3rd Video Shooting :)

我不是一个专业的演员，也不是一个上镜的美少女，却往往有这个福分，参与朋友的Video Shooting. =) 毕竟这也是个特别的人生经历，不妨一试呀。而这次是第三次参与摄影了！！！

要看“第一次参与video shooting” 的按这里 =)

第一次摄影是Tarc朋友准备参与比赛的作品，在Putrajaya，做跑龙套罢了。隔壁那个帅哥，是男主角。=P

要看“第二次参与video shooting"的按这里 =D

第二次的摄影也是为同一帮朋友的assignment而参与的，这次我是主角了，在Tasik Titiwangsa。哈哈哈，可是没有照片咯。演的是短片，关于友情。

往往只有放假才有这种机会参与这类的活动啊。图一里，站在我隔壁的帅哥在机缘巧合之下，首次邀约我....帮他补镜头。-.- 而且，是很临时的商讨和决定，一切来得好突然。

星期二放工后，就三步并作两步地与他会合，着装出发到Cheras拍摄。

裙子是临时Kenneth 找来的。背景很漂亮有没有？=) 

可以看到半个吉隆坡的夜景阿。

这次只是担任替身。新的经历！哈哈，跑龙套，主角，替身一一试尽了！可是动作却富有挑战性了呀。要牵手，要拥抱，要借位接吻，要跳舞，要带感情，要有默契... 而对手就是他。还是战战兢兢地，毕竟第一次有那么丰富的对手戏，不过还是摒着紧张的气息完成了拍摄。越来越敬业了。XDDD

那天的拍摄从傍晚7点到晚上9点多,幸好他包交通包伙食。XP 而且很荣幸地结识多一位来自Help的摄影好手。无论如何，这怎么说都是个与众不同的经历，一个学习的好机会，毕竟不是每个人在一生中都会经历的。

趁年轻，趁遇到尝试的机会，就去吧。人生没有Take Two. :D 

四天三夜的Langkawi之 女孩与海。

自从Langkawi 回来，就不自觉爱上了大海。爱上它的宽广，好像包容着世间万物的喜怒哀乐；爱上它的无际，仿佛放任放纵的自由自在与奔放；爱上它莫名其妙的规律，就如无法预测的未来和过去。

无论世间上发生了什么事，潮起潮落一样会发生，从来不为任何一个人停止那海浪的韵律。这就是海，大方，放纵，包容，自由，热情。

Frangipani Resort的海滩。

真的好美好美，无法忘怀。

好迟，隔了一个多月，从墨尔本回来了，才开始写我的langkawi trip. 那四天超颓废，或许是方完成自认人生中最难的关卡disaster shelter, 所以很放纵自己。每晚迟睡，夜归，喝酒。哈哈，尽情吃喝玩乐。

自认自己很怕水，可是却喜欢游泳，却喜欢大海，因为，它不像湖泊的宁静，大海，很刺激。

每天的行程结束后，我们都到海边玩到天黑才依依不舍地回去洗澡吃晚餐。虽然大家的年纪都不小了，可是却能玩得像小孩子般幼稚无聊，哈哈！无可否认，一趟旅程回来，大家的感情都变深厚了。

我的帮。我们拥有很多灿烂的笑容和无聊的话题。傻傻地。

无论何时何刻，我们都会因为莫名的原因大笑，而吓坏了老师。呵呵。

我记得，从这个瞭望台看出去的风景，美得非笔墨能形容。

我们那天的回忆，也是好玩得无法忘怀。

我很享受和大家一起努力熬夜，一起赶功课，再吃喝玩乐的感觉。

充实得很幸福。我们都不完美，经常有摩擦有埋怨，可是在一起的bond就是不一样。

好玩的因子在不肯长大的我们心里隐隐作祟。

我说，我怕坐飞机。然后就有两个姐姐照顾我。

疯狂地在飞机上自拍哈哈。

那几天，我喝了好多咸咸的海水。夕阳西下的跳跃，不代表青春进入结束的句点，或许在对我们说，年轻有终点，要好好珍惜年少时光的热血？

我们总是不及形象地玩。

或许是彼此都知道，被现实打压后我们再也遇到这么棒的朋友，做这种疯狂的事。

或许大家都知道，我们只有三年。

我是唯一的女将。大家都很照顾我。掉进水里，也拼了命地扶我起来。

很多情况都顾虑到我，谢谢这群男生们。

人生第一次的香蕉船，在只是近黄昏的情况下，写下漂亮的痕迹。

我们不是真正的家人，可是大家有饭吃饭，有粥吃粥。

很喜欢在吃饭的时候，听大家哈拉无聊的废话，

有时候吃饭时，没有先豪的声音，怪不自在的。

那四天三夜里，大家的笑容都好灿烂。

快乐的时间总是过得那么快呀。

有时候，我们可以发现，什么时候的笑容是真的，不伪装。

喜欢和大家拍照，日后老了的回忆也一定比别人丰富多姿。

年轻不热血就是浪费！

班级照。哈哈。是很棒的回忆之一。

跳跃的意思是，我们年轻，我们young!

总是在不同地方jump shot, 哈哈！

那一晚，我们整班人一起喝贵酒。

第一次被灌醉。-.-"

我记得第二天，大家的样子都很残，吐的吐，晕的晕。

这张跳过caption. -.-

我们累积了很多love字的照片。总有一天，我会全部放上网。:)

L,O,V,E, 少了一个，都成不了love.

我最爱的你们。

谢谢你们一直以来的扶持，帮助，忍耐，包容，我知道我的脾气不好，又模模糊糊。日后的日子一起加油吧。:) 

4天3夜里，何止经历了这么多。喜怒哀乐，一篇部落格是写不完的。大家的脑海里铭记着与众不同的点点滴滴，日后成了我们大了缅怀的一部分...我们从不同的地方，生活背景长大，却在这3年里必须在同一个空间互相学习和拼搏，是一种特别的缘分，一种其他大学生无法感受的缘分。我很珍惜，真的。 

Project 3: Artist Retreat.

Final Project of AR Y1S2: Artist Retreat

Duration: 4 weeks

Aim: To create a retreat house based on the characteristics of the artist chosen & fit the site condition. 

 After Langkawi trip, we made a site analysis board, our site is site 1, Pantai Chesahim.There is a slope behind and facing the beach. The problem faced is, our site is lower than ground level, therefore rubbish will be blown into the site.

Next, we create a site model to get more familiar with the sitee. Materials used: styrofoam, tissue paper, white glue and poster colours. 

Making trees is another challenging task hehe! Everything just need few days to be done, as the tissue paper with water need few day to be dried and uhhmmm, I got difficulties on cutting the styrofoam...

Next, we chose the artist and made an artist research about them. Mine is a Chinese Painter aka Calligrapher, Zhang Da Qian. I purposely chose a different artist since everyone was choosing celebrities, afraid of crashing concept and design elements. 

Then, we started the endless study model making hmm. My first mock up: But proportionally wrongggggggg! 

My second mock up: in fact I got a strength of creating the space in an unique way. That was what all lecturers said. They asked me to emphasize on the space arranging and dividing.

 My third mock up: I was asked to make funny shapes on my roofs, so I decided to make them curve upwards to show dynamic movements. And yeaa, we had a presentation session and was delighted to hear that, I was almost there.

 My final mock up: Intended to make this as final, but the craftmenship changed my mind HAHA. As I was rushing to make it out, I know I slacked a lot during the 4 days Raya Holiday Hmmm.

This was approved by Leong. But Tsao suggested me to add on the architectural languages..Which is what I blurr about. As it needs more details and craftmenship should be very perfect.




And 1 day before presentation, I had only successfully made the mode out. HAHAHA

Die sial. My girls had done theirs few days ago and I had only done it 1 day before presentation. Super last minute weihh. But my design is really quite complicated and my site has slope..It had difficulties yet provided more space for creative development.

And my model with my site model! 

Ohya, my concept is CONTRADICTION, as it shows the concept on roofs.

The staircase, I like to make stairs, hahahhaa, so funnnn! -.-

Left elevation of the retreat house. 

Roof plan. HOHOHO.

Purposely used brown boards and white model boards to emphasize the contradictory feeling uhhmmmm. ;) 

But still, less languages added. 

My super last minute presentation boards. 

Sunday 2pm I finished my model making. Then I drew 8 pieces of details drawing until 2am. Then only started to do this board and I managed to complete this board at 4am. 

Didnt even think of sleeping siaalll. 

Time duration was 4am to 530am. HAHA! I told right, the 8 pieces of drawings, 3 plan and 2 sections and 2 elevations. Luckily and fortunately, my model isnt that right angle and everything curves, so even if my drawing accurate or not, it is not easily seen as well. HOHOHO. 

U dunno, how many draft I have made before starting every drawings. At least 10 drafts made. Crazy like seriouslyyy. I tried to take photo and traced, but everything just seemed so not right and proportional. 

Presentation session: 

 My look with only 30 minutes of sleeping. HAHA! 

I got the lucky number 1 to present and the lecturer was Ar Liaw. OMG. He criticised mainly for space dividing, and building science and I ignored the rain condition part. Hmmmm. But every lecturers were very critical to the whole class project. So scary momentssss. 

but overall mine considered a good job, so I was really relieved. Teeeeheee, sense of achievement! 

Usually after each presentation, I will ask them out for a meal or an outing. But seriously exhausted for this time. Everyone response like, go back and sleep la of course! After lunch, I slept until night only returned home and continue sleeping. And my eyes after that were bengkak like after crying. ommo. 

Projects are getting complicated and more soon...But nevermind, sem 3 is a long long rest! HEHE! :) 

Project 2: Disaster Shelter

AR Sem 2 Project 2 : Disaster Shelter

Duration: 3 weeks

Title: 

Create a shelter that fits human ergonomics, withstand weather, support human weight and self structure.

Obj: 

To observe characteristics of different materials

To learn to use various kinds of equipment and machines

To learn human ergonomics

Before everything has started, lecturer showed us the slides of disaster shelters and basic concepts of human ergonomics. And next, we had a little short session of measuring our body height, and everything. 

Then, proceeded to the idea development. My initial idea was ENCIRCLE, image formed like a poke ball, which is shown at the following pictures: 

This was seriously a good ideaa, very differ from all classmatess, though the inspiration came from classmate's 1st project sculpture. I had even made measurement and every preparation for it. Bought aluminium strips, adhesive glues, bolts and nuts and else. 

And then, the problem came. Aluminium strips was too soft to support my shelter! I even thought of using cane and rattan instead, but the price of the raw materials is seriously..unaffordable. 

Therefore, I changed my initial concept of a sphere shelter into a hemisphere. 

Within the period of concept development, we done research for existing disaster shelter. And this was my last minute board. Tsk tsk tsk. 

Sketching using water colours. Hmmm

The uniqueness of the shelter is the shelter is done without any nails and bolts. 

It is like a 3D puzzle to be set up easilyyy. 

Lecturer asked us to do research after the idea development for a reason: which is not influenced by existing shelters so that we can design the shelters creatively. 

The period of working was the toughest weeks. 2 weeks to work on it. Since I have mentioned that the strips are not able to support my model, I gonna think of changing lot of materials and experiments, this spent a lot of timeee. And at the end, Neal suggested me a way of doing the reinforce structure and design a jointing for the reinforcement metal. 

And indeed I spent a lot of time to search for the right materials, the harder metal rod that can be bent, yet strong to withstant the self structuree. Toughest project toughest moment toughest weeks. I couldnt sleep well and eat well, everyday thinking of the shelter. 

FYI, my main materials is aluminium and metals, therefore the timber workshop cannot be used and instead I had to use the campus mechanical workshop. Everyday carrying bunch of stuffs from and to the studio and mechanical workshop, losing weight like seriously. Some tasks which cannot be done alone, I managed to seek assistance from my Mao and Bear whee. 

Few days before the presentation, I got stressed up like seriously and everyday stay up late to complete the works. Besides rivetting, and screwing the bolts and nuts, I gotta do sewing the canvas to be the covering of the shelter as well. Luckily Aisha lent us her sewing machine.

And thanks to herrr. My first time ever sewing contributed to this project. 

     

1 night before presentation. 

I completed my work at 11pm and I gonna rush home for presentation boards. 

/.\

First project that stressed me up like emoing everyday. Worried whether the structure will collapse during midnight, it can support my weight or not, the canvas will torn off or not, what happen if it rains and everything...

My presentation board. If not mistaken I finished it at 330am. HOHOHO. 

Presentation session: 

It was another stressful session. Mr Tan was invited to crit our presentation. He asked sharp questionss and even claimed that some classmates had failed in the aspects of structure and ergonomics. Perhaps perhaps, I was the middle in the list, so the lecturer was bored and he did not ask too much sharp questions. 

Or maybe, my own design jointing helped me in my marks. :D Thanks to Neal. 

Afterall, I score A- for this project. Thanks a lot to Mr Ho, who taught me so much about the materials...At the very last minute, he suggested me to add in another reinforcement bars and timbers to support the structures. It spent me a few days to complete and I was damn nervous as that was the last few days before the presentation. 

I had learnt so much in this project besides this toughen me so much...Fortunately there will not be such back breaking task after this... 

I believed I can so I can. What about u?
