First train home,



So last week, i spent my monday's evening at Imogen Heap's Australia concert! I was really excited for her gig as ive being her mini-Asian fan ever since ive heard of 'Chasing Cars' & 'Hide & Seek', a few years back! Just in case, you guys dont know who she is, she is one of the member of a British electronic  music duo- Frou Frou. And if you still have no clue who they are, then (which im pretty sure most of you guys would have heard of) do you guys remember one of Jason derulo's popular song- "Whatcha say"? Well, the catchy part where the lyrics go : " mhm.. whatcha say...", this part was originated from Imogen Heap's 'Hide & Seek' song. Anyway, she is really a talented singer. I was totally blown away by her voice. Her voice range is extremely powerful! It sounds even better than the original version played on the disc! To further prove how awesome she is, Imogen was " forced" to play a different version of one of her song due to technical problem. Like i mentioned before, her songs sang live, sounds really good. She is definitely one of the singers that i would recommend everyone to listen to! 

Easter weekend had already started.. and ive so much to do, but so little time
but fret not, i'll still update the blog as frequent as possible, so please dont stop 
clicking to this webpage! 

ps: still cant believe Prince William is getting married this friday!

Hi, everyone! The first 'candidate' that i've got the honour to interview is no other than my real, hilarious friend- Angeline Wong! We've known each other for close to 3 years, and she is really one of the most awesome, close friends that I have. She is always there for me, no matter what. On days that im feeling extremely stress or depressed, she will always bbm me with a really funny text that i cant help but laugh.  Therefore, ive decided to interview her, and let everyone meet this beautiful and awesome girl. To also experience her 'bitchiness' and 'hilarious' personality!

My door looks awfully sad right now because we don't have our doormat. Also, it's not legit!!! There was this pair of flip flops next to my doormat, why did the person take the doormat? Why not take the pair of Flip Flops? It will be of so much use instead of a door mat right? I don't get it. It's not the first time this happened!!! Also, the doormat's not attractive! ARGH.

Q: Okay, if you're getting married next week, which 3 people do you want to invite about this news first? 
A: HAHA, NOT FALLING FOR IT!!! This is totally a trick question and you want to see your name on it. So here it goes!

The klein bottle house, Mornington Peninsula,Australia


The essence of the design of the Klein Bottle is originated by mathematical concept of the mobius strip. The uniqueness of this structure is that despite the fact that it appears so unevenly, the klein bottle topologically remain the same. This idea is similar to the concept of twisting a donut, but it still remaining topologically the same. I was being introduced to this magnificent and intriguing edifice, last week in my design studio by my tutor. It is just breathtaking just by looking at the sight of it. This, indeed, has to be one of the the most avant-garde homes design ive ever come across! 


 
(Source: laceandteaarchdaily)  

Located at just an hour and a half drive from Melbourne- Morning Peninsula, this beach house is situated within the tee-tree on the sand dunes and a short distance from the wild 16 beach. This particular holiday house is interesting as it does not just look like any other sophisticated, traditional houses you can find, effortlessly, by just googling it. It also appears to others, as an construction of a life size origami design. On the other hand, my tutor commented that some of her colleagues mentioned that it looks a bit like " sketch-up gone wrong!". What fascinate me even more, is the fact that the interior design is also shaped with the same concept. The endless layering and folding causes the house to have no definite side to label as the external surface or the intramural part.  

"Its endless, curling shell-like quality particularly in the tee tree brings about a comforting togetherness."- Archdaily. 

One of the reasons that im aspired to be an architect is that architecture is a form of art to express the designer's creativity, experiences and their own individual distinctiveness. But last but not least, to improve the living of the people. Its like fashion, but displayed in a different form- building! 

If any of you, readers, have any other similar innovative architectural designs, do share it with me! I would love to be more exposed to more of such designs!
