Officially announce:"IM BUSY"

Rainy day

These two days is a little bit colder because of these two days is a rainy day. Wind keep blowing, i will drink water and feel abit sore throat already. Anyway, today studio assign us assingment already. It is a two weeks assignment and for me i think is kinda crazy. I think i will be busy on the remaining days.Partly happy partly enjoy partly suffer.

City exploring again!

What a day! wake up at 11am and i have my brunch straightaway. I intended to clean my room actually, but andrew said he will be in the city soon. So, i going out as well with them.One of our new friend from Malaysia, called Jason come along as well. Before we went to the city, we pass by a cathedral called Metropolion Cathedral where the Le Corbusier Exibition organised by RIBA will held. The arc are just painted with the Le Corbu logo(some sort of represent him) and we have out own sweet time there.

We went to the huge Liverpool shopping mall which called Liverpool One. I found out there is some difference between the shopping centre in Uk and the shopping centre in Malaysia. Malaysia shopping mall is like a all in one building but Uk style is more to outdoor. The Shopping mall eventually called the shopping street.

Liverpool One Shopping Mall

We went to the Liverpool 08 offcial retail shop which sell all those stuff related to Liverpool 08 European City of culture. In this event, they hired a Japanese artist to create a sculpture called SUPER LAMB BANANA. Kinda cute huh?This sculture is a combination of banana with the lamb and become a nice mutate lamb. We found two super lamb banana in this shop.

This is the most interesting part of the day. This is the first time, i see with my own eye of the crime scene. I not sure what happen to that guy, i just saw the police man and women caught him and ask for help to arrest the guy.This is the moment that i looking for.

My timetable

I just got my timetable. Well, Basically i will be free after 3pm on monday and will be free after 4pm on tuesday and friday. Wednesday is abit odd, just hv 1 hour class at 9 to 10am then the rest of the day is free as well as the thursday is an off day. I think thursday is an off day is because of they want to allow us to have time to prepare for studio which is on friday. Is a good and well thought timetable, of course not as sucky as Taylors' timetable(arrange by 'him'). My tutor is Prof. David Oldsman while andrew n bryan is different tutor as well. He is a acoustic specialist and some climate specialist. Haiz...i hope he is as good as the others.haha..

Finally i got to ONLINE~!~!!!

It has been 3 days that i couldn’t online. Now i just got my house line on which is consider cheap for me around 175pound per year and up to 2mb speed. Not bad huh? I think i have to talk about what had happen in this 3 days time.

First day-The journey to Liverpool
I arrive at KLIA about 5.30 and after check in my stuff and roaming around is around 6.30pm. Then we have our dinner at Mc donold. Surprisingly, my junior come to send us off. IT is kinda touching due to our junior are still remember us, and our own batch students did not send us off. Anyway, we have our sad good-bye event there and off by 8.30 to the plane.

Brother,Sister and I

MY JUNIOR!!!
The plane take around 6 to 7 hours to get to Abu dhabi Airport. It is kinda sad due to their transit airport area is not even 1/10 of KLIA. Although the design of it kinda stunning at the first sight, the oomph is not there. We spend around 2 hours for the transit.

ME,andrew and Bryan

Abu Dhabi airport

FINALLY, we reach Manchester Airport. When we arrive here, we spend around an hour for our immigration business. Then when we get out from immirgration department, we finally meet the real Manchester airport. We came out from the old part of Manchester airport, so is kinda disappointing. It looks like a garage area, so small, so untidy, and so pack with people, gaming area, stalls. And we wait for 2 hours for the Liverpool people come to send us back to Liverpool university.(Ass).Anyway. the good thing is, the weather is just nice like genting.

The airport that We Arrive

Luckily the philharmonic court (university accommodation)is just located opposite of my private accommodation. It names Agnes Jones House. I kinda like this accommodation because of its security is very tight. You have to do the security beep(door) for around 4 times in order to get into my room from outside area. The kitchen is fine, toilet is fine. Except the internet! I do not know why it will be like that, i cant connect from my room but others can. Anyway i finally got to internet due to the localnetwork that i set up previously from my house finally fixed. No worries now.
My very first meal when i reach LIVERPOOL

This evening, Bryan and i go around the city and university. My accommodation is not far from university as expected. We go tesco express to hunt for our food, go to city centre to look around. We found the black background yellow M Mc donold restaurant , we decided to have our first great dinner there. We order something different. The name of the burger is called Chicken Legend with Bacon. Sounds nice. Of course, taste as nice as the name. When settle our shopping for the first day, we went back around 7pm. I just figure out my charger is not with me but with Andrew(ish!!!). Damn. I could not on my computer longer than 1 hour. Anyway, i feel damn tired and accidentally slept around 10pm.

I FEEL SUPER COLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!i freeze! When i wake up, my chest keep on vibrating, i cant breath well, i just know, i wake up aat 12.30 am. Damn. I faster go on my heater and keep drink water. It is because i got no blanket. I grap the wind breaker jacket and cover myself and warm myself. Tired and very sleepy. Sien.

Day 2-Exploring
Bryan and i promise go find Andrew today in order to meet him and get his contact no. (stupiak him didn’t give his contact no.)and my charger(Stupiak him and me as well because forgot to get from him)We go take some bus which is pass by his road there. We walk about 20 minutes to get to his accommodation. Then we found out he is away!!!!!Waste of our time and money. Then we ask the people over there to check where he is going. We found out ANDREW WENT OUT WITH A GERMANY GIRL. Damn. When his technique of courting girl become so good? We came and find him but he out with a girl. Both of us so sien when we heard of it. Anyway, we are great to know some place and how to get to his place. We take bus again back to the city then we start to shop and hunt for something else. We found Mark and Spenser, Topshop,Primark(Seed) and others. I bought Mark and Spenser pillow. Sounds like expensive huh? Nop, Mark and spenser price like Jusco in Malaysia. Anyway, we also bought alot of stuff back to our house. Today is a great day because we almost finish walking the whole city. The new part of the city is great (design) and the old part of the city looks great as well(Space,feeling).

Day 3.-tiring
Sien. I could not use my computer. I force to go out to walk again. Today ,along the Hope Street, there is a lot of stalls putting around like pasar malam. It happens at today 21 of Sept only. The Liverpool Royal Philharmonic hall is open day today. We can get in to watch their performance for free. I went to watch their cinema(45 minutes short clip) and their violin performance. After that, i went out to the city again. Today i think i know more about the city and the street and everything. Back to my own accommodation, wait for Bryan for half an hour (for some misunderstanding)and we off for asda supermarket. After 45 minutes of walking, we finally reach a green big building Asda. Like giant, it has alot of stuff. After we bought our stuff then we off to find Andrew again. We walk about 20 minutes or 30 minutes again to reach his hostel with all the stuff that we bought on our hands and bag. Then we wait for him and finally got my charger. What a day, kinda exhausted, but ok la...fun la. We can explore a lot of place.

NIKON D90

This is the latest Nikon DSLR D90. Kinda cool huh?Its finally officially announced its price at the Nikon Malaysia website. RM 4.5k include 18-105mm kit lense and RM3.5 k for the body only.It seems to be a reasonable price for me with its cool feature-the world first DSLR body built with HD movie recording feature.Yeah, alot of people crit nikon about this(mostly from canonian say this is a useless feature), and I believe, it is a plus for a DSLR. The most important thing is, the image quality that D90 produce is unforgivable nice. With high iso setting yet still produce less noise images are the major plus for this DSLR. But damn,i have not enough money to get this DSLR! Who is willing to sponser me?ISH. Anyway, If i really buy this DSLR, i will buy the body only and go for Tamron 17-50mm f2.8 lense. This lense is a nice lense and i believe that it will never make me regret and im sure others who know this lense will agree with me as well.

The main reasons that i will choose NIkon D90 is
1) Cmos sensor(less noise)
2) NIkon lenses(can be use for ur whole life and quality is guarentee)
3) 11 points of autofocus
4) Top LCD screen(secondary screen)
5) Double dial( for iso,shutterspeed,aperture,bla bla bla..more convenience)
6) Live view(is not a major thing for me but also a plus)
7) Movie mode( an extra point with the money that u pay)
8) The Design( they good in melt people's hands on the their product,so that u wont easily get change to other brands)
9) Metering system is good
10) Active D-lighting lo(sien)

So what do you think?

My accomodation!

At first, i got my university accomodation is located at the GreenBank that area. The most interesting part of that area is super far from my university(stupid university accomodation location), which is around 3 miles away, 10 minutes driving, 1 hour walking distance(calculate from Google Maps(thx)). Thus, i force to find myself a nearer place. Luckily enough, i got a private accomodation place at Agnes Jones House which is require 7 minutes walking distance to my faculty.LOL. SUCh a nice location, so i book it down without any deep thoughts. Now,i just waiting for staying there when i got there at 19th of Sept!.
