Exit Blog

Woah. Mix emotion. Happy or sad? The last blog post of the course. @.@

This semester have been hard. I have to admit I'm not so good into handling stress, and compared to seniors who took 7 subjects last semester in semester 4, I only took 6 and I've already going to reach the limit soon. Anyway, I felt like I've grown a lot somehow. @.@ Less emotion break down compared to previous semesters. But have understand myself even more, found more and more bad qualities of myself, and my friends did remind me about that too. Would try hard to change it, this bad attitude, that I'll look extremely dark face when I've faced problems with any of the assignments, and led to my friends feeling so uneasy. @.@

Yea, semester 4. Have had 2 very good lecturers in design, yet, I guess they'll be vomiting blood because of us. I've seems like have not reach the level of design 4 studio. Working not hard enough, and this sem have been non stop pushing myself to upgrade myself and also the works. Even the attitude and disciplines and all, punctuality. Design 4 have been looked very heavy into that, disciplines.

Others still the same. 6 subjects in one sem with all the submissions almost clashing together is really "too much fun". But I've really enjoyed the Science 2 classes learning about lighting and acoustics with the humorous Mr Siva. CAD2 lecturer Mr Kamal had been very nice and gentle to us as well.

Of course the Theories Class. Frankly speaking, submitting essays every week is kind of torturous. hahaha. Reading the long essays with the critical thinking and all. At first I was thinking having exam maybe will be better than writing blog. Luckily after the 2nd essays, the essays are easier to read compare to the concept of space and Heidegger's thinking. I've learned a lot of these theories actually, although some that isn't really fully understanding. :s I like the last essay. =) About the sensuality, pleasure of architecture, seduction and so on. Yea, feels like architecture is such lively things, part of our lives! *love*

Before having this theories class, my mind was like architecture is only designing whatever shape you want with a concept, as long as it looks nice for people. But through this class, I've learned that architecture is not just that. It suits a lot of philosophies. Heidegger's thinking, concept of place, ruins and aesthetics, and so much more. I love the old buildings as well, the spirit in it, not only for Kellie's Castle, even the older building outside. Sometimes after some thinking, it's kind of dilemma which side to stand, when people demolish buildings for new development, it was so saddening, so many energy wasted in between. But if that doesn't happen, there wouldn't have better development in the country. What to do? which side to stand? hmm.

Besides, I also learn what does it means by concept. Maybe not truly understanding but at least have a clearer idea now through all the discussions and thinking. Get to know a lot more bout buildings all over the world too, especially the great Jewish Museum by Daniel Libeskind. Gained a lot of useful and super valuable knowledge that we couldn't really get to learn and know in other classes. The thinking mind has been developed a little more. :D

I guess the best moment in this sem was the time going to Kellie's castle. I love trips and I like the journey inside the bus. I love the story behind Kellie's castle. I like getting out of the city. Beside, the other best moment is when I look around me, I found a lot of friends around me, working so hard together, encouraging each other, taking care of each other all these whiles. Suddenly feel so grateful and happy with all of them around. Of course and also my supportive family too.

Worst moment would be getting a "F" in the design project 1. aih. Then the stresses coming all over from all the other subjects in once. Then idea that was developed for quite a long time got banned during crit. The helplessness and the feel-like-giving up-feeling. Yes, the stress. It's kind of killing sometimes. But yet when we accomplished anyone of them, feel like I've learn and grow a little more again. Going through all these stress, made me become tougher a little more again. Seeing my friends around that was staying outside, not in their house, I somehow feel like I'm so blessed staying with my families. I wouldn't have the homesick feeling while feeling helpless over assignments.

If got chance I would like to go outside and study in the future, to feel most of my coursemates feel, I guess that would have make me become an even more tougher and stronger person. Would like to shout out to my friends here to give them some support here, to strive hard til the end of the sem, til the end of the course for our dreams... Never give up!

(Aww. but through all the sleepless nights, the skins and face condition got so much worsen, omg, gotta apply 100 layers of masks during holiday everynight. LOL )

Philosophy? I'm not sure whether I did have a philosophy or not. But I'm quite into the environmental issues. I think people should have care for the nature and Earth more. I would like to build all my buildings environmentally friendly, green buildings. Besides I would try my best to reach all the fragments of the pleasure of architecture in the last essays while designing, and applied the genius loci. *deeply in love and inspired by the last essay actually * Putting life into the building, having our own idea and feeling, concept with spaces. We must love our own design, with our own deep though expressed, only then people could feel it. Ouch, it's hard to reach that!

Work hard and work smart then. lol

The ambition of stage designer is still there. Just that I would like to strive my very best in becoming an architect as well. Architecture is so interesting and attractive to me after all, like another fantasy world, to be created. Yea, it's a tough path I know. I may be broke down one day, but for surely I must try my best to do everything to not having any regrets, for regrets did kill a person very sadly. lol.

All the best to my mates and myself!

=)

Thanks lecturers!. :'D
