Hello! I miss SABD lecture series so much! Hmmm when is the next lecture series? Okay, let me share with you something about the lecture. I saved the blog post as a draft in Windows Liver Writer and I leave it until now. So here's what I typed after attending the SABD Lecture Series in last year...
"Today, I went to the SABD Lecture Series at LT12. It’s about the X-field: Cross disciplinary practice. Well, it is not a compulsory attendance. My curiosity towards the cross disciplinary brought me there.
So, there’s not much people attended the lecture, probably because it was conducted during lunch hour but it was short and understandable. Basically, the invited speaker presented the projects by RMIT students and lecturers. I was fascinated by her interest in taking photographs of mops and collecting the oranges around the world.
What I remembered the most during her lecture was she said that we must do observation such as the movement of people, the lights, the shadow of wind, etc, rather reading tons of books.
She also encouraged us to join talk, discussion, so that we can interact and find out more about Architecture. All the memories had been brought up to my mind when she was showing the collections of Ephemeral Architecture like miniature arts.
She introduced a little bit about landscape architecture. And so, she showed us some aerial photographs and told us that the architects walked 100 miles to do site analysis, sketch the pics, build the house that adapts the environment. the shadows of the trees fall on the wall of the building during the dawn or dusk. She also talked about political architecture, like what makes you to decide designing the structure."
What's the name of the lecturer ? I remembered that she's a lecturer from RMIT. Do you know "her"?
Pls tell me if you do so.
I'll be back.

Holidays are coming to an end...
Time flies.
In the twinkling of an eye, holidays are coming to an end.
I would share with you a bit of my trip to Tasik Perdana, KL.
I could vividly remember that it was a sunny day.
Yup, a good weather to go for a trip.
It's an eye-opening trip for me.
Travelling helps me open my mind and adopt a new perspective.
It has been almost a year since the trip actually.
I started to pay attention to details, pattern, texture, ...
therapeutic
All in all, a pretty good trip.
That's all for now
I shall sleep, like a boss tonight.
Good night.
:)

Google Sketchup
I got Google Sketchup installed on my laptop some time ago. I was interested in trying Google Sketchup. Finally, I got the chance to try it out. So here's the simple 3D visualization I did just for fun :)
The house model very a basic one...not according to any rules. Please don't follow aiiks...what a bad example >< . Next time, I'll show a better one. So yeah, I would like to learn more about Google Sketchup so shall I start practicing the mouse skills so that I can catch a mouse? I need to estimate completion time accurately. More shortcut keys should be learned to make our life easier in doing architectural modelling. There's also quite a number of tutorial videos on the web. Overall, Google Sketchup is fun and user-friendly. Quick and easy ketchup. Opps! Google sketchup sounds like ketchup. Hmm, the person who named must have been eating a lot of ketchup. XD
Okay, enough is enough.
Coming up next: Blender VS Google Sketchup VS CAD VS Rhino VS Vray VS Indigo. Which one will win. By the way, I'm reading a forum http://blenderartists.org/forum/archive/index.php/t-205360.html. I like this quote "...just hate when things like this degenerate into "A must be used for this, B must be used for this, A is better than B, B is better than A, etc.". I think the best judge of what a program can do is to take a look in its user gallery or see how it integrates in other artists' workflow. I like modeling my windows in Blender for the most part because I'm a bit OCD when it comes to keeping my mesh sparkly clean. That said, I'm also guilty of hacking out quick study models in SketchUp (even though I barely know how to use it, hard to be interested in it). I've also seen very clean models done in SketchUp that are a breeze to work with, so that's why I find it very hard to say what is best. I'd rather stress good modeling practice and discipline, as those can be applied to either or :P"
I'll be back...to be continued......

Snail
Hello! Hello! Hello! I can't believe it's mid March already. I'm having enjoyable holidays. But, I feel like my muscles are weakening so time for me to get my butt off and start running again!
I promised myself to be strong. So, I went out for a walk.
Yes, it's fun to talk a walk in the early morning.
Look! what I found during that time!
It's a snail.Sails are slow but they have strong muscle as a result of steady movement.
I like the natural colour of the shell. Look at the unique texture of the shell. Wonderful! It looks good, doesn't it?
p/s 1: How's new logo for my photo signature?
p/s 2: Actually, this photo was taken for quite some time ago during first of October last year. HAHA!
That's all for now.
Take care.
