Memento mori

Death... is a topic that people seldom like touch about. Death is always unaccepted as people always avoid talking or even think about it. That is the reason we always heard Chinese said :"Choi…!"
Death seems like a very 'far' topic that is always put at the boundary zone of our life, but ironically it is very close to us. I meant, people hold the desire to live longer and the inability to accept death, but death always comes to people at any time, any place and any situation, it is so close to human.
For the latest submitted assignment about Brion Cemetery, my friends and I had been rushing for it and done research on it for days. I learn quite a lot about the notion of death, the understanding of death and the supposed way to see death. Actually, it is hard to illustrate about death. Rather talking about those assignment’s work, it should be noticed that death should be respected and accepted positively. That is why in many beliefs, the dead is housed satisfactorily.
Yup, it is really hard and sad to accept death if someone who is very close to us pass away. I knew it because my grandfather also passed away months ago. Many will feel regret that they did not spend much time with that someone. Anywhere, those 'living' are still in life, and there is still a long journey and future to go on. So, in spite of being sad and down, there is no use of feeling regret. On the contrary, with the lesson and awareness, people should carry on their life to become more meaningful and great. Death should not be a burden to life.
Jet, you will know it.
As a conclusion, I dare to say, death can be celebrated; for the dead, it is the end of this world but there is a new journey for them in negative world, for the living, despite being sad and unconscious, life can be enriched and changed positively with the lesson perceived.

(memento mori= a reminder of mortality.)

The Moment

My idol, Stephanie Sun Yan Zi has a song "The Moment" in her latest album. The song tells her story about the moments that mean a lot to her and caused changes on her since she has started her life in entertainment realm. I have shortly posted a comment about "the moment" in my friend Jet's website. I don't mean to bring much about this topic, just want to tell you that the existence of "moment" that it is seldom noticed by people.
According to dictionary, the meaning of "moment" can be interpreted as below:
--a period of time considered too short to measure; point of time
--the time of doing something; occasion
--importance
...etc
So, by referring to these meanings above, for me, "moment" in our life exists because we remember that "something" happens at the short period of time. The moment seems short, but the time is detained.. That "something" happens because:
--it is important either in positive influence or negative consequence
--there are values of reminiscence to keep in mind and worth of remembering, either in positive form to give pleasures or in negative form to give lessons of life.
For better illustrating, ...we sure remember some of "the moments" of our life... eg)
At the moment, I was hugging her, I felt happiness and warm. For me, she was the greatest.
At the moment, she rejected me, I dropped into the shadow of darkness.
At this moment, I am still maintaining... I love her.
At the moment, my car collided with the gate, without being controlled, I was shouting in heart myself:" SHIT loh!!!!...sei loâ... ". you know, I am the driver.
At the moment, i stepped on a shit, i yelled:" what the fxxking dog!" Sorry for that.
At the moment, the coffin was being nailed, the sound of nailing... we all cried, with tears welling up the eyes.
At the moment, ...etc ...etc

Just to let you know, cherish every moment of our life. Before that, "enjoy" our life and make it alive. ^_^

inhabited wall

The title of my current project is "inhabited wall". in this project, i am designing a gallery for an artist(of course it is not realistic la). i have a few question about this, hopefully you can tell me or give your comment for the answer:
_what is the relation between inhabited wall and gallery?
i dont know the actual answer. for me, in a limited area that has boundary for design, the space has to be 'fully' used and manipulated by nicely putting the partition walls. hence, i think this is one of the points that our gallery design linked to the title of 'inhabited wall'.
_what is the meaning of "inhabited wall"?
inside the wall, of course it is not habitable, right? i dont know the answer. i have another thinking about this... if a wall is built at a low height(about <1metre), then someone can sit on it(as a space of seat); or higher(1.5metre), we can put something on it(as a substitue of furniture)...etc. can my thinking related to the meaning of "inhabited wall". besides,for me, wall can be not a platform of wall, wall can be a wall that is 'invisible'/'vacuum' by maybe having 2 columns beside it. if this kind of walls are manipulated to create space within space that allows space in sight(because no block of view if the wall is invisible), so again, is it related a bit to the meaning of "inhabited wall"?
i maybe wrong in someway, please inform me ar give extra opinion ^_^, thank you.

wall...
few days ago, i post a comment to my friend's blog, about wall. briefly, i said i felt a 'partition wall' between he and me at the moment, i just simply comment, and then it becomes a controvercy topic, followed by big responces by my friends which concern about me and my way of thinking something. yup, they are right and i really appreciated their advices to me. in fact, 'partition wall' should not exist between friends if we really treat our friend as friend. the conflict happen because of misunderstanding of actual situation and contradiction of position. so, we should voice our feeling and thinking each other, and the mental contradiction was surfaced to be known, then recognition of thinking will be reached, and less conflict...^_^
so, connecting people...^_^ (as what has been interpreted by NOKIA and the concept of my previous studio project)

dusk

Do you find that the most attractive moment of the whole day is in the evening? evening is the moment of sunset. today evening, i was on the way back to subang, i noticed that the sky in the evening is really amazing and attractive, it was colorful... the background of the sky was mixed yellow and orrange in colors, decorated by layers of 'thin' cloud that were mainly red in color, mixed with blue, purple and green. WAH...it is really 'wah_some' ^_^ . i feel happiness and pretty at the moment.
evening is beautiful, because it is approaching night, the end of a day. human beings always find or feel something good because the END is coming close. at the moment, a simple thing can be a beautiful masterpiece of mother nature, because we feel that we are going to lose it. that is a lesson behind it, a lot of things around us are always kind, familiar and beautiful, but we seldom appreciate and cherish them, we just feel that they are precious before they disappear or fade, then we regret... so, cherish our life ^_^ , don't wait to be regret.

This is not my photo,but it is another pretty 'dusk'. ^_^

rain...

It is raining outside. i like rains.
little rain... i like,.. little and tiny drops of rain are falling down, being pushed by wind, they are floating on the air downward. they seem like very 'relax'. the scenery is a bit grey, i like it. ybe that s the reason i am a quite 'grey' person, in some particular aspects . so, friends help a lot at the moment while i am sinking into 'grey'.
heavy rain... i don't hate it,.. heavy,dense, noisy and fast drops of rain. the scenery is dark n almost black. i will feel a bit scared and not comfortable, but i may like the feel, because i always think of someone that time, that someone maybe my family member, my friend, or that someone i like. it is an extra time to think of more about someone who are "in your life", and who you care about.
i want to type more here...about rain , but the thunders scared me , i should protect my pc, right? so, just want to let you know i like rains. and, you can take another positive view on something that you dislike always. ^_^

me

Sometimes, i think i am a weird person to my friends. sometimes, maybe i am not very accepted by them because i have my way of making my life alive, i have my own behaviours. maybe all of these are not suitable with them, they would even think something negative about me. anywhere, i am not always correct, and i am not blamming that they dont understand me, just sometimes i feel alone. and i don like someone who tell me(or even commanding me) do this, do that , dont want to do that, should be like this...etc, i dont like this kind of constraint that tie my brain, behaviour...etc. anywhere, i will listen to him/her if i think i am wrong or have space to improve more ... as a conclusion, they have their way of life. hopefully, ALL exist in harmony.

today morning, my friends and i were attending the seminar in LT1 , some contexts of lecture were actually quite boring, my friends started to chatting, kidding, passing this and that, taking photo, drawing ...etc. for me, they are offending lecturer who was trying his best to present what he hoped to be exposed to us in the best way. anywhere, it is past story. compared to the other student there, they seem a bit childish and poor in the aspect of 'respect'. i think, if i am bored of the lecture, i may sleep, draw or think other things, but not to kidding in 'group', u know, really too obvious la. being friend, i showed my unpleasant face to Jet, i just want them to know they were doing something quite 'extreme' at that situation. ok, this topic_off.
