genesis 1:2 realising my visions


a frustration of uncovering my issues

here goes, in the iad-bible, genesis 1:2 Fyp was without form, and void; and darkness was on the face of the deep.

indeed, today my lecturer asked what are we doing on, i waited very long and raise up my hand saying "this is mad" (in soft tone) and "IM DOING CHURCH" there goes, unleashing my dreams of building a house for God. everything i do, i do it not by by own strength but by the spirit. i don't know how am i going to do that, merely obeying what God wants me to do in this event of my life. i trust Him.

circumstances followed by, and i'm stuck, i can't find me issue why i do that. WHY? HOW? WHO? thats goes my all the problems spinning around my head like never before. day 2 of fyp, feeling loose, i'm hanging in mid air currently. su han told me, you need to turn this idea into a concrete idea, true enough, now i just have a muddy idea, it's soft and easily wash away. great work yu ze

i know this problems are temporary, it belong to the natural realm. so here i am, not empty-handed but empty mind-ed. going to walk in the realm of spirit. this time, its gonna be hard i know, there's restriction in this project, i can't do something there's far-fetch. it got to be 'near-fetch' or whatever it call. i will do it this time.

as i begin to think, and questioning myself why wHy WHY? answers/idea flow out, i like what mr george said years ago, 'idea flows like diaheorra.'

thanks to the help of xinni, she asked me some critical questions that keep me thinking. she said, 'what is your target audience.' and this sparks of a crazy idea in me. tomorrow i shall try realising this vision out.

i believe we should not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. for the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal.

genesis 1:1 of my visions


an inspiration sketch, totally don't know what i'm doing


definately a perfect day to start my fyp (final year project), as it was a raining day! river of living water ? i doubted in my heart. su han was my new female lecturer, was once an ex-student of tds (temasek design school). ok, got to work hand in hand with her for 4 beautiful months. that was great, praise the Lord.

hence, in the book of iad-bible, genesis 1:1 God created fyp for iad students.

voosh, and i was in tp library, as usual the most favourable level 7 was in our midst once again. syafiq and i were discussing about world issues on "sustainable designs" sia (singapore institute of architects) was always talking on this common topic which really stir our butts off the chair, an in some instances, off the roof.

sustainable = going green and designs 'things' that can prolong or last. i thinks its totally going no where. as architecture, products is sustained, there's no more room to build or construct newer and more futuristic building. this will in turns lead to a process call architecture froze. nothing new, because everything is sustain, we will see the same old architecture that is sustain, say 50years ago. this is mad. if we think on the macro level and long term viewpoint, this can be a hazard to architecture history.

i have a vision of seeing rapid architecture growth if we move out of our comfort zone. sustainable design is a easy way out. i guess. i believe we can design something that is far off our imagination. don't underestimate the power of human mind.

because, for with God, all things are possible.
