New Year with New Resolution

Hello all,

It seem pretentious to have a serious topic on such jovial day. Jovial today being April 1st and a Friday. Nevertheless it is never to late to re-think about one's goal in the short term.

Maybe in architecture there is no such thing as 'New Resolution'. Resolution sounds like a destination rather than a journey, a dot rather than a line. In architecture, a Development sounds more familiar. Development gives us a picture of a continuing progress, which is encouraged to arrive at one's idea. Or in this case, one's destination.

So what is your New Development for 2011?

Mine would be:

1. Documenting my travel into this blog, as I have been home to Malaysia in February and made a short visit to Singapore as well. As well as some other places in Victoria, Australia last year.


2. More design!!! I am even willing to do it for free. Maybe make a group of engineers, surveyors and other consultants too?


3. Sketch more design ideas on my own. I have started this by having a small sketch book and a set of handy markers.

Share about your New Development for 2011. Cheers!

I Missed the April Fool!

In Australia, you are supposed to set the trap in the morning, before midday then tell the jokes after in the late afternoon. Well, if this is wrong, I'll pass the blame to my friend who told me. Anyway, since I haven't been tricked for years, I am grateful for this and the years to come.

Because I am doing my wish list.


1. Blackberry Bold - ooooooh sexyness of men will be easily obliterated once I've got my hands on this piece. So beautiful, bountiful of goodies with it and it is NOT Nokia.



2. Europe - i don' mean I want to buy Europe but I really want to go to all the good places and spend time there, say 2 months of sightseeing and 3 months of architect apprenticeship. Ooooh, how I wish someone would sponsor me to work in Europe. 3 months would do. Just 3 months. Oh, I have also a long list things to do and places to visit in Europe so whether I like it or not, I have to save up from now.

3. Car - I need one. Period. Refer my previous posts.

4. More books from Amazon.com - I wish I could post all of my Wish List in here but someday will come when I have enough money to buy the books and then buy the shelves for the books and then buy a house to house the shelves to put the books in.



5. Scuba Diving - I am soooooo motivated into underwater photography so I might want to invest in a scuba diving course. I am going for the Open Water Course and perhaps move on to one of the special courses that they offer. PADI certificates are certified around the world so that is handy! Who would not like to touch the clown fish? NEMO!!!! (pic courtesy of www.dsexls.com)

Top 5 at the moment. Will need more posts too. ahhhhh
See u all!
