Every once in a while, you come across something on the net that is just simply beautiful, breathtaking and leaves you wondering "how on earth did they do that??!" It's been a long time since I saw something like that, but I must say, this just absorbs you into it, setting you off on an endless, timeless clicking and staring into screen. I was totally mesmerised. Trust me, click HERE now. But be warned, you might not be able to stop...
Well, some of you might have heard that I've been going for cooking lessons. I'm supposed to be learning how to cook french food, but it seems to me that anything cooked with red wine or brandy is considered french cuisine. Anyway, here's something that one of friends drew for me. I thought it was really cute. Ha ha. Liked it a lot so I added some colour to it and voila! I really like to cook. Real good food to me is a subtle mix of different flavours and tastes. If anyone of you knows a really good recipe, leave it in the comments!
I'm experimenting with a new way of showing my photos. For some of you, you might have seen this before. No, I did not write the code for this myself. Ha ha. I have no idea how! But I think the person who did it is quite brilliant! Well, this is just a try out, using geocities free web space (while hesitating to pay for my own, though ultimately I think I would have to...) If the photos look kind of random to you, that's because they are! And if you find some unflattering pictures of people in there, ermmmm.... shhh! Don't tell the person about it! Ha ha. Like I said, I just wanted to see if geocities would load my page up properly. Better pictures to come soon. Anyways, enjoy this. :)
What?
How would you Talk About a Place? What makes a place more than just a space? Through this multi-media exhibition we will show 10 unique ways to understand a place. Together with an international public forum on making architectural design more available to the people, this event will heighten people's awareness on place-making, and get them Talking About Places!
Why?
The public, especially youths in Singapore today need to know that they are an important voice of the society and city in which they live in. They have a big part to play in shaping and influencing the kind of place they want to live in. We hope that as young people making a statement about the place we call home, we will be able to encourage and inspire the youths in Singapore that they can make a difference and an important contribution to the kind of place they want Singapore to be.
Where?
National Library Building – a place for the people and one of the most talked about local buildings
When?
3 – 17 Jun 2006 (in conjunction with the theme of the month - The Art Festival)
How?
EXHIBITION 3 – 17 Jun Our exhibition seeks to bring out discussions on issues of place that matter to us. Some of these issues might be of the physical environment that we live, work and play in, others cover the psychological aspects like how we perceive and experience a place, what makes a place a home, etc. By exploring various artistic mediums, we will show 10 unique approaches to understand a place.
FORUM 10 Jun Local design professionals and guest speakers from overseas will talk about different places while sharing their works, mainly those dealing with local community. Not only would audience be exposed to the creative bridging of architecture to the community, real interactions between the public and the designers would also be initiated.
