a STUDio...

I've sold my trusty old car off. Times are bad and I reckon we can do with sharing 1 car till I find a job.

It was really quite a machine. It brought us to Vegas when we first arrived, survived a crazy but fairly embarressing ride over a road divider, and has never really had any major issues whatsoever despite being a '96 Camry. I wish you well and greater years ahead in the hands of your new, and sometimes rather clueless, owner.

It's been a few months since Yunong a
nd I moved into the new studio..

Right smack in the heart of Koreatown, It's a definite downsize from where we've came from.. but it's also alot more convenient now that the supermarket, the pharmacy and bakery's all in a Korean shopping mall a few mins walk away.

A Peranakan Odyssey (re)Imagined

I have always envisioned a roof over my Peranakan Cultural Centre that I based in Joo Chiat...

and now that I have some time on my hands, I've gotten into it... one of my first few attempts at using Rhino. In this particular case, I'll be using data gathered from Ecotect, coupled with some formal inspirations, and my new sculptural roof will be scripted and ready hopefully soon!

A new symbolic Joo Chiat icon in the making!
