Something to share again.. I read The Star and came across the news about the Batik Fashion Design Contest held in KL. The Vonjolly team had won the contest. One of their creation which I found the best was this dress named Drape. It is a half shoulder gown with thigh-high slit. The base colour which is light blue provides a sense of purity, whereas the warmer colour blends perfectly while flowing downwards diagonally from the left thigh to the right foot. The model looks elegant in that particular dress that reveals her beautiful long leg. ; )





"LOVE ME TENDER," says Faustino


       


I read about this architect, Didier Fiuza Faustino in the library and was impressed by his creations, especially this metal chair by the name of 'Love Me Tender'. This monolithic chair possesses a minimalist and simple design. The legs of the metal chair are sharp at the ends. To me, it looks unfriendly and threatening because of its spear-like legs and its rigid metal body. On top of that, the slimmer bottom of the chair levitates the entire body and gives it a sense of weightlessness.
As a matter of fact, I am attracted by the design of this chair but not the comfort that it can possibly provide. I am pretty sure that it is not a comfortable object to rest on.  =]

* Came across this article from a forum and I found it to be very true. Here it sounds... 

你们可能相爱过,你们也可能喜欢着彼此,
但是,为了什么原因你们没能在一起?
也许他为了朋友之间的义气,不能追你。
也许为了顾及家人的意见 ,你们没有在一起。


也许为了出国深造,他没有要你等他。
也许你们相遇太早,还不懂得珍惜对方。
也许你们相遇太晚,你们身边已经有了另一个人。
也许你回头太迟,对方已不再等待。
也许你们彼此在捉摸对方的心,而迟迟无法跨出界线。


不过即使你们没在一起,你们还是保持了朋友的关系。但是你们心底清楚,对这个人,你比朋友还多了一份关心。即使不能跟他名正言顺的牵着手逛街,你们还是可以做无所不谈的朋友。他有喜欢的人,你口头上会帮他追,心里却不是很清楚你是不是真的希望他追到。


他遇到困难时,你会尽你所能的帮他,不会计较谁又欠了谁。男女朋友吃醋了,你会安抚他们说你和他只是朋友,但你心中会有那么一丝的不确定。每个人这辈子,心中都有过这么一个特别的朋友,很矛盾的行为。一开始你不甘心只做朋友的,但久了,突然发现这样最好。


你宁愿这样关心他, 总好过你们在一起而有天会分手。
你宁愿做他的朋友,彼此不会吃醋,才可以真的无所不谈。
特别是这样,你还是知道,他永远会关心你的。做不成男女朋友,当他那个特别的朋友,有什么不好呢?你心中的这个特别的朋友...? 是谁呢?


很多的感情,都因为一厢情愿,最后连朋友都当不成了,常常觉得惋惜,可惜一些本来很好的友情,最后却因为对方的一句喜欢你,如果你没有反应,这一段友情似乎也难以维持下去,这也难怪有些人会因此不肯踏出这一步。


因为这就像是一场赌注,表白了之后不是成了男女朋友,要不就连朋友都当不成了。有些事不是你能预料的,或许对方不在意,你们还可以是朋友,但却已经不如从前的好。也是可惜,也是遗憾!但还有没有可能是另一种情况,你可能永远都不甘心只是朋友. . . . .

Heart-warming... Heartrending...


I came across these two photos from the net. Liked them very much. The contrast and content of these two photos show a sense of warmth and also empathy. A picture paints a thousand words. Need not any description or captions about them, I am sure that you are able to feel the implicit emotion in them.

Missing anyone now..?

BELIEVE IN ARCHITECTURE





            This is what I came up with in my first attempt using Photoshop. This was produced by using only the basic tools as i am still not familiar with the software. I tried to enlarge it in Xanga but it appeared blur.
            'Believe in Architecture' - I came across this phrase during a class last week. It was mentioned by my lecturer. I agreed with what he said. "If you really want to excel in architecture, you have to believe in it, and have passion in it."
            To believe is to have faith in. I treat architecture as if a religion. Religions are usually mythical and spiritual. Therefore, I deliberately created a mythical, mysterious, soulful and dark background, in order to compromise with the theme 'Believe in Architecture'.
            On top of that, I had randomly chosen a few well-known buildings. Some of these creations are among my favourites. All of them possess unique concepts and significance, outstanding in form, and have their respective aesthetical and historical values.
             (Clock-wise from top right): Roof of the Chrysler Building, The Louvre Museum, Petronas Twin Towers (Malaysia Boleh! But how come built by foreign architects ah?), CCTV International, Guggenheim Museum Bilbao, Sydney Opera House, Church of Light, Eifel Tower (centre).
