Internship.. Byez~~

Well... it is official now... I'm done with my internship in XuanWorks... i'm certainly gonna miss this place... the best thing is the even had a farewell lunch for me and xiaochin as it was our last day.. hehehe... i heard there usually wont be farewell for interns but... oh well... we extended... so i guess we are not just "interns" anymore.. hehe... became part of the company...

well... my days in Xuanworks are certainly full of various emotions... ups and downs... but in the end... i can say that i really did enjoy my days there... although sometimes there are frustrations.. but then... i still did learn quite a lot... and i guess that's what internship is all about...

i will really miss them... a lot lot!!!!


The director and producer... Bryan and Miki


Client services... teresa... wuwuwuwu... will miss her sarcasm the most!!!



assistant producer.... man yong (coco)... will miss her blur-ness... snifs


assistant producer.. jolene (2nd on the right) and conty girl, xiaochin (right)... ok.. although me and xiaochin are in the same university.. same course... same lecture class... but we seldom have the chance to talk ok... we have our own gang in school.. we hardly mix... miss you, xiaochin...

~signing off...

final report... check!!!

ooo... i finally hand in my final report for my industrial attachment(IA) or better known as industrial training and also internship...

i know i said that i'll finish everything latest by wednesday and get my appendices and reference stuff signed and verified by thursday... but i just dont know why... a common human behavior that tends to stretch till the last minute... i officially finish my report yesterday in the office... of course.. i got a little help from the new intern, Nick... hehehe... he help me crap along for my conclusion... i was so stuck there i stared at the title for almost 3 hours...

anyway.. it's kinda sad to realise that my days in xuanworks is coming to an end... 10 more days to go... hmm... i wonder will i miss my days there???

anyway.. i have an overnight shooting tomorrow... from saturday to sunday... stay at the location for 2 days... i have never ever experienced an overnight shooting before... this sound kinda exciting... and our crew ill have to race with time since the talent will only spare that much of time for our shooting... and we have an infomercial and 2 TVCs to shoot tomorrow...
a challenge... oooo....

besides... i'm kinda looking forward as a part of 616 has plans already for the holiday... hehehe... its gonna happen right after i leave the company... huhu.. what a great way for a break... happy~~~

what else should i be saying??? hmmm... besides my weight issues... it has gone down on monday.. but went up again today... it must be the cheese... sigh~~~ what to do???
and i'm so lazy to exercise... i have been doing sit ups and push ups in the morning before going to work... i think that will help reduce a little weight... aish... when will it be a forty something instead of a 50???

the end is just the beginning

oo... here i am again...

i think most of my course mates are currently celebrating the end of their internship... after 14 weeks of intern life... it is time to get back to studies... but first things first.... we have a final report to complete... sigh... i feel so lazy to start on that...

anyway... just to let you know.. my intern life has not end yet... nono... mine will be ending next month... 15th to be accurate... well, i'm actually extending my internship with my current company... unbelievable??? quite... i thought so too...

i was kinda shocked when they asked me whether i would like to extend my internship... because i am kinda hard headed at times and i tend to answer back when questioned.. hehehe... my bad.. so i thought they wouldnt wanna have such a hard headed "employee" in the company... but anyway, i really appreciate them asking me... well, my hard head is good at banging walls tho... hahaha... anyway, they ask offer me to stay for a week... i said ok... then it became 1 month with an additional amount on to my allowance.. kinda tempting... but its kinda long... although i said i like the work.. but still i need a little break... hehe... my dad is bringing me somewhere by the way during the end of september.. so i guess i couldnt stay so long after all...
then i asked whether is it ok for me to stay for half a month... well, they are ok about that and everyone's happy...

however, i didnt get to ask for the pay though... i sure hope it wont be too little... i am still glad about them asking me to extend... because i was actually planning to since there might be a drama shooting on september, however due to some unforeseen circumstances, the drama shooting is somehow delayed... oh well, i didnt think of extending after that... but i am ok with extending if they want me to... it really does boost my self esteem to think that they are asking coz they need me... hehehehe... although i'm not sure of the actual reason but thinking that way makes me happier... well if they didnt ask i shall not go around asking for it since there might be a hint that they do not need my help after all... so better dont cari pasal... or else its kinda embarassing... hehe...

hehe... so i'll still be back to work next week... and not forgetting a final report to write...
i will still be busy...

Bakuteh

Hi there... i know it has been a very very long time... i hardly abandon my blog for so long... dont know what's happening to me... maybe its just work... about my company... sometimes i hate it so much that i might just kill someone off.... and sometimes i kinda enjoy what i do... which just makes my day... well... i have been doing pretty much lately... contacting talents, checking their availability... arranging time for casting... handle castings... edit casting videos... well.. i finally know what i like to do... i like to mingle around with talents... wuahahaha.... i now have loads of people's phone number in my notebook... well.. i'm just shallow... hehe... just ignore...

quit talking about work... last saturday i woke up early morning... why??? coz i'm off for bakuteh breakfast outing with chen yee and ke yang....



chen yee and ke yang... ke yang is the driver and chen yee is on the left... that's his cap you are looking at...

off we go to klang for bakuteh.... sorry.. i have no photos during the first stop... busy eating... it was nice!!! really nice... too bad i didnt take any photos... busy eating...
noticed that i said "first stop"??? coz ke-yang suddenly came up with the idea of going for a second round... hahaha....

so since me and chen yee couldnt find any reason to protest... we went off for a 2nd round...


Our 2nd round... smaller portions.. but then i still prefer the first one.. i hope we can go again... hehehe...

After that, ke-yang came up with this crazy idea about going to taman pertaninan malaysia... we were like "what??!!" the sun was glaring madly that day... nobody is in mood to go walk and see stuff that have to do with "pertanian"...

however... ke-yang was the driver.. so all we can do is follow the driver.. so when the driver says go to taman pertanian malaysia... means WE ARE going to taman pertanian malaysia...

on the way in...

parking lot... this was taken when ke-yang was asking the boy who sells parking tickets, "mana ada parking a??"... i guess, drivers just stick their eyes in front, dont they???




walking to the ticket counter... it turns out that ke-yang was organising a youth camp for his church... thats what brings him here... he came here to ask for details... phew~~~




as we were walking to the office... chen yee on the left and ke-yang on the right... sorry.. you'll just have to look at their backs... their fronts are too shy for the camera... hehe...



dua orang sesat studying the map of the place... ke-yang actually suggested that we go in and have a look... as in buy tickets and go in... i was like... "you gotta be kidding!!!" luckily chen yee strongly disagrees with the idea... hehehe... way to go taiwan zai!! ke-yang calls him that coz he claims that he's getting more and more taiwanese after going to taiwan to further his studies...

what's the place again??? repeat after me...


Taman Pertanian Malaysia...

anyway... at the end of the day.. i was glad to be able to meet up with chen yee and ke-yang... we were primary school mates... and we havents seen each other since we graduated from primary school... hohoho... this outing just randomly happened on a face book post... where we randomly suggested and its ON... hehe... thanks to facebook!!!


then later that day... i went to full house, nzx with huiping, rae and shehlee... i was too full due to the 2 rounds of bakuteh... i didnt eat anything... instead, huiping belanja-ed me a drink... hehehehe... gamsahamnida huiping!!!

and that reminds me... huiping.. ur pronunciation i found already... but then its not with me down and i'm lazy to move... i'll leave you an msn offline msg tomorrow.... sorry for the delay... i forgot!!

picking it back up...

well well well...
10 weeks have passed...
and i survived gracefully...

plus, i manage to "see through" a lot of things which eventually makes my life a lot more happier than it previously were....

although i have almost absolutely nothing to do in the office during the whole july... but i managed to pick up a few things that i have dropped off long time ago...

i start reading fanfics again!!! and i never realised that i actually miss them so much... after my account was somehow "terminated" by winglin because i left for more than.... 2-3 years, i think... anyway... i wasnt really keen on creating a new account... because i now have a blog specially created for my fics... although the readership will be much much lower than my winglin days... but i somehow could do without having much readers... i'm ok with that...

then i have been reading back the fics that i have written years (i'm not telling how many years tho... i feel old..) ago... and guess what.... it brings back memories... and reminds me of how i think when i was writing them... hehe... oh god... the aging process just gets me...

anyway... i think i might just as well pick up my fic-mood again... since i suddenly have the urge to continue the fanfic that i have abandon years ago...

well... my internship days are coming to an end... and i know that i have said that i want it to end and stuff... did i say anything like that?? maybe when i was so frustrated being banned, ignored and stuff... but then... come to think of it... i feel kinda sad that its ending already... hahahaah... weird me...

i guess... the thing that comforts me about going back to uni is that i'm still a student... and i'm not that old yet... hahahahah.....

woes...

I can’t believe I can’t go to the ShoutAwards… and I actually have the opportunity to gain hold of free tickets to the event…. Sigh…. I guess…. I’ll just watch it from home then… I wonder will there be live telecast on tv???? For those who are interested.. it’s on Friday, this coming Friday (17/7) starting from 8.30pm… which obviously shows that I can’t make it because I’m working on Friday until 7pm… so in order for me to get to bukit jalil from damansara perdana… even though if there’s no jam… although it’s somewhat impossible… i may also not make it in time… so let’s just dump all those other MINOR problems like me don’t have a single clue of how to go to bukit jalil stadium from damansara perdana or even my house…. And I may not get any parking space…

I’m cheering for Naz and Cheryl for best chemistry in Ghost!!!! I hope they win… I did vote!! And several others too… I vote Ghost for best programme (drama), field trip USA for best tv programme (non-drama)… what else?? Kami for best film… I’m not really sure of the names for the categories.. but they are somewhat like that…

Hmm… it’s not the end of the week yet… but let’s talk about internship just to fill up the post… this is certainly the most frustrating week I have ever had… and I know I still have 2 more days to jump into conclusions but I can conclude… the previous days were like hell so the frustration level is to the maximum comparing to any other weeks… firstly…. People starts forgetting what they said previously and couldn’t make up their minds… in the end insulting me and my knowledge of the language…. Damn… anyway… the incident keeps repeating itself so no point repeating them here… the conclusion is you present A.. people think A is not good… they suggest B… then you do and present B… then they say B is not good and ask why didn’t you do A??? then they just give you this i-am-not-happy-but-i-am-not-gonna-scold-you-coz-I’m-nice look…. And then tells you to do C, a combination of A+B… fine.. I’ll give you C… then they ask you why aren’t you following??? And now they want a little of D.. which people claimed they had mentioned it earlier… which I don’t recall anything… along with my 3 fellow colleagues… anyway.. so now they want E, which is C+D….

Sigh~~~~

And one more thing… I seriously think that Malaysia has too many oppositions… coz I’m currently researching about corruption… and whenever I type corruption… it is not facts that come out but a lot of opinions and critics… which is something I don’t need… I only want the actual case and facts… but the opinions and stuff are interesting tho… which distracts me from researching on facts instead I start reading all those critics and stuff…

However… people will not accept that there are things that are not available on the internet… people claims that I have not done enough research… well.. I dare not say I have done enough but I tried every way I could to search for those info and I failed.. so do you mind telling me where to go instead of “you go and search… sure got one.. search further…”

What is “search further”??? I have already reach the end of the results… is that far enough???

A lot of minor things cannot be found on the internet, mind you… and the ones that I have done research on are those I have presented earlier… which you have rejected… my dear lovely version A…

The rest… I now can only rely on my imagination to create your Bs, Cs, Ds and Es….

missed raymond...

Hi... another week of my internship has passed... this is a week that i have practically nothing to write about... because now i understand the feeling of having absolutely nothing to do... oh gosh... every morning i step into the office... it's facebook from 10-7.... well... it was still ok for the first few days... then i realise that it wasnt fun at all having nothing to do....

so now i hope we have things to do next week... which i think we will have as i have seen the schedule that we'll be starting preproduction work.... ok... so since there's nothing to talk about work... i guess we'll talk about other stuff...



i missed raymond lam at kepong metro prima yesterday... oh shucks...



reason no.1 i dont know where kepong metro prima is....
reason no.2 it starts at 8pm and i finish work at 7pm... by the timei get there.... it'll be full of people.. not to mention the jam while getting there... they say it is hard to secure places... even if you are an FF member... and i'm NOT...
reason no.3 i'm kinda lazy to go after a day's work... although as i said previously i was quite free in the office... but still.. it's quite tiring just staying in the office... ok... keekee is gonna kill me if she sees this...




anyway... he's gonna be in johor, ipoh and penang.... and the FF gang is following him across half of malaysia... and that's what i call loyal fans... hahahaha.... i'll be supporting you guys mentally!!! my heart will be with you!!!

and then... i had this very spontaneous get-together with cheryl and the gang... haha.... nice to see cheryl back here... nothing has change.... well.. the problem with going out in a big group is everybody have different interests and they stop at different things... well... let's just say that we'll tend to lose a few members everytime somebody turn away to look at something and turn around back to join the gang.... it happens a few times today... almost everytime... well... it's EVERYTIME!!!!

i must really control on my spending.... ok... i dont earn a lot during my internship... so i'm still depending on my family when it comes to petrol and parking ticket.... which may also differ after we move to connaught... well i try to save on my meals by bringing home cook/prepared food to the office... oh gosh... the problem is... i really enjoy spending... but i'll always regret after doing so... weird huh??? that's it for being kiamsiap... oh... i forgot to introduce my 3Ks in life... please welcome... Kiasu... Kiamsiap.... and Kepo... these are my 3Ks in life...

sigh~~~ when can i spend happily without regretting after that???

oh well... i tend to be very grateful when weekend arrives... not that i am not grateful before this... but now... i'm even more grateful... just like how i used to be when i was in high school... how i love fridays.. not only because of the chinese class... but also the coming of weekends... i always feel dreaded to go to school... just like how i feel dreaded to go to work... of course... i think going to work is a bit better than going to school because at least i'm doing what i like to do... so it does cheer up my monday blues... and the part where you can wake up anytime you want....
and i'm kinda lucky considering that fact that i dont work during weekends....

ok... end of post...

Internship lessons to be learnt

Honestly... how long have i been staring in front of this page???? sheesh... that is what happen when you have the mood to blog but nothing to blog about...

however... i'm still thinking of things to blog... so while i think... i'll just crap along the way... bear with me....
weekends are near!! woohoo.... another week of internship has ended!!!
it was a very empty week... because the pending jobs are all done... no preproduction stuff to rush... no shootings to go... now left are things like VO recordings and other post-production stuff...

this week's bi-weekly report is gonna be really really short... i hope miss june will be happy... after rejecting my reports because they exceeded 3 pages... oh gosh!! what's wrong with having a lot of things to do??? at least i DO have things to do... ok fine... if you wanna tell me doing slides and getting refreshments for clients are things that nobody wants to know... then tell me... what do THEY want to know so that i can DECORATE my report to be exactly the way you want... happy???

well.... i'm very busy when it comes to near-production days... coz now i'm practically in charge of calling the talents... checking their availability and stuff... wuahahhaah... luckily my knowledge about local artiste are still quite up to date... so when people ask me like... "how did she came in the industry??"... "where did she work previously??" and things like that.. i can actually answer... "She's from star search 2003.".... "she used to be a news reader in 8tv." and other stuff... which i doubt others can answer... wahahaha.... i still love malaysia, do i????

after working i just realise how naive i am... its a real world, buddy!!! what do you expect??? people will be taking care of me???? giving me full attention as though i'm a baby???letting me know whatever they are thinking about and everything???? hmmm... i'm just so wrong.... the fragile heart will have to strengthen up beacuse if not... i'm so sorry... you are in the wrong field...

this is a field full of gossips... well... i love gossips... as much as i love "gossip girl"... i dont mind gossiping... because honestly... if you are what you are.... it doesnt affect much....
however... how much as i love to gossip... i'll be doing it as ethical as possible... well i do get the point that gossiping is not something ethical... but i will not add anything more negative to it.... i skip personal stuff... and never dig into them if people are unwilling to share... i keep my eyes as straight as possible... i only say things that i have seen it happen... when people share their experience... it grows... but i'll not make it my own....

all these thing has split me into different characteristics... which in my point of view is necessary in this field...

-you'll have to work even though you dont want to/dont like or just not interested...-
(personal quote)

what have i split into????


an accountant - who keeps track of my expenditure.. making sure nothing goes off my budget... since i'm not really earning yet... this is crucial... because now i know and understand how hard it is to earn.... try to spend the minimum...

a panda - yup... i still have my panda eyes... and yep... i'm still lazy... and no... i dont eat bamboo shoots... but i shoot!!! hahahahah.... (dont get the wrong idea) and to add to that.... i'm getting FATTER!!!!!

a chameleon - i change colors according to situations... my true colors arent shown that often anymore... i find that adapting my perspective and perceptions towards certain situations are actually better than just blindly applying what i believe.... (which sometimes i think is quite foolish, no offence... just for my situation)

a lawyer - as i tend to defend myself whenever things turn out the way they are not suppose to and i couldnt help it, or i have nothing to do with it... just gracefully blur the target of who is responsible... to save yourself...

silverstar - ya... that's my old id.... a star... in silver... why???? because i try to shine on my own but i still need the guidance of light... but then... if you glare hard at me... i reflect even harder on you...

a sudden-health-freak-but-tak-jadi - due to my terrifying weight gain... i decided to be more attentive to my diet and exercise whenever i can (or should i say when i have the mood).. well... it's not working really well but there are results... small but still there are....

hmm... what else??? cant really think of anything now...
i tag the person who has been pestering me to write this post... whahaha... (no lah... didnt really pester... hmm.. how do you say that?? erm... encourage???)


i suddenly miss a lot of things.... sigh~~~~

signing off~~~

weird..

After 2 months of internship.. i realised a lot of things... like the world is not as innocent as how you think.. people will not stop and wait for you just because you couldnt catch up.. and not forgetting... the naive thinking of certain people that drives you crazy... i thought i was naive enough.. but who knows there were more... well... living in your own world doesnt help chase away the truth that you avoid facing (loosely translated, J-man, 2009).

besides that.. i enjoy being an intern... despite well.. the "adults" tend to leave you out in certain stuff... then asking you for help but not telling what or how should you help out... however.. interns have this "get out of jail free" card.. which equals to "make mistakes but will be forgiven" card... where you can no longer enjoy if you are a permanent...

people around says they miss school and wish to end this internship soon and get on with school stuff... assignments.. mid terms.. marks... finals... assessments!!! noooo way!!! that's specifically NOT what i miss about school... the only thing maybe is my friends and the fact that i can go home on time unless u have my own activities... besides that... i sure hope i can just escape from assignments... exams... and particularly marks...

a friend of mine who works part time and studies at the same time also thinks that she is more comfortable working than studying.. so i guess i'm not that weird after all.. and she's a student with a cgpa of 3.7 and above.. even she is tired of studying.. then why shouldnt i be?? my cgpa is below 3.5, by the way...

ever since the start of this year.. i suddenly feel that i'm tired of studying... but its already my 3rd and last year.. so i might as well brush up and get going... finish up my last year....

aza aza...

another week ended

Today... it marks another week of my internship...

how time flies~~~ i'll be getting my allowance again next week!!! hehe... i AM realistic... money is one of the factors... anyway... i'm not getting very much anyway.. so stop criticising... and anyhow.. it's still better than nothing...

yesterday's shooting was fun... honestly.. i enjoyed it more than the previous 3 shootings... hmmm... why is it??? this time.. i'm still doing my usual thing... which is taking pictures for conty.... however... the art department people are also doing the same thing... so i guess.. it's kinda "extra"... well.. besides that i have nothing much to do... because this time, i'm in charge of wardrobe!!! can you believe that??? me... a person who is not at all good in clothes... in charge of wardrobe... wahahaha... but i enjoyed it... because i feel very involved in the project... and the best part is... i get to mingle with the talents!!! fuahahahaha.... which is something i really enjoy.... hahaha...


what else??? nothing much to report about internship besides shooting and some random stuff going on because i think they might be kinda boring... so... let's see... i havent blog about my outing with several long-time-no-see friends.... i'll do that later because that will require photo uploading... which if what i'm kinda reluctant to do...


hmmm.... i have some pretty sad stuff and rantings to do... but i'll not continue here... it might ruin the mood of this post... hehe...

stay tune!!!

signing off!!!

TGIF

i have marked today as the happiest day of my internship days... i think they will not be any other days that could be better than today....

first thing first... i get to go to astro to see a radio infomercial recording for mixFM... haha.. what an opportunity... and they are only bringing one intern over... xiaochin doesnt have the transport.. and kevin seems reluctant... so i guess its me then... we are suppose to take turns anyway... so i have used up my chance... awww... what a waste... but i have definitely made an entrance there... *embarassing...


the recording was pretty fast... i went back to the office at around 12pm... people who know damansara perdana will understand the misery of searching for a parking place during this time of the day... it's a disaster... BUT!!! i manage to find one... proper parking space without "joining the divider" or whatsoever... after 2 rounds... during my third round around taht place!!! i'm so lucky!!!! actually there was a car waiting for it already... but i somehow appeared behind it so i just wait for it to go in and spread my envy-ness of what good luck that fellow have to get such a nice place during this is of the day...

wuahhahaha... who knows??? the car suddenly left its "waiting spot"... so i assume there wasnt a place after all but when i got closer... the reverse lights of one of the cars lit up.... wooohooo!!!!! i've found a place!!!! although there a little distance from the office but at least... i got a proper place!!! so after parking my car and paying the parking ticket... i walk back to the office...

then mrs boss say we are all going to tenji for lunch... what's the occassion???? i dont know... no idea... saja.... so after settling down... off we go to tenji for lunch buffet!!!! japanese lunch buffet man!!!!


after that... we went back to the office... and get to go bcak on time... 7pm sharp!!!

the very best thing is... it FRIDAY today... so i'll get my weekends... and i'll be meeting up with ain and gang tomorrow... oh gosh!!! this day just couldnt get any better....

TGIF!!!

---intern update---

there goes the 3rd week of my internship...


this week i got to deal with the talents when they show up at the office for wardrobe fitting... and i also got to call them up to confirm their availability for the proposed shooting date... they all sound very kind and nice... not as demanding as i imagined... bombarding me with all sorts of questions that i dont know how to answer and gets pissed off when i cannot answer them.. instead they just laugh and say... "okay, you get back to me when you get to know about that... thanks..."
phew~~~


the hardest part when it comes to calling talents is when you are rejecting them... since after proposing to clients.. they will only be choosing 1 when you have already called a dozen to check their availability and promised to call back and confirm... whatever that is... whether accept or reject... this week.. i have to reject around 10 (i think) VO talents that i have called previously to confirm their availability... i really dont have the heart to do that.. so i got kevin to do it for me... hehehehe.... thanks yo!! its really sad when such a nice voice is rejected... they all sound really nice.. and must be very disappointed when they receive rejection... sigh~~~~



hmmm.... i'll have to get used to that... because there are more to reject in the future... i really hope that the clients could shortlist them early and just accept which i managed to get hold first... instead of calling... confirming... then rejecting.. which is a waste of time, hope and effort....


i'm starting to enjoy dealing with talents now... and i'm getting used to calls... since i dont have to rest for like 10 minutes after every call...


besides that.... i just have to say.... VOs... they earn a lot!!!!!!

internship week 2

another week has pass...
12 more to go....

this week is a very busy week as well... because there are 2 shootings... there should be 3 but another 1 was delayed till next week... oh well... 2 is ENOUGH to handle....

tuesday morning... call time 0615... fuwah!!! luckily dedi agreed to send me to work... hehe.. off to kota damansara... landed on a very huge house... very nice... the design is kinda similar to those vacation resorts... got photos... but i dont think i'm allowed to reveal them here... in case there are any copyright stuff... so i guess i'll show them when the ad is aired.... meanwhile... just say that the shooting goes on quite smoothly... everything in place... i'm assigned to take photos behind the scenes... but manatahu... just the first scene the battery life has dropped down to 20mins.... owh shucks!!!! we still have to whole day to go!!!! and i only have 20 mins???? besides the camera also functions as a conty when photos are taken previously can be refered regarding the detail of arrangement and stuff... (what am i talking about??? i dont know...) so what else can i do???? conserve battery... only take photos of those which I THINK is important... sigh~~~

then at 5pm we shift location... of to sungai buloh we go.... in a kampung house... which is damn hot because the electricity were all used for the shooting equipments... so the fan was off... understand la... kampung house... how much electricity they have???? the owner of the house is very kind... he keeps offering to help when i was clearing up... we get to wrap up earlier than the estimated time... which was a YIPPEEEE!!!!! darn tired... didnt feel like eating dinner... just wanna go back...


on thursday... call time is still 0615... this time the location..... templer hills!!!! a show unit in templer hills to be exact... again... no photos... cooz i dont wanna be sued for anything... the show unit was very nice... but due to its wide windows... it became very hot when the sun is shining to its maximum.... anyway... it'll still fun... i'm still taking photos... but this time doesnt make any difference as the last time... my battery ran out just before i realised... aish... change the camera la!!!! again... we wrapped up before the estimated time... YIPPEEEE!!!!! but we stayed there the whole day.... the talents were great... the little boy was extremely cute... but still... darn tired... had a few bites for dinner.... and balik...


yesterday.... made a few calls to check the availability of VO talents... just then i realised than i'm god damn lucky to not be placed in a telecommunications company... i totally freak out when it comes to phone calls... my voice shivers... my hand grips hard on t he receiver as though its gonna fall off... and i need 10-15 minutes rest in between every phone call... gosh this is tiring..... i'll try to avoid phone calls....


woke up early this morning to send my bi-weekly report.... off to lunch....

signing off~~~~

what about internship

right... i should update something about my internship before the end of this month...


so what have i been doing throughout my whole week of internship in xuanworks...
first of all... its a very small company... with not more than 10 employees... so everybody is close and the bond between employees are very tight and hard to break... haha.. i guess... assuming...
i've got a table... although it's not really mine... but at least i get to sit with a computer in front of me...


we have 3 shootings scheduled next week so damn.. it's busy... i never get to go home on time... however no complains because i think its kinda worth it... at least i'm not like hanging around doing nothing... wasting my time...

what have i learnt???
i learnt how to change the color of clothes... which is very very useful when it comes to searching clothes for wardrobe... you'll never find the exact color you need... so what do you do??? change the color in photoshop... but do it after searching high and low on the internet because it's like cheating.... do it when you dont have a choice...

i recalled my very basic editing skills when i was editing the casting videos of talents.... it's kinda fun seeing them act and stuff... until i come to a pair of identical twins... oh my god... its so hard to differentiate and join their videos together because its hard to tell who is who... the best thing is their mom decided to dress them exactly the same during casting... oh great... just as if their face wasnt hard enough to differentiate... and now you have to dress them identically too????
i also saw a 10 year old girl who is as tall as me... gosh!!!! she is just 10!!!! i think she bump into the ceiling when she's 18...

what else??? oh ya... the wonders of a photostating machine... and also the scanner... we were required to photocopy like hundreds and thousands of stuff for the final pre-production presentation.... using up like 2 packets of paper... woohooo...

searching for maps... shooting locations... i now even can DRAW!!! i actually volunteered to draw the map to our location... wahahaha... i never ever imagined me volunteering to DRAW.... even straight lines...

besides... i have prepared storyboards... tranlated scripts... talking about translating.... i have to translate chemistery stuff as well... so thanks to the online dictionary... i can even confirm the names for stuff like bearberry essence... xxxxline.... xxxxic.... do you actually expect me to know or remember those terms???

then there are the powerpoint slides.... inserting pictures... cropping... adjusting.... converting....

brainstorm for ideas for a campaign... on the radio!!!! i have never been familiar to radio commercials... coz usually in assignments we'll usually opt out the 30sec radio commercial and focus on prints ads and tvc instead... so the lack of experience really matters a lot... i'm still blank... sigh~~~~

hmmm.... i guess that's all as far as i can remember....

next week will be a very very busy week as we have 3 shootings all scheduled next week.... wonder what will i become after this???? hopefully i can lose a few kgs.... that will be great.... but till now i dont think that's gonna happen coz i keep eating in the office.... hahahaha... it might just turn out the other way round as i will be gaining a few more kgs... Noooooooooo....


that's practically almost all of my first week of internship....


oh ya... my bi-weekly report... i almost forgot about that....

signing off~~~

Birthday Surprises!!

ok.. so it is my birthday and i'm 21 already... not much changes though....

thanks for all the wishes!!!! all my friends and family!!! even my relatives are wishing me thru facebook!!! wow!!! wonderful!!! i bet they'll never know its my birthday if facebook wasnt around... anyway... thanks!!!

its my birthday... i still have to go to school... went to school early morning... but i reached quite late.. due to the very-couldnt-understand-why-it-happened traffic jam... i reached at around 7.30... and yes.. it's my international advertising mid term today... am i ready for it??? NO WAY!! i only remembered it like about less than 12 hours ago... so what do you think has been drilled into my mind???

ok.. so i still have to sit for my mid term... why do i always have to sit for exams, do presentations and stuff during my birthday??? its usually like this... unless when the ex-sultan of selangor is still around... coz his birthday is on the second saturday of march which usually is my birthday too... so it'll be a public holiday.. wahahaha....

mid term??? still ok.. much much much better than the damn multimedia broadcasting which i somehow totally flunked the whole paper becaue i dont know how to answer a single question on my set... whilst i can answer almost all the questions on the other set... tuhan damn thing!!! this is so unfair!!!! anyway... the "best" thing about the IA mid term is it has questions about the videos that have been shown throughout our lectures... oh very good!!! i never really remember those videos... so somehow crapped a whole lot base on my imagination....


then it's time for our short film voice over recording... thanks to facebook again... the whole bc5 knew its my birthday... they sang me the birthday say in the broadcast lab... hehe... sweet.... thanks!! then they gave me a very very special present... wohoho... i'll reveal that later...

and guess what??? on my birthday... i got an OFFER LETTER!!!! wey-hey!!! its from XuanWorks.... an advertising company... better than nothing... since i have received not a single word from NTV7... Vision New Media... Red comm... even Astro.... maybe one sentence from ntv7 that i'll know my status after 2 weeks which is waaaay past the deadline.... so ok... XuanWorks i'll go...


maybe its just some birthday luck... even multimedia broadcasting lecture doesnt sound as frustrating as the past few lectures.. or maybe its just my mood....


i finally got the offer letter and i'm safe from being arranged to tuhan-knows-where by the university.... i think its mere birthday luck... thank god!!!


p/s: about the present from bc5 as i mention earlier.. there's something wrong with my camera... so i think i'll let you guys see it a little later then... so sorry...

lucky week... happy~~

last week was one of the happiest week of my life... not only i have a very enjoyable shooting experience... my high school buddies decided to treat me sushi as an early birthday celebration... wahahaha... so touching... sushi zanmai... yummy!!! photos??? later la... with huiping...


actually they wanted to buy me a present as well.. but... i know the japanese meal was kinda expensive already... so being a very "considerate" friend... i "refuse" to choose a present lo.. wahaha... i actually kinda like the bear and the mickey purse... waahahahaha... i'll buy it myself other day la.... but too bad the chicken is a little "cacat-ed" or else it'll be great... rachel can have a chicken to teman her... so cute... she likes hen... so dont get any chicks... get a hen!! time always flies when we have so much to talk about when we are together... although this time its only me, huiping, jiashan and rae... we still have a lot to talk about... never-ending topics... weewawaweewawa....


i really enjoyed the meal!!! thanks to huiping, jiashan and rae!!!! sushi rocks!!!! wahahaha...

when is the next time we are going out??? lets go pyramid again??? then i can buy the mickey purse and the bear bear... wahahaha.... anybody??? teman me.....


i just love gatherings.... especially with old buddies.... i love talking... talk non stop.... sharing our lifes and stuff....


ok... it's really my lucky week besides the frustrations of the internships and stuff... nobody replied me still... maybe because its a public holiday today and i resubmitted my applications on friday... so weekends plus public holidays... nobody will entertain me la!!!

so in the end... the lucky part still overcome the frustrated part... overall i'm happy....

great experience~~ missing it already

after a total of 6-7 days of hectic shooting... our short film production week has finally come to an end...

day1.... ktar (setapak) .... went back at 9pm...
day2.... Utar (PJ) ... went back at 7 something...
day3 & 4.... Rawang (Cymon's house with a very cute doggie name ah boy... missing it!!!) went back at 9 something on day3 and almost 12 something at day4...
day5.... PV10 (setapak)... went back at 6 something....
Day6... UTAR (setapak), tiff's house (selayang), some random playground at setapak ... went back at 3 something the next morning!!!!

this morning... i reached home at almost 4am... around 3.45am i think.... that's the first time i'm driving back myself so late or maybe it should be "early".... like what yan jan said... we gave a lot of our "first time" to this production....
after reaching home.... i straight away went into the bathroom... wash up... and on the bed i go... finally... i can sleep without the alarm clock ringing during wee hours...

woohoo~~~ that sums up our shooting schedule... it was great great fun!!! and i'm missing it already.... i miss the whole bc5.... anyway... we'll be meeting up again after all our assignments are done.... we'll be celebrating in Jogoya!!!! wooo-hooo!!!

this is certainly a great great experience!!!! i really enjoyed every part of it.... next up... i'll have to finalise the script... wahahaha....

i think the director is currently checking back the tapes.... to see whether are there any no-good takes that requires a "reshoot"... oh-no!!! i sure hope there won't be any... although i said i miss production week... but certainly.... these 2 days are for rushing off my assignments that are due next week.... so better have nothing in the way....


i'll be posting the photos of production once i get myhands on them..... then i'll be posting up day-by-day reports.... hehe... stay tune!!!!


oh-ya... about my internship.... NO REPLIES... ANSWERS... whatsoever... oh gosh!!! i'm so toast.... screwed... finished.... whatever... you name it.....
please just somebody.... just let me know something!!!!! i need answers by friday!!!!!!
pretty please......

back to reality~~

wog wog... it's 10.15am....


i know i'm thinking too much that people will respond me right after they receive my application.... ya-la.... because when people are desperate... they tend to be very very totally very extremely and extraordinarily naive and sometimes stooopeed....

it's just like when you are trap in the dessert with no water.... you'll always think that water are just a few more footsteps away.... and water will just magically... un-logically appear out of thin air... and end up.... receiving the very harsh, hard-to-accept truth.... that it is just a MIRAGE!!!!

it's the same principle....

i should not be continuing my stupid hopes of getting any respond today... however i'll just pray hard for next week....


okok.. now i'm thinking.. should i try a few more other places??? or just stick to the 3 i'm aiming and just pray hard??? how am i gonna choose if i'm accepted into more than 1 place??? I really am thinking too much now....


i'll just drop this thing off for the weekend and just pray hard and hope that miracles will happen next week.... omitofo.... amen...



woah!!! 3 posts in 1 morning.... a record!!! on the last day of february... and i was saying that there'll not be more than 1 post a week during february.... wahahaha.... i guess i do love blogging after all....

signing off!!!! for real!!!

argh..... waiting is torturing....

It's currently 9.30.... zero replies... but the number in my inbox did increased!!! ya... 2 new mails....

wooooo -drumrolls-





facebook notifications!!!!!


waaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Please don't do this to me... and yes... i confess that i secretly hope that those who applied the same place as me does not have a CGPA higher than me....
yes... i also hope that the person applying also does not have better qualifications than me...


eh-hello... this is the real world here!!! competition!!!! you'll have to fight for things!!! and when you can't fight with your hands... the least you could use is to fight with your qualifications.... but the only thing i'm losing out here is my employment history.... which is a HUGE... i mean HUGE factor when it comes to applying for a job, intern or whatever.... my employment history is a total joke if i were to insert them in... so i just eliminated the whole column....


so what now??? i'm still waiting... oh well.. i'm posting my 3rd application later... via snail mail... i really hope the snail will be able to arrive its destination in the least 3-4 days or i'm toast!!!! come on come on.. you can do it mr. snail!!!!!

I'll be checking my mail everytime when i got the chance... i'll on my phone 24/7.... pick up calls even during 3am....
