the fireworks were soooooooo PRETTY! i especially love the gold glittery ones that look like sprinkles =)
what was also nice was the rhythm created due to the delay in sound transmission after you see the fireworks =)
my first set of live fireworks seen after dunno how many thousand years after the ndp show i last watched live.
memorable yes =D

你看你 眉头都打结了
你熟悉的坚韧到哪去了
别因时光而磨损
快找回 那自信的眼神
不要因为爱错了一个人
就否决爱美好的可能
不管如何
都不要忘记你是最好的
要相信
你绝对有幸福的资格
你只有一个 独一无二
他不懂珍惜是他太笨
有多少人等着
要做你最最在乎的人
你只有一个 那么独特
你值得你期盼的快乐
当你不再非他不可了
他会知道失去的多难得
一定会找到珍惜你的人
全世界就非要你不可

now i truly understand how somebody can cry for inanimate objects.
my model which took two and a half days, plus some additional touch ups, was attacked by a broom this fateful morning and now lays crippled on my bed.
this entails some hours of repair which i absolutely cannot afford to provide before 30th Nov.
i know it is partly my fault for putting it under the bed, without warning and not deep enough.
just let me rant.
before injury: -

像冻到北极
要我陪你吃冰
恋爱是什么逻辑
算算星座和命理
到底谁在你心里
你这么惊天地
就要一路证明
谁在乎我有的比
当我一遇上你
却那么情不自禁
肯宁愿你蹂躏
你什么时候要回去你们火星
我越来越介意
做梦也梦到你
这算是我的天敌
e:你爱罗嗦又爱生气
喜欢我还嘴硬
好面子又假生气
s:好想被你吃定
败给你说话的眼睛
败给你微笑的魔力
不知不觉想每天跟你在一起
woo baby baby woo baby baby woo love
败给你少一根神经
爱上你这是我的命
我们世界原来就等这默契
woo baby baby woo baby baby woo
e:请问你还逼得我抓得那么紧
只是穿得性感些而已
你明明很自恋
让人等好着急
我心中你是第一名耐心还有爱心
爱不是有帅气就可以
拜托你别一直耍嘴皮
oh my oh my oh my oh my
s:什么时候要付出你那颗心
我越来越介意
做梦也梦到你
这算是我的天敌
e:很奇怪只要看到你
就变得好开心(s:有吗)
我已不能判你出局
s:我想把你吃定
败给你说话的眼睛
败给你微笑的魔力
不知不觉想每天跟你在一起
woo baby baby woo baby baby woo love
败给你少一根神经
爱上你这是我的命
我们世界原来就等这默契
woo baby baby woo baby baby woo
s:败给你爱上了你
看到小狗就蹲下去
骗自己你一定充满
我没发现的爱心
e:败给你爱上你
看不见你会生病
原来我也有害怕你
突然不见的危机
s:你也有温柔的时候
害我抬起头以为天上下着红雨
不然就是我还没有睡醒
只有一个我在意着的一个你
竟然的让我爱你
想你一天又一天又一天
我败给你说话的眼睛(e:败给你)
败给你微笑的魔力(e:我爱上你)
不知不觉想每天跟你在一起(e:想每天跟你在一起)
woo baby baby woo baby baby woo love
败给你少一根神经(s:我败给你)
爱上你这是我的命(s:我爱上你)
我们世界原来就等这默契
woo baby baby woo baby baby woo
败给你说话的眼睛(e: woo 败给你)
败给你微笑的魔力(s: yeah yeah yeah )
不知不觉想每天跟你在一起
woo baby baby woo baby baby woo love
败给你少一根神经(e: woo 败给你)
爱上你这是我的命(s:我败给你 e:爱上你)
我们世界原来就等这默契

我静静靠着那里听叶落的声音
你是不是会听得见
看天空的星星浮云飘荡的风景
微风吹落了的脚印
一只蝴蝶轻轻飞过了你的身边
构成一幅动人画面
oh baby 在整个世界中心的就是你
有着不一样的感应
每当花开花落的季节我又忍不住想起
你那独一无二的气息
小心栽种把所有的感情埋在我的心里
期待着有那开花结果的一天就是你
我最爱的餐厅和你喜欢的电影
回忆里专属的场景
宠坏我的任性分享我的好心情
你总是什么都答应
有你出现再无聊也会变成特别
甜蜜占满整个视线
oh baby 在整个世界中心的就是你
占据着爱你的权利
每当花开花落的季节在这停下的时间
当你静静熟睡的气息
很孩子气印在我的心里感觉多么熟悉
关于有多爱你写成花瓣情书随着落叶寄给你
每当花开花落的季节我又忍不住想起
好想轻轻的告诉你
一种默契就是那么贴心
把你写在我的记忆里
来不及就是如此忐忑不安静爱上你
整个天空都是为了你
布满忧郁却很甜蜜的空气
那是我傻傻的想你
我期待下雨后的晴天
那一段暖暖的秘密
每当花开花落的季节我又忍不住想起
你那独一无二的气息
每个冬季翻开你的记忆仍在我的心里
期待着有那开花结果的一天爱上你

or was it about my attempts to convince them? they werent really convinced by some of the methods i have used, like the panorama... i didn't really try to convince even more. i could have though. maybe that could be a bit better. i don't know.
i'm like trying to avoid yet wanting to look at this crit in the face. i need to learn, yet at the same time there are so many uncertainties that would perhaps only be unravelled at the end of the day when you see results, or perhaps on monday when tsuto talks to us. okay i should wait before i speculate even more. no i shouldn't be speculating. the tutors have already said what is the problem. the problem is my choice of methodology and my inability to convince. i suppose my rationalisation has to be less instinctive and intuitive. yes this is the most important lesson from this.
yup. that is the lesson i have to learn. everything has to go back to the concept. does whatever i choose to do serve to realise the concept? i have to clear any doubt that is on my mind. NO POST-RATIONALISING!

so what have i learnt from this semester of design? honestly i don't really have an idea if i died for crit or not. what was questioned was something very fundamental in my design: why have i broken up the process? i suppose my mind hopes that the crit wasn't as bad as it seems and hence it decides to look at the issue from a more positive light: the execution was okay so they decide to question something that is more fundamental, whether it was necessary or not in the first place to separate. however, my other voice tells me at the same time that it could also be because these fundamental questions were not answered that's why they did not move on to discuss something else. perhaps it's like what mr g said: the separation should be such that they would not question how and why u choose to separate, but instead on how u configure spaces and etc. i suppose i hadn't been able to do that.
however i would still have to say that the space hopes to add value to the activity and the act of doing instead of just display since the space (its atmosphere etc.) may affect the activity being conducted itself. okay this might be a bit forced, but if u have knives hanging over u while u work would that make things more stressful in a way? i'm not sure myself but i dunno. if i really want to influence the act of doing would i have to go into real detail detail? the individual objects would have to be affected? so then perhaps the question was if cooking is the correct medium to look at that. hmm.
i should be less stubborn in following what i want, listen more to the tutors, understand where they are coming from and what is the concern or what is wrong in this place. then work on that and answer those queries first before moving on to the next set of issues. do not be too impatient and think that there is no time. at the same time, focus and concentrate on one thing at a time.
time management: VERY VERY important. as well as PRESENTATION (panel layout and stuff). panels should convey the important points and i SHOULD NOT spend unnecessary time drawing unnecessary elevations which i didn't complete in time anyway -.- i seriously need to plan my panels better and i suppose earlier. and hello i totally had no title saying my site was at west coast park -.-
what was the lesson i took out from the unconventional site mapping? some seemingly less important things are value added/becomes more important through these methods of isolation/framing and memory attachment.
always move back to think about issues from a larger perspective when u get lost.
move ahead, remember the lessons and study hard for exams!

沁: 我喜欢你的眼神温柔又危险
请不要戴上眼镜我会看不见
想要张开双手把你宝贝
想和你天天见面
想带你环游世界
飞: 我喜欢你爱逞强苯苯的笑脸
在心中抬头挺胸坚定的信念
这个辽阔世界不够完美
但有了你在我身边什么都很ok
副歌(合唱):
第一个心愿为你把幸福堆积
天涯到海角头发到呼吸
第二个心愿给你最好的自己
再许个心愿我的爱把你占领
哦~~~
沁: 为什么为了小事就要掉眼泪
好象有太多的事只能自己背
其实只要你说一句ok
现在就立刻马上变成你的superman
飞: 这世上最重要的不止是誓言
只要你常常记得亲亲我的脸
我会永远记得这个今天
还有很久的那一天我也要有你陪
下一个心愿给你最好的自己

there are some things you can only do with architecture friends xD
i am so glad i got to know all of you!
You know you're an architecture student when:
The alarm clock tells you when to go to sleep. (ok la it does tell me somewhat successfully when to wake up)
You're not ashamed of drooling in class anymore, especially during Structures lectures (just not ashamed of sleeping anymore since at least i turn up for lectures unlike some people hehe.)
You know what Superglue and UHU tastes like. (i seldom use superglue =p)
You celebrate space and observe your birthday. (now i'm not sure yet since my birthday doesnt fall on school semesters hehe.)
Coffee and Red Bull are tools, not treats.
People are nauseated just by smelling your caffeine breath. (that's why one should always have lakerol in studio xD)
You are surprised when you see a new building in your school.
You think it's possible to create space.
You've slept more than 20 hours non-stop in a single weekend. (me not that extreme yet.. maybe just 12 hours)
You fight with inanimate objects. (like bass wood bits that get stuck to my tweezers, and penknifes that refuse to be locked)
You've fallen asleep in the bathroom. (that reminds me: i have overslept for exactly one stop in two consecutive days -.-)
Your brother or sister thinks he or she is an only child.
You've listened to all your CDs in less than 48 hours. (and i initially thought that my music collection in the laptop was large. guess i need more cds muahaha)
You're not seen in public. (i havent gone to see the world outside home and studio for at least one/two weeks boo.)
You lose your house keys for a week and you don't even notice.
You've brushed your teeth and washed your hair in the university's bathroom. (i forgot my toothpaste one fine day.)
You've discovered the benefits of having none or very short hair, and you've started to appreciate inheriting baldness. (that does sound attractive though i'm not planning to cut soon haha)
You've used an entire role of film to photograph the sidewalk. (seriously that is very exciting. everyone should do that to see the permuations and the details u can see even in sth as mundane as the sidewalk)
You know the exact time the vending machines are refilled. (early in the mornings around 4/5am i think)
You always carry your deodorant.
You become excellent at recycling when making models. (modelling materials are SOOOO expensive! one should always steal stuff like acrylic from recycling bins in the year one studios hehe.)
When you try to communicate, you make a continuous and monotonous whine.
You've danced YMCA with excellent choreography at 3 am and without a single drop of alcohol in your body.- Not so much YMCA. Any song actually.
You take notes and leave messages with a rapidograph and colour markers.(i like my rotrings!)
You combine breakfast, lunch and dinner into one single meal.
You see holidays only as extra sleeping time. (exactly.)
You've got more photographs of buildings than of actual people.
You've taken your girlfriend (boyfriend) on a date to a construction site. (that could be possible someday.)
You've realised that French curves are not that exciting.
You can live without human contact, food or daylight, but if you can't print it's chaos.
When you're being shown pictures of a trip, you ask about the human scale
You can use Photoshop, Illustrator and make a web page, but you don't know how to use Excel.
You refer to great architects (dead or alive) by their first name as if you knew them (Frank, Corbu, Mies, Norman).
You buy 50 dollars worth of magazines that you haven't read yet. (yes i want to read them!!!!!)
You make numerous photocopies that you haven't read yet.
A kneaded eraser and a flex curve are all you need to have fun. (i mean trash is enough lor)
You think you can "design space".
You hear the word "Party" and know it has nothing to do with your weekend plans. (that must be the famous parti-models)
You have tried to squeeze sixteen hours of work into fifteen minutes . . .and succeeded. (now i'm not very sure about that. i only know that i only succeeded in penning 2 out of my 6 ortho drawings T.T i seriously love penning ortho drawings la! and i can do it quite nicely me thinks.)
You think things other than words read well.
You think trash can be artistic. (come on everyone should worship trash!)
i will come up with a nice doctrine somedayyyy. maybe after enlightenment during crit. if that happens yup haha.
that's why one should always talk rubbish you see.

每个人的心中都有一个小的梦
像蜻蜒点在微微涟漪水中
涟漪往往只会泛起短短一秒钟
却让人怀念的好久好久
在我们的爱情中总是太多风波
忘记它才能安然度过
释怀后的拥抱虽短感动却很久
就在爱情离开了我那么久以后
我还清晰记得在你怀中丰富感受
只一秒钟却永远了
虽然许多爱的可能在门外经过
为甚么我还深锁自己无动于衷
是一秒钟的天长地久深深包围我
只一秒钟却成为了永远

seriously i need to stop being scared of being wrong. despite that it means i have to rethink everything and i cant move ahead with my design. that is so very unhealthy. i need to stop avoiding work and extra work and everything. blehhhh. save meeeee. it's just you. why am i still scared? =s
it's okay, being wrong will make u learn and u would not make that mistake again! so dont be afraid!
seriously i need to stop having this sort of split personality thing -.- haha
