--- Mosques ---

The traditional Javanese form of a mosque was a tall, multi-roofed, open hall space supported by timber columns. The heirachy of the roof depended on the purpose, the types of rituals and activities carried on there and the social status of its occupants. During a ritual, the position of a moment of pause or an object held in veneration should be marked with a centralized superstructure. The superstructure forms the peak of the mosque. It is supported by four timber columns (saka guru), occasionally six.

I decided to put in some glazing for the windows and glass doors in my model. I had bought some thick perspex from Bunnings yesterday for this specific purpose. Perfectly cut ... well not quite. Good enough. All was good until...

FREAKING GLUE MARKS DO NOT COME OFF PERSPEX.

Uhu glue is very messy. A bit of glue smudged here, a lil bit there ... and the whole piece of perfectly transparent (yes, it really is a stunning looking piece of plastic) turns into quite literally... a piece of shit.

I have a few things to add to my list of "useless skills in life".
- Solving a Rubik's cube to a satisfactory time *check*
- Folding 1000 paper cranes *check-ing*
-  Solving the Rubik's cube blindfolded
-  Create some of Satoshi Kamiya's masterpieces

I have a sudden obsession with his works. He is a Japanese origami master. 3 of his works which I want to (eventually) learn are:

One word I've used to sum up my 4 month holiday - productive.

Not in any biological way. Don't want any questions about that.

Productive as in, earnt some cold hard cash, made/making a few models (optional of course), purchased a new wardrobe and maintained a half decent social life. Oh and not to mention my wonderful incident with my splendid left ankle.

In chronological order (merely coz I really can't be bothered thinking...much), HK holiday popped up first. No need to repeat what I said in my earlier journal.

Hong Kong was good for the 1st time ever in my life! Parents? PSSSHH what parents? Ditched those two loooong ago =D That's the way shopping is supposed to be I realized. They even referred to themselves as the "Mobile Bank". Damn right they are! ^__^

As for my shopping list...markers...yea? I got a few, but not as many as I would have thought. There wasn't the brand I was after. However, I did buy a pack of 24 of PANTONE Universe. They seem to have an excessive number of pink markers in that box >_>

-Balls?- (is that the word for more intense crying? o_O)

You get the point.

As of tomorrow 12:30pm, I will be leaving home to go to Hong Kong for a month long holiday. Scheduled to be back on the 31st of December morning, but possibly earlier than that as I have no place to stay for 2 nights towards the end of the holiday. We'll see...

I will be having birthday while I'm in HK. December 16th. No friends cept for one. o_O

Today I walked. I walked a lot more than I usually do. Today, I walked as much as my whole semester's worth of walking. So much walking.

Some friends and I organized a surprise belated birthday party for another good friend. Things ran as smoothly as a....baby's bottom? How cliche.

We need better weathermen and people who work at the Beaureu. We nominated the 19th to hold this awesome day...not knowing it would be the hottest day in all of November.

Curse those damn flies! At least 3 of us ALMOST had the extra special appetizer from the Australian menu - the common housefly.

Hm...so what have I been up to lately...

Archi design model, archi design folio, DDM folio. Nothing fascinating about that kind of stuff.

Oh oh... ZELDA PHANTOM HOURGLASS is a freaking awesome game. As good as Ocarina of Time, if not better! The puzzles are extremely original (some due to the cool new features of the NDS) Like... you can blow on the torches to put them out. No, the NDS is not air pressure sensitive...that'd be crazy. I think it's the sound/voice recognition that does the trick.

Maybe it's just me feeling guilty sleeping till noon, and not doing enough work to compensate for the "wasted" time. >_>

I've been spending the day designing a house/cabin for an architect by the name of Kazuyo Sejima, as part of the subject Architectural Design 1B. Having built a model and done a drawing of an initial design, I decided to change my mind completely. Sigh...design just isn't my thing. > > > *NEEDS INSPIRATION* < < <

I bought a DS.

I got a cold.

Last week of class before mid-semester break.

ZOMG! I DIDN'T FAIL HISTORY!

That seems to be the latest news.

I've been wanting to get a DS for a fair few weeks now.  After many weeks of "Yes I should get one coz it's cool!" and "No, I'm going to stop playing within a month!", I decided that putting a $188 dent in my bank account was for the greater good.

For those who know me "well" (lol 4 watchers), I'm usually a person who sleeps before midnight.

But.

Those times have loooooong passed. All thanks to this wonderful subject called "Architecture Design 1B" I'm breaking PB (personal bests) after PB after PB. Averaging 4 hours less sleep everyday, I am going to share my sleep deprivation effects with you.

1) For some reason, I started WAKING earlier (no matter what time I slept)
2) You start to forget things. (I left my phone AND my water bottle on one day)

Uni is...going well. Semester 2 owns Semester 1; I don't sleep though history anymore! Semester 1 history's lecturer's voice was like a lullaby (NO IT WAS NOT SWEET), it was b-o-r-i-n-g. Now the new guy speaks so fast you HAVE to pay attention - which is a good thing I guess.

For those who are considering doing Architecture in Melb Uni, make sure you have a REALLY deep pocket. Week 1 - $10 of balsa wood; week 2 - $15 of balsa wood, etc... not to mention other gadgets like cutting mat and all sorts of other expensive stuff.
