A paparazzi of my own

San tagged me on 'an intern's day'... Now here's the post!


Alarm buzzed me at 6.45am~~~Work forced me to part from my bed! HOW CRUEL~~~

Bathed, dressed up! Ready for breakfast!!

My usual breakfast. Mum's not here with me, no one to cook me nice breakfast~~ huhu

WAAAAAA.....(This clock is 5 mins earlier!) missed 7.45am bus..i left either 8am bus or 8.20 am bus~~ (Early of my internship, i usually go down at 7.15 or 7.30 am to wait for bus and then for once i'm late and i took 8 am bus, realised it reached right on time plus traffic's not so jam at this hour! So , i started taking either 8 am bus or 8.20 if the bus is late! unless if i want to reach earlier to get my work done, then i'll leave home at 7.30!) Dont even bother if i'm late as my colleagues aren't punctual anyway! HAHA

The arrival of bus makes me feel relieved! waiting for bus is a pain as it's irregular! supposedly come 1 every 15 mins but it can take up to 40 minutes to wait for a bus! I didnt like waiting here, no bus stand, most of the passer by will look at my direction and some uneducated @#$%* a**h*** kept looking and called 'moi' plus whistling sound!Some even stop right in front of me although there're ample of space to move forward and kept looking at me while waiting for the traffic light to turn green! If i have the super power to make them dumb and blind, I WILL!

Reached office, 1st thing to do after switching on the pc is to check my inbox for any instructions! We use email to communicate! Black and white is very important in this office! It's a prove for everything! Every monday morning i'll be so eager to check the staff schedule to see who will not be in the office for the week! lol...

Stairways to hell... People from upstairs named it heaven but it's hell for me~~~

YEAY!!!! Habis kerja...in the bus.. 35 mins to 1 hour to reach home~~~

Okie.. i cant take this in the morning, so i make it my dinner! Not enough time in the morning~~~ Need to blow my hair, lotioning, toning, moisturizing~~~ mana cukup masa.. i have cereals at night almost every other day. Too lazy to cook instant noodles. Hey, i strongly recommend this cereal and it's strawberry cereal! Very nice!... Sometimes i will replace Dutch Lady with Soy milk! nice! Back home, bathed, watch tv and eat!

Fruits for the day: Orange my fav! And Prunes to prevent constipation! hehe ( must be yellow packaging 1, i didnt like the purple packaging 1! Just my preference only)

Every night, i'll look for Genting. Yeah i can see the lights of Genting from this Condominium. it's not clear in this picture though.See the small light above the condos?

When the needles pointed 10.30pm, i'll feel sleepy already. Head to bed as early as 10pm but usually 11 something will sleep already. Leading the mundane weekdays. That's why i always look forward to weekends!


And.... all this had ended last week!
HURRAY!!!!!!!!

WEEK 20 -The last, the final, the end-

~~A moment like this...uh~~~ i can't believe it's happening to meeee~~~~
I'm breathing freeeeeee.. Yes yes yo yo !I can't help but to keep smiling while working on my last day. Gosh! That's so not good. I should feel sad? should i? but i'm happy, excited and can't wait to leave! My neighbour, the intern, was looking forward to her day too.. Nevermind la girl, you will have yours! Very soon!

Ah shyt, i've forgotten to clear the rubbish bin on my desktop! Shyt again! i've forgotten to uninstall limewire! Aiksss, ah don't bother, should not be a problem!


Anyway, this month i've been lazy updating my blog. I've spent my weekendS shopping, meet up with friends, sing-k, malam tanglung, back hometown, watched drama, accompany Guan's bro in hospital. So that's how i filled my september weekends.. Busy but full of satisfaction! I'm so loving it!
Here's my Farewell ,

The dishes: Sweet& Sour fish, Tom Yum Soup, Gung Pao Chicken, Fried batter prawn, Claypot tofu, Vegeteable..( Bad quality picture, pai serh!)

Chun Cheah (the only young guy in the office), Cheryl (no longer the youngest among the permanent staff), Khairun (the intern), Ida (the thinker), Hyma (the sarcastic but nice lady), Joee (the intern) and Nadia (the poser). So muhibbah right???

As what the Lohans said, "Screw this, we're doing it! We're going to.....take....you...down!"

Ida, my nice nice colleague! *

Look!!!!! I'm loosening my belt! OMG, i was that full!!

Now presenting>>>>>Jo and the celebrity ian, and his wife!

After this farewell dinner, i suddenly felt a LITTLE of sadness. I bet i'm going to miss them but not the office. I feel dreaded having to go to work. This feeling strikes me almost every other day!


Early in the morning on my last day in EPA, Khairun gave me chocs as my farewell gift. How sweet of her! Thanks girl! I always wanted to get her flower to put on her desk but failed to do it. Even during lunch hour of my last day, we've spent too much time waiting at Sakae Sushi which make all of us late for work. As for my appreciation towards epa people, I'd bought them donuts! 3 boxes of Dunkin Donuts! No other options which can suit my budget. Apa la KLCC! No J.Co, No Big Apple, No Baskin Robbin~~~ sigh~~~ PEOPLE !!!!DUNKIN DONUTS SUCKS~~~~

Lunch-ing

Donuts for EPA colleagues... Thanks for all the goodness and badness!

Pandan and Choc Rolls Cakes

Jan the Account Manager told the Director that it's my last day, (Yes, he didn't know it's my last day, bosses are always busy to remember the little small things). No exceptional for this! So, he asked her to buy some kuih for the whole epa to celebrate, or maybe to just makan la.. So Jan bought Pandan Rolls and Chocolate Rolls from King's Bakery. And again we have a small makan session before the day ends!

MY DESK!!!!!MY CUBICLE!!!!!!

So long EPA~~~ Farewell!

Daisy

Fri, Aug 15.... It's the last day of one of the exec in office...Supposingly a newcomer who take over her place should come, but she got a counter offer from her employer and there she goes leaving shyt to the company. Peacefully i was, waiting to end my internship which will b in a month plus... Ruined~~~2nd S.A.D gave me a call and asked me to see her~~~ I.... i have to take over part of the exec responsibility! Rushing daily reports, doing all craps which sounded easy but confusing! Everything might come to a stir if i miss any steps. Plus looking at how Khai kena from S.A.D when she was handling the report. Khai is another intern, a potential and brainy outstanding intern!
Back to my desk after having tuition on how to do her report, i kept thinking ' i can do it, it's easy! and i only have 1 month plus left AND AND AND they will soon hire 1 new staff! ' ... Khai understands how it feels, but i didnt feel that terrible actually, maybe coz i know she can help me. The timing is just so right, LUNCH HOUR! So, i tot of not to spent much as im broke! What the heck, just go and have a good time la! Went KLCC for lunch, wanted Nando's but long queue, end up in Delifrance! Bad food! No more 2nd visit!!!





Passed by a florist, and Khai wanted to buy flowers. She bought a stalk of daisy. Pink Daisy! It's nice, and suddenly she says 'It's for you! Take it!' I rejected, but she still insist.


Pink Daisy*Nice kan???

Chen and Khai. Thanks a lot girl!!!

Funny!!! She didnt put on her cosmetics today but the rainbow and daisy are enough to make her shine!

Us again! Both tak ada hati mau kerja!

My current desk... so many documents~~~Ah, want to put all those files away!!!! Messy messy messy!

Hey, Rika, u've suggested that i place flowers on my desk. Now i finally got 1! haha, woy, it really make u semangat a bit leh! Now i want to put flowers when im done! anyway, it cost only around RM3 for 1! Thanks Thanks Thanks KHAI for cheering me up and offering help!

Pricey edu

Previously i've promised to blog on the tailor's new Sri Hartamas campus designed with a modern contemporary look. I went there before the launch and i thought i wouldn't have the chance to attend the launch. It was not until the last minute, my S.A.D asked me to join in as they didnt have enough people to organize the media. So, Aug 12, i get to witness this grand launching of the Sri Hartamas new campus officiated by the Deputy Minister of Higher Education. RM6 million spent to caters only A-levels students.

Amazing isnt it. It's just the student library! Looks cozy!Nice kan? it's best suited with having Starbucks!

Student Central


The lockerS... not bad right, but i doubt if they have enough lockers to cater their students

Fitting DISCO into the educational place?

Uhhh, it's D-I-S-C-O-V-E-R-Y!


SHHhhhh.... Silence Please.. (I'm not sure whether it's the exam hall or what, anyway, it creates a younger atmosphere i guess. at least not the classic look of an uni)



Anyhow, i'm wondering the student there are paying for education or paying to be spent on the building maintenance fee~ Hey ,how long does beauty last anyway?

Only July

Looking at my poor abandoned post, I should do something to it! Now that I’m back home and have sufficient time to live it up again, I’ll just cerita some random happenings in the month of July.

Medicines for food poisoning. I'm covered with darkness when i'm SICK! Having to walk alone with a stomach cramp, low blood pressure, diarhea and cold sweat to the clinic is by far the worst feeling i ever had! Almost fainted while walking to the clinic. Though it's just barely a 10 minutes journey to the clinic, my conditions are good enough to make me feel so lifeless. Back home, no strength to boil water to go with the medicine or eat anything. At that moment, i could only build clouds of mum taking care of me when im sick, cooking porridge for me, bringing medicine to me~~~~. I always wish to get MC to stay away from my working place, but i now realise, sick is worst, i'd rather work!

As the result of my food poisoning, i'd lost some weight. Not much but hmm i felt it can be clearly seen here. Compare to the below pics! Anyway the next day, it's the moment of joy! Finally get to see san since April~~~~ The fours are reunited! Also happy to meet my coursemates at South City!


During MABC-AMBC joint luncheon with the present of the official state visit of the honorable Kevin Rudd. To show some professionalism, i decided to not to take out my phone for some shots. i end up taking this stupid twins corn tower while having lunch outside when no one is around (yes, everyone's in the hall but me and my colleague). It's so hard to be in the corporate world where you have to hide your silliness in order not to be a fool among those 'respected' people.
Peraduan Detik Gemilang, me at the media registration table. At this moment, i really wish my friends are here to cam-whore with me. Rika, Be, Sannnnnnnnnn where are you guys???? Note that pics are only taken when no one is around!

The organiser and the PR agency ( only me and ida, my nice colleague l) during the F&N team building activities with the orphan on a saturday. First time working on a saturday since internship. Anyway , i had fun playing with them.

Where am i???? i'm so afraid that the kids will fall down!

Shany, Qins and me during Shany's and her hubby's late celebration of their brithday. Had Thai food! Yummy, and i know it isnt yummy when you're displaying pic of human and not food! lol, Obviously you can see my weight gained since the food poisoning! Even my arms are back to the normal size~~~

Cheryl (My nice colleague ll) and i at the Taylor's new campus for a inter-school debate. i really like the new campus besides its freezing temperature! Shall show some shots of the new campus in my next post okie.

This is my current roommate a.k.a housemate! Took this shot because we coincidentally wore the same bright yellow shirt to sleep~~~ hehe..

Well this post has come to an end... and for your information,i'm still anticipating for the end of the internship.

Lost

Unhappy...
Feeling lost~~~
Hoping so much up to the extreme to finish this period
Wishing that September would come now
Stupid internship
stupid company
I REALLY REALLY REALLLLIIIIIIIIIIIIIII WISH SEPTEMBER IS HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Ok la, ntg much.don't worry about me. Just that i've made some mistakes and it's like a SIN. i've broken the trust of my colleague and S.A.D. (senior acc director). Perhaps they didnt even once lay trust on me and never will. And they won't give me as much work as they used to. GOOD? BAD? i dont know!

hmmm sounds like some BIG mistakes.. Not that much of a problem la, working life is like that. Just that i've think too much. Misery~~~ I NEED TO GO BCK HOME! It's Thursday already and tomorrow will make me happier..

Why do happiness pass so fast and never stay? Is that God's message to let us know how to appreciate happiness? Why sorrow comes? Why must He balanced every emotion? Cant He let it be happy-go-lucky forever?.....(I've lost my rationality today)

Hye, i dont know why am i so emotional in this blog. Even felt like crying whilst typing! Listening to Mayday- zui zhong yao de xiao si. Makes me lagi emotional~~~

Media torn!

I thought she’s nice and jokingly send an email to me. It was the first time I receive a reply from the media. I’ve sent her a news release with pictures. It’s about the media drop-off I’d delivered with my colleague which I’ve mentioned in my previous post. And so I thought she’s working together with Jay in the same company.

The morning mail I received from her was about the product samples which we delivered to the publications and she asked if she wasn’t included in it. I never realize her “ha…ha and no worries” which was written on her email was sooooooooo sarcastic. Me and my colleague, who’s my senior, sent her a reply saying that we’re terribly sorry for the misunderstanding and promised to include her in the next one. And there she was calling me in the evening and talked me out on it.

Duck: “ how can you THOUGHT we’re in the same publication? What do you even mean
by same publication. I’m in ** Communication! Are you new here?
Me: Yes, I’m really sorry for this misunderstandings. As I was saying I looked for the editor when I called this number. And I did mention that I’m looking for Ms. Duck the editor. And the girl explained to me that there’re no editor here, only local representative here and she passed me to Jay. So, I thought it’s the same and that is why I addressed it to Jay for the product samples.
Duck: How can you make such mistake even though you’re new? Let me ask you, do you see Jay in your events? ….tell me!
Me: hmmm no? i….
Duck: And that’s how you treat me? I’ve been doing publicites for you guys for all this while and this is what I got? What have Jay did for u guys??? He’s been doing nothing for you guys, not even attending your event!
Me:..hmmmm….i’m really sorry.
Duck: Pass me to AC.

*note: all names mentioned are just nicknames! (Duck-the media, Jay-the media, AC-my account director)

Ah, and so I explained briefly to AC on the issue before passing the line to her and Ac asked me to pass to my senior who’s incharge of it but Duck insist on speaking to Ac. So, I didn’t bother much then till Ac came down. I thought I will get a call to go up and face the music from Ac or any of the senior account director (SAD). Thankfully, no one scolded me! Ac came down for a drink and I asked her how was it (I’m so prepared to get scolded). Instead of scolding me, she just asked me what happened and grinned. That’s all! GOSH~~~ my lucky day? Then my senior came down and asked me to prepare a press kit for her to pass it to Duck the next day…

Ah, what a media~~~~~~~~~so pretentious! I thought she’s jokingly asking me for the product samples. Didn’t expect that she cares about the undelivered product samples. Can’t she just forgive us for once. Why make a whole crap on it? It’s just a misunderstanding! Hmm…maybe jay’s a torn for her! *pissed off*

A miserable PR beginner

This week past in a glimpse of eyes. That fast!!!! I think my spirit is working well with my current life. i'm learning...i'm procrastinating...i'm confused....

Wednesday kena a bit from 'bossy'~~~ She makes my life @*&%# that miserable! A victim of a pressurize woman! Make me a lil bit teary la i admit... just teary for a second!Every second makes me felt like i'm leaving i'm leaving i'm leaving~~~~in 4 months time!-.-lll
Heck, but after that day, everything turns out ok! Supported 2 events this week, tailor world class scholarship and a MoU signing.

Cheryl and me in tailor's world class scholarship, Hilton KL. uh, i'm getting all those weight i've lost~~~


Roses on the table..looks nice in the pic but not when u see it with your own eyes.

Gosh, im getting more and more hopeless now. I should learn and keep learning and work hard. I'm slowing down, denying reality, i'm not advancing, i just know how to procrastinate! The thing is, my passion doesnt flares anymore in this field. In-house PR and a real PR associates is so different. There are similarity but PR agency writes more than expected. The PR i'm in now involves writing press release, speeches, emcee-script for the client and media. Do you know how important is a news release? Reporter would attend an event, extract some of the facts in new release and quote interviews, voila-there you go NEWS! So, you see how important is a PR?... I look into the newspaper, thinking, what can i do if i couldnt even take this little pressure.. hmmm TELL ME! What else can i do??? Cleaner?Sales girl?Promoter?Kindergarten teacher? duh~~~~~~~~ i better go kahwin n jaga rumah~~~ OMG, that was the last thing in my mind few years back, how can it be the top listed in my life now?

Oh yeah, in my previous post, u guys saw my desk right? there're four desks but only 1 occupied. Meaning, i'm alone. Luckily the account office is just behind me and Jan is there to chat with me. yes! we can hear each other although she's in the room and i'm outside. Pity her, she's very stressful, and i always kacau her, make her laugh!haha Her assistant left so she's alone too.. Although there're only 3 staff downstair and 9 Staff upstair, i still felt cozy downstair. upstair is hell~~~~~~ let's hope this blog is not seen by the upstairs ppl!

PPL!Should i decorate my desk ar? It's like 3 months 3 Weeks left nia... how? any suggestion??

**Notice tailor..i know it's the wrong spelling..did it intentionally! I anti that name..just anti~~ ma guai fan!

My 1st week of intern!


My BLOG! yeah...i finally have one...

>>>>>WELCOME<<<<<

Uh i'll just skip the opening... couldnt be bothered what to start off..anyway, i just wanna complain about my interns days.. It's a shyt thing. I don't know why i choose this company..the name sounds good but up till now, i don't share the same passion that i have for PR anymore. Ok, it's just the beginning of everything, and i kept motivate myself, everything's gonna end soon, VERY SOON!


For the 1st week, i dont have my own desk and i end up sitting upstair with those permanent staff. I seriously despise it as it's like too convenient for them to delegate work to me! Anyway, the main prob is i cant view my own web, play my own msn and anything personal. i was too early for work for the first few days and wed start, i took 8am bus instead of 7.15! My work there are, faxing media invites, helping with media monitoring which the task title sounded pro but it's actually just printing the template and paste the newspaper cutting~~~ then, i start with helping to key in media reports and calling out media to check whether have they received our fax or email on events and ask whether they will be attending or not...Some medias r not easy to be handle ya know, esp during their rush hour!

My temporary desk~~~ It's called the server! I want my own desk!!!! Might be having my own desk next tues! Uh that's my backpack down there! I'm ready to go back hometown! It's FIRDAY!!!! wakakka...


MY FIRST EVENT: Thurs, i went for event.It's a school recycling campaign and i'm in charge of the media registration! i have to meet up with lady boss, 7.15 at KL Sentral.. so i started waiting for taxi at 6am in the morning and reach KLsentral at 6.50. Damn thing, i walked the whole corner of KL Sentral just to find the main entrance when the entrance is so so so so easily to find! STUPID ME! i thought the lady boss will be punctual n i dare not late otherwise she'll leave me there and i would have to miserably find my way to shah alam wisma. Get to know the F&N in charge person..Got the goodie bag too..Still not enough to make me happy!


Miserable me~~~ waiting for 5.30 pm to come! As usual, i'm earliest to come so just snap some before they arrive~~~


ooOoo
