Faculty Night 2011

Early this year, the student members of the Faculty of Built Environment decided to organize the first Faculty Night ever. Yes, usually we only have the Pre-graduation Night in our course but this is the first time we are doing it among the entire faculty, which consists of the Landscape Architecture, Urban Planning, Quantity Surve, Science Constructions and Architecture course students.

 

The theme for the night was Simple and Elegant. To begin with the ceremony, leaders from each different courses are called up the stage to pass over ‘a little something’ to the juniors. Most of them gave shirts which I think it's rather uncreative. Tiong, our representative, handed a big T-Square to our junior Levasko.

Officiating the night

The venue for the night was at Pulai Springs, the same place I had my Co-Q's Penampilan Diri test last time. During the registration, all of us were all given a random number along with a gift to be handed over to the person who is holding the same number. Kinda like an ice breaking game.

That is Choon Wah and the girl he found. Everybody was looking to their 'partner'.

And Jenny found the other half.

The partner that I found is a girl who is from the same hometown as Tiong, Sg. Petani. We greeted each other before I passed her the gift. And lucky enough, Sing Ning got back her own number. Therefore she didn't have to go around looking to people.

Throughout the dinner they were games and some performances from the juniors. Most of them are dancing and singing. *yawn* However, one of our junior did an amazing video introducing the seniors. At least our course is doing something different. Well done, Levasko!

Game session

The nominees of the faculty king and queen

During the dinner we were asked to vote for the Faculty King and Queen but the results was ridicolous. How could the nominees are not from the final year?! I can't even remember who is the King and Queen of the night. Nevermind not important. So when it was about the end, we all sneaked out the hall for some photo sessions. Here are some of the shots:

After the night ended around 10pm but Tiong suggested we hit the club for second round since we were all in the mood and it's not easy we could gather together. All of us coudn't agree more so we headed to Cabana at The Zon.

That was when the real party started

Lastly, a group shot. We should do this more often.

End of Semester

IT looks like I only blog once every semester. Yes, the sem has finally come to the end! I've just submitted my studio work and the topical study report which took me two semester to complete.

Hard cover bound report. Satisfaction! =)

Basically for this topical study report we had to study and to do a research on a topic we picked related to our course. Well for me, this is the topic that I chose:

It is something like a thesis report. As for this I'm already suffer enough cuz I don't like to write reports. How la I'm gonna survive my thesis year next sem.

One copy for the lecturer and the other for my supervisor, Dr Zin

Nevertheless, I'm glad its all over!

Then we have our studio work. This semester we are in the urban unit therefore it covers a larger scale and context compare to the previous ones. My given site is in Ringlet, Cameron Highlands (where we visited there early of the semester to do our site analysis) and for the final project I'm doing a market place at the particular site.

The results/hardwork/outcome:

TODAY. Is my birthday.

 Me and Tiong

 

Tiong shares the same birth date as me. Many thanks to those who celebrated for us nearby the studio.  And Sia Fern always appear at the wrong time and at the wrong place. Nevertheless it was a great surprise attempt ;-)

 

The crazy people in studio (Jason Mraz and the bride)

Thank you guys and girls.

Pet Society Furniture

THERE was a time when many of my course mates were addicted to the Pet Society application from Facebook. I was the one of them as well. Everyday we shower our pets, feed them, bring them for a house visit, go for races in the stadium, buy gifts for them and the list goes on.

If you play that for quite some time, you might find this cute little egg-liked chair shown below familiar. It is one of expensive item selling in the shop.

That's my pet, Jitty in Dayvi's house

And two days ago when my workbase were visiting around some show houses around JB, we saw a chair which look exactly like the one in Pet Society.

..except that this one is hanging from the top

Me, Han Chee and Jenny especially were so excited to see the egg-shaped chair and couldn't resist to take as many photos with it. Normally cameras are not allowed in show houses but well, in this case we didn't care much. The chair is waaay too cute and rare!

I can even hug it. Like a dinosaur egg!

Lastly, a group photo of the family with the new-born baby.

Weird, the daughter is born with her clothes on already.

SOMETIMES we need to have some privacy. There are many things I would like to blog about but it will be not so nice if I am going to write it here. I guess I have to keep it just for myself and people I feel like sharing with.

^^

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Just got back from our dancing class not long ago. Today the instructor (I still have no idea what is his name) taught us all the steps for the Cha Cha Cha dance. That means we are able to dance continuously throughout the music.

One two cha cha cha

However, there are still some that we need to work on, especially on the couple-together-turning part. You could easily mix up the steps especially when the music is fast.

Someone not paying attention =p

Hmmp?

This looks nice!

Yesterday, four of us went for the practice session. The instructor wasn't there so we could do it freely on our own. Here are some posing pics of Tiong and Yee Wei:

Eee..don't take!

Who is this guy?

Just another random post. I gotta get back to my studio works. Monday is the pre-submission and I still have quite some things not done yet. Concepts, changes of plans and site layout. I know I have been slacking lately...

One Two Cha Cha Cha

YESTERDAY I went for a social dance class with few of my coursemates. It was Yee Wei, the active girl who initiated this dance thing. Previously I have joined a dancing class before with Khong Jin's uncle but that was just a free trial lesson. Last night there were eight of us so it made up to four couples. For the first class, we learned the cha cha! =)

The dance was scheduled to start at 7pm but slight mishap happened to my car and we were half an hour late for the class. Therefore the instructor asked us to come again and 10.30pm which he specially arranged just for us beginners. That would be an easy start for us rather than joining the existing class.

The dance was not so easy as it looks. First, the instructor taught us some basic step and a while later he moved on to the harder one. After a few workouts all of us were starting to sweat and feeling hot. I thought that the dance studio was gonna have air-conditioned but sadly they only have ceiling fans. Well, for a RM60/month class, I guess that is we could expect.

Yesterday was really an unfortunate day for me. Having flu, late for studio, car ran out of petrol, frustruted with 'species', DiGi sucky line, dinner arriving late and sneezing non-stop while waiting for my food. Suffer man I tell you.

However, after all the bad things which happened to me, I still had a wonderful moment at the end of the day!

It was just...wonderful! ^^

From the Angels

THERE were nine small boxes of gift on my studio place. Each of every box there is a guy's name on it. Looks like the cupid has sent a little surprise to the single guys in my course.

Only for the singles

That includes me

So I distributed those boxes to all those guys the moment I went back to the hostel. And guess what?! All of them were very excited and surprised! Some even said it was their first time getting gift on Valentine’s Day. Happily taking out camera and non-stop posing for photos.

Ahh…how nice it is to receive a gift despite being a single man. It may be small, but it does make our day brighter! =)

...and crazier

Thank you so much!

*heart heart*

Happy Chap Goh Mei!

TODAY is the last day of Chinese New Year.

Few days back, on the 10th day of CNY we guys had yee sang in Teck Yong's room. It is one of the thing we normally do in the hostel during this time. =)
