Time flies, it's been more than a month since I moved to Delft. Haven't posted in some time so here're some updates ;)

First of, my MP3 player broke. Well, it still ons and stuff, but the connection where the headphones plug is inserted is not responsive. Meaning when I insert the headphones, I hear no sound. Sigh... Can't blame anyone but myself. I've been listening to Jay Chou's newest album (sigh, disappointing album... at least for me) as I cycle and I put the MP3 player in my jeans front pocket. I think the peddling of the bike caused constant compressions on the connection and it finally gave way. Now when I ride I can only hear the wind against my ears...

Talk about riding, my bicycle stand broke yesterday. I was parking my bike when I thought that the angle of the bicycle stand was too big and the bike was leaning on it too much, so I thought maybe i will use my foot to press it down and straigten it some... Who knows, the metal rod gave way and snapped! Got it replaced at 8 Euros. Okay lah, the old uncle was friendly... It was the 2nd shop I went to, cuz the 1st bicycle shop just told me "collect on Tuesday", as it was Saturday and the shop has 1 or 2 customers more than usual. Yea as if it will take so long to fix a stand. The uncle that helped me only took 5 minutes!

That's a common problem I guess... Here everything is laid back "relack"... order food, wait 20-30 minutes too. And don't get me started on DUWO or TU Delft's administration efficiency.


Since someone was on the topic of what we want for Christmas, here's what I want...! A Yamato Macross 1/60 scale YF-19!!! Super articulation and details! Nice!!! I WANT!!! Of course, I also want everyone around me to be happy and healthy.

Booked tickets for Chet to come over on 18th December, and changed our flight back to the 10th January (instead of 15th Jan). Let Ma and Pa know k...? Trying to plan an itinerary... My target: Prague, Venice, Rome, Madrid, Barcelona, Paris, London, Amsterdam (in sequential order). But alas, I know it is impossible to cover them in 20 days. Seasoned travellers (like MH) please advice on what I should drop, how long I should stay at each place, etc. And also, how much $$$ I need for a budget trip :) Thanks.


Been working on some Sketchup for Technical Studies... Sigh, construction and detailing modules are actually more appealing to me than design. Shd I switch to DTM track? Anyway, this is Mirano's Hospital, a MAT building typology which is a winning entry in a competition but didn't get built (what's new right...?). Since it wasn't built, it was up to us to preserve its original concept of being a flexible building, but design its structure and construction and tectonics... Kewl shit!
