and i chosed Sunway Bukit Gambier,Penang.
And i do like consecutive mistakes here.Let's just look at the pictures that i took when i did the site analysis.













when i do the site analysis,with my friend which is not hbp student,i realised that even though the site is nearest to usm,it is very big.LIke huge!we walk in the rain.and it's gated area.the guard let us in(which he shouldn't because we should get consent first).and to mention the guard looks drunk.we snap pictures.


my bestfriend,Adam.sains kemasyarakatan's student.


tomorrow,i go to the site again.with other 3 company,which are hbp students.i managed to gather with them after being individual yesterday.and we got cought by a guy.he is a commitee member in this housing area.he said we should NEVER walking and wandering around the gated area.we can be suspicious and accused if something missing in the area.it means we can go to the JAIL!Ouch!he helped us by getting consent from treasurer of sunway's gambier commitee member.so now,we need to back to work.drawing!!!


THE SITE PLAN.




 unfortunately,we just realised that the site plan is very very huge.it's hard to determine the scale of the plan drawing.so i change plan.i chosed another site,which is bayan residence.and doing everything all over again makes me feel ARGGGGHHH!!
this picture is a little bit exaggerating.hehe.



BAYAN RESIDENCE


site plan OF bayan residence

location map of bayan residence



and,after that.everytHing gets easier.Alhamdullilah.i do my work with other few friends that chose bayan residence.we go to the site.and these are the pictures.

after spending more than 2 days,days and night,i finally finish the project.LIke how cool is that?considering my hardship.i really proud of my work.


infinished site plane.scale 1:750










LESSON
1)CAREFULLY PLAN: I should plan which site should i choose before doing site analysis.i should have known that only few peoples chose Sunway Gambier as the site plan is very big and complicated to draw in proper scale.as i do the mistake by chosing the hardest site,i waste my time.

2)FOLLOW THE STANDARD PROCEDURE: I learned that we should follow the correct procedure to do site analysis in gated area.we shouldn't just enter the site without the consent of owner the area.

3)TEAMWORK: i finally acknowledge the power of teamwork.seriously,before i like to work alone.in my own room.from this project,i once went to site alone.and it feels really lonely.i faced the hardship alone.after i do the project together with friends,the work getting easier.more ideas.more correction.more relax moment.










QOUTES OF THE DAY:



GIVE UP ONCE.GIVE UP TWICE.BUT NEVER TURN BACK.KEEP WALKING.AND WALKING.KEEP HOPING.BECAUSE WE WON'T FIND THE LIGHT IF THERE IS NO DARK.




PROJECT 4:PRESENTATION DRAWING

SALAM.

Continue from the project 3b,we need to draw the plan and elevations (front, right, left and rear) drawings of the wooden ComforTABLE CHAIR together with:
i)axonometric drawing (1:20 scale)
ii)perspective drawing (with human figure shown)

Medium: 2A3 size cartridge papers on boards (standard template with landscape orientation)


This project is individual.As we need to sell our chair,surely we have to draw it nicely!With a correct use of colour,correct scale and dimension,correct angle(axonometric drawing).Do the drawing like a proffesional architect.And sell it to the proffesional clients(which is the lecturers).





and the result:sorryy,i forgot to take pictures.hehe.
How could i forgot to take my presentation drawing pictures!!!!!!!


i can only put my teammate work,Sarah's drawing.if you want to see clearly what is presentation drawing.credit to:Sarah Syahirah.


axonometric drawing 


elavation drawing



LESSON:
1)DO IT WILL ALL HEART: It simply means,do everything earnestly.I didn't really like the chair.So,i do the drawing with half-hearted.

2)BE MORE CAREFUL: Again!Careless mistakes.Now i forgot to take my own drawing presentation.Now,how can my work be evaluated in this blog?



QUOTES OF THE DAY:







PROJECT 3B:OBJECT CONNECTION,A COMFORTABLE CHAIR


SALAM.

We need to make a chair!!!!!OK,this is the briefing of the project.A L-chair,made in group of 3 with a themed of unity.I was in the same group with QS' coursemates;Jessica Teoh and Sarah.We pick our chair theme,which is NATURAL.It's simply means the real chair made up of timber log and the seat is shaped like curved leaves.our concept is that we want to bring the sense of natural environment to the chair's site.i forgot to mention that we compete the price to have our model chair been chosen to be build at the site near hbp building.So for the model chair,we chose straws-which is a HUGE MISTAKE.


our main material
Our Chair





LESSON:
1)CAREFULLY CHOSE THE MATERIAL: Other group chosed timber.Because we chose straw that we wrappe with brown paper,it doesn't look appealing.It doesn't look like a proper chair.A real chair.

2)BE MORE PRECISE IN WORK: It literally means,we should it look make it look more like a chair.it goes back to no 1.we should buy balsa.or use polystrene.



QOUTES OF THE DAY: Be more precise in whatever we do!









The dissappointed feeling that we feel for not doing it right!!!

PROJECT 3a:SCULPTURE




Salam.

This week,we have to do sculpture.This project really makes wanna say;EMMMMM.Like Seriously??



The format

The theme is harmony.So,my concept a dancing lady.It's like a ballerina.


The draft design



In this project,it had made everyone of us,go nuts!I chose polystrene.I spent more than 2 days just to cut the polystrene according to the measurement that i want.Not mention how much glue that i use,the wrong cutting.And the final product doesn't really follow the draft design.The head and upper part is missing,because not enough time(we went to pimpin siswa on the weekend).After we got back from pimpin siswa,i literally just want to finish the sculpture.I mean screw the design.


                 
THe one that i made.The colour is contrast with each other.The white and purple colour.






LESSON:



1)SAVING MONEY(BEING SUSTAINABLE):
  I spent rm 50.With a lot of material i bought being wasted.                                     
2)UNDERSTAND THE THEME: I dont understand what is harmony means.Is it mean contrast in colour????This little understanding lead a very confusing sculpture that doesn't look like the draft design.And this also lead confusing description.

3)WORKMANSHIP IS IMPORTANT : It is important to make my work more tidy and better handwritting.Just make sure everything looks nice to see.








I SHOULD FOCUS IN CLASS WHEN THE LECTURES TEACH ABOUT WHAT IS HARMONY!!!



PROJECT 2:NATURAL & MAN- MADE STRUCTURES

Salam.

In second week,we have been assigned with a new project.Another drawing.And it's more complicated than project 1.Project 2:Natural & Man-Made Structures.We need to find one natural structure;plants,water drops and whatever it is that is natural.In contrast,man-made structures is everything that human build.So,i pick bamboo plants and a bus stop.


Bamboo plants that i found at Saujana Cafe


The bus stop at Saujana-Restu Cafe


The drawing that i made










LESSON:

1)CORRECT FORMAT  :I had a WRONG format!!!How bad is  that?I should put the line at edge of the paper.With a coloumn at the bottom to write every personal information.But since i don't     do that,i just put my personal information;my names,matrix no,dates and such at empty space in the paper.SIGN..And                                                  tq  Prof Mastura to correct me.






2)TIME MANAGEMENT:Again!!Another last minute work.And                                               this result the wrong format.HEHE.






We should ALWAYS LEARNING.

QUOTE OF THE DAY: 
                                             
Who Could Ever DEFY And                                                            Compete  THE GOD'S complex CREATION? 

              Those human who COMPETE to build the TALLEST BUILDING,the MOST EXPENSIVE SCULPTURE,the MOST AESTHETIC STADIUM, to allow themselves claiming to be SUPERIOR for being able to create.Each of them comes to this world from a WOMB OF ANOTHER PERSON,their MOTHER.Their mother comes from ANOTHER MOTHER.And eventually EVERYTHING  COMES FROM THE GOD.Then,who is the MOST SUPERIOR now?
