6个月了，忙了六个多月，从准备研究科目与毕业论文，到实践与完成，总算全部告一段落，也因为这样，我也暂时性的搁置了这部落格以及Flickr的一些写生兴趣！毕竟还是大马产的学生，就算我再怎样不把成绩放在眼里，还是得考上 [与考好当然是不一样]，不然亲戚朋友就会白鸽眼了，就连路人甲也会瞧不起。也当然这一切是不被考证的，心理作祟罢了！
现在的我已经没那么多时间风花雪月了，毕竟人生还是要踏入社会工作，写写部落格又怎能糊口谋生找碗饭吃呢！面对现实找份工打打才是上策把！
人家常说毕业等于失业，当然，我有另外一个看法，是下半句，失业等于无产阶级生活的开始。有时候还真的羡慕那些欧美国家的孩子，毕业才是人生的开始。在他们的传统教育制度，修业路行 grand tour是完成学业后人生必修的一课，而这个习俗在他们的国家是属于普片流行的，对于我来说，又不是什么名门贵族达官贵人的孩子，这个愿望也许是奢侈的，再加上大马的经济与偏低马币的汇率，就算如今欧美国家经济不景气，美元英镑逐日下跌，对我来说也只不过是则国际新闻罢了。香港，台湾，南韩与日本的兑换率虽然比马币底，可是生活消费绝对比马来西亚高。就连去去邻国新加坡也得考虑考虑，也许只负担得起那种8天7也走马看花某某国xx 游的经济配套罢了！
上星期四面试了一份工，工作环境虽然不算差，工作时间是从8.30am 至5.00pm。对于一个设计事务所来说，这是没什么大不了的事，工作时间也当然普通，可是每天却要额外加班。这些我都可以豪给他，到晚上10 点都没问题。但是其公司的加班时间会到临晨2-3 点，我这个乘搭公共交通的上班族如何面对这问题呢，老板先生理所当然地假定我拥有一台车吗？这都不用紧，最恐怖是星期六也得开工，没有了‘谢谢上帝是星期五’(Thank God it's Friday)，就连美好的星期六也要赔给他！
不瞒老实说三年前我曾是这事务所的实习生，虽说星期六的工作时间只是半天，1.45pm 关电脑2.00pm 说拍拍屁股说拜拜，可是通常2.00pm 就要向老板汇报一切的工作，屎弗一不小心坐久点就会拖到下午4-5点。老板说这都有加班费，但是身心的疲累以及与世隔绝的工作量是种精神折磨勒。
我尝试与老板先生谈谈，可是得到相当官方答案，就是‘对于一个公司最重要是幸存’。他的答案简单实际，却有点铜臭。吉隆坡也好，槟城也好，有许多设计事务所的业务工作时间都实行五日制，这间公司真的需要如此拼吗？当然这时的老板先生也仿佛听到我心中的OS，他的回答是‘现在不努力，难倒将来才努力？’对于积极的他，这绝对是成功的秘诀！
我个人认为创作与设计不是每天关在那四面墙不透光的空调空间里拼老命地努力努力再努力制造出来的产物，这跟闭门造车没什么两样。建筑师这一行，与医生，律师，会计师，工程师虽然说都是专门的职业，但是态度是不一样的。创作需要灵感，灵感来自于生活。长期性的机械化工作量对顾客的‘专业’服务，也未免忽略了身边许多的美好事物？老板先生也未免把这行的工作态度给会计化，律师化了？菲利普。约翰逊 Philip Johnson 曾经一针见血地说道建筑师如同高级的妓女，要生意嘛，就得说 yes！为什么建筑师们会那样的作践自己的职业？其实建筑师该有的态度并没有对于错之分，也许是建筑师们的归类不一样罢了！
在这公司，我看到了明亮钱途，而且还是金币辉煌！只要麻木地跟随着奴隶般的生活，不断的生产，两年内应该可以考上建筑师的执照吧？
我绝对不是享乐派的，刚刚确定一下菲利普的名言，发现也有另一个名句，就是‘我不喜欢假期，如果你能够建造，那为何坐在沙滩上？’。假设老板先生抛出了这个问题，我想我的答案并不会否认我喜欢假期，但是周末与周日是用来充电及充实自己。
当然，我也很贱，就是到现在还没正式拒绝他，如果有一天我真的在这事务所上班，就别再问我这么多了！

建筑乐与路 Architectural Rock 'n' Roll
我喜欢一个人，一个人行走，一个人彳亍。对于许多人来说，这绝对是无聊可悲的，喜欢生活中热热闹闹的人，更加觉得这种行为是变态的。
我喜欢穿梭在大街小巷，漫步移动在空间中，看着熙来攘往的人群，又或者欣赏建筑空间艺术，体验四周围的环境。头脑放空了，让人来人往的脚步声，谈话声，风声，雨声，交通声，海浪声，树叶的摇摆声等，进入我的脑海里，形成一幅幅记忆的图画。累了，随便找个咖啡厅或餐馆坐下来，来杯咖啡，点些小吃，翻翻杂志，再回顾之前的路程与点点滴滴。这种感觉很奇妙，就好象吸毒一样，会上瘾的。有时候甚至像做爱那样，会达到高潮。为了能够再度拥有这种快感，我都会一而再，再而三地回到该地方，就像瘾君子般每次都忍不住毒瘾，不折手段地把白粉与毒品弄到手。
瘾君子喜欢尝试新毒品，我也一样，喜欢探索新空间与新环境，追溯她的每一则故事与神话。也许就是这个先天性癖好吧，我就开始了这个部落格，名为“建筑鉴赏家”，将我在建筑的乐与路，所看见的一草一叶，以及脑海所剩余的记忆片段，一砖一砖地记录下来。路易斯康曾经与砖块对话，砖告诉了康它自己就想成为拱，康也尊重了物材的本质，而我则希望仔细凝听建筑环境的细诉，把她们的喜怒哀乐带给大家。
我不是一位被训练有素的建筑评论家，也不是在这领域具有渊博学问的建筑历史学家，更没有卓越的语言能力（尤其是英语）, 但我坚信是大自然与大环境抚养我们，启发我们。每块砖每片叶都是人类亲密的朋友，我们始终应该与他们交谈，关心他们，爱护他们。
I like being alone, walking alone, walking slowly. For many people, this is absolutely pity bored. For those who enjoying in their busy life，will even think that such behavior is totally abnormal.
I like to shuttle in the streets, meandering in spaces, watching the bustling crowd, enjoying the art of space, and experiencing the surrounding environment. I usually empty my mind, and let the sound of walking footsteps, sound of people chatting, sound of the wind, sound of the rain, sound of the vehicles, sound of the sea waves and the sound of the swaying leaves to enter my mind, to let them form pieces of picture in memory. When I feel exhausted, I will simply find a coffee house or restaurant and sit down, order a cup of coffee or some snacks, take a glance at magazines, and recall back the dribs and drabs of the journey. This kind of feeling is fantastic, as if drug-taking, you will be addicted. Even sometimes akin to sexual intercourse, you will achieve orgasm. In order to be able to have the same pleasure once again, I will go back to that place again and again, just like the druggies cannot endure the torment of drug addiction, they will get the heroin by any means.
Druggies like to try new stuff, same with me. I like to explore new spaces and environment. Perhaps this is my congenital hobby, I, therefore start this blog, given name ‘Architectural Connoisseur’. I wish to record the every grass and leaf I see and the remained fragments of my memory. I want to construct my melodic architectural journey ‘brick by brick’. Louis I. Kahn had a conversation with brick before, "What do you want Brick?", and brick answered Kahn, "I like an Arch.". Kahn shows his respect to the intrinsic quality of the materials, and I hope I can listen well to the softly whispering of the built environment, bring all their emotions to everyone.
I am neither trained as an architectural critic nor an architectural historian that have a wide range of knowledge in this field, and I don’t have a distinction for my languages (especially in English), but I firmly believe that human are raised by nature, enlightened by surrounding environment. Bricks and leaves are our intimate friends. We should always chat with them, care for them and love them.
