Dancing With A Stranger

I finally finished my model and presentation board! And slept for 12 hours straight after staying awake for 3 days.

Space, Inside Out

Did some manual rendering with colour pencil on the presentation board after I printed it.

Now I am left with design diary, portfolio, topography model and perspex cover for my models.

SketchUp to Revit

After doing 3d modeling in SketchUp, I was thinking... Why not I do my building plans using Revit? Here I go...

Tada...

It took me quite an effort to link SketchUp files with Revit since I don't really know how Revit works. But with tutorial I finally get it done. So this is how it looks like in SketchUp, rear elevation.

Combo, not a bad idea. I was thinking maybe I can do abit of presentation rending with Maya.

3ds Max

Creating terrain was so difficult with SketchUp! Cause I'm noob =_=

It took me nights, and sleepless nights trying to model the contour in SketchUp but it wasn't accurate.

Then my hero, 3ds Max came in.

So accurate!

D. Gray Man

I so want to get my hands on Lenalee's exorcist costume! It's so cool... *too bad I'm not involved in cosplay*

Wish I have the body to wear such sexy costume though. Sigh...

Oxymoron!

It's 3.30 in the morning now and as usual, I'm procrastinating again.

I was Tadao Ando'ing' a minute ago and I noticed something about him. I shall share my opinion of him here...

He is actually a really complicated guy, but he strives for simplicity. And thus, he claims that he is simple guy by using lots of geometrical plans to create his "spiritual space". (Sounds like me, I guess. Simple yet complicated. *sigh*)

Yay, paradox. Just like Tadao. He want his space to come between fictive and reality. Make it spiritual and highly symbolic.

Oh Tadao, I have fallen in love with you... Because you are so like me (or I claimed to be)

Let's build a home together, shall we? (*laughs* literally)

Stop finding reasons

It has been ages since I last posted. This will be a quick one. And most probably the first post that I write about my personal thoughts and feelings.

People called me kiasu, workaholic, or which ever names that lie between that, though it does not bothers me, the simple truth about me is that, I'm a perfectionist. Blame Sagittarius, blame my personality. I can't change it. And I don't want to. I am a proud Sagittarian.

Being someone who always want things go her way, sometimes, what I achieved, is not something that easy to satisfy my huge appetite. I aimed too high and disappointments are always there.

Not only that I am always disappointed with myself, I found out that I let down those around me as well. Sometimes the guilt is so overwhelming that I wish to turn back time and patch up on things that I could improve on. I really dislike this part of me. I dislike being regretful.

Just like any other teenagers, there are times that I just wish to take a break and be "normal" for a bit. Normal as in, well, let's take things easy and go with the flow. Why push yourself so hard? Life is short. Stop and smell the flowers.

Which I did. And all that I get from being carefree (a little) is just regrets, disappointments and frustrations. I want to make things work again and again, strive for the best. After all, this is the real spirit in me. The perfectionist, the kiasu fella.

Let me advise you, readers. The more you want something to work and go your way, the worse it will become. Just do what you can, you never know when it's already brilliant. Don't think too hard.

Because I think too much, think too hard, tried too much, tried too hard, I expect from myself too much and aimed too high, well, it can be good or otherwise. Don't be a Saggitarian like me. You will only be discontented with life.

Be happy
