The start of the Holidays pt 2...

So to start off the second part for this outing, we started walking back to Sasaki at 615. Talk about efficiency and being punctual for something for the first time. For those out there who don't know, we architecture students are famous for being "early". Well, we reached Sasaki 5 minutes before they opened. We were the only 5 who were there early so we decided to start without the others. How "nice" of us huh?

Lucky for us.... We went there on the right day. Christmas promotion just started yo.. RM 53 for all you can eat buffet dinner. Compared with Jagoya, the ambiance and the food at Sasaki, when we walked in looked fresher though there were not as many selections.

Those who came early.

So we started without the others. Who cares right? If the food is staring at us and we have to pay RM53 we should just start and end at the time limit they give to us. So the 5 of us started at 630 p.m. sharp, taking all the beautiful and delicious Sashimi and Sushi.... And not to forget, snapping pictures of it as well.

Yummy yummy... And fresh too (to my taste la)

Can you believe I had 7 fresh/raw Oysters? SO NICE!! Heavenly... But got sick after the 6th so no more after the 7th.

The rest arrived an hour later because of the Traffic Jam. Thank Goodness we went early. By the time they arrived, the 5 of us had already finished 3 rounds of Sashimi and Sushi but we paused to settle the tummy before everyone arrived. It became rowdier when most of them arrived. Najat, Becca, Huei Liq, Amman and Zaki were stuck at Federal Highway till 9 P.M. (sad case)

Here are some of the shots of the night. Many more in the hard disk...

YUMMY YUMMY. Everyone enjoying themselves. Darren showing the thumbs up.

Too full......

And finally...

Our final group pictures as a student of Taylors Diploma in Architecture Technology.

Part 3 coming up.. I think there will be 3-4 parts for these outings. Too many pictures and moments to share.

Just a short note:

Thanks guys and gals for the friendship and Lameship for the past 2 years (well, since I only really got to know you during our second year after all the shyts during the first year). What I learnt that is we need to have true friends to go through all these hardships of what we are going to call life in the future. You guys have been an inspiration to me. Your works and your idea, Your help and your friendship.. Those are the things I feel I will cherish and inspire me in the future. Daphne and Sherman, I know you guys didn't make it to our outing but you are still part of us. Well, *bow* Thank you everyone, Lameville+ABC+Chii+Qian Pei+Many others (yes, our group grown immensely) and may you all have bright futures as Architects, artists, designers and etc.

Hope to see you all in the future wherever you may be. God bless and really going to miss you all. See you at the Graduation Ceremony in January.

Oh happy days....

After 3 years at Taylors College, which is 6 semesters in SABD, the January and March Batch of 2007 have finally completed their final work and hopefully, I will see all of them (including myself that is) at the Graduation Ceremony in January. It has been a tough, stressful but meaningful journey through this course just to get a Diploma. Next year will be a new year where everyone will be pursuing their degrees overseas. Going to miss them a lot. Well, this post is not about teary goodbyes and sayonaras. It is in fact my final post on studio works at SABD, Studio 4 2009. The crit which happened just the morning before started with me being very excited, then disappointed because all the external crits couldn't make it so only the lectures from our college will do so, then devastated after my presentation ( I guess I expect too much or it was a bad idea to choose motorcycles as a tourism thing in Malaysia in the first place. I really don't know. But Mr. Keith didn't really like the idea for me doing the niche and also other comments which I will not say.) but it elevated back to Happy and crazy at night when we had our Japanese Buffet Dinner at Sasaki (pictures have to wait till Hau Yee post it up) and FULL. So, I am so over the comments and May the long holidays begin.

So for the last time as a Taylors' student, may I introduce to you my presentation board and my Portfolio for Studio 4 2009. Will post up and explain the building more when I have the time.

Well, thats all for now. Will update more once I am refreshed.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

Intergrated Project Video...

Took me one week to finally upload the video and resolve the audio issue for the video. Somehow Youtube removed the audio due to some copyright issue. Oh well, the new music is just as good (I hope). Do enjoy! Once again, thanks a lot team for the hard work. I miss I.P. Days.... All the meetings and the lunch and get togethers after. Good luck in your exams and final studio work.

To those who are having holiday now. HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

Helping out......

This post is supposed to go up so long ago but due to my busy schedule, I only managed to post it up now. On the 4th of November, we were recruited to help save a booth which was bending beyond control by our fellow Taylorians who were showcasing it to the whole of Malaysia. In the mist of all the submissions and stress, they can't get out of this so we might as well help. That is what friends do right? Well, we went to One U shopping mall at around 230 P.M. after our lecture series to save the collapsing booth to find out that...

One of the members was sleeping on the couch... This is what happens when you don't sleep for days - You will sleep anywhere.. Even in Public.

The booth was somehow bending because of the pulling force of the bands.

"HELP US!!!" The members of the booth designers.

Before we started, we went to look at the other booths from different architecture universities in Malaysia.

How models can communicate to even children...

The only other booth (which won).. Yea, somehow there were only 2 booths designed and Taylors didn't win. Sorry guys but you all did your best and I thought you all will win.

Before we started the repairs, the team was interviewed by Taylor's "reporters".

And Li Qun was explaining about the ideas and the construction of the booth.

It took us 3 hours to fix the booth. But in the end, it works and looks the way they wanted it to look. The space and ambiance created by the booth to showcase the works of the students of SABD was very interesting. Very warm and yet witty. Let the pictures tell the story.

The two female designers of the group.

What the booth is all about.

I love this...

How the models are held and showcased.

The booth... Finally fixed.... Sorry if I promoted it too late... But overall.. I love it! HAHA... Sorry to hear you all didn't win. I know you all deserve it.

Intergrated Project. 14 weeks of hard work.

On August 2009, an unlikely bunch of people came together to create 2 companies with the names N.I.C.E Designs (architectural firm) and T.G.I.N. Sdn. Bhd. (Contractor company) to "compete" with 7 other groups of companies to design an art gallery for our clients/lecturers Mr. Keith and Pn. Habizah. After 14 weeks of hard work and meetings with the clients, T.G.I.N and N.I.C.E would like to present to the world, "THE GALLERY", which if build, will be along Jalan Raja Chulan (in our dreams that is) but please, enjoy and

I would like to take this opportunity to thank the entire team for their hard work and dedication to the completion of this project. It was indeed a pleasure working with you guys. The design looks great(though we didn't win) but we did all have our fun. We are really a bunch of MULTI-talented people. Kudos to all of you and you future. Hope to work with you again in the future if we do have the chance. This post is dedicated to all of you.

*Thank you T.G.I.N (the company I am working in): Tang Li Qun, Tam Huei Liq, Ken, Lim Toh Hong and Jack.
Thank you N.I.C.E Designs for being so nice: Rebecca, Aaron L, Zaki, Ahmed, Amman, Adi and Leon.
