Woke up at 7am. Arrived at the office at 8.45am. the plan was to go for the site visit first thing in the morning, but there was a delay, which was good, as i ended up looking at the plan again to explore the levels. Which onsite, lead me to propose raising the floor, and relocating the handicap carpark lot so as to move away the ramp.The Madrasah, islamic school is really beautifully created, somehow behind the high wall, it felt almost like time was frozen in a bubble. The girls school had them all wearing the tudongs, a yellow base and white headscarf. At first, what had seem like a simple feasi started turned out to be quite a challenge, regularising the levels would make the entrance more welcoming to both the PWD and everyone. It was a luxury to have K come along too and take some 360 degree pictures which was really helpful as the pdf plans were quite a mis-matched of some of the columns. Lunch was at a briyani place of curry chicken, beef rendang, saya lodeh and chopbeans with sambal chilli. Everyone had some form of a tea as well to digest. n then it was back to the office. As i arranged the slides, the thoughts that we discussed came to place, as i then type them in. We went through one more round, and the plan is to send it out on tuesday. Did a bit of the BB exploration on whether the jogging track was possible, which was not ideal, and a little section. Then before i realise, the work day was over.Took a bus 16 and got off at lucky plaza, top up my ezlink card, and walked to the bus stop at far-east, so that was quite good, as when i checked my fitbit, it came up to 7500k steps. Almost the same as yesterday, where for some reason, i decided to attempt walking home in my black converse in the rain; of course with an umbrella. And after reaching orchard, only to find my feet too painful with blisters to have to stop. Where in tanglin mall, i actually found a pink outfit for CNY.

Kundigs winning entry of the 5th facade graphic novel has an air of pessimism or optimism i can't tell. perhaps it is the selection of the voice that nakes it so. The 5th refers to the roof, but the tendons that connected cities horizontally makes the city really messy somehow. Perhaps someone should do a graphic novel using the new horizontal elevators as a basis. Now, that is order for you. city scale.
