O' Bryan's Fanclower!!

This semester instead of learning AutoCADD, the lecturer decided to teach us Revit Architecture 2009 which is a software to draw buildings and turn it into 3D.. After 4 weeks of learning this particular software, we were given our 1st assignment which is draw a so called abstract building using a floor plan that he set for us.. So this is what Bryan drew!!
I present to you, Bryan's Fanclower!!
* this is the overall/perspective view of the building..

* this is the behind part of the building,
looks kinda like the Sydney Opera House concept..

* this is my favourite view, it is the roofs of the buildings..
now you know why it is called the "Fanclower"..

* the other view on the roofs and some parts of the building..

* a better view on the building, love the roof!!

** (Fan + Clover + Flower = Fanclower!!) **

Juniors will always be juniors.. *Sigh!*

During mass call on last Monday, the seniors would bring the juniors into a hall and brief them everything about the orientation program happening on that week and tell them a little bit about the college life here in TARC.. Bryan here is stupid enough to pass his handphone number to the whole class on that day!! After that day, i get stupid and funny yet ridiculous messages/questions!!

1st Case

We have this Society Day on Wednesday, last week.. And during the mass call on Monday, I told them to come BETWEEN 9am to 4pm, not FROM 9am to 4pm!! Then there came a little fat boy, and he asked me, when is this Society Day gonna start.. If you dont know what's a Society Day, it is when students come to booths to register for the societies they wanna enter.. I already did the briefing on Monday and told them several times already, yet there are still people who are like that..
*Banging my head on the wall!!*

2nd Case

After a few days, if I'm not mistaken it was on this Monday.. Well, as you can see, TARC's schedule/timetable is pretty tight and messed up.. And we will have to study up to 6 subjects per semester and maybe 7 for some other students.. They are architecture students, they still have to study those building topics involving construction and materials.. Then there was this dumb yet funny message that was sent to me :
"Bryan.. I am an architecture student, this means that I must enter those class involving architecture only? That means I have to enter 2 classes only for this semester?"
You sit there, lie down there, roll around for a few days and slowly wait!! 2 subjects in one semester??!! You wish!!

3rd Case

In TARC, we have lectures, tutorials, practicals and drawing sessions.. And then there are funny people who asks me funny yet stupid questions.. Last week, this boy messaged me and wrote :
"Bryan.. What does the letter L in the bracket means? Library?"
What the heck??! Since when students go to the library to study? Nvrmind, Bryan was patient enough to explain to him that L means lecture and it is when the lecturers/teachers teaches you on the topic.. Then this week, the same boy asked another question..
"Bryan.. If I am lazy or dont feel like going, what would happen if I dont attend the library?"
I was confused at 1st, coz juniors will have a session where the lecturers would bring them to the library to tell them more about the library.. Then I met him yesterday and he took out his timetable and it was the lecture he was referring to.. OWH MY GAWD!!
*vomiting blood!!*

4th Case

During mass call, we elected the course representative, assistant course representative, printing manager, sports manager and a secretary.. Before that I briefed them on what would these people do, what are their tasks if they hold any of these posts.. After we elected and stuff, we told them again about their tasks as course representative and etc.. Then the printing manager came to me..
"Senior.. What does a printing manager do??"
I was stunned there for a short while.. By the name of your post, I think you would know what are you gonna do at least!!
*speechless..*

5th Case

On an early Tuesday morning at around 8.30am, as I was still sleeping, I heard my phone ringing.. I answered my phone and this was the conversation..

Bryan : Hello!!
*with a pissed off and sleepy voice..*
Junior : Hello!! Is this the architecture course senior??
Bryan : Yes, Bryan here.. What's up??
Junior : I want to ask, this week do we have the language classes?? English and BM..
Bryan : Last time when i was in the 1st semester I think we don't have the language classes on the 1st week.. Where are you??
Junior : I am in front of the School of Technology office..
Bryan : *with a stunned voice* Why didn't you just go to the office and ask the clerk??!!
Junior : Owh yea.. Bye!


What the heck?? The damn SOT office is in front of you!! Enter there and ask them!! They are just born pure dumb or what??!!

*In conclusion, this batch of students is either a dumb one or they are just pretty hopeless.. I wish them luck and let's hope that they can complete their whole course.. For your info, they need to study up to 3 years to complete this diploma course.. Amen!!

*Pfffftttt!!*

This is a slight dissapointment, as I got a C+ this time in the 3rd semester.. Well, I can't blame anyone or I just blame it on luck as it wasn't by my side when I took that paper.. All the past year questions and all the things I revised before this paper didn't come out in the exam paper.. Plus, I got a moron for a lecturer and tutor, a 23 year old bitch who was a fresh graduate.. Oh well, what done is done, I shall try to work hard to increase my CGPA again!!


* What the f*ck!!! I got a freaking C+!!!

Well it feels like I'm in the beginning again,

there are much more knowledge that I'm gonna gain.

It is the 1st semester of the 2nd year now,

and I'm excited as a cow??!



It is the 2nd year of college,

somehow it seems like I've reached the next stage.

I never said that it is gonna be simple,

* hahaha! What a lousy poem!!

Wooooooot..!!!

Just got my 2nd semester results today, just checked it in the Net.. I am very happy about it as I did better than the last semester one, this time my results got slightly better.. All my hard work paid off, no regrets at all!! It is pure hard work my dear fellows, everyone can do it by just putting an extra effort in what you are doing.. My results are as follows :

Last semester I got around 3.81 for my CGPA, this time I got 3.8625.. Just slightly better but I am still really happy and proud about myself!! To be honest, I was really anxious last night and right now I feel so relieved plus happy!! Woooooooooo..!!

Exams & balls!!

Sorry for not updating for such a long time, as you can see, I am having my exams right now.. In the middle of it to be exact, 2 more papers to go actually.. I am having my Maths 2 paper tomorrow and I am mentally prepared i guess.. This semester I have been a lil' different during the examination period, I am not as tensed as last year as the schedule isn't so tight this time.. After every paper, I would gear up and kick some ball in the evening!! You can say that I am mad or crazy, but this the one way for me to release some steam after a paper.. The bad news is that I am having one more paper after the Chinese New Year week, the 3th of February! Curse you TARC!!

Absolutely ridiculous..!!

I would like to take this time to condemn a little bit about my college.. As you can see, i am a Tunku Abdul Rahman College (TARC) student.. I am okay with my studies so far, i am just a quite pissed off with the management of the marking scheme.. Don't know what i am talking about? I have done a little survey lately and this is what i found out.. :

1) Sunway College :-
* Assignments = 50%
* Examinations = 50%
* Overall passing mark = 50%

2) Taylors' College :-
* Assignments = 60%
* Examinations = 40%
* Overall passing mark = 50%

3) TAR College :-
* Assignments = 20%
* Examinations = 80%
* Overall passing mark = 50%

As you can see, normally assignments contribute at least half of the overall marks.. Except TAR College!! First of all, TARC students have more assignments compared to other colleges but the marks given is much lower than the other colleges!! If u said that it is becoz TARC is a government college therefore the marking scheme is different, well, that's bullshit!! They should stick to the actual college level marking scheme.. I work my ass off and didn't even study for around 2 months to finish my assignments which only contributes a friggin' 20 marks!! Plus, we have to study more subjects in a semester compared to the students from other colleges!!

* I think TAR College can do better than this, change the stupid scheme!! At college level, it is all about application and courseworks, not secondary examinations!! At least give the students more marks for the assignments and don't put so much burden on the examinations, it isn't rational!!

Drawings, drawings, drawings & more drawings..!!!

This week we were assigned to draw a set of working drawings based on the 1st project which is the model i did earlier this month.. Normal drawings and workings aren't the same, working drawings are like drafts which are going to be used by contractors, engineers and draftsmen to interpret the characteristics of the building.. These are a set of drawings i drew yesterday, it took me quite some time to finish it as neatness contributes to the marks..

* the plan view of my model..

* the front elevation..

* the rear elevation..

* the cross-section of the model..

* the door schedule..

* the window schedule.. (there's only one of it.. haha!)

Although manual drafting take up lots of our time, but it is still important as one needs to learn the actual way before drafting a drawing using the computer (AutoCAD).. Well, this is just one part of my assignments, i have a few more and all of it is due next week..!!

Steamboat-ing in the breeze..

Had steamboat in King's room 3 days ago as he was gonna get out from hostel soon.. As he was gonna leave, he said why not all the hostel dudes have a last steamboat gathering before he leaves.. Jonathan, King, Wei De, Sheryl and I were there on that day.. Had a really stuffed-up dinner + supper as we had lots of extra food..

* all the gadgets used to cook..
steamboat pot, two rice cookers and an egg boiler..

* left-over food and more stuff..

Plus, i found out something cool when we were in the room talking.. I found out that it is impossible to break an egg with these two ways.. Check it out and try it..! :

* apply pressure using your fingers only on both tips of the egg..

* just get a tight grip on the egg and then try crushing the egg by squeezing it..

* It is impossible to break an egg with these two ways, scientifically proven that by applying pressure on both sides or around an object will repel the forces right across it.
Thus, : Force = Resistance Force..!!

Mystiquel Night...


* staring into the light..

Well, i went to a prom or a formal night last Sunday and it is weird that i only posted about it a few days later.. Have been busy being an architect for the past few days, assignments piling up and i don't even have time to study..
Back to the Mystiquel Night.. I went to this event with Sheryl and King.. This particular event was organized by the people from the School of Business Studies of TAR College..
First of all, the stage was pretty cool, the lights and stuff were great.. They did a pretty good job decorating it plus the lighting were great too.. The 1st performance was pretty cool, they had a band which are seniors performing "Fall For You" by Secondhand Serenade and some of their own songs..


* King, Sheryl and Bryan..

Then there was a dude on stage and he is a magician as told by the host.. As usual, i was pretty excited about it as i love magic myself! And on that day i witnessed the worst magician in my life!! He was a disgrace to all magicians! He got boo-ed of the stage!! He did some cliche shit with ropes and some cheap bags!!
Next there was the prom king and queen voting as usual, i didn't care about it actually.. After that, there was another band and they played a few songs for a period of time.. Finally, they cleared the floor to make space for the students to dance and all as a dance floor..
Overall, the night was pretty cool, it isn't as bad as i thought and isn't really good too.. I just can't get over the lousy magician who really sucked!! Anyways, the event isn't half bad and it was pretty good..

Sweet Model O' Mine..!!

Last week, my class was assigned to complete a task.. That particular task was to build a model of a single-bedroom quarter or what we call the studio room in scale.. I started planning the shape and plan on Wednesday as we got the task was given on Tuesday, i started drawing my plan and other views in order to show me the shape what my model is gonna look like.. On Thursday, me and my pals went to Taman Melawati to get some materials and stuffs to build it.. And i started working my ass off on Saturday! This is how it looks like after i am done..:

* in the process of building my model..

* a free-hand drawing of the perspective view..

* plan view of my studio model.. isn't she beautiful?? *sniff sniff*

* another view from the top..

* the front view..

* the rear view..

* the main entrance / foyer..

* the entrance door..

* the bedroom door..

* the toilet door.. folding!

* the living room..

* the living room window..

* the kitchen and dining area.. cute eh??

* the kitchen window..

* the bathroom / water closet..

* the bedroom.. cool eh??

* another view of the bedroom..

* the balcony linked to the bedroom..

Looks small and easy, but it took me lots of time to complete this model..! It took me around 30 hours and sleepless nights to finish this plus i spent almost RM40 to buy all the materials.. I am satisfied with it though and i am God damn happy about it.. Finally, i am done!!

Graduant from England..??! You sure..??!

A situation when a group of students were talking to a lecturer from TARC on some issues.. This happened a few months back when i was in my 1st semester..


Ms. T : Why are these books here on the floor? Where is the course representative?

Student Z : Errr.. Today the course rep. isn't here, and we don't really know whose books are they..

Ms. T : Owh.. Then you should take it to the office to let them keep it 1st..

Student Z : Yes, i will bring it downstairs now..

*A student runs towards the lecturer..

Student F : Ermmm, Ms. T.. These are our books, we forgot to take it when we left just now..

Ms. T : *shouts* Ehhhh!! Z!! The books are THEM WAN!!! Bring it back!!

Student B : *scoff scoff* Errr.. Ms. T.. These books are THEIRS is it?

Ms. T : *with an embarrassed look* Yea yea, it is theirs..

Student B : *laughing behind with a few pals* What the f...??


Let me wrap this up for you..:

~ My wan - Mine..


~ His wan - His..

~ Her wan - Hers..

~ THEM WAN - Theirs..!

Well, as you can see.. Lecturers who are graduated from England isn't always so good in English.. All i can say is, buck up your English before teaching us! Or you will be a big freaking laughing stock to us students!

*take some English lessons at least! Or just stop teaching us in English if u ain't that good at it!*

Can you really paint all the colours of the wind..??!!

Did some colouring for the past few days, 3 pictures which took me quite a lot of time to finish these 3 drawings.. I used only colour pencils for all of these drawings.. And i thought colouring was that simple!! I was wrong and colouring ain't no kindergarten thing!!


*A plan view on a particular house.. It isn't that good-looking though.. ( looks like a house design gone wrong! )

*Just some view from a street or something.. ( love the sky!! gayish purple!! )

*Took me the whole Saturday afternoon to finish this plan view!! ( darn trees!! took me most of my time just to finish that! )

*Spent around 30 bucks on these so called architecture colouring markers.. And i haven't started using it yet!!

Almost 6 hours of drawing..


After dinner at Taman Bunga Raya (TBR), i started drawing a perspective view of a house as shown here.. Andrew hung out in my room for around half an hour while i was drawing it.. I got really surprised that i didn't feel sleepy while i was drawing, i didn't thought that i would finish it in one night.. This particular drawing took me almost 6 gruelling hours! *phew* Actually i was doing two things at a time, was online-ing and drawing at the same time..

Well, all the hardwork paid off.. I am really satisfied with my drawing and i am proud of it! Call me a show-off but i am really proud of the final result and i am willing to show it! Hahaha! Well, this is just one of my assignment, there's more to come in the future.. And my 1st semester exam results are coming out next Monday! *Argggghhhhh!*

Sushi King..!


Had Sushi King for breakfast in KLCC with King, Sheryl, Sharlini and Karen.. Why all of a sudden u ask? It is coz there's a discount thingy for these few days, and today is the last day actually.. Every plate of sushi which has rice in it only costs RM2, only those on the moving belt which has rice in it costs RM2.. Well, i had 7 plates altogether and it cost me around RM20.. I didn't know that those without rice would be at the same price, i took the baby octopus which cost me RM6, so i had to pay around RM20 plus government tax and all..

After that i went off back to TAR College earlier as i have a class at 1pm, but the others stayed back for shopping and all.. Mana tahu, after my last class at 6pm i called Sheryl and she said that they are still in KLCC! Hahaha! And the three girls there have a class on 3pm, they might as well just miss that class.. King went with them and til now they aren't back from KLCC yet..! Haha!

By the way, did i mention that King is in the middle of his final exams?? Haha! A day before, they said that after eating then we will be heading back to TAR, and then what happens now? And Ms.Sheryl said that she wanted to go the library to study before her class at 3pm.. Hahaha!

Tony Buzan & the big fat bee-atch..!!


This afternoon at approximately 2.10pm, me and my college-mates went to hear talk in the grand college hall.. Actually we were supposed to give our names in order to go for this particular talk, but we are forced to go for this talk as my class consists of only a pathetic number of 10 students.. Well, the person who gave this talk was Tony Buzan.. If you are familiar with this name, this becoz this man actually wrote the infamous book "Left Brain, Right Brain" and the "Mind Mapping"..

He was the man who researched on how to use our brain, plus he is the one who created mind mapping which is widely used today by citizens all over the world.. They call him "The father of Mind Mapping" and i have to say, this man is hell of an educational consultant..! His talk wasn't as boring as i thought and it was really useful as he taught us how to remember better and how to use our brain..

But there was a really big distraction as there was an elephant girl sitting behind which can't just shut her big fat mouth! My friend asked her to lower down her voice but that bitch continued talking and crapping with her friends.. That bitch kept on complaining that the talk was boring and not interesting, plus she said that she don't even understand a word Mr Buzan was saying.. I curse that big fat bitch that she will not get to improve her English in the future and curse her to be fat til she dies! Is Bryan cruel and inhuman or what??! Muahahahaha!

*cough*cough* In conclusion, Tony Buzan rocks! As for the big fat bitchy elephant female, she better not let me see her in college or i will shove not one but two of my shoes in her big fat mouth!
