Finally!...Have been missing for the past week, lol....mainly bacause of my internet connection, yeah blame it all on that, seriously....they took so long to get my line fixed.... and yeah...it seems like I am the only one who is always facing this problem, for don't know what reason..haiz..kk. enough of crap, btw, I have been busy at my dad's office too. There are so much work to do last week..by the time I get home everyday, feel really tired..so there haven't been much time for me to even go online....
DATUM : KL 2008 was a really great one I would say, I haven't attended the conference before during the previous years and this is the first time...and it turned out to be quite beneficial especially for people in the field of architecture where u gain more understanding of the buildings and cities that are mushrooming all over the world ....The speakers, mostly international and successful architects are good , whatmore their work, amazing....' salute'. my favourite speaker for the conference, BJARKE INGELS from DENMARK. He gave his speech in such an interesting and hilarious way that the crowd was actually applauding most of the time for the one hour he was speaking. but I regretted not being able to take a picture with him.he left right after the conference..btw, ..he is good looking too...there were ten speakers overall for the two day conference..

The first speaker, Dr Tan Loke Mun from ArchiCentre, Malaysia started of his speech with this slide, which is pretty interesting.
Most of the time, the buildings designed come from different ideas and concepts, and yeah here are some interesting ones inspired by very random stuffs like living things in nature.

went to the conference with Zi Yang, luckily I got him to accompany me.......if not this clumsy gal will loose her way again..haha, oh well not that bad actually.I do know the way to KL Convention Centre , it's just looking for parking and all, but it feels safer also when someone is with u especially when u need to drive...lol.I actually met quite a number of familiar faces at the conference , my friend Adam who went to U.K.....I was surprised when he called me from behind during tea break...but it's great to see him again, and Matt too...he was at the Archidex exhibition....
Zi Yang and I...(his work are amazing)
