Mobile retail





Looking at this mobile retail, I am looking into the disappearance of shopping complex and mall, despite the government's effort to revitalise Orchard Road. Building gigantic malls bearing iconic significance is currently a trend. ION Orchard has dominated the shopping district and soon shaping up the city skyline. ORCHARD CENTRAL is massive. Mass are emphasised in these two design scheme.

Having said that, i personally feel that this kind of image will soon be replaced by the notion of convenience. Mobile retail like the one above is not a new trend after all. We already have mobile library back in the 1960s, travelling around the island to provide knowledge for the young generations. With the rising rental prices and also the struggle for space. Retail therapy could only be at your doorstep anytime u want.

Moreover, online shopping is now part of the younger generation's lifestyle too. What beats the comfort of your home, choosing what you want to purchase and the items will be delivered in the matter of days. Yes, you might argue that the experience of shopping in malls is more realistic, cause you get to try out clothes and risk internet scam and deception. Online shopping could be a possible X factor in the future.

With all these, who needs shopping centre in the future? They will be just a hub for tourists to keep our shopping city alive.
Tay Kheng Soon's studio crit.



Kan Kan



Yuting can detect camera so well that once you start turing your camera towards her direction, she will automatically put up a smile and "twis" symbol up in the air within 1 second.
Faster than our singapore road surveillance camera



Wai Kit
The moments in pictorial form




Dear dear made IKEA swiss meatballs and although it does not look impressive, the taste is the same.



The folks from prague set up a mini showcase of what they have done over there. Pretty cool



Then in the beginning of the sememster, we have this Italian couples conducting the urban design workshop. Nonetheless, we "smoke" through the 3 weeks course and confident enough to say that 10 percent or lesser students thinks this course is useful.





Some exhibition booth set up in Plaza Singapura and took some shots down for further inspirations. Sometimes, we can design a lot with low costs, like these.

Then something strange happened.



GARFIELD trying to use my laptop. And camwhoring all the way.





The fun part is when we tried to create privacy using some panels that the previous year 4 left over and create a screen to shield off the eyes of the year 1. There we have soon yuan, yuting and jian guo working on to create a screen.

When it was totally unsuccessful cause we can still see yuting's head from afar! haha..

There you have, top moments captured on samsung jet phone!


Bride laughing non stop during exchange of vows.

My god.. that is not anxiety attack right??!!




Does not matter whether you have a wide range of family businesses, a 90 year old granny who has a 30 year old heart, the image of a lady kneeling down before you and propose to you is a golden moment.



I think Hong Lim Park is boring. But i know my studio will get exciting. Richard Ho really knows what he is doing.

Hope things will go my way now....


If you can't handle hangover, don't even bother thinking of doing it.
The show is full of laughter and of course, why that china chow guy ended up naked in the car boot?
The Hangover is somehow random and its entirely up to the viewers to decide the details. After all, Its common not to remember anything after a night out crazy with naked chicks, a tiger, and a china guy.



Its not actually funny but somehow it touches your heart. A old guy trying to fulfil his late wife's wish by flying his house all the way to South America. ( The place is like America, just that it's on south )
Packed adventure with a wilderness explorer named Russell, a talking dog and a colourful ostrich-like bird.
You won't find this show funny anymore because we have watched the trailer. Damn it!
I am working 24 hours a day. Literally.

No joke

Its true

But i have much more exciting projects on hand, so much fun compared to the ones i dealing at DBTA. Upcoming freelance projects are really something that i wanna cut out to "brand" myself. I always listen to advices like, " HAVE FUN IN DESIGN..." ... " Play around.."

No harm telling. I have 4 projects on hand.

- 1 smallest scale.
- another one is rarely small but still working things out.
- Upcoming salad bar near town area, and i hope to pitch this one.
- Lastly, something i looking forward, a cafe project, serving something out of convention

I got so many inspirations in many people like FARMWORKS. I truly admired their design and they are not easy dealing with people, pratical ones to be exact, and yet they still having so much joy in making it possible. I can vouch for it. It is really not easy dealing with your client, unless he is really rich.
BUILDING DEMOLITION FAIL



Thats stupid. You should not roll over. But thats funny too.
Is either the columns and foundation are too strong? Or you using the wrong type of dynomite...
For them, time to head back for refresher's course


I watched Harry Potter today. The irony is that i did not watch the past Harry Potter movies. I ended up clearing my doubts like, " who the hell is snap??"... how come this... how come that?

I got a new phone!... Thanks dear dear for the unexpected moments we had. I would not get the phone without you wanting to go city link today. Although you did not end up looking at shoes, and i feel bad about it.

Today, i bumped into my former sergeant from my army unit. And he say i look like Alfred Liao!!! WTF!!

For a moment, i was really offended but somehow he is right. I need to do something about it!...
