Today is the day…Flying Egg Project!

the first assignment of the Architectural Design 101 module is called as Flying Egg…the period of this assignment is only three days…very insufficient time…

these few days stay late at university to complete this assignment which carries no mark to the whole module…just a pass or fail for this project (which had not much effect on the study)

The assignment:

1. Creating a flying device by only using newspaper, strings, masking tape and balsa wood.

2. The flying device can be of any size and any form.

3. The flying device should be able to fly in the length of approximately 12 metres.

4. The flying device should carries an egg on it while it is flying.

5. At least 50 percent of the egg must be exposed to be seen while the flying device is flying.

6. Sketch out some sketches regarding this and explain some concepts behind it.

7. make a prototype (mock-up) model before the real model (if possible)

8. the flying device should flies with its own method and is on track while flying.

———

We have to work in group of five students and have to work and get advice from three senior students..

luckily we got some good seniors, mainly the one which is very pro in phyiscs (all those aerodynamic, centre of gravity and bernoulli’s principles) which are very important in designing the flying device…

we created design a mix out of bird, plane and glider…large wings, little aerofoil shape, and form of a glider…and that is why our flying device can fly…we need to maintain the balance and centre of gravity of the device too…hard task to do…but we learn a lot from this project too…

wasted a lot of time on it…wasted a lot of eggs on it (we have done a lot of experiments before)..wasted a lot of newspaper on it….this is the look of the flying device we have created…

the video below shows the final testing of our flying device before the real presentation….

quite successfully..because we flies with the wind…the wind flew from the back of our starting point…not much resistance then…it flies, flies, flies until towards the opposite staircase..very successful…surely exceed 12m…

but then, it’s time for the real presentation…so many people came to the courtyard and watched the show…and this time, need to fly from the staircase of the other side..so against the wind…more resistance..and it is bad…

our group is group 7…the first six groups all failed to make it even more than 6m..until our group, the first group to make it to 8m..everybody cheered on the flying device we made eventhough it flies out of track..hurray..very happy…

and the egg didn’t break at all..then they give us the second chance….the second time was better…actually it flies out of track again due to the opposite wind, but then it hits at people at flies back in track…of over 9m…slight improvement…everyone satisfied with it this time..

sorry…videos quite blur…recorded them through phone…and there are so crowded…unable to see the landing…eventhough we can’t make it to the best…but our group is still in top three…there is one group of our friends which is the only group able to reach the marking line of 12m..they are so lucky, at first their flying device is already out of track but then the wind helps it to pull it back on track and slides towards the line..how lucky….

there is another group getting on 10m line…better than us..but nevermind…our flying device is still satisfying…the lecturer looks good on our flying device too…

very tired and hot after the presentation…before that, just sketch up some last minute work (because we don’t know earlier that we need to prepare sketches regarding it) and paste it onto the wall…but then the lecturers don’t even look at it…they just don’t care and forget about it…meaningless!

next week, have to start with other assignments..more terrible and challenging assignments ahead!

Second day of the new semester..Headache…

It is now already the second day of beginning of new semester (Semester 1) in Bachelor of Applied Science in Architecture…

Thought that the first week would be ‘free and easy’ week as all the first lesson of each module will only introduce the module outline…

but then, today as the second day..two modules already have their assignments briefed on us…

the assignments are so tough and challenging..even though it is just Assignment 1…the hardest and most time-consuming one is the ‘The Wonder Wall’ Project under Building Technology 101 module…

in the project, we need to work in group and build out a length of wall with openings based on our creativity and the understanding of solid construction…this project needs a lot of time….and then we need to draw out first on scale before doing this continuously for at least 8 hours…and present it to the whole world in the fourth week..haha…

then, in the Architectural Design 101, we are told to work with senior students in group to design a flying device that can carry an egg..the project is called as ‘Flying Egg’…funny right? We need to apply the aerodynamic system as well creativity on this..this one need to submit and tested by this Friday…so fast!and this assignment does not carry any marks to the module…

headache…stress…thinking of all the stuff and procedures regarding these two first assignments briefed….architectural life ahead is super hard! Have to stay on it too! No give up! Must get used to it!

Conclusion: Slumdog Millionaire movie wins a lot this time..haven’t watch this movie yet…Really happy that Kate Winslet won the Best Actress…i suddenly recalling back 12 years ago when she acted as Rose Dewitt Bukater in the famous movie ‘Titanic’

For best animated feature film, I have watched the three movies and I think that Kung Fu Panda is better, because it has a more interesting plot with humourous scenes in the movie…

For best supporting actor, grateful that Health Ledger won as he deserved it in the villain role as the Joker in the Batman: The Dark Knight…just sad that he had passed away….

There are a lot of funny scenes in the awards ceremony…such as when Pui Ying and Chui Leng got a kiss on their face by Raymond Lam..then Vivien jealous but at last, she was being kissed on face by Moses Chan which satisfied every girls (emcees) on stage…another one is when everybody like to say about Vivien’s ‘weight’ and ‘size’ which Vivien doesn’t care about it anyway…

 

There is also a preview of some dramas that will be released in year 2009 on Astro Wah Lai Toi such as Wasabi Mon Amour, The Building Blocks of Life, The Seventh Day, The Silver Chamber of Sorrow, Last One Standing, Moonlight Resonance, Forensic Heroes 2, Wars of In-Laws 2, The Four, etc…the dramas which are now being shown in the channel are Word Twisters Adventure, Men Don’t Cry and Ultimate Crime Fighter and the previously shown Best Bet.

 

There is a similarity with this awards winner with TVB 40th Anniversary Awards 2007..let’s see the similarity:

ASTRO WAH LAI TOI(2008)       TVB 40th (2007)              WINNER

Favourite Leading Actor              Best Leading Actor          Moses Chan

Favourite Leading Actress          Best Leading Actress       Louise Lee

Favourite Drama                                    Best Series                 Heart of Greed

 

similar right?,…I think it will be some similarities next year too…so the results of TVB 41st anniversary awards will be almost the same with the next year Astro Wah Lai Toi Drama Awards 2009…

 

the results revealed are satisfying…eventhough I am still disagree with some categories such as Favourite Couple which I think should goes more to Raymond Lam and Charmaine Sheh from Drive of Life, and Favourite Villain in which I prefer Sammul Chan from Price of Greed. Others, all are good…they deserved the awards which look like a model of an old TV…

 

The fifthe year Astro Wah Lai Toi Drama Awards had concluded….let’s wait for next year to come, will be bigger and more grand and expecting more TVB artists and competitions between them to come….

 

========================================THE END!==

tomorrow will be a good day…

today went to uni to register, quite useless actually…ooh…next week start my Semester One in Bachelor of Applied Science in Architecture already..

passed my foundation with quite a good result..but still not satisfied enough…anyway, will work harder this time!’

holiday really makes people like me to become lazy, lazy to attend boring classes, lazy to complete burdening assignments, lazy to climb lengthy stairs to reach classrooms, etc…

tomorrow will be a great day…and it’s Saturday…the long awaited Astro Wah Lai Toi Drama Awards 2008 will be held tomorrow…will be in front of TV to watch the humourous awards presentation…

hope those that is my favourites to win…seems that some of the artists have came to Kuala Lumpur…as I heard some of their live voices through MYFM…

I am here to say,

Tomorrow will be a good day,

No matter how hard you have gone through today,

Expressing my words through this blog is my way.

=============================================

Modern China with modern cities

hundred years ago, everybody knew that China is kinda ‘old’, too traditional with imperial system by the time, and not modernized…the government is like ‘locked’ in the Forbidden City from the outside world by the high walls surrounding the palace, the Empress Dowager Cixi (Chi Hei Tai Hau) ordered that there should be no influence from the outer modern world especially from the Western. Luckily, the imperial system is abolished.

Then, China gained independence officially…then, China went silent from the outer world…everything is being ‘inside’ rather than ‘outside’…there are still no great modernizing effect on the poor country by the time…

Around two decades ago, China is like ‘boom’! Major changes occur to the country so that the country will be on par to globalization. Demolishing of old buildings, construction on new lands, building of towers, and introduction of economic policies put China to the peak in becoming modernized.

Many cities evolved from small quiet towns into the big buzzling cities currently such as

Shanghai (most advanced city in China)

Shenzhen (another booming city with rapid economic growth)

Guangzhou (a big city with new things to come)

Chongqing (among the biggest city in China, very densely populated)

Beijing (capital city, great architecture -traditional and modern, host city of 2008 Summer Olympic Games)

Do not forget Hong Kong, it is still belongs to China and it is the world best skyline city..thumbs up for this awesome city.

Despite the global downturn lately, China has not slows down its economic growth..everything keeps going, no matter going big or going tall! More and more cities are emerging from the country! It is now able to compete with others as it is one of the strong nation in the world. Eventhough I am Malaysian, but I am still Chinese, originated from China!

Malaysia, I mean in its capital city, Kuala Lumpur, construction of buildings can still be seen, but not as much as in China. The economic situation here is far worst. No need to compete already know which country win…Haiz!

Fantastic Stadiums from Herzog & de Meuron

anybody knew the famous Swiss architecture firm called as Herzog and de Meuron. These two principal architects are Jacques Herzog and Pierre de Meuron.

In 2001, they were awarded with Pritzker Prize, the highest of honors in architecture.

They are very excellent especially in designing stadiums, notably the Beijing National Stadium, the stadium which organized the opening and closing ceremonies of Beijing 2008 Olympic Games successfully….the stadium is now a landmark, a symbol of Chinese modernism, and a masterpiece of architecture…

With the seating of 80 000, this remarkable stadium is nicknamed as Bird Nest due to its distinctive design.

 

More info regarding the architecture of this stadium, please refer to my previous post on this stadium…

Besides than the stadium which was built in 2008, here is another stadium built in 2005 not to be forgotten. This stadium is called as Allianz Arena which is located at Munich, Germany.

With the seatings of 66 000, it is the first stadium in the world that has a full changing colours outside.

This is why I like the stadiums designed by Herzog and de Meuron.

Heart of Greed VS Moonlight Resonance

Heart of Greed

 

 

 

 

  

 – had a very nice plot, especially the plot in the family conflicts.

-          More touching, heart-breaking (especially when Dai Kei, Dai Bao went to hospital and died, Sai Kei regrets at the end, Dak Dak Dei told his family that Dai Kei will not be the guardian angel of the family after she passed away)

-          Focuses more on the love triangle between Alfred, Seung Joi Sum and Dak Dak Dei.

-          The evil plot by Sai Kei is not enough (Sai Kei is only greedy)

-          Had many ‘golden words’ like ‘ I say what then is what! No need proof! Here is not court, no need evidence! My eyes are the proof!’, ‘ Haven’t  up to the thrown’s seat, already use knife to kill people’, ‘ My face worth how much? Is it more valuable than my children’s future?’, etc.

-          Not much exciting parts in the drama but quite a lot of memorable scenes.

- Won the Best Drama in TVB 40th anniversary.

 

 Main Characters’ analysis:

Dai Kei (Louise Lee) – Performed very well in the drama. She is the one who made people cried for her especially when she started to have cancer. When she admitted to hospital, undergoing treatments until day after day, her health weakens, advising her in-laws not to separate her son with Jackie, giving her authority to Dak Dak Dei to take care of her family, until when she passed away. Very emotional and very real. Won the Best Actress Award in 40^th anniversary.

 

Sai Kei (Susanna Kwan) – the villain in the drama, had a greedy heart to get the properties of the family. Cheated by her greedy boyfriend to fight with her family. Her performance in the drama is pretty good too. Very emotional in acting. Won the Most Favourite Female Character in 40^th anniversary because she is the evil one.

 

Dai Bao (Ha Yu) – very emotional acting in the drama. Her cries are real, really real in the drama. Perfect acting too. But he looks a bit ‘down’ in the drama. The drama does not really focus much on him, focusing much rather on his eldest son, Dak Dak Dei (this is why Moses won the Best Actor Award in 40^th anniversary).

 

Dak Dak Dei (Moses Chan) – very emotional too. He is the lead role in the series. Focused more on him in the family as well as the love conflict with Seung Joi Sum. Because he is just taken from the toilet (he is an adopted son), more story is on him instead. Won the Best Actor Award and Most Favourite Male Character in 40^th anniversary.

 

Ling Lei (Michelle Yim) – the auntie who run the business for her brother-in-law, very kind-hearted. Did not focused much on her in the series. She is the one who helps to take care of the family with Dak Dak Dei after Dai Kei and Dai Bao passed away. Pretty good acting but being abandoned aside.

 

Gill (Bosco Wong) – acting not with emotion in the series. His expression is like being forced to act in the series. Not being focused too.

 

Jackie (Tavia Yeung) – being focused in the series a bit especially when she came to the family through difficulties. Good acting from her.

 

Seung Joi Sum (Linda Chung) – she acted pretty good, improving in her skills especially crying skill! Her screentime is a lot (being focused a lot by TVB). Her love triangle is just disgusting (too much).

 

Alfred (Raymond Lam) – guest actor in the series. But a lot of screentime too. Nothing more to say about him. He doesn’t seems to portray much of his characteristics.

 

Ling Bo (Louis Yuen) – his screentime in the series is quite a lot too as he is another villain in the series. Always help Sai Kei with greedy heart to get the properties of the family. He won Best Supporting Actor in 40^th anniversary.

 

Highest rating: 47.

 

 

Moonlight Resonance

 

 

 

– a very nice plot, now focuses mainly in family conflicts.

-          Every character had chance to stand out in their scenes (fair allocation)

-          Not much touching, but had a lot of climax scenes like when Yan Hung argued with Hor Ma in the washroom and slapped her, Sa Yee deals with Yan Hung in a restaurant’s washroom until she slapped her few times, final part of the drama when Yan Hung shouts to the crowd.

-          Have love triangle between Goon Gar Jai, Yu Shou Sam and Dr. Ling too (but not the main point of the story)

-          Sufficient evil plots by Yan Hung, the villain. (very evil in the drama)

-          Not much golden words, have too like ‘People on the heaven, money in the bank’, ‘What people do, the sky (heaven) watch’, etc.

-          Many exciting parts in the drama but with less memorable scenes.

-          Memorable scenes: ‘ When Yan Hung looked at the video recorded showing Jo Bau happily with Hor Ma on the stage and felt angry, then she went out of her luxury car and thinks that the only thing that she needs to depend on is not her husband now, but is her running business, Ka Hou Yuet Yuen bakery shops’, etc.

- Breaks Heart of Greed records…sweeping a lot of awards in TVB 41st anniversary awards including the Best Drama.

 

Main Characters’ Analysis:

 

Hor Ma (Louise Lee) – Acting is the same, perfect, brilliant and looks real. She is always the one that stands out when quarrels or conflicts occur. Scenes with her are a lot. Won the Most Favourite Female Character in 41^st anniversary.

 

Yan Hung (Michelle Yim) – It’s time for her to reveal. Not to becoming a kind auntie this time, she acted as the main villain in the drama. Acted with full emotion with evil intentions, no one can beat her in acting as evil like this one. Her changing of nice to a cruel expression is perfect. Her evil plots in the drama are numerous, not only to take back the property, but to win back her husband, but she lost in the end too due to her greedy heart. Perfect acting. Her screen times are not a lot, but sufficient enough to win her the best Actress Award in 41^st anniversary.

 

Jo Bao (Ha Yu) – Acting is the same, perfect and looks real. But this time, he is being focused more rather than his son (Moses). So, he won the Best Actor Award in 41^st anniversary. Her cries are real this time too, very real. Very emotional acting in this series.

 

Sa Yee (Susanna Kwan) – This time, she is the auntie. At first, she is a bit of evil because of the same thing, greedy. But at last, she turns over a new leaf. Same fate with Michelle Yim in the previous version, Heart of Greed, she won nothing in year 2008. Nevermind, her acting is still good eventhough there are people disliked her of screaming in the drama.

 

Goon Gar Jai (Raymond Lam) – His popularity rises more in the series in his responsible character to the family in the series. Taking full care towards his family while involving in a love conflict with Yu Shou Sam making this character to be admirable. His acting is with full experience and very real too. His acting is brilliant too. Won the Most Favourite Male Character in 41^st anniversary.

 

Yu Sou Sam/Chou (Linda Chung) – being focused a lot in the series too. This time as the daughter of the evil mother, Yan Hung. She plays great responsibility in quarrelling with her mother so that her mother would regret over her wrong deeds. Involved in boring and disgusting love triangle again. This time she had a lot of crying scenes which are unbearable. Little things happen, then cry. Please!

 

Ah Ka (Moses Chan) – not being focused much except on his early business and love conflict with Kate Tsui and Tavia Yeung. Acted very good in the series too but will not being paid attention as he had won several awards last year.

 

Ah Yuet (Tavia Yeung) – Her crying scene is not much, but acted in a very good skill. Her crying scene is adorable and made people like her. She became so popular after the series, winning the Best Supporting Actress in 41^st anniversary. Her acting is full of emotion.

 

Kah Mei (Kate Tsui) – another villain in the series with no heart in the beginning. Had a lot of tricks and evil plots especially against Ah Yuet who loved Ah Ka. Young aged but with evil heart. At last, she confessed her wrong deeds and told the truth about Yan Hung’s evilness. Does not perform the best in the series, but well okay with her character in the series.

 

Ah Heng (Fala Chen) – she acted very well as the mute girl in the drama which made people sad over her. Her acting is with emotion too and is not like a wood like her younger brother, Chung Chai.

 

Highest rating: 50.

 

=========================

 

 

Conclusion: I still personally thinks that Moonlight Resonance is better than Heart of Greed. More exciting and climax parts in the story, more evil plots, more family conflicts, some memorable and heart-touching scenes.

 

 

What do you think? Do you agree with me? Feel free to comment on your views.

 

 

Happy Valentine!

happy valentine, not to me, but to all those who are dating or even married already ones…

May u have a very nice and romantic day with ur loved ones…

A normal day for me…haiz….haha….yeah..my blog reached over 3000 hits! Congratz to myself for developing this blog so hard!

============================================

Kuala Lumpur 2020???

Everybody especially the locals knew that Malaysia has one great aim…to successfully accomplish the Vision 2020 (Wawasan 2020)…this vision is set by the former prime minister, Tun Dr. Mahathir who brought a lot of changes to the country…

His long-serving to the country benefited the country the most, from the building of the world tallest buildings (by the time of its completion), the Petronas Twin Towers, among the world best airport, Kuala Lumpur International Airport, KL’s landmark tower, Kuala Lumpur Tower, Sepang Circuit, the administrative city of Putrajaya, the National Sports Complex, and many more..

During his years, we saw the successful completion of the Kuala Lumpur 1998 Commonwealth Games (SUKOM 1998)..the games is the second most grandest games in the world, behind the Olympic Games.how lucky that KL had been chosen to host the international games…the moments on the time will never be forgotten.

The main point of this post is that will Kuala Lumpur be able to host the world most recognized games, the Summer Olympic Games in 2020 (XXXII Olympiad) , or commonly known as Olympiad? Let’s see…this video is not the real video of the KL 2020 Olympic Bid, and is not of my work too…

Kuala Lumpur will be considered a developed nation by year 2020, and we are sure the citizens will gave their fully support to the government to host the prestigious games…the government will place a strong bid to be contested with other potential countries in  getting the host…Kuala Lumpur will be a strong contender by the time, but the chance of winning it is very minimal if Malaysia didn’t work hard for it!

To get the host city:

- Have to be a developed nation, with developed society, booming economy and clean politics.

- Have a new proper upgraded infrastructures (new stadiums and new sports complex, the old National Sports Complex can’t be used anymore, it’s old, it’s dirty, it’s doesn’t look nice)

- The government should submit a strong plan on great intention to host the Olympic Games to show that the country has the full capability to host such a big games. Suggest new logo for the city olympic, new theme song, new torch relay logo, new torch relay theme song, etc which are very meaningful. [Like the video below, this is fake and is just a suggestion, haha, the video is found by me from youtube and is not of my work]

- The government should allocates a sum of big budget for this prestigious games. They should save now and don’t put the in your own pockets.

- Have the right amount of people (the willing ones) to support the games and participates in the games especially the opening and closing ceremonies.

- With great creativity (in design of new stadiums, sports complex, opening and closing ceremonies) [make use of latest modern technologies]
