L'architecture + Couture = Fabuleux?  

Posted by Daniel^_^Chin

*dusts* *dusts*

Oh my god my blog is filled with cobwebs, a perfect timing for Halloween? Perhaps...

How long has it been since I last updated? 

Hey, here's a draft! *picks up a yellowish paper with several bitten marks* 

Oh, there's another one! *examines a coffee stained parchment from one grandfather's notebook*

Has this place turned into a haunted house? Let's not go into Halloween, because the party hasn't started yet, and boy I hope it's terrible (in a good way :P).

To compensate for my irresponsibility, here is me presenting my first ever lecture on architecture!!!

*Boooooo!!!!!*

What? No? Okay fine, just kidding anyway. Instead, I'm gonna teach you how to be a fashion designer. 

o.O

First, you design on a piece of paper, preferably a toilet paper or a handkerchief to show your great eureka moment. "Oh look, I had this incredible design when I was suffering from constipation in the LOOie! Yay!"

Alternately, for architecture students, you can 
find your inspiration from the architecture world...

Which comes to the main point of this entire blog (I can see Ms Juida smacking her head now. "Where is your thesis statement Daniel? Plan of development, plan!!!!)

Well, I came across these LV bags (don't ask how!) and find out that their names are based on architects!!!

No, girls, stop screaming! It's men's bags...but seriously.....What would be the worst inspiration for ladies bag other than "architecture"?

All from the Damier Graphite collection...

So here's the Renzo (Piano) bag--->And here is the Tadao (Ando) bag---> 

 
Rem (Koolhaas) bag--->
Ieoh (Ming Pei) bag!--->
Jorn (Utzon) bag--->
And let's look at how these guys work these bags, but before that, let me explain that none of them get paid for posing, and neither did I for digitally......well you know :P








Well, cool isn't it? There are other better ones in the collection but sadly they're not named after great architects.

This leaves you wondering......"What about a Zaha bag?"

*Laughing Out Load*......o.O...

Well, here's an exhibition on Zaha's interpretation of the iconic LV bag

Hey...where're the pics? I can't upload them!!!

I think you have to search for them yourself. I'm sorry :( but my blog is interactive, I don't expect you to just sit and read like a lazy bump while I was typing and uploading pics like a mad man. Now go! Off!

What the point of this entry? There's a whole lot more meaning behind it, not just asking you to admire...

I'll let you think...think...T~H~I~N~K~~~~~

Readers: What? An initial excitement out of discovery turned out into something meaningful? Give me a break! 

Author: Mind me *laughs sheepishly*

Just Stand Up <3  

Posted by Daniel^_^Chin

Came across this great song and thought I should share with everyone. 

All your favourite female singers come together and present you 
this heart-warming song about fighting cancer and never give up. ;)

PS: Although Miley sounds a bit weird but don't hate her because she 
represents the younger generation and she really did her best for a good 
cause.

Oh, and Nicole was filling in for some singers who didn't attend.


Beyonce: The heart is stronger than you think,

It’s like it can go through anything.
And even when you think it can’t it finds a way to still push on, though

Carrie: Sometimes you want to run away, Ain’t got the patience for the pain
And if you don’t believe it look into, your heart the beat goes on

Rihanna: I’m tellin’ you that,

Rihanna/Miley: Things get better, Through whatever

Rihanna: If you fall, dust it off, don’t let up

Sheryl: Don’t you know you can go be your own miracle

Beyonce: You need to know

CHORUS :
Sheryl: If the mind keeps thinking you’ve had enough, But the heart keeps telling you don’t give up

Sheryl/Beyonce: Who are we to be..questioning, wondering what is what
Don’t give up…THROUGH IT ALL, JUST STAND UP!

Fergie: It’s like we all have better days
Problems getting all up in your face

Leona: Just because you go through it

Fergie: Don’t mean it got to take control, no

Leona: You ain’t gotta find no hiding place

Keyshia: Because the heart can beat the hate

Leona: Don’t wanna let your mind keep playin’ you

Keyshia: And sayin’ you can’t go on

Rihanna: I’m tellin’ you that

Miley: Things get better
Through whatever

Rihanna: If you fall

Miley: Dust if off, don’t let up

LeAnn: Don’t you know you

Natasha: Can go

LeAnn: Be your own

Natasha: Miracle

Carrie: You need to know

Ensemble: CHORUS

Mary: You don’t gotta be a prisoner in your mind

Ciara: If you fall, dust it off

Mary: You can live your life

Rihanna/Carrie: Yeah

Mary: Let your heart be your guide

Rihanna/Carrie: Yeah yeah yeah

Mariah: And you will know that you’re good if you trust in the good

Ashanti: Everything will be alright, yeah
Light up the dark, if you follow your heart

Mary: And it will get better

Mariah: Through whatever

CHORUS

Fergie: You got it in you, find it within
You got in now, find it within now
You got in you, find it within
You got in now, find it within now
You got in you, find it within
Find it within you, find it within

Everyone: THROUGH IT ALL, JUST STAND UP!

A Bridge Too Hard To Cross  

Posted by Daniel^_^Chin

This is the first time I feel the pressure since the start of my semester, not the big deal I've been through, but big enough to feel the existence of something pressing my chest, and something trying to gush up my mind and fill it with some evil substance of adamant nature...(omg what am I talking about? Sorry but I'm an exaggerating kind of person)...


But you'll ask, "Hey aren't you taking bridging? What's the big fit?"

And I'll reply, "Dude, I know, but...that's only assuming, and it was started by me(refer to previous post)...and you know that to assume is to make an @ss outta u and me."

"So what happened?"

"*Sigh*...you see, although I only have 5 subjects(only?), the amount of credit hours is more than the hours you stay in the toilet in a week. Smelly isn't it?"

"Ahem"

"Two subjects is enough to work off ur...err...you know. And not forgetting the importance, there's a subject with 10 credits(*gasps*). Everything is just TMTH"

"But..."

"I know what you are thinking, so what happens to those who didn't take bridging? Let me tell you, I................er.................don't want to think about it, the picture is yours to imagine, I only do sketches......oh crap, I have sketches to do! See ya!" *runs*

Anyways, I'm glad I took this course, because I know I won't be able to cope with the workload next year. But to those who are not taking bridging, don't worry, I know you can do it, time management is the key!

So see ya! *runs to journal and starts sketching*

Another sem...time to be different...  

Posted by Daniel^_^Chin

I'm going to start my 1st year degree, so I'm officially a degree student now...yeah!!!!

But technically I'm doing bridging, and please don't ask me to explain, I've done it so many times so I'm fed up now :P.... 

I just got my result on Saturday, and to my surprise...I wasn't surprised at all! Which means I was surprised, but not for the reason I always thought I would be surprised, and rather I was surprised by the surprise that I wasn't expecting to be getting surprised at all. Am I getting you confused, or myself being confusing right now? Surprise...surprise...o.O This is the first time your are surprised at my blog load of surprises, and I am surprised too...

So what's the BIG surprise? Don't be surprised okay?



I got 3As and 3Bs!...you are not surprised? Then I AM surprised that you are not surprised at all......o.O


So what's the fuss? There's none at all. In fact, I mentioned that I wasn't surprised at the surprise I thought I would be getting surprised. So I wasn't surprised at my result....I know it's your turn to be surprised now, but really, I wasn't surprised...

So why?

Because I knew it was coming, no, not the surprise, I mean the result...in fact, I thought it was gonna be worst. But I was content with my result, so maybe I was happy...and the surprise I was talking about was the one that I got after realising I was content(maybe a lil bit happy)...so that's why I was surprised...

But why? 

I'm glad that you asked, or if you didn't, then I'm surprised...

Because I knew I was lazy last semester...I did badly, maybe in my own point of view, but it's still bad...surprisingly bad...so I thought I was screwed...

But deep inside I knew I didn't do so badly, in my lecturers' POV, because they've seen worst...

So it's time to stop being lazy and be hardworking! 

And stop thinking that I don't need to be hardworking to pass...who knows maybe I'm not as lucky(and as surprised) next time?

So that THE END to my entry this time! Are you surprised at the incredible short length compared to my other entries? Well, you'll be more surprised if I told you that I have 40 surprise/surprises/surprised/surprisingly in this entry! So are you surprised? To get more surprises, please come back again!


Disclaimer: Blog owner will not be held responsible for any surprise attacks on the readers. The reason the blog owner did not put any warning before the post was because he did not know that the surprises were coming, so he was surprised too.

Laziness...can be d'licious...and simple...  

Posted by Daniel^_^Chin

I can't help but laughing stupidly at my stupid title...am I becoming more stupid? :P


But one thing for sure, I'm becoming more lazy....

Actually, not lazier than usual...but sometimes you need to have a time when you suddenly "crumple" up and lie in the "bin"....am I refering myself as a "rubbish"? o.O

Well, anyway...for a few days I thought I was doing nothing. But then again...what's the point of holidays? For some people...it is time to work and earn some money...for others, erm...study time perhaps?(definitely not me :P) But for me, holiday is the time to rest and enjoy ur life while you still have it...wait, don't get me wrong...I mean before I go back to my Archi-student life, where life is not exactly a life...since when architects have life anyway? Not for me(again)...I strive to be different from others...and that's me...I always want to be different...I hate when people follow me, and I hate it when I sometimes tend to follow people too T.T. 

But one thing people should know-learn from others is different from follow or trying to be like others(note to everyone :P)

Anyway...where was I?...Oh ya...I want to be different? Of course I am...but not that kind of social misfit or oddball kinda different. I even thought of having a reality show called...hmm...what should it be called? *smile sheepishly* well....I never actually thought of the title, but it's a reality show about an architect's fab life...I'll make the life of an architect fabulous. Something  like Apprentice with me as the "Donald Trump"...minus the bad hair...and a splash of the ever fabulous Kimora Lee Simmons's Life in the Fab Lane...but at the same time informative and entertaining *yum!!* 

Okay everyone that came to my blog has decided I'm outta my mind now...

And yesterday I just finished the fourth book of a children series...and I mean children children...not like Harry Potter...but children children children(get it? o.O) And I'm not revealing the title here...it's too embarrassing T.T...but it's not "Little Rabbit Bibi and the Flying Kitchen Pan" or something like that okay...that's too children children children children x10...but hey...that sounds like a nice title to......

Sometimes you have to stop being complicated and lose up...

I don't know when that came up but it truely describes what I've been doing...I was back to basics...yearly ritual...back to simplicity for a while and recharge. 

Sometimes you have to stop being busy...being demanding of yourself to do things...sometimes you just have to relax...

Listen to some music(my favourite hitz.fm)...read some SIMPLE books...walk slowly...dream peacefully...exactly what I was doing all day!

Stop solving puzzles of 1000 pieces just to get the picture...why not draw one yourself...and admire it until you are ready to go through the pieces again.

Hey.....this blog is going no way I wanted...I didn't even plan it. I guess that's BLOG!

But that my ideal D'licious life! 

*PS: Sorry for wasting your precious time reading my "blog"...but sometimes you have to read simple blogs right?

Holidays~~~  

Posted by Daniel^_^Chin

So I'm free now! Well actually my holiday started few week ago but I only have the mood to blog right now. It has been a long time since I last updated my blog and I was sooooooo lazy to update it. This blog is sort of my personal diary and I only include my personal life here but at the same time, I want to have another blog that I can put everything I'm interested in it and share with other people such as hobbies and entertainment stuffs.

So instead of writing my own blog I started reading other people's blog and I found out quite a few interesting blogs that focus on things like fashion, food, books and entertainment. Well maybe you guys can give me some suggestions on what kind of blog I can write. I would love to start a blog that reviews entertaining stuffs like books, tv shows, musics, food, fashion and maybe I could use some help from other writers too :P

And the Olympic games are around the corner!!!!!!!!!!! Woot that just popped in my head :P

And that means I should rush back to my hostel in Cyberia and befriend with lovely Astro Supersport that I felt sooooo unfamiliar with before, well I'm not a big fan of sport you know :P I'd rather sleep than sit on the couch hitting my arse whenever another guy fails to kick a ball into the right direction. But I do like to watch some sports on Olympic like badminton(gotta root for Malaysia :P) and bowling too(but it's not in the Olympics right?).


So, while waiting for that auspicious date of 08/08/2008 let's go back to my holiday now :P

There's really nothing for me to do right now so while waiting for my results, I'm watching shows like hell(like I didn't when I was studying...shhhh!). Just finished the fourth season of Australia's Next Top Model....I know that many of you don't even know that it exists but I really had nothing to watch...I mean English shows as my internet has problems downloading the beautiful housewives of Wisteria Lane into my laptop and also the not so beautiful Ms Latina fashionista(or fashioNOTa) running around in her orange poncho(I seriousely do hope she has burned it).

Anyways don't worry as I have a few Hong Kong dramas up my sleaaves(pardon the australian accent o.O) thanks to my sistar :P DRAMA! DRAMA! I'm soooooo sick of it roight neow :P although I do admit I'm a dramatic person insoide and outt. But I still wanna watch some dramas by the Yanks...

And lose the stupid accent!!!!!! Okoie....

Well I guess I could do some review on TV shows then....my halfway written one for "Kung Fu Panda" is in the garbage bin now I suppose...and I do not have patience to post stupid(I mean really stupid and annoying) links on movies and other really stupid stuffs on Facebook like the other annoying person there, I wish I didn't add him and I guess some of you who added him should know who I'm talking about right now cause it seems he's the only one doing it :P and he is not my friend I do not talk bad behind my friends......only a few miles out of their sight(and hearing :P)

And not to forget the piling books that I bought ages ago.....and didn't touch them until now. Last week(or last last week) I went to MPH and wanted to buy more but figured that I should wait for my mum to buy for me instead(need to save money the wicked way now!). Meanwhile I guess I'll just have to finish those I'm having now!

Oh and it's Rozan's birthday today btw...guess I'll wish him later today...gotta sleep naiow...if you are reading this blog(Rozan)....YOU ARE OLDDDDDDDD!!!!!!!*wicked laugh* Happy BITTER 19!...nay just kidding your birthday will still be as SWEET as..........................................something sweet :P Sorry I'm not theear to celebrate with ya but I hope you get a nice cake from Secret Recipe :P......and this is the first Happy Birthday in my blog! Here are some lovely pics for you!!!


A teddy with a cake :P


And a wicked Häagen-Dazs® Caremel Drizzle cake -
your choice of Häagen-Dazs® ice cream covered in a rich chocolate coating drizzled with caramel and garnished with fudge swirls and pecan halves.


And More!!!! This time a Serendipity - Haagen-Dazs® Macadamia Nut ice cream embedded in rich cream, layered with chocolate, topped with fresh strawberries & blueberries. "Surely serendipitous!"

I'm sooooo dying for cakes now...T.T

Okay that's all Happy Birthday again!!!!!!! And I wish all your wishes come true! (but not the bad ones about me!)

It's so late now.....or is it actually early?(these two words are a few ones that architects don't really know...and can't really figure out).....so that sounds like an end to me....Anne will probably say I'm writing an essay again when she sees this....so boii!!!!(oh I can't get rid of that accent!!)
