big bad wolf is a bastard










big time.
all time.

my humble abode

I've always wanted a place of my own. 

A place I can dwell inside, do whatever I want and leave the world out.

And I'm working on it. Saving money. Less shopping/travelling.

Work work work.. money money money. =P

As an interior designer, I can NEVER decide what I like for myself.
I tried doing my own moodboard in my spare time.. but never happened. Braindead.
One thing that is "still me" would be, dark cozy colors with a hint of bold "happy" color.
Posted some pix here to sorta combine my fav elements..

I once like this.. Hmmm.. Still fancy the different pieces of furniture in the mix of
bold and pastel colors but don't quite fancy the panther's head as the backdrop.
Maybe Audrey Hepburn in monochrome with a hint of red lips or just pastel rainbow strips.. 

Nice. I wonder if I will get bored with black. Hmm.. Apparently NOT. =P

The masculine straight lines are given a feminine kick with accents of
Monroe's lipstick red. Like!! A very personal touch.

Entire feel was right for a cozy place to come home to. Except maybe the
dining chairs.. too bony. And too many things happening at the ceiling.
A dark walnut timber floor would be a bonus effect. Anyway love it.

This is very Zen-ish. I only like the shadow casting on the floor.
A daily warm greeting from the morning sun. 

For young couples or a lone ranger, this concept is very well composed.
I would prefer to tame the look down by replacing that hot pink table with a  rugged
timber coffee table instead to bring out the mustard colors from the backdrop.

A perfect perfect PERFECT place for me to read my books.
Drowned in my jazzy songs with a hot cuppa, looking out on a rainy day.
Oh I want this NOW!!

Never thought a dark turquoise would add so much character
into the kitchen. Not a bad idea. =P

Looks a little cluttered but tastefully done. Maybe not so gungho photos.
Some classic ones, family photos. That will be nice.
Literally made my home very HOMEy, if that makes sense.

I need not a huge space but just a decent space to get cozy with my man and kids in future.
As for my single status now, a small studio apartment will keep me VERY satisfied.

Wonder how will my future abode be if I mixed all my favorite colors, textures and elements all in one place.

And back to work!! Gotta work hard to get my own place. =)

a quickie project

One of the projects I'm working on..
A quick one that took less than 2 months to complete the whole proposal process and fit-out works.
Handover of the unit estimated to be by next Wednesday, I hope, providing there aren't any more changes or add-ons.

after many rounds of amendments.. we shall see how the final outcome might turn out to be..

such a nervous-wreckk

Arhhh... I hope I will feel better after spilling this out.

Yup. It's totally another panic-attack! Fark.
One of those many many days where I am just numbstruckkk.. if such a word exist.
Not feeling numb of pins and needles but more like..
every phrase/question outta of me begins with Fuck.
Questions kept running in my head eversince I woke up like 3 hours ago.
Kept thinking of might-have-or-might-not-have stuff in my head and yes all related to WORK.

I hate my job sometimes. Too many things to consider, too many important decision to make, too many people to control and handle with, too many fake smiles to throw out too.. some told me it's all parts n parcel of life but then some babes do not have to go through all these hassle to get a good life. so why meeee? okay maybe I am just babbling and not thinking straight here but sometimes i do envy those tai-tai's life, evening hi-tea, acting bimbo all the time, shopping 24/7 and and andd.. wait..
I DO LOVE MY JOB!!! but-buttt the depression, frustration and anger that I have to go through.. really really ticked me off all the time!!! I hate my job.. ARghhh see I don't even know if I love or hate my job. What a wreck!!
Yeah, was telling Sarah bout my nervous breakdown earlier and she thinks I'm getting some serious shit "cold feet" before my wedding day kind-of-attitude. *grins* i hope.

I have this project. Not to say very big or such-a-big-of-a-deal..
but somehow I just panicked.
Some stresses that I myself do not comprehend. I hate that architect btw.
He makes my life miserable.
Or are architects all anallish, or they always like to act "like-jack dawson-standing-at-the-bow-of-the-ship-screaming-I'm THE king of the world-nonsense?
Anyway, that's totally a different chapter from this post.

Back to my unnecessary unexplainable panic-attack.. I still kept thinking..
Am I good for the job? Am I doing the right things? What to do next? How to handle? Am I on the right track? Will everything turn out okay? What if I screw it up? What if I make a wrong decision? What if What if all-the-wayyyy..... *grunts*

I know I have to do this first then do that later and thaat thatt thaaattt in the end..
but somehow my mind is jumbling everything up.. whatthefuckkk!! I know!! argh..
Like I don't even know how to make a priority list!!
I need to relax.. and chill.. and slowly plan things through. Okay not too slow 'cos I ain't got that much time but at least get things straighten out and start commencing on one by one whichever the priority list runs on.

I'm feeling sooo lethargic today.
Thanks to my blocked nose and sky-high fever temperature.
Is that why i'm going gaga today? I never felt this way in such a long time.
Anxiety Disorder.
Will I suffer a psychological collapse?  *faints*


God pls help clear my monsoon mind.

ipoh-nizing

Been piling up with works. Very busy.

Stress which leads to numerous times of brain-dead symptoms.

Well, I survived again. Lucky me.

Remember one of my previous post *click* when I went Ipoh for a one-day work trip.

Have been working on the project since.. layout plans done but not quite 100% confirmed yet..

Clients have been kind enough but typically pushy with the deadlines..

Have been working on the preliminary 3D proposals these few days.

Here's some sneak peek. *grins* in monochrome of course.

capital of Perak...

I am working on some drawings and design concepts now.

Hence the visuals from the project I'm headache-ing with.

Taking a 5 minutes break to pen a short post here.

Ipoh has always been just a "quick-food-stop" for me whenever we're on the way to or back from Penang. Well, Ipoh just didn't seem that much of a WOW factor to me but I did realize long time ago that the architectural sights they have were pretty interesting at every corner of Ipoh Old Town. Old shophouses, the Moorish-style railway station, town hall, authority buildings, banks etc. Back to the British Colonial Era, pretty cool, I must admit..

in the car: snapped nearby my site

my new project site at Old Ipoh Town

Trivia:

Do you know Ipoh is the fourth largest city in Malaysia?

Hehehe.

Site 4 hours away on a Sunday?

Working on a Sunday...

All the way to Penang..

Very last minute trip.. exhaust the hell outta me.

Thank goodness, I have great companion throughout.

some things just simply stand out

I've always like design.
Concepts, colors, textures.. ambience.. the feell...
How you can move just several things around one space...
within minutes... portraying totally different views,
sharing totally different feel with just a simple play of colors, textures and lighting.

Let's share some pix.. not to say that I like them in whole..
but some bits and pieces from the image that stands out..
where we can interpret them into another whole piece of different design.

Going online, surfing, reading books, browsing magazine.. exploring new places..
whenever you're in a sudden need or rush to bullshit advise your clients...
these things helped a lot in generating "sudden" ideas to bull provide genuine opinions..
Right??

i've always like raw design. rugged. bricks, concrete, a bold color that stands right out.
A texture that you'll never get bored of or "out-date"..
Modern can get easily bored off.. or just walk into Ikea. *grins*

I never like things too plain. No lining, no grains, no plush.. nah-uh.. *shakes head*
Well, I just can't never stand a place way toooo modern or so-called-self-proclaimed-minimalism for my own personal liking.
When your client tells you, they like simple simple.. minimalism.. little bit enough.. etcetc...
simply means.. no budget lor. *groans* so can save money to buy a 30k stupid couch that nobody will notice the branded logo.. and worst feels like some china-made polyestor sofa that made your backside itchy

Avant Garde not that bad either. Modern classical? hmm.. or maybe some vintage items standing out in front of a plain muddy boring color. yummy..


A designer's taste changes from time to time.
So bear with me.. beautiful people.

xoxo

sad-nya aku.


...

how about?

when i thought everything gonna be over..
He popped some silly ass ideas to 'beautify' the already things.
I just hope he can stop everything he's trying to do.
Just stop embarrassing himself.
With all due respect, stop your brain cells from grinding super fantastic ideas n suggestions tat even Einstein can't keep up.
Seriously not giving me a breath of fresh air.

Just hope someone will go screw his stupid hideous kitty lamp..
And tat joker doraemon lamp too.

colourful "cheerful" paints

Due to my seldom postings.. I was pretty caught-up in work..
I took these pix from the sales office project i've been busy-ing with for months..
Well... disappointment. A huge one.

As you view the pix below..
Disclaimer: Pix below is heart-breaking.
Though we are the IDs.. end decision are made by that nosy client.
Crazy silly decision-makings. ARgh..
Understood the true meaning of cina-peks.

Alright... cut the crap.
Let's see the post today is about.. this playroom.
A space for the kids to lepak when the parents are busy loitering around the showhouses..
enquiring and yakking away...
Well, we proposed something very different from what you see below.
Total contrast... but he claimed... "ma fan" and "no budget"
Fine then. He said he settle the kids' playroom deco himself.
Fine with us too right? Save work.

They found two guys... no idea they're painter.. or cartoonist.. or pro or whatsoever..
around Serdang area.. Mines Wonderland Shopping Complex to be exact.
Hired them to draw for 2 days. 1 buck per sq ft.
He claims kids only like Mickey Mouse. He love saying, "I want Q Q things.." (Q=cute)

*rolled eyes*



So they drew him colorful Q Q "murals".
Ideas from those jigsaw puzzle you can buy off rack in supermarkets.

So did you spot anything unusual?? Ermmm unique... colourful? or Q Q??
Look not bad from far la hor...
Mai hiam beh pai lar... right??

What I don't understand is...
Which I don't really understand is...

Donald Duck cock eye 1 ar??

Wait... I mean..
All Donald Ducks cock-eye 1 ar????

These are not the only flaws we saw here. I just not pointing out all.
He said.. "Kids won't know so much thing anyway.."
Look I might sound like a bad ass... critizing artists' painting..
tho i think i can do better
Don't get me wrong.. I'm not against the painters..
I'm just furious with the client's decision.
Disappointed and pissed with him.
Old bafoonn.. ughh!!!
I did mention above 1 sq ft - 1 buck right?
These coloured pieces of walls cost approx 3k plus.


Worth a not??
Tell me what you think.
I really want to know.




End of the day. Client happy. Sudah.
