Life and Architecture

This Hilltop Theatre is located in the southern part of Cambodia at Kep province on the foot of a mountain which is the place for young students go for their camping activities. The place is called Shalom Valley. I will tell the story of how I am able to have the great opportunity to design this chapel building.  First, I was recommended by my former director to do a freelance project for Shalom Valley (SV). The first project I did was designing a public toilet for camping students. Most of the layout was already designed by client. They just needed an architect to help making the plan right into architectural plan set of 2D and 3D view for construction. The thing is they really love my work so they start to like working with me. Months later, SV introduced me another toilet design and they ended up to like the project again. The toilet has a good natural ventilation then allows bad smell go out and fresh air come it. Another one project was a construction detail drawing of a playg...

Autumn 2016, Nami Island, South Korea  In Joy While Dwelling in Loneliness  Thank you, Lord for Your goodness, to my life. Thank you that You make me happy even sometimes things cannot be fixed but You help me to go through and accept those. You help me to left behind all of those unfixed things so I can continue to live in Your presence, Your mercy, and know You are with me and You are leading me. You hold my hand to the place that is good. You know what I need better than I know myself. Thank you, Lord for Your blood, to wash my sin. The sin from my great grandparents. Thank for showing me a new hope in that empty way. Thank for Your forgiveness and count me as Your daughter. Thank for protecting me in my mother’s womb. Without Your protection, I cannot be living today and tomorrow. Thank you, Lord for people around me that You bring into. Some give me the lessons that things are not permanent on earth so I can depend on you. Some give me press...

Graduation Feb 2019, Inha University  A Tough but A Start  Let me tell you about my story. It is probably too long to read but it is something to write and read about. It is about how I started and finished my study in South Korean in three years. I would like to give a title of this chapter of my long journey, "A Tough but A Start". Every morning, getting up from a sleep, preparing and heading to work, I was working as a housing planning officer in my office which had only me as a person who graduated from architecture. This daily habit repeated again and again till I felt I wanted to do something different but it was just a feeling not an actual plan. I had a good relationship with everyone around me and could be said I was having a good job too. It was maybe what I dreamed for. It was a time I were on a mission trip outside the country that I heard about a scholarship opportunity. I was hesitate to apply because it was too rush and I thought I were not ready to...

It is the highest mountain I have never been too. It took 4-5 hours walking to the top. Along the way it has different wonderful view such as bridges, waterfalls, trees 🌲 , birds, people enjoying taking picture, etc. I did not know I almost reached the top while talking about this and that with a friend. it was raining with a cold weather. I thought I might caught a cold but luckily I didn’t. It was about th e closing time. I and another friend were the latest ones to reach the top so I wanted to go back because I had only about 10mn more to go before the closing time. Some friends who came down and met us along the way said that it was not beautiful; you didn’t need to go. Some said you should go because you almost there; just go and take picture. I was considering and then decided to go in a hurried walk. I was so tired at that time. Yes, finally I reached the top of it. I can see it by my eyes whether it is beautiful or not. I can know it by my self. I have learnt something. We a...
