Studio trip : Singapore

Laselle college of arts. Especially built for the creative minds. They have an interesting green space in the middle but pity, it is kinda hot, the wind doesn't blew through the courtyard that much. A mistake in the orientation of the building maybe? Or maybe because of the construction site just next to it.

Universal Studio

(YES i went there again)

 this time totally PUAS because i rode on Battleship Galactica roller coaster 3 TIMES,

F YEAH \m/ all time favourite, the Blue ride aka CYCLON!

 But this time they have 'upgraded' the Red ride aka HUMAN with shoulder safety belt, last time there is only waist safety belt. So there is not much thrill as the previous one. I remembered the last time i rode that, i totally didn't like it because i felt like i can be thrown out of my seat

The Pinnacles @ Duxton, reminds me of Linked Hybrid

Rapid Prototyping Model

Using Rhino + Grasshopper, then we printed it at the Engineering Faculty, free of charge haha. 1 group of 2 members, so there are 15 models.

 

Overall of the models

This is mine & Farhah's. Simple, well it's because i don't know how to use Rhino, this is the best i could do.

The 1st since i left them almost 2 years ago

It has been a long time since i last sketch related to architecture, not manga.
So my sketches turns out to be quite rough, so don't laugh
Give my fingers a chance for em to keep on tuning

A day at the site

Couple of weeks ago i went to the site in Shah Alam with my boss and 2 of my officemates to see the process on how to build concrete footing on site.

Overall view of the site

It was raining earlier that day so rainwater was collected inside the formwork. But the contractor said its OK because by the time the concrete been poured into the formwork, the denser concrete will push the water out of the formwork.

Since it is a flat land and the ground condition is good, no piling is needed. 1st they pour the concrete one 'bucket' at a time and while doing that, a vibrator which looks like a thick hose will be put inside it. This is to ensure that there will be no air trapped inside the concrete so that when it dries, 'honeycomb effect' will not occur. Then after the formwork is full with concrete, all of the workers will move on to the next formwork leaving 1 worker to do the flattening and tidying works of the concrete surface. After that the concrete footing is left to dry.

 

Well it's not a crime for us to take a picture or two ^^

Nur Kasih + Karaoke

Yayness~~ last Friday, Kak intan once again belanja karaoke at Red Box Pavilion and a movie, Nur Kasih. The movie is OK. It would be better if they didn't make the plot-changes to soon. When we were getting started to feel the emotions then suddenly the plot and setting changes. I have to admit that sometimes i got confused as well because there is so much flashback and in the flashback there are more flashback. So u really have to concentrate. BTW i still don't like Nur with Adam. I want Nur with Aidil =(. It is so not fair to him... huhu.

After the movie ended we head straight to Red Box and sing our hearts out! It was so much fun~~ Thank you so much Kak Intan! ^^

Red Box~!

Last Friday night, Kak Intan belanja karaoke at the Red Box, Pavilion in celebration after 1 week full of stress and overnights at the office. Zaffri is the only male out there haha! since other males need to back early to their wifey~ It was my 1st time been here and oh-la-la~~ its like a VIP lounge, and the food.. super love it! Everyone let out their golden voice, except me who sounded like a dying duck who choked of chipmunk =_=

 

thanks so much Kak Intan! ur the nicest boss ever!

3rd week Raya

Friday, 1st October

Our 'brother' nextdoor made an open office day during lunch hour so we decided to help. It was kinda hectic since the tools were so few and so were the ladies. But we managed to get it all ready before the men came back from Friday prayers and also the guests that came after that ^^. Glorious food were served~~ nyum nyum.

Red's open house! Gladly he held it during nightime so most of us went straight there after work. It's safely to say that we were among the longest-staying guests at that time., and also the noisiest too! hehehe.

Saturday, 2nd october

1st stop, Munif's house! Red and I arrived quite late since we were from Ampang (plus the traffic jam of course~) while the others were already at Shah Alam. Munif's mum... OMG the homemade Cheese-Oreo cake and Chocolate cake is AWESOME!! the taste is exactly like the one we usually bought at Secret Recipe *.* Love it~~~~

Then we all headed to Lana's house, which was full with people! But as a result our tummies were full too, stuffed with all the marvelous food that were prepared for us ^^. Oh and welcome back Lana! She had to came back from Australia to finish her assignment, so she is going to stay for about 2 weeks.

After that we split up. I should be following them to Arep's house but i don't think i have enough time so i skipped his house. Sorry Arep~~~ =_=. With Munif as my leader, we went to Kota Kemuning area to Illi's house.. which supposedly should have been like a smooth drive-thru but the traffic makes me go nuts! As a result i was in a hella moody time when i arrived. Huhu good thing Illi understands.. and the food too. The meat yang Nafis panggang... SEDAP~ ❤

At night, Daniel and I went to Zaffri's open house which is like only 5 minutes drive from my house. But before that, i have to face a very awful traffic jam (again) heading home from Shah Alam. Gosh! I think I was more tired sitting in the car rather than tired visiting my friend's house! Oh by the way, the last time I saw Zaffri is when we were in Form 4. Wow Zaff, u were so slim and slender back then, now u got a round tummy! hehehe.

 Zaff seriously, u look like a dead-tired-Zombie here hahah!

 This is Daniel~ with his infamous big smiles

It's been 7 years right? Gosh~ padahal rumah sebelah taman je huk huk

I skipped 3 of my friend's open houses that day. i couldn't possibly attend all of them ;_;. U guys lived so far away! or is it me that is staying in a peculiar place? =_=

Sunday, 3rd October

I dragged my brother, Boy along with me to my officemate's open house which fortunately, her house is in Ampang as well. Thanks to my dad, i can just used jalan dalam and shortcuts, which i don't have to face the traffic at MRR2. After that, we head straight to MBO for movie time. We just randomly picked any movies that was airing during that time. hence we watched Alpha & Omega, which was kinda boring... i still think that Finding Nemo is still the best from this kind of animation.

Hmm.. that's all??? Don't know what to add anymore..
