Pre- Final Review

2008-12-19T05:14:00.000-08:00

These are the face after working from day to night for a whole week.

This is the place after work piaing for 1 whole week (day to night)

This is my workstation, took half of adol's territory, and its clean, very clean..

This is our checklist, and the competition chart, it shows, that TC done a lot of work, and he is no.1, adol is the first runner, and weelick is SUCKS.!!

after piaing for a long time, we din Visit ASDA that week, and luckily we did store some mince beef in the freezer, since i'm the champion, so i have to cook for them, and this is so called the worst dinner ever..(there is another 1 in Little John Street , A.L.L** + Jonathon Tung).

**A= Adolphus, L= Lai Wee Lick, L=Lim Terk Chyang.

So this is how it looks like....(SHIT)

Last Night, my model is done, and others still doing...gagaga~~
Looks good in photo, coz u can't see the glue!!

Big 1 witht the Small 1~~~

Model in context!!

Adol's Model, big and small

Adol and his model~~
Adol's model in context

WeeLick's Model in context, made by ah Moon

Weelick's structural model. ( he din put on the skin, coz he got no time, so he said he wana shows how the structure work)!

Here we are, coming to the almost end of Semester 1, and the hard work doesn't get good result!

adol, 25 A3 + 2 well made Models = C C D C B
Wee Lick 20 A3 + 1 well made model + 1 not so well made model = D D D E F
TC, 33 A3 + 2 well made models = C C D D B

but we got good comment from the professor( and yet still get lower marks than other with 10A3 + 2 very not well made model) and we are really disapointed 99 or sial!!

New Skill in Scotland: Hair Cutting!!!

2008-11-30T15:01:00.001-08:00

Before... After having party for my frens, winston & adam's birthday, have a little chat then started to experiment the first time ever cut and style my own hair~~~

Cut... i wish i have a close up shot on the black scissor (the one with a lot of in in out out like that 1), but i'm too lazy walk out this door to shoot it! but anywhere, just to explain that we borrow this special scissor from jonathon~ NOTE: he is an architect, not a hair stylist!!!

Then after about 15-20mins slowly and carefully cut without much concept and ideas in the design, i look younger and more energetic..... cool right~!! new skill in Scotland!

UK Furniture- Made by TC for TC

2008-11-01T10:13:00.000-07:00

In UK, is hard to get cheap furniture even for used office desk. Being very kiam, i took some tiles from the store room, and turn my bedside table into a laptop table. However, the bedside table is exactly the size of my 17" laptop. where am i going to put my mouse? Clever me to cantilever the long tile, so that it create a platform that ngam ngam for my mouse + Iphone Dock~~ Cheers!!

Then i use the cupboard which have the exact height of a table as my working desk and drafting table.

how about chair? there are 3 of them in my kitchen, so i took 1, and bring it back for dinner and lunch!! by doing this, i can kiam 40 pound for a table and 50 pound for an office chair!!!

and the bonus of doing this is~~~~i got an uncomfortable workplace to stop me for long hour working!
