    Instagram For Android, Finally

    Instagram For Android, Finally – I should have post this to my tech blog, but I’m just so happy that I want to spread my happiness here. YESSS!!! INSTAGRAM FOR ANDROID IS FINALLY HERRE!!!!! … after so long time of waiting.

    Instagram For Android, Finally
    Big Instagram and small Instagram.

    I was iPhone 3GS user, the camera sucks, and now I am Samsung Galaxy S2, the camera is awesome, and with the release of Instagram, my favourite app, oh yeah! I am so happy, I have been waiting so long. I always wanted an iPhone, just for Instagram but I kinda like Android devices, maybe I am a geek.

    Follow me on Instagram, @nicholaschan, I will follow you back. Download now at Google Play Store via your phone.

    On the other hand…

    I have a UK friend asking me whether is there any flights to Thailand from London? The answer is, YES, INDEED. There’s actually many low-cost flight that flies you to Thailand from London and Europe, and well friend, you have picked an awesome travel destination, Thailand is simply awesome! I miss Thai food now, and Bangkok.

  • Photograph Scan, Book Fair Bee, One-Leg Goose & Brooklyn Bridge

    Photograph Scan, Book Fair Bee, One-Leg Goose & Brooklyn Bridge

    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

    Almost Sunset At Taylor’s University

    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!

    Almost Sunset At Taylor's University

    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.

    Almost Sunset At Taylor's University

    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.

    Almost Sunset At Taylor's University
    Crane at Taylor’s University, heard there’s a construction of multistory carpark is on going.

    Almost Sunset At Taylor's University
    What a nice sky and sun.

    Please introduce me too, perhaps go to Port Dickson for sunset watching. =D

    Typo At Pavilion, Kuala Lumpur & Bought iPad Sleeve – Do you know Typo? Typo is a stationery & decor shop by the Australian boutique company Cotton On. I now only know it’s located at 4th floor of Pavilion, beside Snowflakes. Two weeks ago, I was in Singapore and I went to look for Typo at there too, never know that Malaysia has an outlet too.

    Typo At Pavilion, Kuala Lumpur & Bought iPad Sleeve

    Typo is now one of my favourite stationery shop because of the hippy, cool stationery like notebooks, pen, planner, accessories and more with cool graphics and typography. I bought an PU iPad sleeve at there too! RM60 only, to protect my iPad from, especially the Smart Cover from getting dirty. =D One thing, I realised some stuff here is kinda expensive compare to Singapore’s.

    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!

    Jack Neo Director Was At Taylor's University

    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.

    My Genarasi – Video That Brought Back Young Memories – This is a good video to share with you guys. It’s a short film made by Jinnyboy from Hitz.fm and it’s really brought back the memories during young days in the primary school and secondary school.

    My Genarasi - Video That Brought Back Young Memories

    Thinking back to the days, it’s fun and really naive, and happy too. Remember you brought cool school bags to school? Remembers those trolley bag with cartoons on it? It’s really funny, when seeing other people has a better stationery set and myself wanted one too. Autograph book was like a indirect way to get a girls contact during primary school, so that I can hide the shuness inside of me. Haha. Who’s need autograph book now when there’s Facebook?

    My Genarasi - Video That Brought Back Young Memories

    The eraser rubber flipping game was very stupid too, it was a heat during form 2 where everyone has their own ‘rubber’ and ‘battle’ with each other in class. Pepsi-cola, beer bottle cap game and more, are all from my time, wonder what’s with today’s kids? Spamming on Facebook wall? DotA all day long? Or iPad iPad iPad? =D

  • Cloudy Sunrise At Jelutong Expressway

    Cloudy Sunrise At Jelutong Expressway

    Cloudy Sunrise At Jelutong Expressway – There’s so many nice sunrise-watching & photography spots in Penang. How wish that I can explore more right now, but then I couldn’t because I am now in Kuala Lumpur. Gonna find some nice spot here too.

    Few weeks back, I went to Jelutong Expressway to scout for a good spot to do sunrise photography. It’s somewhere near the fishing house, I couldn’t find it at first. I’ve seen many people go there to take photograph, but I have no idea which is the best spot. It’s not really comfortable at there because of the mosquitoes, better prepare an insect repellant to prevent mosquito aedes.

    Well, the sky was not clear that day, it’s cloudy and so the sun could not really be seen, it’s just the beauty of dawn and twilight.

    MUJI Is Coming To Pavilion, Kuala Lumpur – The minimalist design lifestyle Japanese shop – Muji has finally arrived in Malaysia after so many years. I am a fan of MUJI although the price is rather expensive, but the simplicity of the design is just awesome. I like the stationery the most, can’t wait to visit it in April 2012 at Pavilion to do some shoppings. Last time in high school, my pencil case was full of MUJI pens that I bought from MUJI Singapore + Bangkok.

  • Goddess Of Mercy – Guan Yin’s Birthday 观音誕

    Goddess Of Mercy – Guan Yin’s Birthday 观音誕

    Goddess Of Mercy – Guan Yin’s Birthday 观音誕 (Guan Yin Dan) – Taoist and devotees celebrates the birthday of Goddess of Mercy (also known as Guan Yin Dan) on 19th February, 19th Jun and 19th September each year on the lunar calendar.

    Goddess Of Mercy - Guan Yin's Birthday 观音誕 (Guan Yin Dan)
    It’s a very hot Sunday!

    Today is the 19th February in the lunar calendar and it’s a very happenings day at the Goddess of Mercy Temple (Kuan Yin Teng) on Pitt Street. I went there with grandma to pray, I also brought along my camera to take photos of the celebration. It’s really very crowded and hot because of the burning of joss stick. It’s overly crowded in the temple hall, moreover some part of the temple is closed for renovation.

    It’s very uncomfortable to move around due to the heat and amount of people, but then I managed to ooze myself into the crowd to pray and take photos.

    There’s a corner offering ear piercing. It is said that it brings good luck to the children who get their ears pierced during Guan Yin’s birthday. There’s many parents bring their little girls for ear piercing. It looks pain, some are brave and some cried. I’ve pierced before and I know the feeling. Haha.

  • Penang First Taoist Float Procession 槟城太上老君古庙游神

    Penang First Taoist Float Procession 槟城太上老君古庙游神

    Penang First Taoist Float Procession 槟城太上老君古庙游神 – Last Sunday, Penang has its first Taoist Float Procession with a spiritual route of 11.8km, and a length of 4km of more than 80 floats, representing different Taoist temple around Penang, and other state.

    Penang First Taoist Float Procession 槟城太上老君古庙游神

    This Taoist float procession was organized in conjunction with the 115th Anniversary of the Lean Wah Thong Temple in Air Itam, Penang. It has attracted many locals and tourists to experience the float procession and also caused some traffic congestion in town.

    I didn’t really know about it at first until my grandma told me about this event, only then I searched on the Internet and found out about it. It’s very cool, with many different Taoism god on the decorated float and many devotees join the procession. It’s a very happenings night, but I think the state tourism and culture authority should tell people more about it, so more people can experience the event as I know many didn’t know about this event.
