Tired!!!

....rushing for 2 assignments before the Melbourne Study Trip by next week..

East coast trip n Easter Holiday Day 3

In the day 3 we went to Frecinent Peninsula..where we have conquered the Mount Amos. It was so exciting!! There was only a girl in the 13 - persons hiking team. It took us more than 4 hours to hike this mountain, this girl was exactly the girl that i have mentioned before, who i had just met in the first day of the trip. Apparently she was fresh in this kind of extreme activity. However with fears and tears (I guess) plus determination and courage, she're able to be on the peak of the mountain with us. I have to say I am really impressed by this 20 year-old girl. It was all about teamwork, everyone was helping and taken care of each other. Athough Mount Amos is not the 1st mountain that I have conquered in Tasmania but this time the experience is definitely remarkable.

This is my favourite , not the girl, i mean the picture.

It was so windy on the top of the mountain

It was nearly sunset when we reached the base of the mountain.

East coast trip n Easter Holiday Day 1

I was in the trip to the North East Coast of Tasmania in the past few days. Organised by the MSA (Malaysian Student association), the trip was so fun and exciting. We've been to Bicheno, St. Helens, Bay of fire, Freycinent Peninsula, Sand dune, and Swansea..there are a lot of funny moments in the trip and I've meet many funny people too...it was a really great trip.

the 1st day we dropped by the EcoForest Centre by Robert Morris Nunn, a well known Tasmanian architect.

Holiday!!

Finally I can have a rest. Past few days were really exhausted, there were 2 submission within 3 days, the Building in Technology and Design 7 and Professional Studies which was in in Monday and Wednesday. I had just slept 11 hours in these 3 days. However I was happy that we managed to finish what we wanted to do in time. The PS presentation in Wednesday was great, it was very enjoyable. Each groups dealing with different issues and have presented in very creative method. Some of the group presented it by making short videos and "who wants to be a good architect" (who wants to be a millionaire - architecture version) which makes all of us laughed. Ivonny and Virly groups presented it with making a stop motion story, interpreting the situation and solution to their issues which was also very funny and hilarious. How about our group? We've done it by making a short introduction film plus power point presentation. Me starring all the characters inside the film...my friends said i should study at next building (UTAS School of Performing Arts just next to School of Architecture) instead of architorture. He was kidding of course. We have made till this far, I wouldn't spent so many years and money to study architecture if I don't like it. It is in the blood already, in one and half year I will elegible to become an architect. I woudn't regret about the path that I have chosen because there are nothing to regret of. I think it is the best way and the only way to go. Anyway, I'm very happy now because it's holiday!! Easter break!!!

Greenstar, LEED, BREEAM and CASBEE....

Recently i have tried my best to be friend with Greenstar, LEED, BREEAM, CASBEE and others.
Unfortunately I found that I am really unsuitable for them. What a shame? they might be too difficult for me, too classy I suppose. BREEAM, who comes from UK is definitely a standard and organised gentleman. Classy and sophisticated, he is the eldest of all. LEED is a American who was born in 1998, he is more casual compared to the others therefore he has many friends from all around the world. Greenstar is a local, a Australian who has many commons with BREEAM and LEED however he did has some differences eventhough they have the same ancestor. GREENSTAR has fully adopted to the local conditions which makes himself called Australian. While CASBEE is origin from Japan, I tried very hard to understand him unfortunately I don't know Japanese. He is completely different from the others which he has his very own pesonality and never followed others. I don't like them at first, but I have to make myself to as I couldn't survive in this profession without them....this is life huh?

What am i crapping?? Nonsense!!!!

PS: My classmates would have better understanding of what am I talking about. I think they have same situation with me too...BREEAM is the EBRS(Environmental building rating schemes) from UK, LEED is from U.S, GREENSTAR is from Australia and CASBEE is from Japan.
