Little Whisper

Time is like a naughty child, keep running without feeling any fatigue.
I could never stop it down.
What I can do is chasing after it, over and over.
At first, I could only feel excruciation and helpless because I never learn how to adapt my pace to it.
I locked myself in a black box and struggled to be free.
But I never be alone.
Those I love and those who love me, they are my motivation.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I had forgotten since when I developed an interest in interior design.
Maybe during childhood, the time I could express my imagination through scribbles.
A child's thought is always the purest and straight forward.
Maybe I already tied up myself with it at that time.
During teenage, I still fond of it.
There is a whisper inside my mind: JUST GO AND GET IT!
Perhaps that is why I'm here, left my home and came here just to realize my childhood dream.
It is my determination and I will never look back.

RUS104 studio course would be the most unforgetable subject I had ever took so far.
From the first project until the final project, there are so much memories and meaningful to me.

First time sketching my own self portrait that I would never ever do for myself.
It was the first time I looked at my face for so long just to catch the feeling.
It was strange and funny, but when I looked deep through my eyes, I saw sparkling in them.
And I know, I will keep going on no matter how hard it will be.
I will be grumble and irritable, yet I still continue with it.

The following projects had trained me to be physically and mentally strong.
The time given for projects was always not enough for me.
I am slow in getting inspiration and have a high criterion on myself, therefore I often stress up and upset about it.
When the projects became bigger and more complex, the time I spent became more and often stay up late or being sleepless.
Finally I understood what Dean had mentioned during the interview briefing this May.
HBP- 'Hantu Balik Pagi' or else, The Ghost In the Dawn.
Be prepared to be sleepless if you want to be a HBP-ian.

Let's Learn About Architectural Lettering If You Want To be A Designer

First Lesson In Design Class: Learn How To Write A rchitectural Lettering If you think the first lesson in design class is something about design theory/ philosophy or probably some sketching, you are definitely wrong! If you want to be a designer or architect, your handwriting couldn't be sucks!  First of all, practice your handwriting, not freehand writing, but architectural lettering. Eventhough our drawings nowadays depend on AutoCad and some other softwares, in the past designers were drawing manually and therefore neat handwriting is crucial. Maybe You Will Be wondering: What Is An Architectural lettering? It is expected as a designer or architect that all blueprints, drawings and designs have architectural lettering. This lettering was established ages ago by architects so that all writing on blueprints were legible therefore costly mistakes would not be made. Practicing this lettering is still a necessary part of the curriculum in most architectu...

Mind Maps, Mood Boards, Conceptual Models, Renderings

Back to second year. Unlike the first year where all the newbies studied the same courses together, we were separated into our majors in second year. Mine was interior design. Well, a brand new year. We moved to second year interior design studio (a small studio just to fit 20 persons) and we got new studiomasters! (as we have our studio project as the main subject, we called the lecturers as studiomasters, masters who lead the studio) So, how to start a design? Do mind mapping. Take a subject and start to elaborate about it. The core is to think.  After brainstorming, choose three design elements and principles that could make the design works. Design elements: point, line, shape, form, space, color and texture. Design principles: balance, proportion, perspective, emphasise, movement, pattern, repetition, rhythm, variety, harmony and unity. A simple example: start with flower as the subject, we can elaborate into colour (design element), organic shape(design eleme...

Presentation Drawings

This is something I never expected. Blueprint,  a technical drawing that acts as a plan or model.  It documents an engineering or architecture design. Examples of blueprint: I need to draw the blueprints of 'THE HEXA' that I had done in the previous project! It is a very tough job as the design is quite complicated. Gotta pull up my socks to finish the project in time. Plan, front, rear, left and right view Two point perspectives to draw out 'The Hexa' with a human figure to indicate the scale                 Axonometric Drawing- isometric which is in 30 degree elevation Colour with Alpha Water Colors PS: I made mistakes in the drawing: the furniture should have some thickness to indicate its volume.  It is learning process anyway.
