又畢業了

新的里程碑。我要用文字記錄那一刻。

向來覺得大學畢業典禮是人生大事，尤其這科系讀得他媽的辛苦挫折虐待人。所以到了這一天，有點不可置信難以言喻的興奮。

早在畢業半年前，我就嚷嚷雞雞敏和天空要出席我的畢業典禮，雞雞敏也毫不客氣地跟我念她是千里迢迢幾經波折來看我畢業。還有朝子，算準她在這段時間會在大馬，很希望有他們在。

巴木：“今天你是主角，我們來侍奉你啦。” 

當天我就像待嫁的閨女般無所適從，行程很趕東西很多天氣很熱，她們就幫我提著大大小小的物品東走西走。要不是因為對電腦太多眼睛幹，眼淚早就嘩啦流下。哈。

趁著入場前，她們就在陪我緊張。直至最後一刻，天空終於趕來了。曉得他最近發生很多小插曲，盼望我的畢業給他沾染一些喜氣。

很開心。印像中的人人人人人人人人人人人人人人人人人人人人人人人人人人人人人人人人人人人人人人人人人人人人人人人人人人人人人人人人人人人人人人人人人人人人人人人人人人人人人人人人人人人人人人人人人人人人人人人人人人人人人人人人人人人人人人都是嘻嘻哈哈的，還有很有趣的徵友大字報，氣球，鮮花，娃娃，歡笑。

和大學朋友會合後，又是另一陣自拍潮。堯漢用了華威，大家都很迫不及待地把自己的笑容充斥在他8gb有限的記憶卡裡。sengseng就排在我的下一個，艾莎和堯漢與我一步之隔，而國銨排在超後面，湊在一起聊天有難度的。

童鞋們都很期待上台拿轴卷，在等待自己名字被叫到時，一如既往取笑別人的名字和畢業感言。

SengSeng,"buy me a piece of land and i will show u architecture." 

KokOnn, "three years for a handshake and a piece of paper."

高跟鞋很拗腳，步行起來顯得我的不安忐忑，舉手投足都很束縛，我都在跟身邊的人說，我在做一天的格格。台上那50米多怕自己走路扑街了。

儀式結束後，就和大夥拍照了，丟四方帽，跳躍都是必備姿勢。老師心情好愉悅，大家也都笑得合不攏嘴，把這12小時重複過多一次也甘願。

暮然回首，大學四年光陰白駒過隙，又是一段想抓住卻不斷流失的過往。我還記得第一天踏入大學校園的那一天，一眨眼就是畢業典禮離開校園的那一幕。希望時間不會淡忘我們這三年的瘋狂。

我班不大，可是我們很融洽，三年來革命情感作祟大家都，一起吃了很多蛇。這份默契，是值得紀念的。

這段路還很漫長，只是開始而已，當年我們抱著夢想選擇這科系，隨著成長和現實更了解了這一行；沒有理想的事業，只能用理想天馬行空自己的前程。我不貪圖榮華富貴，只想繼續行腳天下，用這三年學到的，繼續看這個世界。

" I will go on my way anyway. Thanks. "

希望當年的志願不會是我另一份夢想的絆腳石，而是助力，我要掙脫眼前最大的，束縛。

Bukit Tinggi + Gohtong Jaya 之送軍行；

Hang是我在班上的好朋友，好到什麼程度？就在班旅時，我和艾莎跟他同房了7夜。前提，我們都很冰清玉潔的。咯。

在上個月初，他毅然決然放棄了誘人的打工生涯，剃度當兵了。哈哈哈哈。無論如何，送他與否我們都很喜歡到他的老家渡假。所以，一連兩個月，我們就下榻了兩次。

渡假也得很fashion. 

他住雲頂半山。是很僻靜清幽的所在，卻有很多當地人才知道的好玩之處。第一次拜訪時我們進行了迷你燒烤會，而第二次我們就很澎湃地買了好多料吃火鍋。回憶起來，食物的味道鮮度乏善可陳，可是大家吃得是團聚的味道，好開心。

Hang家的陽台很大，隨著當地的氣候比較清爽，所以晚上呆在外頭都能感受絲絲寒意。不過當時雨季，我們把東西搬進搬出了兩三次，還燒壞了一隻拖鞋，哈哈哈。由於以往老師很好客，我們班很常有bbq的活動, 卻從來都玩不膩。

啊，我突然想起夕陽下的奔跑和逝去的青春呢。

啤酒加培根加芝士加蘑菇=Heavily breathing. 

為了送Hang上路當兵去，我們還大清早浩浩蕩蕩地跑去買了好多海鮮食材，他也興致勃勃地特意下來帶我們買菜，熬了幾個小時的湯底。這次吃得超撐。中途休場時，大家還跑到遊樂場去哈拉鬆鬆筋骨。

顧名思義的渡假，絕大多數的時間我們都是死賴在房裡睡覺聊天。當然，Hang也盡了地頭蛇的責任帶我們去走走咯。

就例如說，泡溫泉。我也忘了要怎麼在waze上搜索該處，畢竟人肉gps早早取代了網路地圖的功能。它是個公眾地方，不用付費，強烈建議你在早晨天剛亮之前或黃昏曉時去泡，不然會被曬死。不要泡太久哦。哈哈哈。不過更衣室的衛生條件有待加強。

我們這群年輕人都很喜歡泡溫泉，尤其是小妹我。

因為我只想當個安靜的美少女啊。

Hang也帶我們到附近村落的河邊戲水。這些地方都很非主流，人煙稀少，水流不強，河床也很淺，整個地盤都是我們的伸展台。即使烈日當空，大樹綠葉的庇蔭下都遮住了猛烈的陽光。我們是大自然的小孩兒啊。

可是可是，我不記得哪裡打哪裡啦。

我們也誤打誤撞到了人家的後院，仔細被盤查後才恍然屋主是作者兼建築師，侃侃而談他整個後院和房子的設計理念和生平事蹟。他還突然很大方地讓我們進去參觀了一番。

嗯，如果你何曾留意我的instagram, 我放了很多後院的Landscape照片，很，道地。因為那藝術家不是很喜歡有人無意探訪，所以我也很拽地不透露地方詳情了，仔細打量琢磨唄。

印象最深刻的就是，我全身上下都被咬了很多很多很多很多蚊子包。本地很多近代建築喜歡親近熱帶自然，花花草草，水林叢木，還有蚊子蚊子蚊子蚊子蚊子蚊子蚊子蚊子蚊子蚊子蚊子蚊子蚊子蚊子。

當然說到Bukit Tinggi, 其中的紫藤茶坊更不能錯過了，它的茶坊與一個建築精巧的大禮堂相近，基本材料是竹子和玻璃落地窗，是個辦婚禮浪漫的好地方。說到喝茶吹水的好去處，我們都往往到Bukit Tinggi警察局對面的茶餐室吹水，主要推薦是它的Milo kopi冰。噗，我餓了。

更不能忘了一提是，最好玩的是因為好童鞋們都在呀。還有很多莫名其妙的共同回憶，如：半夜聊是非八卦到凌晨四點，吃那個好吃難吃一線之間的那個什麼糖果，看男生下廚女生等吃，趴在床上看電影賴床睡睡睡和吃吃吃。

吃喝玩樂人生行樂呀！

下半年為了存錢，旅行的次數很短暫，也只留在本土罷了。可是無數個兩天一夜卻早就了長時間的期盼和快樂。很解壓的說。

因為是很珍惜的好童鞋，每每週末都會互相通話嘲弄一番。要找一個可以從頭罵粗口罵到底都不會生氣卻只會爆笑的朋友，很難得。對了，他說他現在是個肥炭。

就讓我們繼續耐心等待Hang的歸來，繼續聊人家長短唄。

MIFF Furniture Design Workshop 2013

Photo credits to its own FB group.

Have just attended this design workshop with AuYong. (Y)

Thanks AuYong for introducing me in!

MIFF Furniture Design Competition is an annual design competition. And guess what, design furniture lor,  LOL. AuYong jio-ed me to this competition and I did. Since I could be able to produce the disaster shelter myself, sketchings for this furniture should not be a big problem perhaps???? I need confidence! Hmmm we both attended the design workshop for briefing together today at Seri Pacific Hotel. 

U guys can just google search for more details. Hmm, but not sure whether they are still accepting any entries  as we were joining very last minute too. Hmmm. We are joining Young Talent Student Group, registration fee was RM50. Few talks + 2 meals of buffet. (Y)

My pucat look today. XD 

The mc was really awesome pretty. HAHA. The talks were beneficial as well, hmmm. We grabbed some catalogues about materials. Teehee. And so now I know, furniture design is quite a prospective career. Another field for consideration IF I manage to get any achievement on this. 

Last but not least! 

Absolute Chocolate!

Gotcha after groaning for so long!!!! 

Wheee :P 

Luckily I am in short sem, which will get some free time to complete the portfolio within 14 days! 

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?
