Food Kiosk Project Presentation Day!

Arvin, Jia Hui, Wesley and Me! My group member all the time.

Food Kiosk Project Presentation Day! – Finally, I can get a very short break now after working for so many weeks for the Food Kiosk design project for my Interior Design Studio subject. Just had my presentation yesterday, not perfect, but satisfied with what I’ve done. Although there’s critics from the lecturers, I take them as advice for improvement in future project and assignments.

Arvin, Jia Hui, Steve, Wesley and Rasyid.

Fana, Nita, Hanan, Mellysa.

The main thing that I’ve learned recently is 3D rendering. I love Google Sketchup + Vray, they are awesome. But then rendering 3D with Vray is a very hard thing because the setting is very hard to understand. It’s just like C++ programming and stuff. A lot of trial and error and trying and testing to make a perfect one. I am still learning and need to learn from the pro, perhaps take an external course (any idea where?). =D By the way, 3Dsmax sucks. Haha.

Moh and Ken.

The presentation was fun. Spent quite a lot for printing, but love what I’ve printed. I was nervous before my turn but it went fun during my turn to explain and present. Yay!

Ana, Zetty, Fahdran and Zhi Sheng.

MJ and Zhen.

Well, happy short 1-week holiday to my classmate, I am going to the most awesome place in Malaysia – Penang tomorrow, my home! And after the break, gonna get busy again with another project. Busy college life, and it’s fun.

One more thing, here’s… me! =D

=D

Blue Sky Morning @ Taylor’s University

Blue Sky Morning @ Taylor’s University – The sky was pretty blue today in the morning, I took out my little camera (Panasonic Lumix LX5) and snap a few shots. Ahh, I love blue sky day so much, but I hate the heat and sun during noon. School life has been a bit boring because I am doing the same thing over and over again. So wish that the presentation for current project can be get over as soon as possible so I can proceed with the next design project.

The road that I walk everyday.

How’s life to you lately? =)

Pasar Malam-Style In Taylor’s University

Pasar Malam-Style In Taylor’s University – University was pretty happenings last week for two days. As early as 9am, the Char Koay Teow uncle has already started his job frying koay teow. I don’t know it’s nice or not, I also don’t really have much confidence in him, but I did see many people queuing up for it.

What’s happening was the Borneo Jazz Festival brought in a few hawker-style food stall to Taylor’s for 2 days to promote the Borneo Jazz Festival which is happenings now. I have no idea, the event is this weekend but they promote it few days before, how can people here have time to buy air tickets to fly there? Anyway, it’s nice to see the food stalls here, it feel lively, awesome, fun, shiok, and shuang, although I didn’t buy anything. Hahaha. I was too lazy to queue is another reason.

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.

#instagram Updates 9/04/12

#instagram Updates 9/04/12 – Some updates on what I am up to lately – ASSIGNMENTS! PROJECTS! I don’t know why, I am not hating projects right now, I do not really favor them, but then I feel I am OK with them, I feel that it’s my responsibility to do well in the projects, I feel that to make my school fee paid for freaking expensive Taylor’s University to be worth, I have to study well.

I want to blog, I want to write, I want to post, but I don’t have time. My computer screen are occupied by ~~Facebook~~, and CAD (Computer Aided Design) software all the time. Yay. Anyway, follow me on Twitter (@nicholaschan), I update, everyday. =D Lot’s of Instagram photos too!

How are you enjoying your school or working life?

Photograph Scan, Book Fair Bee, One-Leg Goose & Brooklyn Bridge

Photograph Scan, Book Fair Bee, One-Leg Goose & Brooklyn Bridge – Back to school, back to university, it’s second week of the new semester and I am very busy already, many assignments to settle and I really have to manage time well. This semester, the timetable is kinda uncomfortable because my class starts at 8am on Monday to Wednesday.

Imagine 8am class, I have to wake up early and I don’t get sufficient sleep everyday. That’s no good to my health. I know I can sleep early to achieve the standard 8 hours of sleep but then I couldn’t do it, I can’t afford to sleep early, I have plenty of work to do, I want to be A Star student. Hahaha. Anyway, class have been going smoothly, it’s fun, it’s tiring, it’s OK, it’s not-bad, it’s still good. Well, let’s check out some interesting photos that I have taken few days ago.

1. Technology is really awesome, now everyone does not need to copy notes on the screen anymore, it just take your camera, point and shoot, and scan. That’s it. Simple as that. It’s funny to see that when everyone is standing in front of the screen.

2. Little reading bee mascot was walking around campus to promote the Taylor’s Book Fair. There was a book fair at the library, a few bookstores were there, but I did not buy anything, I don’t really read, I prefer design magazine. How about you?

3. 1-legged goose! ???? It actually hid its leg and stood on one-leg under the heavy rain, I wondered, why?

4. Followed my friend to the Taylor’s ADP (American Degree Program) office, it’s pretty cool up there, it’s like school in the USA where students can hang out around here. I believe it’s a place for ADP student to wait and chill before the next class.

5. Feel free to hang out here for as long as you want ……….

6. Found Brooklyn Bridge of New York here at the office! I want this in my room.

On the other hand……

Are you guys going to any holiday? It seems to be a while that I did not travel, the last place I traveled was Singapore a few weeks ago, and I am planning to go else where during my next holiday, perhaps Taiwan, or maybe the USA or UK. I am dreaming a lot. Haha, because a lot of friends of mine are in UK, I want to go there to find them and travel around, but my dream place would be the USA.

Anyway, I did actually plan many holiday, but then they normally turns up to be a last minute holiday, ‘plan ahead’ doesn’t seems to work on me. Your itinerary can be plan last minute, but the flights booking shall be made early, else it will be very expensive. Last time, my brother did not book the flights to Los Angeles early, ended up a very expensive flight rate. So, buy your flight ticket early. =D

Almost Sunset At Taylor’s University

Almost Sunset At Taylor’s University – I am now back to the big city of Klang Valley (or common to others Kuala Lumpur), I don’t really get to see nice sunrise and sunset by the beach like I get to when I was in Penang. You know Klang Valley is a valley, the nearest shore with sandy beach is an hour away, Sepang Gold Coast, that’s far!

Well, the sunrise and sunset seeing is now in the city. Recently, I just got back my Tamron 17-50mm f2.8 lens from the service centre, to try out this very-long-didn’t-use lens, I took my tripod and went to the highest floor at Taylor’s University to take photos of the sunset. It was not near to dusk yet, it’s almost sunset.

At the hall way of Block E, level 8.

Nice clear blue sky after some super heavy rain which caused the Klang flood, but then the clear sky didn’t result in a round egg yolk style sunset, I realised round egg yolk sun only visible during hazy day. Nevertheless, those few shots were satisfying, I’m gonna go discover more nice location to see sunrise and sunset.

Crane at Taylor’s University, heard there’s a construction of multistory carpark is on going.

What a nice sky and sun.

Please introduce me too, perhaps go to Port Dickson for sunset watching. =D

Jack Neo Director Was At Taylor’s University

Jack Neo Director Was At Taylor’s University – Do you know the hit Singaporean movie – I’m Not Stupid? The director of that movie was here at Taylor’s University yesterday, promoting his new film We Not Naughty, which partially filmed in Taylor’s campus too!

Wooo! I am looking forward to watch the film, some friend went to be keh-leh-fair in the film too.

Yesterday, he was in Taylor’s University, selling movie tickets, and giving out free poster and autograph, cool right? But I didn’t buy too because I don’t know I want the poster for what use.

Are you looking forward like me do?

Sunday At Taylor’s University In Super Wide Angle

#1

Sunday At Taylor’s University In Super Wide Angle – On a fine lovely Sunday, I mounted my super wide angle and headed to school to meet up with Wesley and Steve to discuss about some group project. Then I snap along with my almighty Sigma 8-16mm for Canon.

#2.

Haha, very random right? I wasn’t into serious shooting, so it was just simply shoot around the campus and to show you how Taylor’s University actually looks like in case you never see it before.

#3.

Shooting with wide-angle is indeed fun but sometimes at the widest open, it makes picture look weird and long and, distorted, perhaps is because of the 8mm focal super duper wide.

#4.

#5.

#6.

This super duper wide angle lens, I mainly use it for shooting interior shots. Do you like super wide angle?

A Week In Taylor’s University #3

#1: One of our drawing.

A Week In Taylor’s University #3 – This is the 3rd series of “A Week In Taylor’s University”. This is not my 3rd week in the school though, it’d been I don’t know how many weeks already, I only know I am now in semester 3, closing to the end of semester in about a month time. Sometimes I think, my tuition fees is very expensive, at about RM9,000 per semester (after scholarship discount for me is RM6,000-RM7,000), I get 14 weeks of study week. 14 weeks total up not even half a year or 4 months. In the short 14 weeks, it’s already RM9,000. Expensive.

Now I only realised that other school does collect almost the same amount of school fees, but somehow they get 3 semester a year, which total up 7-9 semester. Woww.

#2. Convival Bazaar by The Design School. I wonder why we, Interior Design was not invited to join. Hmm.

Last week was beautiful because after a busy week before and submission, we finally got some rest for, a few days, but the coming weeks will be busy again because the next assignment and project have been issued.

The school was kinda happening last week with bazaar and fair going on in the school, selling food and accessories. It’s really crowded and, fun.

#3: Gaming session at the Convival Bazaar.

#4: More gaming session.

#5: The stalls at The Convival Bazaar.

#6: Treated myself a cup of Chatime bubble tea after submission and sleepless night.

#7: It’s a Chatime Jasmine Green Tea Mousse with Pearl. Yums.

Weather turned better, not so rainy, not so wet, it was just nice with some cloudy days, which then make sitting by the lakeside comfortable and nice.

#8: The ducks were dating by the lake. So sweet.

#9: The interior design gang.

#10: Kendrick in blue.

#11: Kendrick and Arvin.

#12: Fishy! So many fishes in the lake right now.

#13: Trying to attract the fishes.

#14: CK and Sofia.

#15: My team, me, Steve, Jia Hui and Wesley.

#16: Our presentation board. Well, it wasn’t a good one because the lecturer said the arrangement was not good. It didn’t go with the flow. What I wanted to show is like telling a story which start of with a book cover, and the details and so on. Think out of the box. But she not likey this way.

#17: Jia Hui, Wesley, me.

#18: Inside of the model.

It’s pretty much just another week, didn’t take much photo on the week too because was just trying to give myself a break, relax myself after a tiring week. Everything went fine, smooth and lazy.

But Thursday wasn’t that nice to me because that class was from 8am-7pm, technically. What went wrong was in between 2.30pm-5pm was really very boring, it was the longest break ever as lecturer dismisses super duper early. Sigh.

#19: Another bazaar thingy, the Taylor’s Young Entrepreneurs’ Day by Taylor’s Business School.

#20: Nasi Lemak 2.5. LOL.

#21: Really crowded. People mountain people sea.

#22: More people.

#23.

#24: Taylor’s Las Vegas with no casino and chicks.

#25: Playboy Mansion here with lots of bunny.

#26: Chinese herbal tea, anyone?

#27: Chinese desserts! Yum yum.

#28: Teddy bear.

#29: From the balcony.

#30: Looking down during evening.

#31: Sunset at Taylor’s!

After class, Wesley, Jia Hui and I went to the balcony at 7th floor, Block E to enjoy the sunset for a little while before heading home. The traffic was bad on Thursday evening, really bad. Took me more than 30 minutes to reach home which is usually about 10 minutes.

New week ahead! Looking forward to! As the week after this will be a short semester break. Yeah!
