drop a little more this new semester? and by the time i graduate..i'm left with 0 marks? haha quite a scary thought...

just to end with a few shouts...

1. happy birthday babi ben! getting older doesn't fit your face, time to have chichi at your place!

2. evelyn ong faster come to melbourne!

3. have a good time at geelong juni!

** Within The Fence **

i'm locked behind the barb wire, struting about in an enclosed world. what on earth is beyond the line, i would never ever know. the fence is a barrier that keeps me in, a barrier that keeps them out. i'm living in my own little world.
looking over the fence, straining to look into the fog. the figurine of people i see beyond. embracement is futile, i know, because the fence keeps me within. as much as i can do, i just keep calling out. people hear from from afar, they hear me as they hear others. yet do they see that i'm behind the fence? costant sound travels wide, view of solid does not.
when can i be set free from this place? when can i enjoy what others feel? i long for the outside world, i long for their embracing touch. behind this fence i stand, the overhead lights that shine, down on this lonely body of mine...

within the fence...i am...

** Design Proposal - Inside & Outside **

"the inside of the inside is the inside of the outside"

a house, in particular would be the urban inside. the interiority of space that moves in a linear progression, following square, grids, lines. putting the urban inside into the outside surrounding context, the outside, in comparison becomes indefinite. lost without directions, overly confusing with disorientated positioning and directions.
the urban house is a programmatic conclusion, an area which is easily recognisable and straightforward. one would not get lost in it, however, at times, would be overwhelmed by the amount of directions and orderly mannerism. instruction overloading, one just has to get out!
in contract, the outside, the country, brings surprises and is without whatsoever directional program. the curves of roads, the up and downs of hills, the randomness in positioning, all in all becomes senseless. a distance view is unreachable without much thought and exploration. a haven of non program.
the outside, a place where urban city dwellers run to after having too much of a coordinated life. would they survive the total opposite of what they had been living in? a contrast of survival, having altogether to learn to survive again in an alien surroundings - the outside.
what is the middle ground of the inside and the outside? south morang possess both these qualities. being at the edge of the inside and yet touches the tranquillity of the outside. it becomes the neutral zone for both extremes. they share both directional programs and randomness of both sides. streets in south morang, curve from side to side, houses positioned in awkward orientations, though all being in a planned coordination, it is planned to be as such. it brings to mind the effect of planned garden suburbs where clusters of parks are being planted in the middle of a housing/commercial area. south morang forms the resolve of bringing two sides together. using the linearity to perform the randomness.
a house that is neither the inside nor the outside. a house that neither pushes out the neighbours nor invite the neighbours in. a house that embraces city lifestyle with the implementations of the country nature. a house that is randomness with program. yet just a simple house, that brings surprises as well.

---------------** note **-------------------

i don't usually write much so after writing this..i just feel that i might as well post it up. thanks for reading tho its hard to understand it =)

2005-05-12T01:12:00.000+10:00

** Inside Outside **

"the inside of the inside is the inside of the outside"

a normal house is the urban inside. putting the urban inside into the outside surrounding context, the outside becomes undefinate. programatic runs within, an area recognized and straightforward. the outside, however, brings surprises, which is unknown.
what is middleground to the inside and the outside? a house that looks neither urban nor country. just a simple house, with recognisable programmes, but yet, having surprising twist of the unknown within as well.

---------# end of rambling crap #----------

ok oh well i wrote the stuff up there. how many people understood what i wrote up there?!?! none i bet! well hopefully my design tutors do understand it..or else i'm dead...haha
well what is the in between of things anyway? is there an in between? would there be a middleground for yes and no? is there neutralism in good and bad?

putting that aside...maureen is in melbourne! met her today and brought her around the city to docklands and federation square...and belanja her shanghai dumplings! oh i got loads of news from her...haha concerning upcoming marriages and marriages and more marriages! talk about choosing a good time to get married! yoke li and tze liang, jiunn hoong and dunno his name*...irene and dunno his name* as well. =P

** The Key To My So Called Heart **

The Keys to Your Heart

You are attracted to those who are unbridled, untrammeled, and free.

In love, you feel the most alive when things are straight-forward, and you're told that you're loved.

You'd like to your lover to think you are optimistic and happy.

You would be forced to break up with someone who was emotional, moody, and difficult to please.

Your ideal relationship is lasting. You want a relationship that looks to the future... one you can grow with.

Your risk of cheating is zero. You care about society and morality. You would never break a commitment.

You think of marriage as something precious. You'll treasure marriage and treat it as sacred.

In this moment, you think of love as something you thirst for. You'll do anything for love, but you won't fall for it easily.

** Number Nine **

Your Birthdate: February 9

Your birth on the 9th day of the month adds a tone of idealism and humanitarianism to your nature.

You become one who can work easily with people because you are broadminded, tolerant and generous.

You are ever sensitive to others' needs and feelings, and you are very sympathetic and compassionate.

Your feeling run deep and you often find yourself in dramatically charged situations.

This 9 energy always tends to give more that it gets.

What Does Your Birth Date Mean?

ok..this probably is true...maybe...hmm...

however, i think i work better alone...i don't really like working in a group.
well, as long as my group members aren't sleeping members then i would be totally happy to work with them.
yes i may be a person who works easily with others, being broadminded, tolerant and generous, but in the end i feel myself suffering the consequences of my own good attributes...

meeting my group members later to do a group presentation (again...which i did most of the work the previous countless times)...hmm...should i just throw the work to them this time?

** Why Do Men Lie **

a friend posted this story on the friendster bulletin post...
i wonder to what extent the moral of this story is true...haha =P

One day, while a woodcutter was cutting a
branch of a tree above a river, his axe fell into the river.
When he cried out, the Lord appeared and asked,
"Why are you crying?" The woodcutter replied that his axe has
fallen into water.

The Lord went down into the water and reappeared
with a golden axe. "Is this your axe?" the Lord asked.
The woodcutter replied, "No."

The Lord again went down and came up with a silver
axe. "Is this your axe?" the Lord asked. Again, the
woodcutter replied, "No."

The Lord went down again and came up with an iron
axe. "Is this your axe?" the Lord asked.
The woodcutter replied, "Yes."

The Lord was pleased with the man's honesty and
gave him all three axes to keep, and the
woodcutter went home happily.

One day while he was walking with his wife along the
riverbank, the woodcutter's wife fell into the river.
When he cried out, the Lord again appeared and
asked him, "Why are you crying?" "Oh Lord,
my wife has fallen into the water!"

The Lord went down into the water and came
up with Jennifer Lopez. "Is this your wife?" the Lord
asked. "Yes," cried the woodcutter.

The Lord was furious. "You cheat! That is an
untruth!"

The woodcutter replied, "Oh, forgive me, my Lord. It
is a misunderstanding. You see, if I said 'no'
to Jennifer Lopez, You will come up with
Catherine Zeta Jones. Then if I also say 'no' to her,
You will thirdly come up with my wife, and I will say 'yes,' and
then all three will be given to me. But Lord, I am a
poor man and I will not be able to take care of all
three wives, so that's why I said yes this time."

The moral of the story is whenever a man lies,
it is for an honourable and useful reason.

** Who Are The Gentlemen **

which south east asian country + australiasia has the most gentlemanly guys?

are they australians?
are they new zealanders?
are they singaporeans?
are they malaysians?
are they bruneians?
are they indonesians?
are they philipinos?
are they vietnamese?

the fact being i'm hardly a nice guy (maybe i am), i'm no gentleman. i guess i have a long way to go before i am considered one. therefore i am who i am. at least i think i am...

so is being self-centered and selfish all i care about? hmm...or what???

** Brush Away the Cobwebs...Wipe Away The Dust **

spiders scatter about, swirling, moulding, the bodily goo, from their sometimes huge backsides, dimensioning its domain, its lair, its booby trap, its masterpiece, the one leonardo cannot make...the COBWEB...

from mountains, crumbled down to boulders, hacked into pieces of stones, stone against stone, down to pebbles, the wind blowing, sweeping across here and there, sand became, a more microscopic form...the DUST...

what a way to start my new year blogging, by not starting on the strike of 12 o'clock on new year's eve. well to start again on february is definately a little late, so procrastinating has gotten over me....so what?

so here i am, writing my very first post for the year 2005. happy new year 2005 everyone! err...isn't it like a bit late for that? well here's a new layout, no more doggies to pee on everyone but a simple kaki green layout for an autumn feel...it is autumn now by the way.
