  • Walk Around Bukit Bintang and Uniqlo on an Early Friday Morning

    Walk Around Bukit Bintang and Uniqlo on an Early Friday Morning

    Last Friday, I went to town alone early in the morning to send my dropped-super-damaged-Tamron-lens to the service centre (Futoromic) at Berjaya Times Square. I didn’t want to go back to Penang to send back to the original shop that I bought my lens because they will eventually send to KL again. Since I am in KL right now so I might as well send in directly to the service centre.

    So what happened to my lens? I dropped to the ground from my height and cannot focus, cannot turn, and got crack. Haha. They called and the fixing charges is around RM450. Still better than getting a new lens. =) Now is waiting to go collect my lens.

    Haven’t been to Times Square for quite some time. It’s not really a good shopping mall. Selling stuff like Sungei Wang or Prangin Mall in Penang. The indoor theme park is still on, heard a little bit of scream but doesn’t fancy me anymore because I have been in there when it was first opened many years back.

    After sending the stuff to service. It was still early and it’s like only 11 in the morning. I decided not to go back so early but go check out the newly open Uniqlo at Fahrenheit 88. People have been talking about it for the past few weeks. Heard that there were super duper long queue during opening. What for?

    There’s a new broadband/mobile network in town, using the 4G spectrum and it’s YES by YTL. Finally a rival to P1. They have put up a large LED cube at Bukit Bintang, outside Lot10 and I tell it’s really very cool. It’s to promote their broadband. But somehow, IMO, I still prefer a cable/copperline Internet because wireless Internet is never as stable as a cable one. Wireless broadband is only an alternative to those who couldn’t get cable to their home.

    Did you sign up for YES?

    A little bit of walk, from Berjaya Times Square, I reached Uniqlo.

    There’s promotion on jeans and t-shirt. RM50 for jeans and RM30 for t-shirt which are quite cheap. I didn’t want to buy the jeans because I am going for more like Skiny or Slim-cut. It’s more fitting. Though, I bought t-shirts at there! Hehe. Do you know that the Kuala Lumpur’s Uniqlo is the largest currently outside Japan? It has 3 floors. =) From Wikipedia one.

    After shopping, finally willing to go back already. I am having final exam now. Good luck to me and also to all those who are having exam right now, especially my junior who are taking SPM.

  • First Day To Watch 3D At W Cinemax At Island Plaza

    First Day To Watch 3D At W Cinemax At Island Plaza

    Hohoho, Penang island now have a new cineplex at Island Plaza, which add into the family of Golden Screen Cinema at Gurney Plaza and Queensbay Mall, Cathay Cineplex at Prangin Mall and soon to open Tanjung Golden Village at First Avenue.

    Last time, there’s actually a Mega Pavilion cineplex at Island Plaza but closed down after few years and few years later, the cinema business at there is back and I have a new place to go.

    What’s so special about this W Cinemax is that it shows 3D movie mostly and only one or two normal film.

    So I came back last Thursday, it’s officially opened on Thursday 4/11/2010 and you know I like new stuff and just nice that I was back home, I went there with my girlfriend to catch up a old 3D film, The Child Eye.

    There are only 3 cinema hall and very cute thing is they named it as X, Y, Z instead of the 1, 2, 3, 4. Since it’s promotion, the ticket is only RM10 and it’s very cheap for a 3D film when compare to GSC or TGV. I have no idea what’s the original ticket rate though, hopefully it’s cheap.


    Hueisean. =)

    W, X, Y, Z! =D Have you been there already?

  • Last Day Of Semester 1 in Diploma In Interior Design

    Last Day Of Semester 1 in Diploma In Interior Design

    Time flies people, so fast my semester one of my study is coming to an end already. This week is week 14 which is the last study week but I only went to one day of class which is on the Tuesday to attend CK’s Building Materials class. I skipped other classes and some classes are already off and what I have to do now is to rush my assignments, lots of it and prepare two exam papers which is coming in two weeks time.

    Finally, after so much of drawing and hands-on stuff, I can get myself into a study mood, memorize, writing, like what I did during high school. Hands-on and drawing is actually harder than exam to me because I am kinda bad in art stuff. Hehe. So this two weeks, I’ll just stuck inside my hostel and campus, just to get things done, hopefully there will not much white hair pops out of my head and stuff.

    I went back to Penang last week for Deepavali, holiday not celebration and came back on Monday, then I only attended class on Tuesday. Then that’s all. Work time all the time. So went to take a photos with CK, my lecturer, somehow I still have to meet him in the next semester and more work from him. OMG.

    Have been going to the divisional office quite many times lately, mainly to ask about holidays, and academic calendar stuff. Haha. One really crazy thing that I found out is that my next semester starts somewhere March next year.

    Woo. I have 3 months holiday. Really crazy. Haha. According to the staff, my program is now follow the academic calendar of Australian education system where it is summer holiday now. But then after that I have to study for 7 months straight until end of year. Not bad too. So I have a lot of free time do many stuff, I gonna work! MONEY. Hehe.

    On the other post, I gonna tell you something about Taylor’s Residence or the hostel right inside the campus of Taylor’s University which I am residing in. I am very not satisfy with the staying here and I going to move out soon! Hehe.

    A single super small room at Taylor’s Residence is RM760 and the rental rate is going to increase soon. Truly not recommended. =) I want to look for somewhere with apartment facilities but then it’s gonna be next year since I have a long holiday.

    Afternoon of Tuesday, I went to my friend’s place to check out his magic trick. Really pro. Haha. Good morning by the way.

  • Breakfast at Dome Cafe, KLCC

    Breakfast at Dome Cafe, KLCC

    Dad brought me to DOME for breakfast at KLCC last weekend. We were actually wanted to go to Mandarin Oriental Hotel for dim sum breakfast but then the restaurant wasn’t open that day. So went to walk around Suria KLCC to look for breakfast and we found DOME.

    Food price at Dome Cafe would be rather expensive but we had no choice but to breakfast in there because mom and dad are not a fast food person. I ordered myself a cup of hot chocolate. Expensive stuff comes with a nice chocolate presentation on a nice Dome cup.

    Ta-daa. Here is my Chicken Ham and Eggs on Toast. The egg, the ham is awesome and also the sauce too. Just that, I wonder why English’s croissant is so hard to bite.

  • Tutti Frutti Frozen Yogurt at Island Plaza

    Tutti Frutti Frozen Yogurt at Island Plaza

    More and more franchise is coming to Penang, just like recently the Burger King at Lebuh Sungai Pinang and now Tutti Frutti Frozen Yogurt which is very common here in Kuala Lumpur is now in Penang, opening its first outlet at Island Plaza.

    Although I am now residing in Kuala Lumpur, but I didn’t really bother to visit it only when I was back to Penang last week, I brought my girlfriend, Hueisean to Tutti Frutti at Island Plaza to try out the yogurt after our movie at the new W Cinemax.

    This is something pretty cool. It’s actually self-serviced cold yogurt of different flavours. You pick your favourite flavours, bit by bit, add in some topping like nuts, cereals, chocolate and candy then the price is according to the weight. Not cheap IMO. Mine was like RM12.30 with 3 yogurt, Apple, Strawberry and Vanilla.

    Perhaps this is more healthy, but somehow I prefer gelato ice cream more. =D

  • Discussion Room and Random Stuffs at Taylor’s University

    Discussion Room and Random Stuffs at Taylor’s University

    Feel like sharing photos tonight so it’s some quite random stuff here. Pictures speak now and a little bit of caption. By the way, semester one is coming to an end and I have so many assignment due dates coming. OMG, sleepless and stressful night coming to me and Happy Halloween. =D

    Really hardworking doing discussion and ignore the face at the back.

    Keep on ignore the hands at the back. LOL.

    o.O MacBook Pro!

    Taylor’s recently opens a new bakery, Bread Story at the commercial block. One problem is the air con in the shop is too cold and the bread get cold lately. Hmm. I hope Rotiboy will come here. =D

    Finally, a bookstore will be opening soon in campus but unfortunately, then name so EMO.

     

    Volkswagen Polo Rocks event in campus. The really very happy, having the event by the road, open air. Luckily it’s not hot.

  • PLKN Experience: Buddhist Class

    PLKN Experience: Buddhist Class

    Don’t bother about random post but I just found out that I have many things about my NS that happened in March to May this year that I haven’t post up. So I know that many junior have been chosen for the national service a.k.a. PLKN and here you found a good place to know the truth and life about it in there.

    Every NS trainee have to go for spiritual class to learn more about your religion. I am a Buddhist, so I attended the Buddhist class every Thursday and Friday night. There’s teacher came from Buddhist society to our camp at night and give us speech and teachings.

    Friday class.

    On Thursday night, we learn about Buddhism, on Friday night, we learn about Di Zi Gui and how to live happily. It’s quite fun and you know it’s actually the funnest night of all week where it’s not very hot, but wearing the uniform or call pakaian 2 still hot a bit and it’s all Chinese there where we can communicate in Chinese, easily and happily. =D


    Thursday class.

    They actually have English class but majority is Mandarin speaking so there’s only like 8 went to the Chinese class. This is the time we makes fun together and talk. And we have too many Chinese around 200 in the camp so our class is again divided into small group instead following our own squadron.


    Khang, Chuen, me, Weng and Comel. =D

    Another thing is on Saturday, we go to Chinese temple to pray which I will talk about it another time. =D Christian will go to church whereas the Hindu will go to Hindu temple. So NS is not all about physical training and stuff. It also try to train your mental.

    Miss the days back in the camp. Hmm. :X

  • Building Materials Class Visit To Ikano Power Centre and Ikea

    Building Materials Class Visit To Ikano Power Centre and Ikea


    Siao lalas.

    My lecturer, Mr CK Foo loves to call Ikano Power Centre as Ikeano, it’s the combination of Ikano and Ikea. Really funny of him. So somewhere last month, we went to visit to Ikeano, no it’s Ikano for a study research trip. Our task was, shopping which was one of it and another one was look for a space and examine the building material. Sounds fun right? Not really.

    It’s a group work thingy and I found my group member and they were Arvin, Anastasia, Nita and Wanyi. Unfortunately, Wanyi couldn’t join us that day.


    Zhi Sheng.

    What we actually did at there is just walk walk, shoot shoot, touch touch the floor, the wall, the ceiling and wait the security come and chase us away. Yes, we did get the security come and chase us away when we were taking photographs at the bridge, they just don’t bother us as students from college. I have no idea why photograph are not allow. Not interested in planning a bomb also, even if I do, I just drop it anywhere without planning, BOMB.


    Arvin and Anna. =D


    Anastasia and Nita.

    We were given 4 hours there but we already finished our stuff in an hour time. So we spent another hour eating and an hour talking and another hour walking around a.k.a. shopping.


    Connie.


    Damn ugly doll.


    Kevin.

    Ikea, Ikano, The Curve was so so so quiet during the weekdays. The one who make it happenings was like us.


    Steve.


    Zhi Sheng and Aseel.

    =D

  • Avira Anti Virus Software Launching at G City Club Hotel

    Avira Anti Virus Software Launching at G City Club Hotel

    Thanks to smashpOp, I got invited to Avira Anti Virus software launching at G City Club Hotel last weekend. It was my first time to attend event in Kuala Lumpur after I came here. Finally, I can check out something cool with everyone.

    P1010723

    G City Club Hotel is somewhere on Jalan Tun Razak near to Ampang Park LRT station. I drove there because before that I went to check out something at Lowyat and Sungei Wang. Damn, I was stuck on Federal Highway in the afternoon for 1 hour and it really sucks. A lorry broke down. After that, everything went smoothly.

    Back to G City Club Hotel and the Avira thingy, this thing was fun and was held at a hotel that I have never heard before. My KL friend told me that this hotel is new. The event was in The Bridge Bar, on the highest floor of the hotel and it’s a lounge slash pub. A really very cool place and I was so glad that I invited to this special event at such a special place.


    Yamamoto from Avira. Really yeng.
