124 DAYS PROJECT.

2015,close to the end of the last four months......

I was wondering have I spend past months usefully.I can t be sure about it.what i m trying to do is coming next 124 days do something new and experimental  per each day.I have 10 -11 hours working the office.But still  I have 14 to 13 hours.so where  I an getting board is on that time.if i can do some exiting thing per day and I will ended up doing 124 things  in the end of the year.
 So just a brief introduction about what I do.....
currently i m working as the project architect in  water front development resort  project.project. Glennee Street ,Colombo 02.I have no idea how this area looked like 30- 40 years ago..but I can show you how this place look like  now and how it will be in 2018 if  I m going to survive till the end of this project.
Mainly we are working with Koreans. All of them are Kim,Lee or Kang.The diversity of people which we can see from south Asia will never experienced form them.They dress same,talk same , very identical.Scared to say good morning , because I have a feeling that they will never reply the same way....And I have experienced that...
But working ethics are superb. Punctuality,accuracy ,perfection those are the things really matters when we are working with  Korean People.I never been  to South Korea.....I believe it s land of perfection and accuracy......If some one  can comment on that....
Also first time in my life i m working as with a Portuguese  architect from the consultant office.
In school days I have learnt that our  coastal area and some parts of the country was controlled by Portuguese,  apart form that one of my cousin sister  is married to a guy whose surname is De Zaa ,claims that his ancestor are Portuguese but except for this name there are no any evident  proofs that he is  Portuguese.
What  I learnt from history that Portuguese are infamous for being ruthless during their time in Sri Lanka.Don Jeranimo Asawedu one person that I remember.History  is not always fascinating.So I think the Portuguese chapter in Sri lanka is  not really fascinating at  all.
For me Sri Lankan history is not fascinating at all.it s good not to talk about Sri Lankan history...I might get into trouble....
so I will show some random pictures of the site now.
any one has how this palace look like 10-20 years ago...if so please  upload...for recording purpose only.....
My first experience about this was as a student we had a joint student programme with Architect student from University of Singapore.That was 10 years ago...But did not record anything at the edge of the Biere Lake..All I remember is the Hotel Nippon with Pink color ,now of course they have changed the color and the candied introduction about Slave Island Railway station From Prof.David Robson.Of courses the railway station is bit famous with it s historical look and  steel trusses.
Even in another 20 -30 years if you go into this railway station I believe this place will pretty much the same..
If you are really this was a shooting location for movie  "Water"
These are some random pictures of the site....actually this is my first time experience  with tower cranes...Lot  of things for me this project is the first place....


so what will my today excitement...first I m going  to work in the office...till 6 p.m...Hope by that time I wll get to know something to my mind as a sudden gumption.
but anyone can help I m relay thankful.I have almost 10 hours.....https://goo.gl/maps/pkS2G
