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.

Week 7

This week has been tough for me! A mixture of happiness and sadness.Went crazy and back to normal on Friday! LOL, Anyway, I AM HAPPY NOW! i'm back home and im happy! From the moment the needle pointed to 5 and 6 (5.30), my heart beats excitedly, cant help but smile when looking at my ticket!, Macamlah i strike lottery~~lol.. Too excited until i show the personal assistant my ticket to home! And she called me when it's 5.30, ask me to go home, wishing me a safe trip! so niceeee.... Ah, at least i can see some humanity in the grey hell (my office)... too bad, the receptionist isn't there. Or else, we can walk together to the train station. The fact is, i'm only close with the receptionist, account manager and personal assistant. i even SHARE my dislike towards S.A.D. with the personal assistant lately. Cant help but complain. And she told me that not only me, others intern felt so too and even her herself. The upper is upper whilst the lower is lower. Can't blend together!

Now, Let's talk about wonderful moments of this week... Pictures will do the talking.

This was last Saturday. Meeting Peggy again for lunch with calvin and her another colleague. Sorry la, dont have any pics of calvin coz the VVIP is Peggy! lol...



Ma dearest and me in MNG Sales. Went there after work then balik together. Gosh, i've took train twice this week! Taking train cost RM7 including taxi! If take bus RM1 only. Seee th edifference? But train is faster by 15 mins~~~

Outfit #1. Forgot how much already.. Didnt buy, looks kiddy on me~~~

Outfit #2. Didnt buy, looks normal only. i think is RM35.

Outfit #3. Nice colour. RM20. wanted to buy on a second thought. End up can't find my size after tried.

The return of our da jie!! so nice staying in Crowne Plaza Hotel! but the 20 minutes walk to the office in the morning makes me out of breath. gosh~~ i've became lembik since i didnt exercise. 'Stamina-less'...


This is what we had when Da Jie is back. Kim Gary in Sg Wg. No choice but to go there. All 3 of us are too tired to continue walking. (i've walked for 20 mins to Ma's office! then took train to find da jie-->tiring).


Ma, me, da jie cam-whoring b4 bed!

While waiting to clean up ourself~~

Eh, i realize i didnt touch any of my cereal for dinner this week. Had Junks and fruits on Mon, Sakae Sushi on Tues, Kim Garyon Wed, Kuey tiow and dessert on Thursday, and nasi lemak+ zui kuey+fruits on Friday ( coz im back home, so.. a lot of things to makan)! See, people! I'm eating healthily! I didn't starve myself! So dont need complain on my diet! wakakka

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*

Week 5

ah, it's week 5 already!

I realize that Monday is a terrible day for me and when Wednesday comes, i'll keep asking my colleagues "what day is today?----> Wednesday, and what day is it after today?-----> Thursday, and then what day is it after tomorrow?-----> it's happy day!!!" ahhaah, Fridays my best day of the week!!! ah, so poor thing, peggy have to work for almost everyday of the week!
Anyway, this week i've been busy with media drop-off. On Thursday and Friday, i'm out of the office to deliver product samples with news release to the media from several publications. Went to almost all the newspaper office in Malaysia! It has been an eye-opening for me. Yes! I met some of the editors, i went to the magazines and newspaper publications and i went to the factory to take the samples and i get to explore KL and PJ ! It was tiring but going out with this senior is fun then the other S.A.D! She's caring enough although on my 1st week of interning, she gave me a lot of shyt work. She told me that when the time comes, she'll let me write some release. Gosh~~~ Cherrie have been asking me to do write release for like weeks ago since Tailor event and i'm not so eager to try it. My writing is terrible. Although i'm english educated but that doesnt mean im proficient in english! oh, and i met menaga my coursemate while im at bernama. so excited!!!!!!

Look, here are the product samples which are given to the media. The new range of Fruit Tree Fresh 100 % Juice with no sugar added!!! it's actually in the market for like 6 months with sampling activities going on throughout the shopping centre. Hmm no sugar added, how true is it? Does that mean it's not fattening? haha, an unanswered question @.@lll ! Anyway try it la, i havent try it myself but the cranberry looks appealing!

The four exotic flavours of the new healthy juices. i think it's RM 6. plus each! who wants to treat me??? i'm deadbroke again~~~ i wonder where have i spent all my money!! Must be Top-Up cards and transportation and food~~~ Some facts for the juices:

  • Cranberry, pomegranate and apple juice – made from hand-picked pomegranates & cranberries, bursting with vitamin C & anti-oxidants, it’s a natural way to keep cancer at bay. These wonderful fruits with their ruby-red juices give you the refreshing goodness that is sure to liven your day. With no sugar added, it is fresh juice as nature intended.
  • Carrot & wolfberry juice – mix of hand-picked carrots, pumpkins and wolfberry, with no sugar added. Wolfberry or ‘GouQizi’ is a wonder fruit with a mildly sweet taste used in many Chinese soups for its medicinal qualities. Carrot and wolfberry combines to give you the goodness of anti-oxidants and beta carotene as well as vitamin A & C – all important to maintain good eye sight.
  • Fruits & Vegetables juice – all the goodness of 16 fresh fruits and vegetables in one convenient pack
  • Orange juice (with sacs and pulps) – rich in vitamins A, C & E, with the nutrients, freshness and taste of freshly squeezed oranges. Each orange is specially selected for its quality, fragrance and juiciness.
Anyone who buys any of this juices after reading my blog, plz inform me so that i can claim publisity fee from the F&N !! ahahaa, you think they'll give? jgn harap!

The goodies i received during CCM press conference and Cyberview technical tour. Stupiak Shany's foot trying to ruin the capture. That Cyberview gift is a lock.

Here're the upclosed pictures. Pygenol, the beauty within. Eating pills to turn beautiful? gosh, i have no plannng to consume this pills~~~ who wants? tell me! i'll give you the whole tablets! Provition is the multi-vitaming dunno what thing. Flavettes, biasalah vitamin C. Tamsolo, the cough mixture. All edible except Pygenol. Look at it's packaging~~~ not convincing at all!


Me, waiting for darling and his gran in the dental. This book- Change your smile, is scary enough to make you take good care of your tooth hygiene! ah~~~ the way they put the screw in your gums and crown to replace the missing tooth is so so so so scarieeeeeee...

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!
