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...




ex assistant producer... san... she have been thru with us during most of our internship days... irreplaceable...


ex employee... chris... will miss her jokes...

~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.....

birthday party...

Last saturday... syahira's birthday celebration..
since i'm working from monday to friday, from 10am to 7pm... there's no time for me to grab anything for her as her birthday present...
so on saturday before going to her house for the party, rachel, cheryl and i hopped to pyramid to see what we can get...

then hold on till night time and head off to her party...

let's see....

the foods

the birthday girl...

The decos

the cake

The gang...

The face when the yummy food all ran out... including the cake...

and... the cat.... uchi

testing testing~~ 123

I honestly did not plan to post anything up on my blog today... but just i have to try out the email posting function... so here goes a blog post of random blabs...

its the 10th week of my internship... and i really think that time sure flies pass... i now have 1 more month to go till i am thru with my internship with my current company...

for now i start to think... whether am i suitable to be in this field or not.. oh well.. i should be i guess.. since i'm accepting and adapting to the real world of working where everybody will only care for themselves and the money... to be realistic and a lil pessimistic tho... you can also find real friends in your workplace.. people can be nicer than they look... but just get ready to face certain cruel facts... dont shunt yourself in your own world and thinks that the world is perfect just exactly like how you pictured it... that's the ostrich's way of doing things.. not human's...

anyway... i suddenly have this feeling of not wanting to go back and study... well.. i guess i'm tired of assignments, mid terms, finals, and the most important factor that influences the most..... MARKS... and not forgetting... CGPA.... i somehow prefer working than studying... i feel that studying is in fact more stressful than working...

ok.. i might have said this too soon... but currently, that's how i think... 

maybe when i officially start working... i'll miss my internship days... as an intern.. you have this "get out of jail free" card which is equivalent to a "make mistakes but will be forgiven" card.. as an intern... everybody knows that an intern knows nothing more than the textbook has... so internship is a time for them to learn... and when people learn... they make mistakes.. but then... it's a normal thing for interns to make mistakes... so as an intern... there will not be much responsbility bared on my shoulders... so its more relaxing and fun... gosh... i said "fun"!!

i certainly dont have the mood to carry on with my studies already... i guess i have 1 month and a half's time to work it out... meanwhile... for that 1 and a half month's time... what should i do???

well... i'm just wondering whether my company would want me to extend my internship.... if they are still willing to pay... obviously i dont mind.. hehehe...

then i plan to catch up with my korean language and do some self study for my japanese... sigh.. languages... you cant just leave them hanging... they'll go away if you ignore them too long...

my dad is also suggesting other places for me to go to as an intern... wuahahaha... he'll have to work with his contacts tho.. 

what else??? i really wanna go overseas... just dont know why.. but i really feel like leaving here for a short period to just breathe some different air in different places... anywhere will do... hk, china, taiwan, japan, korea or even s'pore.... and yes.. i'm very asian... i stick to my continent... because other places are too expensive anyway...

i'm on my last year of studies already... how i hope i can further in other countries... although i said i am tired of studying... but maybe doing it in a different country may help... heheheh... me and my excuses...

ok for now.. i think its long enough.... 

for those who are expecting pictures... i'm sorry coz i'm not sure whether should i attach them or just use the img tag... i'll try that another time then...

signing off...

It's here!!!

This is fast... order placed on last wednesday and thursday... payment settled on saturday...

order dispatched on monday...
and received on wednesday!!!!!!
my biggest order on ebay...
14 books..




ok... it looks 15 here... well.. apparently one of the books was a little ruined by the rain... so they replace with another book... but then.. they sent the book that was ruined too... i havent really open and check how ruin it is.. so i hope it isnt too bad...
well.. at least i can read it...

recap: shout awards

ok people...
for those who always say that my blog has too much words here are some post with photos..
although its not many..
but at least some non-text stuff to boost some imagination...
what am i talking about???

oh.. nevermind...
a brief recap about last week's shout awards...
ghost won the freshest tv show...




to bad cheryl and naz didnt win the best on screen chemistry award... what a waste... they lost to upin and ipin!!!! wuahahaha...



then field trip USA for freshest tv show (non drama)




not forgetting KAMI for best breakthrough movie...





well.. the rest... just google yourself... coz i dont remember the categories...

about last friday...
i didnt get to go home on time due to some "mis-communication" that always happens in my company...
i only get to take off at around 8.15pm...
by the time i reach home... the awards has started!!
sheesh...
luckily i didnt really miss a lot from the live telecast of the awards on 8tv...

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...
