Upss..

Yesterday took a leave and went to Indonesia embassy to renew my passport. Gotta wait about one month for it. Stupid me thought can get it directly on that day, which make me innocently asked the staff,”Boleh ambil sekarang? Di sana ya? [pointing to the opposite counter]” He replied,”Haiya, kamu pikir ini fast food, McDonald’s? Order di sini, ambil di sana? Anak sekolah, baca donk suratnya.” Upss.. Malunya.. Funny thing happened between my boy and the Indonesian taxi driver on the way back to Taman Melati. Not gonna write it here else he gonna chop my head. =PP.S. Max, if you wanna arrange any gathering on this weekend please let me and Andrew know by sms or call ya. Cos we won’t go back Puchong this weekend.

‘Down time’

I feel useless. Dissapointed with myself. Can’t stop blaming myself. Take but never give. Too much of being Leo sometimes. Down. Drowning. Let me be in this shitty mood for a while until I’m ready to pick myself up.

About yesterday - What a day!

Thank you everyone that has greet me happy b’day on yesterday or earlier than that, thru sms, friendster message and testimonial. Thanks for remembering my b’day. I know you all busy with work and study. Eventhough we are apart, but our heart are always close to each other [refers to everyone, no matter where you are, Medan, Jakarta, KL, Aussie, TW, bla bla bla] . It was a ‘great’ normal day. It started like usual, go to work with LRT and taxi, do work, go back at 6pm like that. Surprisingly bus wasn’t so crowded, still got place to sit. Good day! Usually it’s so crowded inside, full! Traffic was smooth, no jam at Masjid Jamek there. Usually it needs 20-30 mins to move from there to Pasar Seni. Good day! I can go back earlier and watch the Lake house VCD - by Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock. 6.30pm - Walk to Pasar Seni LRT station, so crowded and I got another ‘good’ news - LRT system got problem! The 22 [or 21?] LRT station all lumpuh. Have to wait 2-3hours. Sigh.. So ngam that it happen after office hour when all people rush home. Duh.. People still queueing to buy the ticket and those with monthly ticket still kept going in without knowing what’s going on. Duh.. Can’t blame them. They were rushing home, who care with the notice stick on wall. The message is not clear though they did announce it thru speaker too. And the guard, they would tell what happened if only we asked. It will be good if they write the notice clearer and close the ticket entry place so people won’t go in without knowing anythg.

When I walked outside to Central Market’s parking area, I saw this. Yes, LRT stop not far from the station, crowded inside, with open doors. Imagine, hours at there, oh no..

Wait quite long, after dinner with my boy at McD [the worst meal I ever had in McD, the chicken's meat inside Chicken McDeluxe was so hard to chew, like overbaked or not fresh -__-. I should've complain], we went home by bus. But it’s until Wangsa Maju only. Have to walk back home. Get home safely at about 10pm. What a day~!P.S. Thanks to Kar who has made an effort to be the last person to greet me on 11.59pm but in the end late 20 mins. LOL…

Shocking news

I can’t believe this. My friend in Medan just sms me. There was a girl commit suicide at Sun Plaza yesterday. She jumped down from the 4th floor, in front of the food court. It is the highest level; if count from the ground floor, then it supposed to be 7th or 8th floor! *imagine the scene and the place* Her head broke and brain bla bla bla came out. Can’t believe it. It’s been a long time I didn’t hear someone jump and commit suicide in a plaza. And now, it happens in the luxuriest plaza in Medan.My brother has told me about this yesterday and I thought it was just a rumour. But no. Still shock now, thinking of how high it is and bla bla bla. May she rest in peace.

Counting hours

Am so bore this whole day. SIENZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzz!!!Thought of went out and have a window shopping, but raining in the afternoon. Sigh…

Counting hours. Gonna leave my TEEN age soon… No more sevenTEEN eighTEEN nineTEEN but TWENTY bla bla bla. I feel like it was just yesterday when I turn 17 and finished my senior high school and worried about where to continue my study. Now, I’m on my way to graduate from Diploma and worried about where to work after this. Time flew so fast. It’s been 3 years and still, there are people out there who thought I’m still study at school or I’m 16 bla bla bla. -___- Oh no….

This thing just happen recently when I have my internship at O&M. There was this lady who thought that I’m daughter of an auntie who works there. -___- Lagi surprise me when she said that I look so young, like SIXTEEN only. -___-

Well, there are few people there who thought that I’m the daughter of this auntie who work there. [she's like the head of cleaning service or sth like that] I don’t know where is this thought come from. Maybe they saw me quite close with this auntie. She’s 60 years old already but still very strong and active plus she looks younger than her age. She thought I am from Penang since I speak Hokkien with her, after I found out that she spoke Hokkien too. Not only her, quite many people there speak Hokkien actually. I’m quite surprise. But, I’m gonna see her until end of this month only cos she will have one month break. Company ask her to cuti one, don’t know why. She will back to work on September, when I left there already. Gonna miss her. She’s the one always tapau lunch for me and others who want one. Far from parents and family, I found a mum and grandma figure from her. She’s so like my grandma, well you know, old lady, chong he but caring. Hehe…

Mission failed

My ‘mission’ has failed and I wasted RM30 taxi fee just to get an awful mood back home. I went to college this morning to get letter to renew my passport. It’s a letter to certified that I’m student there. I thought I can get it today directly. But no. As usual, it needs three fucking working days to get the letter. I have no idea why it takes them so long to produce a letter. Can’t they work fast abit? And as usual, it’s so complicated, running here and there. I thought can get the letter from student service there, but no, have to go to registry. Fine!

I went to student service - registry - student service again. I was hoping that the student service can tell me the address of indonesia embassy, how to go there, what document do I need to bring, photo or whateva. I was hoping too much. They don’t know anything! Not the address, not the procedure or what I need to bring. The reason that she gave me,” We only renew visa. Don’t know about the passport one. You go to Indonesia embassy and ask.” What the fuck? I know that I need to go to Indonesia embassy, but how to go there? What do I need to bring? I came here hoping you can give me the answer. You only renew visa then no need to know others la? This place so called student service but the staffs don’t know the student’s country embassy and they can sit in front and serve students and parent with their limited knowledge? Shoot me please… This position not only need pretty girl with thick make up and style but also brain!

And these people need to practice their listening skill. Cos first I told her I wanna renew PASSPORT and she thought it’s renew VISA. I’ve repeated my sentence a few times but still she asked whether I’ve filled the form for the visa or not. Shoot me one more time… Please deh… Listen until I finish my sentence can or not? Don’t just listen until renew, cos the words after that might be different. Then, intelligently she told me,” To renew your passport you need to go to the embassy, give them your passport and then come back here and give us ur new passport together with old one so we can transfer the visa bla bla bla”. As if I don’t know that I have to go embassy to renew passport, then go college and renew visa. Chew! What make it worse, she don’t know that I need a letter from college before I can renew my passport. She even asked me back,”What letter?” Oh no~! Enough of the stupidity!

I can’t hold on but explode my anger there. Stupid indian guy in the registry and two stupid lady in the student service, these three people is enough to kill me. I know they are not song with me already. Who cares anyway.

I’ve wrote a damn long entry on this subject just now to cool down my anger. But I deleted it already cos I know no one gonna read it as it’s a damn long story and a bit chong he la. =P After a heavy rain, I think I’ve cool down right now. Off to take a nap. Dinner with chris cs later. Long time no see you guys.

P.S. Happy 20th bday to Wiyan. Wish you all the best~! Miss you girl. Am gonna leave my teen age soon too.

AE? [Warning: long entry]

So what makes me fall for AE? It happens during my internship time.

Before the senior Graphic Designer place me in different department every week, she asked me what did I expect to learn from there and what I wanna be. My answer at that time - I wanna learn and know how an agency work, starting from brief until finishing and get to do a real job. What I wanna be? I’m doubtful at this part,”I wanna be an Art Director but I will start as a Graphic Designer cos I’m not that good yet. But I also have interest in account management side, so I’m still searching.” She told me, to be a designer and art director is a two very different thing. You must have passion in design if you wanna be a designer but you can be an art director eventhough ur design is *ehem ehem*, cos it’s about your thinking. Later on, one of the art director told me, don’t just sit in front of computer and do work, the important thing is the thinking, the idea. One thing that make me surprise, when he said,”We are doing this ad to win award, to go to Cannes! I don’t care whether this product can sell or not! We have to think out of the box”. Yes, we need to think out of the box, but the first two sentence? I wonder, is it true that award winning ads not necessary must have the selling point? Then what make them win award? The extreme idea?

One week at account management, one week at creative with Art directors, and now back to Graphic design, I understand about her words now. And what Shahnaz said is true, we need to be exposed to the possibilities, what are the positions in an agency before we choose one to apply for job. First when I enrolled to this course, I only know and think of being a graphic designer. Then know about advertising, AD, CD. But have no idea about AE until the talk with JWT’s AEs that open my eyes and during the internship I find out that there are others department such as traffic, production, bla bla bla. So, ya, have to expose to the world, not being katak di bawah tempurung.

The week at account management is not an easy week. It’s the time when the thought of quitting from O&M and back to college work crossed in my mind. No place to sit, have to walk around and simply grab one round chair and sat beside anyone and ask question. Keep offered help, bugging and bugging them, ask this team, they told me to asked the other team and it kept went on. Well, at least one Account manager wanna sat with me on the first day after saw me kept run here and there, and he do gave me info that I want about Acc management. And he didn’t like it when I said servicing instead of management. Few days like this, nth I can help them, no practise, I thought of quit. I mean, I’ve been trying so hard, but why the result is like that?, that’s what come across my mind. If I go back to college work at MDIC, Lawrence might give me work to do like what he said, transport fee is even cheaper. But I want to know how an agency work and contribute sth, so which one do I choose? I was in doubt and thanks that Janet gave me some advice. So, here I am struggling with agency’s life.

This week at Graphic design side, got stuff to do already, just right after I reply chris’s comment. -__- I was so semangat and hoping to do some job while at servicing there but turn up nth to do. However, I fall in love with account management already. Hehe.. So many things wanna share and talk about~!

Last night ‘talk’

Last night the boyfriend and I went to 95percent for the ‘talk’ by Shahnaz about their new program. I forgot to bring the paper back. Duh.. But I brought the paper about AE and AM training. Hohoho..
