Back Home, Back To Penang
Home sweet home people. Wherever you are, how great the city is, home always is still the best to me, IMO. I love home, I miss home, I miss my hometown, I miss the people here. This place rocks. I dont know some of you may say how fun Kuala Lumpur is, but to me, speaking frankly, I still haven’t adapt into the place yet. =)
Had a great week in Penang, my hometown and will be back to Kuala Lumpur soon. =) Blogging have been slowing for me, laziness and slowness in Internet connection sucks. I really need to blog more often! Woo.
p/s: Lomography feel photos taken with my Google Nexus One. Nice or not?

At Taylor’s Library Before Going to KLCC Site Visit
It was two weeks ago, on a Wednesday where the Sem 1 July 2010 intake student of Diploma in Interior Design went on a site visit to KLCC. It’s part of the module, Introduction To Design where we get to go on site visit and then take photos and talk about the place eg. architecture, the landscape, the interior design and stuff. Fun.
So before going to KLCC, we spent time in the library after lunch. There’s like 2 hours and we didn’t know what to do and go. Library in Taylor’s University is so nice so we went there. Everyone was like playing with cameras because we were required to photograph stuff at the site visit and later put into a journal.
Zhi Sheng the magician guy in class trying to con Connie with some tricks. =D
Cher Huey.I am starting to hate my Canon 400D. It’s so freaking ugly because I am a very hardcore user and I guess I have reach the limit already. I need a new camera badly, 60D, 3D? Hehe. My feel to photograph stuff has lessen already and I think it will only come back when I get a new camera. Saving and saving!
Anastasia and Nita hiding from the camera. Hehe.I was pretty excited for my first visit because I haven’t been downtown for like two weeks after I came here. I am living somewhere outside town, it’s not as hectic as busy as colourful as town and I love downtown Kuala Lumpur a lot, where there’s many nice shopping malls and shops.
Wanyii, my classmate from Penang. Penang rocks! I miss Penang a lot.
Rasyid looked so tired.That day was also first day of Ramadhan Month, the fasting month. So happy fasting to all the Muslim people.

I Want To Watch Step Up 3D
I love dance movie and Step Up has finally come to the 3rd series and it’s in 3D. I am so excited for the release next week and going to watch it at Tropicana City Mall, anyone want to join me? =D
Step Up 3D is a 2010 American 3D dance film written by Amy Andelson and Emily Meyer and directed by Step Up 2 the Street‘s Jon Chu. The sequel sees the return of Adam Sevani and Alyson Stoner, who portrayed Moose from Step Up 2 the Streets and Camille Gage from Step Up, respectively. (Wikipedia)
Sharing a little bit sypnosis about the movie:
New York’s intense street dancing underground comes alive in eye-popping Digital 3D in the third installment of the STEP UP franchise as the raw, passion-fueled culture goes global. A tight-knit group of street dancers, including Luke (RICK MALAMBRI) and Natalie (SHARNI VINSON), team up with NYU freshman Moose (ADAM SEVANI), and find themselves pitted against the world’s best breakdancers in a high-stakes showdown that will change their lives forever.
Well you know I like New York and this movie is again set in New York and I get to see my dream city in the movie, somemore lots of nice music and dances. The only problem of me is that I like to see people dance but I couldn’t dance. Didn’t have to confidence to learn how to dance. So you think you can dance? I cannot. Haha. Anyway, I am just feeling excited about this movie so just sharing the trailer with you guys.

Anyway, I get free tickets to the movie this Wednesday at Tropicana City Mall, Golden Screen Cinema, courtesy of Xiangcool.com and Advertlets.com. Thank you the very much! =D

Walk Walk At Empire Shopping Gallery, Subang Jaya
After coming to Petaling Jaya/Kuala Lumpur here, I didn’t really have time to move around the city or around where I live to check out the places. I have been like not at here for the past weekends and it’s pretty hard to move around without a car. KTM and LRT station is far, the problem is going there. I haven’t tried taking the public bus, Rapid KL yet, wonder is it the same like my Penang’s Rapid Penang or not. I like to take the public bus in Penang because the bus stand was just right in front of my house and the buses come like very frequently, I am not sure about here.
So last week, after class, my lovely housemate, Ju Siong from Ipoh drove us around to buy stuff. We wanted to go to Sunway Pyramid and to the laundry but without any reason, we went to Empire Shopping Gallery which is somewhere new to walk and check it out.
The shopping mall is pretty new and there’s still many shop haven’t open yet. Located near to Subang Parade and I don’t know want how to describe the location, it’s small but it’s cool. There’s many nice shops selling not very low price stuffs. Although I hardly afford stuffs at there but I feel like walking at there because of the new-ness and not very crowded. I like malls that are not super crowded like Mid Valley Megamall or Sunway Pyramid in the weekend. It’s an ocean of people during weekend at there. Big city, WOW.
Went to check out the toilet of course. Haha. A good toilet is not all about the design, it’s about the cleaniness and the available of tissue at the WC area. =D LOL. Do you realise that Malaysian’s toilet doesn’t like to give people tissue paper? Sucks right.
I found Material, a Muji-copycat at there too. This store is so much smaller compare to the one in Queenbay Mall, Penang though.
Walked around the whole mall, nothing much to see, no cinema and we went into pet shop to see dogs. Haha. I realised that in Penang, there’s no pet shop in the shopping mall but they do have here. Cool. Can see dogs and puppys, but no pet snake.
After seeing dogs, taking photos of the cute little dog, we waited Han Tek, housemate from Penang, to do his haircut at those RM13 quickcut shop and I want to tell you something, the quickcut was so not quick. Luckily I had my haircut in Penang. Woo.
Small mall but cool place. Hopefully there’s a cinema!

Orientation Day and First Day in Taylor’s University College, Lakeside Campus
Oh my god. I have been away for so long. Don’t know why lately have been so lazy on the blogging job. Always slacking in my comfy hostel room or just hang out around the university. Life here is kinda fun, but I do miss home occasionally.
I haven’t been online like I do so consistence at home last time because Internet at my hostel is still not ready yet, I am on the DiGi 3G Broadband and it always DC and another thing is I can’t online 24/7 because of the capped and saving electricity bill. Somemore, I have homework and assignment already, don’t have many time to spend in front of the computer like before during the holidays. >.< Now I know why my friend seldom online when they went to college. Haha.
Taylor’s University College had an orientation for Julu 2010 intake students 2 weeks ago. It’s for everyone that’s studying in Lakeside Campus and basically there’s many courses available at the Lakeside Campus except Pre-U studies. The reason I pick this university is because it’s new and beautiful. =D I like studying in a place that look like a school than an office building.
It’s not really start of school yet but it’s an orientation to let you know what’s around the school and I was pretty excited for it because get to meet new people and back to school after the long 7 months holiday of mine. A little bit nervous also, because I knew no one at there. I have no friend of my age from Penang with me at there. Though I did meet people afterall.
Thanks to Leo Club, I knew Victor, a senior of mine in Leo Club and also during my high school. He also July intake student but on a different course. Then I knew who to mix with on first day. Oh yeah, luckily I was not alone. Rocks.
There’s like thousands of student. Business course have the longest queue which I think they have many students as for me in The Design School, there’s not super many but at least there still around 30 students in my course. At least it’s not less than 10. Haha.
It’s the boring talk about what the school have, what are the dos and don’ts, welcoming speech and blablabla. Didn’t really enjoy it as I was like keeping my hands busy on the phone. One thing, the hall was so damn cold and we spent like 3 hours in the hall. Hungry in the morning!
After the hall thing, we have our little own orientation. The Design School is under the Division of Engineering, Architecture, Building and Design. =D
It’s the same thing again, but not so boring talk by the Dean. At this place, I have to separate with Victor them already and at here I was by my own. Know nobody. But still, it’s fun.
After all the talk have done, it’s the admin work already. I have to go to collect stuff like t-shirt and take photos for student ID. The queue for this stuff was like so long and we have to wait for like an hour to get me in front of the line.
Victor, me and Yi Xiang. =D
After that just we just roam around the school, went to change password for the school portal thing and nothing much for the first day. Pretty free. Thanks

Walkaround Kuala Lumpur Before College Started
Hello people, I am taking Diploma In Interior Design at Taylor’s University College, Lakeside Campus. Orientation is this week and class will officially starts on next Monday. I came last Friday to check in to my hostel which is pretty cool place located right in the campus. Small room but quite comfy. Will show you about it next time. I’ll talk about what I did here on last weekend which I spent it here with my family.
We spent 3 days going here and there and I went quite a lot of places. I’ll name some of the places I went, Pavilion, Lot 10, Sungei Wang, Low Yat Plaza, Corus Hotel, Carrefour Subang Jaya, Sunway Pyramid, Taylor’s University College, Jalan Alor, Mid Valley City, and basically that’s all the places I went. Haha.
Road to Taylor’s University College.Dad drove us down. We started our journey at about 10am in Penang and reached like at 3pm. First place to go was my school, Taylor’s University College to do the check-in stuff and move all my electronics, gadgets and stuff into my hostel room. Only then I went to buy some personal stuff at Carrefour, Subang Jaya.
Waited quite long at the school and actually I was not allow to check in on that day because Friday was for International Student only. But then what’s the problem for local student? I called and asked and the person told me I could check in on that day and no saying on anything related to International Student, anyhow, I manage to convince the person to let me check in. I can’t leave there without checking in because I just have too many stuff in the car boot.
After settle everything at Subang area, we went to check in our hotel at Corus Hotel, Jalan Ampang. An incident happened and that was our booking made online was canceled because we came to check in late. Internet price was not entitled and we have to paid for walk-in price, worst is that our booking made surcharged us for one night room charge as if we canceled our booking because late check-in. Not yet finish rambling, we were given a room on the smoking floor. Sucks. Bad luck har?
Still continue, during our stay in the midnight, the aircon broke down for like 2 hours, the heat woke us up in the middle of the night and we had to call the hotel man to come and repair it. He screw and unscrew some stuff only then it started working again. Bad staying experience and after some complain made at the reception during check out, we get refund and extra free night for other time. Rocks. Haha.
Going back to what happened after checkin into hotel, we went to fetch my brother at Times Square and then went for supper. The KL City is really a place that’s very happening at night. Traffic jam happened in the middle of the night like at 1am. Looking for parking around Jalan Alor was pretty difficult. We did find a space though. Why Jalan Alor? It’s because we didn’t know other place that has food at midnight. Any idea or recommendation?
Another thing is that the arrival of my brother in Kuala Lumpur was also the arrival of my mighty Apple iPad. He bought it on the launch date which is that afternoon, and delivered to Kuala Lumpur to my hands. =D
Red Lens!
Branded camera bag!Brother also brought his camera gear and right now he’s pretty a photog freak and he has a better gear than me!
Since we had an unpleasant stay, second day, check out! And move to other hotel. KL hotel is getting more and more expensive. Good hotel all starts from at least RM275. Hard to find cheaper than that already.
It’s still early after checkout of hotel and we went to Pavilion at Bukit Bintang for shopping. It’s a better place to shop when compare to KLCC, more spacious, more shops, colder AC, cleaner, and newer. Haha. But stuff at there are expensive. I bought something at there though. XD
I was walking around with brother. Dad was with mom. We were separated into our own groups. We more like to look at gadget and was looking for case for iPad. Went to all the Apple shop around this area and eventually, we went to Lot 10, Sungei Wang and Lowyat Plaza but found nothing. Went back to Epicenter at Pavilion to buy the iPad case. Not cheap!
You know what. Epicentre is also where my iPad was from, not Kuala Lumpur’s outlet but was the outlet in ION@Orchard. Rocks.
After Pavilion, we then went to checkin to another hotel at Mid Valley, Boulevard and that’s a better one, but the price was not nice. Haha. RM3hundred something. I’ve forgotten. Didn’t take much photo at Mid Valley and I bought nothing there. No idea why I have no shopping feel or I am broke. =( Mom bought those comforter and bed stuff for me at there.
One thing, Mid Valley is crazy on the weekend. Jam at the carpark, round the mall and people jam in the mall! Super duper crowded and feel not nice to walk. Gurney Plaza in Penang is better? Hahaha. Bye bye.
By the way, I am blogging from the Mac room in my school’s library. There’s like 25 27″ iMac in this room and they rocks! Internet speed is freaking fast too, just sad that cannot PPS or P2P.

Day Out With Felix and Friends
Here’s a day out with Felix, who is a 11 years old boy, and brother of Arron, my good friend. =D Few weeks back in Penang, I went to Queensbay Mall to meet up with Chen Yuen who came back from Kampar and many people. It’s had been a few months I didn’t see them already, many went to Kampar for studies. Soon I will be like that also because I am now in Kuala Lumpur!
So that day, afternoon I drove to Queensbay Mall. I went there to join them for movie, Despicable Me which is a very cute and funny cartoon and highly recommended if you haven’t watch. I didn’t think of going to the KTV and I was there early before the movie and some friends were in the KTV, so I went to visit them at Neway. My first time and last time of going to Neway Karaoke before I moved to Kuala Lumpur. Woo.
After movie, we just went walking around the mall as we have nothing much to do.
Yiphing and me.
With Boo Teik and Chien Chern, they are the “animals”.
Arron Lim’s brother, Felix.
Ammerlynn, Chen Yuen and me.
Sher Reen and me.
Boon Hooi, studying at UTAR, Kampar too!I am wondering, how are you guys back there? Are you guys doing good? I am miss home badly. Sucks man.

I am in Taylor’s University College Library 24/7 Study Area
Hi guys, it had been quite a long break for me for blogging. Frankly, I was lazy on blogging, busy spending the last few weeks of holidays with friends and family in Penang and finally I am back to school. My 7 months long holiday had finally come to an end and it’s time to get my lazy butt off the chair. Less playing around and more work for me.
It’s not easy for me to get back to school and read because my brain has been suspended for 7 months, had not written much too. But one thing is still very good and that’s my finger and mouth. Everyday type and talk. Haha.
At this moment, my current location is in Taylor’s University College, Petaling Jaya, Selangor. I am no longer in Penang because I am now in college, attending Diploma in Interior Design here and at here, it started my new chapter of life, college campus life. Living inside the university is fun but going around the area is not easy because public transport and taxi here sucks to the max.
Wondering why I am at the library study area now? My hostel have no Internet access at the moment, it’s super new and no Internet sucks so I had to come here to online. Actually I did sign up a wireless broadband for myself temporary because sometimes I am lazy to go out of the room and want to watch Internet TV. I am here actually to accompany my housemate who don’t have Internet access to go online.
Internet speed here is pretty fast but sucks that I can’t watch online TV or do some P2P download. Sigh. It’s very crowded right here, very noisy and I believe all of them are craving for the Internet. I have a lot to share but the photos are in my camera. I promise I’ll be updating more and more soon.
Any Taylorian out there? =)
