BIG (Bamboo Interest Group)

2day, 4th October 2010, Studio RUS101 had a big discussion about BIG. xD
Though many ppl did not attend this event but i managed to get my big lazy butt up and appeared anyway..haha.. Kinda interested about what the discussion will come to in the end..

1b began with some introduction about BIG.. the role of bamboo and their advantages.. the reason why they chose bamboo:
  • stronger choice to built and environmental friendly future
  • incredible strength (3 times stronger than steel)
  • most sustainable resource
  • helped in poverty
  • survived the atomic bomb
  • reverses the effect of global warming
And this is asked of us; work on bamboo so as to produce something that shall meet all the above six points, hence making the leap to 2012. What can we do?

one of the effort has been clearly shown by us, the RUS 101 studio students which have been working on one of the biggest and toughest project ever.. !!
With our great effort and sheading of sweat we worked together as each of us were to prepare 2 or 1 struts each for the assembly of the Ibu.
I hope this is just a test coz if this Ibu were to be used on the real day during 2012, then i wouldn't even dare to go in it. I'd rather get killed by nature then get killed by my own creation. That's embarassing isn't it?? @@

Anyway, look at the other side of the story. I realized that when we were building this "Massive Monster" I have seen and heard many acts and ideas. Most of them, sadly to say, NEGATIVE.. sad huh... what do they say? they said "It's just impossible... The thing is just too huge... I wouldn't go in it if it was even successfully assembled up.. 1b must be crazy!! Gila-lah project ni... Aiya, simply do only laa, who cares, they won't check wan laa.. Lazy already laa..."

Truth be told, just imagine if each and every one of the student had this kind of mind and thinking during the process of this project, then whatever is build out will just be a failure.. none is willing to give and sacrifice their hardwork and effort to make this BIG project a success. Then, what are we? Are we awakening as One? or are we just One in the awakening? What happened to looking to the future? Just put a lil bit more effort to make something that you want perfect isn't going to hurt you. But yet, when we finished our struts, there are some who are satisfied, and some who are not. We know ourselves. Aren't we guilty of ourselves? Of putting our lazyness in control over our mind? A project that may become a big success in the future, thrown away just because of our ego-ness and our immature and childish mind and thinking? Once again, awakening as One? or maybe just not?

Maybe, just maybe, we are lack of believe.. We believe in our friends more than ourselves.. Instead, we follow their heart more then we follow our own.. Faith, the strongest power that can even move mountains, are just not fully matured in our hearts and minds.. But instead, our selfishness had taken over.. Maybe we should ask ourselves why are we the chosen one to accomplish this mission? Why not others? Why RUS101 and why it's students? So I guess it's fate that brought you here? Or is it You that made the decision? Bear in mind that whatever decision we had made for ourselves, we are responsible for it and responsibility are not for children..

What I learnt today? Is about the needs of one another.. The power of love and believe among each other.. We must believe in each other's work as we assemble our project. Believe that they have done well and put all their efforts in.. Have faith and courage to face what's coming for us in the future..
We dont decide the future, God does.. Everything is in His hands.. It's just up to us weather to accept it or not.. So, are you prepared for the worst? Or should i say, are you prepared to face the better future?
