Proposal
Yesterday night S & I and his nephew did a proposal for a golf driving range & golf academy. His niece is an architecture student & almost effortlessly did the perspective view of the driving range and captured the images from various planes of elevation. Simply superb, as I would be completely clueless and hopeless when it comes to these artistic designs.
I did the linguistic part: the slides presentation, objectives, operations, business model & the related stuff. What I found was- it was pretty fun. S has a particular vision in mind & it translated to words and transformed into images before our very eyes (with the help of Aiman & me of course.. *always remember to take credit my dear girl*). I do hope he gets the project because it is an interesting notion, achievable & in a way greatness-inspired (because they want to groom professional golfers from a young age).
My concern is, as usual, the environment: I dread to think of the number of trees they have to cut down, to create an open space that is the driving range.. and we already have one too many golf courses and driving ranges in Malaysia.. and it is a sport that is affordable to a select group (I for one cannot afford to play golf, literally).
If I were the landowner (honestly) I would probably preserve the green & turn it into an educational centre similar to Rimba Ilmu (rimba.um.edu.my) or Sultan Idris Shah Forestry Education Centre (www.sisfec.upm.edu.my) for kids to learn about the living breathing glorious flora and fauna surrounding them.. OR even something like a SkyTrex (www.skytrex-adventure.com) where kids and adults can climb and frolick underneath the canopy of mature trees.. OR simply leave it alone, let the trees grow & create a recreational park like FRIM (http://www.frim.gov.my/) or Bukit Jalil Park. A whole lot of people can enjoy it and the most expensive is probably SkyTrex at RM58.. because they have to maintain the equipments.. otherwise these premises are literally free of charge.
Maybe one day I can convert S into a believer. Until then I will go with this exploration of talent- I realised that I do have a knack for these written proposals & persuasive language (so long as I don't have to do the presentation myself, because I kinda suck at it).
