In this post, I would like to share a song, "At the Beginning" by Richard Marx and Donna Lewis. This song was released as the first single from "Anastasia" soundtrack on October 21, 1997. I was 7 years old when the song released. "Anastasia" is an American animated musical film. I never watch this animation before but I like its theme song so much.

The lyrics of the song is meaningful. It talks about life and brings out how meaningful our lives are. The lyrics encourages people have to walk through their lives, be brave, unafraid of the future and never give up even though there's a lot of frustration in their lives. It teaches us have to always be strong.

Here's the song and lyrics sharing:



We were strangers
Starting out on a journey
Never dreaming
What we'd have to go through
Now here we are
And I'm suddenly standing
At the beginning with you

No one told me
I was going to find you
Unexpected
What you did to my heart
When I lost hope
You were there to remind me
This is the start

Life is a road
And I want to keep going
Love is a river
I wanna keep flowing
Life is a road
Now and forever
Wonderful journey

I'll be there
When the world stops turning
I'll be there
When the storm is through
In the end I wanna be standing
At the beginning with you

I knew there was somebody somewhere
Like me alone in the dark
Now I know my dream will live on
I've been waiting so long
Nothing's gonna tear us apart

And...

I'm thinking of Blogger When I am doing this written assignment. Why Blogger? Because I'm a blogger and I'm using blogger to blog. I have few Blogger's account. Besides my private blog, I'm using others to do my assignments or projects. For examples, subjects of Computer Graphics, Creative Studies, Creative Communication and this subject, Environmental Design.

I have a private blog. I still remembered that I started my first blog post in year 2009. Then, I addicted with blogging. I can share my thinking and vent out my feeling through blog. I can improve my writing skills too. By using blog, I can know the latest news of my friends who love blogging too. In my opinion, besides facebook, blogging is a convenience social network to connect and contact with others.

I love cartoon, anime, and manga. Beside Doraemon, Pikachu is one of my favourite cartoon characters too. He is one of the species of Pokemon creatures. Pikachu is the most famous character among Pokemon because he is a central character. I love his "pika...pika" sound when he's talking with his host or friends. As I know, when he is angry or facing with the enermy, his face will generate electricity and attack those evil person.

When I was a child, Pokemon was very popular among children. Most of the children, including me bought the collection of Pokemon games, books, trading cards and other media. Before tuition, I changed the cards with my friends. We talked about Pokemon and Pikachu. Both of us played "Pikachu Volleyball" game. That is why Pikachu was the precious memories of my childhood.

I believe that everyone has their own idols or heros during childhood. My hero is Doraemon when I was a kid. Why doraemon? Because Doraemon can fulfill people's wishes by taking out some tools from his pocket in front of his stomach. When I was a child, I always imagine that if i have Doraemon as my partner, I can get straight "A"s during examination, I can be the champion in all competition, I can get toys as many as I wish and so on. Somemore, Doraemon is the hero of the universe. He always try his best to save our earth and people from falling into the wrong hands.

Nowadays, our earth is sick and go from bad to worse. There's a lot of natural disasters happened to our earth and made the masses lost their lives and homeland. If I have Doraemon, I wish he can save the lives and our earth to prevent the end of the world.

The photos above are some examples of interior design.

Based on the definition from Wikipedia.com, interior design is a multi–faceted profession in which creative and technical solutions are applied within a structure to achieve a built interior environment and home lifestyle enhancement.

I like to appreciate interior design because it provides me unlimited of imagination. Eventhough I'm not studying interior design, but everytime When I look at the examples of interior design, I will start to imagine about my future home lifestyle and the decoration of house. Finally, my dream house appears in my mind and I hope it will be mine in someday.

Besides that, I admire the 3D modelling skills of those interior designers. They always built up a good interior environment which looks real. A beautiful interior environment will help me to improve my imagination of the dream house.

As we know, Golden Screen Cinemas (GSC) is the largest chain of cinemas in Malaysia. There are 23 GSC in Malaysia which located in the state of Selangor, Kuala Lumpur, Negeri Sembilan, Melaka, Pahang, Johor, Pulau Penang, Ipoh and Sabah.

All GSC have concessions that sell popcorn, soft drinks, mash potato and other snacks. Normally, the price of GSC tickets are RM10 and above. But, there's an "Special Wednesday Rates" offer from GSC, which is selling tickets for only RM6 on every Wednesday.

For me, GSC Pavillion is my favourite. The halls and seats are wide enough. I feel very comfortable with the seat when enjoying the movie. Besides that, the mash potato sold by GSC and sponsored by Maggie is very delicious. I addicted with the mash potato and love it so much. =)

These photos were captured in Pavillion and Farenheit Kuala Lumpur. The directory boards showed the location of shops, toilets, restaurants, lifts and so on inside the shopping mall.

Those directory boards fulfill the principles of navigation design. We can know where we are and where we are going by following the sign boards or directory boards. It is an easy way for people to know about their current location and search for other places.
