  • Feeling Lost, Something New, Just Do It

    Feeling Lost, Something New, Just Do It

    Feeling Lost, Something New, Just Do It–  Hi all, it’d been a few weeks since I’ve posted something here, and I guess it’d been quite a long time I write something personal, a thought. Recently, as usual I am and will be so much busy with the design assignments that I’ve, only until end of May I will put an end to it and that’s the end of my interior design study. I don’t know, it seems that as time goes by, my interest and passion in working out on the interior design project has diminish. I feel lost, but I still haven’t given up on it yet as I’m still like looking at beautiful spaces on website occasionally and still love planning clean concept space. It’s just, I’m not as passionate as other interior designers out there. Hmmmmm.

    Somehow, the other side of me is unleashing a crave to swim in the sea of entrepreneurship, it’s just something that I’ve never thought of and I hope it’s not too late to get a grasp on it. I was inspired by lots of Youtube videos about startup, and entrepreneurship, e.g. how former Alibaba’s CEO Jack Ma started the company, The Startup Kid & lots of TED talk. The videos somehow trigger my mind to lean away from what I’m doing right now which they were quite motivating and inspiring. It seems like I am enjoying this more than that. Well, I would surely wanted to explore this new field someday in the future (soon that I hope, not today, too much of assignments), yet I still don’t want to dump the skill that I’ve gained in the past 3 years in university about designing spaces for people. What can I do?

    The thing about me is the lack of perseverance of doing something (which has been in me for some times and I hate it)t, I realised for anything to success, perseverance is more important than anything else, not to mention courage, and determination. I am not trying to ask for any opinion in this rambling post, nor to tell the world about me lacking perseverance, it’s just that at this moment, I felt that I need to write it down, tell myself that I must work hard and determine in doing something right now, ‘I am 22 years old, I want to do it, I have to do it and I must do it.’, it’s not high school nor college anymore! No more slacking and just gonna get shit done and just do it. When I recalls this post in the future, hopefully I will be proud of myself of later because of today. To those who are lack of the determination to do something, I hope that you can start telling yourself, ‘ fck that sh!T, just do it now’. – Good night, it’s warm here in the UK, just 7 degree celcius, welcome to Spring 2014.

    Enjoy your moon cake, have fun reunion with your family, enjoy all the great food, BBQ, steamboat, beer and talking cock with friends and family, enjoy the round round moon, enjoy the night, enjoy Mid-Autumn!

    Another year of spending mid-autumn away from home, nothing much feeling already, it’s just another day of my life, at least I did have mooncake and wishes people here and there. Hehe. I don’t think I will get much chance to celebrate mid-autumn together with my family too, nevertheless I am looking forward to go home some other day.

    Happy Mid-Autumn Festival. Yay. My friend Chien Chern who is in Liverpool told me that ‘外国的月亮真得比较圆, the moon at foreign country is truly rounder’. Wow.

  • Thank You Lee Chong Wei

    Thank You Lee Chong Wei

    Thank You Lee Chong Wei – I believe many of you were watching the Olympic Badminton Final together in your room, living room, outside with friends and anywhere. It’s sad and pity to see just two point slipped away. I believe some of you cried for him too.

    I was watching with my housemate, it was really nervous and exciting. Watching the point being tied at most of the time was just so uneasy, it’s like riding on a roller coaster. Twitter was trending ‘DLCW’ ‘Don’t Let China Win’ ‘LCW4GOLD’, I join the talk with ‘Don’t Let China Win’, unfortunately, Lin Dan wins again.

    No doubt LD is good, but Dato Lee Chong Wei is good as well! Perhaps, he is our Malaysian Pride. He is the one who unite the whole Malaysia to watch a badminton match. Although Negaraku cannot be heard, we still can see Malaysia flag rising into the air.

    You did great, thank you Lee Chong Wei.

    By the way, Lin Dan sucks. LOL. What a ‘kukujiao shithead’ with an arrogant face. Good night guys! Tomorrow sing k, woohoo!

  • Design Assignments, Projects = NO LIFE?

    Design Assignments, Projects = NO LIFE?

    Design Assignments, Projects = NO LIFE? – I have been doing a lot of assignments lately, almost everyday that I am working on my school’s assignments which is related to Interior Design. Some people started saying me ‘NO LIFE’ that I everyday do, do and do, lacking entertainment and going out to relax. Hahaha, I also started to think that am I having a ‘NO LIFE’?

    Design Assignments, Projects = NO LIFE? Workstation

    I guess many design school student, e.g. interior design, graphic design, or multimedia design, even architecture student have the same ‘assignments/projects all-the-time’ life as me, right? I think it’s only us, the creative student is the most busy one, I see business school’s students are so free.

    But then, I kinda enjoy this kind of busy-ness (WEIRD). I just keep thinking that I have to finish the assignments fast so that I can enjoy to the fullest, I wonder is it correct or not? I am trying to find a balance point between work and play, but haven’t found it yet as I think that right now, my responsible, my task is to study well; only when I am working in the future, work and play must be balance.

    Design Assignments, Projects = NO LIFE? Workstation

    Well, I’ve got to say, working on projects non-stop is my life right now, I just wanted to finish them fast and end it quickly. Mom is also getting frustrated that every time I tell her that I am doing project. Do you have a busy working, assignments life like me, and enjoying it?

    Assignments, Projects = NO LIFE? By the way, I am back to Nick Chan Dot Net. So long no write, so much to write, so many thing to share. =D

  • Good Morning 4:18AM

    MacBook Pro Monitor Work Midnight Room

    Good Morning 4:18AM – What am I doing at this wee hour of the early morning? It’s about 2 hours plus until sunrise and an hour more till the chicken co0k-a-doo. I believe many of you are sleeping sweetly, traveling in your dream world and there’s still people like me that’s not sleeping, perhaps gaming or studying. I am doing assignment, homework!

    3 more weeks till end of semester and there’s many final submission is coming soon. Workload is heavy, not complaining anything, but just feel like needing more time to complete and perfect my work. It’s final, works have to be good and awesome.

    Untitled

    I want to sleep too. I don’t to spend all night long working until the sunrise. It feels very weird not sleeping at night and that’s why I am writing this to wish you all a good night before heading to bed. There’s friends of mine that do work at night and don’t sleep at all, I find it quite weird and very wrong. At least, a little sleep of minimum of 4 hours is what I would do.

    Well, do you spend time not sleeping in the night and do your work? Or you would rather sleep and do your work the next day, perhaps early in the morning? Share your view.

  • HELP! Gurney Drive Is Getting Ugly

    HELP! Gurney Drive Is Getting Ugly

    HELP! Gurney Drive Is Getting Ugly – The building of condominium and shopping malls along Gurney Drive is truly a good thing which brings a nice skyline to Penang island. However, the shore or the Gurney Drive’s bay is getting super duper ugly during low tides with a big area of muddy land. The government seriously need to do something to overcome this problem.

    This is an eyesore to both the locals and tourists who visit the famous Gurney Drive. As you know Gurney Drive is pretty famous for the seaside, Gurney Plaza shopping mall and the hawker centre. It will leaves a bad impression for those who took photos when the sea is on a low tides.

    HELP! Gurney Drive Is Getting Ugly

    I heard about that Gurney Drive did has a nice beach 20-30 years back and sea turtle do come here to lay eggs, but they will never ever come back because of the dirty bay and the muddy area.

    Something need to be done, something big. Dig a deeper sea, build a garden by the sea, perhaps bring a beach to Gurney Drive (HAHA). Hope that it will turns better in future. Finger cross.

    What do you think about Gurney Drive?

  • Midnight In The Hotel Room

    Untitled

    I am still not asleep when everyone as has already fall asleep. I am spending my own sweet time in front of the computer. The night is not really young right now and I want to get into the dreamland soon. I wonder what I will dream of tonight, or maybe just a dream that I will forget upon waking up. I dreamed about stock market and security last night which was pretty weird, and cool.

    I look around, it’s a pitch black darkness, it’s only the computer that is shining my sight at this moment. Good night my fellow friends, and how was your Malaysia Day people? Happy weekends!

  • Random Walkaround At Bukit Bintang Area


    Best place in Kuala Lumpur.

    After residing here for a year in Klang Valley, I realised that life outside the city – the place I am staying and studying isn’t really fun when compare to the city. Klang Valley is just another normal metropolitan city, with the downtown Kuala Lumpur is fun.

    I wonder why there’s no beautiful and quality university campuses located right downtown. It would be really great if there is. Haha. Life, fun and study must blends well, with a well and healthy city life. Sunway area is pretty boring for me, all the building looks the same with no colour, it’s isn’t anywhere close to the city where beautifully designed skyscrapers are.


    New Apple shop is coming to town, hidden opposite of Low Yat Plaza.

    Even though the skyline of Kuala Lumpur is beautiful, when comparing to my hometown Penang, I still greatly like Penang more because of the colours, the people, and the old heritage city. That’s something Kuala Lumpur doesn’t have.


    I still prefer Chatime and Gong Cha despite many awesome bubble tea out there.

    Penang is colourful with the old colonial styles houses, blends with a little bit of modern shopping malls and buildings. With low skyline, you can see a colourful red tiles roof. Another thing that I fancy Penang is the close-nest to the sea, water, and greens. Kuala Lumpur is just a concrete jungle within a valley with no sea but a little but of greens. That’s the biggest dislike, the nearest sea needs about 45 minutes trip, a beautiful beach needs about 1.5 hours of drive. When in Penang, beach, sea and nature are so near.


    Happy Merdeka Day Malaysia!

    Anyway, home will be the best place to be after study.
