2 Mar 2023 Thursday - lost and found

On the way, Freddie suggested dropping by the see Suzen whom I have not seen since she graduated with her Part 2 degree. That was almost 8 years ago. She had since got married and moved to Bau to set up 'shop' with her husband; Mr Liew. They run several businesses, one of which is a coffee shop/restaurant specialising in roast pork. I made an excuse to myself and ate the pork with the noodles. She treated us to lunch and we chatted for a while about the 'good old days' and her thesis which was fun. But in a sense, we have all moved on, she is content in her married life, she turns 40 this year and architecture will not feature greatly in her life anymore.
We promised to drop by each time we have site meetings in Bau. Let's see.
We spent an hour at the site - good news is that we will have another project on site this year, and more good news we have Kenneth as our builder, he is an excellent coordinator. There was no bad news. Our team is ready and quite looking forward to this; Fiona offered to attend the site meeting with me, Melvin thought it was a good idea in case some of the council people were there (to meet them).
1 Mar 2023 Wednesday - riverside house
Our last house was not fulfilling, and the one before that did not have a story to tell. Prior to that, we had Mike's house and Dona's house which I felt worthy of publication. It is a personal benchmark for myself - whether it is publishable in the local architects' magazine.
We have not got a new house project for a while now; so the phone call for a new house/guest house by the river was exciting.

No. 40 is coming along; the front room is now enclosed and the steel works are really fast, so fast that there are some areas which are not quite right. I will have to re-imagine the details and tell Liew. People have dropped by to have a look; the Sias went with Johnson which I thought was a bit strange and intrusive but Sam reminds me that Gerard L went to have a look at our house before its completion. I guess architects are just curious what other architects are doing at their own time and money.

| This little monkey is coming along as well, it looks like we will have another cat in the house, as Sia does not seem ready for it nor does Sam appear ready to let 'Burrito' go. |
My running has stopped as my ankle/hell still hurts quite a bit, but squash and tennis are manageable and I do quite well on court. I need to reduce court time, increase walking time and decrease body weight. Starting March
