Somebody call 911!

Pardon me the constant post of poppin' lockin' music videos but the beats are just too irresistible! :)

It's Saturday, THE WEEKEND again finally!


Speaking of having a relaxing 2 days but there are still, site visits to be made:

Melbourne Uni Open Day tomorrow and the bunch of Ann-Marie's-silo-us has to attend the uni's Performing Arts Dance School at South Bank for this-semester's-architectural-design-dance-school-that-we-are-to-design-sake.


Anyhow, "music school" is still keeping design studio inflame :)

@ South Bank this time, hopefully we'll arrive the place smoothly despite the fact that a bunch of us got lost when we tried searching for CHUNKY MOVE studios also @ South Bank last Tuesday under the rain! =-="

After meandering around the building, yes we actually CIRCLED the weird-shaped-copper-building a few times before we finally found the "CHUNKY MOVE" that were placed at the most nonstrategic location of the building.

Tired and body-aching after the 1 hour dance.

Twisting and turning and rolling on the floor were the few steps that are to be followed while the instructor danced the contemporary dance.


And we ended up ROFL (rolling on the floor laughing), literally.

A few random shots taken during design communication class which was about photography this week with all of the students squeezing around each other to capture the models which were lit up by the professional architecture photographer.

Meanwhile, I think Joe's-sweet-tooth-bug is attacking!




No joke.

These few days I've been craving for sweet surrenders which are rather sinfulicious! :|

OH NO JOE T____T WHY OH WHY!

Trying my best not to head to Max Brennars nor Freddo's, I ended up galloping whatever "resources" I have at home:


NUTELLA that makes wonders:



Just Nutella and Strawberries needed okay this is not even a recipe :|


Splurge a spoonful of nutella onto the succulent strawberry.

YUMS!!

And


Presenting to you Frozen Forerro-Roche-Alike
NUTELLA BALLS!
(kinda obscene name we have here =-=)




Very simple recipe requiring only cereals and nutella.


Mix sufficient amount of nutella with a hand full of SpecialK and start mixing:




Sprinkle a little milk powder onto them before popping them into the freezer and wolllahhh~
Very Brunetti's alike huh! :)


Yes I think my masterpiece can easily fit in.

Researchers at the University of Bath, now suggest that people who eat chocolate regularly are happier than those who do not! A group of 900 people were divided into three - one ate a bar of a well-known brand of chocolate a day, another was asked not to eat chocolate, while the third were free to eat chocolate or not, as they liked. The group reported their feelings via a Web-based interactive diary over a week. In the chocolate group, 70 per cent said they felt happy, compared to 35 per cent in the chocolate-deprived group. In the free choice group, 60 per cent felt happy.

Dr. Adrian Owen, a neuroscientist at the University of Cambridge, said that recent brain imaging studies have shed new light on why chocolate has an impact on mood. It's often assumed that chocolate contains psychoactive substances that affect brain chemistry. In fact, it is more likely that the unique combination of taste, texture and aroma in a bar of chocolate stimulate the pleasure centres than any other food.

Contradiction!

P/s: Feeling better right now, there are so many other things in life to care about other than architecture, the creator of LiYinism fashionTECTURE is yet to be revealed to the world :)

syok sendiri and self motivating just ignore me.

Note: Okay this might sound as though I'm really kiasu, ranting over not being picked and stuff

Duh. Like I bother?


No.



To be honest, am quite disappointed with myself.

Could have done better but assuming my 'amazing' sketches will kick-ass but what now, not even short-listed really hurts.

I could have done better but no, still with the same old manual story board, everything manual which has been my gift, but at the same time becoming a nuisance.

I was really confident with my design, having everything thought out, even I was satisfied with my spatial arrangement, the fluidity of space having the "Moulin Rouge" as the central courtyard and fantasizing it in real life with all light shimmering in the night of Paris like diamond and sequins oh-so-prettyyy~~

having nto design this building for the past 2 weeks has made me affirmed with my choice of studying architecture. I though I would be chose, would be noticed, would be submitted, would fly to Paris but all of this just whamp into dirt about an hour ago.

Well, this shall just be my verbal punching bag.


No use crying over a spilt milk.

What's done is done.

This is just a phase of life, a phase of my architecture career?



Well I don't know but all I know is I shouldn't be too confident with my ability to sketch but at the same time keep yearning for new knowledge and get out of my comfort zone!




Emo things aside!

In a happier tone :)


Talked to one of my studio mate just now, really a sweet girl with both of us having something in common, BAD IN REMEMBERING NAMES what the eff eff eff eff.....

We are both in the same classes for structures tute and studio and I must say, just having a few words with her made my day. I am always wanting to get to know my peers but having a language barrier has always pulled me back. It is as though there are lots to share in common but when it comes to the angmoh I will always think, "maybe I should keep it to myself to save the humiliation in case they don't get what I mean with my slang," but turns out, we shouldn't always think that way and should always voice out our thoughts whenever where ever, even how stupid it may sound! Am telling you, this really works, nobody really judges here and it doesn't matter if it's just a small lousy issue that you've just raised.

But yet again, that is yet to be adapted.

How I wish I have the courage everytime to say "hey how is it going" to the people around me like there's no tomorrow instead of shoving away and live in my own world.

Semester 2 in Melbourne, I think I will miss the environment and social life here by end of this course. *emo*

PLUS!!

THE CHI CHI IN YOU!!


Have been really busy with Ruthie working on our online shopping bloggie!
I know it was spiffychichi but due to the long hard-to-remember-name we decided to cut it short and name it chichi.blogspot.com and what the heck dunno who on earth go and waste the name chichi in blogspot! seriously only a post saying, "have anyone seen the movie bla bla crap" are you kidding me @)((!!!

Long story short, we had pictures taken and blog created,

When there's a will, there's a way:

Everything on:

Loads of changes happening oh well life, oh life, changing for the better! :)

And guess where we headed to again last night :O

Why are looks always so decieving!?!?!

What a playboy but yet we are all over for him somebody please slap us, no.... HIM!
SLAP HIM!

for being such a playboy =_____="

Going for dance class next Tuesday with the studio mates.
Really looking forward to it with whole bunch of us kisiao in the dance studio.

Not being a hypocrite, Ann Marie (our lecturer) will be joining the fun too, dancing with us! :)

*anticipate*

It's such a dilemma, I think I can be an architect but afraid of facing the 'real world'.
We shall just see what architecture brings me in the future.

architecture oh architecture.

Saw this from my dear xinyun's blog,

Abundance of Motivation out there!♥

you just have to search for them.


Note: This post was written before I got to know about the space limitation for picture posting in blogspot which obviously shows that it's been written a few days/ weeks back! (7/24/2009)

Finished studio crit today and attended 'Odile Decq' s lecture at Sidney Myer's and I must say, not having English as her first language but still managing to win competitions around the world really inspires me.

From now onwards, I shall not let 'not-being-able-to-convey-my-ideas-and-thoughts-using-English-fluently' pull me down.


As long as there's the idea, nobody else can pull me back and although I'm not good in English but still you shall see, LiYinism will soon conquer the architecture FashionTECTURE world (an utopia which is created by of course LiYinism herself which nobody else will live in unless you are well, as bimbotic as LiYinism okay I don't know where this is getting but anyway! The point is,) Although English is not your first language, you should not let that bring you back and can still excel! :)


9am class 2mr for design communication!

Kind of excited since it'll be a drawing class-me love!


Okay, back to the post title:
I don't remember what I've written but instead of letting it grow mould in my blogger draft, might as well post it and of course you can choose to ignore :P


++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++



Recently, or should I say just today, there has been little events happening around me which inspired me in writing this post. First it was reading Marcussism's kaching blog post about the Oprah Winfrey show interviewing successful millionaires and how Marcus is being inspired by them.


And then while skyping with mee, so happened mee was reading Robert Kuok Hock Nien's notes on the past sixty years, the richest man in South East Asia which reportedly has the net worth of $10billion on May 2008 by Forbes.


And then I come to realize life is full of mishap, we just have to take things as they come and learn from mistakes that we've done without letting them bring you down.




Despite my disinclination towards Mandarin during primary/secondary school days (because of the diabolical examinations and 三字经 and endless 默写 that don't make sense), Chinese idioms which I find interesting and meaningful have been imbued within myself. wahlao like very geng *slap*


失败乃成功之母


the cliché idiom that has been used again and again which I believe every Chinese students in this world has used it at least once in their life for comprehension/ essays, which eventually made it not as cogent and emphatic as it should be anymore?



失败乃成功之母


It may not imply to you right now but if you think through the meaning of this idiom thoroughly, you'll realize that it's actually an explicit 7 characters which will keep on inspire and encourage you whenever you feel down. People tend to get deprived over unfortunate events that happen around them and give up on what they truely believe and care.


Living in the subjective world, we are all free to have our own thoughts in everything that is happening around us, never stop believing in what you believe, this is what I learnt in the architecture world. I guess in this boarderless world, we tend to get influenced by people around us, afraid of being scrutinized, being looked down, being judged.


No doubt being "am not a girl, not yet a woman" lady, I was often swayed and influenced by people around me, "intoxicated" by fame, money, power, and glamorous things that are out of my reach.


envious, lust, greed, jealousy.....

All these negative words which linger around my mind, "I am so envious over this person, that person.... Bla bla bla has so many holidao/geng things, I want them too...... oh she's so pretty, I want her body... blablabla " the rant goes on.


And then after reading Robert Kuok Hock Nien's notes in the past 60 years, I then realized that we should always be contented of what we have, never be fall for lust.



And then there's this more geng one, after watching "the Secret" my ALL TIME FAVOURITE:


"You are the MASTERPIECE of your OWN LIFE."


Why bother about what people think of you, life is too short to satisfy others than yourself.
Just live your life, and cherish and be contented of everything you have.

知足长乐 ：）

However (why are there so many contradiction =-=), we should not be complacent of what we have and should always strive for the best, achieving what you want, and I still want a CHANEL what the eef eef eef eef ...... well as I said, strive my best, achieve what I want, don't let anything come my way, as simple as ABC :)


♥ Random shots taken with warmth from home ♥

Cutie pies Yang boy and ~Mee~ giving me smoochies~
(captured at the wrong timing with my cacat-ed face =-=)

And the pretty eyes that Yang boy drew using the msn paint tool ain't it amazing!

Yang boy's creative juices are definitely higher than mine I must admit.


And pulling off lookbooklook when I was bored.

Ain't the scarf looking like a wax dripping :)

Loving the detail and lace of my tights and yes Jia,
the TONY BIANCO will be yours when you come! :)

okay okay time is ticking very quickly tick tock tick tock!

It's already the 2nd week of final sem and AD3B Moulin Rouge project is coming to an end without even having a proper start what a short and abrupt project O_O"

I wish time could just tick slower but not having the ability to succumb, I guess I'll just have to identify the resources that are around me and make full use of them!

Final sem so aza aza fighting!

May you have a great week ahead~

loves xoxo

♥ VII ♥

Thanks so much to Jesslina who captured this 'glamorous' shot last night.


VII night out was packed and siao but meeting unexpected familiar faces around was definitely thrilling and fun :) ♥


hopefully there'll be a next round soon, after archi design Moulin Rouge next week which is pretty much causing me nauseous right now :O



And Design Communication stationery is definitely gonna burn a hole in my pocket T__T

$110 for a 12 grey scale set of marker, plus $4 for a UniPin drawing pen which only costs RM4 back in Malaysia.



DOLLAR TO DOLLAR ARE YOU KIDDING ME!


Everything revolves around money, you even have to be affluent to be an artist, free of concerns about running out of materials and not having enough penny to buy them this is just not making any sense.


Oh very random one!

Got this from ♥ haiyo-where-else-me-am-loving-it-Camberwell-Market ♥ with Joe when she came over to Melbourne:






Pardon my dunno-what-was-I-posing-finger and AIN'T THE PINK BAG THE LOVELIEST THING EVER! :)

It was supposed to be a pouch/bag but the stripe was snapped off and innovative me used it as a pencil case instead!

And the best part it:


IT FREAKIN' COST ME

eat-one-HungryJacks/McD-ice-cream-also-boh-liao-50 CENTS!



Yes gawk shocked amazed whatever you want,
