Critique

Just had a crit session. Back in studio to complete my measured drawings. It's been almost 3 weeks in KL now... Food's getting along fine (everything's spicy here though) and the Malaysians are a friendly bunch.

Design's chugging along, although the site is pretty big and there's a fair bit of deliverables to draw up. The jury like the scheme so far though. Blogging's a chore cuz the internet here is dodgy -- it keeps going on and off, on and off. And the LAN points don't work. I can't wait to get back home. And to install OS 10.4 on my Powerbook! Hahaha.

Submission's in 7 days. Looks like I'm in for a busy week.

Walk around KL

Ok, first, I'm very irritated because I have been trying for the last 3 hours to get a proper internet connection. The whole internet debuncle has been testing my patience for a long while. No internet in the hostels and an on-again-off-again network in the studios is making my blood boil.

Anyway, i just went for a walk around KL for the weekend. It's pretty fun. Shot some photos in B&W to capture the grittiness of the city. Okays, enjoy.

In KL

In KL and there's no net connection in the students' hostel. Food's good tho. And shopping! But things aren't particularly cheap here either. Slogging in studio now. Will update soon.

Old Template screwed up

Yup. So there's a new look to the blog. The photos of my site. It was a maternity hospital before. So some of the stuff are, well, freaky..

Golf

All of a sudden I feel like taking the golf clubs down to the driving range and whacking the daylights out of the golf balls. I should bring along a marker and write "Building Services" on the balls too. Ahh, the satisfying twack! when the club-face connects with the forsaken pimply face of the ball.

I think I know why paper-pushers like golf so much. It's not so much the business opportunities it offers as you cut a deal with a client on the course; it's the feeling of released fustration when you send a ball (with a neo-print of your boss stickered on it) soaring into the air and then ploink! into the water hazard, or better still, smack into the roof of the golf-buggy of some unsuspecting dude.

Striking the monographed balls of one's nemesis (pun not intended) with all of your cow-strength (and till the shit comes out of you cuz you concentrate so much on your swing your ass-muscles relax -- ever wondered how Tiger Wood's undies look after a tough game?) and achieving maximum displacement gives wonderful satisfaction, especially if it flies far and true. Okay, so if you kill a bird with the projectile along the way that'll be a bonus (and probably as good a reason as any to buy 4D), but in my opinion as long as it's a shot well taken it would make all the fustrations go away.

So to keep your employees happy, I think it is important to encourage them to pick up golf and give them each 20 golf balls with a picture of your face printed on them. And additional balls should be given when promotions are passed over, deadlines brought forward, meetings extended and bonuses reduced.
