1.4.2025 Tuesday - dependable people

From RIBA Journal - Herron and Associates

Imagination Building

I get dropped off after a coffee at home, I work on the safari masterplan, happy to get it moving along. No run this morning, my ankles are still sore. 

Melvin says that he will come in today, to complete the school SOA and diagrammatic layouts. We see the client tomorrow. As I walk to the office, I think about how fortunate I am to have dependable people in the office. Folks that you can leave stuff with and know it will be completed. No need to worry, no need for super clever people who might let you down.

Nice lunch with Don and Da, at Rume where we met Chin Nam and Jenk Kee

 
Core exercises, no run, no sports.

31.3.2025 Monday - Selamat Hari Raya

 Just before lunch Yin Lian drops by with her parent and brother, I chat with her parents about studying architecture; how long the course is, how they wanted her to be a teacher but she wants to study architecture. I suggest to them that it is unlikely that she would follow their advice. - I noticed something interesting; that she sat next to me facing to her parents across the table.

Good tennis, hitting the ball on the rise, flatter and more consistently.

30.3.2024 Sunday - a free day

a dance by Trisha Brown and a photograph by Babette Mangolte

Reading through old magazines to see if I can learn new things, I can't bear to throw them away. This image caught my eye, it was from a dance/installation in New York from 1970/1 - an age ago.

My tennis this morning was not very enjoyable, I might not go and hit with Richard anymore especially if the teenage son is hitting as well.
 

29.3.2025 Saturday - good day at work

 

28.3.2025 Friday - questions and answers

 

27.3.2025 Thursday - A long chat about work, then a short one about working with us

 

26.3.2025 Wednesday - another nice lunch

Slightly stressful day, because there is no definitely deadline - so I ease my mind by sitting in the kopi shop and sketching out 'things to do'. I feel better after doing this and go upstairs to finish the Safari masterplan, just in time for Teck to ask about it. So, we sent it along. 

MWAA meet to talk about the possibility of hiring the new guy; who seems polite and determined in equal measures. We talked about reducing shares and hiring him to improve our BIM capability.

I meet with the Binapuri  people at 130pm, this time I get a better vibe from them. I really hope this one moves along - we need new clients. I have a long lunch and return to the office after a good work-out.
