DETA – Dulux Emerging Talent Award @ KBU College

DETA – Dulux Emerging Talent Award 2012 @ KBU College – Only 4 person from my class, another 6 from the degree’s class and 5 of my senior went to the Dulux Emerging Talent Award on last Saturday. It was supposed to be more than that, in fact my lecturer invited everyone to go but all of them were lazy and has no passion of it. I told myself, since it’s my final year in Taylor’s University, so why not? Just go for fun, get some inspiration, experience, foster friendship and play.

Funny that the lecturer actually booked 2 bus but ended only 10 boarded the bus. Haha. So sad for them.

It was a competition for interior design student held at KBU College and 3 winners get to go to Amsterdam and some other part of Europe for free! Cool right? But it’s not for me as I am not that good, yet. HAHA. There’s more than 10 school participated in this little competition and it’s pretty happenings at there.

So basically, the competition was about designing a space concept for different type of space – Restaurant, Office, Gallery. Each of us were divided into 3 different team and each team get their own type of space. I’ve got office design. We were given a paper box and some paint colour as well as some recycling material, then we have to produce a conceptual design through all the material.

Well, I kinda suck at it, blur at first then came up with a childish stuff in the end. Admit that I was blur and stucked. Haha. However, looking at other’s creative work, it gives me an energy to search for creativity and study on creativity. Yeah! My school has a few person got into final, but then didn’t make it for the grand prize.

The college has notice board for Club and Society. It feels so ‘high school’ to me! =D

Me, Henry, Connie and Wei Shi.

Hanan, Aida, Rasyid and Me! =D

Anyway, it was a fun day, realised that I am not creative, got free food, know my friend from other class more and I told myself to strive hard to look for creativity.

Goose Lays Egg At Taylor’s University & Tortoise By The Lake

Goose Lays Egg At Taylor’s University & Tortoise By The Lake – Found some cool animal at the school’s lake today, I see many big size tortoise, swimming by the shore. This reminds me about rearing a tortoise when I was small. I wonder who put in the tortoise into the lake of Taylor’s. I bet they swim and eat LIKE A BOSS at there since people often throw food into the lake.

It’s gonna grow even bigger soon!

Another super cool and funny thing I found today is that the goose at the lake laid an egg! I wonder who it mate with. HAHA. OK, that’s not the point. We saw the goose sitting on her egg, waiting it to be hatched. So cool right? But the thing is…. the goose was not sitting on her egg, she’s sitting on a tennis ball!

Instead, we found the real egg at the other bushes. I was thinking, was the goose forgotten about her egg’s location, or someone was trying to trick the goose. Really special and funny. She had been sitting there for a few days, according to my friend. Hmmm.

Taylor’s University Roof Top

View From Taylor’s University Roof Top – Few days ago, I went around campus to explore fire protection system thingy and this leaded me and my group to the roof top. =D It’s not dangerous, there’s a lot of air con machinery at there but that’s not the main point, main thing is we were at the roof!

Well, the view from the roof top is not really awesome, nothing cool to see. No beautiful sea view or city view.

Yeah.

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!

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.

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.

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

What a nice sky and sun.

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

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.

A Monday In Taylor’s University and Street Market

Here’s another update about my university life. My typical Monday’s class is English class from 10-12 and Introduction to Design class from 1-3.

It’s all 2 hours class and I pretty dislike English class because it made me feel like going back to high school. Not saying that I hate high school, I love it a lot, it just that I don’t like going to English lesson again. Haha. Ok, my English sucks by the way, especially on the grammar part and word usage. Anyway, I can read and write. =)

Uni is pretty happenings this week as there’s something like street market, selling cloths, food, game stall and stuff. I have no idea what even has going on and we just keep calling it the “pasar pagi” or morning market.

Kebab!

I saw a booth where there’s many replica made out of recyclable item like newspaper and stuff. It seems very cool and I thought they were selling it.

But actually it’s some sort of model search, or they call it as G&H Faces Search. Free photo taking with any frame there and get a free print and magazine of Faces. Then you will be part of the search. =D

Mine, Zhiinn’s and Lai Quen’s. =D

I was not really interested in the search, but what I more interested was getting the free print of my photo. Haha. That’s all.

Wesley from Seremban, Steve from Pahang. I call them Shuai Shuai. Haha.

Then I went to Student Life Centre, a place where students hang out or relax, there’s board game there, piano, pool, guitar, foosball, and I played Chinese chess with Wesley and Steve. Haven’t play it for quite some times already. Fun indeed!
