Dubai developments - Civilisation in the making

2008-05-05T04:10:00.009+08:00

below are some of Dubai developments as in jan 08'

the water front view

Dubai Towers represent the centrepiece of 'The Lagoons' development. The towers and the master planned development were designed by TVS. The four towers, ranging from 54 to 97 floors, are clustered to form a choreographed sculpture, representing the movement of candlelight.

Zaha Hadid has designed the Performing Arts Centre, which will present the finest in music, theatre and dance, on onSaadiyatIsland, which Abu Dhabi's ruler, Sheikh KhalifaBin ZayedAl Nahyan, has decided to make one of the world's top cultural destinations and a "beacon for cultural experience and exchange."

Infinity Tower, designed by Skidmore Owings and Merrill (SOM), will stand 80 stories high at 330 meters and will be the world’s tallest tower to feature a 90 degree twist. Infinity Tower will house luxury residential apartments, pools, a state of the art gymnasium, a nursery, conference room facilities, tennis courts and a luxury spa. The innovative design affords apartments on all sides staggering views. Open-space design has been implemented to ensure a minimum of pillars and floor to ceiling windows providing a sense of space and light. A reinforced concrete column will rotate with the twisting shape to create a helix. In addition each floor will accommodate a 1.2 degree twist to achieve the full unique 90 degree spiral.

Arabian Blade. A mixed use tower by architect, Claudio Catalano who says "The structure is devised as a vertical summation of several different buildings like a plant"furbished and intermingled with public and landscaped spaces. The facility will include a hotel, residential housing, commercial and "play spaces".

Hydropolisis the world’s first underwater luxury resort. It will sit 66 feet below the surface of the Persian Gulf and feature 220 guest suites. The Hydropolis, scheduled for completion this year, has faced major delays due to cost issues and concerns over the project's impact on marine life.

Paul's Hardships

2 Corinthians 6:3-13

3We put no stumbling block in anyone's path, so that our ministry will not be discredited.
4Rather, as servants of God we commend ourselves in every way: in great endurance; in troubles, hardships and distresses;
5in beatings, imprisonments and riots; in hard work, sleepless nights and hunger;
6in purity, understanding, patience and kindness; in the Holy Spirit and in sincere love;
7in truthful speech and in the power of God; with weapons of righteousness in the right hand and in the left;
8through glory and dishonor, bad report and good report; genuine, yet regarded as impostors;
9known, yet regarded as unknown; dying, and yet we live on; beaten, and yet not killed;
10sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; poor, yet making many rich; having nothing, and yet possessing everything.

11We have spoken freely to you, Corinthians, and opened wide our hearts to you.
12We are not withholding our affection from you, but you are withholding yours from us.
13As a fair exchange—I speak as to my children—open wide your hearts also.

Lord Lord, i'm sorry for what i've done.

A Father's Love‏

2008-04-16T00:55:00.001+08:00

A son asked his father, 'Dad, will you take part in a marathon with me?' The father who, despite having a heart condition, says 'Yes'. They went on to complete the marathon together. Father and son went on to join other marathons, the father always saying 'Yes' to his son's request of going through the race together. One day, the son asked his father, 'Dad, let's join the Ironman together.' To which, his father said 'Yes' to. For those who didn't know, Ironman is the toughest triathlon ever. The race encompasses three endurance events of a 2.4 mile (3.86 kilometer) ocean swim, followed by a 112 mile (180.2 kilometer) bike ride, and ending with a 26.2 mile (42.195 kilometer) marathon along the coast of the Big Island. Father and son went on to complete the race together.

having a good rest for myself the past weeks. it's been awhile since i last rested. i no longer remember to take breaks ever since i start my design life in temasek polytechnic. eventually my health went deep down. climbing a flight of stair since so far. currently i'm blogging, but i don't feel like blogging now. suddenly there was a rush of uncertainty. loads of things wandering in my mind. for a moment everything stood still and silent flooded my room. a voice lingers in my mind, "hello, are you there?" who is this man? i don't know.

Sheriff: Woman Sat on Toilet for 2 Years

2008-03-31T01:15:00.003+08:00

before you watch the video below, please off my music from my blog.

March 12th, 2008 WICHITA, Kan. (AP) - Authorities are considering charges in the bizarre case of a woman who sat on her boyfriend's toilet for two years _ so long that her body was stuck to the seat by the time the boyfriend finally called police.

Ness County Sheriff Bryan Whipple said it appeared the 35-year-old Ness City woman's skin had grown around the seat. She initially refused emergency medical services but was finally convinced by responders and her boyfriend that she needed to be checked out at a hospital.

"We pried the toilet seat off with a pry bar and the seat went with her to the hospital," Whipple said. "The hospital removed it.

"Whipple said investigators planned to present their report Wednesday to the county attorney, who will determine whether any charges should be filed against the woman's 36-year-old boyfriend.

"She was not glued. She was not tied. She was just physically stuck by her body," Whipple said. "It is hard to imagine. ... I still have a hard time imagining it myself.

"He told investigators he brought his girlfriend food and water, and asked her every day to come out of the bathroom.

"And her reply would be, `Maybe tomorrow,'" Whipple said. "According to him, she did not want to leave the bathroom.

"The boyfriend called police on Feb. 27 to report that "there was something wrong with his girlfriend," Whipple said, adding that he never explained why it took him two years to call.

Police found the clothed woman sitting on the toilet, her sweat pants down to her mid-thigh. She was "somewhat disoriented," and her legs looked like they had atrophied, Whipple said.

"She said that she didn't need any help, that she was OK and did not want to leave," he said.

She was reported in fair condition at a hospital in Wichita, about 150 miles southeast of Ness City. Whipple said she has refused to cooperate with medical providers or law enforcement investigators.

Authorities said they did not know if she was mentally or physically disabled.

Police have declined to release the couple's names, but the house where authorities say the incident happened is listed in public records as the residence of Kory McFarren. No one answered his home phone number.

The case has been the buzz of Ness City, said James Ellis, a neighbor.

"I don't think anybody can make any sense out of it," he said.

Ellis said he had known the woman since she was a child but that he had not seen her for at least six years.

He said she had a tough childhood after her mother died at a young age and apparently was usually kept inside the house as she grew up. At one time the woman worked for a long-term care facility, he said, but he did not know what kind of work she did there.

"It really doesn't surprise me," Ellis said. "What surprises me is somebody wasn't called in a bit earlier."

a place to dream

2008-03-30T01:20:00.004+08:00

life
is a journey that everyone is concerned without knowing it
we just move on and on
trying to achieve our purpose in life
or to some
trying to find what's our purpose in life
WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF LIVING IN THIS WORLD?
that's a question that we unknowingly ask ourselves

through the busyness of our life
we always 'forget' to dream
as a child, i always been dreaming
as i grow up, somehow i 'forget' to dream
or i can say, i'm too busy to dream
"there's no time" "for what?" that's the common reply.
of cause i'm not talking about the dreams you had when you are sleeping
we always need to come back to a place where we can dream
dream dreams!
have a vision in life
you are the driver of your life
not the passenger
everyone is a leader

set aside a moment everyday to dream
dream
and move towards the dream
realise the dream

... ...Your young men shall see visions,
Your old men shall dream dreams. Acts 2:17 (NKJV)

where dreams turn into reality

Architecture / Teddy Cruz’s urban acupuncture

2008-03-19T23:13:00.006+08:00

came across this picture in BLDGBLOG recently
and thought it had an aesthetic visual composition

a blend of research photography and photo collages that looked somewhat like maps but also somewhat like actual photos of urban density.

recently i'm quite into urban design, building civilisation? haha

urban = city + architecture + landscape + infrastructure + people + society + community + religion + transportation + ecological networks + polities + economic + cultural idiosyncrasies + lifestyle + sound etc blah blah

love this composition!

inspiration from Rain Down

2008-01-13T01:41:00.000+08:00

open house maddness went T3 after service
below are some of the results
enjoy! =D

its not been easy battling spiritual dryness
i'm quite inspire by this praise "Rain Down" by Delirious

Looks like tonight, the sky is heavy
Feels like the winds are gonna change
Beneath my feet, the earth is ready
I know its time for heaven's rain, it's gonna rain

Cos it's living water we desire
To flood out hearts with holy fire

Rain down all around the world we're singing
Rain down can you hear the earth is singing
Rain down my heart is dry but still I'm singing
Rain down rain it down on me.

Back to the start, my heart is heavy
Feels like it's time, to dream again
I see the clouds, and yes I'm ready
To dance upon this barren land
Hope in my hands

Do not shut, Do not shut, Do not shut the heavens
But open up, open up, open up our hearts

Give me strength to cross the water
Keep my heart upon Your altar
Give me strength to cross this water
Keep my feet don’t let me falter

thru the sky is heavy, and wind blowing hard against us, we will rely on You more! indeed my heart is dry BUT still i'm singing, i know PAPA God is looking down at his children. i just pray that You would direct our path once again! use US! use US! our hope is in You! Thank God.

something is wrong in the spiritual realm
i'm not sure
weird dreams
stumble-ness?

let us all remind ourselves of the Promises God has for us

PSALM 91

Safety of Abiding in the Presence of God

1 He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High
Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
2 I will say of the LORD, “He is my refuge and my fortress;
My God, in Him I will trust.”
3 Surely He shall deliver you from the snare of the fowler
And from the perilous pestilence.
4 He shall cover you with His feathers,
And under His wings you shall take refuge;
His truth shall be your shield and buckler.
5 You shall not be afraid of the terror by night,
Nor of the arrow that flies by day,
6 Nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness,
Nor of the destruction that lays waste at noonday.
7 A thousand may fall at your side,
And ten thousand at your right hand;
But it shall not come near you.
8 Only with your eyes shall you look,
And see the reward of the wicked.
9 Because you have made the LORD, who is my refuge,
Even the Most High, your dwelling place,
10 No evil shall befall you,
Nor shall any plague come near your dwelling;
11 For He shall give His angels charge over you,
To keep you in all your ways.
12 In their hands they shall bear you up,
Lest you dash your foot against a stone.
13 You shall tread upon the lion and the cobra,
The young lion and the serpent you shall trample underfoot.
14 “Because he has set his love upon Me, therefore I will deliver him;
I will set him on high, because he has known My name.
15 He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him;
I will be with him in trouble;
I will deliver him and honor him.
16 With long life I will satisfy him,
And show him My salvation.”

S'pore comedian 'MC King' collapses and dies

LOCAL celebrity Jimmy Nah, more popularly known as MC King, has died after he experienced breathing difficulties while at home earlier on Friday.

He was 40.

His friends told MediaCorp Radio that he died at about 1 pm at Tan Tock Seng Hospital.

A MediaCorp report said it is not known if the well-known actor had suffered from any health problems. But in his last entry he posted on his blog on New Year's Eve, Mr Nah had wished for good health in the coming year.

Local director Jack Neo, who had worked with Mr Nah on several productions, said he was shocked when told of his sudden death.

"All along, he's very, very healthy. So, I don't know why. I seriously don't know why," Mr Neo was quoted as saying.

Mr Nah had acted in a couple of local movies, including Neo's "Just Follow Law", as well as a number of local drama serials.

song of the day - 愛的呼喚 by aaron kwok

2007-12-24T02:16:00.000+08:00

this year church christmas drama was FUNNY!
esp e part where 愛的呼喚 is being sang in a LAME perspective
the whole day we were singing this song
but we proudly know one sentence, sheng qing de hu han wo

e link to the live concert :
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aYmUBwiOV5I&NR=1

lyric:

不知该怎样说才可以让你明白我的心
从来没有变改纵然是天各一方还是在缅怀

* 爱情是一种信念
无法控制是朝思慕想的誓言对你的爱从没有期限
最爱听你的声音

# 深情的呼唤我唤醒一阙爱歌
荡漾风中接近你呼吸到你的承诺
从此不再犹豫让心中的爱歌成为彼此生命里的主题歌
永远爱我

自由自在的爱
真爱不会有阻隔
情还在心中炽热如火只因跟你在相爱
从来没有疑猜 Repeat *

# 从天荒到地老到生命的尽头
在人生的抉择里找到最好的结果
发应该说出口说不出口不难过
直到石烂海枯也不会后退依然爱我

genesis 1:5 the light Day, darkness Night

2007-12-20T00:11:00.000+08:00

genesis 1:5 God called the light Day, and the darkness He called Night. So the evening and the morning were the first day

this few days been in darkness for quite some time, and thats the reason why i never turn out in school. doing a lot of self thinking to myself and of cause growing my white hair once again. break down upon break down, crying out to Lord at my house below carpark, its really a good place for me. the 4th storey of the carpark, quiet and silence. some spirit haunt me with extremely weird dreams and nightmare. and the "pig spirit" is still there. get out of my i cried out in vain. so that was my darkness.

indeed, light shines the brightest in the dark :)
Thank God

got to make so many friends and soon enough they had become my best friends

verses of the day

2007-11-30T00:46:00.000+08:00

Deuteronomy 28:13 And the LORD will make you the head and not the tail; you shall be above only, and not be beneath; if you heed the commandments of the LORD your God, which I command you today, and are careful to observe them.

Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.

Romans 5:1-5 Therefore, having been justified by faith. we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom also we have access by faith into his grace in which we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. And not only that, but we also glory in tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces perseverance; and perseverance, character; character, hope. Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out into our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was give to us.

words of encouragement from mr holy bible

be a dream builder

2007-11-25T00:34:00.000+08:00

in my life, i come across a lot people who each has a dream in their life
but many told me it hard to realise them
some trying hard to live to their dream
unfortunately, many give up half way
but let me tell you, don't give up people
it may be hard, but endure
those who endure to the last, shall be save
some may told me, i tried so hard, yet there's no result
"im tired", "im just so little", im just a young boy/girl, what can i do?"
no one is too young to do great things
believe in yourself, the power of believe will take you into great heights
to turn dreams into reality
got to do with our mind
change the way you think

some may come across people who despite their dreams
they would said, "c'mon, face the reality!"
some may said, "stop dreaming, it just too big for you"
friends, don't be limited by them
you set your own boundaries
you are the driver of your life
you take control =)
dare to dream, dare to dream big, let no one stop you from dreaming
dream killers are always out there
be strong in your thinking, in your mindset, in your spirit

to be honest, i recently had a big discourage about my own dream
i find myself so weak in school work, i can't do well, just can't present
nothing seems to go in the right way
brain blockage, laziness, no motivation, everythings seems to be against me
fallen apart
and i doubt about my own dream
will i realise my dream one day
for a moment, i nearly gave up
"it's the end, face the reality yuze"
its been a struggle this week and many things just don't work
i ask God, "help me, are you there?"
no reply
no reply
just no reply
today service was great
Mark 10:27 "With men it is impossible, but not with God; for with God all things are possible."
again in Luke 1:37 "For with God nothing will be impossible."
He will even make a road in the wilderness
And rivers in the desert

just wanna encourage that, continue to dream
continue to visualise that you had realise your dream
don't be afraid of what others may said
live to your dream(s)
may all your dreams come true
be a dream builder!

shoot and you will be shoot

2007-11-06T20:18:00.000+08:00

yesterday was a great day where our fellow designers played a shooting game. they put up a great fight but it was definately not friendly. su han was a lovely but highly aggressive player, every sentence i spoke, she got something for me. thank God for her. she motivates me a lot.

was being encourage by some players of this game. si min and Mr 'H'ock. 'H' was a guy who has great impossible dreams he wants to fulfill. i give credits to his attitude, but poor him always got lovely fights with our very own mervin.

this few days was very un-smooth sailing for me. neither i meet waves nor storms, but instead, i met tsunami. totally dry in ideas despite the great amount of water from the tsunami.

an interesting crucifixion was made in design school and people do pay some respect to 'it'

potential site visit

2007-11-03T00:38:00.000+08:00

after much walking on google earth, i'hv decided to walk on some real land. of cos by visiting it.

choosing a site for my project was a crucial stage. i got to work on the site for 4 solid months. this is mad!

one of the potential site was a old run-down building opposite singapore casket. beautiful structure and architecture identity, perfectly coated with thick dust particles, spider-made webs and a cone? yeah a cone. enjoy the pictures below.

genesis 1:3 there was light

2007-11-01T23:25:00.000+08:00

so in the iad-bible, genesis 1:3 god said, 'there is idea!' and there was idea.

went to the most desirable floor in the tp library, the mystical 7th floor. all by myself. i was walking through the book shelves and something caught my eyes.

parallel practices in fashion and architecture

and.. fashion + architecture shared a common arguement = DEconstructivism

there goes the my idea! got to explore more this coming weekend.

thinking back yesterday was the darkest moment of my fyp 'so far' and today, i was back on track, i guess. hopefully my train will reach my desired destination.

indeed, light shines the brightest in the dark

HAPPYmoments VS downFALL

2007-11-01T22:47:00.000+08:00

a class conducted unconventionally - louis i kahn style
and we are having fun eating mee goreng there - idea by the photographer
and e food was v spicy - the mee goreng uncle no mood
life is about balancing - relax... ... ...

- anyway my issue was totally rejected by the class
- realise it been my fault too
- religions building is sensitive
- STUCK
- remember andy fisher word, 'if you are stuck, scrap off the idea, there will be better coming up.'
- unfolding other issues to start on
- got very demoralise as everyone got a issue to move on
- sad
- THINK THINK THINK
- growing my white hairs once again
- cab home

cab home in a low tone

genesis 1:2 realising my visions

2007-10-30T23:36:00.000+08:00

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

2007-10-29T23:48:00.000+08:00

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.
