Watched Babette's Feast after reading one of the articles in Eating Architecture. Very interesting Movie. and how the movie is related to ornament is crime. These people see eating such food as crime, a huge sin. While the general say the feast is like a love affair. at the end Babette spent all her lottery money on the feast, she said artisit is never poor. and blahblah something something...give me a chance i can do my best.
i have a chance now, can i do the best?
keep making.

why am i here ...again?
i said this before, not going to Rome is probably so far one of the best decisions. It is not only important to know what you want to be as a designer in a long run, but knowing what you want NOW is vital as well. and back to 1 year ago, what i needed was someone that values me just the way i am. I need someone that can help me. So I stayed in ames, not for reasons of money, family or blah blah. I stayed because i want to study with Mitchell S., and i want to spend more time in DATUM. Both turned out really rewarding. The time i spent in Jason B's studio critiquing projects from new students turns out to be good. I learned to talk about my project better through talking about other peoples project. And i got to exposed to new ideas, new ways of making. I learned to respect ood things.
and now i am here. completed a project that i am more proud of than the ones that i had before and nominated to CSI competition. I was on my way to get a project built, and the same project was awarded the 2nd place of "un-competition project" sponsored by Architectual Chicago Club. Some odd things that i did was selected in MU exhibition. I am finally on my way to......i dont know what.
They say..any tiny bit helps, so i did all that, but maybe i dont really know what i want to be....not yet.
Now i am creating this "place for one person to eat". This is something that i want to do, but i forgot how i first thought of doing it.
Since when am I not willing to be doing every-day architecture? since when did i departure from building design?
I forgot the reason that i wanted to be an architect, or...did i ever had a reason?
I forgot the reason that i depart, or ...have i really belonged to traditional building design?
I forgot what i am doing this for, why i want to be a designer.

golden quote
i suddenly remember this thing from a year ago: be more clear, and you will get better. from "you-know-who" lol ahaha.
but it's quite crucial in order to make myself better.
there's time to time that i talk in circles. the value of which is only kinda valuable to myself. for others, it's kinda like..i am talking 10 things in one sentence. And in most cases, i am. By that, i am not saying that i dont have the verbal communication capability. In fact, i do, under certain circumstances. I talk better when i am on the topic that i have been thinking about, and thought through. I talk better when i am familiar with the topic and its content. I talk better when i am passionate, but not too passionate. lol In fact, under the above circumstances, i talk way better than most of the native speakers do. not mention that most of them are not willing to put their voice out there. I am.
That is problematic, but yet good too.
