  • Blue Sky Day In Taylor’s University

    Blue Sky Day In Taylor's University

    Blue Sky Day In Taylor’s University – Another post of Taylor’s University, guess I’ll let the photo speaks instead. Took my Panasonic LX5 to school last week instead of my Canon DSLR and here are my shots that I have taken. It was a nice morning with big blue sky.

    I really love blue sky as it gives more color to the day and life. I knew that when it’s near to year end, the sky is getting bluer. It makes taking photos fun and nice too!

    Everyday I park at a far place – the free parking zone and take a nice morning walk to school. It’s nice to walk when it’s not raining and sunny, it’s nice to walk on the tar road, but not the rocky road.

    That morning, I aw the playful goose walking around the carpark. Why I said they are playful because they don’t want to stay in the water and intrude human’s territory in the campus. Haha. They really make the whole Taylor’s University home, enjoying every part of the school which is comfortable to them.


    Reading about Taoism in class and I still don’t really understand the religion.


    Steve Pang acting emo. =D


    Loving every part of my MacBook Pro but one cons is that it’s making my back ache as it’s heavy! And its not really good for interior design studio because of software limitation.


    See the traffic jam at 6pm! The whole school is stuck with traffic.

    Campus life so far so good for me, just I kinda miss home at the moment and lots of assignment. Haha.

     

     

  • Mini Flashmob In Taylor’s University Lakeside Campus

    Mini Flashmob In Taylor’s University Lakeside Campus – I was chilling under the tree in my campus last week and suddenly I saw a group of people in black t-shirt, wearing a white mask walking around the lakeside area. Suddenly, a sharp whistle sound was heard in the air.

    In light speed, the group of mysterious people stopped their action, as if the time was frozen and a living statue was form. It’s a flashmob thingy. I believe it’s one of their class activity in school as their lecturer was around taking photos.

    It wasn’t really very sunny, I took my camera, and went to take photos with them.

    A little while, whistle sound can be heard again, they started moving to another area and preparing for another act, and whistle blew again, they stopped again, and we took photos with them again. It was pretty fun, but sooner it’s get sunny and I went back to my comfy zone under the shade.

    I wonder what’s their reaction and thinking when saw me and Wesley fooling around them.

    =D

  • Colourless Thursday In Taylor’s University

    Happy Malaysia Day my fellow friends! Woohoo! Finally, after so many years that this day get recognized.

    Thursday was no good to me. I got emotional, there’s many thought went through my mind, I just kept thinking that I was doing not so well in studies and I tell myself I must try my best and work hard. I am really bad in hand or manual drawing, give me a computer and a mouse, I rather use the computer then use the hand.

    Haha, you might be thinking why I choose interior design despite not good at drawing. I wonder is it necessary? It’s a creative subject, it uses the mind more than hand in my opinion.

    I realised that there’s many good “drawer” or artist in the class which makes me feel lousy. Though, I feel good now, I told myself, I must work hard to be better and the best. I feel better now after taking photos in black and white. Woohoo.

    Thursday is always a tiring day for me because class is from 8am to 7pm with only just an hour of break at noon for lunch. The study hour is even longer than a working person. Haha, I seriously think that they should reedit the timetable again. Computer Aided Design, Moral Eduation, Design Studio and lastly Building Construction.

    Hmm… Not really a good afternoon in uni and I did feel stress and tired.

    Afterall, let’s forget about the down-ness and check out Malaysia’s Day today. Where you guys going? Going to check out the parade at Dataran Merdeka? I wish I could, but I just couldn’t. Have some other plans today. =D

  • A Visit To HELP University And HELP Residence

    Klang Valley I am back! Luckily I did not stuck in the Raya jam last weekend when everyone was just going back to their work town or home town from other place. I came back last Saturday, early in the morning to get rid from the super long jam. My first destination upon arrival was HELP University College at Pusat Bandar Damasara because that my friend, Chien Chern who fetched me and Tee Jin back wanted to check in to the hostel of his new school.

    This was my first time visiting the campus and I never really knew the exact location. Friends keep telling me it’s near to Mid Valley, near to Bangsar, it’s at Damansara. But I have no idea where it was, when I heard about Damansara, I only know about Damasara Utama, where the shopping mall 1 Utama is. Haha.

    But now, I know where it is located, and it’s located undergroumd. Haha. Not exactly underground, the building itself is on a hill slope which the upper part is office building and lower part to the slope is the campus itself.

    It was already close when we visited the place. It’s quiet, it’s so much different from Taylor’s University that I am studying in, it look, different. HAHA.

    Next was to visit the HELP Residence, the hostel for the school. It’s just accompanying my friend to check-in and check out the hostel.

    RM550 without utilities fee on a twin-sharing room with bathroom, without kitchen. What do you think? Looking at the photo, they look a bit dirty on the wall, but the HELP University has responded with a comment below, quite good:

    Nick, Thank you for sharing your photos with us. I wished we had the chance to show you around HELP Damansara campus and the Residence. For your information, we have identified the room and immediately went in to repair and repainted the place. This is certainly an isolated case. The previous student had just moved out in the previous week and due to the long Raya holidays, the maintenance staff had not cleaned up the room in time for your friend’s check in. By the way, here is a link to show you the rest of the facilities in HELP. http://www.help.edu.my/sites/h…

    Nervertheless, HELP Residence do have a good view out of the window.

  • Good Night – Miss Abu Maggi Mee

    Untitled

    Penang people sure know about this road, Jalan Datuk Koyah which become happenings at night when Abu Mamak Stall start operating. The springy Maggi instant noodle cook in a pan fried way, serving with an omelet and deep fried chicken, it’s just interesting and mouth watering to eat at late night even that eating at late night is not a good habit.

    At this moment, I misses the Maggi Goreng Ayam. HAHA. Good night. Where in KL can I find Abu-style Maggi Mee?

    Feel free to read my food blog (Shiok Or Not) when you are hungry!

  • Goose At Taylor’s University Lakeside Campus

    Taylor’s University Lakeside Campus is one of the nicest university campus in Malaysia, the school fees also very “nice (expensive)”, yet the campus is really good. There’s a not-very-big lake in the middle of the campus.

    On a fine and cloudy, relaxing and lovely afternoon at Taylor’s University Lakeside Campus, students strolled around the lakeside and I saw animal by the lake.

    The are the goose! I am not sure they are goose or duck. I thought it was duck, but mom told me it’s goose.

    It’s goose because they are fatter and the neck is longer. What do you think?

    These are the playful goose that always get onto the steps to find food. Students and passersby do feed them occasionally.

     

     

    Luckily they didn’t get further onto the land, the found it bored and went back for a swim in the water. =D

     

  • Parking And Walk To Taylor’s On Wednesday

    This is quite a random post about what happened last Wednesday at Taylor’s University. Class was at in the middle of the day and I pretty hate it because of the hassle of looking for a parking spot in the campus.

    Parking in university is always not a good thing as there’s so many student and cars where parking spots are not able to accommodate everyone, especially when selfish people like me don’t want to park at the paid zone. Even if I am forced to park at the paid zone, it would be full.

    I parked far far away that afternoon, and took a nice walk about 400m to campus from car park. The weather was pretty cloudy and good. Wonder why it’s raining here so much, typhoon in Taiwan, hurricane in the USA and here we got the rainy days.

    I wonder why the school want to collect fee for student’s parking. Why is the fee we paid isn’t able to cover a parking spot, I wonder why. It’s ok to collect money for parking fare, but at least built us a proper parking area with a good covered walkway that protect us from the shines and rain. Then I will shut my mouth up. Imagine walking to and from the car in the midst of hot sun or a rainy day.


    Spotted an unknown lecturer got a surprise birthday wish from her friends. Pretty cool.

    The school is getting more and more commercialize which isn’t a good way of promoting education. That’s reality, that’s fact.

    One fact about Taylor’s University is that the traffic jam that occur around 4pm everyday. It’s the super big jam in campus, connecting out to the main road until the nearest traffic light. A normal good flow of traffic will takes about less than 10 minutes out but with a jam, do expect about half an hour.

    I have already accepted the shity rocky parking, finding a parking spot and walking towards class. That’s my college life. HA! Blablabla.

  • Last Thursday In Taylor’s University

    Last Thursday In Taylor’s University

    Thursday is both nice and not-so-nice day because Thursday is near to weekend, so it’s nice, but on the other hand, it’s a tiring day as my class started early in the morning till late evening. And all the classes are in a continuous manner with just a little break in between for lunch.

    I am getting myself to suit with the parking system at Taylor’s University. Ever since Taylor’s University started collect RM3 for the parking at the basement and the one nearer to the campus, I have to park my car at the so-called “Taylor’s Rocky Parking Area” which you can see in photo above. Every time I reached school, the whole parking area is almost full and I have to park until the end of the parking area, which is about 500-700m walking distance? It’s good to walk in the morning, but imagine rain and Sunny afternoon. Why don’t they just built a sheltered walkway for students. What a noob management of the school that is being inconsiderate.

     

    First class of the day is the CAD (Computer Aided Design) class which I am learning about AutoCAD. I love functioning and playing with the computer, but so far, nothing much powerful have been learned. The lecturer is being slow at the moment. Hmm. I need some speed up to learn something more powerful. Catching up news and Facebook are something I would do during the CAD class, I believe everyone too. =D

     

    Later then is the boring Moral Education class, which is a compulsory subject for the Malaysian students. What’s wrong with the Ministry Of Education? We have done 11 years of moral education, and now we are doing it again in college/university. One of our project for this Moral Education is to do a total 16 hours of community service. Sounds cool. Though, I have no idea where to service in Petaling Jaya / Klang Valley, any recommendation?

     

    Sad that this class has not many people, that’s not so fun as I couldn’t meet some new friends from other courses. I wish I have module that mix with other courses, but too bad, there’s none for me. It’s not to the point of real university style yet. My course is just like high school, where my class is still the same, my class until graduate.

     

    Lunch was really suck as I had no appetite that noon and nothing at the Recezz food court amaze me. Everything is just so-so, even the Curry Chicken Noodle that I once like went lousy already. Sigh. Things get bored when there’s no pork, seriously. It’s so halal. However, I have a recent like that are the I Love Yoo porridge and the Yong Tau Fu with rice in my campus. =D

     

     

    Drop by the library for a while to print some stuff. The school still haven’t credit me the printing money for this semester! &%$#%*(## Damn, it’d been half a month since new semester started. I need my money to print!

     

    Had my Design Studio class at a room called the Print Room. No idea what that means by it’s my first time attending class at such nice room with an awesome view of the lake. I believe the room belongs to the Graphic Design student. No idea why were we there.


    Anna, Nita and Arowa. All foreigner, one from Belarus, one from Indonesia, one from Saudi Arabia.

    The class was rather OK for that day as nothing much I have done for the hotel room design. First project of the semester is designing a Royal Thai Style VIP Suite. It’s pretty challenging for me as Thai style is very complicated and I am a minimalist, modernistic person. Haha.


    Instax Mini 25! Brought it to school to shoot shoot. Though, nothing much to shoot. Haha.

    Class ended a little bit earlier and so, me, Wesley and Jia Hui went to the lakeside for a seat to pass time and enjoy the breeze and view. Suddenly feel that the school was so relaxing and good, too bad this is Malaysia, and it is warm and humid. Lakeside relaxing is only fun when it’s near to evening and after a rain, or perhaps a cloudy day.

     

    The weather was nice that day and it rain later when I attended another class called the Building Construction class. Later that night, I went to watch movie and tour the night market. What a tiring Thursday. Haha.

     

     

  • August Workspace With Ikea Lightings

    August Workspace With Ikea Lightings

    I love clean and organize workspace and bedroom but the clean won’t really last long as it will be back to a mess after a few days of usage. Though, I just enjoy cleaning it over and over again. Recently, I just bought some lighting from Ikea to decorate my room for a better atmosphere for all study, work, play and sleep.

     

    To me, I feel that a room is the soul of a person and it’s represent a person personality. Being an interior design student, my room must be clean and organized, as well as well-decorated, which I don’t really get to decorate as this is just a rented room.

    A good and beautiful room will boost productivity. It’s better hanging in the room at night than hanging out in the pubs, spending money. That’s my opinion for that.

     

    Do you have/like a clean room?

  • #instagram I Am Back

    Blogging on WordPress has caused me a few problems. It’s a good blogging platform when compare to the Blogspot Blogger engine, but I some times favor the Blogspot as it’s fast and easy to blog. I have been having problem with posting link and not auto-saving after updating my blog and finally I have found a solution.

    Tomorrow is Friday and it’s no-school day. Gonna do assignment, and check out some good food at Sunway Pyramid and also write my blog! So stay tune and good night. It’s so late. I always try to tell myself to sleep early, but I fail, all the time. =D

    By the way, do follow me on Instagram @nicholaschan. =) Have been addicted to this little application on the iPhone lately.
