sara bereilles has such a superb sound .. el superbo .. pretty day to choose to sing outdoors tho .. too much mentioning of the word ‘love’ that its almost inappropriate to stick it in this post
posted something like ‘running on batt mode today cos someone pulled the energy plug out’ on my status on facebook today .. not trying to be all vague and gay or anything but seriously thats what it feels like right now .. i feel so dead like one of the zombies in shaun of the dead .. well id say 28 days later but those zombies are crazy .. and rabid ..
i dunno – suddenly i just feel so damn sick of my shit job .. not that i wasnt before – its just that it has reached to a level that i just dont give a fuck AT ALL what happens .. i am soo freaking tired of fucking slaving away on an intense fast track shit projects .. its like one after another – and im just basically worn out .. after 4 projects – everything just switched off i guess .. i have totally lost interest in everything .. and i kinda feel guilty about it – cos i feel like its unfair to my boss – but what the hey rite – its that u pay peanuts u get monkeys thing u know .. yes im the monkey .. and i kinda feel bad for the ppl i work with – but i just cant freaking cope anymore .. its prolly like an anxiety attack – you just shut off ..
anyway – i want a new job now ..
bleh – mr mraz will cheer me up .. for now .. mr mraz and a good cookie .. yeaaaaaaaaah .. that would be nice .. or mr mraz ON a good cookie .. heh
hey ho! lets go!
Just going to post some stuff I found from all over ..
Sidetable or tiny bookshelf from amy hunting .. actually made from leftover wood and timber .. love it! ..
Swing bed .. how dreamy this is .. it’s a bit much to have a king sized swing bed .. but I love the concept and ive always loved those single swing beds that you always in those hindi movies .. id like one for meself thanks .. well its either this or a hammock
Ok while the shelf looks ridiculously sleek and luvly .. I have to say that it’s the WALL that caught my eye .. I love the square patterns on the concrete wall .. makes it more interesting .. and I just HAVE to add this in .. notice that theres no skirting used even though the wall is concrete and the floor is timber .. I mean YES!!! .. heh .. I know its not a big deal but to me it IS a very big deal .. cos I jut LOATHE skirtings .. I have no idea why .. I think that you can design a space in such a modern and uber design but once you stick those skirting on to the walls – that will take you right back to the 80s .. I know the 80s are back – but not in that way .. na ah .. and I don’t know why Malaysia is STILL in the damn skirting era .. ive seen designers come up with some of the coolest shit – and then theyd slap the skirting and everything just turns to crap .. yes I HATE it that much .. I KNOW it’s a way to finish things – but I think just finishing the wall and floor nicely would be fine .. like in this pic .. dunno maybe its just me .. cos ive seen house with 10 inches of skirting .. oh the horror!
this shelf could also be used as a bedhead board .. for platform beds as in pic .. or i assume for normal beds too .. makes your bed look spiffy and oh look! .. space for storage! .. awesummm .. heh .. (kidding .. i dont normally say awesome .. well at least not anymore .. 
)
Nanimarquina made this really cute carpet .. I wants it!
room design from hare + klein .. love the staircase .. the wall could actually be a cleverly hidden storage space
also from hare+klein.. yes this door will be mine when i have a house .. heh
from blountdesign .. check out the fruit rack! .. coolness
and i LOVE this room .. love the low square sofas and the concept of un-hanged paintings ..
something from strangeclosets .. i likey the wall mirror .. tis different
im sorry but is that a ship shaped chandelier?.. complete with sails?? .. heh .. interesting .. this must be from one of those filthy rich peoples 2 million dollar yacth interior .. anyway .. i LOVE the wardrobe doors .. im assuming of course that map-like painting are wardrobe doors .. if it isnt – wow that could be a great idea to camouflage wardrobe doors!
love the simple design on this house .. the red chair really stands out amongst the mainly white finishing .. love the cushions! .. nice uncluttered look for a study/workspace area in the second pic .. the huge grey board adds a little bit of color to the space and lastly – little photoframes make a nice bed headboard design (third pic)
of all the coatracks that ive seen .. this has to be the cutest and i really really want one .. FAST ..
stumbled upon this site yesterday .. princess lasertron .. and was looking at all her buittonaires craft and stuff when i saw her wedding picture .. which i LOVE so much .. heh .. dont worry – im not going to get all mushy and lovey dovey or whatever – its just that for the last few months i had to browse all kinds of wedding magazines that now im kinda liking it and missing it.. heh .. not to say that i want to get married soon – HELL no .. i just find it interesting and a nice change from all the typical bride and wedding mags that i read – THATS ALL .. anyway – before i get even more defensive, lets just list down the things that i like .. ill post the names of the bride and groom and links to their site or flickr or whatever .. anyway u should click on the links cos some of them really have an interesting and fun party .. BUT if ure the conventional wedding type bla bla bla then just shoo! nothing for you to see here ..
look how cute the card is ..
absolutely friggin LOVE the bouquet!
love the art gallery backdrop
this is my most fav pic .. the photography is ridiculously awesome .. i think the bride loves pink (judging from her wedding dress .. yes THATS her wedding dress .. so cute) so most photos has a tinge of pink in it .. like wood with pink grains – looks luvly .. photos are by becky novacek .. anyway the groom looks hot in a vest .. vests should be the new tux!
love the photography and the fact that hes wearing chucks .. NICE!
the cat is wearing a tux!
first – the venue
then theres the puppets
guests with their puppets
beautiful photography by gwyneth colleen
and last but not least .. the 29 year old male flower girl
i think this is the most funnest wedding ive ever seen ..
all weddings are from offbeat bride .. for a different twist to your normal everyday wedding
found this site – kevin mark low - a malaysian architect .. and i am loving almost all of the designs featured on his site .. interesting enough i saw a few of his project being shown in the newly published ’architects of malaysia’ book .. i was quite surprised by that – not becos i think he didnt deserved it but becos most of the time, when all these photographers and designers bla bla bla would definitely choose something more malaysian – as in using lots of wood and stuff .. and true enough i think most of the designs shown in the book have some timber elements in it .. only a few didnt .. really loved some of the designs and id probably write about them in the near future .. if i can find anything about them .. which reminds me – i WANT that book .. and also some books on small lofts – i dont know why but i just LOVE to see how people would design and manipulate small spaces .. and i love lofts cos i just basically HATE compartmentalization, walls, ridiculously LOW ceiling height so on and so forth .. i mean i wouldnt totally do WITHOUT walls – but id keep it to a minimum ..
so anyway back to kevin’s design … my favorites are:
steel entry mat
how cool is this .. well not to mention smart .. heh .. doesnt trap dirt and you could just wash it off if it gets dirty .. altho i wouldnt use it where people would walk underneath the ‘mat’ so maybe just put some sort of a drain at the bottom of something ..
stairs
cantilevered stairs
such a space saver and makes a space look more well .. spacious .. which is ultra important if you dont have money and all you could afford is a small house .. and i love how he uses post tension cables as the railings .. so it would be safe for children – i guess .. well unless if you have a lil brat who would stick their heads in the railings or in between the stairs .. one thing tho – im not really a big fan of cantilevered anything .. cos to me – no matter how safe and sound the design is .. i feel like its going to just give way one sweet day .. so i might want to rest my stairs on a sturdy piece of steel .. or two
mesh steel stairs
love the mesh steel stairs as it would allow more light and air to pass through .. somehow it looks more sturdy and sound .. altho i believe it is in some ways similar to the cantilevered concrete stairs – the piece of steel that is holding it to the wall is just too small for me .. but at least its safe for kids
double layered roof tops
it gives out that layered look that i LOVE so much .. it also looks clean and uncomplicated and most important – keeps the house cool .. i am still wondering where does the wiring go .. hmm .. thinking back tho .. after seeing lots of these so called rough, un-finished design – im kinda liking the wiring concept that we used to have in the olden days .. i can clearly remember staring at the ceiling in my kampung and looking at all the wires jutting out of each fan or light switches .. and i think its back in fashion now … heh .. or i might be wrong
sanitary fittings
when i first saw the first pic i just totally flipped cos ive never seen a toilet with such a high ceiling before and i was wishing that thered be more pics of the toilet .. but there werent .. so i was a lil disappointed .. but it opened my mind to a different concept of a toilet .. ive always LOVED an outdoor-ish feel to the toilet with a toilet with an open roof would being my ultimate choice for a toilet .. but of course theres the safety youd have to consider and also those wonderful peeping toms .. so i guess its pretty much out of the question .. so my second choice would be to use airbricks for walls .. OR i can do this – have massive ceiling height or my toilet too .. heh ..
anyway .. notice how he uses the normal taps or that simple and rustic look .. no important italian designer shit here .. which i think is just very very cool .. love it .. i never liked those shiny stainless steel things anyway ..
ok maybe in the first pic he used a designer-ish tap but in pic 2 its the normal ones .. and i LOVE the visible piping and everything .. LOVE em .. and im loving the concrete sinks altho im wondering how did he manage to have that with what looks like timber flooring ..
wouldnt mind having a tub made out of concrete at all .. normal practice would be to install a tub right at the corner and fixed to the wall .. but he did something different here and installed it as a loose piece .. like the sink above .. so it looks nicer .. and i cant really see from the pic but is he using those steel gratings on the floor? .. if he is – um ouch! but i think its brilliant ..
as i have mentioned earlier .. ultimate toilet for me would be with an open roof ..
air bricks
this is such an amazingly super brilliant idea .. AIR friggin BRICKS! .. i LOVE it .. not only does it give that retro seventies feel to it .. it makes a space super airy … and for someone who just loves – as in i would rather DIE than have no ventilation – this is a marvelous idea .. cos i want lots of air in my room and cross ventilation and all that shit .. but i dont really want too many windows as i want some privacy .. plus when i have windows i must have grilles for safety .. and in malaysia you cant have too many windows cos its just too hot .. so .. this is the answer that i have been looking for .. airbricks .. and lots of it .. woot! .. altho as u can see from the second pic he uses the airbricks as a second wall or filter for the glass walls .. but i guess using airbricks for your wall would be nice too .. and of course cheaper
louvred wall
another great idea to bring the outside air in constantly .. keeps the rain out and ud have your privacy .. so whats not to love about this ..
pool
ok having a pool might be a little too much .. plus maintenance bla bla bla could get a wee bit expensive .. but looking at this i was thinking that a lap pool would be nice with just bare concrete finish all around .. the uneven walls gave it character .. altho i might opt for a darker kind of finish ..
bookshelf
ah an open bookshelf .. any design that requires minimal cleaning up is always fine by me ..
plate rack
how cool is this suspended plate rack .. very cool i must say .. would definitely like one for meself
postbox
yes he designs mailboxes too .. and i kinda like this .. altho i would probably opt for those cute ones – still this is very nice
so those are the few things that i liked – hopefully i could incorporate that to my dream house .. heh
not really the olympics .. but I kinda like this cute mcd’s commercial
wow .. think its been 2 months or so
soo many things happened .. good and bad .. happy and sad
ive been completely busy with work that i havent got the time to blog bout any single thing …. there are a few things that id want to blog about – one of em is of course bout my aunt who passed away in august … and then more recently bout hari raya that i dont get to celebrate .. oh and also theres this thing called work that i dont think im cut out for anymore .. bleh .. i need to get a new phone – my phone is just totally fuct .. and OUTDATED .. heh not taht i care bout these things – but still its really damn irritating to get cut off in the middle of the convo .. and the pavillion has like the WORST reception ever … regardless of the fact that its like 10 secs away from menara maxis
useless
hehe .. what is that word … something to describe something that is opposite or the same .. bleh
do i want to import?
naaah…..
nyuk nyuk nyuk
