Visiting Royal Selangor 03102012

Whoo!! thats fast, Week2 for this semester is about to over, and assignments had alrdy started pilling up, theres just so much to do as im graduating in 6 months time.

My group and Sydney went for field trip visiting Royal Selangor for our Jewel Tech class as we need to learn about tech on mass production? hahaha no idea the reason why, but the reason we joined is that we can work with pewter cause they have these workshop called 'The School of Hard Knocks'



This workshop is actually teaching us how to make bowls with pewter by 'knocking' on a flat sheet of pewter, its way easier then doing it with silver like my bowl assignment i did for my previous sem, working with pewter is much softer and we were also looking around in their gallery and factory as they produce many pewter products like bowls, tableware, trophies and etc, the work is beautiful, if u got time and got no place to go? drop by there! the service are friendly and the work is just fantastic :)



and also did i mention they got their own jewelry line as well?, its called Selberan and they have some very nice jewelry there, its worth to have a look and even my senior's work were featured there too, for their Valentine collection. The place is not far from Raffles KL and fyi, Royal Selangor is one of Malaysia's Proudest Brand, so if foreigners are trying to look for a place to explore and see Malaysia made stuff, you should drop by here.

hahahaha, now im like promoting Royal Selangor, got this habit that if i loved the place i will be talking about it as like im promoting, is this habit a good thing or bad? LOL

After visiting the Royal Selangor, we went to Levain for lunch, the food and environment there are just lovely, their bakery are good and i love their Japanese Curry Rice, just got to order that whenever im there hahaha.

Anyhow, had been spending a lot of times on my rendering for the OE and SJDA design competition, hope im even qualify, i doesnt wanna put that much of high hopes in it because im very afraid of expecting too much and couldnt achieve it later on.
