A journey of my theory of architecture. MY blog. Mei Yin's blog.


A: My Story


Finally, satisfied with my blog's skin. Been doing this for quite a long time. Just to make it nicer :)

Childhood moments that lead to architecture:
I can still remember, during my primary school days, i used to stared at those small little models of developers in the shopping mall whenever i saw them. They attracted my attention easily as if i spotted a handsome guy. I would just stop and start looking at the models and wondering; how they made this? what materials are they using? And of course, i told myself; one day, i am going to make them on my own.

Reasons of choosing this field:
My interest of staring at small little models eventually leaded me to take the subjects of 'Lukisan Kejuruteraan' and 'Teknologi Kejuruteraan' during my Form 4 and Form 5. By taking these 2 subjects, i made the very first model in my life in the national competition. Although i did not get to win but at least i know i tried my best and i am satisfied. This simple thought of making models on my own leads me to Architecture where i can design exactly what i want and make it in reality.

The best and worst experiences studying architecture:
hahahaha. I love the friends. I love the group work. I enjoy the moment of doing work together as a team where we can have fun and lots of talk. But with one condition; only if you got nice and willing-to-work friends in your team. Or else, i am sure you hate group work. The best part of architecture is; we get to go for study trip which basically we do not care much about the work given but to enjoy the best during the trip :D and the worst part is; WE only went once for study trip during the foundation year. WE have not been to study trip since then. What a sad story :(

The best and worst habits throughout my studies:
To be honest, the best habit that i have after analyzing myself, is I THINK, i am pretty fast in doing work. hahahaha. At least, fast in drafting :D
The worst habit would be the procrastination that rooted in me.
Because of my worst habit, i think i am losing my best habit :(
Have been telling myself not to procrastinate but, sigh~ things wont always happen according to plan.

My inspiration of keeping me going on:
Besides my father and family that supporting me all this while, i am moved by my mother. She is the one who told me not to give up. She is the one whom i desperately want to show my result to. Although she is not with me anymore, but i know she is still watching me, doing every single thing in my life.
My dream; of building not only houses, but home. House is not a home if there's no love. I have always wanted to build houses where people create their home in it. A home with love, a home that unite everyone in their life.
