Attention all smokers.

(google image)

I'm sure all Taylor's student are aware that Lakeside is a non-smoking campus. I am personally happy with this policy but I understand that some smokers are a bit frustrated with the idea. I just got a source of the reason behind this smoke free campus rule. So here goes:

Taylor’s University College is committed to provide a healthy campus lifestyle that is conducive to both living and studying in a pleasant smoke-free campus environment.

This smoke-free policy seeks to:

§ Ensure a healthy campus environment and protect the current and future health of employees, students, visitors and industry partners.

§ Protect the right of non-smokers to breathe in air free from tobacco smoke.

§ Comply with legislation and law that imposed by Ministry of Health

(under the Control of Tobacco Product Regulations, 2004, Clause 11 : No person shall smoke in any area in an educational institution or a higher educational institution. Any person who contravenes subregulation (1) commits an offence and shall on conviction be liable to a fine not exceeding ten thousand ringgit or to imprisonment for a term not exceeding two years)
First of all, I didn't know that the last factor existed! I shall put emphasis on the FINE + RM10 000 + or IMPRISONMENT FOR A TERM NOT EXCEEDING 2 YEARS.

Of course, Taylor's won't so bad send you straight away to jail. They are being kind with high hopes that everyone(Yes, this rule apply to all regardless of their status or business in the campus) will abide to the policy.

The million dollar question....What if you get caught? These will be the actions taken,

• Any student who is found smoking within the campus compound would have their Student ID confiscated and forwarded to the Student Central.
• First-time offender will meet with the Director of Student Experience for a verbal warning and their details will be kept in a database.
• If a student repeats the offence, he/she will receive a warning letter from the Director of Student Experience and cc a copy to the parent/guardian and the Dean.
• If a third offence is recorded, the student would be subject to disciplinary action with possible suspension from the programme.

Understood?

Taylor's Lakeside Campus

Yeah! 2010 is the year of all change for Taylor's as we move into our new Lakeside Campus! I'm so excited!

.........................-_-"

Okay, lame, it is super old news.

It is already JUNE! Happy 6th Month Anniversary to Taylor's Lakeside Campus! Picture above is just the designer's illustration of what Taylor's is going to be like.

Since it is a big news even though it's old news, this blog post will be about the Lakeside Campus. Also, other than the picture above, I will be stealing pictures from other Taylor's student/club blogs! Don't worry, I will credit you all.

Let's start our journey with the most basic necessity for student whom drives to college.

CAR PARK

No joke, there were a lot of complaints ever since the beginning, even myself!

(student council blog)

Okay, this is something that I just found out, all car park (land that belong to Taylor's only) have been Tar! Oh finally, before this wearing heels was a pain if you are require to walk on rocks. I almost tripped a few times.There's a car park plan, check out here. If I am not mistaken, over the six months, Taylor's have been renting parking spaces for the students. So far, I have no complaints about the distance (except the heat) because is better than no parking and besides, it is still free! Maybe Taylor's should build like a covered pedestrian pathway or something for the students to avoid the rain and the sun. Honestly, I am not aware if there is anymore complaint on the parking issues. If you've heard anything, comment to share your views.

Don't you think it looks exactly alike to the illustration?!No comment because it's perfect.

(Raffi's Blog)

Oh about the lake, if you are wondering, so far, no one fall into it YET.

DREAM ON PPL!

The kayak was only for open day.

It will be cool if we have these in campus. Maybe someone should start a watersport club!

The Multi Purpose Hall(MPH) is HUGE! Exams, orientation, events are usually held there.

FOOD!

Quote from students:

"Not enough variety of food"

Fortunately, there will be more food stalls coming once the commercial block is ready.

"Too expensive"

er..... So far, personally, yes, I agree to that too but it seems that there will be more cheaper stall around when the commercial block is ready. Though, I have to give credits for Taylor's to bring in Norwegian Sandwich because it is nice and healthy!

"No place to sit" & "HOT"

I give you a solution. TAPAU! and sit by the lake to eat. There got breeze.

It's too bad that I don't really have much pictures to share but I guess it would be best for you to see the campus yourself.

If there's anything, comment or msg at chatbox. I will be around, somewhere.

ComeBack in June!

Hello world!

It have been sometime but we will be back next month, June 2010. Follow this blog, link to your blog, facebook it, twitter and etc! Stay tune!

Taylor's College on Fire AGAIN

Seriously, what's with Taylor's and fire?



Read about it from Nia's blog.

Changing a Flat Tire

My 4th semester ended on Monday. One of my final assignments is to shoot a video.


The title of this video was 'Changing a Flat Tire' and I was the director-cum-producer-cum-cameraman. Yes, I'm a jack of all trades guy. :p

Before I show you all the video, I would like to say thank you to the people who help in making this video possible.

Walking Short
Firstly, thank you to Nick for being my main actor of the video and also for helping me in the pre-production, production and post-production of the video.


Secondly, I like to thank Sooi Jin for being my assistant and second actor and I hope you know that I really appreciate your help.

Thirdly, I like to thank God for not making the sky to rain during that day I shot my video. Fourthly, thank you to Sue Yee and Ione for guiding me in editing the video. Fifthly, I want to thank The Mother because without her, I would not be born and make the video at all. Sixthly, I like to thank the car for not breaking down in the middle of shooting. And last but not least, I like to thank Mr. Edward Sim for not failing me. In that order of importance if you're wondering. xD

Ok enough of crapping. Here's the video and I hope you enjoy it and actually do get what my video is about (a lot of people don't get the ending for some reason). -____-



Now don't disturb me. I'm waiting for Oscar to ring my phone anytime.

Flash Animation

After 2 weeeks, I have finally finished my Digital Media Concepts Assignment 2 - Flash Animation. It's really a stupid assignment, considering I needed 2 weeks to do something that lasts only 15 seconds. -____-

Oh well, at least I'm done with it. As I don't know how to upload flash to blog, I just show you pictures, ok?






Any resemblance is just pure coincidence. :D

Graduation

Like everyone, I want to dress like Harry Potter and wear the mortarboard.


I do not have a very high expectation of myself. I just hope that I could graduate as soon as possible, find a steady job, get married, have children despite my erectile dysfunction and live long enough to see my children themselves graduate. Hopefully even longer until I can see my own grandchildren graduate. :D

However, after looking at the pictures of past graduates of Taylor's and the continuing trend, I have some doubt on myself.





Oh dear. Is it me or the graduates are getting lesser and lesser by every year? o.O
