My Story

My name is Siow Chen Liang, call me Daniel. Architecture Student in Sem 5. I'm a diploma student from ALFA College. After that i plan to further study at Tasmania but too expensive and my result was terrifying... so i apply for Taylor...but Taylor officer wasn't so friendly....so i choose UCSI because Taylor and UCSI is same level....for me lah....



When i was in primary school. i want to become a scientist. But when my UPSR result come out and i get C for my science....i know i have to choose other ambition or else...

Sooner i had a new ambition - become a top sales. Because during secondary school i had a lot of friends, all like to chit chat. So i think my Eloquence should be very nice. But when i go for looking part time job when i was 16 i found out i'm very lousy even with a simple conversation with stranger. It really broke down my ego.

Before i graduate from secondary school, i never heard about Architact this word. Until when i was form 5, i went to a gallery with my school teacher at KLCC, saw a lot of design ( i think it was Datum or Archidex those kind of event which i don't know on that time ) . Until then only i start to read building design magazine ( before that only know Galaxie, Gossip or Sin Chiew Daily...)



After that in a very coincidence opportunity i get to know about sustainable, eco friendly, then i found out why all the architect design the building must full of concrete, our house why they want to seal up the little piece of land in our car porch area just to park another car.... When that time, i feel that i should do something to our earth. I plan to join the community of Environment protection, but i don't think that's what i can did with my age, so i tell my mum that i want to study Landscape Design.



My second brother was taking engineering on that time, he told me that Architecture is the main role if we need to design building. So if you want to make decision to make more space to green, you better be the boss.... So, i just took his advise....now im stepping to this non U turn road...



Best and worst experiences in study architecture. I just join UCSI around 1 year and 1 month i think. Basically still fine ... only when i know my history mid term exam failed cause me few days non stop nightmare..... When i was in ALFA, i failed my Design 3 . And it really left a scar in my heart. This is the black shadow in my life, now everytime presentation and exam, i will feel pressure and feeling im going to failed.... But thanks for the lesson, i think now i learn a lot and i have the opportunity to co-operate our Design 4 studio with AR Jimmy Lim after i join the next studio. AR Jimmy Lim teach us a lot and we learn site planning on that time.



Best experiences will be joining event. I never join architecture workshop, i feel very unfortunately. But i had joined Sepuluh and Sebelas, i think now already tujuh belas or lapan belas, Oh...i feel so old..... Sepuluh was organised by ALFA, so everyone of us was helping and it was so fun.
can see ALFA sign board and UCSI signboard?
Last time was Alif ( now change to ALFA)

Best Habit - errr.....i love to make things become beautiful. I like to make my presentation board full of color, especially green and red. Like to make everyting beautiful, more color, nice color. Although i know my design not so good, but hopefully lecturer will give some marks due to my presentation board. I think i should go for fashion design but i know i don't have that talent. But study architecture also the same, fashion designer cloth up the human, but i dress up the building. How cool....

Worst Habit - a lot..... lazy, don't like to study. And not really good in doing research. Now still learning. English not so good, only understand 60% - 80% when lecturer talking. I like to read Architecture Books but very lazy and hard to understand the words, so most of the books i only remember the photo.


I have a group of friends which all study design. Everywhere we go we like to give some piece of our idea no matter good or not. Sometime will a bit mean but with them i learn a lot of thing. Now all of them already work for at least 1 year but i'm still studying...... sob sob...


Finally, my 1st blog going to end. What keeps me going? I think that without Degree, i can't go for the next step. And i feel i need to learn more thing. After few years study architecture i still don't like architecture, but now i'm starting feeling interesting in architecture, and i love this feeling. So why not i take few more years, or maybe more longer time to enjoy this feeling ? Life should be enjoyable.
