Brother’s Commencement @ NUS University Cultural Centre

Brother’s Commencement @ NUS University Cultural Centre – My big brother is now a real big brother! He has finally graduated from National University Of Singapore as of 2012 and he is now a truely professional working adult. I am so proud of him. It had been so many years that he went for studies in Singapore, more than 10 years already and time flies. I still remembered when I was still a little kid, following parents and him to Singapore for the first time long time ago.

Singapore, is now not stranger to us. I have visited Singapore for more than 10 times and it’s another familiar place to me. I went to his graduation ceremony few weeks back in one of the top university in Singapore and Asia – National University of Singapore. They called it Commencement (American-style) instead of convocation (British-style), it’s like a commencement to a new journey of life. Sounds cool. I was his personal photographer on that day, following him around to take photos of him with his friends.

At Universtiy Cultural Centre where the ceremony took place, it’s a sea of graduates in academical regalia, it invokes a feeling in me to study hard to wear on one in the future. Diploma is not enough for me, I shall go on to Honours Degree. =) Being knowledgeable and smart is just so cool!

Brother and his girlfriend from the same school and course.

Few more years for my turn but for now, study hard, live hard. Congratulates to my brother, Yikhung. =)

Taylor’s University Roof Top

View From Taylor’s University Roof Top – Few days ago, I went around campus to explore fire protection system thingy and this leaded me and my group to the roof top. =D It’s not dangerous, there’s a lot of air con machinery at there but that’s not the main point, main thing is we were at the roof!

Well, the view from the roof top is not really awesome, nothing cool to see. No beautiful sea view or city view.

Yeah.

Yellow Penang Chung Ling High School

Yellow Penang Chung Ling High School – Back to my high school last weekend and surprised to see that the make over of the front school facade has done. They have repainted the school yellow colour! It’s the bright yellow colour. Looking weird, very weird, but somehow, cool I guess.

It’d been very long time that I didn’t visit my high school. I miss it quite a lot actually. 2012, this is my third year after leaving high school already. I went there to visit my Leo Club friends where the school was having the annual CCA Open Day.

The school was beige in colour back then, I wonder who suggest yellow colour. A little information is that yellow colour is one of the colour in Chung Ling High School’s emblem.

Random #1: The police cadet so serious.

Random #2: LCD screens are everywhere in school!

Random #2.1: Oooo, so it’s Samsung.

Random #3: Look disgusting, but we like! Chung Ling-style fried egg.

Random #4: The stand of the motorcycle sunken into the tar road. WOW.

Singapore Trip: Visit To National University of Singapore NUS

#1: Walkway with huge slanted column.

Singapore Trip: Visit To National University of Singapore NUS – During my trip to Singapore in last November, I went to visit my brother’s place and school which is the National University Of Singapore at Clementi. He studies and lives at the hostel of the university. I went to walk around the place where he lives – UTown @ NUS, a newly opened campus of NUS, housing the Residential Colleges, Graduate Residence, largest 24 hours Starbucks Coffee outlet in Singapore as well as the Campus for Research Excellence and Technological Enterprise (CREATE). The UTown feels very much like modern office blocks to me.

The campus is so much cooler and bigger when compare to Malaysia’s University like the UM, USM, or the university that I am studying in – Taylor’s University. However, you need to be good in order to get in to National University Of Singapore. Somehow, if I am given a chance to choose, I prefer studying abroad further away, US or UK perhaps, schools at those country have a long history and reflects a true campus life.

#2: UTown @ NUS.

#3: Longest private link bridge in Singapore, connecting Utown to NUS main campus.

#4: ETA of campus shuttle bus. Cool right?

#5.

#6: Cinnamon College, one of the Residential Colleges.

#7.

#8: Buildings in Singapore is pretty much alike in Malaysia.

#9.

#10: Buono Vista, closest MRT station to NUS.

A Week In Taylor’s University #1

#1: On the other side of the man-made lake.

A Week In Taylor’s University #1 – Hello people, it’s another new week again, how are you guys? I am starting something new called “A Week In Taylor’s University #” which is actually blog post full of photos that I’ve captured over the week. I compiled them up and I blog it up in a shot. One long post of all the photos of the week. It would be easier and you won’t be seeing similar thing everyday. =D

#2: Lazy dog lying at staff’s carpark.

Of course it’s not my first week in Taylor’s University, it’d been I-don’t-know-how-many-weeks. Well, if you ask me about the experience in this campus, it would be good and bad, I love the beautiful campus, however, I kinda dislike the way they administrate the school. It’s a little big too money-centric which I certainly hates.

Another thing is the syllabus for Diploma In Interior Design isn’t that great after all. OMG. I did learn something, but I also did learn something not really interesting, or related to design, it could be said as not practical with future work.

#3: Hate to see the Autopay sign where it reminds you to pay.

#4: Cloud overcasting the sky.

Blablabla. If I were to rants about it, it would be a bloody long post but I don’t want to. Haha. It’d been raining quite a lot last week. The sky was scattered with clouds all the time, and I kept afraid of raining down because I have to walk to the carpark to fetch my car. There’s no covered walkway. It’s just so stupid. Haha.

#5: iPhone games are just everywhere in school.

#6: Kevin To in the background.

Studies was OK, just a little bit stress and worried on assignments. Because all in the mind was getting a good result, which results in a pushing myself too much. Sometimes, I told myself to take a break, sometimes, I told myself to push. What a funny me.

#7: Wanyi’s drinking water.

#8: A dark and cloudy day.

Well, do you like it when a lecturer tell you that the class is canceled, or no class for the day? It sure sounds good and fun, however at the same time felt pain in the ass, because every lesson is money. $$ You might be thinking I am being money face, yes money is very important, yet tuition fees is expensive. Haha. How wish the tuition fee could be lower, even if it’s lower, I need to be convinced that the fee worth it, but till now, I am not convinced yet. Hmm. What do you think?

Truth is, I think I’ve picked the wrong school? Perhaps, but thing has been done, decision has been made, so I have to go with the flows. Hoping that I will be convinced one day.

#9: Lecturer was playing a video for us to see.

#10: Had Moral Education mid-term exam which was pretty fun and easy.

#11: The Kebab Stall.

#12: Working on the kebab, smells delicious, priced expensive at RM8 per kebab sandwich.

Spent quite a lot of time recently in campus because of group work for the assignments and projects. The thing that I like about the school is having a good facilities where we can work out on projects during free time.

#13: Workers painting the outdoor table. Good job,

#14: Wesley’s acting cute and Jia Hui was concentrating with the music on the iPhone.

#15: Some Sony Walkman event in the campus.

#16: Delicious mamak-style fried rice at Star Teh Tarik for only RM4.

And there’s many food and beverage outlets which are pretty cool. I like Star Teh Tarik, a mamak store in the campus which is my favourite dining place because of the low price. HAHAHA. Not forget to mention, the food is good in taste too.

#17: In a classroom overlooking the mad-made lake. Looking ugly at the end where the open air rocky road carpark is.

#18: Some entertainment in class.

#19: iPad gaming in class.

#20: More iPad user in action.

#21: 1:1 sculpture by the architecture students.

#22: Farah’s smilling to Wesley.

#23: Security guard looking at the lake, relaxing.

#24: The 3 beautiful academic blocks. Too bad, there’s only 3 of them. The word “UNI” at the roof looks weird.

#25: The lake with an ugly end.

#26: Fire hydrant by the lake. Was playing with my Sigma f1.4 30mm lens.

#27: Another unfavorable sign.

#28: FREE parking is always uber far away.

Well, let’s see how this week will be to me. Super duper looking forward to the Apple event tomorrow and also the Nine Emperors God Festival on Wednesday. =) Do you like your college?

Away to PLKN (Day 30): PCGHS Food Fair

On 14 March 2010, I went to Penang Chinese Girls’ High School to check out their food fair. It had been quite some time I didn’t visit school organized food fair. In 2006, my school organized a food fair, but I was not there because I went outstation, that’s sad because Chung Ling High School don’t always organise food fair.

When I was Form 4, I attended Convent Datuk Keramat Secondary School food fair, could be said as my first time going to a school’s food fair. Then this PCGHS Food Fair could be my second time already.

Food fair are always fun with game stalls but not the food. I actually go there to check up stalls by Leo Club of Penang Chinese Girls’ High School, to see what they did and support support them. I don’t really know a lot of friends from that school except the Leo Club.

Met Jane.

Blogger who rocks. Yng Shin.

Zhang Hao, Leo Club senior.

DSLR gang, Kelvin and Teik Hua.

Lousy food.

I went there at around 10am. It’s all traffic jam already at Jalan Gottlieb, the road outside PCGHS, all because of the food fair. Luckily I found a good parking spot. Went in alone and look for Leo Club’s booth. Later then Arron, Tee Jin, Chien Chern and Yiphing came and I went to join them

Chai Wei’s sister, Chai Ting.

Wan Pei!

Cai Qian working.

Yng Shin again.

The Leo Club was a game booth. Their game was fishing, each player pays RM2 for a game and do like the Japanese style of fishing with a piece of paper instead of net. You can take home the fish you got. So it’s like buying fish at there. Haha.

Very hot day and keep sweating all the way. I met many Chung Ling juniors, friends, bloggers and Plurkers. Many people, very crowded, very happening, and I like, just I really hate the weather.

Plurkers.

I was hungry and I ate my breakfast at there. Unfortunately, the food I ate sucks, it’s a Japanese Fried Rice. But gonna thank Arron for the sponsor of coupon so it was a free breakfast for that morning.

There’s many food, many things, many game stall. There’s also haunted house but we didn’t get a chance to go in because it’s closed when we were there. Sucks man. We thought that the Q would be shorter when we go in at the last minute, but they said the ghosts were tired already, so early closure. Oops.

Edmond, Hanna, Hui Mei and Liang Sun.

Pei Cin.

Lion Ong Lai was there too! My Regional District Chairperson for Leo Club and also Kok Sheng, vice president for Leo Cabinet.

Me, Tee Jin and Chien Chern.

That morning was pretty fun also, but very hot.
