potato bacon: potato rolled wif bacon. using nutrious milk dough. - $1.20 frm sun moulin

Ive been thinking about design again.

In the even of floods and monsoons, I am reminded of this community of people in India. As I was told they live as a village by a river. Their houses, made from mud and wood provide shelter for their families, safe for their livestock and limited belongings.
Every year during the monsoon season these mud houses would be washed away. These inhabitants of the once life giving river would have to pack up and move up to higher ground to set up home again. After the monsoon season passes the Indians will once again move back down to the river. And theses resilient people do it every year, over and over.

Ive never seen this place for myself, only heard of it from a distant source, however it sounds possible.

First thoughts were why would anyone want to repeat building their homes over and over, year after year. Doesnt seem very smart. However, ill suppose the river brings about extremely fertile soil for farming and rearing livestock. And each year as these farmers have their homes washed away, the monsoons also carries away the old, nutrient depleted, soil. And along with it comes new grounds for tilling and ranching.

So lets suppose this is the reason for the Indians to keep returning to the river.

Now these city free Indians are now experts in mud house construction since they do it every year. Im sure throughout the years theyve improved in their methods of building mud houses. They must also have their own ways of transporting families, livestock and possessions. Maybe even building materials.
Dont think any designer could match their knowledge in temporary and limited resource constructions.
Also these homes that they create would probably be in their simplest form – ‘minimalist design’.
And nothings stopping them from personalizing each home, wouldnt you? I think, here in the city, we call it interior design. (I dun believe in interior design but thats another issue for another time.)
How then would they device means to transport their annual move of homes, or their methods of recognizing the time to start moving? We have so much to learn.

Design problems, solved by solutions of non-designers, which are likely to prove themselves more efficient and effective than the produce of a pampered, city spoiled designer. Makes me wonder how any self respecting designer can feel happy producing rubbish on paper, which gets haggled down to rock bottom prices, sells it for peanuts and pat him/herself on the back and say “I also can design what” and eventually kill the market for design.

I once heard a comment that design was suited only for the rich. Ive always thought it was flawed but could never find what was wrong with it since it had some truth in it.
With the short discussion above, I now think design is suited only for extreme circumstances, extreme poverty or extreme wealth – monomaniacal culture.

cremosa lolli by chupa chups -$my frnd bought me one... it was goot!

lets see... too long since ive last had a post... and i prolly take even longer to post again.



well im pretty much full of complaints. which i wld really hate to put down in a journal. to forget is better. also since my com is becoming absolutely buggy im beginning to hate coming online...



ive got eighty five post... or so the new blogger system says... my cousin on the other hand has like 240 post... mad. bah never wasa dairy person anyways.











oh yea... im looking for a name for my baptism coming up next mth. wld appreaciate name suggestions that fit between edwin and tan.











i dont hold on to my memories anymore... letting them slip eases the pain of each day. living a day at a time has its prices, learning not to complain hides my agony. wld almost hav made dronehood but i still dream.



im still me, no love for this nation.

wanton mee, canteen b, deport rd camp -$2.00

its been 2 wks since i enlisted and things have become rather repetitive. it isnt all bad that things are repetitive... after all i dun expect to do more than grunt work given the miserly amt i recieve each mth. still mundane jobs are never my cup of tea. and things arnd the office are still at unrest, wif the regulars retireing and the auditors comming...



its not all bad though, ive got rid of my dark eye rings and became plumber. haha fora skinny boy like me putting on 4kg is a goot thing.

also had enuff time to go down to a road show and got the "n-gage". turned out to be a rather approps choice for an avid gamer.



nowsadays i try as best not think of anything futher then tmr... its kinda nice to be living one day on its own. my father always said its the habits of a hopeless individual... but i think its less stress not hopeless. still got alot i wanna do, includeing a new skin for this page... but thats gotta wait till things settle, soon i hope.



MAY spelt backwards is YAM!

copan butter toast -$2.00

it was after church/campus meeting and then dinner, while we were walking frm marina square to the esplanade, when an array of fireworks burst into the sky.



fireworks.



"ntuc" was was celebrating the completion of their new building, and threw a carnival (actually it was more like a dressed up par sa malam) along the bay side of the esplanade.

the fireworks were part of that celebration. it was such an elaborate display of colours and and array of lights, the fireworks launched during national day parades were put to shame...



ive never had such a close view of fireworks.



i remember playing sim-city, and in there, one way to heighten the spirits of ur citizens was to use fireworks. i always wondered how some rockets and explosives PoPs could make the mass happier... dint think it made sense until today.

well its funny how after watching a series of flashes and lights in the sky can make me feel light hearted, and almost grand... my frnds and felt likewise.



i guess we'ld never know the splendid effects of fireworks till we see it for ourselves...



spirials to star-burst, it was truly a beautiful way to light up the stuff night sky. now i think fireworks are an absolute necessity when i come to celebrations... i noe ill hav them for my celebrations.



PoP!

swiss chocolate mousse at the tarven -$8.00

haha... it did not work out... all those listed things to do and my attempt at a nice post in my journal on buses jus abt failed totally...



but im happy i dint bother to make them work out...



my last days of being absolutely idle at home. i managed to get that md of mine fixed, complete ffX and spend more time wif my friends, my brother and my mom. i suppose the first and last of those thing were the ones that really mattered.

and im glad i dint go rushing to do lots, since being stressed was the last thing i wanted to be.



also, there hav been alot happening in my head this few week past. ive changed my mind on many things, and whilst im not at all comfotable wif these changes i hav/wanna make i think its necessary... at least dire to me.



prolly speak differently now, scary.



now enlisted in to ns, working at central manpower base, im starting to clean up my life... no more late nights - will get rid of those dark eye rings. no more wakeing at 2pm gotta wake at 6am, actually read the bible in the mornings now... im working, meeting lottsa pple.

on the whole, the section im placed in and pple im placed wif are pleasent. i wld like to say that ive been praying abt this big change in my life and surely my God did not let me down. cld hav said it was luck that got me this far, but crediting luck wld be idiotic and rediculas after wat ive seen/experienced.



well, work can never beat idleing on my ps2, but not im in position for greater stuff, and much more.

hav u watched the passion? hope u see Jesus.

wild mushroom soup -$18.00

well its abt time i wrote something. i suppose i really feel like complaining abt drone city but i will refrain!



my main mode of transport used to be the trains when i was still schooling. it was a real pain to ride in this tube fill wif anxious sweaty commuters rushing off to work in the mornings... and depressing to be coming back wif tired stinking shoppers, blue collar workers and other misc stinky pple - out of which, i cld swear, emitted a cloudy haze arnd them invisible to the naked eye. like a mirage, light bends thro these fields... yuck.

but recently ive been using buses. 97 to church nad 176 to work. comparatively it is a joy o be riding the bus... one get to sleep, eat, drink and stare out the huge windows.



well bus rides are funner. i cant wait to bring a camera to the bus stops.

canadian oyster at the tarven, each -$3.50

sometimes even though u noe how somthing undesireable is gonna happen and u kinda prep urself for it, it still sucks all the same when it actually happens. enlistment for national service is upon me... i hope i get thro it fast.



i felt i shld make a note of wat i want and might do before enlistment. so here goes.



-gotta get my md fixed. rec a all rock md along wif lottsa other message tapes.

-mom wants me to get her a walkman... for msg tapes.



-participate in a design competition abt chinese opera and stuff too late i guess...

-tot of learing how to stitch up my own pair of jeans not gonna happen...



-still need to get that pair of jeans fixed.



-the pictures of israel really need to be done... soon...

-wanna redo this web page of mine... it needs a new look... its very boring now... im sooo jaded wif this layout!!!



-ffx! oh man... to sidequest or not to... but that can wait. i think.

-ffx2 is gonna wait a really long time...



-i wanna hav a good long meal wif my buddies b4 i go in. aii...

-shld meet up wif some pple b4 i go in... hav coffee or somehting.



-wanna go sport-climbing but its very unlikely that ill even get to see a useable rock wall...

-oh theres this powerpoint thing i doubt ill get to finish... but i ought to keep that listed.



-haha and theres learn freehand and learn flash... but i think that will only work out when i get a new computer.

the hope of gg to Japan makes it worth living...

chicken drumstick, rice and sauced vegatable -$3.50

its been three yrs since the uncle, who sells chicken rice, set up his stall a few blocks from my house.



for the last three yrs ive been patroniseing his stall regulary... after all when ive nothing better on the menu i usually settle for chicken rice...

today on one of my regular runs down for lunch, this chicken uncle told me that he will hav to close down his store due to bad busines as a cause of recent happenings. i guess all that hype abt bird flu and health matters took its toll on chicken businesses in singapore.





sidenote: my lecturer who jus gone to shanghai said that the pple of china still continue their regular consumption of chicken. kfc isnt slacking in business and restuarnts dont leave out chicken in their menu... so seriously the bird flu is dangerous but also given in to too much hype.





well it will be weird to hav no chicken rice stall to go to in the afternoons... and being a regular customer has ts perks too... better portions, more rice and discounts on every purchase. kinda hard to accept something that ive taken for granted to stick arnd for the next five yrs wld so suddenly be removed.



i will miss the chicken rice stall... the smiling uncle... his weird wife who always glares at pple... the fact that if im too lazy to cook or go out of lunch i cld jus settle for chicken rice... and most of all, that they were there for the duration of my poly yrs (which i love the most).

its isnt an important part of my life... its is however, a very big part of my everyday routine.



funny... all things good and bad has its time frame of exisitence. the end of this stall reminds me that i too wld be stepping into a new phase of my life. i can only think for to day cos the future is a constant nagger and the past is too heavy a burden to bear.



i only hav jesus to trust.

pear flambee, serves 2 at The Tarven -$24.00

the is safety in the council of friends... how true...



in the recent happenings ive been very stressed... and pressured... kinda put me in touchy mode.

design and its issues hav always been close to heart. and not jus close to heart, also very misunderstood.

i was gonna blow my top... and go all out ona kamakazi rush to chide all liveing beings that made my life as a designer hell...



pukingcoldblood.



but after talking to a few pple... and lastly my care grp leader... i realised that being angry at my pple who dont noe anyhthing abt design really isnt gonna help my future.



im convinced that ignorance prevails among the larger part of non-designers.



to most, designers speak greek (or at least it has become a popular belief). besides, it wld also prolly result in more misunderstanding amongst designer and non-desginer. nobody wld truly understand a designer's pain. but in hope, they can see a difference in good work and crap. so i guess its really up to my God to change their minds; and im gonna stick arnd to see it happen, playing the low key.



all in all im glad that i finally hav a release in pressure. now i noe wat to do... its a risk but i feel a peace that comes wif the decision. ya... aii. between vengence and hope i choose the latter.



for better tmrs.

haha! i coloured my hair on friday the thirteen. its was good. and so much more since i got and 30% taken off my total cost. haha im still smiling looking at the colour. sunny's great wif hair.



also ive found the song im looking for. lisa ono singing "La Vie En Rose". i think the rest of her work is fantastic too... jus that it seem like ive known the tune to this one since forever. i think its really good jazz, but thats jus my biased opinion, in the albumn "Lisa Ono Dans Mon Île".



well no dates today.

jooseng teochew porriage: porriage/rice -$free

its the 9am in the morning... i was gonna wake up at 10am to do a drawing necessary as poster...

however once again im rudely awakened but some idoitic situation.



im very fustrated but things such as this...



today my brother was gonna be a few minutes late for sch and he refused to go. and u noe why? cos the school threatened that reciving four late records would grant a studet caning. im really bothered that my brother is afraid of sch...



wasnt the concept of secondary/primary school to have a child learn and develop necessary skills and find his/her passion in carreer? i dun think developing fear and a detest for studying is something a sch shld be offering...



maybe in defence the sch might say, being puntual is an attribute that every student shld aquire and have... and they might go on to say how necesary it is in the working world. but i say its crap... sure its important to be punctual... but more importantly, is for the sch to instill a desire to learn which im sure that superceeds wat ever mambo jumbo "mottos" the sch might want to hold on to... we go to sch to learn to learn and not learn to be the topdog...



i hate the society's systems... its rubbish.



and on the point of being punctual, im sure the members of the disciplinary committee who have so wilfully decided on such a "law" to be passed are most of the times late themselves... common, a singaporean never late? unheard of. i think its absolutely foolhardy... if any of u teachers of my brother dare pat urself on ur backs, let it be a pat to ur deaths.



jus dun think its right this way... ARGGGG! hell... jus not the right wat to live...

enuf said.



2 art lectures and ive gone thro impressionsm and modernism(expressionism, fauvism, cubism). indeed as the times turn cosmopolitan and metropolitan, the amount of pressure one recieves throughout a life time grows steadily. pent up fustration's and carefully conceled anger instilled with in many who dwell in the city...



i prefer the darker paintings... the ones that speak of a love of life yet wif morbid expectations...



wif impressionsm i think van gogh is fantastic... whilst his use of colour is often complementary and bright, he manages to evoke a sense of emptyness and loss of hope... turning brightness into a glare and the ability to put so much of his present feelings/thoughts in to his paintings is absolutely remarkable. i mean how does one concieve to do such?!



edvard munch during the times of expressionism fits the term "expression" accurately. his works are mostly characteristically dark and morbid, said to be a reflection of his less than fortunate childhood. "the scream", prolly his most popular piece, is one that effectively evokes a response in its audience. i think the ability to paint such takes much more than the ability to paint photolike pictures...



i used to think that photo quality paintings were the most dfficult to achive and absolutely fantstic (prolly cos my father expeced me to learn such when my mother enrolled me into drawing class). now i think they are difficult to do and not worth the effort... after all if one paints, its shld speak more than wat a mechanised box wif a pinhole can do.



last, but certainly not least is cubism... in the lecture we were only introduced to pablo picasso and his works that fit into cubism. i think cubism is awesome and very fun to do... i feel its alot like deconstrution or atleast the process is rather similliar. drawing more than one facard of a subject in one's painting is intersting and since the paintings ride on a concept rather than a style, i like it so much more.



yup i love art class... wish my brother loves his class too.

jooseng teochew porriage: minced pork, crispy fish, kiam chye, stewed peanut, tou pok, juice -$14.00

havent touched blogger in a while... actually i have put quite a bit of things to do on hold... theres jus so many thing i wanna do b4 i get stuck doing national service.

ive got to do pics of jerusalem but not b4 i finish up wif the 2 sets of assignments i hav to do for church. then theres my rpgs that i wanna complete... on top of that are countless festivals along wif shopping needs. which is not all since i still wanna attend a class in sch and redo my html template.

well... its not wat a working person wld deem busy... and indeed im not at all tied up, jus that i wanna enjoy doing every one of these things ive put up for myself to do... and yea i almost forgot ive got to catch up on quite a bit of sleep...



havent felt like blogging very much either. in refrence to my penultimate entry, turns out that most pple either dint read it or were fine wif wat i said... all but one of my "frnds" who got really offended when he read between the lines and found something offensive in my writeing that i did not intend to leave... well even after confrontation he's still givin me the cold shlder... and yea, its a he im refering to. is my english that bad? really this isnt the first time ive encountered such a misunderstanding frm wat i typed... but never on my blog... jus make me feel reluctant to refresh the page sometimes... well i guess since toes have already been crushed, theres not much turnig back now... weird how pple can be angry wif u but not dare to explain their reasons for it, while all the time saying how important ur frndship is to them... weird... or isit jus me. aii...



its rather fustrating, prolly the reason y i like rock music so much... kinda beat the fustration in to tunes...



i havent talked abt this matter in a while... somtimes jus feel like bustring out curses and swears... but i suppose time will tell wat the hell is going on... i think i need to talk to God... aii...



well at least a journal is meant for writeing watever's on my mind... rite? if u think its offensive dun read it. it really was meant to be a personal thing. im not hollywood and i dun always write nice and crownd pleasing entries... yea and forgive the typos im in no mood to spell check.



i hope ill hav less entries like this one

ideboku fresh milk, 900ml air-flown -$9.80

never heard drums like yoshiki's... i mean hav u heard the beats on his drum?! its mind blowing!... never heard anything close to such devotion in music... hav u heard it? hav u?!!!!!!



im sooo hooked on X-japan, jus found out today how fantastic they were... haha im alittle late in finding out, but stilll im very hooked... its 3:40am, its raining outside, cool inside but i cant sleep! rusty nail and blue blood are jus too addictive... up till now ive heard that pair 3times over...



really gets ur adrenaline pumping... the drums are jus out of this world.



and yoshiki, the guy who plays the drums, is not the only one who give their music a cutting edge... toshi, on vocals, is jus utterly unique... his voice, a gift... simply fantstic! very sonorous, makes him sound like a choir rather than jus one man... guitarists pata and hide are a unbeatable pair... and the sound of the eletric-guitar is ever-beautiful. their solos never dissapoint.

its jus that the drumer, being so unique and matchless, steals most of the limelight...



u never heard j-rock till uve had X japan.

cherly geve me a sketch book... its got this velvet cover! i tot i was like some travel cluedo or somthing but a sketch book is better. i jus hope i actually learn to draw soon.





alrite ive stepped on eunf toes.







actually it really is/was more imporatant that u all came down and to celebrate my birthday...

thank u all for takin the trouble and comming down even on such and important day of celebrations...

it was really crutial that u all came since i invited very little and there really wont be a birthday if u guy dint make it.

the presents were jus icing on the birthday cake and icing is always good.... i like all the gifts i got because in them is embedded wat u think of me and that i actually exist in ur lives... really that is most important... the above scrunity is base only upon the product and not the gifts so pls dun mix up the 2. i dint.
