new years is about an hour away...
what have i been doing today...nothing...i watched tv, i surf the web, i watch tv...see the pattern?? highlight of my day of course is combination of chipotle, tv and beer...that was some good time
oh, i found an old picture of me, kim, angie, and gordon...i met kim a while back...but i guess we really never have chance to get to know each other. I am attracted to her...not just her looks...i think i like the way she is...the more i know her...the more i enjoy her company.
I dont really like new years....i guess it's just the fact that i hate waiting...and the whole premise of new year is waiting. Also people like to make resolutions on new years...and trying to keep it...as for me...i dont make resolutions....there's not point...if you gonna do something...just do it for yourself...dont make new year your reason to do something.
i should start working on the new york city essential tour....i need to go to AAA to pick up whole bunch of maps...as i plan my tour....it's gonna be fun...or perhaps funny

hopefully and thankfully i would be going to new york next week. You might ask...why dont you go for new years at times square...people that knows me know i dont really like crowds...and will probably be one of the largest crowd ever gathered....and i like to do my own thing...i want to travel the streets of new york on my own...or with a selected few...i want to see things i want to see...spend time at my own leisure...and reward myself for all the hard research that i've done and see cool architecture that i want to see...and be weird and architect like...ah...damn...i'm weird
what else...oh...last day of work was today...woohoo
i've been researching for the ultamate nyc experience...i know it's not gonna be great...but i want to create a tour that i can hit all the cool and new architecture spots while going by the usual tourist spots. So it's a high light of new new york while not skpping the essential sight of NYC...it's a tough balancing act...and it should be very cool...so i'm gonna have a dry run on my own
man...i missed people already....but not enough to cry...but enough to drive me crazy

man...my touchpad is a little screw up right now...well...good thing i have a mouse with me...but it's kinda inconvient...i like the fact that i dont need to carry a mouse with me all the time to use the computer...but now i do...so i have more and more baggages....not so happy about it...well.....so i guess i'll be using my warranty...hopefully, they'll replace this with a new computer....please...i hope so....i'm not really complaning about the performance of this baby...i'm more than happy with my laptop...the price, the screen...everything is working perfectly file...except...like i mentioned...the touchpad
about to forget about work pretty soon...hopefully will be my last few days working in the dungeon....
thinking about going to new york alone on a 24 hour tour....i still need to do some research and see how many places i can "hit"....need to make a list of places i want to go on my first visit...and then create a tour...that should be great...now where's my map

kinda sick right now...hopefully i can fight it and recover it as soon as i can...
tomorrow is christmas...and suppositely...kim is gonna call me...we'll see about that....not betting on it if you know what i mean. Well...i'm not saying she's such a forgetful person but it's the holidays...it's her time off...and it's also my time off...she's not obligated to call me...and i understand that fact...so if she call me...that's great...but if she doesn't, it's fine either way...not gonna get mad....why would i get mad?? take it easy...
Singing along with ben kweller again..."I am wasted but I'm ready..." His songs are so fun to sing along with....i have to introduce him to everyone
Chrismukkah....Kim was telling me about having a Chrismukkah party....my respond was...I'm terrify but intrigue...anyways....
Lemme think about the funny conversations we had....
we talked about the definition of cooking...what is the basic requirement for an act of cooking food...that was good
we talked about dressing in layers....we talked about missing my car
I noticed that she's started to sketch stuffs around me...i think that's cute
there's a party at home around 10...i dont want to be back there yet...it's gonna be boring...so i'm just gonna hand in school using the internet and downloading some stuffs and head back at 10...the party would start by then...and i'll hang out for a while...and then take my nyquil and pass out...that's gonna be great...and then wake up to christmas morning...
what should i do christmas morning?? i guess i'm just gonna read my books...and do some sketching...i think my hand is getting a little rusty...i also need to write down and ponder about my design process...i think i figure out what my design process should be...its gonna be interesting...
Design process is like making your own rules for a game...the rules are what make the game interesting and sometimes frustrating...but nonetheless...fun...so i have to figure that out...
"I dont feel like I'm falling down...just say hello to the ground..." singing along to ben kweller again...
Man...my back aches....
Think i'm gonna head home now
Happy Holidays people

Mike waiting for downloading to complete.....
http://mcheung04.blogspot.com/ this is where i put up more pictures
http://www.pbase.com/iis0nicii/inbox
http://www.pbase.com/iis0niciii/western_denmark
http://www.pbase.com/iis0nici2i/denmark these are the denmark pictures links
Kinda bored...waiting for stuffs to download....so i'll be here for another 30 minutes...meanwhile...i should write some more interesting stuffs...or BS...as I like to say
Listening to Ben Kweller
Sitting in my studio
Looking at my Labtop screen
I bought a book for gift exchange...it's call recreational drugs....it's a reference book with a lot of pictures and text about drugs...it's completely informational and educational
thinking about kim a little bit
Sipping my tea
"hear me out...you dont know i'm here..." singing along with ben kweller
chewing gum
I need to learn how to play the harmonica...but the problem is...I dont know where I can find a harmonica...damn...i have to find a harmonica...
I'm also thinking about sam...i bet she's have fun in california right now...and think she deserve every bit of fun
what should i do tomorrow??
I need to speak with harsh about his life....i need to give him some advice about leading his own life and making his decision....he have to if he want to control his life and be happy....you can't expect people to make decision for you and tell you what will make you happy...you have to find your own happiness...
What is my definition of happiness?? Doing what I want to do
I love small memories...you can read some of my favorite small memories with kim....i dont know...small memories doesn't give you stress as much as big memories...small memories doesn't really stay in your mind...but it does in mind....I associate small memories with songs...a lot of songs i listen to is like little soundtrack of the memory...it's beautiful....being reminded of a little memory is the best thing ever...small memory are related to primal emotions....loniness, love, happiness....and when you are being reminded of it...it brings back that emotion...and it is wonderful....you can't help but to say..."you remember" It's just the fact that someone remember something you consider will be insignificant by other...thats what makes it special...why is it special....because little memories makes us what we are...more so then big memories....big memories affect us....but little memories makes us...
"I am wasted but I'm ready" Singing along with Ben Kweller....still
Still got 17 minutes before download is over...so i guess i'll continue to write
I looked at my sketchbook...I love that thing...i am going to put so much stuffs in there...it's gonna be great...sketchbook is more than an architecture habit...it's a way for me to remember...i put calenders, to do list, stuffs i need to do for others...it's my memory...often times...it's small memories...and it's great to look back to it...and everytimes i look back to it...i remember what i was thinking...and i often felt that my thoughts are pretty bad and dumb in my old sketchbooks...but it's getting better...i can see progress through out the years....and it feels good...i rather see progress then no progress at all
that dumbass hito as me what is the 5 most important attributes in a good architect....i dont think there's 5....i think you just need one...ethics....doing the right thing is all an architect needs to know....then great design, great building, happy occupants, happy employees...all that great things will follow....you dont need 5...you only need one.....i dont care if he have the 5 most important attributes.....he doesn't have ethics...and he will never produce great architecture
Just took my phone to get the antenna fixed...before that...i was using my ghetto creation for a while...it works...and it was cool...but it doesnt work very well...now it's fixed...so much better
just order some books online...one of them is carlo scarpa complete work...that's gonna be pretty cool...the other one is false flat...which is about dutch architecture...which i think will be a pretty good reading...dutch is in right now...dont you know??
7 more minutes....need more stuffs to write...it kinda reminds me of the creative writing class i took in high school...it was a cool class...but i wish i had better ideas for stories...my stories are kinda limited in creativity...first of all, nothing exciting really happen to me...but i hate to write stories not based on my experience....but i also doesn't like to write something that happened to me...cause when people read it...they'll ask if the character is me...so it's a toss up
it's 10:33pm...still write....still got 4 minutes
ok...let's count....1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18....ok...this is a dumb way to waste time....lemme think what i should do with my reminding time....

Music currently.....silent...
Just to let you know...I fired my boss...reason...well...he's not a good person to work for because he takes advantage of us in every precieveable situation and refuses to give us the rate per hour we wanted....and after that...we agree to finish the job at hand and quit...and he then precede to ask us to build a model for him over the vacation...so we want to be nice and agree to meet him and look at the model at nite....and he called and left a message telling us that he can't make it that nite and reschedule it 7 in the morning on our day off...and we called back saying we dont want to wake up early on our day off and we dont want to build the model for him and we dont want to negociate because he refuses to negociate with us...and from his reaction...he really need to get the model built....let's leave it at that
Lesson 3....a complete person
what does being a complete person have to do with architecture?? basically...being a complete person is important in everything you do in life. When we look at people from the past like da vinci or jefferson...these people are complete person that knows how to do everything...they want to learn as much as they can ...that's what make them great. how can we be great at architecture if we dont explore ourside that scope. Nothing great can come from a narrow scope of mind.
Being a complete architect means not only be able to draw or sketch or design...a complete architect must also learn how to build, how to construct...through out the years, architects have become more and more white collar and it makes me sad. Why can't architect be out in the job site with the contractors working together...why is there a barrier between architect and contractor where once upon in time... the same...
aside knowing how to build what you draw...architects need to constantly learn. they have to...it's part of the job. If a project comes in...you have to learn and research on that program. Architects cannot stop learning. Learning is what make us a complete person.

just created a playlist on itune...it's call downtime...i hope to select the best downtime music for my hearing pleasure and i will share that with you as soon as i can...and i wont make promise because i like to keep promises...and this one...i dont think i can keep....so you dont make promises if you dont intend to keep it...and that's the end of that
Lesson 2
Last time i talk about the importances of concept and process...but i'm pretty darn sure that you dont understand what is concept. Concept can be anything that governs the world...it could be your analysis of how the stock market works, a piece of music, a type of tree, a painting, a painter...anything that you felt the project is about.
there are many way to approach or procede on a project. I think our job as architect is to design with intend to show what we cannot see in the world. We as human being take so many things for granted...we walk in to buildings and up the elevator without knowing why the building is standing up. We dont appreciate these marvels anymore. What is the first important architecture?? it's a monlithic stones that raised toward the heaven to celebrate seasons....people used to be in caves and depend on mother earth...but agriculture made them depend on the sky...and understanding the cosmos and celebrating the cosmos is our first attempt at architecture.
As an architect, we not only should show why a building stands...we must be honest is everything we do...we have to use real material and let to inert beauty of that material come through. We DETAIL it to show the beauty of that material...the BEAUTY of material can be from the way it is made...the way it ages...the way light wash on it, the way it reflects or refracts, the way it connects, the way it supports, the way it is cut...the way you manipulate material also should fit your concept...
many of my friends leave materials as their last thing the consider...i felt materials is so important to a design...it should be consider at much earlier in the design process. You have to be intimate with the material you use...you need to understand to a point where you can speak to it...you have to understand the ins and outs of that material...you have to work with it in your hands...how scary it is to make something that you never touch...
Lesson 2 is over for now...Lesson 3...be a complete person

"there are time for being dumb...this must be one of them..." line from indictment by jawbreaker
talking about jawbreaker...i was wearing their sweatshirt at hard times cafe...and the waitress commented on it...and she said she didn't realized and said it's cool..obviously...she heard.
me and shinji decided to quit...but unlike the unethical guy we work for...we decided to finish the job and take the low wage that he gave us....
lesson 2...later

well...with all the random stuffs that i wrote...i'm surprise how little that i write about architecture. You do know that I am an architecture major...and in the future...i do want to teach architecture someday...somehow...so here's one of my many rant about architecture...
Lesson 1
what is concept? what is process?? well...when we were handed a program of a building...we began think about what the building should be. we look for things we felt is important to this building and began to generate a concept. A concept can be anything...it keeps things from being random...it ties everything together. It is like the thesis statement of an essay.
what is process? I see process as a way to get to architecture from the concept. The process...the way to architecture should also relate to the concept. If you want your building to be sustainable and green...your process should also reflect that. Sometimes...process and concept also could reverse. Your can start with a process and imply a concept later.
It shouldn't take long to come up with a concept...but it does take a long time to research on the project...and once done with research which takes a longer time...began to generate a concept. Once you have a concept...the concept need to be develop through an architectural process. Process can be the same with every project...and it can also be unique like the project itself. The process is where the creativity lies...that's where you make your decision about the form, the space, the details, the material, the structure, the system...the everything...
Lesson one is over...no homework

pause
what is pause? I was once told to put our relationship on pause. Is the relationship suppose to stop at that moment and not progress or pause means just stop entirely. I thought it was the former...so i acted as i though i pause the relationship. I still do the things i do around her...and one day...she told me she still felt uncomfortable around me...so at the instant, i realize that she meant to stop everything...we're not friends anymore...she lied...and she thinks i'm an asshole.

wow...i couldn't believe it's snowing outside a moment ago...it's not the most beautiful sight...but it's a sight nonetheless. my roommates want to set up a party tonite...i think it's gonna be pretty lame and boring...not knowing that i got work tomorrow.
ah...what else is there....i called kim and sam to let them know it's snowing...kim didn't pick up the phone but i left her a message telling her it's snowing...and sam picked up and we talked...and it's great. i promised sam that if it's nice tomorrow...i'll take some pictures for her...if it's nice. Sam was telling me how great the weather is in california...and i am very jeolous...but she too is jeolous about the snow here
I went to school for a while today just to take some pictures of my project...i might need to retake couple of images cause it didn't turn out the way i wanted to. I also got some stuffs from the server on to my computer. I chilled and listen to some music at my desk
prime numbers are cool....just to let you know

prime numbers are cool....just to let you know
(listening to bend and not break by dashboard confessional)
music is pretty cool isnt it?? i love it when the music fits the mood. When you feel down...listen to some sad music...its just very honest. But i never really listen to happy music...people usually comment about my music being very sad...but i guess i'm just honest.
i understand that many people view music as an art...as something abstract that takes them to different places....but for me...i see music as something that tells me about the person...the stories....and reflect upon myself...i guess i'm just one of those introverts....
i've been starting to read this book...curious incident of the dog in night time...it's fairly interesting in which that the narrator is very observate in his daily activities...he's also very logical by which everything must be analyze and reasoned out. I think i need to learn from him....not so obsessively...but rather try to have more reasons in the things i do...and try to look for reasons in things other people do...and in that...try to find out the lack of reasons in the world...
metaphors...similes...
Well...lemme make a thank you list for people that i came to know...and sometimes love this semester......and please...this is a random list...no reason in the order....
chris...get to know you as a roommate and cross country trip
shinji...roommate and co-worker...and person that take me places
hamid...cross country trip
matt wong...thanks for all the counseling sessions...and keeping me depress free since october

sam...you're great...you dont have to worry about anything...i'll always be there when you need someone

listening to empty picture frame by jets to brazil
it's a long work week...tired and exhausted
yesterday, i called up kim in the afternoon and left her a message telling her that i probably won't be able to see her before she leaves and i just wanna say good bye and wanting her to call me up once in a while to make sure i dont work too hard.
last nite, after a long day of working and hauling stuffs around...i went to bed and the phone rang and it's kim. She asked me if i'm at home and she would like to dropped by and say goodbye. She also baked me some cookies...so it's very nice of her. Before she left, we hugged and she told me to try not to work too hard. I'll try.

ah...another day, another blog...i should turn on itune...and see what song i feel like listening to...um....now playing...(at lease that's what you said by wilco)
no work today...took today off because of school...so no work...but i'm still tired. Tired from the crap that's going around me...i hate to be tired...i dont like it...
school was good...the topic in lecture is pretty interesting...but the way they deliver it...i felt that they dont allow us to open up to discussion...i think if he do that...i'll be much more interesting.
anyways...i think i should call kim...i think i was being like a jerk to her today...and i dont want her to get the wrong impression...i just dont think that it's right...i just dont want to miss her too much...but i did make an effort to say good bye to her...but she's not there...I guess i'll call her later tonite and see how she is...and apologize for being lethargic and not so talkative around her...it's not her fault....i guess i dont want to miss her too much...
tomorrow, i'll be sanding the benches...and carrying them...it's gonna be another labor intensive day...and i need a good nite sleep...

it's been a long day...woke up at 6:15...work from 7:30 to 5:30...doing really laboring work...sanding shelves until they are smooth enough for finish...it was tiring...came back home around 6:30 and made dinner...just laying down being all lazy...and then...i got a call from friends to go out to play some pool...and we did...and i headed back to school...and i saw sam and she like my haircut...and as always...she thinks i'm hot...and then i went up to my desk and saw evaine and michelle and somehow...they knew i got a haircut and too think i'm cute...and i'm gonna teach them all how to weld on wednesday nite...so that's gonna be fun...and funny...hopefully
doing repetitive work and laboring intensive work always make me reflect upon myself because it requires little or no brain activity...so it's a great time to analysis what the hell is going on in your life...I realized what's important and who is important in my life...who i can't live with out and who i will miss the most this winter break...so i made up my mind...

that song from jets....look what you've done....there's a line that really stuck in my head...he sang,"Oh, look what you've done/You've made a fool of everyone/Oh well, it seems likes such fun/Until you lose what you had won" It really reminds me of the situation that i'm in.
started work...been working for last 2 days...it's hard laboring work...but it's really fun...i'm making furniture with an architect in DC...he's designed and need help making furnitures...so i'm the guy. i worked for like 20 hours in 2 days...it's pretty exhausting
well, because of work, i missed kim's presentation...I told her that i'll try my best to make it but i just didn't make it in time...but i tried...i rushed back to school and everything is done...and i went to her desk...and she's gone...i just left her a note...to tell her that i got back to school...i just didn't make it in time...and last nite...after all that crit...there's a party at the gallery...and i was there early with my friends...and kim came but i didn't really went up to her...i just do what im' doing....so she came over...i apologized for not making in time....and she told me it's ok and said she got my note. So we talked a little bit. and i went to talk to some other girls...and then she came over again...i think that happened twice...when i was talking to other people...she came by....and then she need to refill her wine...and i was drunk and tired by then...she came by and told me she's gonna refill her wine in her apartment and wonder if i'm gonna be there....she said she'll return in 10 minutes...so i told her i'll wait till she comes back so i can say good bye...and she didn't come back...and i waited for 20 miuntes...and i just have to go...
theres so many cool people at the party...i was chilling with michelle and evaine a little bit...and we're gonna weld sometimes...evaine kinda want me to teach her how to weld...she initiated it...she's cute...but it's just weird that we got along so well so quick...i need to get her contact info so we can stay in touch...and then i was talking to sam...it's funny...she hugged me...that's not funny...but she asked me...so mike...any girl in your life?? i was like...ah...no...any guy in your life?? and then we laugh...we're kinda drunk

woke up early again to go see jen's presentation...but again...marco showed up late...so we didn't get started until 10...we were suppose to start at 9...so it's a little behind...after that I rushed to Goyi's presentation and then adam's...both of them did well...did great...so after adam's, i went to see christian schmit's, lydia's and feng's...I was kinda disappointed...cause i really want to see frankie's and Kristine...just I need to see Adam's...but if timing were right...i could have seen both of them
after that...i went grocery shopping and made lunch.....and relaxed at home for a while...and i headed back to school cause i need to meet up with a guy that sam knew and needed help on model and furniture making...did i mention he work for bob gurney....he's kinda famous around here...so me and shinji gonna be working for him on furnitures for his house and model for his client...
and then i headed over to kim's desk...she's working on some drawings...and i told her i'm gonna be working...and i might work on models...she seems happy for me...and i just sat there and keep her company for a while...it's just very nice and relax just sitting next to her...i really wish her to do well...and i'll try my hardest to make it to her presentation...i know she'll take time off her work and studio work to make it to mine...even though she didn't see the entire thing...i'm happy that she made an effort to come...and i appreciate it...and i appreciate everyone that came to mine...and afterwards...she help me unpinned stuffs down...so i really really want to make an effort to go there and help her set up...i kinda owe it to her
another thing...i really want her to finish that poster...but i dont want her to rush...i know that's important to her...and i do want her to do a good job and spend as much time as she want and need on it...even if that put our dinner plan in the back burner...i'm just glad that she try her hardest to get it done....but it's always possible to have alternate plan...if she can't do it...i can just cook her dinner and have dinner with her in studio...i think that might even be better...
well...tomorrow...got to head to sammy jean's, doctor's, melody's, kazchen's, maiko's and greg's presentation...i hope i can hit most of them...i'm gonna head to sam's, doctor's and melody's for sure...we'll see how lucky the other one's are...

ok....chronicle of today....
woke up around 8am, showered and headed back to school to see Joe and Sam's presentation in the morning block...Joe did do well...very compose...it's very difficult to go first...critics are usually more harsh...and Sam went and he was good....good presentation and overall great project...later that morning, I saw Bianca...she did well and she got great feedbacks
So then I headed out to get lunch...I naturally went to Mickey D's...just the convient of it. On the way back...I bumped in to Kim...and I was like...she look familiar...so we chatted...and i asked her if she saw my message...and she said she'll go to dinner with me...but it depands on whether if she get her stuffs printed out...she said she'll let me know...well...i'll keep my fingers crossed
so i presented...went well...i guess...got really good feedbacks..about the next steps...
then i sat through the presentations...saw shinji and chris...and then we got some beer and headed to dinner...it's 9:40pm now...tired as hell...listening to some dispatch...and just laying on my bed try to get some good rest...ah...it's so nice to be done

ah...so good to be done...but yet i feel so exhausted...i guess that's just my so-called life. (Gallon of rubbing alcohol by nirvana is playing in the background) Just uploaded some of the pictures i took from fallingwater trip to share with you guys...i hope ya'll would enjoy it...
Well today, i organized my presentation...knowing the things i should be saying...went to the river to contemplate about my presentation...and plus...i need to get away from it all and just talk to myself once in a while...i miss that....i miss myself a lot...i feel that i often lose myself in search of that special someone...but how can i be with that someone if i dont have myself. So i went soul searching a little bit today...just make sure i'm ok
later that nite, i went over to her desk and just talked to her...it was good conversation...i never had a boring or dull talk with her...even if it's about architecture and our lives...not so much architecture...it's nice
so later i went to her desk again...just to say bye...and ask if she wants to go out to dinner this weekend....but she's not around...so i just left her a note in her sketch book...hopefully she'll see it and we'll do something this weekend...cause me and her never actually spent time going out...and i think we should...i dont know what would happen...but i want to spend some time with her alone...because i like her....and i hope she'll feel the same...i said like...not love...just making it clear people
