The real things are..

ITS BEEN awhile since I'm away from blogosphere. Yes, kinda busy with work. Working life makes you discipline enough anyway. And I'm happy with it. Even sometimes I did complain whenever I need to do OT and that work disturbs my beautiful weekend. Again, my family remind me to 'just do the work' and think that you will be paid more. (Another commitment had been added to the list recently, so I need to work harder!)


Whats up with me on this 2-3 weeks back? I'm struggling complete the design scheme of Lembaga Peperiksaan. Not just me, got another 3 person working together in order to make sure everything is ready and prepared for the KSU meeting. When we are working hard on it, the meeting keep postpone for about more than 3 times. What are you expecting from them? Don't they interested on our proposal? At the meantime, we continue updating and make some changes on the presentation wise just to make sure that everything looks perfect.


I can see the real life here. The process that are ongoing, the decision that we make, doesn't mean will be approved easily by the KSU. IF he was interested, he himself will recommend to the minister and the proposal will bring into cabinet. Thats the flow of government project.


My principal even said to me; "There's not interesting much about being architect because we are paid based on the scale of fees; even our payment is much lower than the developer, contractor, qs. In fact, we did a lot of work - from the very start (preliminary), schematic, up until design implementation; we going through ALL the process but our fees not that much than theirs."


I slowly agree with his statement. To learn and to see this real life is not that easy. Face it, then only I can gain my own experience. So explore. Keep exploring in this architecture field.


Talking about architecture design. The real scenario is not that the architects 'was' the architect, it is actually client was the architect. The architects are guided by the client because everything that relates to design will effect the costs; thats what the client concerns much. They want this, want that, just 'order' as they know that it can be built so easy. Here, where's the stand of the architects? They supposed to be the one to consult the client, and to say NO when they have to. And how many of architects got this attitude?


Back to life, there's no other way to get a project and to satisfied everyone. At the end of the day, the design stay the same. Not many are outstanding and can be proud of. Talking about any building's architecture, nothing much to say. Because it is common. It is almost nothing. Sad thing about some part of Malaysian architect's life.


We done with the KSU meeting. Now waiting for the results which we think it is sort of impossible to gain the project; since we have to compete with another 3 powerful groups that want the Enstek site so bad.


If we didn't get it, its okay. We are all fine with it. At least I know how to appreciate this 4 months of working on the schematic design; the experience to exploring and produce the best presentation for the meeting. We did it!


Another challenge of life is coming.. and I can't wait for tomorrow. Everyday is precious, everyday is just.. full of surprise.


May ALLAH bless.

Spice of Life

Sometimes I feel bored 'coz I'm doing the same thing same stuff each day.

The adventure of life is to learn.

When people keep commenting and criticize me, I wanna shout out loud, arghhh!

The purpose of life is to grow.

What I have now, it doesn't change much. I can't see how my future looks like.

The nature of life is to change.

When there's too many things to handle, I was nearly give up and I just stop there.

The challenge of life is to overcome.

I like to think about other people, is it wrong?

The essence of life is to care.

Sometimes I'm tired of caring others.

The opportunity of like is to serve.

Meeting new people and to approach them. I love to mingle around.

The secret of life is to befriend.

Can you please don't count every single of your kind?

The beauty of life is to give.
