My dad went Thai for 2 nights already and my aunt suggested that the 3 of us should let our dog out for safety reason. I've never let my dog out of his cage during night time, afraid he might do some great disaster to our garden and worse, kill cats and rats. Anyway, for some reason, I let him out. For the first time! And he's now running freely outside of my house. My brother was so busy moving chairs here and there to block of this and that. Afraid that he might pee or destroy certain things such as our precious shoes! And he kept updating me about Leon's action. I suggested to him:" Must well you put Leon back into his cage and you guard the house. Save the trouble." But then I also kept nagging at my dog, telling him NOT to pee on my car!
Anyway, I'm already expecting the worst. I'll be collecting small dead bodies, washing my beloved car, seeing shit everywhere, dirty paw prints on the floor etc etc all kinds of disaster and worst... busy finding my dog......
I'm really looking forward to what will my house's outside become of tomorrow morning. If you heard some faint shouting from distance early in the morning, it might be me.

Santa Claus is Coming to town...
Conclusion for today's shopping is that cat's small merchandises like keychains etc do not exist!!! I know my supervisor like cats and obviously I can't be buying a real cat neither a soft toy for her. Both are damn expensive, so small items like keychains will be best. But, I went from stalls to stalls and stores to stores and I found NOTHING. I even found crocodile's keychains and all kinds of unusual animals' keychains, all except for CATS!!! It took me hours to finally get one magnet with a cute cat on it...And ya, Hallmark is a damn place for rich people, 1 bookmark costs like RM40 and 1 paper bag RM20.
Anyway, I'm gonna become a santa tomorrow in office. I'm giving my dearest supervisor a box of Quaker's energy bars besides the cat magnet. Wonder why? The energy bars is to let her have a quick bite especially when she will be too busy to eat during shooting. And energy bars are filing, so hopefully my supervisor wouldn't get any gastric problems even if she doesn't eat.
I know I'm sweet... I really thought hard what to buy for my colleagues. Hopefully everyone will be happy tomorrow. And I put a remark on the gift, reminding her to give me higher marks for my internship. LOL. This is what I call an indirect bribery... And dear people, I'm officially broke because of Christmas shopping T.T
Merry Christmas people in advance! May the rest of the world taste peace on this very birth day of Jesus :)

My Latest Hobby
I've found out recently that I'm very into imitating people talking and the way they behave. Someone even got so annoyed that she avoided saying every single word I imitated. She's no longer speaking like herself lol... Anyway just to share a few favorite quotes by certain famous people:
1st Eunice Au Yan Hong: "Ah yea...whatever...Oooohkaaay...ha? what? No ah...ha!You're so mean!! I don't like you...it's like totally cool lah...Ah ya la! What the heck?!" and many many many more
2nd Tiffany Lim Kuan Peng: "Saw that? Come on babeh... Oooooh!! *Bahak loudly* Eh, please la...BABI!! bu shi zhe yang zi de meh? Oh my god! Gou pi!! What the hell!!" etc etc etc
3rd Chong Ley-Lynn: "Acibom bom..shen me pattern de la..what is this?! Eh, excuse me hor..haiyer, ba xia qu er...i tell you, i tell you! Wei! Faint ah!" all the scoldings come out...
4th Yong Su Cheng: "Yer!!! Ano...ah??? aiyer..jiang de lar... mei you ma, ren jia xi huan ma... gou jek ah lo! good! soli hor.. no, no, no...Eh, gan kuai! gan kuai!" all the anime expression etc
5th Ng Jian Ling: "Jeng jeng jeng! Ai yayayaya...zhen me ban...yer...tao yan~! pian ren de..mei you lo..wo gen ni jiang...zhen de, wo mei you pian ni de..." but you wouldn't hear all these from her again, sadly...cause I imitated too much :(
6th Kee Ing Fang: "Ni si ding liao, ni si ding liao! Bobo Chong, ni xiao xin yi dian! Sorry hor... wo jie sou bu dao! ah na... yer,shi lo shi lo!" bla bla bla
Of all people, Eunice Au is the easiest to imitate. I'm still trying to imitate Angeline Ng Feng Hui. She's one of the hardest people to imitate. But I believe the hardest would be me. Cause people said I don't speak like myself, I don't have my own identity. That was the consequence of imitating other people too much. Anyway, this might be my hidden talent.. And I shall continue to groom it!!!

to be continue...
Long time no see people and fans, I'm back from my military training and my journey here shall continue again...
I tried really hard to blog during the week but was really really tired, tak larat langsung to even online. I hibernated for 12 hours and forced myself to wake up and I just only woke up. I'm now stuck with my journal. Shit... it's torturing to think back what I did for the past 1 whole week. Cause the things I did were countless...
I'll be free next week doing nothing in office, so hopefully I will be able to tell more about my training asap. Stay tuned folks!

Kaden turns 3
This time, his birthday party went for a bigger one.. More strangers and their kids turned up, apparently they were all neighbours etc. The most amazing thing besides food was the clown. He really made all kids went home with a big smile on their faces. Ok, I admit, even mine, which my cousin was so happy teasing me as I was caught laughing out loud at the clown's performance. It was quite funny ok? And I was quite into his performance... Anyway, he made different things out of the balloons. And all 10 plus kids have their full equipments...
And finally Kaden's...the most special one...
We were even more excited over his presents than Kaden himself. These were all no match for his standard as he plays WII and gameboy...
I miss the cupcakes!!
Will miss such family gathering..it has been a long time since I last meet up with them...Anyway, time flies and this little rascal is now 3 years old and can talk hell a lot now...

Stupid Facebook, everytime like that... I already logged into my account and don't know why on earth it often says that I'm not signed in and therefore, I'm not able to do this, do that. Worse still, when I clicked on to my profile, they showed me general informations about me. And I only have options like add Evon Chong as friend. Seriously Facebook is totally senseless... I'm logged in but I'm require to view my own profile and they want me to add myself??? What a joke!
Seriously annoying! Have to logout and log in again.. Dumb!

Ijok
Today is a Sunday, tomorrow is a Monday and also a public holiday, for me there's no difference cause both are still working days...
Went to clean up the main shooting location- Ijok. You have no idea how horrible the place is. I shall continue from my previous post to describe the horribleness of this place. Besides dried 'paper' rat, there were also dead birds... and worse of all, maggots and baby cockroaches!!!
Not only that, there were really old posters everywhere (seriously everywhere and I don't understand why those people just have to nail them!) that we needed to take out one by one from the wall (wooden). Those posters were fragile (many ten years already) and we needed to peel them off carefully (still need them for shooting). And worst of all, some of them were full of spider webs or some kind of eggs... EWWW!!
Then came to moving cupboards and the bed!!! We have to move the bed from downstairs to up... And it's only a small wooden house and of course the staircase is those old shop's narrow and wooden and creaky staircase. Oh ya, and also there isn't any handle! Since the staircase is so narrow, we needed to dismantle the bed frames into pieces before moving it up. Then, attach them back together... Lastly, move the mattress up. I didn't want to imagine what's living inside the mattress, but there was surely something inside. I thank god that there will be no need for the casts to sleep on the bed. But, I'm not sure about sitting on it. Anyway, that shouldn't be my problem... god bless whoever needs to get near it.
Another thing about this place is the villagers (all Indians). They will just gather around the house and as if this is 'the' event of the year for them. They are like scavengers, if anyone smells something, it will be one spreading to another and end up the whole village knows and they will come and 'pat'! Honestly, I'm really afraid that no one is able to control them while on set. I can visualise a pasar by then...
It was hell tiring and when I drove home I wanted to sleep so much. The place is so far so good, there isn't much rubbish already and the spaces we need for shooting are cleared. Now, all we need is to move in props and decorate the place... that means I still need to visit this freaky place many many many many times... Hope I don't get any virus or germs infection...
I was thinking if I were to stay in this place, I rather rebuild everything...
Welcome dear casts and crews, this is our main shooting location...
p.s.: you wouldn't wanna get any cuts in this kind of place...

Fall Out Boys
A friend of mine is kind enough to give me Fall Out Boy's album...original de hor...
The more I listen to, the more I'm in love with their songs. I highly recommend their album if you like pop rock songs. They have 14 songs (rare huh..) and I can say that 10 out of 14 are nice songs...
I'm falling out for the boys...thanks to the 1 who gave me their album ;)

The Creativity that lies within...
Mass Comm people are so creative that they tend to invent words beyond words...
Tiff- my boss very kedelut one!
definition of kedelut: kedekut + lut= kedelut
Steph- Lynn is a potential actoress!
definition of actoress: actor + actress= actoress
They just made up such meaningful and useful words..creative huh...
Stay tuned to laibobo.blogspot.com for more creative words as our creative directors need inspiration to make up more words...

The Call Time
Me :"Eh this morning Tiff and Eunice late for shooting ah?"
Yang:"Ya, they woke up so late..their colleague waited for a long time!"
Lynn:"No lah, their colleague came earlier without informing them..that's why they didn't wake up..But her colleague went off after that and they needed to take taxi there.."
Yang:"Huh? I thought they were late...their call time should be 6am but I saw them still preparing at 6.30am."
Lynn:"No lah!Their colleague came early..." insisted Lynn.
Me:"Hmm..I even thought that both of them decided to ffk the shooting cause Eunice went down, can't get the taxi and came up and decided to sleep back. P1artly also because Tiff dunno where the location is. So they decided to ffk the shooting..."
I couldn't differentiate what's real and what's not but for sure when I woke up, they weren't on their beds, they went out already. So my version is definitely off cause I think I continued their story in my dream but definitely they went to the shooting place by taxi...So who's version is the correct one?
Answer toward all this is:"It's amazing that none of our alarms woke us up. We made our colleague waited for us for 40 mins! She even have to rang on our door bell and called us. Thank goodness she wasn't pissed off with us, but we ended up taking taxi." explained by Tiff.
Amazing huh, wonder how we get so many versions despite staying under 1 roof? That's Mass Comm people, where all creativity comes by...
p.s.: I like your version Lynn ;) I wonder whether u're also like me, mistaken the dream as the real story...kakaka

Fabregas – My future belongs at Arsenal FC
Cesc Fabregas has re-affirmed his desire to stay at Arsenal.
The newly-installed captained was linked with a transfer to Milan this morning after he was quoted as saying if he ever moved to Italy he would join the Rossoneri.
However, speaking to Arsenal.com on Thursday afternoon, the 21-year-old once again talked of his happiness and fulfilment at Emirates Stadium.
“It is true that I said I admire Milan for their rich history and the way they play football but that is as far as the story goes,” said Fabregas.
“I am honoured to be wearing the captain’s armband for Arsenal and I am 100 per cent committed to this Club. My future is here.”
Awww..it's so touched that my idol said something like this..isn't it touching people? Awww...don't cry..*sob sob*
Anyway, one of my producers just added me in yahoo messenger which means she might somehow get the connection to my facebook or other stuff and might somehow know my blog and therefore i decided to blog carefully... Dear angels and rare spesies, if u know u're 1 of them, do visit the secret place for more p&c posts. Will update more about my stress at work as soon as i'm free...might not blog often from now on so dear fans, please do not miss my blog ;) but do keep visiting, still need support from everyone!!!

Home Sweet Home
The 5 of us are fated together...But besides wasting most of the time busy having laughter and crapping. We still have our own life:
Feel free to guess who's who...
1st one- Laptop opens= eyes open/ laptop closes= eyes close, a superwoman who only sleeps 4 hrs per day and survive with coffee
2nd one- Either laying or standing, never sitting, take turns with me talking 'fei hua'
3rd one- Can't live without her massaging machine and always with her really ugly 'yoga' posture
4th one- suddenly bahak loudly, always smiling to her laptop (chatting with someone lah)
5th one- the most normal one
Anyway, I'm enjoying my stay with this bunch of monkeys.. I couldn't believe that I was really down since morning today can transform back to the normal loud and crappy self once I'm back home. I shall call it 'home sweet home' :) Thank u roomies!!

Chow Poh Yen
I was having karaoke session with my roomies. One playing the guitar, the other one shouting out loud along with me and the other one...rather wear headphone (Yang only listens to Nasyid by the way. She recently just edited 'Marilah Berhajat' which is amazingly a catchy song. The song will seriously stuck in your mind when you listen to it. Wish to get its full lyric, damn it! Anyway I needed something like this to destress myself..) Been depressed all day long and even Yen can sensed it. Surprisingly, she misses my cold jokes...
After that she jia jia kam-ching with me and asked me to send her to the lrt station. I did send her there, after all she did a good job in becoming my car's alarm. Every time she sits in my car whenever there's a reverse, she will automatically turn her head back and check if there's any cars. If there is, she will really alert you to the max, shouting: "car!car!car!". And after that she will complain about my car alarm this and that, and she even said that my car's alarm's a fake one. I replied, "so you are the real one lah..." Ya, she IS influenced by me cause she hangs out with me every day. She said she'll never get influenced by me and she will just speak rationally... but she's beginning to tell cold jokes and I wonder why...
By the way, I finally figure out what her real name is, it's CHOW POH YEN!

My Neighbour
My brother, my sister and I were home alone that night. We were busy chatting with one another when suddenly there was someone calling outside. My brother went out to have a look and he told me it was an old skinny lady looking for me. I had a quick glance and found out that she was the weird lady I met yesterday. I quickly asked my borther to ignore her.
After some time, we heard that there was banging and knocking outside. The lady was forcing her way in through a smaller gate. Quickly, I asked my brother to block her from getting in and report the police while my sister and I quickly hide inside a room. But little did I know that this will separate me from my siblings. I was left alone inside the room. My siblings were in the room next to me. The lady made her way in. She began her teaching. She even slit into my door gap to give her teaching notes. I wanted to tell my siblings so much not to look at the notes nor listen to her.
My brother did not report to police as he has no idea how to and I stupidly left my phone outside. It was a long teaching about maths or something like that as I did not want to pay attention. During that time I think of all posibilities to get ourselves safe, I wanted to shout out to my siblings so much not to listen and get tricked by her but if I were to do that, I was afraid that she might get angry and the situation will get worse. There was one saying, 'hit grass scare snake', anyway I was too panicked to decide on anything. And as expected, my siblings got out of the room and apparently were talking quite closely to her. Everything was too late when all three of them persuaded me to get out of the room. I had little choice but to open the door......
Can't wait for the ending?
So sorry to tell that there wasn't any ending as I was awaken by my alarm clock...
so blame the alarm!But I thank the alarm!
It was really that aunty I met yesterday who made me tired the whole day. Seriously tired... The aunty I dream about was the aunty staying next to my Damansara house. People said that she's weird and lonely. Even my housemates who were caught by her to help her fix her laptop, got a lil freak out as she was really friendly, really skinny, quite rich as in she stays in quite a big and nice house but she's really really lonely and her background to us is a mystery...
I am not afraid of her, just happened to dream about her and it was a scary and tiring one. Therefore, I swear I will not go to her house or see her ever again!!!

I am not afraid of her, just happened to dream about her and it was a scary and tiring one. Therefore, I swear I will not go to her house or see her ever again!!!

Independent Films
I believe everyone's currently into Twilight the movie, I'm one of them too >< and I have been searching for more details about Twilight and got to know that Twilight is actually an independent movie by Summit Entertainment.
Let me briefly explain what independent films are, or some called it indie films...
They are films produced outside Hollywood studio system and most of them are from foreign countries. They are much more smaller in budget, their equipments are simpler ones and this goes to their editing softwares too...
Whereas for Summit Entertainment, it is orignally from America and it was founded in 1996. However, it only became fully independent in 2006 under the direction of former executive of Paramount Pictures- Rob Friedman.
A few films that were produced by them surprised me. This including Memento (2000); Step Up (2006) and it's amazing to see that the budget is only $12 million and its gross revenue hit up to $114,191,952 wow!unexpected...; P2 and Nim's Island.
Here you go! Just a lil information for every movie lovers :)
For more information, you can visit http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Summit_Entertainment
Fabregas- The Chosen One
The moment Tony Adams became captain for Arsenal, he was only 21 years of age. Since then, he remained as 'the' captain for Arsenal for 14 years and making new histories for Arsenal, having won 3 titles during his captaincy.
And now... it's my young idol's turn. Cesc Fabregas' debut captaincy was against Dynamo Kiev last Tuesday and he earned positive appraisals from Wenger. He will remain as Arsenal's skipper for tomorrow's giant clash against Chelsea. Can he prove to everyone one more time that he might be young but he is able to sustain the weight that has put on his shoulders? Can he, like Adams, rescue Arsenal and make history?
Arsenal vs Chelsea, tomorrow 12 midnight, let us Arsenal hope for the best!

Black Out
Today there was a blackout in one of the office's floors, and it was only this particular floor. Someone found out the reason and it was the basement's switches that caused the blackout.
After that, there was big red cross on some of the basement's switches. I didn't bother much and continue busy searching for extras' clothing in the wardrobe in the basement. After few hours of searching, I went out to find that the whole basement was empty and dark. Come to think of it, I'm quite brave huh... Anyway, I went to the switch hoping to on some lights. I avoided the ones with the cross and tried the others. Oh, finally got light! And I happily went to search for my things. After a few seconds, I heard someone shouting, 'Aiya!'
I was so slow to react to the loud sound, only after a few minutes did I realize that did upstairs just blackout? And yes, it was because of me and all the editors needed to stop their work. I quickly off the lights and pretended nothing happened...

Dirtiest Job
What I did today?
I slept in the car for almost half of the journey while both my colleagues were busy searching for location, cannot tahan at all! My eyelids just shut by itself, how sad...for your information, we were in the car for 4 hours!!
I only started exercising at 3.30pm after all my sleepings (which explains why my tummy is popping out), and the exercise is actually doing charity work. And the charity work is actually to clean up a big pile of rubbish that was left in an abandoned shophouse. And the shophouse is in Ijork (no idea where? Go google! Ok, it's near Genting, it's damn far!), it's an Indian village with palm estate surrounding it and this particular location is the main location for the independent film.
This place is seriously run down- no electricity, no water, toilet's broken, not much sunlight, no food around... all left was a big pile of rubbish and broken furnitures. That was why I needed to search for portable toilets, generator, catering, cleaning services' contacts just for this place. Honestly, you wouldn't want to clean up the place. It used to be a grocery shop where they sell all varities of stuff as seen in the pile of rubbish. There's canned food which were still well sealed, newspapers (dunno how many years ago), shoes, papers, wood, stationeries, and even baby milk powder, also untouched... You will be curious in what had happened to this place man! Anyway all these things are still in the process of rotting. There were worms, ants, cockroaches and even dried rat, and it's very very flatten!!! And for a split second, I thought under all this pile of rubbish there might be a dead body!!! As the place has an awful smell...
The worst thing was we only could use plastic bags to cover up our hands as we didn't have gloves... Anyway we collected a total of 25 big bags of rubbish, too bad I didn't take any pictures, if not you'll get to see the combination of blue and black rubbish bags, it's surprisingly quite nice... Oh ya, add on another rubbish, I put all my clothes into a separate plastic bag and I'm gonna categorize it as 'toxic'. I felt that I've brought back the whole world's bacteria... And even after 2 hours' of cleaning, we only manage to clear up 3 quarters of the rubbish and I have to go back and clean some more!!!
The question for today is, if you are a producer would you choose this place? But honestly, the place striked me when I first saw it. It really gives me the feel, it's exactly what the script visualizes. But come to think of it, you need to spend more money for transportation, for food, for generator, portable toilet, the security cause it's not a familiar territory etc etc...
Btw, this was my 1st time using a spade, for the sake of not using hand to do the dirtiest job on earth!!!

BO + Red= BORED
I'm being ffk-ed by so many talents today until I got nothing to do but to wait only..
I've blogged, I've rearranged my music file, I've checked my mail, I've finish reading the script, I've finish playing a game and I've even finish cutting both my finger and toe nails...and I'm still waiting...
I went out to see what's Yen's doing. Guess what, she was in bored.com. I never knew there's such website for boring people..LOL
10 more mins for the damn talent and I'm off to bank!

Getting Away from Home...
I am currently trying my best to save up my money. Staying outside is not easy I finally realize. Earning money is even tougher. I have to afford the rental myself, as I promised my parents that all they need to do is to cover up my petrol and living expenses which is only RM400 a month. My petrol is RM60 a week, that makes it RM240 a month and I left with only RM160 for food and other expenses. Imagine I spend RM120 for food, it will be only RM6 per day and I will be left with only RM40 for other expenses. Do bare in mind that I am not sure when I will get my pay, and also the pay might be only RM200, it's a sad thing. It's not easy at all living outside and not relying on your parents too much. I began to understand how most of my friends felt.
But I recently raised a question to my friend, saying that they are willing to spend a lot on food and other stuff like watching movies whenever they like etc. Because what I thought was you need to save up especially when you're living outside all by yourself and so far away from your family. She said when you're away from home for such a long period, you will not know what to eat, you will be tired of cooking everyday, it's either maggie mee or other few things only. I began to realize, probably it's time for me to fit into their shoes, it's time for me to know how's life away from home. While for the movie watching part and buying things you like regardless of the price ocassionally, I probably still need more time to understand but she told me that I will never understand...
However, I agree with her...
I will never understand, cause I'm not considered far away from home. I still can go back whenever I like as it's only half an hour away from my house, provided no jam la...And even though I'm far away from home, it will only be 2 months. Whereas the rest were already staying away from home for years...
Will I be like them some day? Giving up in saving money? Cause like what Ley Lynn said, at the end of the day, you will still end up having not enough money?

I became a Muslim
I became a Muslim
Nah, just for an hour...
I was asked to secure a location for the independent movie and it was a mosque.
I was adviced to bring a scarf along in case the people there want me to cover up.
Thank god I did bring one, I was told that I wore quite 'pendek' (for your information, I was wearing long sleeve and pants) and I was forced to wear a 'Jubah' and scarf (as 'tudung', both Malay wearings). I looked like a Muslim and people there couldn't tell that whether I am or I am not. I also think that I looked like a penguin with big 'jubah' and I didn't know how to wear a 'tudung' so it was kind of messy...
I had to wear 'panjang' and cover up every single part except for my face. But once I stepped out of the mosque, immediately I saw 3 tourists wearing mini skirts...
Anyway, good experience though, at least I get to know that no shaking hands or any contacts are allowed between any male and any female in their religion. Especially when it is a government place. Well, that was my first ever stepping into a mosque...

The Casting days...
I called up one of the talents, making sure that she is coming today, and a guy answered my call:
"Halo, halo!"
"Hi, is this XXX?"
"Halo, halo, tak dengar la!"
I spoke louder, "Boleh saya..."
He interrupted me with "Apa? Huh? Kuat sikit!"
I spoke even louder, starting to feel annoyed, "Boleh saya cakap dengan..."
He interrupted again!
"Tak boleh dengar la, apa? Halo!"
And suddenly a Malay lady's voice came in.
"Hello."
I got confused fpr a split second then only realized that the guy's voice was actually her caller ring tone...
I think there is lots of idiots outside who did exactly the same thing as me.
Today, I heard 2 great voices. Both 40 and above, amazing... My supervisor asked me to look for more older people, she said the people I auditioned were not old enough! I just don't feel like finding Ah Peks...oh well, life goes on...
"Halo, halo!"
"Hi, is this XXX?"
"Halo, halo, tak dengar la!"
I spoke louder, "Boleh saya..."

Life in Red...
Don't ask me why I posted so many blogs in a day's time..cause I'm addicted to blogging..anyway I found out that none of it mentioned bout my current working life..so here it goes:
I'm currently having internship in Red Communications, my supervisor is an executive producer, so far I have not seen her work but I'm really eager to know...she took me in the first place is to get involve in an independent movie entitled "Karaoke". And the director was quite well known- Chris Chung.
I was really looking forward to work with them, the moment I confirmed working with them, I wanted to start work immediately. I was so looking forward. Probably becasue the company is really new and beautiful. I like the interior design and the color.
The first week was qutie a disappointing one. I mourned for not having things to do and waited every day for the moment to come by, the moment I will get on board into the same boat as my supervisor and team. I was really eager to learn and experience what it is like being invovled in a production as my supervisor promised me that I will be involved from the pre-production which is the planning part til post production (other interns followed out for shooting already). And my timing was really just right. I thought I had better opportunity to learn things here rather than in MYC (my previous internship co), cause apparently my timing was not right during that time. Most of the projects were already handed by the interns who went in earlier.
Anyway, I made a few small mistakes during the first week. I was so disappointed with myself that I can't even handle small stuff, no wonder my supervisor didn't give me much things to do. All I did was to (btw, her name is Mona Lisa, LOL, nah, it's without the Lisa) photocopy documents, read the script, did some transcript (which they called it editing, sounded so nice), did some research and callings etc. Of course, I had fun in assisting the casting part, but it wasn't my supervisor's project. I helped out in the casting because she didn't have anything for me to do. How sad...
I went scouting location in the first day with Mona and I grabbed my opportunity to ask whatever I can. I get to know a bit more about her and she told me to be prepared for she had scared away a few previous interns. She didn't know why but all she knew was they were either lazy or they put themselves as high as director's position. But that didn't convince me. Later that day, 2 more of my colleagues told me it will be really challenging having to work under Mona. Ask me if I was afraid. My answer was not quite, but I found it rather challenging and interesting. I will want to work even harder.
Honestly, anything regarding work will come first. I can push away everything just for work. Someone called me up for a shooting on Sunday and I promised straight away. However it was cancelled and my supervisor told me to enjoy my weekends while I still can...
She was right. My waiting and hardwork finally paid off. I am officially on board. She had me involved in a meeting for this project and I had my first shooting last Tuesday. I kind of replaced Mona in the shooting though it was really a small and casual shooting. At least, I get to prepare props and the production box which I found out that other interns do not have the chance to prepare it. It seemed easy, but trust me, searching for props, and the entire wardrobe for talents' clothes wasn't easy at all, it's tiring!!
Despite all the bad comments, I found out that Mona was quite nice, having her to be quite caring for me. She iron the talents' clothes herself while she forced me to have my breakfast (reached office 7am that day...) and she wished me good luck! Chuak sai ah! haha... She even gave me RM100 to buy stuff for the shooting and I only spend around RM20.
The shooting went well (please refer to the post "My Very First"). Special thanks to the NGs. And I'll have my second shooting next Monday, this time again I am preparing the props and production box. I also get to secure the location. There was one even bigger task for me which is casting extras. Casting was never easy especially when you will need to deal with so many different people. And the sad thing is I only get to choose ah-peks and aunties who are 30 and above. If I'm looking for younger ones, they will need to have the 'kampung' look. Which is quite sad la, it was torturing that I don't get to pick the good looking ones...And out of 10 aunties, only 1 pick up their phone. Memang aunties, better off without phones...so hard to contact them!
Last but not least, I get to design the crew tags!! Special thanks to Yang for teaching me a bit of Photoshop (cause I gave back to the lecturer half of what I learned XD). I always wanted to practice back how to use Photoshop but nothing motivated for me to do so until that day... Finally, I'm quite familiar with it now. Even Yang also not as expert as me liao.. LOL!! And Mona like my design, well, at least she didn't complain or ask me to change anything. Will upload it once it's finalized.
Probably I am the 'backup system' for this project, as in I'll need to be ready to prepare anything for the 'war' anytime. Probably that was why she let Yang to do the editing for the shoot I went. I was at first quite depressed and upset with the decision. Cause I was so free last week and she told me there was nothing much for me to do, but she gave other intern who is not under her to do editing.
Don't worry Yang, I begin to enjoy my working life now. It's getting busier and busier and I even need to work on a Saturday till 6pm! And so far, Mona really treated me quite nice. I think the most caring among all the supervisors? She waited for me that day to finish work (I finished at 10 something, and she waited). It is also very kind of her to make sure I'm doing the right thing and I really want to thank her for trusting me. I might be her best ever intern?? (I'm thinking way too far...)
I'm content with what I am doing in Red now. I prefer this way as I can try many different things rather than just doing transcript or in charge of just one thing. I believe I can learn more things during the actual shooting. So wish me luck! I'll pray hard that the entire shooting will turn out to be great and I will not do any mistakes. I might fall in love with this industry. Or should I say I'm afraid I'll fall in love with Red? I'm a Mar Comm student and I'm supposed to be in love with events!! NOOOOOO!!!!!
btw, I met a friend of mine, Effa in the office and too bad, I didn't have the chance to even say hi to her. And apparently, Mr Patrick (my former lecturer) was quite famous in Red Comm. He used to work there I guess. And my boss' son is studying in UCSI, no wonder Red loves UCSI so much. They hired 3 of us at the same time...
to all other interns, hope u're enjoying ur work so far :)
argh!! My dad just informed me that I missed out a wedding buffet! Damn!!!

The shooting went well (please refer to the post "My Very First"). Special thanks to the NGs. And I'll have my second shooting next Monday, this time again I am preparing the props and production box. I also get to secure the location. There was one even bigger task for me which is casting extras. Casting was never easy especially when you will need to deal with so many different people. And the sad thing is I only get to choose ah-peks and aunties who are 30 and above. If I'm looking for younger ones, they will need to have the 'kampung' look. Which is quite sad la, it was torturing that I don't get to pick the good looking ones...And out of 10 aunties, only 1 pick up their phone. Memang aunties, better off without phones...so hard to contact them!
Last but not least, I get to design the crew tags!! Special thanks to Yang for teaching me a bit of Photoshop (cause I gave back to the lecturer half of what I learned XD). I always wanted to practice back how to use Photoshop but nothing motivated for me to do so until that day... Finally, I'm quite familiar with it now. Even Yang also not as expert as me liao.. LOL!! And Mona like my design, well, at least she didn't complain or ask me to change anything. Will upload it once it's finalized.
Probably I am the 'backup system' for this project, as in I'll need to be ready to prepare anything for the 'war' anytime. Probably that was why she let Yang to do the editing for the shoot I went. I was at first quite depressed and upset with the decision. Cause I was so free last week and she told me there was nothing much for me to do, but she gave other intern who is not under her to do editing.
Don't worry Yang, I begin to enjoy my working life now. It's getting busier and busier and I even need to work on a Saturday till 6pm! And so far, Mona really treated me quite nice. I think the most caring among all the supervisors? She waited for me that day to finish work (I finished at 10 something, and she waited). It is also very kind of her to make sure I'm doing the right thing and I really want to thank her for trusting me. I might be her best ever intern?? (I'm thinking way too far...)
I'm content with what I am doing in Red now. I prefer this way as I can try many different things rather than just doing transcript or in charge of just one thing. I believe I can learn more things during the actual shooting. So wish me luck! I'll pray hard that the entire shooting will turn out to be great and I will not do any mistakes. I might fall in love with this industry. Or should I say I'm afraid I'll fall in love with Red? I'm a Mar Comm student and I'm supposed to be in love with events!! NOOOOOO!!!!!
btw, I met a friend of mine, Effa in the office and too bad, I didn't have the chance to even say hi to her. And apparently, Mr Patrick (my former lecturer) was quite famous in Red Comm. He used to work there I guess. And my boss' son is studying in UCSI, no wonder Red loves UCSI so much. They hired 3 of us at the same time...
to all other interns, hope u're enjoying ur work so far :)
argh!! My dad just informed me that I missed out a wedding buffet! Damn!!!

My Cute Roommate
Last week, she smashed a cockraoch and it died flat on the floor..in the middle of the night...and she didn't clear it..
That night, after scaring my roommates, a moth finally landed beside the cockraoch, finally found its loved one dying so horribly in the room...It laid beside the cockroach until next morning...how could u be so cruel, murderer?!
Yesterday we saw someone who look so alike with Victor Wong (pin guan), seriously damn alike, the glasses, the hairstyle, the face...except for his height..he couldn't be that short...
Anyway, I just simply tested her, telling and pointing to her that Victor Wong is here. She got so freaking panicked and fell half way to the ground, as if she was fainting. Then she asked, "Oh my god, it's him! What am I supposed to do???"
Seriously, if you saw someone famous, will you ask "what am I supposed to do??" in the first place? Anyway, she was really confused at that moment whether to run over to him and get his signature...
Dear Eunice Au,
The cockroach is still there exactly at the same posture and position, can you please bury it so that it can rest in peace?? And also that might not be Victor Wong, seriously...but I like all your excitements and you're damn damn damn funny which I might sue you for giving me a stomach ache!
from,
ur dearest producer cum roomie
and I swear I will not give u angry faces anymore XD
Eunice's fav words:
What? (act blur)
What the heck!
so cham la like that...
NOOOOO!!!!
Imagine Eunice's voice...

Dodgeball Competition
UCSIDD made it through till quarters only
but...
I see the potential in them and I see the club is growing
I promise that I will do better for the club as I think I kind of screw my own club up
Anyway, the players put a distinct display and they fought till the end and that was what I hoped for the most..
I'm proud of you guys, there wasn't any disappointment for me, everyone tried their best and there shouldn't be any regrets!
We'll come back again SOOOOON!!!
And next time, we will also set up our own dodgettes, worst, I become the dodgettes and the laughing stock. hey, RM5k man! Who doesn't want? Anyone joining me??haha...
UCSIDD simply just rox! And thank you for everyone's support, appreciate it!!
p.s.: apology for all the shoutings, quite crazy and mad yesterday haha..apologize to wai tat too for giving so much trouble..we gave the opponent a real bad impression cause we shouted and argued too much and the commentator had to keep reminding that this is a friendly game, we're here to have fun..

People who came to audition before...
While I was scanning through the existing profiles to search for extras, I accidently found out that there were quite a few surprises:
1. Pietro from Hitz FM
2. Mas from Akademi Fantasia 1
3. Belinda Chee from 8tv
4. Elina Isa, my previous football teammate (apparently she is not willing to sacrifice her futsal training every weekends 2-4pm)
and there were a few more quite well known people
probably you might not know them, but there is this person, I believe most SSLAA students will know...she is...
NUR HAZLINA
back then she was still a student aged 22. She looked exactly the same as now, just that her age is different by now, and I know how old she is..LOL
I called her up...and she got the shock of her life that I get to see her profile, anyway I called her in for casting, cause she said she can sing but up till now she hasn't confirmed yet...she can sing!
Looking forward to see her and I begin to enjoy auditioning people..hahaha
though I had to stay back yesterday night in Damansara for today's work and was left home alone (can't believe I was kind of home alone for the 1st time yesterday, good experience). And though I was left office alone this morning and noon (quite scary), I still kind of like my current job to judge people :)
Anyone interested to be judged by me??I would loved to...
shooting on Monday!!!yay!!

The kid who acted like Ju-On
I've never seen such violent kid before.
He's a Eurasian, his parents are local stars (forgotten what their names are..)- one of them is mixed and one of them is Malay.
He's only 1 and half years old but doesn't look like one,
he has really big eyes, really fair skin or should i call it white,
he has really long curly blonde hair just like ang-moh (that scares me when i first know it's a he and not she, cause I've never seen kids with such long pretty hair before, it's even longer than all my girl friends..apparently his parents want him to look like a rock star, quite sweating..)
Anyway, he's really cute at first sight, but when i started to play with him, his true colors slowly came out. He growled, he made low voices, he hit, he whacked, he threw things which were in his hands (even a lovely teddy bear..heart breaks... )
Eventually i get bruised up by a 1-and-half-years-old kid, can i introduce him to my baby cousin? So that Kaden can be a lil more manly and he could be a bit more gentle?? He loves watching horror films and that says it all. Even the last thing to do after saying goodbye to the teddy bear, is to throw it to the ground then he only walks away satisfyingly...
phew!thank goodness his mom brought him to office just for the interview...next time if u have seen any Ju-On wannabe, that probably could be him!

Judging People for the 1st time...
I'm still at office working...
waiting for the last three talents to finish their casting...
i wonder how long i can last just for audition though it can be fun judging ppl and i wish to criticize some of them haha...
anyway new experience and it's quite cool but only for short term cause i'll get annoyed by ppl who turn up late or cancel the casting last minute which will screw my plan...
and i hated calling so many people and sometimes was forced to speak in Malay which i seriously suck at!
when can i go home???

Mr. B
Mr B called me up today saying:" did you buy apples?"
Me:"Oh ya the rotten ones? Just throw them away..."
"Forgotten to eat huh..."
"No I thought I didn't bring it here"
"Next time if you cannot eat so much then don't buy so much. You'll forget if there's too much food. Also, the fridge is actually quite small so don't buy too many stuff..."
bla bla bla what the crap...
I'm bloody starving now just to wait for your 'lovely' girlfriend to finish baking her cake!No wonder i only can occupy so little of your fridge cause you prefer baking ingredients...
And dear Mr B, don't forget that WE tolerated damn a lot with you so please do not mess with US i mean me ><
Just for your information, if you've no clue what i'm talking about at all, I'm actually referring to the rental payment which smart Mr.B modifies it every second and his damn great and wonderful rules which are so understanding and kind of him.
1. No dogs or cats are allowed in the house- he owns both and another housemate owns one
2. No smoking is allowed in the house- his friends ALWAYS do and i'm not sure about him
And dear Mr B, you left us with an empty room just with a ceiling fan and you charge us freaking RM700 a month but you said you'll help us to do this and that..Am i blind or what cause I don't see any changes since day 1...
The Mr B i'm talking about is apparently my Damansara house owner...great!!!

Cathay Pacific
Help!!!
I hate Cathay Pacific to the max!!
I've been searching for cheap air fares from Japan to Malaysia round trip for dunno how many days and Cathay seems to be the cheapest and the air ticket is only a total of around RM2,500 inclusive of taxes..yay!
but...
today i checked again it has changed to RM6,000 in just half an hour's time!!I wonder how...
I compared both details, they are both the same including the flight numbers and everything..I tried calling to the agency and no bloody human being picked my phone up..the website also kept me waited for hours and i can say it's one of the slowest website i've ever encountered other than my previous stupid blog..
Anyway..
i figure out that maybe if i change my region to Malaysia than the rates will be different. And yes, it's back to RM2,500 and i tried proving myself correct and clicked on Hong Kong as my region, however, the rate is back to the cheap one. WHAT HAPPEN??????????what region i was at that the rate was so expensive??or was that something else?
No one's gonna pick up the damn phone means i've to figure out myself before i drive my supervisor crazy...anyone willing to solve this for me??
hate cathay!!!!!!!making me stress man!!

Arsenal vs Manu
This game worth all my shouting, it was one of the exciting games dedicated to all football lovers. But at the end of the day, one great game cannot make a season. Arsenal shall continue to rock on till the end of the season. Next stop, Aston Villa~
We rock!!
M.O.M: Samir Nasri
Japanese result
HAPPY HAPPY!!
にほんごのふくしゅはまでおわりましたでも、にほんごのしけんはAげれどです。
どもありがとせんせ！！
らいねんBEGINNER 2 ははじめましょ～
p.s.: twice a week for Japanese lesson is damn tiring..shall not be so crazy again...

My very First...
Yesterday...
Was my first time holding an umbrella for almost the whole day (regardless rain or shine and I DON'T use an umbrella when there's sun),
Was my first time speaking Malay for almost the whole day,
Was my first time getting so soaked for almost the whole day,
Was my first time standing for such long hours...
Basically that was my first time following the crews out for shooting
It seems bad but I really had fun though it was quite tiring (I heard people said this was the most relaxing shooting ever...so imagine the real big ones...)
Need to thank my supervisor for giving me this opportunity..
honestly, even a small shooting like this can get a lot of exposure and I WANT MORE!!!!!!
Okla no time to blog, so have to grab every second to post this,
I freaking attempted bloody many times to post this and finally...
Connection sucks like hell or was it computers were all against me?
Anyway...
SHOOTING ROX!!

My new idol
I just joined a fan club yesterday night with my sis and I'm so gonna be her hard core fan!!!Honestly...I see a star in her and hopefully one day she will become one :)
Leon Chong
I can't believe there's someone out there actually say he's cute, he's handsome...
cause most of them disagree and I understand...
but honestly, he's the cutest dog I've seen in my life...
The battle begins...
The battle begins tonight...
Anyone betting??
Pray hard for Arsenal who is struggling with injuries...
2 strike duo are out, the one who often bursts through with pace is doubtful and even the defenders are shaky...
No matter what, may the best team win!
