"to be teri-fied" for the first time...

whenever i start reading blogs of others, i will have this crazy urge to make one myself!! it took me a total of 3 months to have finally setup this page.. but that's me.. i am not a very big fan of starting something from scratch.. nor in new platforms that is beyond what i am familiar with. i hope i can keep up with this and make this a place where i can share what i see in my eyes with people of similar interest. recently i do feel that i have been running away from learning new things, keeping myself updated, a sign of aging i bet.. therefore i am also hoping this blog can bring me back on track with what's up and what's on!!

the very first step in doing anything is always the most difficult, in terms of this blog, i wonder what i should put as my first post, i want it to be something meaningful, something that inspires me the most in whatever terms, something that reminds myself of who i am on this day when i read this again years later..

i am a very keen amateur photographer, this shot was one of my recent favorites, as it is a big combo of a few of my favorite items on this planet.. being the main guy in this photo, the butterfly stool by sori yanagi, one of my favourite furniture pieces since school days (to be exact since 1st year in cmu archi), loving the curvature of it, the simplicity of its symmetrical structures, the elegancy of how it touches the ground in its tip-toe manner, as well as my favorite walnut finish. this is more of an art piece to me than a functionable stool.

some more items at the back will be our caravaggio P2 by lightyears, i will save its introduction for another post to show my respect to this lamp. more to follow will be the wishbone chair by hans wegner (am sure i will come across this chair again later if this blog stays on..). and last but not least, my favorite brick wall. i looove brick walls, in any color, in any setting.. maybe it is due to my architectural background; though technically it is not, bricks are one of the most symbolic items when it comes to "building", the most stable house in the story of the 3 little pigs was then built in bricks!! though this one we are looking at is not a real brick wall (they call this culture-stone in hk) the result of it has already turned me upside down.. loving the rawness of it and its symbolism.

to conclude, this photo is definitely a good representative of myself in the past decade.

note to west: thanks again for letting me be part of this and making this happen, this is definitely the best project i ever had.
