Toto gallery and Shibuya

The last Tuesday in Tokyo I managed to get to Toto gallery and subsequently their bookshop.
They were displaying some works by Christian Kerez.

Last day

It's been a week with no updates! Major slacking off on my part. But I was just so excited to get some rest. Anyway recap time.

Friday was my last day at CAt. It was like any other day and I was trying to figure out nice patterns to divide space but provide good lighting for the current project.

Kind of triangular skylights. The test model is so shoddy Hahaha... But it's easy to check what the diffused light looks like this way.

I got to eat lunch with lots of people, which was obviously fun. Somehow every time there are lots of people coming, everyone always goes to Park Cafe. It's a good place though.

I had a great time this one month. Even though the schedule was ridiculously difficult, I feel like I could do it if I try hard. I also feel sad to part with Andrea and Eric. they were really fun to hang out with. I hope I get to see them again someday.

Everyone was really nice and I'd love to work with them again.

I will try again next year.   – ͜  –

wasting paper :)

As usual, here are some pics I took on my way to work

I had succumbed to the delicacies of the 'Natural Lawson'. They even have a bakery section with absolutely delicious buns. In there I stumbled upon tortillas - something I've heard about, but never had the opportunity to try. They turned out to be pretty good. I also got dinner there as well - some fancy 4-compartment mini bento. But because both those things had raw onion in them I got a stomachache. Luckily I didn't have to suffer for too long in the office.

There doesn't seem to be any particular work at the moment for me, so I have the leisure of just doing loooooots of study models. Massive paper wastage. But you do learn new things in the process. As it is with anything handmade, it's all about the practice.

I was invited to join Andrea and Eric with their group of friends this Sunday. Yay! I don't mind walking round alone, but it's so much better when you have someone to chat with (and by that I mean me talking).

The sea will part

'When it's 29C at night, it's not fun.'

I have never had trouble navigating busy streets. But lately, when I can't be bothered to weave through people, I adopt a new approach. If you just walk forward briskly with your head held high, people just get out of the way. Just goes to show that if you walk with confidence, the sea will part :)

Also on the subject of walking, I wore my fancy trousers today. They are the best for hot weather as they are super wide - like 2 skirts, one for each leg. However, I may have lost weight or something, because I keep stumbling over the hem even when I wear high heals. So very dangerous, especially on the stairs. But what can you do - 'Fashion'.

I think I should hem them some more.

After working all day on gluing textures to a huge model, we went to a small drinking party. For a job well done, since this morning they submitted the competition entry. We went to a very busy bar, which, I was told, is the cheapest in the area. It was really fun and we even remembered to take some pictures.

A special thanks to Andrea for uploading them so quickly.

The snacks were delicious and the company excellent. Thank you everyone  ^__^
