  • Bukit Melawati At Kuala Selangor

    Bukit Melawati At Kuala Selangor


    #1: On the tram.

    Bukit Melawati At Kuala Selangor – Hello people, I am back, I am back, I am finally back to blogging! Let’s get into the main topic of the day, 2 weeks ago, I went to a field trip to Kuala Selangor with my Diploma In Interior Design semester 3 classmate as well as my lecturer Miss Sofia. Well, I have been to Kuala Selangor before, the fishing village there but I have never been up to Bukit Melawati, the main attraction of the little country side town.


    #2: On the tram, still, going up to Bukit Melawati.

    Kuala Selangor is a quiet and peaceful town 45 minutes away from the hustle and bustle city life of Kuala Lumpur. What’s famous here are seafood, Bukit Melawati, fireflies seeing, as well as the Kuala Selangor Nature Park (which I think kinda sucks).


    #3: Lighthouse on top.


    #4: Monkey and the lighthouse.


    #5: Monkey!!!


    #6: Monkey!!!!!!!!!! Black.

    We took a tram that took us from Kuala Selangor Nature Park up to the Bukit Melawati. The mini hill top is not very high, but yet it gives a spectacular view at the Malacca Straits and the special thing up there are the lighthouse and the monkeys! Yes, I mentioned about monkey.


    #7: Nice view with Malacca Straits at far end.


    #8: Zhi Sheng!


    #9: The blogger me.


    #10: Ken, Wesley, me and Steve.


    #11: Wesley acting cool.

    Upon arrival at the top, you will see many monkey wandering around the place, waiting tourist to feed them the monkey food that can be bought at RM1 at there. The monkey food basically is the Chinese Long Bean.


    #12: Monkeys acting cool.


    #13: The people.

    Surprisingly, monkey at there looks different from the one in Botanical Garden, Penang which the monkeys there have black hair and are not aggressive. They won’t snatch or attack you for food.


    #14: My lecturer. Haha.


    #15: Junior.


    #16: Zetty and Ana on the right.


    #17: Rashid.


    #18: MONKEYYYYY!!!

    We spent some time up there enjoying the windy breeze and fooling around with the monkey. The place is quite nice. =D

  • My Experience In Saturday In Design Singapore

    My Experience In Saturday In Design Singapore

    My Experience In Saturday In Design Singapore – In May this year of 2011, I and part of my class of Diploma In Interior Design friends, as well as my lecturer Mr CK Foo all together visited a design event in Singapore called the Saturday In Design, Singapore.

    Originally this event is a yearly event in the Australia where designer’s furniture shop, product designs and design studios open up their place to design lovers to visit, communicate, interact and enjoy the design, but it came to Singapore for the first time and we were pretty excited


    Chair at Morroso.

    What we have visited was mainly furniture shops. These furniture are not typical house furniture but they are premium, expensive, branded and are designed by well-known product and furniture designers all around the world.

    All the station (shops and studio) located at different zone, spread out in the city of Singapore. We have our Malaysia bus who ferry us around different station. There were also van to bring you around if you are in a group or if you are in a person or two, you get a luck to be drove around by Mercedez car which is actually their main sponsors for the shuttle service around the stations.

    It’s really an eye opening trip which most of the brands were quite new to me and I was really inspired by some of the designs. I also saw that the price for those designer’s products is pretty expensive too.

    Nice shop houses! Really very colourful and nice. I hope Penang’s can be like this.


    Connie, Wanyi, Nita and Mellysa.


    We got free Instax too!

    We actually started our tour and visits at about 11am and ended the whole thing at 5pm because we were rushing back to Malaysia that night. Despite being 6 hours in Singapore, we couldn’t cover all of the stations, we left about 2 which we did not able to visit.

    We were in fact rushing from station to station with time. We did not have a proper lunch but then our stomach was satisfied and filled with excitement and pleasantly delicious snacks and light food which were served by almost all of the stations. They were mainly Western cocktails style snacks and light meals which were pretty good in mouth and also did a good job for preventing my stomach from growling.


    Awesome office which I like!


    Nice big red chair!


    I signed my name there too!


    Innovative, a good way to place your chopstick.


    Food was just so awesome which makes us wanted more and more.


    Checking out a cool office design.


    Shanghai is written!


    Nice cut out of brown boxes cardboard art featuring the Statue of Liberty.


    I believe this is somewhere in Chinatown.

    Well, would probably visit again in the next event, and if there’s an opportunity for me, I would like to visit the actual one in Australia. =D

  • Site Visit to KLCC

    Site Visit to KLCC

    I don’t know should I categorize my school life as college life or university life because my school, recently upgraded their status from Taylor’s University College to Taylor’s University. Though, I am only taking Diploma courses in this private university. Haha. Pretending to be a real university student.

    Hi, by the way. I am back again. Stupid Taylor’s Residence promised Internet will be ready by September but it’s already October and it’s still not ready. Really bad service I tell you guys.

    One of my subject is Introduction to Design. I don’t know want how to tell you about what is it about but then part or classes will be outside and we called it site visit, something like a field trip, going to the places to take some photograph, do some sketches, look around and play. =D

    Our first site visit was to KLCC or also known as the Petronas Twin Towers. Part of the photos here you see will also be seen in my Journal for the subject. =D


    Everyone was like so excited.

    Everyone knows about this places but wondering why we still need to go to check out KLCC right? Actually we were researching about the architect behind the towers and the park and now I know, Ceasar Pelli designed the towers and Roberto Burle Marx designed the KLCC park. Haha.


    MJ from Iran. Our class rep giving instruction.


    Hello everyone.


    Arvin from Medan, Indonesia.


    Wanyi, friend from the same hometown, Penang.


    Connie from Sandakan, Sabah.


    Aseel from Palestine, resides in Saudi Arabia, so basically she’s from Saudi Arabia but born in Palestine.

    We were given only an hour time to take as many photos about the building and the area as much as we can. I was thinking about buying Rotiboy this and that but the time for taking photograph was like so not sufficient. The weather was so hot and I sweated a lot although it’s not sunny. The atmosphere was just, warm.


    Anastasia from Belarus, and Nita from Indonesia. Many international students in my class. Rocks.

    In and out. Unfortunately there’s no blue sky and it’s pretty difficult to look for blue sky to take photos with the KLCC in the middle of a concrete city in a tropical hot country.

    Beautiful, wonderful, bombastic. Good morning. Haha.
