Your Brain's Pattern

Your mind is a creative hotbed of artistic talent. You're always making pictures in your mind, especially when you're bored. You are easily inspired to think colorful, interesting thoughts. And although it may be hard to express these thoughts, it won't always be.

What Pattern Is Your Brain?

You Are Teal Green

You are a one of a kind, original person. There's no one even close to being like you. Expressive and creative, you have a knack for making the impossible possible. While you are a bit offbeat, you don't scare people away with your quirks. Your warm personality nicely counteracts and strange habits you may have.

What Color Green Are You?

You Are Dr. Pepper

You're very unique and funky, yet you still have a bit of traditionalism to you. People who like you think they have great taste... and they usually do. Your best soda match: Root Beer Stay away from: 7 Up

What Kind of Soda Are You?

You Are 32% Abnormal

You are at medium risk for being a psychopath. It is somewhat likely that you have no soul. You are at medium risk for having a borderline personality. It is somewhat likely that you are a chaotic mess. You are at low risk for having a narcissistic personality. It is unlikely that you are in love with your own reflection. You are at medium risk for having a social phobia. It is somewhat likely that you feel most comfortable in your mom's basement. You are at low risk for obsessive compulsive disorder. It is unlikely that you are addicted to hand sanitizer.

How Abnormal Are You?

You Should Be a Romance Novelist

You see the world as it should be, and this goes double for all matters of the heart. You can find the romance in any situation, and you would make a talented romance story writer... And while you may be a traditional romantic, you're just as likely to be drawn to quirky or dark love stories. As long as it deals with infatuation, heartbreak, and soulmates - you could write it.

What Type of Writer Should You Be?

Mood:over satisfied
Song:somewhere beyond the sea
Newest infatuation:arabian/lebanese food
Secretly craving:the above
Wish i were...

chocolate heaven. thats what u call the chocolate buffet as soon as u arrive. but after all the gluttony and the indulgence... its puke central.. or the cause of nausea.

ok maybe i over indulged, but when u spend that much you want to taste everything.

so we tried to be lady like and all classy, but i knocked the glass table while standing up and spilled tea and water... so sophistication was right out the window as soon as i arrived!

the best dish there was definitely the fondue and the hot choc... the bread pudding came a close second... also the tea was amazing... hmm im so sick of chocolate that i wont be recommending any cos the thought of it makes me pukish... nonetheless everything was awesome!
haha

right now, stuffed like a chocolate chicken, im craving for a taste of arabian food... or a vinaigrette salad.... something sour... to cut the taste of pukishness.

but all in all it was a memorable experience thats well worth it...:D although not something i would try again hahah...

next pitstop is thai food... although i wouldnt mind more arabian food! :D
i miss mama aidas. i want those shawarmas. i was so sad when they closed down. i havent tasted any shawarma of the likes of mama aidas....but the search goes on...

.breaks like glass.
thats wat i am right now. vulnerable. and prone to breakage.

CONCEPT>
1.technology of walls.
2.garden spaces for the new elderly
3.intergration with the existing urban fabric

SO far i've beem sketching up the wrong stuff. paying too much attention to the wrong things. mY building is dying and im worried about railings. thats freaking OCD.

ive got a stiff neck. a floating head. and i speak incoherantly. all because i seem to be concentrating on the wrong things.

what i need to do now:

1. adjust the floor to floor height
2. reduce the glass windows and skylights
3. create a garden foyer + facade
4. change the railings
5. revamp the roof and facade

things i need to concentrate on:

1. the importance of the facade to my design.
2. the contrasting of ONLY TWO types of architectural language.
3. simplify simplify simplify

this post was to combat brainfreeze and panic. which havnt gone away.

I love Google. It's true. I dream about Google, SketchUp,and other Google products. Google has taken over my life, answers all my questions, appeared as ads on my other blog and even seeped into my 3D CAD software. How is this even possible? I think it's a sign. Maybe i should marry Google. Goooooooogle i love you!

dreams in disguise

Mood:freaked out
Song: none
Newest infatuation: internet
Secretly craving: food
Wish i were...a student forever

ok so i have been spending too much time over the internet, detrimental to my project mind you, but thats the only way i take a break. ive set up a new blog, which i plan to update only on thursdays. apart from that ive been reading stuff about apple, google and dunno whos... mostly blogs actually. Quite a natural thing to do right? Heck its even helped me out with sketchUp. Ive found new components and better ideas on how to do stuff...

But its been giving me nightmares. Usually, a few weeks before submission i get nightmares about my design, but this time i get bad dreams about sketchup. It involves my design too, which i never finish, BUT, the majority of the dream involves sketchup and how that screwed up my design. Plus its always a problem solving sleep. So at the end of it, i aint refreshed. What the effing point is there of sleeping then, right? So here i am wasting many more priceless minutes throwing out all my anger so that i can get on with design. (note the avoidance of the word sketchup)

sleep|breaks like glass

adsense.nonsense

Mood:annoyed
Song:
Newest infatuation:anything but SketchUp
Secretly craving:food
Wish i were...smarter

I accidently clicked on the adsense thing on my other blog. now theres this ad just before my post asking people to donate to a small shrub and an ex pres! Man i'm so pissed. I like the blog 'clean' without any ads, just my little space. sigh. i want it to go away. go away. go away!!

Oh well anyways, i found this really cool rendering software thats's free! try searching for kerkythea on google. honestly i still havent figured out how to use it, but from the samples and tutorials it seems pretty cool for a free download. Hennyways, my stomachs growling and i need to SketchUp. agh.

adios

my web design skills (that suck)

to all the darlings who visit this blog (assuming that other people do visit, which technically doesnt make me schizo) i tried creating a page on dreamweaver... it took ages but looks so boring hehe... a caboodle of nothingness
although id love to do something like that for my blog...i wonder how to customise a blog tho.. i mean not use any of the default templates...

anyhows
im a going, going, GONE!

the green mile

Mood:so so
Song:9 million bicycles...
Newest infatuation:a full lead pencil
Secretly craving: honestly... nothing :)
Wish i were...someone yet no-one

The green mile for archi students is the last two weeks before submission. it is the most difficult time of the semester and it takes a whole lot of courage to go on. It like walking in a tunnel while everyone else is walking on the grass. its a do or die situation. if u dont do, u die cos its game over. but if u do, u die too. ur cutting short a few years of ur life by not sleeping, living under permanent stress, staring at the comp screen for hours, no exercise, no happiness...

but im going to miss all this. the routine of the semester. the big bad world looks like a scary place. i dont know why i made this decision. i sometimes wish i hadnt. but i guess its the only decision i could have made, and now that i have made a decision, i am going to stick by it. never regret anything u do. because there's always a lesson to be learnt from it, and life never ends there. it will only if u make it.

lately i havent been angry with the world, neither have i been upset with everyone around me. i honestly dont know how or what i feel. ive always not wanted to be a student, but now i want to be one forever. i hardly know what to expect from the world. im going to miss my frens... i dunno. i feel im cutting the whole experience short. but in the end its probably for the better. its a gut feeling that im riding on so i hope it right.

ok so much for the rambling...
the real world situation:
define the new elderly? who are they? what are their needs?
what will people want in the year 2010? will they want to go back to basics? or will they be so much in the future the past seems like the ice age....
my belief is that nature will always be wanted. whether people realise it or not, there will always be a need for the calming and therapeutic effects of nature. especially for the new elderly...

balancing nature with aesthetics, manmade nature and obviously, technology is the hard part. but its fun, and i have a great liking towards the concept of my project. i hope i can get all the drawings out to its benefit.

there is this eagerness and excitement to do well. and there is the fear, the hesitation, what if i make a mistake? what if i have to redo? what if its all wrong? but i think these are thoughts that need to be battled to reach the next level, and thats how it will all go on.... its problem solving, and by gosh the problems in my mind! haha

oh well since im all charged up now, im going
btw is talking to 'no-one', eg a blog, considered schizo?
i thnk thats what im doing..
well hail to the psychos, the worlds not complete without us
ta fer now yos
