through the looking glass

May 1, 2008

hihiz the past few days been really hectic rushing from place to place after work and before work the atm is running out of $$ and so is the ezlink card transportation is sucking up all my money suckerzxz !! the next few days i’ll be running all over the country too so even less $$ on food and more money on Bus and what’s worse is that you miss the LastBus for 2mins when you’re on another bus and you meet the last bus at the junction and then you spend 5 mins calling your fast asleep dad and then end up having to flag for a cab (which costs $6.60 when my house is only a few mins away!) and meeting your last bus right outside your house damn techneo (sorry for the lack of punctuations will look into that in later posts, upset now)

the people i’ve been seeing this week ):

Ma Maison was great other than the part where we each had about a bit less than 300grams of cake each

 Anyway, I saw these last week on thefashionspot and thought they were amazing these are made of paper

 

 paper loghouses in kobe, 1995
housing for displaced people of kobe after earthquake. each house’s foundation was made of sand – filled beer cases the units occupied 16 mq each and had an ‘acceptable’ appearance. the beer cases were rented from the manufacturer and were also used to form steps during the construction process. even in these circumstances of great need, ban’s ever-present sense of humor was evident in his description of his choice of ‘kirin’ beer crates over those of a rival company, because their yellow color harmonized better with the brown of the paper tubes

paper church (made from carboard tubing)as a result of the earthquake, the takatori church in kobe burned down. the paper church has been constructed in only 5 weeks by 160 church volunteers.

Amazing huh i need to learn how to make a house out of paper in case i’ll need it one day ..
