    Racing Against Time To Complete College Projects & Random Updates

    Watching TVB and designing at the same time.


    Racing Against Time To Complete College Projects & Random Updates – A little bit update about myself is that I am now racing against time because the end of semester is coming, which means that it’s final exam, final presentation, final project submissions and dues for many assignments. It’s pretty exciting for me because I am like sleeping less and less, trying to squeeze out as much extra time as possible to for me to complete in time.

    New IKEA chair – Fingal.

    Some friend complained about ‘stress-lah’, stress this and that. Hmm. At this moment, I still feel nothing about it, still very OK with my work. Stress is something that force you to do something you don’t like, and that’s stress. So, enjoy you work, play with the time, accept a little of the dislike and soon it will be over.

    Must sleep now as I slept for like 3.5 hours yesterday at 6am! Woooooo. Life of an interior design student.

    Some other random updates:

    NAJIB, no it’s the car plate NAJ113 which arranged like the word – NAJIB. In case you do not know who is Najib, he’s our fat Prime Minister. Yeah, 1Malaysia. Wonder who is so sampat, so obsessed with the name.
    Met Dr Eric Leong, the Raja Hias – Design King of Malaysia at the UK Education Fair last week. He’s really a funny person and chat a bit with him. He introduces me to Teesside University, anyone heard of it before? By the way, congrats him on his doctorate of art.
    Bought a work chair for my room! My old plastic chair was broken and this chair is so much comfortable than the normal chair. See the above second picture and you will see the chair.
  • CLESIC & The Central Malaysia Chung Ling Alumni 50th Anniversary

    CLESIC & The Central Malaysia Chung Ling Alumni 50th Anniversary

    The alumni, graduates of 1981. Hyper-active group of uncles.

    CLESIC & The Central Malaysia Chung Ling Alumni 50th Anniversary – It’s quite surprised that my old Chung Ling High School friend invited me to the Central Malaysia Chung Ling Alumni 50th Anniversary dinner because I haven’t been active with my old school for a long long time. How are you Chung Ling High School?

    Cocktail session.

    Actually, it’s not eat, it’s helping out at the dinner, before, and after, in between we get to join in the dinner with all the uncle senior alumnis who are based in Central Malaysia. They are uncles and aunties already, and also member of Central Malaysia Chung Ling Alumni Club, and for us, we are part of CLESIC – Chung Ling Ex-Student Inter-varsity Council. Woahhhh. It’s just, alumni, for university student (at this moment). Only now I know there’s something like this, alumni might not be a place for us right now as we are too young, dominated by uncles, so CLESIC it is.

    The guys: me, Khai Liang, Lit Chen, Win Shern, Jing Min, Chuan Hao.

    Normally CLESIC happens to be in public university like UM, UKM, USM and all the U-and-the-M. There’s no Taylor’s University, but glad that I was invited as part of it. Well, it’s fun, simple tasks, great dinner, OK-good performance, met new friends, good laughters throughout the night and =).

    Ushering.
    Rise for the national anthem. Yoyoyo.
    Rise for the school anthem, the last time was, 3 years ago.
    A way to control noise in the hall.
    Some Chinese dance performance.
    Well, hmm, OK, when I look at this, I’ll think of Bo Hood. Hmm, hmm, hmm. Hello Mr Koh, ex-chief minister of Penang.
    CLESIC. Too many to name, I don’t even know some of your name. You know who you are. Lady in blue is Xiao Hui, host from NTV7, happens to be the host for the dinner too.
    This is it.

    It was a grand alumni dinner in the Kuala Lumpur. As I know, Chung Ling-kia (what we call Chung Ling student) always do big. No doubt that Chung Ling has the biggest alumni network around the world, UK, China, USA, Australia, they are just everywhere. Proud to be a Chung Ling student, yes I do.

  • Sunday, Hock Sheng, Crowded H&M, Sunset From LRT

    Sunday, Hock Sheng, Crowded H&M, Sunset From LRT

    Always crowded Pavilion Shopping Mall.

    Sunday, Hock Sheng, Crowded H&M, Sunset From LRT – Very random last Sunday with eating pork noodle, doing some gym, head to town with Hock Sheng – high school friend, and took the LRT back. I have been isolating myself for a couple of weeks and it’s time to release myself from my tiny full-of-entertainment relaxing rented room to head to town, breath some fresh air, window shop the shopping mall and eat.

    I am weird, I like to stay in the room, and yet I like to go out. Can you explain what do I really like actually? At some point of time, I enjoy staying at home, enjoying the TV, blog, music and Internet, then I am also an outgoing one, check out new stuff, new place, and buy thing. @@

    The queue!
    Very cool interiors.
    I want more, please! I shall go to the Europe, the Sweden as I heard it’s even cheaper there, true?

    Actually, the main reason I went to town was to check out the newly opened H&M at LOT 10, Bukit Bintang, took the LRT there and not-surprisingly, there’s a queue line outside and luckily it’s not hot and got in in about less than 10 minutes. 3 floors, ground and first floor are ladies’ and the 2nd floor is the man’s.

    Amazed, happy, shocked with the low price and choices, I bought a couple of shirts. The price is good! Shirt starts from RM39.90, what do you think? Best of all there’s XS size for little body size like me, but then not much XS/S available. It’s very crowded and happenings, people queuing for fitting room and cashier. I suggest you to go on the weekday or wait for the new one at Setia City Mall @ Setia Alam, Shah Alam.

    Standard eat @ Snowflakes – Snowflakes Bestseller Grass Jelly.
    Me with the little bag of shirts.
    Hock Sheng who used to sit next to me during high school. Just came to KL recently for study.
    BMW 650i Coupe – Just got to say, beautiful and I want. So sexy!
    Almost sunset from Pavilion bridge to KLCC.
    Sunset from Taman Bahagia LRT station. Good bye.
    Went to Pavilion for a break at Snowflakes, chit chat with Hock Sheng, talk about some random stuff and his life in KL. Window shopped a bit and then, home we go and I manage to catch the sunset from the LRT station before headed to the carpark. Sunday, that’s it, fun.
  • Departure To London, Tee Jin

    Departure To London, Tee Jin

    Departure To London, Tee Jin – Tee Jin, the name that I knew 5 years ago. My classmate for the last three year of high school, Form 3, Form 4, Form 5, my Leo Club mate, a friend, a source of motivation, sort of an education guider, a good friend. Although, there’s some misunderstanding many years back, yet, he’s good, friend.

    Hock Sheng.
    Khai Liang.
    Playing his very new Olympus OMD. What a delicious camera to eat.
    London is his next destination, the UK is his new home for the next 3 years, for studies, for travel, for exploration. I and a few friend went to the airport to send him off and bid good bye.
    Tee Jin
    I don’t see sadness in me, I see cheer, excitement, perhaps nervous, as it’s good for him to step foot into the global metropolitan of London.

    I am envy, I am jealous, and I want to go too! Many friends have already leaved Malaysia, there’s still many people here too, but the heart in me is – leave. No, I am not un-patriotic, I just want to explore, gain, learn, see and share and I am fed up with the Malaysia political scene. Where shall I go? The Singapore, the UKs, I shall plan. My family, my girlfriend, do you want to go together?

    Been through this gate many times. Shall try going through and not come back for some times.
    Bon voyage Tee Jin, I shall see you soon in the UK, one day, next year, I assume.
  • Uncle Jang Korean Restaurant 닭갈비

    Uncle Jang Korean Restaurant 닭갈비

    Uncle Jang Korean Restaurant – Was feeling Korean food last weekend, searched all over the Internet for a decent and affordable Korean food but the list was just too much. I couldn’t narrowed down my choices, and ended I found this Uncle Jang, affordable and authentic Korean food, serving only Dak-Gal Bi.

    Was very curious with the food name. I am not really familiar with Korean, Japanese is OK, but not Korean and I am not a fan of Kpop too. Found out that Dak Gal Bi 닭갈비 is BBQ chicken with spice and vegetable, then eat with lettuces and later add on fried rice, ramyun noodle and more. Sounds interesting!

    Off we go to Ampang, the little Korean Town to search for it. There’s a branch at Bandar Puteri, Puchong but I insisted to go to the original one that filled with Koreans. =D

    There’s only Dak-Galbi at there. Minimum order is two set, non-spicy (RM19) and spicy (RM22), You can mix it up to become mild. Then you can top-up fried rice or noodle and other (RM6) to eat with it. Else, it’s all chicken and vegetable.

    Sit down and wait for the people to cook for you. The taste is OK-spicy to me. Not super spicy, just good and you get only 2 ban chan – some kim chi and onion. After eating about 2/3 of the chicken, you can ask the rice to be served. The person will again fried the rice in front of you with the ingredient left on the hot plate.

    Taste? Good, don’t really like wrapping with lettuce, but eating with rice or noodle is awesome! BUT! 2 set for 2 of us is just so so much! I think it can serve about 3-4 people!

    Satisfied, good service and no service charge. I will come back again in the future.

  • Petronas KLCC After Dinner

    Petronas KLCC After Dinner

    Petronas KLCC After Dinner – I had Korean food last Friday! It was a very-very full Korean dinner for me and I will talk about it in another post. After dinner, I did not want to go home yet, I want to walkaround to digest the food in my little stomach. I was so bloated after dinner and need some exercise.

    Since nothing to do, so I went to KLCC (Petronas Twin Towers) for fun with dearest, Hueisean! =) I feel very funny when people were driving out of the carpark at 10.30pm and I was driving in. There’s no other place better than KLCC for a night walk, is there any? =D

    KL is not like Hong Kong where you can go to the Victoria Harbour, Sai Yeung Choi St or Causeway Bay for walk, even Singapore has more place to walkaround at night e.g. Marina Bay. KL… Hmmmmmmm.

    The Public Bank building looks awesome!
    It’s her!
    Us!
    Passed by H&M, Bukit Bintang while going home. People were standing outside taking photos on the day before it opens. Haha.
  • Chan’s Chok Faces

    Chan’s Chok Faces

    Chan’s Chok Faces – Chok Face is the term use to describe people’s face expression which is cool, vain, errr, CHOK, that I do not know how to explain about it. My friend CC made an easier explanation and that is – ‘communicating/talking through your nose and eyes’.

    Obviously dad has no idea what is CHOK. Haha.
