Some Old Photos At Taylor’s Hostel

Me. HAHAHA. V.

Dug up some old photos in my archive which I think I haven’t post it up here on my blog. I am back to Kuala Lumpur, Petaling Jaya, Bandar Sunway or whichever name you comfortable with. Haha. But then I am not staying in Taylor’s Hostel / Taylor’s Residence already because they suck, staying slightly further out of campus, about like 1KM away. =)

My housemate last time, Moh Wei Ding. Long time no contact already.

Stupid expensive lousy in-campus hostel.

Stupid security system where they want each resident close the door and scan the card one by one. Sucks. Might as well replace with some gate instead of fire door.

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

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

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

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.

At Taylor’s Library Before Going to KLCC Site Visit

It was two weeks ago, on a Wednesday where the Sem 1 July 2010 intake student of Diploma in Interior Design went on a site visit to KLCC. It’s part of the module, Introduction To Design where we get to go on site visit and then take photos and talk about the place eg. architecture, the landscape, the interior design and stuff. Fun.

So before going to KLCC, we spent time in the library after lunch. There’s like 2 hours and we didn’t know what to do and go. Library in Taylor’s University is so nice so we went there. Everyone was like playing with cameras because we were required to photograph stuff at the site visit and later put into a journal.

Zhi Sheng the magician guy in class trying to con Connie with some tricks. =D

Cher Huey.

I am starting to hate my Canon 400D. It’s so freaking ugly because I am a very hardcore user and I guess I have reach the limit already. I need a new camera badly, 60D, 3D? Hehe. My feel to photograph stuff has lessen already and I think it will only come back when I get a new camera. Saving and saving!

Anastasia and Nita hiding from the camera. Hehe.

I was pretty excited for my first visit because I haven’t been downtown for like two weeks after I came here. I am living somewhere outside town, it’s not as hectic as busy as colourful as town and I love downtown Kuala Lumpur a lot, where there’s many nice shopping malls and shops.

Wanyii, my classmate from Penang. Penang rocks! I miss Penang a lot.

Rasyid looked so tired.

That day was also first day of Ramadhan Month, the fasting month. So happy fasting to all the Muslim people.

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

I am in Taylor’s University College Library 24/7 Study Area

Hi guys, it had been quite a long break for me for blogging. Frankly, I was lazy on blogging, busy spending the last few weeks of holidays with friends and family in Penang and finally I am back to school. My 7 months long holiday had finally come to an end and it’s time to get my lazy butt off the chair. Less playing around and more work for me.

It’s not easy for me to get back to school and read because my brain has been suspended for 7 months, had not written much too. But one thing is still very good and that’s my finger and mouth. Everyday type and talk. Haha.

At this moment, my current location is in Taylor’s University College, Petaling Jaya, Selangor. I am no longer in Penang because I am now in college, attending Diploma in Interior Design here and at here, it started my new chapter of life, college campus life. Living inside the university is fun but going around the area is not easy because public transport and taxi here sucks to the max.

Wondering why I am at the library study area now? My hostel have no Internet access at the moment, it’s super new and no Internet sucks so I had to come here to online. Actually I did sign up a wireless broadband for myself temporary because sometimes I am lazy to go out of the room and want to watch Internet TV. I am here actually to accompany my housemate who don’t have Internet access to go online.

Internet speed here is pretty fast but sucks that I can’t watch online TV or do some P2P download. Sigh. It’s very crowded right here, very noisy and I believe all of them are craving for the Internet. I have a lot to share but the photos are in my camera. I promise I’ll be updating more and more soon.

Any Taylorian out there? =)
