Lately I keep talking about change this and change that. And yes, it’s because in fact change is a normal process in our life. You change, I change. The condition changes. Sometimes we change, and sometimes we are being changed.

Yes, people changes and being changed.

The second semester for this session has begun and as usual, our planning studio got new board. The new CEO/Project Manager is Imah and her assistant is Alia. Tasya becomes the new secretary and majority then chose Nelza to be the treasurer again. Yeah, I admit she is very talented in collecting money so generally it’s a nice thing that she could continue managing the fund.

People being changed. That’s it.

Last night, I attended a talk on the topic “What’s the purpose of we are here in the university?”. It was a nice and inspiring talk so I gave my ear until the end of the talk. It’s started with the video presentation, talk and then discussion in groups. We talked to each other and shared our thoughts and experiences. And to be honest, I was so amazed that some of them shared their dark experiences and how they changed until they become who they are now. Wow. Amazing.

And yes, people changes.

People changes and being changed.

I had posted about moving into new place before this. I also had mentioned about the moving service that will help you to move into your new place. Yes, moving can give you headache if you cannot manage it properly. Besides, it consumes your time and has potential to give you more problems in the future.

That’s why I suggest you to make moving easier.

I had a random chat with a guy from L.A. a few days before. We shared a lot of information about blogging, tech, and etc. until we came to talk about life and living. And I asked about moving. As expected, he said that moving is not easy as we thought. Sometimes it consumes a lot of time as well as money to deal alone with all the belongings. So the best solution is by getting local movers service to help you move easier and free-stress.

Some people might say that letting other people deal with their belongings is not good in term of privacy and safety in term of loss due to unexpected  damage. But for me, it’s not a thing to be worried because moving service such as Moving Companies Los Angeles offers professional packing as well as experienced and professionally trained movers. I’m pretty sure they know what to do so you don’t have to worry if you want to get a moving quote.

I know a moving company that is Los Angeles Local Movers. Clients that are moving in Los Angeles can contact the toll-free number 1-800-431-3920 to get a free moving quote for them.

That’s it. I’m sure that moving service will help you to make your move easier and stress-free.

For the guy who had random chat with me through Yahoo! Chat a few days ago, sorry I forgot your name but it’s amazing to have a chat with you. If you see a guy using nickname ‘aloneinhome’, don’t forget to give me a buzz!

Ms. Alison Brown giving her talk. In front of her is Dr. Rustam,
Head of Department for Dept. Urban & Regional Planning

I attended a talk on planning today. The talk was presented by Ms. Alison Brown from Cardiff University. The talk separated into three parts – ‘Planning for London‘, discussion on planning in KL & London, followed by ‘Urban Policies & The Right to The City‘.

An interesting talk. And there are some important points that had been raised through this 2-hours talk.

Planning for London

In this part, Ms. Alison Brown explained the development of London starting from its history, the mayors, as well as the existing and future projects. I feel impressed with the development of Dockland and London Heathrow Terminal 5 where these projects could give a significant impact to their surroundings although facing some critics at their early stages. One more – she mentioned about the use of ‘space syntax’ in the pedestrianization in Trafalgar Squares in order to increase pedestrian movements. Something new for me

Discussion: Planning in KL & London

KL & London basically got some similarities in term of planning ideas however there are some key differences especially when dealing with the authority that manages the development of the city. It brought us to planning & politics in Malaysia where in some places – politicians are the one who determine the development, not the planners. The part of National or Local Plan had been followed – in case it’s in conjunction with the political agenda. Well, that’s fact. Some other points quite related to politics such as the Mayor’s position – the one that should be elected by the people, not been chosen by any party.

The Right to The City

This part is quite complicated (for me). Ms. Alison Brown also involved in UNESCO programs and.. about this thing.. maybe I have to read more about this. But it’s interesting where (from my understanding) we humans have to give the right to the city so the city could provide us with a better living environment. So there are some sort of policies and projects to reach the objectives that is for the better urban future. Maybe you have something to say about this, just surf to UN-HABITAT forums and join the forum there.

Actually I rushed to the talk in order to get the seat but there were a lot more chairs than people until the end of the talk. I realized that attending seminar & talks is a great way to enhance the add-on values in myself so that’s what I wanna implement in myself right now. Well, I was too afraid to say something, asking questions or giving any opinions so I believe attending more seminars & talks will make me used to it and be more brave when discussing or giving my opinions.

Gsoh. It’s long! Btw, there is a talk on Economic Revolution on Dirham & Dinar on this coming Tuesday (10th Nov 2009)  but I have final paper on that day. Well, maybe next time.

I’m creating a new hobby for myself – Attending talks & seminars! How is it?
