after measured

at long last measured was finish.great! but of course we had problems acquiring infos bout the cute lil' wooden railway station..as it stands, it was a "little" railway station, so presumebly, yes; who cares to keep any record bout it? but then as it turns out nobody knew what happen to the micrphone that d late tunku abd rahman used at the merdeka stadium, (hey.that mic gets d privilege of being used to announce "Merdeka!" 7 times), and have anyone know anything bout the true document scroll of independence?

we cover sentul's, batu village's, batu caves and port kelang, but what happen to the other stations? yes, the double track is a marvellous idea (well, i don't put much thought into it) but before we tore down the 'old' stations, how much record do we keep bout them? if there is any anyway.

Truth is we SUCKS at keeping records and keeping tabs..thank god we have measured drawing.kudos to KALAM (KAJIAN ALAM BINA MELAYU). people seem to forget that architecture is not women's towel..you don't juz throw them out when u're finished with it (SORRY gurlsZ)..yes; they're old, they can't be used, but you can alwiz STUDY from it; their history, arts, EMOTIONS (buildings, not women's towel, mind you) before you tore it down for immortal christened "development"..the same which applies to our studies in design.That's why we have portfolios.yes.our drawing sucks so bad when we're in first year but it was a testimonial of how we develop all this time. Leonardo da Vinci didn't paint Mona Lisa when he's 6 years old for god sake; so what's the shame of keeping our sketches, drawings etc?

and all hail Yong Tong Lee..a great developer, where yes Sentul East and the KLpac was marvellous indeed.but when u hear stories from a fat old man how he misses the good old time, u can't help wondering..are we moving too fast? development is a must, important, no denying it; but have we treated it the best way, balancing and uphelding emotions and MORALITY the whole way?

to you then, MR & MRS ARCHITECTS
