Imma KISS.

30Jun09

Hehehe suke nak cari catchy punye title but 9.45 out of 10 times, selalu lame.

Okay so I’m going to keep this entry really short and simple because I don’t have pictures with me now so it’s all words. And we all know how entries with all words and no pictures are bluhDULL.

This week’s going to be a long week because there’s no events to look forward to. It’s my 5th week of internship and it feels like I just started a week ago. Time’s been passing by pretty fast I have to say, guess I’m really enjoying myself :D

There were no events on my first week, but since it was my first week, everything was so new and interesting that I didn’t need to depend on an event for the week to go by quick. On the second week, there was Chic POP! That was definitely a fun event. For girls especially! And on the third week, I helped Michael out for my first ever KLue Plus 5! I was super excited for this one because – okaylah I also don’t know why. But it didn’t turn out to be as fun as Chic POP :( It was still fun lah, but I guess I didn’t enjoy myself as much as I did for Chic POP. Saad! And then came last week! URBANSCAPES 2009! OMFG I’ve been looking forward to this event eversince I applied for my internship at Freeform. So you have no idea how excited I was when last week came.

But last week was a super duper busy week for me. Apart from having to assist anyone and everyone with Urbanscapes, and pack stuff up to be brought to KLPac, I was also assisting Valene with Chic POP’s post event report. I was quite pissed lah at first because I wasn’t supposed to be doing that, but then when I saw the final report and saw how much I’ve done, it was satisfying :) And they’ll be presenting it to Samsung too! So, yay to that!

Okay I was supposed to keep this short. BYE!

Whooppeee I finally have time to blog. But I don’t have any pictures of last week’s KLue Plus 5 with me now cos I’m in the office.

I like what I’m doing, just so you know :D Being an intern is not all about being tortured lawl. I love my job, I like the environment I’m in so yeah. Life’s been really exciting these past few weeks.

Urbanscapes 2009 is this Saturday, and I can’t wait! Dragged Jason and Wai Kuan to be volunteers too wheee! So we’ll be working togetherr! :D

Been a social outcast for a couple of days now hahaha only because I have a lot to do. But I ain’t complaining! I love being passed things to do.

So who’s going to this year’s Urbanscapes? :D

So how’s life?

12Jun09

WARNING: RIDICULOUSLY LONG POST AHEAD. ONLY ATTEMPT TO READ IF YOU HAVE NO LIFE – Eg. AMY AZHAR

Life’s been great, thanks! Hahaha. This whole week has been crazy. Like I’ve been having tons and tons of things to do every single day, non stop. For 4 days, I’ve been working my ass off. I guess work wouldn’t be this hectic if it wasn’t for Chic POP that happened last night – which is like my first ever event ever since joining Freeformmm?? Whoopeeee! But sheeze, work piled up like poop okay. And it didn’t help that even though I had so much to do, people still asked me for help -.-

Okaysh. Before we get to Chic POP, I shall first talk about what happened last Monday. It was my first job outside the office, which I was surprisingly(or not) excited about heeheee. I had to be at The Curve at 8am on a freekin’ Monday. But it wasn’t that bad lah. My dad dropped me off before he went to office. What we had to do was to set up a window display at Borders about the upcoming Urbanscapes 2009 that’s happening this 27th of June. I guess we didn’t do much pun. All we had to do was to get a table for the display, buy some stuff for the display, and set it up. Here’s the result:

I think it looks cool. Jia Wei went wack with the party strings lawl. It should be there till the end of this month, so go see! And while you’re there, go grab a ticket or two to Urbanscapes!

Here’s a link to the online write-up about the display. And yep! Those are my pictures! :D :D

Apart from that, I’ve also been handling the interviews for the Urbanscapes volunteers. It isn’t like a serious/formal interview la so you don’t have to go “Wah you interview people???” It’s just like we want to get to know these people, their past experiences and basically fill them in with the details of what is expected to happen during the event lah. I think it was pretty disappointing on their side having to travel all the way to Jaya One for a brief interview that lasts for like say 7 minutes max? But they were informed lah.

Thennnnnnnnnn.

I think it was Tuesday. Yep, Tuesday. I started working on the RSVP list for Thursday’s Chic POP. Sheeze, there were like 400 plus people who RSVPed! That’s a lot okay. Imagine the amount of e-mails I had to go through and reply. But the replying part, JoyceTheFairy and Kish actually did most of it already lah. I took over because Kish was on MC for 2 days so whatever e-mails that came in, I had to reply loh. And even on the event day itself, people were still RSVPing. Cannot do anything lah that one. So many things to do!

I even had to like reply e-mails at home! LAWL. Okay Freeform(or JoyceTheFairy rather cos she’s the managing editor of TiC) isn’t torturing me. I volunteered to do it at home la. Because I really couldn’t finish it at office and I wanted to go home already. If I left any later it would be super dark and that ain’t safe yaw.

Yesterday was the craziest though. I had to update the RSVP list like a couple of times. And I had to check what’s there to bring to the event. And like pack the printers and laptop. And update the RSVP list again, and then I had to make some changes to the list format because it was kind of messy. And I had to compile the Qs for the questionnaire that was to be handed during the event. And there was this line bug in the questionnaire doc that JUST WON’T FUCKING BUDGE! Ughhh yang tu paling tak tahan. I had to ask Kish, Jasmin and Paolo about it and no one could figure how to get it off. Paolo then just did something and then it yeah it was okay. After compiling the Qs, I had to show it to Jasmin, and made like a hundred more changes. And then print it out. And pass it to Joanne to photocopy, which I think she was pretty pissed and annoyed because it was so last minute and she had a lot to do on her part as well. But cannot do anything la I had to leave the office already kan. I feel bad but really, she’s my only option. Hahah. And like I had to carry the (hmm, let’s count) 16 Samsung Ultra Touch phones. GAAAAAAAAAHHHH thinking of it makes me sick in the stomach. If you’re wondering why I had so much to do, well mostly because Trina left the office early to help set the place up first. And Kish, well Kish had to write for TiC la and Jasmin asked me to do takkan I wanna ask Kish to do kan. SO YES THAT EXPLAINS THE TONS OF WORK -.-

So about the event! Chic POP is actually a brand new series of fashion events by TongueInChic that will happen around KL. This first one was powered by Samsung, and we were indirectly promoting their new Samsung Ultra Touch phone lah. Like people who wanted to be in the lucky draw were asked to fill up the questionnaire AND trade in their phone and in exchange, we give them a Samsung Ultra Touch phone to play around for about 10 minutes. Whoever wins the lucky draw goes home with the phone loh!

The theme, or rather the dress code (yes there’s a dress code -.- such a pain) was black with a touch of red. During a short meeting we had about the event, Joleyn said to wear all black, and use red accessories. Being the most unfashionable person in the office (HEH!), I just took whatever black clothes I have and decide what to wear when I change.

I don’t have a picture of what I wore during the event. But that’s good news though HAHAHAHA.

Anyways. The event was packed. I think more than 200 guests showed up. Eh kejap. Such a bonk for not mentioning where the event took place. Well it was at The Apartment, KLCC. Such a nice place lah :) Though I’ve not dined at such a fancy restaurant heehee. We only took the upper floor though.

DIY signage. See that hand on those pictures, that’s me hahahah they didn’t photoshop my fingers laaa got leftover red nail polish some more -.-

I only managed to take a couple of photos because when the event started, I didn’t have a chance to snap anything -.- But I took photos of myself like crazy when I got home HAHAHAHA. Because the Make Up Store people put on make up for me! And I looked pretty! Well I think so lah? Hahahaha. Such a cool event kaaaaaannn? Free drinks, food, make up. There was also a photo wall where people could take photos and it gets printed out and they can take their photos home, all for FREE! There was also a DIY section to learn how to do some headgear and bling a handphone pouch with Swarovski crystals.

Photo wall area.

Initially, Trina and I was in charge of the DIY section. But while I was being ‘made-up’, JoyceTheFairy went to Trina and asked her to handle the registration booth. When Trina told me I was going to handle the DIY booth alone I freaked. Hahahaha where can? There’s 2 things to do, and there’s going to be like more than 10 people, and I’m handling it alone? Then Trina told me she can do it alone, and asked me to handle the registration because I was the one who has been compiling the RSVP list anyways. So I asked JoyceTheFairy about it and she was okay with it so I was like phewwwww. Only to realize later that the registration table is downstairs, and there’s no air conditioning -.-

DIY area.

It wasn’t hot la, because it rained earlier. And like a couple of minutes later, several people came down saying it’s actually cooler downstairs because there were so many people upstairs lawl! And like around 8.15PM (event started at 6.30PMish), Tiffany came down saying they were running out of questionnaires, so because this is a job for interns(!!!!!!!!), I had to rush to photocopy more, IN HIGH FRIKKIN HEELSS!! And some more the bloody photocopying machine was being an ass so it took quite a while. Some more! I asked the lady to staple the papers together la, and guess what she said.

“Ha, nah, stapler lah,” while placing a cup of staplers in front of me.

I was like !&*@^*%*O%^I wtffffffff. Where got people like that one? Hish. But because she was taking so long, I just started stapling as fast as I could la. Nasib baik she stapled too. Serious bengit that time.

Goodie bags!

So I got 2 name cards (LOL), and they asked for mine but then mine (yes I have a name card! HAHAHA but no name one la, have to write sendiri one thankyouverymuch) was in my bag somewhere so I couldn’t give mine :( So sad! It would be so cool kan to give mine. Cis. Anyways, one of the name cards was actually the make up artist’s who put on my make up for me.

Well, I had to leave early, like 9.30PM because if I were to leave any later than that, I’d miss the last bus back to Shah Alam -.-

The event was such a high I swear. I don’t understand why people would wanna do drugs hahahahaha. I had this 5 second  moment of wowness, with goosebumps! So awesome. SO FRIKKIN’ AWESOME!

Gah tired of typing liao. This entry should make up for the past week of not updating this lovely lovely blog :) Going to Ipoh tomorrow to pick Jasmine up from BRATs! YAAAYYY I mish her heaps :(

Later!

G’morrrrning yawl!

04Jun09

Okay I keep leaving home later each day and I never seem to reach much later to office -___- I’m always early. Sometimes too early, I can’t get into the office because the grills are still locked.

Yesterday Michael told me I’ll be in charge of this month’s KLue Plus 5. I was like eeeeeeeeps?? Okay I have like today and tomorrow to familiarize myself with Junk shiz because I’ll be handling the Junk promo and all.

This is like the ultimate dream job for an intern MUAHAHAHAHA. Okay bad news is, I’ve not exactly introduced myself to every single colleague of mine here yet. Mostly because it’s the beginning of the month and everyone’s rushing deadlines and all so the office is pretty quiet. Trina, my sangat handy person who sits on my left, told me that it’s always extra quiet early of the month. But usually these people get wacky when they’re not busy.

I did introduce myself to Didi though. And she said she’s calling me Joyce 2 from now on lawl. And she taught me how to resize photos in like less than 5 minutes (which I don’t think I can remember the next time she asks me to do. Die.) and said “Okay cool! I can ask you to resize photos from now on!”

Okay that’s a pretty good update as I was thinking to myself in the bus on the way here this morning; I’m never gonna find time to blog as regularly as I used to. Prolly just weekends. But hey I’m always early at the office so why not kan. Yawl love me anyways so you’re welcome!

P/S: Trina said she might leave early today because she’s been having flu for like 3 days now. WTF AM I TO DO WITHOUT HER??!!! Nooo :(
