Today, as the end of this semester

Today, we all wear formal shirts to take class photos with lecturers. It is the first time i wear tie... ^_^''' We all quite enjoyed the whole process la. A lot of poses we had... The show starts...







It was quite enjoyable. ^_^
Anywhere, we heard more about the scores (not all, just those who got A) we got today for our subjects... quite worrisome. And, actually, i don't agree and not even satisfied much with the "marking criteria" of my lecturers.

I do not know how... but they left the dilemma of choosing to submit on time or to produce something high quality finally. Some lecturers "commanded" us to submit our works by a due date, yet it actually doesn't matter as long as you produce something seems nice. It hence becomes very unfair to those who put effort to produce something in time. Maybe, i "compare" too much; maybe, i am a bit too "calculative" at the aspect of "marks", for this, i can admit a bit. But, i am pointing out the truth, that we should keep our concsiousness what is true and what makes one pleased. We should not put aside our rationality in this world that i found a lot of things are just so fake! Anyhow, marks that we scored do "respond" to our future (especially in the eyes of stupid fellows), It is just "a result of reality" which is very regrettable.

I am here to encourage my friends, don worry too much, as long as you have done your best, and you do what should be done, and you are going the right track. An advice from Mr.Chia (my lecturer last semester), "high marks of result doesn't mean you will be a good architect." Thank you for him, for this "light of leading" to guide the life. Besides, i do believe that architecture (and actually can be about the same with other course) is a progressive process, not a so-called brilliant result. For this sentence, i should ellaborate more to gain persuading power, but for this moment, i would like to let the ellaboration to be blank, so that you may THINK of what i am talking about. ^_^

Cheers. Overall, today is a nice day, a funny day, and a day strengthen my belief ^_^ .

The war begins...



From far, i see the smoke darkening more the cloudy day...
The sea wave made the uncertaincy of the approaching boat...
We, on the boat, were also feeling the uncertaincy of the unpredictable result. We were not balanced...
The beach seems nearer...
It's time. It's time to get ready... for battle.

Sparkling...

"THEY'RE BOTH CONVINCED
that a sudden passion joined them.
Such certainty is beautiful,
but uncertainty is more beautiful still.

Since they'd never met before, they're sure
that there'd been nothing between them.
But what's the word from the streets, staircases, hallways;
perhaps they've passed each other a million times?
I want to ask them
if they don't remember;
a moment face to face
in some revolving door?
perhaps a "sorry" muttered in a crowd?
a curt "wrong number" caught in the receiver?
but I know the answer.
No, they don't remember
They'd be amazed to hear
that Chance has been toying with them
now for years.
Not quite ready yet
to become their Destiny,
it pushed them close, drove them apart,
it barred their path,
stifling a laugh,
and then leaped aside.
There were signs and signals,
even if they couldn't read them yet.
Perhaps three years ago
or just last Tuesday
a certain leaf fluttered
from one shoulder to another?
Something was dropped and then picked up.
Who knows, maybe the ball that vanished
into childhood's thicket?
There were doorknobs and doorbells
where one touch had covered another beforehand.
Suitcases checked and standing side by side.
One night, perhaps, the same dream,
grown hazy by morning.
Every beginning
is only a sequel, after all,
and the book of events
is always open halfway through. "

How you think about this? Hmm...

Practicality & theory

What is the thing in universe that can move with the fastest speed?
...
(I think all the first answers are about scientific nouns)

Sitting in front of this monitor, i am online as usual, just doing something like repetition. Suddenly, dejavu interrupt the "circuit" in my brain. Eh, i was doing the same thing in the past like exactly what i am doing now. So, i found the answer for the qestion above. Time moves the fastest.

"Soon", i will reach the time to decide where i want to continue my studies, Australia, or UK? Since last year, i have been interested to study in Europe. Due to the consideration on economical consumption and the different running academic programmes in Europe, i unconsciously "decided" to study in Australia. Now, this "dicision" seems to be cancelled soon... Yet, not sure about this.

The situation that drop me into hesitation is the aspect of practicality and theory. Between practicality and theory, which i want to choose, which is my way. Can i find a balance in between? For me, too much studying on theory conveying in design is terrible, because i don't want to talk a lot, but design some building that talk a lot themselves. Yet, too much studying in practicality may be also very bad, i don't want to be a draftman, a model maker or whoever, but the architect. Is there any good "destination" for me to find the balance in between? In order to interpret university as "destination", i would rather say a stop along the road.

I want to choose a correct road, with a "comfortable" stop that is able to let me rest in shade, stop to see more, continue my journey with confidence and "the light of guidance" .

thEbUtTerFLyEffEcT

Just now doing autocad and online as well, online becomes a must when my pc is "activated"...

Online msn messenger, i saw jet's nickname -- "Jet - when the butterfly lose its wing..."

When the butterfly lose its wings, ...
What is your first thought?
Some may think it lost its pretty.
Some may say it lost its colors.
I say it need more love and cares.

Wall

In front of me, are walls.
A lot of walls, with different level planes, different texture surfaces, different approaching points...

Every walls are facing to me, and being located in very close distance to each other.
I couldn't see the background behind. Is it colorful?

Now, in front of me, is a very high wall. A very smooth and flush opaque wall in absolute white color. It is blocking my view. I look on it, from the bottom to the top. The top line of the wall is too high. Looking at the top, as if the wall is slanting towards me. It seems like falling onto my head.

Should i keep my position there and move forward with the conciousness that the wall is actually standing rigidly and perpendicularly? Can i make sure my way is correct passing by all the walls to my final destination? Is the path indicated? Isn't the path winding through all the wall, right or left?

Or should i withdraw myself to a distant "safety" that i can see more from further aside by concluding the overall arrangement in sight?

What is the next? Maybe the next wall i encounter with is a tansparent glass partition wall. Will it be easier for me to go on my way? A panel of glass, enable me to see through what was hint behind, the reflection of myself as well as the refraction of thing behind into false illusion. Ohh...

LC... life's "chaotic"



Anywhere, LG... life's good
