  • General Printing Centre – The Hidden Print Shop In Taylor’s University

    General Printing Centre – The Hidden Print Shop In Taylor’s University – I am not promoting the print shop in Taylor’s but just to share with you all Taylorian who might not know there’s a hidden print shop hidden behind the lorong (alley) of the Administration Office. I’ve met Taylorian who doesn’t knows the exist of this shop. Haha.

    This place is somewhat cheaper and not cheaper than the school’s Follow-You-Print machine, you will know what I mean by cheaper and not cheaper.

    In Taylor’s University, students get RM30 printing allowance per year which is used for printing notes and other document through the Follow-You-Print photocopy-scan-printing machines that are located in the library and computer lab. Price for Follow-You-Print is:

    • RM0.10 for Black&White A4
    • RM1.50 for Color A4
    • RM0.20 for Black&White A3
    • RM3.00 for Color A3

    Printing at Taylor’s machine usually takes time when there’s many student using it and you need to climb the stairs to the computer lab or library. But when you are in a rush, you can go to General Printing Centre with the price of:

    • RM0.10 for Black&White A4
    • RM1.00 for Color A4
    • RM1.00 for Black&White A3
    • RM2.00 for Color A3

    Can you see the difference there? RM1.00 for Black&White A3 which is freaking expensive and freaked me out once when I went to print. I thought it was RM0.20 just like the school’s.

    Both places have their pros and cons. For normal print, color prints, I will go to General Printing Centre but for black & white prints, I will go to the school’s machine.

     

  • Make Site Model For Design Studio’s Site Analysis

    Make Site Model For Design Studio Site Analysis – Ignore the title, I guess you don’t know what is it all about. Design Studio is one of my subject and recently we made a site model for site analysis. =D

    Making model is fun but sometimes I feel lazy on making it but the feeling of completing it is really nice and satisfying as you can see what you have just built, however it’s just a waste of space after submitting it also. HAHA. Afterall, making model is not my favourite part of design process, I prefer rendering a realistic design of it through the power of computer software and hardware.

    Back to the site model, we bought materials, and we make according to our own methods as there’s no class on how to make one.

    My team, Wesley, Jia Hui, Steve and me are not architectural student but are just students of interior design trying our best to make the model. Some times, I wonder why an interior design student needs to make the site model, isn’t it’s architect’s work? Maybe it’s just parts of the syllabus.

    There’s actually material call the model board, architectural model paper, which are used especially for making architectural model. Spent a whole day in the studio and we did have something out of the materials.

    Cute right? Let’s see the final one.

    Cool right? It’s just like art class instead of interior design. LOL.

  • Always Rain In Klang Valley

    Always Rain In Klang Valley

    Always Rain In Klang Valley – It’d been raining almost everyday and the rain has just stopped now long here in Petaling Jaya. Is it the rain season right now? I wonder where the rainfall is coming from. It’s really raining non-stop and heavily here and there. There’s hurricane in the US past few weeks, there’s typhoon in Taiwan, there’s hurricane in Japan, what’s happening to the earth? 2012 is coming? Haha.

    Rainy day is very nice to stay indoor, relax, chill and sleep at home, but it’s not nice to be out, it’s so troublesome that I have to carry an umbrella all around, pants and feet get wet, and of course the most hate of all, traffic jam.

    How about you? Do you like rainy day?

     

  • Hello New York

    Hello New York

    Hello New York

    Hello New York – I am now in New York right now, weather not bad. I see many yellow cab, I see Apple Store on 5th Avenue, Statue of Liberty is very pretty, Times Square is really very happenings, but food here are so expensive.

    =D I want to go NEW YORK CITY!

  • A Visit To KL Tower (Menara KL)

    A Visit To KL Tower (Menara KL) – KL Tower is one of the building that beautify up the Kuala Lumpur skyline after the Petronas Twin Towers. It’s actually a telecommunications and broadcasting tower that looks taller than the Petronas Twin Towers from far because it’s located on a hill – Bukit Nanas.

    I am bet many of you have been to the Petronas Twin Towers, I mean the bottom of it, but did not go to the KL Tower before. I know it’s probably because it’s not easy to access by public transport. Last week, brother brought me and his girlfriend to the tower for a visit.

    The entrance is RM35 for Malaysian citizen and RM45 for non-local and included a walk in the observatory zone and a little fun time with either a ride on the pony, or a visit to the super mini animal house, or play the F1 simulation. I’ve got to say, it’s not really a worth visit because it’s just a view and the fun part is just stupid and lame. You will know later.


    Audio guide is available too.

    It’s a good visit on top because you can take a good view on the city, yet not worthwhile. Sigh. It’s really not international standard although the staffs were very friendly, greeting you from bottom to top. Hmm. It’s just a small round at the observatory zone which takes about half an hour.

    Telescope is free to use and there’s mini souvenirs stalls on top. It was going to rain that day, but still get a glimpse of the Klang Valley.

    From top, only then I know that the city planning is kinda, err, not organized. It’s like building here and there with only a few significant architecture. Lalalalalala.

    After taking photos, touring on top, we went down to get a drinks before proceeding to the F1 simulation that was included in our ticket. This is so bullshit that it’s just a steering wheel controller connected to a computer. Maybe the software is good, but I still didn’t get the feel of F1, the chair was not moving, the sound was not loud as if I am at the circuit, it just feels like playing a computer game. Hmmmmm. Lame.

    45 minutes and here goes our RM35.


    The lobby/entrance.

    Bye bye. You can check out the website for more information.

  • Singapore’s Esplanade, Marina Bay Sands And Olympic Walk

    Singapore’s Esplanade, Marina Bay Sands And Olympic Walk

    Singapore’s Esplanade, Marina Bay Sands And Olympic Walk – Today, I want to share with you the beauty of the Singapore’s city and the recent Marina Bay Sands Resorts. I went there a few months back when I was visiting my brother and brother took me for a stroll after dinner at the Esplanade and Marina Bay Sands Resorts to enjoy the night scene of Singapore City and to take photos.

    Singapore is a very standard country, what I mean standard is a very well-organized country with no messy construction. All building in the Singapore skyline are align in a proper manner which makes it a great city. Somehow, I still love my own hometown, Penang, which is also one of the Straits Settlement area.

    Back to Singapore, I walked from Esplanade to Marina Bay Sands Resorts. The walk took about 15 minutes, from Esplanade, passing the Youth Olympic Park and crossing the cool Helix Bridge. It’s my first time going there after so many visit to Singapore almost every year. I will be going there again soon.

    So sad that I didn’t bring a tripod with me, else the photo will be even nicer and cooler. I found some platform which I put my camera there, set on timer and take a shot. The Marina Bay Sands indeed look like a spaceship on top and a very futuristic architecture can be seen. The ArtScience Museum is shaped like a hand and it fired beam during the light show at at night. It’s nice that there’s light show like in the Hong Kong entertaining people.

    Checking out the inside, it’s a shopping mall, hotel plus the main thing, casino! I saw skating in there but I felt weird because there’s isn’t any reflective ice surface nor it looks like ice. While getting closer, it looks like some sort of plastic and after Googling, I found out it’s a kind of plastic laid with oil. Yeah, plastic! Cool, but weird.

    It’s like being in Macau or somewhere else with resort casino. Shopping, play, eat and gamble all under one roof. This is what Marina Bay Sands is, just without the theme park. Yet, the shopping experience is very cool, ranging from high end designers’ brand to mid-end local brand.

    I found out that it has a mini canal in the mall, just like the Venetian in Macau, providing gondola ride too, but then the canal looks just too modern with the lack of “real” canal look and feel.

    At the outside, I found a very very very cool thing which I think is the best part of my tour that night. There’s a big bowl outside Marina Bay Sands, which is actually a roof for the inner part. It’s semi-sphere bowl with a thick glass material. Now the cool part is when you talk to the center of the bowl, your voice can be heard on the other end. It’s just simply fun and marvelous. Brother and I actually found out this when we were standing by and we heard many voices coming around from the center of the bowl, as i someone was talking to us.

    Lastly, we passed Olympic Walk, to the city centre, back to the MRT station and to somewhere else. Weeee. Don’t like the lifestyle of Singaporean, but like visiting the place. =)

  • 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

  • Walk Walk At Bukit Bintang With Hueisean

    Walk Walk At Bukit Bintang With Hueisean – Sorry if I have been posting many photos/posts about Bukit Bintang, Kuala Lumpur downtown or the city because recently (more to come) I have been to downtown KL quite some times and I have taken many photos which I want to share with all of you. =)


    The glass wall outside the RapidKL KLCC Station ticketing counter.


    Hueisean’s first time at Uniqlo, which is also my favourite Japanese brand.

    It was a Saturday, and I went to town with my dearly Hueisean to walk, to shop, to see, to shoot and to eat. As usual, Kelana Jaya Line Rapid KL LRT was our transportation to town, and of course the wonderful pairs of leg that we all have got.

    She told me that Garrett’s popcorn is good! And have been eating many in Singapore and now it’s here in Malaysia, in KLCC. Gonna check it out when it’s open.

    I’ll take it as an exercise walk in town because I find it quite effective as I believe there’s more than 5KM I have walked on that day, perhaps more.


    Taking photos of Garrett’s Popcorn … store.


    Went to check out Tokyo Street in Pavilion, the new shopping zone in the mall.

    Everytime I go downtown to window shop, it’s always KLCC > Pavilion > Fahrenheit 88 > Sungei Wang > Lowyat Plaza only then go back home. Imagine how far and long I walk to and at this places. It’s tiring yet fun. Though that day only covers a little bit of KLCC, many bit of Pavilion, a little bit of Fahrenheitt 88 and more a bit of Sungei Wang.

     

    Hueisean seldom come to KL, so she doesn’t really familiar the way around and so I was her guide for her shopping day. =D It’s not saying that Penang doesn’t have good mall, it’s that the mall here has more choice and I hope that one day my hometown, Penang’s shopping mall can be on par with the one in Kuala Lumpur. =D Haha. I think Gurney Paragon shopping centre will be awesome.

    Went to check out the new shopping zone in Pavilion which is the Tokyo Street – featuring many Japanese oriented and based shops and restaurants. It’s a very cool and good idea, however there’s no Muji! How can Muji not in Malaysia yet, I am still waiting for Muji for their cool minimalist lifestyle products. Overall, this place is nice, you can get many Japanese snacks and food here.

    Walk walk walk, snap snap snap, see see see, I’ll let the photos of speaks.

    The Click Shop is a very nice camera shop that sells Lomography camera. I really amaze that a blogshop can make it into an outlet at the prestige shopping mall – Pavilion, Kuala Lumpur. The interiors and decorations make it look premium too. Somehow, I am more into vintage camera than lomo camera now.


    Sunset at Bukit Bintang. You are not allow to step or stand or walk on the grass platform. Really lousy.


    Here comes the famous Bukit Bintang cross road.


    The giant LED cube by YES 4G. I prefer having the screen showing like news instead of re-run of YES 4G commercial on it. Though, it’s really very awesome.


    Only now I know that Sungei Wang’s toilet is free. Woohoo. I hate finding RM0.20/RM0.30 coins for toilet. Really ridiculous.

    After touring Sungei Wang Plaza, while walking home, we found something interesting at the Bukit Bintang cross road, in front of the giant LED screen above Maybank. Crowds were standing there, taking photos, smile, and having fun. We were curious and went to check it out.

    I see us on the big big screen. No wonder everyone was standing there to take a look, at themselves. We, too, looked at the screen. It’s actually a promo for the upcoming F&N Big Fun Fest on 24th September 2011 where the area will be turn into a dance party. People will be dancing, and will be shown live on the big big screen. It’s sort of like a flash mob and you can learn the dance on Facebook too and join the fun!

    Untitled

    Then, we went back home. Yeah! What a fun Saturday.
