haven't had one of those thoughtful gifts, ever. i guess.

the tale of the old pair of ripped jeans.

I once had a pair of jeans. It was my beloved.
I never thought I could love a pair of jeans that much.
I wore it proudly, I wore it everyday
I didn't realize the pair of jeans are slowly fading on me
I didn't care, I tried not to be bothered by the faded color on my jeans.
Until the jeans suddenly ripped on me.

"There's no use of stitching it. It failed on me on purpose" I thought.
So I threw it out. I couldn't care less.
I didn't want to get a new pair of jeans,
I tried shorts and pants instead.
I got over my old ripped jeans.

Until one day, I saw the old ripped jeans I threw away,
on the most cluttered corner of my closet,
waiting to be stitched.

my denial from this hectic life.

jakarta.

had never posted anything for the past few months.
not because i don't want to, i just don't have the time. (not to sound snobbishly busy or anything).

anyways, for the first time ever, i'm not going home to jakarta this holiday.
it's pretty weird. not going there.
jakarta is like an extended open void to the life i'm living here.
it's almost like the atrium of freedom.
while here, i'm almost literally trapped in an enclosed space.

whatever, i feel like such a loser. for some odd reasons.
maybe i am one.

le provocateur

A little project Inka and I did.

MERRY SUPER BELATED CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY BELATED NEW YEAR!

fall 08 wraps up.

Finally, this semester is over. Now onto the real business.. 

HOLIDAY!

Yup, I'm going home tomorrow night. After all this sleepless, tiring, full-of-time-consuming-works nights, I get to go back to Jakarta. All of those hard work had finally paid off.. I got my final critique for studio 1 last week and it went good, I think.. There were about 6 jurors and they all gave positive reviews.

I'm gonna post the pictures in here, but I don't feel like writing down the concept. It's gonna be waaay to long to explain the whole thing.

So for now, I'm just gonna post the picture of my final project and my previous projects that gave me the ideas to make it. 

And these two are my previous projects that helped me derived the concept of the dwelling (my final project)

Basically i took the idea of section cuts and elevating the space from the ground. and that's pretty much my concept.

november 2008.

I decided,
as of November 26th at 11:51 PM (GMT - 8),
that...

NOVEMBER 2008 IS DEFINITELY NOT MY MONTH.

6 days and counting

Wow.. 6 days until the final project is due.
Still has LOADS of things to be done. I haven't even started on my model yet.. and yes, I need to rewrite the intent of my dwelling.
Well, I guess at least I got my 2 sections and floor plans ready.
I'm

SCARED.

I'm scared that I won't be able to finish this project, and yet, this is my final project. And yes, I can't believe they made a poster to advertise our final project review.
That's way too INTENSE.

And of course, on top of all that, I have to make my visual studies curatorial exhibition project. Which due on the very same date as my studio final project.

Ah yes, beautiful.
NOT.

last project and still about to cry

New project. well, it's my final project.

I'm suppose to make a dwelling. 

but i'm not sure what i'm doing..

especially with the notational diagram. duh..

Illustrator crashes down on me yesterday.

not sure about the research and site analysis.

site models. 

need inspiration.

can't wait until the designing of the dwelling.

hope that i'll make a good final project.
