I am still in the midst of figuring out one of the most respected and appreciated designer. Halprin, a landscape architect...*sip a cup of tea i made myself.....
Last Monday, I was assigned to come up with a design that expresses my understanding on Halprin himself and his notable works.
Previously, my discovery and research on Halprin with my group members brought me to discover that Halprin has a deep understanding on how nature intertwines with mankind, and how nature plays the most important role for all of us. In fact, for my first design assessment for this 2nd semester (designing a hat based on your understanding of your philosopher), I placed a circle in between a partition (where the left side indicates mankind and the right indicates nature, mainly water~for some reasons). In my opinion, the circle indicates the unity between mankind and nature. During my presentation, I was quetioned a lot on it...well some lessons learnt there - That circle fits in anywhere. It has the feeling or one may say, the 'belonging' impression. *point noted. aye aye captain! and plus, I kinda bullshit a little here and there of why some stuffs were placed on my design. ~it was kinda rough..should have done a lot better~
Therefore, I thought that I obviously can't express the same thoughts again and again for my next design. This time it will be a painting on a canvas. I am still exploring Halprin. He is an absolutely interesting man with amazing and brilliant concepts applied in his work. And he definitely has a fantastic wife that enhances his work - Anna Schuman. =)
They actually came up with the RSVP cycle *beaming my head off...now thats something I finally understood!!!
R-Resources : in which anything that one thought of and decides for their work. i.e: time, cost,physical material!
S - Score *seriously! I felt so relieved to finally know what this actually stands for. =D - it is more like a guideline in carrying out the prosess/work =D
V- Valuaction : a dynamic response to the work based on values.
P- Performance : ta-da ..setting the work in motion!
So now, I may try practicing the RSVP cycle and see the outcomes of it. =D
Alright, getting back to browsing more about Halprin.... *looking out for Mr.Google..oh, here he is!

~ Happy New Year 2011 ~ May this year be a better year not just for me but to all out there. Amen.
Yesterday, 01.01.2011, finally, my 1st sem, almost 8 weeks holiday, ends and i flew back to JB(Johor) at 4.50pm for the 2nd semester, that will be commencing on Monday. I reached at around 5.50pm. Obviously, home was all that was on my mind. *sigh*
But it wasn't so bad yesterday, compared to the flight taken before my final examination - due to stress and depression, I actually cried all my way from the departure hall, unto the plane, on the plane, upon landing and ta-da I had to forcefully calm myself down as people were trying to get a look at my eyes. The easiest way was to ask me, if i needed any help with my luggage...*it was sweet!* but he looked me straight into my eyes and asked me again, 'are you sure?'..'yeap, yeap..thanx..im fine actually' and forced myself to a weak smile.. Oh, and he was most probably from China, long hair, tied neatly, muscular, fit, probably a kung-fu master :D *dush dush dusha*
After accompanying a friend of mine, who fetched me from the airport, for his combined lunch and dinner meal, I finally reached my room. It wasn't in the ambience that I prefer. Knew it the minute I unlocked the door. If cold breeze blew upon me at that particular moment, it means, my room is in good shape! Unfortunately, there was no such air. It was warm and dusty. *sad* So i got myself to work. Unpack my things and rearrange my section in a much more organized manner and lovely to see at all time. Dust my bed and perfected it with all the necessary comfort i preferred. and finally, I rushed myself to sweep and mop the floor like I always do. It was 10.15pm. I was done by 10.33pm. Took a minute to absorbed the lovely air I brought unto the room and finally hit the shower - my friend was on the way to fetch me for my dinner!
10.50pm-freshly ready! and got down to the car in which my friend was waiting patiently. As we wait for another friend to join us, we talked bout life. Basically, he was talking about his life, and how his love life is. ~laalaalaa~.
Finally, we were all in the car and was on the way for dinner. I had 'nasi goreng serai'????!!!!!! as they couldn't fry 'nasi goreng tomyam' without chillies. That was my first time of such dinner. There was 'serai' in practically every single spoon I picked. I got tired of eatinng. fortunately, it was not bad at taste :)
After the fine dinner, we dropped by at Danga Bay. I was captivated by the lightings. It was lovely for the eyes. It was like as though the night was still young, and everyone was so alive. There were soft instrumental musics playing. It brought me peace and for a moment, I felt like I was in paradise. Glancing at the midnight sky, i caught a glimpsed of the stars!
We walked a little and finally decided that we should head back to uni. So that was the night. When I got back, i just laze around with my lappy...and..and..and...then it was time for bed......zzz!
