Don't Ever Give Up
Saturday, March 6, 2010 @

I know I should be really doing my work now
but hey
today I've really got A LOT of things I wanna talk about.

Ha I'm just excited!

Let's start off with Lakers @ Heat.
A classic duel between 2 of the best in the league:


Dwyane Wade and Kobe Bryant

I only managed to watch the 1st half before heading to school
But I heard it was one hell of a game
and probably the best game from Heat this year. Season-high 31 lead changes in this game.

Kobe
was great with 39 points,
including an awesome splitting the defense and then a double-pump jump shot! :D
Wade was also good with 27 points and 14 assists.

I think all in all, it came down to the Heat's overall contribution.

Arroyo
was doing well, Haslem a double-double.
Beasley
wasn't all great but had a SICK put-back OVER PAU GASOL.
and he got technical foul for taunting :D

Whatever! A dunk is a dunk!


JO did what he promised, he drew a charge against Kobe late in the game
and it pretty much put an end to that match.

Q-Rich was good. 7-11 from beyond the arc.
When he's hot, he
REALLY is hot.
I still remember him hitting
7-7 from the arc, except that we lost that match.
But hey, I'm getting to like him a lot :]


So the Heat played really well, next up is Atlanta which I hope the same effort comes up.

Then we can screw the DAMNED hawks for a
3-1 sweep this season.
Go heat!!



Final (Over-time) : Heat 114 - Lakers 111

Moving on to more serious business now.
A short talk by overseas examiner and the FYP.

The examiner is the director of a certain university in California.

I didn't really understand what he was saying until the end.


2 good quotes from the talk.

"It seems that perfection is reached not when there is nothing left to add,
but
when there's nothing left to take away."

- Antoine de Saint-Exupery

"It's never too late to become what you might have been."
- George Eliot

So that pumped me up for P1.
Then FYP was an eye-opener for me.

Yes, I sound like a kid getting fascinated by everything but that's the way I am, Like it or not.

I don't know if I was absorbing what the lecturer wanted us to know
but instead of their presentation style I kind of looked more into their process.

I then realized a huge difference - Our thinking.

When we think,
we tend not to think of a whole picture.
It's like we do it
part by part.
Let's say a corner of the building, we put this to create this or that.
Then another corner we do the this or that etc etc.


But it was
way different in FYP.
They have a concept, they develop it and its like
everything is done as a whole.
In fact, it even
feels as a whole.

We like to manipulate emotions through the design

but when we don't do it completely,

it's like one moment you feel this, the next moment you feel another.


The FYP, however, they make you feel what they want to achieve.
It's like going through this space, you will feel this
and then next you will feel another thing.

It sounds the same but they do it in a flow.

A somewhat comfortable flow.


---

I feel, after these long months, that design is not about stairs nice or wall nice.
It's more like what more you want to create out of it.

It's like a need to think deeper and make the people feel it too.


But I still think I'm very NOOB.

I showed Jeff my work and he was able to point out things
I couldn't even noticed.
Wow -.-

Of course I want to let things take a natural course and
eventually I hope I can think better than now.


I seriously don't know.
Because even as I say so much, doesn't mean I'm as capable too.
Oh well, let's just do my best for P1 first.



Breeze isn't just for blowing leaves.
They bring you through a quick ride of emotions.
