Assignment 1 : Creating Postcard
I'm seriously satisfied with the product I did in this assignment, though I didnt get the full mark but I still love it, probably frame it afterward.
Alright back to the topic, we were required to draw 4 postcard about a place, and so I have chosen Malacca. Why I choose Malacca? It's not my hometown or even my dad's hometown, but still there's a special relationship between me and Malacca. Perhaps I'm those rare guy love to study history, arts, architectures, humans that make me love Malacca because Malacca fullfilled all this elements. Malacca is somehow the origin of Malaysia and yet there is so much of historical building and memories.
So, in my postcards, I drew 4 buildings which fall into totally different categories which is, Cheng Hoon Teng Temple, No. Hareen Street, Malacca Sultanate Palace and Kampung Kling Kampung.
And you know what? All the buildings I drew are designed by local people, built by local people and built for local people, but not foreigner.
Here's the picture of my postcards.

Janda Baik Trip
This is the unique part of studying FNBE, it's a really got activities to happen because it's give all of us memories, no matter fun, sad, anger and else ( just kidding, there's probably only fun memories being there.).
There's a purpose for us to go Janda Baik other then having fun which is, we are actually require to determine the space in nature (ENBE) and to identify role of architect other than the roles that already stated during lecture (ICI).
We went a lot of interesting sights, such as Daun Chalet, Jungle trekking, Siamese architecture, D'ark Resort, and the most merorable place are the famous writer Pak habib's house. Pak habib's house are well designed (in my opinion). There's a lot of section in the house and each of the section are designed by different flavour, such as, the garden are ornamented by arabic vase and arabic words which enhanced the looking of the garden.
One more, there's a space in between 2 building which attracted me the most which I still could remember how I feel when I'm inside the space. It don't really counted as an enclosed space but probably semi enclosed space. There's 3 side of wall and each of the wall have different height and different colour, even the texture is different. One of the shortest wall are made of some sort of marble (I guess) and it has a blue tone of colour and there's a door on the wall. This place gave me the imagination of "once I open the door, there will be a entirely different world, probably the magic world". Well, I love the place sincerely.
Here's the photo of the space I mentioned,
