View From Taylor’s University Roof Top – Few days ago, I went around campus to explore fire protection system thingy and this leaded me and my group to the roof top. =D It’s not dangerous, there’s a lot of air con machinery at there but that’s not the main point, main thing is we were at the roof!
Well, the view from the roof top is not really awesome, nothing cool to see. No beautiful sea view or city view.
Yeah.
#instagram Updates 9/04/12 – Some updates on what I am up to lately – ASSIGNMENTS! PROJECTS! I don’t know why, I am not hating projects right now, I do not really favor them, but then I feel I am OK with them, I feel that it’s my responsibility to do well in the projects, I feel that to make my school fee paid for freaking expensive Taylor’s University to be worth, I have to study well.
I want to blog, I want to write, I want to post, but I don’t have time. My computer screen are occupied by Facebook, and CAD (Computer Aided Design) software all the time. Yay. Anyway, follow me on Twitter (@nicholaschan), I update, everyday. =D Lot’s of Instagram photos too!
How are you enjoying your school or working life?
Photograph Scan, Book Fair Bee, One-Leg Goose & Brooklyn Bridge – Back to school, back to university, it’s second week of the new semester and I am very busy already, many assignments to settle and I really have to manage time well. This semester, the timetable is kinda uncomfortable because my class starts at 8am on Monday to Wednesday.
Imagine 8am class, I have to wake up early and I don’t get sufficient sleep everyday. That’s no good to my health. I know I can sleep early to achieve the standard 8 hours of sleep but then I couldn’t do it, I can’t afford to sleep early, I have plenty of work to do, I want to be A Star student. Hahaha. Anyway, class have been going smoothly, it’s fun, it’s tiring, it’s OK, it’s not-bad, it’s still good. Well, let’s check out some interesting photos that I have taken few days ago.
1. Technology is really awesome, now everyone does not need to copy notes on the screen anymore, it just take your camera, point and shoot, and scan. That’s it. Simple as that. It’s funny to see that when everyone is standing in front of the screen.
2. Little reading bee mascot was walking around campus to promote the Taylor’s Book Fair. There was a book fair at the library, a few bookstores were there, but I did not buy anything, I don’t really read, I prefer design magazine. How about you?
3. 1-legged goose! ???? It actually hid its leg and stood on one-leg under the heavy rain, I wondered, why?
4. Followed my friend to the Taylor’s ADP (American Degree Program) office, it’s pretty cool up there, it’s like school in the USA where students can hang out around here. I believe it’s a place for ADP student to wait and chill before the next class.
5. Feel free to hang out here for as long as you want ……….
6. Found Brooklyn Bridge of New York here at the office! I want this in my room.
On the other hand……
Are you guys going to any holiday? It seems to be a while that I did not travel, the last place I traveled was Singapore a few weeks ago, and I am planning to go else where during my next holiday, perhaps Taiwan, or maybe the USA or UK. I am dreaming a lot. Haha, because a lot of friends of mine are in UK, I want to go there to find them and travel around, but my dream place would be the USA.
Anyway, I did actually plan many holiday, but then they normally turns up to be a last minute holiday, ‘plan ahead’ doesn’t seems to work on me. Your itinerary can be plan last minute, but the flights booking shall be made early, else it will be very expensive. Last time, my brother did not book the flights to Los Angeles early, ended up a very expensive flight rate. So, buy your flight ticket early. =D
Almost Sunset At Taylor’s University – I am now back to the big city of Klang Valley (or common to others Kuala Lumpur), I don’t really get to see nice sunrise and sunset by the beach like I get to when I was in Penang. You know Klang Valley is a valley, the nearest shore with sandy beach is an hour away, Sepang Gold Coast, that’s far!
Well, the sunrise and sunset seeing is now in the city. Recently, I just got back my Tamron 17-50mm f2.8 lens from the service centre, to try out this very-long-didn’t-use lens, I took my tripod and went to the highest floor at Taylor’s University to take photos of the sunset. It was not near to dusk yet, it’s almost sunset.
At the hall way of Block E, level 8.
Nice clear blue sky after some super heavy rain which caused the Klang flood, but then the clear sky didn’t result in a round egg yolk style sunset, I realised round egg yolk sun only visible during hazy day. Nevertheless, those few shots were satisfying, I’m gonna go discover more nice location to see sunrise and sunset.
Crane at Taylor’s University, heard there’s a construction of multistory carpark is on going.
What a nice sky and sun.
Please introduce me too, perhaps go to Port Dickson for sunset watching. =D
Jack Neo Director Was At Taylor’s University – Do you know the hit Singaporean movie – I’m Not Stupid? The director of that movie was here at Taylor’s University yesterday, promoting his new film We Not Naughty, which partially filmed in Taylor’s campus too!
Wooo! I am looking forward to watch the film, some friend went to be keh-leh-fair in the film too.
Yesterday, he was in Taylor’s University, selling movie tickets, and giving out free poster and autograph, cool right? But I didn’t buy too because I don’t know I want the poster for what use.
Are you looking forward like me do?

Sunday At Taylor’s University In Super Wide Angle – On a fine lovely Sunday, I mounted my super wide angle and headed to school to meet up with Wesley and Steve to discuss about some group project. Then I snap along with my almighty Sigma 8-16mm for Canon.
Haha, very random right? I wasn’t into serious shooting, so it was just simply shoot around the campus and to show you how Taylor’s University actually looks like in case you never see it before.
#3.
Shooting with wide-angle is indeed fun but sometimes at the widest open, it makes picture look weird and long and, distorted, perhaps is because of the 8mm focal super duper wide.
#4.

#6.
This super duper wide angle lens, I mainly use it for shooting interior shots. Do you like super wide angle?
#1: The Kuan Hwa Kuala Selangor Seafood Restaurant.
Sunset At Kuan Hwa Seafood, Kuala Selangor – This is not a blog post about food, but it’s just happened to be at the famous seafood restaurant, Kuan Hwa at Kuala Selangor. During the trip to Kuala Selangor, the whole class went to for seafood dinner at this restaurant, but half of us did not eat at there, because we didn’t feel like eating seafood at that time.
#2: Snapping photos.
#3: Restaurants and houses on the water.
#4: Birds flying.
#5.
So what we did there was just talking and snapping photos, at the same time seeing others eat. The sunset at there was pretty and I had a feeling of very peaceful and relax at there. It’s like getting myself away from the hustle and bustle city life and the heavy assignments. 
#6: MJ’s enjoying his take-away KFC at the seafood restaurant.
#7: Ruezhen too, was enjoying his KFC.

The calm water and the quiet forest, with a little bit of breezy air blowing along, makes the atmosphere very enjoyable.

Sometimes, it’s good to be away from the busy city, out to the country side, for a little retreat. You know, college is so much different from high school, so much work, it gets stressful sometimes, and there’s no chance for failure because tuition fee is quite expensive, and that’s why a little retreat is good!
Anyway, if there’s chance, I will want to visit the place again.
#1: On the tram.
Bukit Melawati At Kuala Selangor – Hello people, I am back, I am back, I am finally back to blogging! Let’s get into the main topic of the day, 2 weeks ago, I went to a field trip to Kuala Selangor with my Diploma In Interior Design semester 3 classmate as well as my lecturer Miss Sofia. Well, I have been to Kuala Selangor before, the fishing village there but I have never been up to Bukit Melawati, the main attraction of the little country side town.
#2: On the tram, still, going up to Bukit Melawati.
Kuala Selangor is a quiet and peaceful town 45 minutes away from the hustle and bustle city life of Kuala Lumpur. What’s famous here are seafood, Bukit Melawati, fireflies seeing, as well as the Kuala Selangor Nature Park (which I think kinda sucks).
#3: Lighthouse on top.
#4: Monkey and the lighthouse.
#5: Monkey!!!
#6: Monkey!!!!!!!!!! Black.
We took a tram that took us from Kuala Selangor Nature Park up to the Bukit Melawati. The mini hill top is not very high, but yet it gives a spectacular view at the Malacca Straits and the special thing up there are the lighthouse and the monkeys! Yes, I mentioned about monkey.
#7: Nice view with Malacca Straits at far end.
#8: Zhi Sheng!
#9: The blogger me.
#10: Ken, Wesley, me and Steve.
Upon arrival at the top, you will see many monkey wandering around the place, waiting tourist to feed them the monkey food that can be bought at RM1 at there. The monkey food basically is the Chinese Long Bean.
#12: Monkeys acting cool.
#13: The people.
Surprisingly, monkey at there looks different from the one in Botanical Garden, Penang which the monkeys there have black hair and are not aggressive. They won’t snatch or attack you for food.
#14: My lecturer. Haha.
#15: Junior.
#16: Zetty and Ana on the right.
We spent some time up there enjoying the windy breeze and fooling around with the monkey. The place is quite nice. =D
Good Morning 4:18AM – What am I doing at this wee hour of the early morning? It’s about 2 hours plus until sunrise and an hour more till the chicken co0k-a-doo. I believe many of you are sleeping sweetly, traveling in your dream world and there’s still people like me that’s not sleeping, perhaps gaming or studying. I am doing assignment, homework!
3 more weeks till end of semester and there’s many final submission is coming soon. Workload is heavy, not complaining anything, but just feel like needing more time to complete and perfect my work. It’s final, works have to be good and awesome.
I want to sleep too. I don’t to spend all night long working until the sunrise. It feels very weird not sleeping at night and that’s why I am writing this to wish you all a good night before heading to bed. There’s friends of mine that do work at night and don’t sleep at all, I find it quite weird and very wrong. At least, a little sleep of minimum of 4 hours is what I would do.
Well, do you spend time not sleeping in the night and do your work? Or you would rather sleep and do your work the next day, perhaps early in the morning? Share your view.
#1: One of our drawing.
A Week In Taylor’s University #3 – This is the 3rd series of “A Week In Taylor’s University”. This is not my 3rd week in the school though, it’d been I don’t know how many weeks already, I only know I am now in semester 3, closing to the end of semester in about a month time. Sometimes I think, my tuition fees is very expensive, at about RM9,000 per semester (after scholarship discount for me is RM6,000-RM7,000), I get 14 weeks of study week. 14 weeks total up not even half a year or 4 months. In the short 14 weeks, it’s already RM9,000. Expensive.
Now I only realised that other school does collect almost the same amount of school fees, but somehow they get 3 semester a year, which total up 7-9 semester. Woww.
#2. Convival Bazaar by The Design School. I wonder why we, Interior Design was not invited to join. Hmm.
Last week was beautiful because after a busy week before and submission, we finally got some rest for, a few days, but the coming weeks will be busy again because the next assignment and project have been issued.
The school was kinda happening last week with bazaar and fair going on in the school, selling food and accessories. It’s really crowded and, fun.
#3: Gaming session at the Convival Bazaar.
#4: More gaming session.
#5: The stalls at The Convival Bazaar.
#6: Treated myself a cup of Chatime bubble tea after submission and sleepless night.
#7: It’s a Chatime Jasmine Green Tea Mousse with Pearl. Yums.
Weather turned better, not so rainy, not so wet, it was just nice with some cloudy days, which then make sitting by the lakeside comfortable and nice.
#8: The ducks were dating by the lake. So sweet.
#10: Kendrick in blue.
#11: Kendrick and Arvin.
#12: Fishy! So many fishes in the lake right now.
#13: Trying to attract the fishes.
#14: CK and Sofia.
#15: My team, me, Steve, Jia Hui and Wesley.
#16: Our presentation board. Well, it wasn’t a good one because the lecturer said the arrangement was not good. It didn’t go with the flow. What I wanted to show is like telling a story which start of with a book cover, and the details and so on. Think out of the box. But she not likey this way.
It’s pretty much just another week, didn’t take much photo on the week too because was just trying to give myself a break, relax myself after a tiring week. Everything went fine, smooth and lazy.
But Thursday wasn’t that nice to me because that class was from 8am-7pm, technically. What went wrong was in between 2.30pm-5pm was really very boring, it was the longest break ever as lecturer dismisses super duper early. Sigh.
#20: Nasi Lemak 2.5. LOL.
#21: Really crowded. People mountain people sea.
#22: More people.
#23.
#24: Taylor’s Las Vegas with no casino and chicks.
#25: Playboy Mansion here with lots of bunny.
#26: Chinese herbal tea, anyone?
#27: Chinese desserts! Yum yum.
#29: From the balcony.
#30: Looking down during evening.
After class, Wesley, Jia Hui and I went to the balcony at 7th floor, Block E to enjoy the sunset for a little while before heading home. The traffic was bad on Thursday evening, really bad. Took me more than 30 minutes to reach home which is usually about 10 minutes.
New week ahead! Looking forward to! As the week after this will be a short semester break. Yeah!
