i find my current assignments given to me too rigid. There's a structure to it , strong, firm. I find it monotonous. I want to see more life and fluidity. It seems that they only want us to play within a cooking pot.

I want to play in a sandbox, not Disneyland, not a cooking pot.


i want to explore more about me growing as a designer, not merely doing the everyday builder job scope. Am i over thinking stuff? i guess i am not.

finished about 60% of my model. A plethora of quetions popped up in my mind.

since i changed my design in the very last minute, i did not have any crit for this particular design of mine.

1.) Does a shelter necessary mean i must have a roof??? Shelter can be a refuge of a place of rest also. right?

2.) what i created does not seem so architecture architecture. Should i still go for it? hmm..wondering...





but i have some thoughts, if i dont play with volume and design and my imagination, crazinesss...can i possibly do something that crazy again? Valuable aspects to be thought of. Englighten me..

a lot happened in this short day. frustration, dissapointment. at the end, i just realized something, i have allowed all these negativity to suck away all my happiness and joy of model making.

Architecture to me should potray personality. It should be loud. There should be joy.



i want to be happy and you know what? i think im gonna start to play with fire this time.


Fire. Fire. Fire...hahaha



It burns.



I am crazy.

finally back at Ipoh for the CNy break. Its good to be at home and somehow the atmosphere kinda inspires me. Its comfortable, breezy, its easy..like bossa nova...listening too much music these days.

i'm somehow thinking of a secluded area. a tranquility and serenity , innocence i wanna insert in my following studio assignment. May Nature inspire me again.



CNY is not going to be just any other holiday. Its gonna open my eyes.

so, Work babe work. Looking forward to see my fellow comrade's work.


happy CNY...for a better year, a more fruitful process , and a breezy flow.

Theres so much i wanna share in this post. i wanna thank Him for all the blessings i received. Blessed are those who are humble for the gates of heaven are all theirs. This is my final presentation.

and i titled my board " Heavenly Chic"


Tun Rusli wanted our boards to be in monochrome.I was fine with that. And when he set the background as Black. i was like : 'oh no'. I prefered white as its always easier to paint on white instead of on black. And when he set all the limitations of the board. I was terrified. Since the last semester, i learnt to be wild, to be set free. Now, knowing that this bird is gonna be locked in its cage just gave me a sad look.


However, i knew i had to play with the boundaries set by others. Limitations could be either a WOW or a LOW. i had to be confident mine would be a WOW. Its gonna be heavenly chic babe..

throughout this entire assignment , a type of flow inspired me. Its like water, this creative juice flowing across me and most of my products are unintentional. Its a flow. and i like it.

I saw the leaves on the ground, so i thought of a nest. i saw fabric, so i cut it into pieces. i saw birds, so i wanna do feathers. i saw some wire and so i manipulated its shape and i got a cage-like structure. i though i could only see monochrome in my eyes, but i added some Red to give a dash of boldness.


I really like my end-product. i really do.

















Throughout my presentation, i did mention i saw a lot of CK products-alike. but like Lee, i wanna be different, eccentric and follow my heart. thats all.


i am a student, and i want to seek for more.



He is Good. He gave me a Gift. He can take it Away Anytime.
So, i value it. Thank you


ps:// dreaming for my next assignment

And there is it, my final model. completed it rather early, on Wed . really happy with the end product. though its not my 1st design, but it grew and developed. Now i understand that sometimes, good design need not be too rigid, like ecoule, it flows. Sometimes, we can even play with the material, manipulate the shape, do something opposite what you intend to do.

and here, i came out with my baby product. Its almost swan-like, dove-like.Its just so peaceful and so serene. Its beautiful by its own, but i wanted to create different images with different moods to accentuate the ambience and enhance my design.

There you go ecoule.

my sketches as it later evolved and developed. Initialy, i was thinking like a blossoming flower

then , using wire, i make my skeleton glueing it with hot glue gun

i bought this beautiful fabric chiffon and intended to drape it around grecian goddess like..but i had another plan in mind

Like pleats, i experimented with the fabric and slowly this technique developed.

i wanted to make something else to compliment with my chair...i was thinking.

playing with shapes



and there, a new life is born to compliment with my chair
