City and Suuuushi ! :D

Well, today we went down to the city as it was so called predicted there was some kind of 'crazy' sale going on. So yeah, we hopped on the bus and went down to the city. Well yeah, there were more people than the usual but the sales, pfft it was still expensive :P I wanted to buy a sunglasses but somehow I don't suit in any design that my friends recommended to me :( Maybe I just can't wear sunglasses :(Yorktown Square.

Yeah, so we found some alley which housed a few shops. We went to some Card Castle and bought some cards ^^

lol, and we went back home without buying anything >_> What a SALE ! Oh well, at least Jasper, Augustine and I have planned that we were going to eat some sushi buffet tonight ! ^^ Looking forward to it. So at 6 something, I met them at the bus station and off we go ! :D

Well the sushi buffet costs $13.50 per person. Yeah, so we filled ourself with sushi >:)
Well, it wasn't that nice really...Penang's one still nicer >_> and the soy sauce..urghh disgusting :(

Coincidently, we met a friend who's in year 1 Architecture working there. The cool dude made us a few special sushi for us ^^ Ahh, aren't we lucky ? ;) It's always good to have a wide network of contacts lol :P

This was not on the menu. Specially made by a friend :)

And yeah after we ate and ate and ate, we decided to walk around the city as we were very full x_x. My stomach was gonna burst lmao :P And there I go burping all the way when I was walking. It was great lol. And so we decided to cam-whore for a while. Blame Xiao Per for the virus >_>

Unlucky day =(

Today's been such an unlucky day for me ! *whines*

First, I woke up late !! I was suppose to wake up at 10am but ended up at 2.30pm. ( yes I know I'm a pig >_> ). I was suppose to do my work ( got loads of them ) and I'm screwed T_T

Well, I was looking forward for a good lunch before I head to the Learning Hub. But bahh when I was cutting my veggies, I realised the stove wasn't working -.- FARKING HELL wasted my time and I have to keep all those veggies that was ready to cook in limited cointaners. As I was rushing out to get mee ( yeah had to eat instant noodles instead >_> ), I left my key card in my room......

What could be worse than locking yourself out and eating instant noodles for lunch !!!?? T__T

For those of you who have no idea what the key card is, it's like an access card to enter my room and house.

This is the little card that gave me lots of trouble though it looks cool -.-

And this would be the farking door that locked me out !!!!!

Well yeah, so I locked myself out and I had to walk to the Accommodation Services Office to get them to unlock the door for me. When I told her I've locked myself out, she said I had to pay $5 as fine ! I was like WTF $5 !!! O_O

And so we walked back to Leprena ( name of my hostel ) and opened the door for me so that I could get my farking card back. But she just went off without asking for the payment ! Talk about bad and good luck today !! Hybrid >:O

And so poor me had instant mee for lunch today... =(

My window view -.- It's covered with mosquito netting for your information.

And yeah, so I went to the Learning Hub after lunch and bump into my housemate ( his room is opposite mine )

He's a Penangite, has a degree in Architecture ( USM) and he's here for his Masters ! :O
Formerly of PFS (Penang Free School ) >:(

And he uses the same laptop as mine ! ^-^ Toshiba fans ! lol.

Before I end this, once again food of the day ! More like advertising now :P

This cracker is awesome ! Especially dipped with Salsa !

This is my baby !! And I'm almost done with it too :(

Last but not least, the picture of the day !

My two beloved cute sisters ;) ( single and available lol )

Thank you for reading, peepz. Ciao ! ^-^

Creation of a 'seating device'

LOL at the title ! :P

Before I present about my day ( so tai sai :P ), I'll give you guys a little introduction about The School of Architecture of University of Tasmania. The School is located at the Iveresk district ( known as the Art district ).

Inveresk

The School of Architecture. It was originally a tram warehouse and it was converted into an eco-friendly building housing the School of Architecture thus protecting the heritage of the building. Due to it's eco-friendly theme, the building has won many significant architectural award. The School was opened to her first batch of students in 2007.

The corridor in the School of Architecture. Magnificent eh ? ;)

The place where my class is usually held.


Lmao, a crane in the middle of a computer lab. This is part of the preserved heritage. Do notice that all the computers are Macs ;)

Ok, I'm done with the introduction. MOVE ON !!

Today during our Design Studio 1 class, we were given a project to design and install a 'seating device' in a designated area in front of our School of Architecture . My first few thoughts was like, wtf how are we suppose to design and build a chair in 3 hours !?? O_O plus, my group members were like not cooperative. The ang mos one gang and we and guo yi one gang ( Guo Yi is from KL, formerly Kuen Cheng High ;) ). We were sort of divided so it was not good at all :(

Firstly we have to brainstorm ourself to think of a design that will suit the environment around it. Cracked the nut for quite some time and our lecturer, Dr Catriona Mcleod told us it was about time to build our 'seating device'. I was like crap, we didn't even drew our design ! ( blame those fags >_> ). In the end, we went to search for suitable materials and BAMMM, spontaneously we fixed up some junk out. With a little modification from top to bottom, it turned out not bad ^^ To think that we didn't even actually designed it in the first place and it ended up to be beautiful and not to mention comfortable !! ^-^

Then, we placed our couch ( yes, we made a couch but just no cuishions :P ) in our designated area and hulala, it was perfect ! Sort of >_> . The breeze and the awesome view we picked was the perfect cast with the way couch was designed ! Here's are a few pictures of our progress.
