Project BackUp

2011-06-20T01:11:00.000+01:00

Since I'd spent some time on Lightroom3, it is time to consider what should I do with my hard drives. I'm thinking of reorganizing a complete backup system to some of my favorite and can't lost files, like my photos and architecture things.

hard drives and computers I currently possessed:

1)iMac, 200Gb

2)Dell, 500Gb

3)My Book, 1Tb

4)Western Digital, 500Gb

5)dropbox, 9Gb + 3Gb + 2GB + 2Gb

Here's the plan:

1Tb MyBook will be my main active storage as it is now, as media, photos and works storage. 500Gb Westren Digital will be my backup for photos, and digital valuables. Dropbox synchronizing the current works before it is archived into my WD.

Sounds like a plan.

Objective

2011-06-13T14:45:00.000+01:00

Why plan if don't have an objective?
What do you want to accomplish in the end of the plan? All the plans should point to the sole ultimate objective.

What are your weaknesses and your weakest point? The breaking point is always the weakest point. So why not put 150% effort on the weakest point. Then the rest will be OK, as long as there is no vulnerable spot.

What is a master degree to do with? It should load you with the ability or something others don't have. It is the spark which separates you from others.

Thanks to my best consultant, SHPOH

New Job!

2010-11-23T01:13:00.000Z

Got a new job, again..
should I happy or should I not?
Well, what's my purpose or why am I here at Dundee? Easy and clear, to pursue architecture. However, can this work help me to gain some positive skills in the future? If no, why should I work like a cow? Just for the sake of living? Or to support my entertainment expenses?

I'm now working on Saturdays and Sundays at Metthew's Food, a chinese supermarket. Since fired by Canton House, I quitted my horrible 4 days-in-a-week-work routine, and started free up my time for study. However, as I have more free time, the more relax my life is. Relax here means doing meaningless time wasting deeds, like watching old times movie or day dreaming. I loved to work at Canton House, love the boss, love the food, however, I can't really perform well there. Always did stupid mistakes. The most classic act: Customer ordered beef curry, I knew it was beef curry in my head, my hand simultaneously wrote '加介'(Chicken curry in Cantonese), and my mouth shouted in Cantonese 'beef curry'. When staffs back in the kitchen herd my shout and cooked it immediately. Then, they checked on the order list, it was written 'chicken curry' and the whole crew got confused. I myself can't remember what was the order even if the order was 5 minutes ago. This short memories and my ear-hand-mouth dis-coordinate syndrome always make them haywire. The business went down hill that time, and all the frustration hit hard on my shoulder. They have no choice but to fire me. I felt really bad if I'd ruined their business, and wanted to quite long time ago. Finally the day came and I just got fired! after a clear mistake made.

Now ended up in another chinese take away. 功夫楼。 They serve very authentic szechuan dishes, and loved it since my first try half year ago. The business wasn't that good, the turnover is still 0 at the moment. Partly because of the bad location, not strategic at all, no parking place, next to a busy traffic junction. I need money! I omit that I quite like the work environment there, very relax, no stress at all, unlike Canton House. Though the pay is not high, just £4.5/Hour. (£5.95 at Metthew's Food).

Just go for it, work hard, study hard!!!! STUDY HARD! just need to be more more more discipline.

Analysing Architecture

2009-02-26T16:23:00.002Z

This is one of my favorite lecture, today talk about parallel wall.

well, why most of the wall are parallel? but not in weird curves of miserable angles?

Firstly, cost efficient, easy to design, easy to build, especially the roof.

parallel walls gives you the transition feeling of a space to another, like hallway;

create focus, think of the high parallel gothic church wall and the alter at the other end;

repeatable, think of terrace houses.

Simon bet that us as young aspiring architects will rebel this old fashion thoughts, design some weird forms and spaces. Of course, parallel wall can be interesting too, all depends on how you use it.

One point struck my mind and make me change my idea of parallel wall. Parallel wall in architecture = scale in music. How true is this! For so many years I have been practicing scales on trumpet, cause I know that it's the basic of mastering trumpet. So should I as an architect. Smart composers play with scales, ascends and descends throughout the staff, with interesting variations, and some colours in between the scales..

Celebrating the Arrival of 2nd Parcel !

2009-01-13T19:15:00.004Z

Yay, so happy to get something from Malaysia!

It just took nearly 10 weeks to ship by sea to reach me and was dated 14 Nov 2008 when sent. For this parcel, I can't find any stamp, not like the previous one, which I kept the stamp, just a statement noted RM116.60.

A question come to me: Is it worthy to send something which cost extra RM100(for the posting fee) even if most of the things can get here? What is the minimum price of goods sent for it to be worthwhile?

The postal price is slightly>RM100( just 20GBP). Considering the price of goods at UK, I can say the average goods at UK is about 3 to 4 times more expensive than Malaysia. A proper meal, 3.5GBP≈RM20. Perhaps you can't get this low price in other big city.

Say an item, a shirt, I can get it for RM50 in Malaysia, but RM150 in UK { 3X (minimum) more expensive in UK}, so I save RM100 if send from Malaysia.

SO, the access of RM100 postal cost is compensated if the goods cost RM50 in Malaysia.

Means, economically, it is only worth to send a parcel if the goods are RM50 n above in Msia.

However, a lot of things I can't get in this particular small town, or I should call it kampung if compare to the big city of other University, like Glasgow,and Manchester. There is no ASDA(like Tesco, but cheaper) here, not even a single Japanese restaurant, less variety of raw foods, and many are 'seasonal'; for instance this week there is pineapple, but the next week no.

Anyway, I like this small and humble city! Surprisingly, University of Dundee has many 'number one' rank in Scotland. The Architecture School is even the top 5 in UK(1st in Scotland of course), after Cardiff, Cambridge, Bath, and UCL. One of our professor is even an ex-lecture from Cardiff.

Final Crit

2008-12-09T04:23:00.006Z

Great, it's all over!

I had my final crit(critics) on monday, but I have been working last minute work non stop since Thursday morning 7am. This is to prepare for the last tutorial on Friday. The tutorial was very important, since I still can do whatever changes, if needed, for the presentation on Mon. So, I only have 4 hours, 2H on Sat, 2H on sunday sleep! it's a new personal record, sleep 4H in 103H.

I had a very stupid idea, just as what yee shuian told, to draw plans, elevations, sections MANUALLY( just with pen on paper).. I have been doing that for 2 days, but only produced virtually nothing. so stupid of not taking her advice seriously. I was thinking that maybe should draw manually on my first personal house design, as the mark of new architecture life. Then after 10 years, or 20 years, I can tell others that my first design is jz pen n paper! It's like the older generation told us that they have to write all assignments with pen, not computer, and feel very proud due to their great afford. In the end I gave up, draw on CAD instead. Much flexible, can change anything jz by clicking, no need to retrace, redraw...

I have been doing on the habitat project, to create a house for 3 inhabitants which I am free to define them myself. I created a 20-year-old uni fine art student, named Y, a melancholic, perfectionist, deep, creative, individualistic young man; a 45-year-old businessman, named T, a choleric, powerful, and rich, the main client for the house, father of Y; and a 66-year-old retired atomic physicists, M, a peaceful phlegmatic, easy-going, grandfather of Y. They are all singles, the mother divorced, the grandmother passed away. I put myself in a challenging position to meet the gap between 3 generation, and all males with very different characteristics.

Then we went to the Kenmore, the site, 2 hours from here by bus. Designs and have a interim review 3 weeks later. It was not a formal review, just to present the ideas and more to site analysis. Then another 2 weeks to the final review.

In the final review, I was the last one to present, due to my name Ziyang Poh.. so good to have a name start with Z, not P anymore. I talked swiftly throughout the presentation, the tutors were stunted by my design, my model. One of the 3 tutors was Professor Simon Unwin (go for his book, Analysis of Architect, very nice arch basic. He was the former lecture in Cardiff, the rated no.1 architecture school in UK, but now he is in Dundee!) ,gave me a weird look and said: You are very mean! What he meant was I was trying to show off, but it was good, as I have the passion in architecture. He stared a while on one piece of my work, a dimensions study, and was quite impressed. I measured and recorded all the space in my flat, all the furniture, and all the dimensions of a precedent house, Villa Stein. He said that my house was very sensible, poetic, but just too complex, over complicated! Doug, my group tutor just smile at the side, and said it was even more complex in the first review. He was glad that I toned down the complexity of spaces, eliminated a lot of stairs, and was pleased with the creation of a breakfast space as a resolve to weird angles. Then, another reviewer was 4th or 5th year student. She like my design, and particularly love the room I designed for the 20 year-old-guy, very youthful and passionate she said.

All I had was location plan, site plan, site analysis, site sections, house plans, elevations, and development drawings spread through the whole 5X5m huge wall, as well as models on the floor.

Attitude

2008-11-07T22:12:00.002Z

Woke up so early wanted to do draw the plan and section of the Kenmore, as have to review to the Doug Pearson at 10 am. I set the alarm at 5:30 every morning, to wake up my mac and I. The mac sleep every night 12 am and wake up at 5:30 am, so do I. However, when I go to school, it is shut down.

I woke up, but just can't get the steam on to get started. I am afraid to draw the plan, though what I need to do is just trace it. WHY? To be honest, I had tried to draw the plan since monday, when the task was delivered. I failed to start, with a excuse of " come on, it's just Monday and the review is on fri, still long way to go..."

Then Tue and Wed just flew off like that. Thursday night, I escaped to the band and left the homework untouched. I couldn't even bother to do it. Well, JUST TRACING!

I told myself that it would be fine, 船到橋頭自然直。Definitely I would make it, it's me.

Yeah right..

Until 10:30am friday, I still can't finish the drawing. I can't escape, I paid to study. Then suddenly I received a message from a unknown number:

Where are you guys? You should be in the review

I knew I was fucked up. It was from Doug! Immediately, I ran to studio. He was there, sitting at the middle of the table, playing with his pen. He saw me, I was so sorry to him. I knew that he was waiting for me. Without hesitation, I sat beside him and took out my things while kept saying sorry to him.

He gave me a murky smile and told me that it's alright, just no more next time. I was so ashamed.

Then the one to one tutorial went on, he gave me a lot of guidance and ideas in the site analysis. Thank you, Doug!

I realised that whatever happens, just don't give chance to be late. Take up the mask, a thick and bold mask and attend the whatever meeting/ presentation, just do it. Sometimes ideas will just overwhelm spontaneously in a stress situation. However, the best thing is to be prepared all the time.

Upload Pics on facebook

2008-11-05T09:23:00.002Z

Yeah, finally found a easy way to upload pic to facebooks. Use the iPhoto, it helps a lot. Can organise all the photos and captions in the iPhoto first, then just click import and the pictures will be uploaded.

Yeah, If anyone interested, just add me at facebook, ziyang_poh@hotmail.com.

The photos of London is in the friendster. I'll stop uploading pic to friendster, and turn to facebook, as it is more popular and better feature.

Model making

2008-10-31T08:29:00.008Z

This is a model making workshop by Keith Robson. We use strips of different colour polymer clay to produce the brick works for the model. The clay is harden after baked in oven for 15 min and will last forever.

This is my work:

Keith's works:

This is built with normal card board

The details are incredible

cardboard with clay covered

The tiles are places piece by piece after it harden in oven.

9th time fire alarm!

2008-10-30T01:34:00.005Z

Normally there will be 2 fire engines, sirening all the way from fire station to Tay Mills within 3 minutes after the fire alarm rang.

It was annoying. I decided to go CAD suit rather than wait for the fireman to check the false alarm. Picture taken on my way to school at 8pm. yeah, it goes dark at 4pm nowadays.

Life drawing first class

2008-10-29T23:58:00.003Z

This week should be the reading week, but not for architecture students.

Although the schedule is a bit loose, but activities still go on. My first life drawing class is today!

This is an enclosed class room, specially for life drawing. As an art student, whether you study fine art, product design, or even architecture, just everything related to art, you will have to do go for 3 life drawing classes for this semester. A class is 4 hours! so just enjoy!

After the introduction and demo from tutor, we choose our own spot around the podium where the nude stand and start to draw. The tutor walked around, gave advise one by one and helped us.

It's my first time to draw a naked person, but no one feel shy at all, we just treat him as an object. When we have a small break, I even joked to my friend: lets to do some sections! - means cut him into half and draw the section! Haha.. feels more like an architect to do explore sections.

After the class. Drawing stands set around the podium.

We choose one of our work and pin on wall after the class. Review from tutor.

My drawings. I produce 3 drawings on A2 size plain white paper, with charcoal. We have to prepare our own materials, including papers and mediums. Some even use water colour.

From left to right: 1st, 2nd and 3rd drawing.

First one proportion inaccurate, very rough, but I like it.

For 2nd, the best most detailed, good proportion. The best among 3.

3rd: fast sketch, head too small, legs are nice.

FIRE ALARM!!!!! it's 4am~

2008-10-26T01:15:00.004+01:00

Again, 4am, we were like freezing chicken in the fridge downstair.

I have my thick jacket on, 2 layers of long sleeves t-shirts, and a short sleeves one inside, but the cold air still penetrated through the clothing, went into my bones.

40 minutes of continuous chill, killing my nerves, until I couldn't move my legs and hands.

It was the Flat 1 1 's fire alarm, which summoned all the half sleeping souls, and to tortured them under the 8˚c freezer. The gust was taking away our body heat, left only the empty corpse on the floor.

(7th time in Tay Mills within 7 weeks)

Frustration

2008-10-25T23:46:00.003+01:00

The Internet is down again! I am really disappointed with the BT (British Telecommunication). I thought that the broadband here is extreme. Nonetheless, I waited for a month to get the line set up, waited a week for the line to be at it's optimal speed, and BREAK DOWN!

Other's still doing fine with the wireless, just my Mac, for unknown reason not functioning. It's the second day cannot connect to the internet. I realised I can't live long without internet!

Firstly I thought it was AirPort( not airport) that is faulty. The first thing to do this morning was to call the customer service. So, I registered the apple protection plan as to get the 3 years warranty, and called. The british lady on the phone can't understand my accent, wasted my time and money to give simple code to her, and in the end she hang up... what a joke. Then I did a second attempt, another british gentlemen pick up and guide me through the settings. Well, in the end he said that the IP add is right, nothing wrong with my mac, it's BT problem.

For hours, I tried to solve the broadband connection, but nothing worked out. I carried the whole desktop to the store room where the modem is to connect to the phone line. Plugged in the cable to my Mac, used the ethernet rather than the AirPort. It did work! Imagine you carry a desktop with all the wires around and set up at another place... Surprisingly, it was so much nicer to carry the iMac than normal PC. Beside the 20 inches screen, just one power supply wire, and the keyboard and mouse to carry.

Then the most annoying part came. The BT customer service phone call is so stupid. To get to the area of technical problems, I need to go through the longest series of options,(at least 10) pressing 1,2,3,4... on the phone key and finally it led my to the technician phone. Then I waited for another 10 min before I decide to hang off the phone. I can't afford to throw ££££ like this. My one month's phone budget almost gone. It was >£6 just for that single call. Wow, RM 36? without solving the problem at all!

I decide to buy a cable and don't want to trust the BT customer service again.

I was pissed off!

Matthew Building where I study

2008-10-15T22:46:00.012+01:00

The Entrance, under the blue board, entering level 5.

The Matthew building is a weird building. It has 7 floors, 4th floor is the library, 5th floor is the lecture halls, 6th floor is the studios and CAD suite, 7th floor is the office.

Everyone get lost for the first few weeks in the building, definitely. Trapped in the building, can't find the way out or the toilet. Confused and can't differentiate between the studios and corridors.

However, it's a nice piece of architecture!

This is level 5 and 6. The sunlight actually penetrating the building.( LKW, pls learn to make corridor bright and cozy)

Long spatial 5th level for displaying some artworks, along the lvl 6 narrow corridors are the studios.

Lecture Halls on the right.

Next to the space in the first picture, the long corridors extended. Studios are at the sides, lecture halls below.

The Pit, where we wait for lecture and get socialise. A bit weird of the big rubbish bin at the middle, but not smelly at all. A mindful design.

The Studio:

Long long studio!! We can just pop into any spaces as we want. It's for year 1 to year 4 students, year 5 students have their own space. We don't have individual workspace as they want to mix the students from all the years. Students used to have own space, just changed last year.

Dara, Irish group mate and also flat mate.

Spaces created by separators. Drafting tables, lockers, electric plugs, tables and chairs are everywhere. someone even bring in microwave and kettle to the studio. However, its open only between 6am to 9pm everyday.

My temporary work space. Ricky, my Hong Kong group mate.

Cantina, the canteen for Matthew Building(Arch) and Crowford Building(Arts). A very massive canteen, picture can't tell the space here.

The Toilet:

See the tower in blue? It's for drying off one hands, better solution than hand dryer or tissue.

We can even take bath in the Matthew Building.

Or even buy some condoms…

Terrible

2008-10-15T22:12:00.002+01:00

woke up late, went to the life drawing class after lunch. Dara and I went into the class. The classroom was like the dark room, windows are curtained, just a few downlight was shone. A male model, was twisting and turning on his chair, looking for the suitable position for us to draw. He not yet take off his clothing, but would take off very soon.

Suddenly, someone told us that it was L1(life drawing group 1), not L2. We are L2. It was really a shock, because the time table stated L2 and I double checked it. Maybe the lecture informed us on MyDundee( an online system used that links teaching stuffs and students). Sadly, I didn't even see the naked guy before I leaved.

Think positively, maybe we would have a nude female model when our time comes.

Lazy Saturday

2008-10-04T12:28:00.003+01:00

Saturday, I stayed at home organising my computer. Installed the Mac application, found some useful programs, like iFreeMem, Adobe Lightroom, and GimmeSomeTune, and so forth. Then watched the TV series, brothers & sisters with Kamil on my mac. Kinda wasted time watching tv series. Felt wasting papa’s money and a surge of guilt came from innerself. At night, I read Le Corbusier’s Villa Stein-de Monzie, after having mi sedap with egg, 小白菜，cabbage, carrot, corn, bacon, cup mushroom and red pepper.

party time...= =

2008-09-29T17:32:00.003+01:00

I was just back from a party in Balmor tower, one of my batch architecture students organised it. At first, I was not willing to go, whispered in my heart when asked by Dara, my flat mate. Then, I thought that maybe it was the chance to meet new friends or to talk to some architecture friends. As a result, I changed my mind and went to the party.

Surprisingly there were just 3 architecture students, excluding me and my another 2 architecture’s friends who went there together. In fact, party or bar is the most common night event here. Moreover, the spot light is always on the drink! Drink means beer, wine, vodkas and whatever with alcohol.

I told them I would not drink for the night, but eventually, I tried some wine because my Taxes friend told me wine is healthy... I mean “yeah”... I drank because I was too bored there. The music was loud, they were just drinking and talking...

The party was blown off, because a group of them said: let's go Union.. And more than half went to the union. Student Union to me, in my first impression when I was surfing Dundee’s net in Malaysia, was a welfare society for students. Astonishingly, it is a bar and disco place. Everyone enjoys in the union, drinking or looking pretty girls or handsome boys to fuck off. To me, it is bullshit. Meaningless. It is not my culture, seriously.

I had my first drink there, a sole beer, with lemon; then a thick black Guineas; followed by a shot, forget the name though. I licked the salt on left hand then quickly “throw it into me” (a new phrase means drink it fast) with right hand and finished it by biting a lemon immediately. Actually it was a small cup of alcohol, but I was told that it was very strong, more than 40%; then a mix of Coke and didn’t know what beer. So, £2 per drink, I took 4 drinks, and had to pay for the stupid £6, cause subsidised by Dara. I get drunk for the first time, face,ear and eyes turned really red. I wouldn’t forget about that night for my first drink, though it was not a nice memory.

My attitude toward drinking is:
I wouldn’t reject any culture of the local, including drinking and party and pub.
I’ll be open to accept anything, but still, I’ll pick what I should and forget about what I shouldn’t.
I paid £9.9K but the local didn’t pay any. So, I should be the one who work 9.9K times than them in architecture, right? Of course with a bit of social once in a while.

K, enough, sleep now.

Mapping Entrance- First Design Project

2008-09-26T16:00:00.001+01:00

Well, this is my first group project. It is called mapping entrance. We need to draw out the whole doorway in the actual size. Sounds easy isn’t it? So, after the lecture we went to our destination, which is of course a doorway. In fact, it is an old, gothic entrance of a library. We were led by a tutor, named Dog...Oops, it should be Doug... Then, we sat down and started to draw out the door in our sketch book.

Well, I really thought that I knew what drawing was. I was even very confident that I knew how to draw anything because everyone said that I am very artistic. Anyway, it was just a static building. I tried to sketch out the doorway with a pencil on A4 sketch book. Lines were not straight, dimensions were out! More importantly, I didn’t know how to draw 2D from this 3D world!

I was so frustrated about myself, so disappointed. Yeah, I will catch up drawing by myself this year, I promised. How? I’ll draw at least 5 sketches a day, as my own homework. As though I am so ambitious... The truth is I really need to draw to fill in my compulsory sketch book!!!! It is part of the assignment that determines pass or fail for the year.

Go back to the mapping entrance. Then, we measure it, label it on one of our group member’s sketch book. My sketch book was half way drawn, I’ll continue with it later. My english is too poor, really hard to even listen and understand the daily conversation of my group members. They speak real fast and fluent, with all kind of different accents and local words, some irish, some english, some Scottish... I was kind of left out. Truly, I need to work out with my listening and speaking as soon as possible, if not, I would be alien someday.

Fire alarm, again

2008-09-25T21:04:00.002+01:00

Well, It’s 4.04am now (26/9/08). It’s the third time I went down from the 4th floor due to the fire alarm! The fire alarm was so sensitive; I really had enough of this kind of stupid ‘expedition’. If including the fire alarm at uni, this is the 4th time I run out of a building due to the firm alarm.
Last two time were the mistake made by lady smokers, this time I think was the same reason too, just that I was lazy to find out who was the super hero who could summand a 60 people gathering at this particular sleepy time. Anyway, we were not allowed to smoke anywhere in the flat. They still don’t learn from the experience. I really hate the buster!

I was working for my first week assignment, a presentation for tomorrow 9am. The title was the ‘inspiring place’, where we can use any method to present to the tutorial group of 13 people. We can have any place, which is inspiring for us, and this is my place:
It’s a forest on top of the hill 20 minutes walk from my flat. It is a common place for old folks to stroll around with their best companion, dog. I went there alone with my lovely G9 camera of cause. After passing through all the residence houses, I came to a flower garden. Just behind the garden it was a big piece of land dedicate for the nature forest. Most of the trees are pine tree, an evergreen coniferous tree that has cluster of long needle-shaped leaves.
There were two small diverging paths that leading to unknown destiny. I simply chose a path and a sudden open space turn to me. I love the space so much, without any reason, I just stop at the centre of the space enclosing by the bushes and trees. The wind was freezing, the temperature definitely less that 10 degree Celsius but I can’t feel the cold. The feel was so great. I just love the place. I like the setting, where a large stone on the ground as a natural sitting place. The leaves were rustling while some were lifted by the gentle wind and eventually fall to the ground. Some songs of birds accompanied on the melody. The sound was soothing and peaceful.

At Dundee

2008-09-17T20:21:00.003+01:00

Well, I don't have much time here to post somthing on, cause I still didn't have internet conection now in my room. I'm in the city library, cause can't even login to the university's computer yet, as I not yet matriculate. It means i haven't got my pass to access internet.

This is a very nice city, the weather is qutie cold, it's 13-18 according to my Mac. But I think it's I'm just fine with it. Just have 2 cloths on at all times, and with a thin jacket if going outdoor.

This week is the Week zero, which for us to settle down. I have my kitchen settled, bought some kitchen utensils.

Step into the Scotland

2008-09-14T14:00:00.001+01:00

Finally after the 10H in bus, I arrive at Dundee Bus station.

Abu Dhabi

2008-09-08T08:00:00.009+01:00

Had lunch in house, cause the restaurants did not operate for the fasting period for the whole month. If the restaurant wish to operate, it must not be in the public exposed place, like market or shopping mall, instead, it need to cover the restaurant with cloths and close the door. It's like eating secretly. They say this is to pay respect to the local Muslims.. Malaysia better!

The poor restaurant really suffer a lot. They only have less than half the profit for the month but rental still the same. So, some of the bigger companies, like starback, take the opportunity to close the shop for renovation.

Bout 3 o'clock, Aunty brought me and little cute cousin stroll around Abu Dhabi with GMC-General Motor Car- American's car. Abu Dhabi have quite a lot of high rises, but much shorter and less ambitious comopare to Dubai. Only 20 to 30 stories high and most are comparabily old buildings.

We went to Marina Mall, just beside the sea. The temperature here was extreme!!! It was 38 degree celcius, a common temperature for them. What to expect in a desert city? Aunt said this month is fall, so the teperature is decreasing. For Aug, the temperature surge up to 50 degree. But I still need a jacket at night, cause every building is air-conditioned. We can't go outdoor when the sun is high in sky, even at night, the temperature is above 30.

Quite adventurous for us to stay in contect with the hot air outside, when we leave a building to the car, or when we step down from car to run to a building. My spectacles will condensed with vapour once coming down from car. Besides, the extremely humid air made me hard to grasp for air.

Finally I bought my toothbrush, a toothbrush which reflects less is more.

Aunt drove to the site to Fetch uncle back for dinner. As an architect, he work in a temporary office next to the construction site. For the first time I stepped on the desert sand. So fine, just light touch with foot on the sand would make it fly high.

We waited for the ISLAMIC OPERA SONG, and rush to heal our empty stomach at a Bei Jing restaurant. My uncle was so surprise. There was no car on the usually jam road. He said everyone were inside the restaurant.

At night, I discussed my whereabouts in London with another uncle. He studied in Glassglow, as an architect too, and stayed in London for 2 years. So lucky to heve a good guider here.

Dubai

2008-09-07T05:35:00.017+01:00

First day at Abu Dhabi. Uncle take leave to entertain me to Dubai. Lunch at a Japanese restaurant. The food there is bit different from M'sia. There is only high class restaurant at UAE, you can't find mid range restaurant. 1MYR= 1.06939Dhirham. So, look in the price below, I ate Salmon fillet for 58dhs.

My set of lunch

Then we went Dubai, about one hour journey from here, Abu Dhabi. First time I saw a GMC-General Motor Car. An America's car. I asked why GMC? Uncle replied: to support America, or it will collapse. Yup, the GMC's sale fall 30% this year, as Toyota and Honda sales boost up in US.

When over 120km/h. If not, it would state the temperature. It was 38 degree Celsius.

This is how it was in the desert.

This is how it is along the road.

The Burj Dubai, when complete, estimated 162 stories, 818 m, twice the height of twin tower and is still waiting to be built, as it want to be the tallest building forever. It waits for the compatitor to finallise their plan. If any other building plans to be built heigher, the Burj Dubai still can climb heigher as it wish, since the foudation is built to accommodate much more levels.

Along the main street, the buildings are fantastic. All kind of shapes, as heigh as KLCC.

The air quality is not good, filled with sand.

Went to a shopping mall, forget the name.

Abu Dhabi, First step to Dundee

2008-09-06T06:43:00.016+01:00

I'll walk 15 min from Paddington station to Malaysia Hall with my 30kg luggage. So, I need a handy way to carry my luggage or go gym to get fit! ya, my hand luggage is almost 15kg. Add up both, 30+15=45kg, it's 90% of my body weight.....

I went to papa's warehouse to pack my luggage. Thay were so pro.

My iMac and clothings weighted 29.4kg

Jie demostrating

After the packing, went to pyramid have lunch with LKW friends. I burnt my hand.

Kah Meng holding the camera

After the "farewell" lunch at pyramid with LKW's friends, went to buy a lipbalm. It's wierd thing to me, never use before.

Rushing back to pack my SMALL hand luggage arter say bb to my dear friend. Well, I never learn from past experience-last minute work always perfect! I perfected my last minute preparetion by leaving my tooth brush in the same old place. maybe there's something more that I left out, yet to discovered.

At KLIA, the atmosphere was bit (fan zao). Mama's left foot banged by the trolley just after we step out of the car. I know she's very pain, I know. After check in with my 29.4kg luggage, my lil tenssion finally can put aside. Well, for unknown reason, I can't feel the sadness of leaving M'sia for dunno how many years, not even nervousness or fear felt. My heart was so calm, just like normal day. Why??? But surely it wasn't a good thing, as no andreline pumped up, wouldn't be more alert and reactive.

Family and friends at KLIA. From left, Boon Sim,Chin Chuan(friends), Ling, mama, papa, me, nini and Hui chuan(cousin)

After McD, took few pictures with family N two friends who came along. Just before my departure, mama's tear rolled down her cheek. Mama, don't cry. I'll be fine, I promise.

Cute mama

On plane, I didn't switch off my phone immediately, still sms n talk to friends, as though it was last day of mine. Ha, the world is flat. I type here, U read there, isn't it a small small world? I might be over reacted.

I fly Etihad, a UAE company. The pilot gave instruction in their native language before english in their slange. Hard to understand, so I just ignore. First thing first, check for the emergency outlet, the evacuation plan, and the toilet. Then, explore the sall LCD display in front of me. The two dunno what nation ppl, speaking dunno what language, have zero conversation to me. Just point and point and aspect I know what they think. It's their first time in air I think, always follow what I do. I open the food container, they follow. I ate A, they not dare to eat B. I press on the screen at A, they press A too. When I take tea instead of coffee; beef instead of fish or chicken, coke instaed of wine or skyjust, they just point at what I eat, and the air stewardes take 3 sets of the same thing. I acted very pro, as though I fly everyday.

Watched Iron Man and Bat Man1989 half way, as it is too lame compare to The Dark Knight.

Sleep a while.

Arrived in Abu Dhabi. I love the arabic design,

Abu Dhabi Airport, MUCH smaller than KLIA

Uncle came to fatch me, he called a cab, Camry, left driver seat. The road was so flat and straight, the car maintain at 160km/h, so stable. Ya, just realise, Camry got 5th gear, as approaching 130km/h, it switches. The house beside the road was so fasinating. All enormous bunglo, Arab style. Flat roof, well crafted fascade, square, arabic arched and openning.

Reached uncle house, a hotel service condo, ate japanese noodle, washed up and sleep again.

My bedroom

It's really wierd about the time. I flew off at 9:45pm at M'sia, reached UAE at 12:10am(4.15am M'sia time). so, it's time to sleep again? yup, I sleep again. The time here is 4 hours later than M'sia.

Thanks

2008-08-22T19:35:00.003+01:00

Ya, you are some one special to me, can't lie to myself. But, it's time and space that decide the path.

Thanks. 洋？水瓶？？？

prepare for Dundee

2008-08-11T08:10:00.003+01:00

bought a new sweater from universal traveler, 50% off, so it's RM199.50. It's a thin sweater. the thinner or less bulkier the sweater, the more expensive it is. And I also bought a Roll-up vacuum bag.. It can save storage space up to 75%, which I really need it. it can be reused, quite environmental friendly, otherwise, I wouldn't give it a damn.

taking this photo=50ml sweat! Now i know why it calls sweater..

The vacuum pack, first time know the existance of this thing.

Conquer The Best- CHS band

2008-08-04T07:34:00.006+01:00

Seasons comes, seasons go
people in it to and fro
I recall as my memory unfolds
hot blaring suns, long weary roads
practice that turns us from learners to pro
That was once long ago
for some people we don't know
but for us we foresee schedules to come
all of this work
from then to now
looking forward to play our role

*CHORUS
Pledge our hearts, pledge our souls
keep our spirit high on hold
brace our strength, take the chance
fight whatever we're against
We'll be tough, we'll be strong
together we fear no wrong
in the end, we're the last one standing on
won't give up, will not stop
strive the quest
until we conquer the best

Break of dawn, set of dusk
sometimes even after dark
we revise to get our music marked
we play our part
to know the art
getting scolding when we are not smart
then again as we think
we remember all the things
our seniors said to us before they go
as we look back, we know our task
to forever put on a good show

*CHORUS
Chose this path, no regrets
we'll see no rest
to go on conquering the best

*BRIDGE
As we break the doors to achieve new light
face some barriers with no help at sight
when there's no support and hope seems not tall
we will keep to our promise and refuse to fall

*CHORUS
Bond our dreams, set the goals
out do the best
and we know we've conquered the best!

Design Communication A

( Late Submission, "-15%", but only deduct 3%. Still, 2nd highest. If submit in time, I'm the highest among ~165 students.. Hard work really pays. This is the exchange:

plans in ink 3H X 2 + roof plan 2H X1 =9 Hours
Elevations in ink 2H X 2 =4 Hours
sections in ink 2H X3 =6 Hours
axonometrics in ink 4H X2=8 Hours

plans in pencil 2H X 2 + roof plan 1H X 1 =5 Hours
Elevations in pencil 2H X 2 + 3H X 1(one of them really draw, not tracing) = 7 Hours
Sections in pencil 5H X 2 ( lots of unnecessary research) = 10 Hours
axonometrics in pencils 5H X 2 ( lots of details and research) = 10 Hours

trace everything on butter paper to tracing paper, 12 Hours

total= 71 hours or 2.96 days "only"

Architecture Design A-

(most of the time spent here, most important subject
happy with it, 2nd highest in class...)

Architecture Culture B+

( Now only I know the style u want, pic n words mix together, more personal point of view)

Communication Principal B-

grrrr..... the Dundee U really make me crazy...

Late reply, sent empty forms: written (o.0kb), so obvious, but they can't read.

This is what they give me after so many days!! n the deadline to secure an accommodation is 2 more days!

The Residences Office is currently very busy processing
accommodation applications for Session 2008/09. As a result
we may not be able to respond to your email as
quickly as we would want to.

Please be assured that emails will be read on a regular
basis and responded to as soon as time permits. Your
patience at this busy time will be appreciated.

If you require general accommodation information please
see our web site:
www.dundee.ac.uk/residences

I'm a qualified applicant for the accommodation, and the residences Office should consider my request to resend a form, which I believe is just as easy as a click. I had went to the web site more than thousand times! N this is what I got..

nearly everyday I'm reporting to MABECS, to ensure I'm not left out.

The FIRM UNCONDITIONAL letter also take more than 1 week for them to send...sounds like I received?

I'm still waiting..... ......

Taylors, srry.. not going to u anymore.. cause I found a better one.

LKW, work harder to level up your teaching quality... Less Malays from UITM pls.. they can't even use proper eng in teaching n explaining...

"apa itu tension?" ........
...
.......... ..........

" arrr... actually I dunno..."
this word coming out from a uni lecturer, after a long Q&A session between us. I just wanted to try out your understanding bout basic Phy... and this is what u got, as a Building Technology Lec.

haha, so funny...
Malaysia time is +8, which of cause I knew..

but get it wrong here, chose -8.... just realised!

that's why the post time always always appear weird...

BEFORE...

AFTER

Scotland

2008-07-26T17:13:00.000+01:00

I want to go to The University of Dundee, Scotland!!!

few things to do and to settle as fast as possible, to grasp the chance of the life time, which might be the turning point of my life.

1. The accommodation. The date line is 31st July, but today is 27th...means 4 days left. Need to check mail frequently, waiting for the reply by Uni. Have to work out with MABECS, contact them once a day, anyhow, it's just 4 more days.

2. Discipline. No more Diablo2, day dream is allowed but need to cut down by half. Fail to plan is plan to fail. so, where is my plan??? my diary left empty since LKW ends... One month is gone, contributed to Diablo2, paladin 72 lvl and amazon 24 lvl.... Clean up the mess starting tmr, clean bedroom table, books, and re organise..

3. Financial planning. Well, the key to Scotland all depends on $$$$$ factor. Scholarship?? Papa's boss?? It once seems no hope, however I can feel the dim light getting brighter.. now? no idea.

But the news from mama was papa agree to let me go, even self sponsored. Where papa find the money while he's only a senior manager with salary just possible to cover home expenditure, say bout RM 10k... and supporting Ling in Medicine study? I know he is doing multiple jobs and trying to diversify his income through many ways, like writing will( Rockwill), sell mutual fund
( Public Mutual), publishing primary books, which I suppose to lent a helping hand, but failed as I was not discipline, easy-Pharmax, trying hard to get into some rocks, land businesses...

Well, a great father!! He never compromise on giving his children the best education, because he is a real educator( was a teacher, Lecturer for teacher training, book publisher...)!

I have to do the poster for dadah, write book n discuss with jie, help mama to manage her soft copy artwork and design a nice portfolio for her. Do it. No excuse.

Mama's art value is underestimate. One painting RM2K, if there at studio got 50 paintings, which is my minimal estimation... WOW! my one year tuition fee+ living expenses at Dundee is covered! sad to tell that, I'm too selfish... Poor parents, I squeeze both if you until you can hardly breath. I can choose to study at USM, missed the scholarship of 3 yaers in Taylors, or study here 3 years before going oversea... But LKW had made me totally disappointed in Malaysia's education... even a private uni can't escape from the LOCAL TEACHING STYLE.. Taylors maybe the same, but hopefully bit better? 6th Form still the best.

Nini's Pet

2008-07-23T21:46:00.001+01:00

the 16th days hamster... still cannot walk steadily..

First day she open her eyes, so big and round! Pathetic thing, didn't see her mother once..She become orphan even before seeing the world..

eating something?

dade dade..

some sleeps while others getting exited around

mama breast feeding the babies. Impressive heavy duty for her, day and night, 24H in action. The babies would take turns hung there sucking milk, making her hard to even move around all the times. Another superwoman's job is to take the 7 babies one by one up and down the double layer cage everyday, the upper floor is their warm bedroom, and the lower is the activity space.

7th day

Left at upper story, love to sleep side by side, and weird post.. haha, so cute.

9th day

The eyes still can't open, but can smell the food and holding them with both hands. The food was selected and randomly put all around the babies.. mostly grains, which she usually wont eat.. maybe it's good for the babies who was learning to consume solid foods.

10th day

One afternoon, MY mother suddenly ask me to see the weird sleeping post of the mother hamster. (MY MUM rarely look at the hamsters, so not surprising to me when she say it's weird).... So straight, like 僵屍。。 I found out there is something wrong, she was not moving at all... no heart beat..

one baby still looking for milk, sucking here and there..the poor thing couldn't suck anything out, so tried another breast... again, no milk, try another place... the baby noticed the different, but couldn't tell why.. eventually, after 15 min of disappointment, the baby gave up and sleep beside the mother. The eyes still not open! How sad..

I tried to touch it with stick, scared the decomposing bacteria or the decaying liquids infecting myself. The legs are so stiff that it is not possible to bend by the stick and body was harden. texted nini, it's "mother"; the babies' "granny" immediately as she was at the school, she bring handphone and ipod to school of cause.. Papa, a bio grad, came home and throw away the dead body, as he said it must be handled fast, it is decomposing... but in the end, I dunno what he done to the body, didn't ask till today, left it a mystery.

12th day

The next day, 7 babies who still depends on mum's milk, never see their mum again.. so, we start to feed them with water, one by one, since they still couldn't see anything and don't know how to find water themselves. Luckily, the mother hamster left them with something very essential: skill to eat solid foods. If not, they won't survive today..

13th day

again n again...

2008-07-23T12:37:00.000+01:00

Jz woke up. it's 2:37 am.

These days many things happened to me. 2 days back, at starbuck, I was suppose to fetch nini back from tuition. It was 9:55 pm, considered late to leave the place. Pack the laptop, finish the last slurp of the thick hot choco, and rush to the car.

one hand holding the laptop and another dig deep into the huge pocket on the right. Great! The adrenaline starts it's journey, a feel of fear run through my spine. You should know what happened here. where is the car key??? I used to have a clumsy bunch of keys tied together to prevent this kind of affair taking place. but it's papa's Hyundai.... I didn't have my own copy in the collection. searching around... couldn't find.... announce missing. imediately ran to the car, please, don't let me see the unwanted scene... praying for the car to be at where it was.

Thanks God, it's still there. The fear gone, replaced with the consciousness. Then, I called papa to fetch nini n bring the spare key. Look around again, asked around. Luckily, papa didn't scold me, cause he knew it wouldn't turn the situation better. Well, the forgetful, careless, "mong cha cha" characteristic all shown up again.

the same day afternoon( flash back a bit), After settled at MABECS, jie asked me to buy a bus ticket for my cousin, from KL to Parit Buntar, 3:30 pm tmr. So, I went to the patrol station at state to buy. It's my first time to but a bus ticket though always be the driver to send ppl there to buy ticket. I said to the person on the counter, Parit Buntar, 3: 30 pm tmr. He asked from Duta or Pudu. (take long time to recall the names... short memories bout names.... haiz...) I simply said Duta, as I have no idea what's the different. paid RM21.40, went to fetch nini back from school. C, this is the life of the driver... never rest!

Reached home, left the ticket on the Peugeot, fetch nini to tuition. ... :again, forgot to bring the ticket home...

At night, jie told me I should choose Pudu instead of Duta, nearer. ... another mistake here... Anyway, I inquire papa bout the way to Duta, as I will be the DRIVER again the next day.

so, the story continues today..

I went to papa's office to print out my portfolio in the morning. Bout 12pm, Jie called me :"the bus ticket written 24July, which is tmr!...." again, another mistake!!! I can never done a thing perfectly...

As a full time driver to serve everyone without any complains, went back to take jie and cousin sis for our lunch at state. Ya, missed out something... Before that, at papa's office.. I was asked to drive papa's car back to do my stuff ( UK thing ). when reach the lower ground parking lot, errr... where is the car??? Reminded papa purposely told me to remember where he parked the car just now... I answered:" Oooo..." He knows me well... In the end, I walked for at laest 15 min, search for 2 floors car park n still, cannot find the car.. phone papa, the annoying sound again..."..u have insufficient credit to make the call... bla bla..." haiz... so I walk around again n again, with the heavy laptop...

Finally, found!

The car key??

No no, this time, it's safely in my pocket... haha, so happy finally I done something reasonable.

Went to change the ticket, forget what's the malay word for "yesterday" , jie told kemarin... My malay suck.. changed the date, n the venue to Pudu. I forget where we took our lunch.

send cousin to Pudu, go MABECS again check for the accommodation, fetch jie back. went Wing's at Kelana, bind the portfolio. Mama requested me to buy her some acrylic, but I didn't have $$$.. Wallet still left <>

went to band room, send nini back. I was totally flat, bumped into my bed, zzzzzz...z.z....

few minutes later... the phone rang again... be tough and consistent Ziyang... how can a 24H-on-call-driver sleep while he is on duty? again, have to fetch papa from KTM, Petaling... since the car is with me...

I sincerely salute Jie, he so brilliant as to choose not to learn driving.

relax

2008-07-23T05:19:00.001+01:00

waiting Nini tuition. In Starbuck.
I planned to do my portfolio here, but left my copies at home, was rushing for time. Jie, fast fast learn to drive, I want to quit as her Personal Driver soon.
Ordered signature hot chocolate tall, ten ringgit. taste fine, but just an ordinary small cup of chocolate.

Mun

2008-07-20T18:51:00.001+01:00

"Ziyang arr.. got any plan today?...I got nothing to do today, boring... lunch?... I also haven't take my lunch.. ..." She didn't ask me to go any place or have lunch together.. but i know she is looking for some accompaniment, trying to sneak out from the house.. the hidden msg.. shy? I'd some ideas in my mind, some places to go, something to do, but didn't speak out. In the end I called her again and ask her for lunch. She agreed!

so, we went to The little Taiwan. The upstair was closed, so disappointed, as it was my favorite place, nice relaxing environment.. Her pendent was nice, looks like Tranz design, but I kept the complement in heart. After lunch, we went to Asia Cafe, play pool, as she mentioned she want to try pool once upon a time.

Pool was one of our 'F6 band gang''s favorite activity, hanging out with them was so much fun. but today, I forget how to play, always miss the easy ones, and some more, it's in front of her, for her first time. New discovery, she is left hander! that's why she is good in sports.

Then, Sunway archery. Our first time, 12 arrows each person.. hard to stable the heavy bow, strength is the only key for it. We had an ice-cream as finale. Mun Mun, thanks.

Give me some time, my english will improve :)

Tai Chi

2008-07-20T18:25:00.000+01:00

Went taichi for the first time. no paint, no sweat, no increase in heart beat.. just like a dream, woke up by father at 6am, went to Checkers by car and taichi together with old folks(papa is the youngest among them!)... Anyway, the 30 min taichi was not even as demanding as the band's warm up... maybe I couldn't grasp the "qi" at all.. however, salute the old folks there, as some of them are 80+year-old, still looks 50+. Then, came back and continue to sleep.. Well, it may be jz my own imagination, maybe it didn't happen at all.

Bon Odori

My second Bon Odori. Was there, 2 years back, with bunch of L6F classmates. But this year, everyone was all over Malaysia for their uni, except me.. So, went with Mun Mun. Asked her just one night before the event, late midnight, after knowing from Nini when I was watching Matrix2. Was so afraid that she couldn't make it. If no one accompany me that day, I would just it turn down. Thanks to Mun2.

First blog

2008-07-11T10:43:00.000+01:00

dunno why suddenly click here and there, and end up at here..

maybe it's time for me to create my own blog. today is 7-11, though 7-11 is none of my good friends.

This blog is to keep record of myself or to expose myself to others? doubt it. But when i saw friends' blog,......... memories............ all the precious times freeze there, and even can scroll back to the exact time frame to walk trough and taste the lovely or sad scene again and again, reminisce the past... photos and videos for the eye, words for the soul and mind. What is the feelings when I reread this 10 years in future? sure 'll laugh but glad to have a kick to start!

fIRST lAW- a body will remain its state in static or to move with constant velocity if no force acted on it. 'hmmm... suddenly physics come out?' so, since the force applied, i have to continue to write, and will try my best to overcome the friction in terms of laziness. wow, love physics so much!

'nini speaks in dream again...'

physics is nothing, it's everyday life observation. last time, i believed in some saying that we had discovered 80% of the 'truth' that's why fewer 'laws' are coming in recently... well, they are so wrong! now is the prime time of the development of physics! thanks to high tech equipments. quantum mechanics, quarks, bla bla bla... i really enjoy study physics in form6. since young, i love science. I read lots of kid's encyclopedia in primary school, and thought that everything on earth are on my finger tips. As grow older, I realised the lesser I know about science.. NTU's dean said, when a bio can be written in chemical equation, it simplified to chemistry. when chem can be governed by rules or law, it becomes physics; if the physics can be calculated in equations, it's mathematic. so, doctors know the least and the salute should be given to the mathematicians. I agree with it! math is the root of all sciences. if phy is developing slower than math by 20 years, chem slower than phy by another 20 and bio another 20, the mathematicians now are creating the platform for bio in the half century in future.

dunno why, write a lot of rubbish, jz ignore it if boring. k, good night to myself.
