  • Visit To Point 92, Damansara Perdana

    Visit To Point 92, Damansara Perdana

    Visit To Point 92, Damansara Perdana – It was a site visit organized by Project Management lecturer – Ms Annette. Point 92 is a very cool building located at a new suburban township – Damansara Perdana and most of the buildings at there are still under-construction.

    This Point 92 has a very cool exterior features, interesting arranged windows and a large void space at the center.

    Unfortunately, it was not a nice visit, instead it was just plain chit-chatting, walking around the lobby, and even shouted by some lansi contractor at there ‘tak boleh! tak boleh! tak boleh’. He was shouting to us cause he thought we were going to take photos. At that time, lecturer has not arrived yet and he has no idea why we were there. Afterall, we were actually allowed to snap around. So why there’s nothing much to see?

    Cause what’s cool is the exterior, the interior is only the lobby part only. Then that’s all. We were supposed to go to the void space – the balcony to check it out but then person-in-charge was busy, so… it’s bye bye!

    By the way, I believe that Damansara Perdana will be very beautiful when all of the buildings are completed. It’s so cool leh! If you’ve got nothing to do, go there and see see then you will know what I mean.

  • 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.

    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

  • Zhi Inn’s 20th Birthday At Fullhouse, Sunway Pyramid

    Zhi Inn’s 20th Birthday At Fullhouse, Sunway Pyramid

    I wanna talk about birthday this time. =) Few weeks ago, we, the Diploma In Interior Design, Sem 2 people celebrated Zhi Inn’s birthday together at Fullhouse, Sunway Pyramid. If you do not know, Fullhouse is a lifestyle restaurant + boutique, which is beautiful in the inside but food-wise, OKOK. Not gonna talk about food this time because I didn’t eat at there. Hehe.

    They was planning to ask Zhi Inn out for lunch, just a casual gathering lunch and not mentioning anything about birthday as her birthday was 5 more days ahead. They planned a surprise, but no surprise. Haha. Why no surprise? It’s because she already saw the cake we passed to the waiter! Yet, it’s still fun.

    It was a weekday and we do have class but our class was in the afternoon so we spent some times talking and taking photos at there. Woo. No food for me because money not enough. XD


    Cup cakes are here!

    It’s a pretty good idea of having cup cakes as birthday cake becauseno need to cut the cake and each people is allocate nicely with the cakes. =) To be honest, it’s my first time eating cup cakes and it’s awesome.

    Tada! Happy birthday! When everyone was there, Wanyi, a friend keep WhatsApp me and ask me to call the waiter to bring in the cake, but quietly and secretly, but the scene of WhatsApp-ing here and there although on the same table and me walking to the waiter looks suspicious. And Zhi Inn saw the cake’s box and in the end failed, which means, didn’t even need to tell me secretly at first. Haha.

    We bought cards and gift. Yeah. Even when writting the card on the message also need to be secretly, but somehow, secretly became obviously. Haha.

    The girls and boys. A bunch of future interior designers. =D

  • Some Old Photos At Taylor’s Hostel

    Some Old Photos At Taylor’s Hostel


    Me. HAHAHA. V.

    Dug up some old photos in my archive which I think I haven’t post it up here on my blog. I am back to Kuala Lumpur, Petaling Jaya, Bandar Sunway or whichever name you comfortable with. Haha. But then I am not staying in Taylor’s Hostel / Taylor’s Residence already because they suck, staying slightly further out of campus, about like 1KM away. =)


    My housemate last time, Moh Wei Ding. Long time no contact already.


    Stupid expensive lousy in-campus hostel.


    Stupid security system where they want each resident close the door and scan the card one by one. Sucks. Might as well replace with some gate instead of fire door.

     

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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

  • At Taylor’s Library Before Going to KLCC Site Visit

    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.

  • Orientation Day and First Day in Taylor’s University College, Lakeside Campus

    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

    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.
