Building Inspection

Today marks the second time I did the so-called building inspection trial as part of the program. I find it quite interesting to see building from a whole other perspectives. I used to focus more on the design aspects of a building. Though we were also taught that the design of any structures - for instance a building, should be based upon the intended function. Hence the form follows functions principal. But somehow it's pretty obvious that we still tend to focus more on the aesthetic aspects, as clients might as well prefer to have it that way. Even if I were to become a project leader, I'd definitely expect my building to look as uniquely pleasing as possible! It has always been aesthetics vs functionality, and I have always been on the aesthetics side. Surveying a building is new to me. Despite all those familiar construction terms, a building inspection felt very alien to me. Not to mention the variety of equipments it requires. Nevertheless, this subject I'm taking

Austen, 2017

Alhamdulillah. Blog gue balik! Seperti yang bisa dilihat post terakhir gue (sebelum repost kejer pake Tumblr posts) adalah post tahun 2013. Mantap. Tadinya gue udah hopeless gitu kan karena email yg gue pake buat log in ke blog adalah email Yahoo dengan domain @ymail - dimana domain tersebut entah kenapa udah ditiadakan sama Yahoo. Sebenernya gue pernah dapet pemberitahuan dari Blogspot tentang akuisisi Blogspot oleh Google, sehingga mau ngga mau ya lo migrate ke Gmail coy *biar apasi sha pake coy* *tipikal anak jamsek mempermasalahkan everything* *biar apasi sha pake everything* *sok inggris lo* tut judgmental  Jadi katanya si biar lebih terintegrasi. Blogspot juga bakalan consider blogger-blogger lama yang udah terlanjur make email dari domain lain. Para blogger masih diperbolehkan log in dengan email selain Gmail - walaupun at the end of the day, lo bakal diarahkan ke pembuatan Gmail juga. Well at least you had the chance to access your blog first. Abis itu terserah deh mau d

Life updates

<tumblr alert> Sep 28th, 2016  Yap, 3 posts at a time. Because who on earth cares :P Hi there Austen, how’s our castle? Sorry for being away for centuries. Since I’m such an adventurous Duchess I am currently in Qarath heading north to Winterfell seeking for love. Kidding. Found my love By the way gue ngekost sekarang. Life never been so flat since then. I’m a working young adult  who rarely socialize lol .   In at 9 - out by 5, somehow I feel like my 9-5 routine is killing my creativity (and building my CV too at the same time so, dang it). While it may be one of the most common rituals throughout society, it’s not necessarily the most productive one.  Especially, When you've been at work 9 hours and see dogs on Instagram with 2M followers who generate more income than you. I’m looking at you, Marutaro, Bichon tori, and Loki the Corgi. Sincerely, Shasha Hathaway.

Adulting

Its September 2016 and people still have not moved on from Path? Well I have. Why? cuz I feel like it. I feel like my social interaction capability is degrading. On the other hand, people think they are ‘socializing’ and ‘spending time with friends’ - while they’re texting and updating every single moments on social media. Idk. Guess I’m an old soul. Welcome to the age of smartphones, where actual conversation is becoming a thing of the past.

Home

<tumblr alert> Sep 30th, 2015 The song, the lyrics, the melodies, literally everything about  Photograph by Ed Sheeran  influenced me / persuades me to write this post. I just had to. As a young adult I often tell people that I can't tell which city belongs to \myself \ my soul\, until I moved to Kuala Lumpur where I actually felt like I was home. I’ve talked to a lot of friends about this over the years and I get the feeling that the idea of home is much more complicated than anything they’ve ever actually experienced. I mean, how can someone else's country felt so "home" to you? But then, for the past few years, neither of anything that happens in Kuala Lumpur and its surrounding sound like anything special to me. My family is. But thats it. As the city is user friendly, I can get an easy access to almost every corner of the city, people live in order, I, live in order. Even the environment of the city alone motivates me to live a perfectly healthy li

Random: Friendship

<tumblr alert> Apr 7th, 2015 Its 1:36AM, I couldn't sleep, so here goes some random thoughts, about friendship. I discovered some cheesy quotes about friendship on twitter. At first I was like, emm? Then I'm like OMAGAD/ these quotes are disturbingly true. Enjoy: “There is no U in friendship or relationship, meaning it is not solely about you all the time; can't stand self-centered people” — Chelsea O. “good friendship should be about loving one another for who the other person is, not about competition or frustration” — Logan F. “Friendship is all about tolerance.” — Denny S. I wish I'd discovered these quotes earlier. Well, it's always better late than never.

Malacca trip

<tumblr alert> Jan 31st, 2015 These pictures sum up our Malacca + Port Dickson road trip. 26/1/2015 Pics description clockwise: Port Dickson beach carpark, Christ Church Melaka, Malacca Riverside, sunset beach moment, bunch of selfies, local cuisine.  p/s: Local dishes: ikan tenggiri asam pedas, udang galah goreng, kangkung something lupa, and durian cendol (no pic). They’re tasty. Except the rice that tasted more like a leftover cold rice. The rests are yummy

Branding

<tumblr alert> Jan 22nd, 2015 Sometimes I just can't accept the fact that some people do judge other people by their parents' occupation. & some people are actually so proud being judged that way. Lol “Lo mah enak bokap lo ini, nyokap lo itu” “Dia yg anaknya itu, doi yg cucunya itu, dia yg keponakan kakak ipar om cucunya tetangga kelurahan sebelah yg kebakaran itu” Dehell is wrong with this kind of society Mari kita perjelas. Menurut gw apapun pekerjaan seseorang, di mata Allah mereka sama. Apapun pekerjaan emak bapak gw, gw hanyalah rakyat jelata yang kalo perlu duit masih ngemis dengan tampang gelandangan 0,5 sen. Bukan dikasih begitu saja tanpa diminta. Terkadang harus mengajukan proposal. Terkadang proposal ditolak. I enjoy living that way but I don't enjoy being unfairly judged. It just seems sooo wrong. I'd prefer to be known by what I have achieved, rather than as that doctor's daughter. P/s: Believe me, susah bgt minta duit sama bapak gw. S

Temporary neighbor

<tumblr alert> Jan 20th, 2015 Firstly the worst thing about my neighbor is that, I don't personally know each one of them. Not that I'm not insisted on knowing them better, but I simply couldn't. Most of them are temporary residents so I could barely notice one would stay for even a week. They come and go, like every day, every week, every month. What I sort of dislike about temporary neighbors is: their behavior. They don't appreciate the other neighbors' existence. By that I mean they don't do social interaction, they don't take account of cleanliness and sometimes they would behave as crazy as possible like there's no tomorrow. They are not responsible for their act because they're just some temporary residents. “Why should I care, someone will replace my spot in a day or two, and if I do something bad I could simply escape from everything” Please live somewhere else? Like what I've expected, two of my temporary neighbors were on a f

Plan B, C, D

Image
<tumblr alert> Jan 15th, 2015 That time of the year when you finally achieved something good, but your parents weren't so sure about your plan.  P00F- its gone.  Don’t get me wrong, I am sad, like sad sad. Dude I obviously AM SAD :/ But I know my family knows what’s best for me. So kids, thats why we need plan B, C, D, and so on. You can aim for Plan A. You can arrange for Plan A. But the key to your life is how you deal with Plan B. Good luck with the remaining alphabets tho. Just don’t ever give up I guess? ;) #mendadakmotivator #lessonlearned

Blank stare

<tumblr alert> Sep 9th, 2014 hi my dad and i were on our way back from a shopping mall when a man suddenly shouted my dad’s name n told him they were friends back in elementary school. i was legit surprised they would met so unexpectedly at this very moment (in front of an escalator), until all my dad gave was a thousand-yard stare for like 6 mins cus he had no idea… awkward. but then i thank god that my dad finally remembered and ended the awkward 6 mins! *cheers* he didn’t exactly stare for 6 mins tho but it feels like it, really. but no wonder.. it was the first time they met since 40 years. i went WOW 40 freakin years i wonder if i were him. how am i gonna react? i’ll probably give a blank stare for 270 hours. well lets hope i wont… speak soon! sasha
