studio LDA - lesser and lesser trust on the experts

I am very tired. There have been so many project rushes before Chinese New Year holidays. I feel my sense of responsibility is being exploited.( Maybe it's me who torture myself, maybe..) .

But that's not the worst. I have just found out somebody uses my webpage name on Alexa search engine, but put his web address in it. So when you search studio LDA, there is this web address that has got nothing to do with studio LDA appaering on the search result. I think it explained the sudden drop of visit to my site last month.

I am dissapointed...I am tired. I am begining to trust the professionals, the experts, lesser and lesser.

Not quite a good start to approach Chinese New Year. Anyway, Happy Chinese New Year to you all.

studio LDA - 蟲 結 (insect work)

蟲 結
蟲 是 我 心 中 的 “ 恨”。昨日刚打扫干净的窗沿、走廊、橱架等地，今日又见其踪迹或尸首。最为可恶是正当打理草圃时，“煞惊无神”的扑到自己的身上，被吓得跌坐下来。
某年在清理置书柜时，发现了一本购于伦敦的首版英译线装版的《金瓶梅》，拿起时，丝细粉从书缝中洒落下来，翻开一看，书内每一页已彻底被啃噬，穿透书皮，甚至橱柜隔板上。其啃噬的经过路线就成了一个不规交错的线图深深刻在书上和柜板上。见此状，头皮发麻，心中再怎麽咬牙切齿与呐喊，也只能叹无奈。
事隔多年后，虫并没在我生活中彻底扫除，然而它让我学着要这么去与之共处，同时学着欣赏它们。不知什么时候开始，还将它们的自然生态记录在我的手机里。
这年清理橱柜时，仔细重看柜隔板上被啃噬所形成的图案，打从心里惊讶，这真不愧是一件艺术的杰作体现.

A few words from Cezanne’s letter to his mum

To share with all those who chase for the rainbow.

studio LDA - After all, life is so short.

After all, life is so short.
I have been so busy with office works.
Yesterday, a junior colleague came and told me “You made me think that I should quit architecture .After all, life is so short.”

He probably meant a joke.

But my god! What have I done to myself! What have I done to him!

studio LDA - Need a little coaxing

Need a little coaxing

Need a little coaxing. It’s always the case.

My little young girl though knows subconsciously what is better for her, takes a bit of coaxing and discipline from me and my wife to get on with things in life. It’s easy to hook on to bad habits and bad taste as they don’t require much from a person other then submission and indulgence.

We as parents should do our parts instead of giving just the sweets to quiet the kids (We often give the sweets so that we can do our own things, aren’t we?)

And so must the government.

studio LDA - Priority on life, then design, then art.

Priority on life, then design, then art.

Priority of my life is always life itself, then design and then art. That's my sequence. Maybe because I am a designer and I believe that we have to think first before we feel for life. I must admit I am the”I think therefore I am” type. You might argue otherwise, maybe you are the “I think therefore I am not “ type. Why not?

But surely you agree life itself is priority.

studio LDA - Can you not go to war? I don’t want to be without daddy and mummy.

See more original images from ppoopp.host.sk/war/index.htm

Can you not go to war? I don’t want to be without daddy and mummy.

I was listening to light music last evening, my four years old daughter asked what music was that when the recorder played “kid without home”. I was in the mood and make up a simple story about a kid having lost her parents in a war. She kept asking why through out the story telling session, then remained unusually quiet over the evening. Till time for bed, she asked “Can you not go to war? I don’t want to be without daddy and mummy.”
I was caught a little surprised and very touched. Such is the simple and pure heart of a kid.

studio LDA - looking through life -she reminded me of Chilida

She reminded me of Chilida.

I observed my little baby girl playing with my fingers. She was trying to learn about her own fingers while she was learning mine!

She reminded me of Chilida.
