Part Time

Time flies. Now reach the end of July. And I'm going to leave Essence *now change to Essence Burson-Marsteller*

I'm really enjoy with the work but it's too stress.

Every morning, I need to read 6 Chinese newspaper. Since I'm the only one who can read and write in Chinese, so I need to do translation everyday, and my English does improve a little bit. But, my fingers' skin is peeling now! Because of the newspaper's ink!

This month, I went to many events, such as:

Malaysia SME Congress 2013
Many businessmen and businesswomen joined the congress and guess who I met? Winnie Loo and Irene Ang! OMG! Irene Ang was one of the guest speakers and her presentation was awesome! I love her so much! She has the power that can inspire everyone and she is very funny. She has her unique way to present and entertain *not BORED* the audience.

Peel Fresh New Ambassador Launch
The launch was held at Eastin Hotel, just located beside our office. For me, it was a luxury launch. The hotel is nice and the launch is interesting. Lisa Surihani is their new ambassador. I'm sure that you all saw their advertisements in most of the newspapers. Lisa is damn pretty and nice. I shot a photo with her and she smells good. *I'm not maniac ok?* And, the food was good too. The best thing was, I could drink the fruit juice drink as much as I can! Haha.

Mari Beramal Bersama Colgate 2013 Iftar Ramadan
This is the first time I went for iftar (buka puasa) event and seriously, it's HORRIBLE!! Everyone was fighting to get food, especially DRINKS! I know they didn't drink for the whole day, but they really couldn't wait and berebut-rebut to get the drinks until the kiosk is shaking! *No offence* Najwa Latif is their ambassador for this charity event and she is a famous singer. Her voice is sweet and she is only 18 years old! She is very nice and friendly; and everyone likes her. This is one of her famous song - Sahabat. Trust me, it's nice.

I also attended PhAMA media interview and British American Tobacco QAB. One of the event, Standard Chartered KL Marathon 2013 has postponed to September due to the haze. So I missed the chance to join as I felt down last year and totally couldn't enjoy during the race day.

One of the collegues, Renuka left us and Jenny is leaving soon. But 3 new colleagues from Burson-Marsteller joined us.

Mangales asked me whether want to extend another one month since I haven't get a job. But I rejected. Because I just earn little and need to travel from Klang to Damansara everyday. Damn, it's very tired!

Oh, I have another "interesting" story. Rubbini, the new intern from SEGI Uni College has joined us since 2 weeks ago. She is from Port Klang and now she is following my car to office. She is a weird and lazy girl. I don't know how to describe. She can't focus and pay attention while we are teaching her and also doing her work. She doesn't have common sense and I really don't want to say it, but... she is STUPID! *God, please forgive me!* She is very happening everyday and keep giving us "surprise" which we don't like. She was scolded by Mangales and Eswari, associated PR director. If you want to know more, please contact me or I'll tell you the storiesss when we meet.

Anyway, Bee Wei from Top Glove called me yesterday and informed me that they received my resume. Yeepee! She asked for my height and weight. And she said :" Miss, you're obese." I was like, shocked and funny! And then she explained :" Miss, currently our company is practicing healthy lifestyle. Do you mind if our nutritionist help you to on diet?" OMG! Sure! Of course! Finally I can slim down and I have a nutritionist and it's FREE!! *if they hire me* After that, she called back again and asked me :"Miss, you look slim in the photo. Are you confirm with your weight?" I almost laughed out at that time but luckily I didn't. I think maybe is because the angle and I'm wearing blazer in the photo. LOL.

Hope that they will hire me since the office is very near to my house. The new office is just located at Setia Alam! And then, they can look at my real body. LOL. *shy*

That's all. Bye.

Job Hunting

Yup! I'm not a student anymore, it's the time to face the reality.

GO TO GET A JOB!! 

But dare to dream, don't let the reality kill it! I have sent out my resume *special thanks to LIZ* to many companies, like what I said in the last post. But still don't have company replies me. *SAD*

Few days ago, my ex-supervisor, Lyn called me and asked whether want to work as part time at Essence Communications. *the PR firm that I went for internship*
When I got her call, I was like, there's an angel came to rescue me! What a wonderful world. And then, guess what? I accepted the offer and went to office for interview.

I went to the office on Thurday (20th June 2013) and all my ex-colleagues were so happy and gave me a warm welcome! Of course, there has some faces that I never seen before I left there. Then, I met the HR Manager to talk about the salary. I won't say the salary that she offered me at here, but I'm going to say that... it's quite low, which it's out of my expectation. Since I was an intern and have experience with the job scope, I thought I can get a higher salary, maybe RM1,500? *work full time* But, I was wrong!

I was a little bit upset and try to deal with her in the phone yesterday afternoon. But still, not the amount that I want. Maybe I can talk with the finance manager on Monday. Hopefully everything can go smoothly.

Another thing that I want to say is, I sent my resume to Lewis PR Kuala Lumpur! OMG! It's a global PR firm and I sent my resume to them! I think I'm crazy! Really hope that they will call me and ask me go for interview. I'm very excited now! Please, please, please! Please get them to call me! *praying very hard*

I really hope that I can start my career with a good job, good company and of course, good salary. LOL.
Am I greedy? Absolutely NOT! Everyone is greedy because we want to have a good life!

So, wish me GOOD LUCK and pray for me!

Job Interview

Last week I sent out my resume to few companies, eg: Nuffnang, Media Prima, Melody FM etc. Finally there's someone calling me for the interview but not the company that I want.

It's SIN CHEW DAILY. The lady called me to interview for news editor on Friday (14th June 2013) 12PM at their HQ, Petaling Jaya. I was very excited and asked Jeannie to accompany me. *THANKS*

During that day, I wasn't nervous at all. Maybe is because the interview was conducted by Mandarin and this is not the job that I want. 

A man, Mr Bai interviewed me. I think he is the head for news editorial department. He photocopied my secondary school and university result. After that he asked a lot of questions and interviewed me for 1 hour. Below are some of the questions: 

- Do you understand an editor's job scope? 

- Why do you choose editor as your job? 

- Please say out the current hot news. 

- Can you accept the working hours? (2pm - 10pm++) 

- Bla bla bla...

Luckily I read newspaper and watch 新闻报报看 everyday. I still could listed out few hot topics and answered his questions with my basic knowledge (?). LOL. 

Then he asked me to take a test for 2 hours. I was like, "WHAT?! Okie, WONG LING CHING. Calm down, it's not a big deal." 

1) It asked me to write an 800-words-essay, "Why I choose to become an editor?" So I blew waterrrr.

2) There are few questions for general knowledge, eg: Najib is from which state? 

3) Fill in the idiom and correct the wrong words. 

4) Create a title for 4 news. 

5) Translate an English news to Chinese news. 

I admit. I used Google for most of the general-knowledge-questions and Google Translate for the translation. GOOGLE, you are the best teacher in the world! Love you so much! 

So, I done the test and went for lunch with Jeannie. Yes, she was waiting me for almost 3 hours at the lobby. We went to Antipodean and ordered a lot of dishes! All dishes were very delicious except one -- the WEIRD salad!! Maybe it's not the salad that suit us. 

Grilled Chicken. RM19.
The tomatoes are so juicy and sweet! 

The BIG Breakfast which strongly recommended by Jeannie.
RM 20. It's really a big portion of breakfast! 

The WEIRD salad. RM19.
It has cheese, figs, tomatoes, chicken ham, olive oil and GREEN ROCKET.
Now I know the vege called GREEN ROCKET.

The Healthy Juice. RM12.
Strawberry, banana and orange. It's so tasty! 

That's all. I want to crawl to my bed now. My legs are freaking pain as I just finished my promoter job. Tomorrow is the last day for the Sensodyne Project! Yeah! *I'm a Sensodyne promoter*

暂时的无业游民

是的。现在的我是无业游民，不再是大学生了。
读了将近15年的书，终于画下句点了。

5月中，和华乐团的大家去了邦咯岛游玩。
它，并不是我想象中的海边。
由于邦咯岛是渔村，所以海水没那么蓝，沙滩没那么干净。
有点小失望啊。
这次的旅行跟以往的有点不一样，因为其中的两人 -- 小菜和宇建拍拖了！
所以啊，气氛就有点怪咯。不过，还是玩到很疯啦！

青春的大家

喜欢这种平静

各位，有缘再相见啦！

之后的几个星期，都在做promoter啊。
钱呐！为什么你那么难赚？！

朋友们都陆续毕业了，有些也找到工作了。
我呢，才刚刚寄出履历表。
希望会有回复啦！

非正式毕业

将近两个月没写部落格了。
音乐会完后，完完全全将重心放在PR campaign上了。
期间根本没时间去和华乐团的大家、housemates吃饭。
虽然和妹妹同睡一间房，但她也很少见到我。因为我在她睡觉时回到家，也在她还没睡醒时出去。
你说夸张？但这是真的。
忙着忙着，campaign也来到了尾声。幸好我们到最后有上到报纸，要不然presentation的时候真的是会被屌到很惨！*请容许我用这粗俗的字眼，因为这很重要*
说到presentation，我在这三年的大学生涯里从来没有在晚上11.30pm present过！天呐！

毕业论文也搞定啦！很期待成绩！
幸好有位很厉害兼聪明的朋友。如果没有她，我这三年真的会很惨，才不会顺利毕业呢。
穿上full formal的时候，那感觉是爽到没话说！
到现在还是不敢相信自己应经非正式毕业了。
大选过后就要开始找工咯！

考试前和朋友去了一趟金马伦，很开心。
认识了新朋友，不错不错。

由于这个学期只是考一科而已，所以没那么压力，在4月23号就考完了。
别人还没开始考，我就考完了，太搞笑了。
4月30号，离开金宝的那天早上，和Y1S1的朋友在拍最后一次合照！
就这样，过了三年。
回想当初，大家还傻傻的呢。现在啊，长大并成熟很多咯！

由于不知道要在三个月前注册为选民，而且我的生日落在12月中，所以这次不能投票。
不过，决定和朋友去当监票员呐。
现在终于明白一点政治了，以前都懵懵懂懂的。
参加了座谈会，感受到了人民的愤怒，很期待505哦。
嘉霖做了一首关于选举的自创曲，蛮不错的！

今天就到这里吧。

关于毕业音乐会

距离《谢·辞》毕业音乐会已经过了一个星期又一天。
实在是没有时间让我回味。

回想起来，为了音乐会，我们每天都练习到很晚、很晚。
这让我想起中学时的训练营。
那整个星期，都充满着华乐。
真的好喜欢。

这次是我第一次独奏。真的非常感谢我们办了这场音乐会。
练习、纠正、找伴奏、再练习、彩排，最后表演。
整个过程都好刺激。真的是在短时间内完成的。

那天音乐会，我只记得自己是非常紧张的。
因为对自己实在是很没有信心，毕竟中阮是自己自修的。
此外，和伴奏练习的次数也不多，就更加担心了。
但是上台的那一刻，我什么都没多想，只想好好表演给到场支持的朋友和观众。

深呼吸，弹下第一个音。
慢板，完整地弹完。
开始快板，观众开始热烈反应并且给予掌声。
才开始没多久，一弦竟然断掉了。
没想到的是，自己竟然非常镇定地换琴，然后继续弹。
最后，弹下最后一个音，手自然地划出美丽的幅度，接着是观众的掌声。
朋友都上台送花，很惊讶！
到后台，朋友们都说很好。
我啊，脸上的笑容没停过，而且还留着大汗呢！

我永远都不会忘记朋友在观众喊我名字的声音；
也不会忘记我弹最后一个音的回音。
真的，很感动。

这种感觉，一次就够了。
这样才足以让自己珍惜一辈子。

又来伊莫了...

这个星期六就是音乐会了，幸好昨天解决爵士鼓的问题了。
今晚开始彩排，其实自己还没练好，因为只和伴奏练过几次而已。
英勇啊！

这个学期很压力。太多东西和问题要解决。

（一）《谢·辞》毕业音乐会
由于我们这批是最多人，有独奏能力，而且快毕业了，所以就办了这场迷你音乐会。
很开心，朋友们都来支持。
幸好自己不是筹委，忙自己的东西都不得空了。
单单和伴奏练习就出问题了。
原来大提琴没有谱，还要劳烦她去借。
有点难和鼓手沟通，但会尽量和他达成共识。

（二）PR Campaign
公关系的学生每年都会办的活动，非常地恐怖的活动。
因为要同时忙毕业论文。
我呢，当上了PR Manager，因为我有在公关公司实习，所以大概知道公关的工作范围。
其实，我一点都不想做manager，因为真的很压力。
我承认，我的抗压能力不是很好，但每次我都尝试把工作做好。
我，问心无愧。
此外，我对管理不是很擅长，所以东西都乱七八糟，而且会把全部工作扛在身上。
所以，我真的累了。
但是，现在只是开始而已。后面的路还长得很呢。

（三）毕业论文
我啊，好像没什么优点捏。
自己的语文能力不是很好，所以做论文时蛮压力的。
而且自己的脑好像不听使唤似的，根本不想读journal。
对什么事情都是懵懵懂懂、糊里糊涂。

现在抱怨也没用，因为日子还是要过，问题还是要解决。
希望我能渡过这一关。
