IT's been looonnggg~~~ SInce i started working all i ever wanted to do when i was back home is to have a good shower and just sit or lay down doing nothing....
Everything has been good, loving my work, loving the people around me, but i still have far to go to get adapt in the social working life as i am still stuck in a very simple student mind where everything seems easy.
Gotta know how to start a conversation when meeting new people, how to present myself properly, how to treat people friendlier and things like that, things where working people should be doing....
Working for Singapore in Malaysia is something that i never expect for my first work as a fresh graduate.... is a good thing where i can step up the standard of my design better, but it's difficult to have a better understanding with the person or colleagues i work with over there since we are always on skype and google chat while working and discussing stuff....
Might be going to Singapore end of August for the final touch of the 3 publications for the big 3 universities in Singapore.... glad that my first singapore publication on Singapore's 100 was well received... ytd just got told by the s'pore GM that a client called and wanted us to work on their career publications after looking through the S100. I was shocked and even determined to do better. And this also means i have a lot more work to do next year....
Yesterday was the quarterly meeting for our company to update the status of our company for the past quarter, and i got awarded as the employee who went the extra mile award and got myself 2 free movie tickets... was totally in shock as i never expect it to happen.... one of my good friend in the same department as me deserve it more than i do.... i shall share the ticket with him as i really admire his work ethics and how he is so good in socializing with other people....
our company's adventuretrip is coming soon, still have yet to come out the design for the banners and badges.... hopefully i can deliver my design on time and got approved with it.... can't wait for the first adventure trip with my colleagues and the whole company. hope it will be fun and what we plan can satisfy everyone's expectation of adventurous.... =)
till then, signing out! PEace!!

Just came back from Hong Kong!! And since then i've been busy preparing for interviews and portfolios...
I had 3 interviews total up. All the interviews were very nerve wrecking. First interview was nothing much, as it can be imagined as the same question that we think they might ask.... what do you see yourself in 5 years and other common stuff....
I really enjoyed the 2nd interview though, and this is one of the company that I was looking forward for their reply... they replied me when im in hong kong! which i had really no idea on how to react in such random situation when im having my holiday overseas.
Went to the interview, and there's a nice lady which I enjoyed talking to her coz she has been so nice throughout the interview session and it makes me less nervous and I deliver everything that i wish to deliver...
Then she brought the graphic design director to meet me and I showed them some of my works... nicest thing is that they praise my work and impressed by it... i really felt the satisfaction from this interview.
Since this company is working for Singapore in publishing their magazines.... i think it's a great place to start my work life... I really hope i can work in this company as their environment is so warm and friendly....
and it's the first time that I encounter more than 1 interview at the same company, i'd been invited for a second interview from this company, but now i have to face the singapore executive director... take that as a challenge, still don't know how to prepare for it though... freaking nervous already!!
anyhow, the 3rd one was not that nerve wrecking coz i already had the decision to go for the 2nd company, the 3rd one was conducted in mandarin which im comfortable with, but the job scope for this company is quite hectic as i have to do administrative work as well, so this will be my backup plan if the 2nd interview goes wrong....
CNY!! CNY!! is beside me! and bro is coming back from NS for the new year.... decorated the house with lanterns and snakes.... haha, my dad bought a deco which sings CNY songs when u touch it... it's sooo cute... but damn annoying, touch a bit only, sing 1 minute... i can't even count how many times it sang as i was trying to hand it on the wall...
Till then, will blog after CNY! or maybe after the interview.... =) ciao!!

Went to Golden Disk Awards in Sepang last week and it was 1 of the best shows ever!!! the environment was windy, not packed and we still can sit and go out to buy some drinks in the middle of the show.... it was one of the most relax standing ever compared to other concerts that I went to previously...
My friend got me tickets in Rockpit zone which cost RM699... gosh~ i won't ever go and buy it myself coz it cost a fortune....
What's even better is the organizer opened the Samsung Galaxy Zone for us (which is nearer)....
Luckily we came 1/2 hour before the show...
we cut all those queuing and standing for long hours just to get viewable standing.... which saves a lot of energy for us to cheer during the show....
and it was the first time I got to see so many artists in 1 day!! make it 2 days for GDA coz is a 2 day event...
counted how long the show took to finish... 6hrs plus plus for 2 days... 3 hours plus for each day.... cool~~
and it started at the time stated unlike other concerts or event...
they can start a 8pm concert after half an hour or sometimes after an hour...
which is very frustrating...
this event is pure professional and their staff are all koreans....
imported staffs... =)
Nicole (KARA), Yonghwa (CNBlue)
Exo-k
Exo-k's MAMA
Juniel
Infinite
BtoB
KARA
Ailee
She and GD got the most cheer during the show....
Shinee

GD
GD performing crayon
After the 1st day show... when i went out from the venue... all i think of is 100plus...
i swallowed 2 tins of 100plus at 1 go.... it was like the most water i'd ever consume at one time....
2nd day i brought a 1.5 litre water which only cost me 90cents~ heavy die! but at least I can save RM2 for a tin of 100plus.... =)
overall it was a great 2 day event.... felt blessed that I can attend this pretigious and expensive event....
Thank you for the blessings....

Hey people~ been travelling to the South of Malaysia from KL,with 3 of my friends, we travelled a 4 hours car trip to one of the states of Johor, Segamat.
First stop of course, Seremban Siew Bao... since it's on the way, we bought siew bao and a few egg tarts as our tea break before continuing our journey.
After 2h30min from Seremban, we reached our destination~ Chuan Bee Bakery and Confectionery... we got the chance to help out with one of my friend's uncle to create a bread catalogue for their bakery shop to be provided to potential customers.... our task for the day would be taking photographs of different breads that Chuan Bee bakery provide to the customers.....
Chuan Bee bakery
At first, we can't get the flow of the whole situation as we had difficulty in setting up everything despite lacking of proper lighting and a studio, but everything is well done at the end of the day with the help of each other....
setting up for shooting....
professional on the move....
We had fun shooting all the breads and eating it =D... after finishing our task, the tauke gave us all the bread which we took for shooting purposes as much as it can feed my 3 meals in a week.... lol~ so many breaddds!!!
we can't resist to take a bite of their breads and their cakes while we are shooting....
After we finished our work, 4 of us were being treated for a dinner with the tauke's family and his son are kind enough to show us around the town by bringing us to their shopping complexes and went to eat the famous chinese roti canai for breakfast which is a must try when u come to segamat.
And I got to learn a lot from their bakery shop on how they operate and they wake up every morning as early as 3am to start baking their bread to be sell on that day....
Their breads were made fresh everyday to maintain the quality of their breads....
and if some of the breads that were unable to sell within 3 days, they will throw it away and it cannot be used for sale purposes.... i think it's a great ethic and is a sign of sincerity in providing their breads to their customers....
Cute croissant... =)
In addition, they also supplied frozen dough to other bread suppliers such as hotels and other bakery shops....
the choices varies from plain bread loaf to wholemeal, black sesame, croissant, and buttered buns...
I had a fun bread trip to the south and it's my first time to had experience such great hospitality from them from the day we reach until the day we leave....
It's a great experience to learn a few more knowledge about bread making and taste some awesome bread...
I would have to say that this journey to Segamat was short but sweet... ;)
Finally I would like to thank you again for all the things that I had been recieving and
it's a pleasure to lend our helping hand to some very awesome people....

arghh~ there's so many things on december!!! how I wish i can spend all my december days with enough money in my pocket.... just finish my university life, which is sad and happy at the same time.... been in the process of moving to a new home this few days... going to leave kl life, and moving to the sub-urban life where public transport is hard to reach, barely see the city buildings... just houses and roads....
but im excited at the same time coz i will be having a new room and a new environment to live in.... still wondering around what's my next step in life.... so many things undone before properly being set free to the real world.... how i wish i can just sit in front of the laptop and watch drama the whole time....
christmas is coming.... my birthday is also coming.... but b4 all of this, 21st dec is still unknown... i don't believe the world will end like this... is just an unusual phenomenon will happen on that day i think.... i do believe that it's not what everyone think of... earthquakes, cracked roads, tsunami, etc....
and my wish for december is that i can meet all my friends and have a small gathering after christmas.... love doing that during year ends... it helps reflect what we had been through together for that particular year.... and something to be grateful for....
tmr furnitures for my room will be coming in.... gona wake up at 8am and clean up my room.... boxes everywhere now, and this is the first time mum never nag about how the house looks so unorganized.... will be having a totally new life this december..... i hope is a good thing....

20th Oct 2012, my first weekend for my last semester in Uni.... decided to take public speaking course.... one of the things i hate is public speaking... but since i would have to choose between psychology and public speaking, i think public speaking will help me alot as an individual and when i come out to work in the future.... 1st week has been busy with preparation of outline for my speech next week... since it's a short semester, everything was done in a hurry as each week will be having 2 tutorials.... it's quite challenging as every week i have to think of a topic to speak on...
and i don't wana suck at it, and i dono why i have this mood to do all this research and looking up on the internet for videos and articles about my speech... i really don't like researching stuff, but this unseen spirit made me do it... maybe i really don wana suck at it... and thinking that this is my last semester ever and i don't have the chance to have this kind of thing going on again.... it makes me felt that studying is actually not bad....
now im looking up on some youtube videos on persuasive speech... it actually helps rather than reading those long articles..... took some points from there and it really makes me remember the points more clearly...
next monday, my first ever speech about "an unforgettable incident" which i talked about how i tripped while riding a bicycle.... it's not the ultimate choice, but i just wana get over it quickly... coz it's too early to get motivated to actually dedicate myself in thinking the perfect title.... and this is the first time i thought that the time given for us to talk about it is too short... which is 2 minutes.... hmmmm, i havent practice and timed myself yet... but since its about my own experience, i think it's still ok....
ok! don't wana blog too long... gona continue my work.... wish me luck!!

went to watch Lee Hyun Woo last week and it was pack as a sardine can..... i wonder why they make the event at sungai wang concourse... it's so small there!! should have made it on the 4th floor instead.... i thought i had a good standing until he came out... everyone's camera was so high up taking his picture... i can't even see him properly... but i managed to use my dslr to zoom it and take some of this pics..... some are a bit blur coz i can't focus it properly since i just raise my camera high up and take multiple pics at 1 go...
some focus on the poster instead....
back to Lee Hyun Woo... he is soooo adorable... like a little kid with an adult body.... love him... he is actually quite a small size, which made him more adorable than ever!!
He came to promote "To The Beautiful You" which aired on Astro onetvasia.... thanks to them we got to see him... although i can't go up on the stage and shake his hand or getting his autograph.... seeing from far is enough for me... and since the environment is so pack, i can't hold it till the meet and greet end... i quickly went out and get some fresh air and a bowl of snowflakes which I managed to finish it at high speed.....
At least i get to see him in person rather than on tv.... it's like an achievement... =) till the next post!! good night!! kpop rocks!!!!!!!

Been sick since last Thursday, lung infections and viral fever.... not good...
went to the clinic immediately the next day...
now im feeling better.... thanks to the medicine...
and the first time the medicine is so tempting....
one of it is to dissolve the tablet in a glass of water and drink it...
the first time medicine from the clinic can taste so good...
but i can only take twice a day...
others with bitter taste have to take 3 times a day... =(
today I sneeze so many times i can't even count... i think got 30 times...
i don't know why, maybe is like in the movies or dramas where
they catch a cold and they sneeze like nobody's business....
I experienced it today... but it didn't affect me physically, im feeling better only with more sneezing...
my appetite came back... and i don't feel sleepy last the past few days
i spent 3/4 days sleeping away after taking my meds...
last night i slept for 14 hours... and it's a deep deep sleep...
woke up at 2pm today and my bro told me last night my sis was back and she talked on the phone so loudly until he can hear her inside the room... i don't hear anything!! lucky me....
can't wait to go out... been staying at home for 5 days now...
still have to dye my permed hair...hehe
but now the perm is not that obvious... maybe i slept too much and it's not curled up anymore.....
should have ask them coloured instead of perm... =( but nvm, will ask my mum to help me colour it... sneezing again... gona go eat my med now and sleep.... hope tomorrow will recover even more.... looking forward to it!!!!!! hwaiting!!!
