DID Final Semester, Final Presentation

DID Final Semester, Final Presentation – I am writing this on my lovely leather couch, far away from my college, to be exact – in Penang, at home! College is so far ended for me, the past 4 months was so hectic for me as it was the final semester and I stressed up myself to be the best of myself. I didn’t want to waste my last semester and I just wanted to squeeze out whatever skills I had, that’s why I did not blog for the past few months and to be honest, I was quite stressed up.

Of course, I am relaxing right now, I am grateful that the 3 years Diploma In Interior Design studies is over with flying colours and it’s time for me to move to the next level – continue to the degree program! Yay!

Well, speaking back about the final presentation for my final design studio project, I was actually not nervous about presentation, I actually love speaking out and selling my idea. The stress up part was actually the preparation where you see time was moving so fast and so much more to do. To be honest, I was not very satisfied with the outcome, although it’d been a good one according to my lecturers, yet I still feels that there’s much more space for improvement! Yes, indeed. One of my weakness was not having sufficient research, that’s I admit that and I need improvement in that. Never mind, I told myself I still have a year of Degree study to go, don’t stop learning, Nicholas!

Lecturer for the design studio – Sabariah.

The classmate. Bye!

A Day In Class

A Day In Class – Studying interior design is more about tutorial session where you show your work to the lecturer and get feedback, improve and do better. Some times, you pin-up to the wall, where you share your work progress, ideas with other designers, it’s more like a real-world situation in bigger design firm.

Class can sometimes get bored, long, and slow. What to do? Nap, Candy Crush, surf the net, Whatsapp, looking bored, seriously concentrate at your friend’s work, or at the lecturer? What are you?

3 more weeks till the end of diploma in interior design, let’s do it yo! I am nervous, excited and busy.

1M4U ReachOut Concert @ Taylor’s University

1M4U ReachOut Concert @ Taylor’s University – 1M4U, or 1Malaysia For Youth, a volunteering organization for the youth under the brand-name of 1Malaysia. Well, it’s another thing by that Najib, trying to create a good image of giving back to the communities. Oh, I don’t know, I just don’t really like ‘1Malaysia’ slogan, as if there’s so many Malaysia? 2 Malaysia? 3 Malaysia?

Me, Connie, Hua Mic and Jason!

Don’t wanna talk about politics here, it’s frustrating, energy wastage and complicated. Let’s enjoy the free concert and see the Youtube stars I would say. It was a free concert, thanks to that Najib again, and the stars of the night that I was anticipating were the 3 Youtube stars all the way from the States – Jason Chen, David Choi and Chester See! Well, there’s Estelle and Taboo of Black Eyed Peas, but I was not that crazy about them.

This guy, a helper probably was trying to shoo people sitting on the stairs and go fill in the space in front of the stage, but no one bothers. Sitting on the stairs has a better view! But ass pain sia.

Put your hands up. OK.

Peoples on the balcony.

Decided to go take a walk, grab a drink during some loud rock band playing. Sunset, oh lovely.

I know, I know supporting the local musician is good, but the whole session before 8pm was filled with loud bang of rock band of Malaysia. It’s just screwing up my ears a lot, and rock band is not my type of thing. With some exception, Narmi was one sweet music group with nice vocal and music.

Everything before 8pm was just hot, boring, sweaty, stick and ass pain sitting on the stairs. Everything turned wild and crazy after 8pm where Jin & Ryan of Hitz.FM, Jason Chen, David Choi, Chester See, stormed the stage with uberly-awesome music and crazy shouting screaming like siaolang crowds. Ah, David Choi has a very shiok voice that I like.

Jin of JinnyboyTV is on stage, MC-ing, welcoming Jason Chen.

I was just pretty far away, but yeah, it’s Jason Chen on the stage.

Right after all 3 Youtuber performed, that Najib and Rosmah came on stage for a little appearance. O.o

It was fun until that Najib and Rosmah came up to the stage for a little appearance. Wa-really-piang-eh! Just, skipped that part and went for dinner. You know, the feeling is like when you are very high (anything that you can high, think yourself), then suddenly people come disturb you, that’s the feeling.

Rave party all night long. Awesome.

The party didn’t end that early, the Taylor’s University ground was turned into a rave party venue for the whole night and for the first time, Taylor’s University feels like a university to me. LOL. Yeah.

Being “Gung-Ho”!

Being “Gung-Ho”! – I’ve been totally hiatus for one month and the last time I was on this block was 6th November 2012. Well guys, I’m glad to say, I am alive, doing good, listening to some soft jazz music at this wee hour and feeling relax, chill and a little bit of sleepy.

#1. Midnight at studio, movie + work + laughter with the crazy friends from the senior class.

#2. When thing get stress up, it’s time to pump up some much, and put your hands up while you are sitting.

#3. Basically, this is one of my workspace, at 4am.

#5. I went home for like 5am everyday for almost a week. Sleep till the noon and get the work adrenalin pumping again. Somehow, productivity gets faster when due is coming up. Haha.

Life have been exciting and hectic before and my long 3 months and 2 weeks of holiday has just started. The past month was like a war, being “Gung-Ho” for my interior design project in university and it was to design an office. Well, it’s fun, lack of sleep, heart pounding fast every day as time shorten and got closer to the submission and final presentation. I was like spending 2 weeks at night in the campus too and my body timezone became GMT-8. =D I am kind of perfectionist, and that’s why, I stressed up my own-self. Not to the extend of 100% perfect, but at least 90%, perhaps.

Talking about “Gung-Ho”, it’s such a cute word that my friend Tee Jin in the UK commented on my Facebook wall. It got curious as the word doesn’t seems hokkien, or Mandarin to me, it does sounds Asian, but I’ve no idea what is it about. After some Googling around, it means — 1:Incredibly enthusiastic, zealous and dedicated // via UrbanDictionary. LOL. I still don’t really get it, a word borrowed from the Chinese by the U.S. Navy in the 1950s, and it somehow became a slang meaning of very enthusiastic. O.O. You may read more on Wikipedia.

#6. Study, legs up, that’s my way.

I am getting “Gung-Ho” of interior design of course, that’s the way life work isn’t it? Get interested, enthusiast in what you are doing, embrace it. Yeah.

So, let’s get this blog moving again and be “Gung-Ho” in what you are doing now.

White Mask, Concept Presentation

White Mask, Concept Presentation – Some random post on my recent happenings at college – Thursday, last. Had a presentation about concept for my latest interior project – office design To be honest, ‘concept’ is the most confusing thing for design student, agree?

I roughly get about 70% about what’s concept is, but generating a unique and meaningful one is still a problem. Hmm hmm. Anyway, don’t care already, will keep learning to improve myself. =D

The white mask people are back! I happened to see them during the last semester and now there’s the new batch of them around the commercial block in uni.

If I am not wrong, this is part of their drama/theater module or something. An assignment I guess.

Presentation, bull-shit session, show-off time is going on, with, one, two, three, four audience. =D Lady in white is my lecture.

The chilling gang.

The class.

Here’s me. Thumbs up for me.

Taylor’s University Seaside Campus

Taylor’s University Seaside Campus – As if… my school is located by the sea instead of a man-made lake right now. A good location for this is Penang. Penang has got no nice private university like this. =D

Don’t you think it’s fun? Bikini chicks, hot hot, water sports, resort-style education, extra course like lifeguard course, aqua-bio-stuff-stuff course, underwater course, swimming course, intercourse. LOL. Better place to get inspiration for architecture and design student.

Fun Time At Taylor’s University Photo Studio

Fun Time At Taylor’s University Photo Studio – I’ve taken an elective course in school for this semester – Digital Imaging. It’s more about learning some editing via Adobe Illustrator and Adobe Photoshop. There’s a few elective that we can choose, other than Digital Imaging, there’s Creative Thinking and Visual Culture. Most useful of all, of course is Digital Imaging.

Recent class, I get a chance to use the school’s photo studio, seems very well-equipped with various backdrop and studio lighting, tripod too. Despite having a good studio, my photography skill is not that good. Nevertheless it was a fun time pressing the shutter button in the studio. I have some problem focusing and getting the best lighting setting sometimes. My camera was on Shutter priority mode all the time, is it correct?

Anyway, the photos taken are actually for us to learn how to mask on Photoshop. Quite fun. Took a lot of photos, and check out some shots below.

Me…

Wesley Low, Seremban boy.

Dancer Arvin Tang, Medan boy who likes Malaysia so much.

Steve of Pahang!

Jia Hui, the Ipoh girl.

Gino and Moh.

Azhar as subject.

Do Project Until Party In Taylor’s University Studio

Do Project Until Party In Taylor’s University Studio – As the title said, we was working on a design project in the school’s studio, then it turned up to be a mini pizza party. Haha. It was 3 weeks ago where I was working on a Architecture History project with my teammate – Steve, Wesley, Jia Hui and Arvin from early morning until night.

You know, when you are working on the same thing for a long period of time, your mind will tend to become slow or stunned. It’s at some point that work productivity rate is so low that you can think of anything or proceed.

That time was dinner time and we ordered Pizza Hut Delivery as we were lazy to go out to buy food. It’s weekend and there’s not much food choices in the campus. It took me quite some times to successfully ordered my delivery online as now only I know that Pizza Hut Delivery is the new thing, it’s different from the old 1300-88-2525. The menu is different from dine-in too.

As we went to collect the pizza, we saw unwanted balloon from an event that has just ended. Instead of disposing, we just took it back to studio to add in some party feel for us to S.S. (Shiok Sendiri).

4 regular pizzas, 25 slices, 5 people, we finished it in less than 20 minutes. We were just too hungry. It was crazy, fun, but we completed our work after that.

Arvin, Jia Hui, me, Wesley, Steve.

One more week of holiday to go! It’s so short and not enough for me. Arghh.

Goose Lays Egg At Taylor’s University & Tortoise By The Lake

Goose Lays Egg At Taylor’s University & Tortoise By The Lake – Found some cool animal at the school’s lake today, I see many big size tortoise, swimming by the shore. This reminds me about rearing a tortoise when I was small. I wonder who put in the tortoise into the lake of Taylor’s. I bet they swim and eat LIKE A BOSS at there since people often throw food into the lake.

It’s gonna grow even bigger soon!

Another super cool and funny thing I found today is that the goose at the lake laid an egg! I wonder who it mate with. HAHA. OK, that’s not the point. We saw the goose sitting on her egg, waiting it to be hatched. So cool right? But the thing is…. the goose was not sitting on her egg, she’s sitting on a tennis ball!

Instead, we found the real egg at the other bushes. I was thinking, was the goose forgotten about her egg’s location, or someone was trying to trick the goose. Really special and funny. She had been sitting there for a few days, according to my friend. Hmmm.
