quick one
so i've settled in office life. it keeps me occupied, which takes mind off stuff, but it can also b an anesthetic. when i don't get any tasks, which happens quite often, it can get quite boring. but dat aside, i always get thru a day learning something new n exciting. hopefully, i haf dat same passion for my work in future.
these days r kinda like an overdose of archi n structure. there's no such thing as a break from archi coz i'm exposed to spaces n places everywhere i go even after work. begun to finally appreciate modernism n some of our own buildings here which i used to dismiss as bad taste. as an art student, i haf treated my buildings as little projects of self-interest. from an architect's perspective, a project is a process of adapting to someone else's dream, n making sure dat u see it thru. feeling for something, having the passion to want to design a fantastic shopping mall or hotel, is difficult coz it may something u may not naturally feel for. dis, i believe, is an added challenge to the architect. then there r other stuff. vitruvius summarized the tenets of architecture very succintly; firmness, commodity, delight. of course the structure shd look pretty, but it shd work as well as it is beautiful. so there r many dimensions to a structure. just compare dis wif the analogy of getting a girl, n u'll most probably get the picture. i'm too lazy to descibe dis in detail, so if u catch my balls, gd for u. if u don't, well.....u'll probably catch them some day, don't worry.
kris, wei jie, tianwei, pris, n eud came over to my house for a bbq on sat. was realli fun. strangely enuff, all the hangover symptoms quickly unfolded after i stopped drinking, n i woke up the next morning feeling perfectly normal. sunday was kinda bittersweet. had a short reunion wif my godparents n sean.
on to other matters, i finally decided to edit n update the template alittle. dats liebeskind's proposal for the freedom tower to replace the wtc. every architect's dream. off to dreamland. office life is quite unhealthy so i'm waking up early tmw for a run b4 wk.
