Plans and Interest

Plans for career:

In 5 years:
To find a permanent job with interior architecture or any other jobs that relevant architecture or design after I graduate in the end of 2008.

Travel in other countries in order to reinforce my architectural design knowledge.

Participate in some design competition.

To continue to study Master of Interior Architecture or Master of Architecture in other countries such as Australia, USA and UK should the occasion arise.

In 10 years:
I hope to be still living in New Zealand, and become a professional interior architect in a few years. To have my design work displayed anywhere in the country would be a bonus.

Interest:

Photography: I like to take photos with my digital camera any where, any time to record what has happened in my life. Then use these original references to do some graphic designs in Photoshop.

Singing: Singing is a good way to relax. I like to go to the Karaoke with my friends.
Listen to the music: Music is the same as my second life. I always elect different music by my different emotions.

Writing: Sometimes I like to write Chinese poems, novels and my understanding of the philosophy of life. I also like to write English diaries in order to improve my English skills.

Using the internet: It is an easy way to know what the world is happening. I like to search many architecture information and design ideas. I also like to chat with my friends who are from all over the world with MSN.

Traveling and collection: I personally think ‘Interest can be the best teacher’ during our study life. If you like architecture and design so much, you will spend many times and entire passions on that in order to reinforce your knowledge. I quite like traveling, it is not only for fun, and it’s a good way to collect much architecture information. I was interested in looking at the local culture. The important thing I learned was that architecture is so much more important than its physical and aesthetic qualities. What’s important is what buildings do for people. They give the people a sense of belonging.
