My model assignment......Cubion

This assignment was actually given by my lecturer back to many weeks ago, but we couldn't do much with it since there are also other assignments due in between but this is the earliest assignment we get. We have to prepare a report and a model. The topic is to design a green building in different climate in different topography for different groups. My group get the urban area in tropical climate. For all the weeks before we started on the model, we worked on the report first while designing our building before starting to build.Last two weeks ago, we started to collect materials for the model.

We started to work on the model and it took us around 1 week plus to finish the model until the day before we present. The model making was time consuming and you really need good planning before start. We have faced some problems on the technique to make the model but somehow we still managed to solve it out and that's it, the model named "Cubion" was born. Credit go to our lecturers who was guiding us throughout the assignment. Thanks a lot! Hopefully we still have chance to do model for the coming semester, although it is kinda stress to do it but we enjoy the process of making it. Wish we can do better one next time.

100th All England

This year will be a little special for the All England Championship because it is celebrating 100th All England tournament. So, it will be memorable for those who are going to win titles this year. For sure, we will hope our superstar, Lee Chong Wei to win the man's singles title because it has been some time since we last won it through Hafiz in 2003. Lee Chong Wei is the top seed in this year event and is certainly a favorite to win it but with the return of super Lin Dan, it will make the tournament looks exciting. We all hope they will meet in the final barring any upset. I think if it is happen, it will be the closest fight ever between them because Lin Dan is good in every tournament especially prestigious one like All England and Chong Wei is in the top form after won the first two super series titles. Other than that, hope is also high on top double pair, Koo and Tan. We will hope they to repeat their performance in 2007 where they won the All England and went on to win more titles after that. Wish Malaysia players best of luck. Let the game begin.......love all, play!

Other than the new teams on the grip, in the drivers line-up, Formula 1 legend, Michael Schumacher will make his return to formula 1 after failed to replace Felipe Massa last year but this time, he is officially become the driver for newly formed Mercedes GP.

Happy Chinese New Year!!!!!

Here we are in the year of Tiger as we step in the new lunar year. I Would like to wish all my blog readers Happy Chinese New Year. Gong Xi Fatt Chai~新年快乐~虎虎生威~恭喜发财~have a prosperous year ahead. Most importantly stay healthy, watch your food intake especially during this festive period.

During the celebration of the Tiger year, I noticed that the weather in our country has become so hot that we no longer can really enjoy eating freely during CNY because we can easily get sick. 5 years ago or few years ago, we still can eat whatever we want during CNY and too bad, don't you all dare to do the same thing again. The climate change is the indicator of how bad our environment has badly polluted. What we can do now is stay healthy, avoid outdoor activity if possible during sunny day and help to save environment by using less plastic bags and plant more trees.

New Supertall in KL?

I am pretty sure this news was quite shocking when everyone read about the news of 100-storey skyscrapers planned for Kuala Lumpur. What is in the mind of the government actually? According to the news, this project is part of the efforts to boost the country's gross domestic product. If this is true, Petronas Twin Towers will no longer be the country highest structure. There are three sites in the city have been identified for the development of the iconic tower and two of them appeared to have 100-storey each. Another news claimed that the construction will take place in the first quarter this year. Petronas Twin Towers has been the landmark of Malaysia for quite some time and if they want to build new building that could ruin the image of PTT, the new buildings must have something special and maybe to make sure new Malaysia landmark can carry the name of the country, why don't we rival the current tallest, Burj Khalifa?
