Model Making

I was with Frankie having a meeting in DBKL. Officer from DBKL said that the house is strange in the overall context, and stand out from the neighbourhood, though it could be a amazing piece of architecture, still in the area of "influencial people" place, a shouting architecture is not encouraged. (they wanna save themselves from trouble, one of the main reason i guess... Imagize all the Datos, Dato Seris, Tan Sris, or even PM writing to DBKL to complain about this, no one would want his job to end like this)

*heard that PM and DPM bungalows are located in Bukit Damansara, not sure true or not, lazy to confirm it.

And, there came the best part, Frankie said: We could always produce a SITE MODEL for you, and it will prove the design is absolutely in harmony with the neighbours, and in the same time it is a sustainable design, which in line with DBKL's guidelines..."

There it comes, what troubling me for almost THREE WEEKS!

I must say, it could be the most difficult ever model making in my 23 years of history on earth!

First, i took 1 week to do this...

And then, i spent another week, doing the house itself and repairing the other SMALL SMALL things, which is at 1:500 scale!!!

I have to say, I really hate the colour on my model!!!

As I mentioned, the model is at 1:500 scale, however, the boss even gets the scale ruler and argued with me over 1m of building height... If you still do not have a clear idea of 1m in 1:500 scale, it is 2mm, which is equivalant to the thickness of ONLY ONE mounting board!

The proportion of my finger to the house

On the third week, repairing this repairing that, and, I took the house off its columns and base, 6 times!!! Heartpain...

Then, came the worst part, boss said the drain in front of our site is very very very important, and, there's how he created the drain on the model...

All you need to make a drain on a site model, is a blue colour Artline 0.6, and 5 minutes of your precious time... (heart wrenching....)

Did I say I also hurted my finger?!

This, is AhBeng's precious experience on model making. If I were to make some kind of sentense making, I would choose alphabet F!

Rocket House

Driving along the highways in Shanghai, you have a very very very high chance of seeing this...

Perspective from a distance, I believe the first impression one would have is like: "huh... nice oh, even houses also like Disneyland, got pretty pretty and colourful castle ah!"

However, at a closer look, this is how the cluster of fantasy houses look like...

I call the houses, Rocket House.

Why rocket house? Because it really looks like having rocket ports on top of the roofs!

The residents in Shanghai believe that the higher and bigger your rocket is, the richer you are.

AhBeng's believe it or not? Believe it.

Bravo!!!

I bet those who know me, even myself, never know I am so brave and daring, taking the so called "exciting adventures" as nothing... By the way, same goes to sieu mei.


It was really boring and sleepy on the roller coaster. :p

Birthday

8th November 2008, my birthday, 23rd birthday.

Though busy with the submission of Tokyo Design Centre Exhibition, still, made up my mind to go home for my birthday with my family and ting.

Lot of work load on monday, but, i never regret. It is really a very very happy birthday for me.

Malaysian Attitude?

It was balik kampung time, and i was in Pudu.

It has been quite some time since i take bus in pudu, and, I was so surprised to see the renovation on Pudu terminal, new painting, new sign boards... Though personally i think that the colours are awfuly matched, still it is an effort to improve the condition, i appreciate that.

New painting, with the new signboards, is it nice?

Crack on the newly painted wall?! Did i just say NEWLY PAINTED? Or it hass been ages since last time i came?

Boring while waiting for the bus to come, I was staring at the signboard... Toilet, lift, ticket counter, keluar sign, do not smoke, do not litter, well, a pretty informative signboard. However, the moment I turned my head to the other direction, I was amazed, by this...

Having the toilet sign next to a "Do-not-pee-Here" sign, that's exclusive in Malaysia, only Malaysia.

Juliet the Orange - Quizzical

First heard of the song when i started to turn to perfect10, 98.7. Timing could never be that good, because I had the chance to get to know this amazing group from Malaysia that came up with such brilliant music of fantasy and mirage.

It's such a shame for hitz.fm and mix fm that they never broadcast or promote this gifted Malaysian group!!! And now, without the sales and support from local industry, they have actually split years ago. Such a pain that we have lost them...

Found a very interesting animation done by biscottifish in youtube. Share with you all.

It's from the comments of the clip saying that one of them is now a lawyer, she is doing great in life and career... May they all do well in their career and life, God bless.

First ever project

Well, just into the first month of my working life in the company, and, i had completed my first task! ^^

It was a tough one, as we virtually have only 2 people working on the all DRAWINGs, from landscape, interior, floor plans, to presentation board and etc etc... and, we managed to 'wrap' it all up just before the boss went to airport, in merely 1 1/2 week!

the landscape, layers of bamboo and colourful vegetation that grows under, around, and even above the building, it's gonna be stunning to experience.

Amazing sunset view by bs, jj and feei, a house for all seasons, another Falling Water it may be? haha...

I am ready to take the challanges and the learning curve. Way to go.
