    My Genarasi - Video That Brought Back Young Memories

    My Genarasi – Video That Brought Back Young Memories – This is a good video to share with you guys. It’s a short film made by Jinnyboy from Hitz.fm and it’s really brought back the memories during young days in the primary school and secondary school.

    My Genarasi - Video That Brought Back Young Memories

    Thinking back to the days, it’s fun and really naive, and happy too. Remember you brought cool school bags to school? Remembers those trolley bag with cartoons on it? It’s really funny, when seeing other people has a better stationery set and myself wanted one too. Autograph book was like a indirect way to get a girls contact during primary school, so that I can hide the shuness inside of me. Haha. Who’s need autograph book now when there’s Facebook?

    The eraser rubber flipping game was very stupid too, it was a heat during form 2 where everyone has their own ‘rubber’ and ‘battle’ with each other in class. Pepsi-cola, beer bottle cap game and more, are all from my time, wonder what’s with today’s kids? Spamming on Facebook wall? DotA all day long? Or iPad iPad iPad? =D

  • I Came Back To Chung Ling High School

    After 1.5 years of high school graduation, I came back to my high school, the Chung Ling High School, number 1 all-boys Chinese school in Penang. HAHAHA. Seriously, I do misses my high school quite a lot because there’s many bit of my happy memories.

    Recent visit was actually to get the official copy of my SPM result certificate (not the copy slip that I’ve got last year), to eat the delicious canteen food and also to meet friends at the Upper Sixth Form.


    Poh Lin of Upper Sixth Form.

    Unfortunately, I did not get the SPM result certificate because that there’s no one in the admin office to attend us. We were there during lunch hour and they were out for lunch break. Too bad, so we just spent time wandering around school, eat and talk.

    I am now in college, and many friends are still in high school doing the Sixth Form (A Level equivalent) and because of that I get to meet them when their classes dismiss. It was really nice to meet back all the high school mates and most of them haven’t change a bit. It brings back the times when we actually spend times every day in school together, doing some useless funny thing.

    High school was fun, real fun. Some say being in an all-boys school will be boring because there’s no chick, but you are wrong, it’s fun as there’s no limitation and hesitation in our acts, doings and talking. We talk whatever we want.

    Some even afraid of boys will turn into gay or afraid of being abused by gay. But I tell you, I found no gay (one or two perhaps) which they are probably embarrassed to approach the straights at that age. And one thing, I have no comment on gay, neither hate or like.


    Arron Lim.

    Do you know that Chung Ling High School has many powerful alumni? Singapore’s Minister of National Development was a Chung Ling boy. Jiang Haoliang who is the General Manager-Business in Hon Hai Precision Industry Co., Ltd. (factory that makes iPhone) was a Chung Ling boy. More and more.


    Yan Chien Chern.

    Well, another thing I got to say is that the canteen food is still cheap. Cheapest tid bits starts from RM0.20 for a piece of fried wantan, and normal food like Koay Teow Th’ng starts from RM1.20! Best food are Koay Teow Thng, fried egg, wantan mee and the economy mixed rice. These are awesome!


    Ong Jing Min.

    Ai Wu Chung Long 爱吾钟灵, the school motto, I Love My Chung Ling.

  • My Experience with SONY Cyber Shot

    [CONTEST]

    The king and first large 3.5inch touchscreen camera is a wonderful camera that my brother owns which now I am keeping this little baby for him. The Sony Cybershot T200 is the camera that you see in the above photo, with a gorgeous, sexy big touch screen. Sony still make sexy Cybershot camera by the way!

    I want to write about my experience with the Sony Cybershot and so I want to rewrite one of the post that I have written before, sharing photos that I have taken with the Sony Cybershot! =D I now want to bring you back to the days during my high school time which I brings the camera every day to school, yes, every single day.=D

    Science class is always fun, especially in Chung Ling High School where crazy bunch of Chung Ling student who are serious and at the same time playful. We play and we learn at the same time. Teacher always thought that we were not serious, but in fact we did actually listen to what they thought us. I serious.

    Look at the face above, every was was so serious to check out the experiment. So fun and I was taking photo at there. HAHA. Yet I got A for my Science subjects by the way. Wakaka.

    Then…

    Someone (Shi Hun) smiled to the camera, where the class started to get hardworking, hardworking in being playful. You know being hardworking in playful is really very fun and crazy.

    That’s right. Some say Chung Ling boys are naughty, in fact we were not. We were bunch of diligent kids. HAHA. And over-active a bit, talk a lot, being lazy and hardworking at the same time, I guess that’s make people think that we were naughty. No, we weren’t, we aren’t too.

    Lalala. High school was the best and happiest moment and luckily I’ve got the camera to capture the memories! Yo 5SA1 of 2009, are you here?

     

  • 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.

     

  • 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

     

  • Back To Chung Ling High School on 020710

    Back To Chung Ling High School on 020710

    I went back to my high school last Friday for lunch. Some people thought that it’s kinda weird going back to high school to have meal at there. Tell you what, I miss my high school’s canteen food a lot and ex-Chung Ling students often go back to the canteen for meal too. Same as my dad who have graduated for over 30 years and he still sometimes go back for lunch.

    One is because it’s cheap, two is parking and three is delicious. When I was in high school, the delicious feeling couldn’t be tasted because we were like eating the same thing every day but when we get out, it’s like we couldn’t eat the same thing everyday again and sometimes, crave for it.

    Went there with Chien Chern. After lunch, we walked around the school. This might not be my last time going back to school, but it might be my last time walking around the school. 2 weeks plus and I will be leaving Penang. I course will come back to look for my high school’s canteen food, but don’t know when will be the next time. I will be far away!

    Saw many friends but hard to join in because they are mixing with a new gang right now, new class and new year for them. I am still waiting for college.

    IMG_6007
    2009, by me. =D


    2010, by don’t know who.

    Then I found my Leo Club’s notice board, it’s so much different from what I did for the board right now. I did contribute to the notice board when I was in the club last year. =D

    Looking at them working out in school, I kinda miss the days back, but I know nothing can turn the clock backwards. I have to move on already. If you are still in high school, do enjoy it to the max, it’s the best part of life. Always have no worries one. I regret why I only enjoyed the last two years and the other 3 years, maybe I was still too naive. Haha.

    Walking around the school was actually not because wanted to walk for fun, it’s too full after the lunch and was trying to digest the food, at the same time, checking out old stuff like classes I studied in.

    When I was in afternoon class that time, during form 1 and form 2, not many great memories though, was still like a kid. But one thing I know, I was a blogger since end of Form 1 and started experiment with photography in Form 2. =D

    Class changed a lot. It was a place I crazied, slept, shouted, screamed in and it’s now my place. If you ask me to be back student for a day, I can’t, because the feeling has gone and it’s a past. No more turning back. Everyone is gone! Look at the table arrangement, it’s all different already.


    5SA1.

    Form 4 and Form 5 were the best year in high school. I am not a bad kid but I have kena disciplined action before because of always bringing stuffs like camera and cellphone and going out of the class. Haha. Don’t think I am bad, I am just playful, I assumed. If I didn’t bring camera, you wouldn’t see so many school life post at here already.


    4SA5.

    Why the school here don’t allow cellphone and camera? I strongly disagree with these. I need to blog my life and share! It’s memories. Cellphone is for contacting and don’t talk about public pay phone, they sucks and it’s only usable after school. What if you want to contact your parents to fetch you when you found out the meeting has canceled or on the other way around? But nevermind, I brought it like almost every day last time, just I didn’t use in class, I am sure.

    High school rocks, especially Chung Ling High School.

    Away to PLKN (Day 58): Photos with Teachers and Friends After 2009 Graduation Ceremony

    Quite some time didn’t see my Graduation Day post already right? I am back with the last one which consist many photos of me taking with my teachers in school. So this happened right after the Graduation Ceremony 2009, people started going back home, but I decided to stay and go look for teachers to take photos with. It’s last time already, where everyone still around.

  • Lomo on SPM

    Lomo on SPM

    Don’t play play. I brought my DSLR everyday during my SPM examination in 2009. But on the last day, I brought my Holga and Diana F+ lomography toy camera with me. I’ve decided and tried to shoot everything left in the roll and here are 3 that I’ve got.

    Away to PLKN (Day 27): I Am Going To Taylor’s University College

    I’ve no idea how to tell you how’s my life in NS, still good I assume. ^^

    IMG_6997 by nicholaschan.

    In this coming July 2010, I will be going to Kuala Lumpur, the capital to pursue my study. Oh yeah, it’s something sad and exciting, going away from home to go study. For sure, I will homesick, and also friend-sick. LOL. I will miss everything back home, my comfy bed, my lovely big screen TV, my big room, my daddy, my mommy and everything at home. I will also miss all my friends and the magnificent six (include me), Arron, Chien Chern, Yiphing, Chaiwei and Chen Yuen, and also not in the magnificent Alvin, Ammerlynn, Zez Chien, and also many more. Haha.

    Shit, I am talking like I am going to leave soon. Actually not, I will be still in Penang for like 3 months because my school only starts on the 26 of July 2010.

    IMG_6981 by nicholaschan.

    I’ll be studying Interior Design course at Taylor’s University College, hopefully I will meet you KL people at there. Hehe.

    IMG_6985 by nicholaschan.

    IMG_6984 by nicholaschan.
    The Taylor’s Residence a.k.a. Hostel, was still in the middle of construction, hopefully it’s done when I arrive in campus.

    So why Taylor’s and not Penang? I want to go explore out-of-Penang, I want a campus life, I want to meet new people, I want to learn more, I like the school, it’s new and so on so on.

    IMG_6992 by nicholaschan.
    Nice lecture theater facing the lake.

    We’ve visited the school 2 months ago and it’s really pretty. There’s a lake in the middle of the campus, everything is new, the classroom, the chairs, the tables and me. It’s newly built and open in January lately only. So it’s cool.

    Penang has no pretty school, interior design at Penang’s The One Academy is new, Equator Academy is ugly, I must move on. =) I’ll talk more about it when I get into the college in July, oh yeah! Gonna enjoy most of my time with my family and friends here to the fullest first, and also NS.
