HAPPY HALLOWEEN Part 2

The most embarrasing I've ever done in my life....

Eric Clapton

Such a beautiful yet sad song...

HAPPY HALLOWEEN

Mr. PUMPKIN 的真面目?

這是第一次刻南瓜, 感覺很新鮮:) 完成後便將它擺在窗邊, 面向外頭, 搭配上燭焰的效果, 十分有過節的氣氛 XD

She will be loved

I've been hearing this song wherever I went in Taiwan...
Maroon 5... He is amazing... His live performance is sooo good :)

Wish me LUCK!!

I love these Beijing Olympics Friendlies so much!! I just found out that each of them has different meanings, and when you say their names at the same time, it will become as Chinese version of "Beijing welcomes you" which is so amazing! I love the yellow one the most. Her name is Ying Ying :) Hope they are bringing me luck!!!

2008 Beijing Olympics

Finally here comes the 2008 Beijing Olympics. Everytime I see the report or the news of Beijing Olympics park, I feel so pround that I am a Chinese and I grew up with a strong Chinese background. I feel so pround of Chinese culture. When I first heard this commercial song "Beijing Welcomes You", I almost cried. I was so touched. Hope that the era of Chinese will come soon! :)

Here is the song "Beijing Welcomes YOU"



However, I can believe that there is no A-Mei in the vedio... :(

Lazy

Hi guys,
I know I'm not updating my blog for a long time. Hope I can find some time to upload the pictures I took during the trip this summer. Be patient :)

愛，轉動

就在我閒閒打發時間之際，在youtube發現了一樣好東西 :D

經典!!!

黃靖倫

Hello. 和剛成立這個Blog時相比，發現最近有點偷懶 :D

最近又迷上了看超級星光大道，真的真的好喜歡黃靖倫的聲音。發現自己其實常常喜歡上高音的男聲，想想是從喜歡上Lee Ryan開始吧 :) I miss his voice so much...



這首歌老實說第一次聽的時候並沒有讓我印象深刻，但反覆聽了幾次後卻會上癮，腦海中會無時無刻不浮現這首歌的旋律，真的很不可思議。梁文音的聲音也依舊這麼美 :)





和偶像合唱果然不同凡響，情緒比較有起伏，有比較激動 :D

The Final Week

經過三天在Computer Lab裡的連續轟炸後，ED 11A portfolio 總算是完成了。雖然印表機出了點差錯...anyway...又到入學期的尾聲了，finals也續勢旦旦地等著我們迎接挑戰。然而最難熬的日子我覺得就在final來之前的幾天吧...雖然學校已停課了, 可是卻還無心讀書...腦中也會不斷想起這學期的種種回憶...總是讓我很想哭....真的很捨不得我的GSI, 同學和教授... :'(

Lucky Me

今天下課後Jessica, Gina 和我緊抓著 Dave 不放請教他對我們各自the Beat movement memorial model 的看法與意見，Dave 果然是個好人，誠懇又認真地分別對我們三個人的memorial作 critiq，還給了我們課外的 information 作為 referance, 真的很感動。 就連輪到最後的我時，也耐心的給我意見和批評指教，過程中一直拿著我的 sketch model 作360度旋轉，最後還把它解體，可說是用盡了各種方法和我一起 brain storming, 獲益匪淺啊!!

今天也總算真正見識到了 Dave 的功力與創意，和我們分享了很多 break through 的 idea, 也聽他訴說了他 undergrad 時的作品和表現手法，聽他說他是從 Arizona State 畢業的，聽他說那裡的 Archi Undergrad 相當不錯，有機會真想去見識見識 :)

現在想想覺得自己真的很幸運，連續兩個學期都能遇到這麼好的 GSI, 而且 Luke 和 Dave 兩人的 Style 也很相近，都會認真聽我們的 design idea, 並適當的給予疑問和意見，從不強勢的加自己的觀點於別人的作品上，總是用啟發性的引導，真的很棒! They are really amazing :) 而且現在和Dave 也比較熟悉了，有時用眼神便能傳達訊息，真是有默契啊 :D

一個人生活

星光奇男子 XD

真的好喜歡他的聲音 :)

戀上另一個人

想不到游鴻明老師和Albert的合聲會這麼好聽>///< 甚至有勝過原唱的感覺... 太棒了....真的很超感動... :)

Name

昨天晚上在Studio發現了我的名字有一個很大的特點....confused...請看下文揭曉...

A: Hey, do you know where is Yu? (you)
B: Me?!
A: No, Shih... (she)
B: Who??

真是太會取了...ㄇㄚˇㄇㄚˇ... XD

Ranch 99

在連續幾天的Hard work和 3D project 的 Final Critic後, 昨天跟Gina和Jessica一起撘公車去了Ranch 99. 在那裡的書店看到好多台灣味的東西, 其中還包括了小時候常用的東西, 勾起了許多回憶 :) 另外還看到了許多好久不見的漫畫, 真的很感動...真希望能租來看...後來還喝了一杯天仁的珍珠奶綠, 覺得還是中國的茶好喝啊!! 最後還到Ranch 99的超市買零食庫存, Gina真的不是蓋的...居然幾乎把所有種類的面時點心都買了... 買的太開心之餘結果錯過了一班公車... 導致晚上的SAVE meeting遲到了將近半個小時.... 真的很對不起大家 > < 在那次的SAVE meeting 上認識了Malcolm和Randy的 graduate students, 其中很湊巧的Brenden也在裡面! 而且還坐在Gina旁邊 XD 真是太巧了!!! 在meeting的尾聲Randy還熱情的介紹Malcolm給我們認識, 真的很不好意思 >///< 期望我們未來能對SAVE越來越有貢獻!!!

Shiawase 幸福

王力宏 愛你等於愛自己



王力宏 愛的就是你

自從開始放Spring Recess以來，每天都過的很幸福 :) 旅行‧幸福； 吃飯‧幸福； 逛街‧幸福； 拍照‧幸福； 睡覺‧幸福。我想是因為身心放鬆再加上媽媽在身邊的關係吧！發現每當感覺到幸福時腦子裡都會浮現這兩首歌，可能是因為Leehom在詮釋這兩首歌時詮釋的相當成功吧！單單聽這兩首歌我都會有幸福的感覺 :) 希望大家都和我現在一樣幸福!!! Cho Shiawase desu :D

木瓜牛奶

自從發現Mocachino有賣木瓜牛奶以後，最近每次去那裡都只點木瓜牛奶。 回想上個semester還在抱怨美國的木瓜太貴，都沒有店家在賣木瓜牛奶，心想寒假回台灣一定要去喝，沒想到颱風過境，台灣的木瓜也都漲價了，也沒人賣了.... 當時真的晴天霹靂....現在有木瓜牛奶喝真好，可以解渴又解嘴饞 :) I Love Papaya :)

Requiem by Johannes Brahms

This week's assignment of CW R1A is to present a powerpoint of the first movement of Johannes Brahms's Requiem. I went to the music library to search the background information and the score of the requiem. The first movement is about blessing. However, in stark contrast to the overwhelming sorrow of Mozart’s unfinished requiem, Brahms offers his listeners peace and hope. Following is the first movement "Blessed are they that mourn" of the requiem which is about conveying blessing upon the mourners. Personally, I really like the atmosphere that Brahms creates in the first movement. Peace and Hope.

It somehow does reflect my mood this week as well.... with a little taste of sorrow...

Pressure

這兩個禮拜的壓力真的很大...大的讓我一直逃避...都是Spring Recess害的...讓我的工作量增為原來的兩倍...Oh GOd....上個週末是有史以來第一次完全沒碰Archi的作業, 一直泡在Library裡面...可想而知有多忙了...這學期的課只能用"想捨卻捨不得"來形容啊...連改成Pass or not Pass 都不行 :S All I can do is crossing my fingers... haha...

發現每次壓力大的時候都會想聽這首歌... The beat really excites me :D 讓我不禁想起Summer Session 時趕Final Paper 的情景... 真懷念啊...

改變自己

現在是零晨1點鐘，Essay和model的壓力讓我頭痛的無法入眠....心想應該利用緊接著的Spring Break好好改變自己... I need to be more productive...man...



so random...haha

What I've Done

"What I've Done" by Linkin Park.

THe professor showed it to us on the first day of ISF class... which did overwhelm me very much... make me think of Randy's "Ecological Democracy". yup...

Ken Hirai

This is one of my favorite song :) Ken Hirai is one of few Japanese singers I like. His voice is pretty amazing. THe song, "Kiss of life" is the theme song of a Japanese drama called "Love Revolution."

這首 "Pop star" 是平井堅少見的快歌...每次聽都會跟著旋律搖擺，是首很可愛的歌 :)

下面的這個version是Ken Hirai這首歌的原版pv, cho kawai >///<, 可以看出他的搞笑潛力和演戲天份 LoL

.....with Brazilina subtitles..?!

Thumbnails for my coat, dest, n' chair....

I know it sounds pathetic... but this is my entire life for week7 at school

Short break to the 4th street

A lovely relaxing small street :)

I'm sleepy now..

Hi everyone,

NOw is 12:50 am in Monday morning and I'm WORN OUT!!! fInally finished my paper...So glad that I'm approaching my spring break... but my 3D model is still standing there on my desk staring at me... (i really do not wanna touch it...)

I WANNA GO HOME!!
I MISS MY BEDDDDDD.

Now I think of Hiroshi and Gina's conversation:

Hiroshi, "Hey, do u wanna go to late night?"
Gina, "Uhm....Why asking me...I haven't gone to late night for a long time..."
Hiroshi, "Oh yeah...you always work and come home later than late night..."

THAT IS EXACTLY HOW MY LIFE BEEN GOING....

H.O.M.E.!!!!

Kokoro by Oda Kazumasa

這是一首扣人心弦的歌，第一次看到這個pv時感動地偷偷地留下了幾滴淚 (因為當時在圖書館....) 是日劇"初吻"的主題曲，同時也小田和正睽違years的作品 :)
Anyway... Why am i still on my blog....? Oooooooops...

My New Blog

Bonjour :)

THis is the first blog in my life. It is composed in a nice sunny afternoon. I have a paper due in 7 and half hours and a 3D model due tomorrow...and I'm still here, sitting in front of my lap top, customizing my blog. Anyway, it's a open space to share my feelings and expressions from my daily life in the US. College is a turning point of my life, a start of persuing my dream of Architecture. Hope I can find the original intension of studying Architecture and be proud of myself when I look back to read my blog in the future. Travel diary and fun pictures will be posted here as well :) Dozo Yoroshiku Onegaishimasu!!!

今天是個晴朗無雲的天氣，是個用來開設人生第一個Blog再適合也不過的天氣了! (好像一點根據也沒有...) 目前有一篇報告和一個Model等著我在明天之前完成...but who cares... 現在的心情只映著B.L.O.G.四個字!!! 總之,這是個抒發日常生活感想的地方，也可以當成在美國生活的紀錄。大學是個人生的轉捩點，是個朝自己夢想邁進的起程點，希望長大後回來看這個地方時能找到當時讀Archi的初衷，能再度體會對建築最真實的感動。 這裡也將紀錄著開始接觸Archi後外出旅行的筆記及照片，希望大家會喜歡。 請各位多多指教囉 :)

P.S. 無法決定這個Blog的書寫語言...所以決定中英日法交錯使用,完全跟著當時的心情決定, 較能確切表達想法的語言和讀者的身分也是重要的因素之一 :D
