    Moving On... Saturday, January 07, 2012 |

    Hi all. Here's informing you after 1 year of hiatus, I've finally got my arse around to start a new blog... The URL is as follows:

    See you there!

    1/2 a year on the job... Wednesday, August 04, 2010 |

    Involvement began after piling works and ground slabs were completed... till now, structural works are done. Finishes are more or less chosen, nothing too fancy. A pity I wasn't involved in the conceptual design, but along the way, while running the proj on site, there were alot of detail designing involved, which was kinda fun...

    Just the other day a colleague at work was pointing out that alot of private houses featured in magazines are very showy, hardly "private" or "personal" as it should be. Every corner, every surface has been filled with design elements, killing the space.

    Hopefully, there'll be enough subtlety in the detailing of this house to achieve a certain balance... Perhaps it's why I like it now, in its bare naked form. Now the light and shadows and the texture of the deliberately pronounced formwork visible on the off-form concrete really appeals to me.

    Going home early has its perks too...!


    Chet's Birthday Celebrations...! Sunday, July 25, 2010 |

    Chet's birthday fell on a Wednesday one week before an aki competition that I was participating on behalf of the office. My involvement was more than I liked it to be, so... we decided to celebrate before and after the birthday. Didn't do anything on the actual day though, much to my wife's dismay... I hope I made it up to you though... with 2x presents and 2x celebrations...!



    On the eve of Chet's birthday we went to Shokudo Raffles City. Food was nice, we had a feast. Didn't turn out as expensive as I expected. This afternoon we went to Goodwood Park Hotel's L'Espresso Cafe for high tea. Delicious food, good atmostphere. Thanks William for the recommendation, can always trust you when it comes to food :)

    V for Vendetta

    "Voilà! In view, a humble vaudevillian veteran, cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of fate. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is a vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished. However, this valorous visitation of a bygone vexation stands vivified, and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin vanguarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition. The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta held as a votive, not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous. Verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose, so let me simply add that it's my very good honor to meet you and you may call me V."
