I believe that all of us have a gift

And when we find that purpose,
we become heroic-

Eye é City-A Visual Account of the Last 24 Hrs of 2010

Registered as a non-profit society on 3 Nov 2006, Eye é City is the organizer of the annual flagship event, A Visual Account of the Last 24 Hours. Led by a team of dedicated volunteers, the society also organizes other fringe activities for the public including photography exhibitions, talks, and sharing sessions. 

The overarching vision of Eye é City is to raise awareness and concern for the society at large by becoming a communal platform to allow participants to share, interact and learn through activities like art, photography, journalism and heritage. 

In the years to come, Eye é City aims to be the driving force for a more compassionate and empathetic Singapore through retracing, recounting, reliving and reflecting upon our past and present. 

用肉眼看城市 用心眼关爱人文

有人说新加坡是一个没有回忆的城市。随着经济命脉的跳动，城市的景观也迅速变化， 记忆也随着时光流逝。“城市的眼睛“ 是希望通过摄影的媒介，反映城市的景观变迁，记录城市人文的发展，集合成大家共同的回忆。源于2002年，活动没有设定题目，也不设奖品或排名。参加者在12 月31 日零时开始，到当天的23时59分，在新加坡任何角落，拍摄他们认为值得记录的影象。 每年刊登及展出的100 张照片，除反映大家关注的社会事件，也有让大家共鸣的个人感情抒发，因而引起城中人对于城市人文的关爱。

Farnie Thoughts...

Loving someone is nvr easy. 

Doing it unconditionally really blows my mind.

To love and to be loved sounds remote.

And then i ask myself, am i ever lucky enough to experience true love

or am i only destined to know that it exist but will nvr own it. 

(like a Hermes HAC)

王菲 - 我願意

思念是一種很玄的東西　如影隨行

無聲又無息出沒在心底　轉眼　吞沒我在寂寞裡

我無力抗拒　特別是夜裡　想你到無法呼吸

恨不能立即　朝你狂奔去　大聲的告訴你

願意為你　我願意為你　我願意為你　忘記我姓名

就算多一秒　停留在你懷裡　失去世界也不可惜

願意為你　我願意為你　我願意為你　被放逐天際

只要你真心　拿愛與我回應

什麼都願意　什麼都願意　為你

我什麼都願意　什麼都願意　為你

Remember this song? 

Beautiful isn't it?

Architectural Competitions Anyone?

Dear Other Architects,

Please stop entering design competitions. It’s sheer folly. Here’s why:

1. It’s massively wasteful of your time and resources. Can you think of another comparable industry, or, more pertinently, profession, that spends so much time and money on bidding for work? Do doctors undertake a number of unpaid, speculative operations in order to convince people that they really need a hip replacement? No.

2. It gives away your main asset – your ideas – for free. After that, the rest is routine.

3. You are highly unlikely to win. This is just a fact. Some are better at them than others but no one wins them all and most lose often.

4. Even if you do win, it’s still unlikely that the building will be built. Most competitions are speculative, not in the sense that the client is looking for experimental architecture, but in the sense that there is little or no funding in place and they have not informed you of all the impediments still in the way of the project.

5. Therefore, there is often only one thing more disappointing than losing a competition and that’s winning one (in the long run).

6. They are a pretty terrible way of procuring a building. Imagine a system where you want something but you’re not sure exactly what it is. So you make a list of things you think you want and invite everyone in the world to send you their ideas for what it looks like. You have no other interaction with them, communicate – if at all – by email and, in the end, hope for the best and pick the one you fancy. This is the architectural competition process. It’s similar to internet dating, but less fun.

7. Competitions momentarily flatter you into thinking that you are designing, say,Oslo Opera House or a New Town outside Madrid but, in reality, you’re not. Until you get the commission it’s just pretend.

8. No one else in the world understands why you’re doing it. They just get used to you not coming out or refusing to take a holiday or forgetting to wash for five days. But they still think you’re mad.

9. You could do without the stress. All that time. All that effort. The all-nighters and the break-neck journey to the printers to get the boards made up! The intern dispatched to Inverness to hand them in because you’ve missed the courier’s deadline! The anxious wait for the results that sometimes never come! Honestly, you could do without it.

10. Remember: it’s not the failure that will kill you. It’s the hope.

So, if you’re thinking of entering a competition, don’t! Take your office down the pub instead. It will be more fun and cost a lot less. You might even meet someone down there who wants to give you a job. Remember: if you stop, I can too.

The Geometry of Pasta

Thomas tweeted this and i thought it would be nice to repost this.

A website for a book "The Geometry of Pasta"

i quote from the website:

"...pairs over 100 authentic recipes from critically acclaimed chef, Jacob Kenedy, with award-winning designer Caz Hildebrand’s stunning black-and-white designs to reveal the science, history and philosophy behind spectacular pasta dishes from all over Italy."

What i like is the way the pastas are presented and explained, effective and simple. 

Very attractive for a fast paced world when everyone has such a short attention span.
