Foreigners?

Lunch outdoors on the grass during our Tomelilla site vist...studios should be outdoors=]



phenomena: foreign student gathering together eating, chit-chatting and basically occupying our space, breathing our air and contributing to the sound pollution.

response A(locals): stares and grumblings amongst themselves.
response B(Foreign students): carrying on occupying space and making noise

realise some time ago while having dinners with the NUS Business peops, that we were doing exactly like what 'Ah Tiong' do in singapore, gathering amongst ourselves and partying in a foreign territory...hahaha!!! and we think that the local sweds might actually be feeling like how we feel when we see a bunch of 'Ah Tiong' doing that. But well, there was one thing different, we invited a complete swedish stranger who just happened to wonder into the kitchen to have a pitiful bread and jam dinners...compared to our MEATBALL Fiesta, think it not just that we over-estimated our belly-capacity, but also out of courtesy i guess=] bet he was pretty happy...haha!!

anyway, first week of sch, and we have a 3 week project to convert a SLUGHUS(ie. slaughter house(ie. where piggys become porkies)) into a community center. in my entire 2 yrs of archi, i had the longs site visit ever...2 full 8am to 5pm days. and it was not the best experience since its an ex-piggy-massacre site...those who watch SAW, imagine the toilet where the 2 victims were trapped in, after the guys sawed of his leg.....freaky right...
this little piggy when to to the market, this little piggy wen to town, and this little piggys...became BACON

where piggys rode the freezing carousel.
