Good day folks. I’ve been busy with studio,coming home with a horrible shoulder ache and head that feels as if its about to explode I kid you not. The usual whining that echoes through the walls of my hallway which usually goes like I feel so tired that I feel like dying, then a loud reply from my mum; “Choi!” which supposedly means “thats bad luck,nonsense!”

“Courage is the power to let go of the unfamiliar” -Raymond Lindquist

There’s this pretty weird thing about me that I can’t rely write when I’m unhappy/upset/frustrated; maybe its just a habit of me just not wanting to share it because it tends to amplify everything at that very moment. After a couple of days of cracking my nutshell, I realized that for the first time in my life I’m making my own decision, as the matter in fact; a very big one.

It almost feels as if you’re being taken out of your comfort zone,when you have the choice to be somewhere else. Then it struck me again; that life is filled with uncertainties, and thats the beauty of it. People like both you and me are confined with the idea of self-reassurance about where we will be ten years from now; but if a question is thrown at you, how will you know & what if things turn out otherwise?

Sunrise; yesterday morning,taken via mobile.

The truth is,we will never know for sure what lies ahead of us. All that we’re doing is building our lives for a better future, without any form of guarantee that it’ll turn out exactly the way you pictured it to be. If you ever wonder, my life was always unexpected. Architecture wasn’t a life long dream,I probably never knew what an architect was when they made me feel up my dream occupation in primary school.  I met the Keeper while working at Uncle Lim’s as a waitress in 2005,how unexpected wtf.

Great things happens when you least expect them to.

Elephant!

After a crazy long day yesterday,we had Steamboat Buffet for dinner! taken via mobile.

Remember this? Spot my presentation panel which is now at the gallery @ the Taylor’s Lakeside Campus. However,I wasn’t aware that my final model was left in the other Taylor’s campus; hence it got raped,literally!

Some idiotic juniors poked holes,teared off the walls and my roof is gone! Those brainless pricks,especially if they’re architectural students should know the value of a physical model; the amount of effort and time put into it. May you deserve the same treatment,when you least expect it!

Thats a very sad thing,oh well. Build nicer ones in the future.

Don’t do something that you don’t want others to do to you. Its a very simple value to carry on with life, its purely unethical especially when you’re in the same field. Maybe its just the low level in maturity which drives young fucktards like them to vandalize. It hurts,okay.

Honestly,how not to be angry?

It turns out that sleeping earlier makes you even more sleepy when you get up in the morning.

Obviously this isn’t it. Will update more under this title box in a short while!

Good day folks.The first week of classes has finally ended,was too caught up with reading on Friday & out the entire Saturday hence the delay. Studio assignments have kicked in,reading up the notes on Asian Architecture sent me to dreamland a couple of times; but I guess the most important thing about living is to find yourself loving what you do. For some reason I’m feeling a lot different this year,because it almost feels as if i’m living in my own crime of passion.

Picture taken via mobile; of my Friday evening reading with Brownthepom keeping a watchful eye on passerby’s wtf more like his hot girlfriend by the name Chelsea who lives down the row.

Wednesday; had bak kut teh for dinner. Picture quality’s not bad for a mobile phone.

Don’t really camwhore that much anymore,the Keeper claimed that going finger-trigger happy is such a waste of time. Then I replied,well I get paid for doing what I love!

Saturday’s are usually the rewarding day of the week for myself when classes resumes because switching on the workaholic gear can be really scary at times; its like having a machine that runs all the time. I would say that I was feeling more under pressured last year because I had my priorities lying all over the place; and this year things just seem very much more reassured & solidified.

So back to what I was about to say about Saturdays. Well I have this weird way to driving myself up the wall,thriving to finish all the work; or rather allocating my Saturdays free to just do anything and eat everything wtf I’m just kidding. My point is, no matter how tough life can be; you have to find your own source of getaway or you can’t really claim that you’re really living.

So we had this conversation over lunch earlier today; about our plans together for the next couple of years. I know how conversations like this don’t usually pop up over lunch wtf who the hell would wanna risk ruining the rest of the day if the conversation ends badly right! Well, lucky for us; we actually enjoy talking about every part of it. There’s always this fine line between sharing the same dream & vision and having expectations about whats to come.

The Keeper mentioned about wanting to purchase our own home/house probably two years from now; which lead to a discussion about where we would prefer living in. I was obviously amused with the fact that he’s sounded so serious & keen about his future with me; but when the conversation lead on to the design of the house, I laughed so hard that I nearly fell off the chair wtf.

I’m easily amused.

So here’s our silly crazy ideas about what our home would be like:

1. He wanted a balcony to smoke (NO WAY ALVIN LAM) and I wanted a walk-in closet with a ratio of me having 3/4 of the available space wtf. He doesn’t need to wear that much clothes. Damn imbalanced,I know.
2. Since I’m gonna be the designer/contractor/painter/cleaner so I had to just get a list of design criteria which satisfies him. So awesome audio/visual room, a poker room(out of the question!), huge toilets to fit two users at one go wtf and the kitchen of course.
3. He insisted that he’ll design the best kitchen(commercial kitchen designer) because he knows that I’m gonna be doing lots of cooking. Mind you,I can cook okay.

I’m still amazed by how well I remember what we talked about. Probably its because these little talks mean the world to me; to gage where we are and where we will be. We’d be stupid to talk about this if you’ve not passed your third year relationship wtf. Anyway,we continued talking about how and what dinner would be like; he promised to eat everything even if I were to poison him with his knowledge!

1. I said we’d have the electric mini-teppanyaki. Easily prepare fresh seafood like prawns,squids,slices of lamb & beef or even sausages; using minimal oil and wrap up the meal with some soup. No need for cooking,easy preparation,very little washing, and can cook together on the spot!
2. Then probably buy the electric mini-steamboat pot to have either clear/tomyum soup, throwing in vegetables,seafood,or anything else to be served with rice. Can always opt for noodles! Once again,very little cooking, easy preparation & minimal washing!
3. Pasta day,don’t need to mention how easy this would be.
4. Baking the Salmon fish head, chicken wings, ikan pari with thai spicy sauce & much more. All you need is the oven.
5. Two days of Chinese home-cooked food in a week, and two night outs!

Architects can cook,without a doubt.

As much as the future is unpredictable, your common goals and dreams will always be within reach. Our fifth & sixth year of this relationship shall be driven by those silly dreams; the thought of the Keeper knowing so sure about what he wants is probably one of the many reasons why I’m often so inspired.

People don’t change,people grow; and its the growth that we witness together which transcends that image of a partial-visible future.

I’d like to reach out to you loyal readers,your presence here has kept a good deal of money flowing into my bank’s savings account. I don’t need the money honestly,but whatever I earn here is moved into out joint-accounts (yes,since 2006!) to buy our home. Equal amount pumped in of course! Blogging has helped me in so many ways, I’m really thankful not having to be out and about as much as before because I realize that the consistency here is based on the life that revolves around my tiny life.

Those were the pictures from dinner, I love casual Saturday night dinners.
Next post on the Keeper’s room make-over.
I’m open for suggestions/recommendations on what to cook for dinner!
Food lovers,inspire me!

Greetings folks. I know this may come off pretty random but as I was on this lingerie shopping spree earlier today; i tweeted that “The architecture of a bra is outstanding” having response from Chor Min that it should come off more easily wtf and some agreeing that its true with so much detail & thought put into it. People often underestimate the amount of time spent in order to create the perfect bra for women.

Bras equals to mens best friend or worse enemy :

We all have breasts,even men wtf I still can’t get the thought of men having men boobs. The bra does not only covers, supports and elevates the breasts, but also shapes the wearer’s figure. The degree of which the bra frames the breasts varies between style, functionality, fashion and fabric. So here’s a shocking fact,apparently there’s a total 31 common types of bras! The source information below is grabbed from here.

1 Adhesive Bra

A bra which adheres to the breasts. It has no straps or bands of any sort and provide little support to the breasts. This type of bra is intended for backless and strapless fashions. There are two types. There is the disposable paper ones that use a strong adhesive and the reusable ones that use silicone that can be washed and reused.

2 Bandeau Bra

A simple band of cloth worn across the breasts, providing little support or shaping.

3 Belly Dance Bra

It is commonly assumed that a belly dancing bra size is the same as normal bra size. This is not necessarily so. For instance if you normally use a size 32C you may well find that a 34B will fit quite comfortably with a few minor adjustments to latch settings since most belly dancing bras are designed to cover very well.

4 Bridal Bra/Corset

A bridal bra/corset mold and shape the upper body into a desired shape to fit the wedding dress. In addition to that, it promotes good posture and can be more comfortable as the weight of the breasts is carried by the whole corset rather than the brassiere’s shoulder straps.

5 Built-in Bra

Supportive brassiere-like structures on the inside of another garment, such as a swimsuit or tank top, which provide support for the bust without the need for a separate bra. In most such garments, these built-ins consist of a horizontal elastic strip, although some do have cups and underwires as with other bra types. In some cases these may easily be removed, if desired.

6 Convertible Bra

It has straps which may be detached and rearranged in different ways depending on the outfit. Alternatives to regular straps for strapless bras are beaded bra straps or clear plastic bra straps that provide support and style.

7 Cupless Bra

Consists of a brassiere frame with no support cups. They expose the nipples with notched or contoured support cups. Usually worn as erotic lingerie, a cupless bra can cause the shape of the nipples to be prominently visible on an outer garment.

8 Demi Bra

A half-cup bra style with wide-set straps and a horizontal bust line. Often seamed or boned, they give great cleavage and a frame-like effect. These offer less support, but enable low cut garments to be worn without the bra being seen. Demi bras may be designed to provide lift as do push-up bras.

9 Front Closure Bra

Bras that have closures, usually hooks and eyes, on the front rather than at the back. These bras lie completely flat at the back under clothing. Some feature a racerback style back which is great for wear with tank tops and for lending a no-slip effect to the straps.

10 Full Support Bra

A type of bra designed to offer good support for the whole of the breasts and, as such, are a typical, practical bra for everyday wear.

11 Hand Bra

A modeling technique where a topless woman conceals her nipples by covering both breasts with her hands or fingers.

12 Mastectomy Bra

Designed so that a prosthesis may be held in place and are intended for individuals who have lost one or both breasts in mastectomy treatment for breast cancer.

13 Male Bra

Bras worn by men with Gynecomastia, usually to flatten and conceal rather than lift and support.

14 Maternity Bra

Designed such that they can be expanded to adjust as the breasts increase in size over the course of a pregnancy.

15 Minimizer Bra

Designed to play down the bust, in particular for women with cups of 34C and above. Minimizers, by compressing and shaping the breasts, help to create the illusion of being a cup size or two smaller, and are often more comfortable.

16 Novelty Bra

Designed more for show and sensuality than for function. They may include unusual materials, such as leather, coconuts or be unusual in design.

17 Nursing Bra

Designed to help make breastfeeding simpler by allowing the baby easy access to the nipple. Traditionally, the cups of nursing bras are covered with flaps of fabric that can be unclasped at the top and pulled down to expose the breast.

18 Padded Bra

Bras with padding inside the lining. They are designed to provide a fuller shape for small breasts and are an alternative to bra stuffing, a practice among teenage girls in which ‘falsies’ like tissues, sugar packets, cotton balls, or socks are placed inside a bra to simulate larger breasts. Unlike push-up bras, however, most padded bras support the breasts but do not significantly lift them.

19 Peephole Bras

The type of bra that has cups loosely covering the breasts, which also includes holes around the nipples.

20 Push-up Bra

Structured so that the breasts are lifted and placed closer together to enhance the cleavage. The best known brand of push-up bra is the Wonderbra. Many push-up bras contain padding, typically made of foam or rubber, but some contain gel-filled pads. The main distinction between padded bras and push-up bras that incorporate padding is whether the padding is centred under each breast to simply lift them, or is centred outside the centre of each breast such that the padding pushes the breasts inwards.

21 Racerback Bra

Has shoulder straps that come over the shouder in a V pattern very close to the neck. This design is sometimes worn under strapless dresses or tops where traditional straps would be very obviously exposed. Many Sport bras use the racerback.

22 Shelf Bra

Essentially a rigid band, usually underwires, along the inframammary line that pushes up while covering none, or only a narrow strip, of the breast.

23 Softcup Bra

Has no underwire support in the cups. Rather they rely on the strength of the underband to provide support to the bust.

24 Sport Bra

Provides firm support for the breasts, and are meant to prevent discomfort or embarrassment during vigorous exercise.

25 Strapless Bra

With no shoulder straps, they are designed for wearing with clothes that reveal the shoulders, such as halterneck tops.

26 T-shirt Bra

Designed without raised seams, so that a tight t-shirt may be worn without the bra being visible. These often have padded cups to conceal nipples and to provide a smooth line under t-shirts.

27 Trainer Bra

Designed for young girls who have begun to develop breasts but have yet to be considered ‘developed’ enough to allow for a standard-sized bra to fit properly. They are of simple construction and offer very little support.

28 U-plunge Bra

Allows you to wear clothes that have a deep plunging neckline.

29 Underwire Bra

Designed to give extra support and endurance. They have a wire, metal or plastic, running under each cup to provide rigid support to the bust.

30 Vintage Bra

A type of full support bra with cups in the shape of a paraboloid of revolution with its axis perpendicular to the breast. Invented in the late 1940s, they were still being sold well into the 1960s.

31 Water Bra

Bras which have water or silicon gel-filled cups to make your breasts look larger.

Thats it for the 31 common type of bras taken from this source. I’m pretty sure that this would be highly informative for both men & women. Now you know how some A cups can look like C cups wtf there’s always push up & water bras! However,does anyone know where I can find a U-plunge bra? We should never neglect the most interesting part of a woman’s body,and accessorize them well!

I left my phone at home today,went to class without it. Surprisingly,I can live without my phone without feeling all sour & upset. Currently busy with studio work,and the first week of class is going on pretty well so far! Anyway,hope you’re more informed about bras now.

Which is your favourite bra?
