  • A Day In Building Construction Class

    A Day In Building Construction Class

    Just some random posting of my photos which dated 2 weeks back. Haha. Why, why, why, I am so lagging behind? You know, I had so much time during high school, everyday is just like a holiday, but then when comes to college, everything changed, holiday has become assignment day.

    Currently in semester 2 of Interior Design course and it’s getting more and more hectic with assignment. The busy-ness is OK, I can’t complain anything because if there’s no work or too free, I felt it’s not worth after paying so much for the studies. Hehe.

    Building Construction is not really a design class, it’s about, err, buidling construction, the method, the framework, force and stuff. Not so detail because I am not in engineering or architecture, it’s just some light touches on the topic. =)

    Recently was busying making the plane construction which is making a surface out of paper which can support load up to 2kg.

    Man in black is the lecturer, pretty funny and friendly lecturer.


    Vincent from Vietnam.

    Building Construction class is long, from 1pm to 5pm, a 4-hours straight class, nonstop but usually finished an hour earlier. Haha.

    Studying in a small class course isn’t like going to the big lecture theater just to listen to the lecture, every of our courses are in a little class which get to interact two-way with the lecturer, just like what was back in the high school. I think this is pretty fun.


    The prototype of the plane construction with Jia Hui in background.


    Educational video about force. =D I think video is a very good learning method. Interesting.


    No, this is not a building construction material, it’s just my lunch of that day. Haha.

    Hello! Wish Japan can get well soon. =)

  • Random x Taylor’s Life in 2011

    Random x Taylor’s Life in 2011

    Hello guys. It seems like everytime I will start up my post with, “Sorry for not blogging lately and blablabla”. Haha. I am so slow and so out of blogging right now. One thing I want to say is I am not quitting my blog, I love this space, a space for me to share whenever I want, my photos, my life and everything. Just that the enthusiasm isn’t as strong as last time already. Lots of study stuff to do, interaction issues, play, girlfriend, friends and family.

    Anyway, I still gonna get this blog updating and keep nickchan.net on the net and Google search. =)


    Rasyid bought a new camera and shooting at the cake brought by Arvin from Indonesia.

    Since I am writing a post again, I want to give a shout out there, to those Chung Ling High School friends, old friends that haven’t meet for quite a long time, how are you guys? Hope you guys are doing good, so do I.


    The guy in blue is Rasyid, one of the first few person I met when I came to Taylor’s last year.

    Well, I am just gonna post something random, photos taken weeks ago at here about uni life in city of Kuala Lumpur.


    The very famous Farah. Haha. I don’t wanna talk about the famous-ness here. Lalala.

    So, it’s a new semester, moved into the second semester of the course and everything is getting on track, and assignment and homework are getting heavier and harder and more sleepless night coming ahead. I think reorganize and rethink my way of study, I think study shouldn’t be hard and suffering, it should be fun. Study smart?


    Hello Anastasia! People always just don’t know where her home country is, Belarus, the one between Poland and Russia.

    I believe in college and university, there’s always a lecturer that’s very picky, troublesome and perfectionist, which makes work harder. Everyone hates, dislikes or better saying, uncomfortable with him, but I believe he is bringing something good to us. Hopefully he will turn me into a good designer. Do you have a lecturer that’s gives you many troublesome task?


    The over high self-confidence MJ from Iran which having a Bieber Fever right now.

    “Don’t be sad or angry if your design/idea get rejected because in the real world, it’s a very common stuff, people only pick one for the end product, and afterall, it’s still your design.” Pretty cool huh?


    Vincent from Vietnam

    In uni, I learned to swear in Vietnamese, “Dit mei mai” something something, which I don’t want to tell you what it means, because I am unsure about it. Haha. I know it’s “Dit” something. Haha. One good thing about coming over here to study is I met people from different places, both local and International. It’s quite a good experience knowing people from everywhere.

    Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday are my study days. That’s all, yet assignment and work filled my weekend. Time management is really an important thing at this time, I am very poor in managing time and hopefully someone can guide me through it. Hehe. So tomorrow I’ll be having class from 10-12. That’s all, but then work. Aduhainya.

    Ok, chao! Happy college and university-ing. By the way, Taylor’s has a nice homemade ice cream stall at V Cafe. Yum yum.

  • MSID 5Belas Interior Design Student Saturday at Taylor’s University

    MSID 5Belas Interior Design Student Saturday at Taylor’s University

    Yo people, this is kinda belated post where this happened last month. I have been lazy, sleepy and blablabla reason, but guess you guys don’t wanna hear my crap. Haha. So I’ll talk about MSID 5Belas Interior Design Student’s Saturday OK? =0

    So as you know I am a Interior Design student right now at Taylor’s University, just done one semester there and I am so grateful that I got a chance to join the MSID 5Belas ID Student’s Saturday, this is actually an annual event by MSID (Malaysia Society of Interior Designers) for the college and university to get-together, join competition, have fun and interact, and also make friends. This year, the host and organizing school is my school, Taylor’s University.

    I am not part of any worker, some asked me to be the photographer, but I rather to be free and easy, I joined a competition at there and that’s Amazing Race.

    It’s a Saturday and the whole thing starts as early as 9am until closing and prize giving ceremony at 12.30am. Yeah, it’s a long more than 12 hours event. Really tiring that day, but still a good experience for me. Many, many, many people were there and there were 15 participating institution. Got UCSI, UiTM Perak, UiTM Shah Alam, Saito College, Limkokwing, KBU, Alfa and I don’t remind already. Haha. I wonder why Penang’s Equator Academy of Art was not there and also the famous One Academy, why?

    Morning was like opening ceremony, then some random workshop and afternoon was like competitions and at night also competition plus performance. Almost everything was competition.

    Initially I wanted to join the short film and the theme was “BIOSPHERE”, but then I’ve lost my inspiration so I quit. OMG. Some ask me to join again this year. I’ll see. Hehe. What I like about that day was not participating in Amazing Race, I tell you the game sucks, but the fun thing was it’s ALL FREE. Haha. Free food, lousy a bit but I finally had a moneyless day in Kuala Lumpur.

    I’ll list some competition here: Montage Design, Short Film, Sony Videologue, Banting Design, Residential Design, Commercial Design, Fashion Design, Amazing Race, Graffiti Art, Furniture Design, Lighting Design, Installation. Yeah, it’s all about design, sometimes I wonder what’s fashion design have to do with Interior Design, but afterall we are design student, we design almost everything. =D

    Well, Amazing Race is something that you think it’s fun but it’s not! You actually turned out panting, gasping for extra air and want to rest more because it’s about running all the time. Marathon from place to place. It started with running here and there to look for a key to unlock the padlock for the next clue. After running to and flo for many times, the next stop was to the library to look for A book.

    The book-looking was a easy task and after that we have to run off campus to a temple which is like 15-20 minutes walk away under the super hot sun to get the next clue. We should have drove there. Then we need to go to Sunway Pyramid which is not in a walking distance, so we took 2 cab as we have 8 members in our team. One thing, we were given RM50 per team for the game which is the fun part.

    At Sunway Pyramid, we searched for the pickled cucumber, bought it and eat all of it. It tasted good at first but it got disgusting later. Though successfully finish it up.

    Last task was to play the archery. Not easy as holding the bow with left hand because I am a righty. Need a lot of strength but still manage to aim and shoot. This was fun and should go and play some other time. Steady hand and sharp eyes are needed. Well, taxi back campus and pitstop. Started last, but ended team 10. Not bad already.

    The fu
    nny part of the day was the Fashion Design competition. The day’s theme was BIOSPHERE, I have no idea what that mean until now. It’s something environment, recycle and green stuff. Looking at the model’s make up and the creativity of their designer, I felt halloween. Haha.

    But I did see some simplicity and minimalist nice. However, since people more like into complicated stuff, an underwater zombie won that day.

    Other highlights for the rest of the days was just taking look at some lighting design and enjoy the Talent Time performance at night. Each institution came up with their performing team and perform. Simple as that and we enjoy the show. Woo.

    I don’t know why my school didn’t really get many prizes that day, was it because that we were the organizer or ? Hmm. We’ll see on the next MSID 16 this year. =D

  • Last Day Of Semester 1 in Diploma In Interior Design

    Last Day Of Semester 1 in Diploma In Interior Design

    Time flies people, so fast my semester one of my study is coming to an end already. This week is week 14 which is the last study week but I only went to one day of class which is on the Tuesday to attend CK’s Building Materials class. I skipped other classes and some classes are already off and what I have to do now is to rush my assignments, lots of it and prepare two exam papers which is coming in two weeks time.

    Finally, after so much of drawing and hands-on stuff, I can get myself into a study mood, memorize, writing, like what I did during high school. Hands-on and drawing is actually harder than exam to me because I am kinda bad in art stuff. Hehe. So this two weeks, I’ll just stuck inside my hostel and campus, just to get things done, hopefully there will not much white hair pops out of my head and stuff.

    I went back to Penang last week for Deepavali, holiday not celebration and came back on Monday, then I only attended class on Tuesday. Then that’s all. Work time all the time. So went to take a photos with CK, my lecturer, somehow I still have to meet him in the next semester and more work from him. OMG.

    Have been going to the divisional office quite many times lately, mainly to ask about holidays, and academic calendar stuff. Haha. One really crazy thing that I found out is that my next semester starts somewhere March next year.

    Woo. I have 3 months holiday. Really crazy. Haha. According to the staff, my program is now follow the academic calendar of Australian education system where it is summer holiday now. But then after that I have to study for 7 months straight until end of year. Not bad too. So I have a lot of free time do many stuff, I gonna work! MONEY. Hehe.

    On the other post, I gonna tell you something about Taylor’s Residence or the hostel right inside the campus of Taylor’s University which I am residing in. I am very not satisfy with the staying here and I going to move out soon! Hehe.

    A single super small room at Taylor’s Residence is RM760 and the rental rate is going to increase soon. Truly not recommended. =) I want to look for somewhere with apartment facilities but then it’s gonna be next year since I have a long holiday.

    Afternoon of Tuesday, I went to my friend’s place to check out his magic trick. Really pro. Haha. Good morning by the way.

  • Building Materials Class Visit To Ikano Power Centre and Ikea

    Building Materials Class Visit To Ikano Power Centre and Ikea


    Siao lalas.

    My lecturer, Mr CK Foo loves to call Ikano Power Centre as Ikeano, it’s the combination of Ikano and Ikea. Really funny of him. So somewhere last month, we went to visit to Ikeano, no it’s Ikano for a study research trip. Our task was, shopping which was one of it and another one was look for a space and examine the building material. Sounds fun right? Not really.

    It’s a group work thingy and I found my group member and they were Arvin, Anastasia, Nita and Wanyi. Unfortunately, Wanyi couldn’t join us that day.


    Zhi Sheng.

    What we actually did at there is just walk walk, shoot shoot, touch touch the floor, the wall, the ceiling and wait the security come and chase us away. Yes, we did get the security come and chase us away when we were taking photographs at the bridge, they just don’t bother us as students from college. I have no idea why photograph are not allow. Not interested in planning a bomb also, even if I do, I just drop it anywhere without planning, BOMB.


    Arvin and Anna. =D


    Anastasia and Nita.

    We were given 4 hours there but we already finished our stuff in an hour time. So we spent another hour eating and an hour talking and another hour walking around a.k.a. shopping.


    Connie.


    Damn ugly doll.


    Kevin.

    Ikea, Ikano, The Curve was so so so quiet during the weekdays. The one who make it happenings was like us.


    Steve.


    Zhi Sheng and Aseel.

    =D

  • A Monday In Taylor’s University and Street Market

    A Monday In Taylor’s University and Street Market

    Here’s another update about my university life. My typical Monday’s class is English class from 10-12 and Introduction to Design class from 1-3.

    It’s all 2 hours class and I pretty dislike English class because it made me feel like going back to high school. Not saying that I hate high school, I love it a lot, it just that I don’t like going to English lesson again. Haha. Ok, my English sucks by the way, especially on the grammar part and word usage. Anyway, I can read and write. =)

    Uni is pretty happenings this week as there’s something like street market, selling cloths, food, game stall and stuff. I have no idea what even has going on and we just keep calling it the “pasar pagi” or morning market.


    Kebab!

    I saw a booth where there’s many replica made out of recyclable item like newspaper and stuff. It seems very cool and I thought they were selling it.

    But actually it’s some sort of model search, or they call it as G&H Faces Search. Free photo taking with any frame there and get a free print and magazine of Faces. Then you will be part of the search. =D


    Mine, Zhiinn’s and Lai Quen’s. =D

    I was not really interested in the search, but what I more interested was getting the free print of my photo. Haha. That’s all.


    Wesley from Seremban, Steve from Pahang. I call them Shuai Shuai. Haha.

    Then I went to Student Life Centre, a place where students hang out or relax, there’s board game there, piano, pool, guitar, foosball, and I played Chinese chess with Wesley and Steve. Haven’t play it for quite some times already. Fun indeed!

  • Building Materials x Golf

    Building Materials x Golf

    Hello people, I don’t know why I am sharing about Building Materials class again. You think I very like the class? Haha. So-so only. I like drawing and design class more. =D

    It was a tutorial class. Tutorial about our project so it was free time and we have got nothing to do at there in the class and it was cold. Talk, talk, talk only.


    Vincent from Vietnam.


    Pui Wooi from Sabah.

    Then suddenly, Wesley took a paper trash ball, and a T square then started acting like playing golf. LOL.

    HAHAHA.

  • Where Is The Internet at Taylor’s University Hostel?

    Where Is The Internet at Taylor’s University Hostel?

    When I first moved into Taylor’s Residences, the apartment hostel located in-campus of Taylor’s University, there’s no Internet access I was told that the service will be ready by end of August. Okay, I subscribe to DiGi Broadband while waiting for it.

    When end of August came, there’s no Internet service. Sucks. A new notice were given up that they were upgrading the signal strength and stuff and Internet access was promised to ready before October. Fine.

    Obviously it’s just some stupid reason to cover their slowness. Because they only install the modem/router/access point thing in the middle of September.

    Now is already October right? Almost middle of the month already and still no Internet access here! WTF and pissed off by their service and promises. Now they don’t dare to give us an exact date of when it will be available. Everything is just so slow. Taylor’s University is a good school, but the service is really bad.

    Complain? I did already and I would like to write on my blog and share with you guys. Sigh.
