I have A LOT to write about. I went to a movie production launching on Thursday and if you’ve seen my facebook then you’ve seen some of the pics I took. But right now I”m just gonna quickly blog first because I have to finish my report, hoping that I can print it in the office today so I don’t have to waste money, lol.

Oh shoot, I also need to remember to pay for my domain. Sucks paying monthly. I’m still looking at other web hosting sites, to see if I should move host or not but I don’t know.. justhost.com is the top in the list, but could I trust them? Normal and premium plan are just the same…so kinda suspicious if they have sort of scam or hidden ToS that would require you to squint your eyes to read it all. Maybe I should just stick to dreamhost. I don’t know, probably I’ll test out justhost.com one day, while still keeping dreamhost and see which is better…justhost.com is still cheaper if I pay monthly…like 8 bucks instead of 11 bucks at dreamhost. Hmmm.

Oh..! Btw.

My boss has a new secretary since Thursday, I’m not the only girl in the office anymore! …wait is that a good thing? Hopefully she won’t steal my spotlight :( Oh well, so far she’s been nice to me, and I have someone to talk to now :D Too bad she didn’t join us when I was at the early stage, I was so alone before I got along with the guys at Hez Comm. Strangely enough, I don’t really get along with the girls except for Linda and Yaya who are gone now :\

We also created some fake scandal issue at the office… why is it starting to get really fun in the office now? When I’m about to finish my internship? I used to say “THANK GOD ONLY 3 MONTHS”.. but now I”m saying “GAH WHY NOT 6 MONTHS!”… cuz I’m the only intern there who’s interning for only 3 months instead of 6.

Plum trees! :)

I”m supposed to be working on my report tonight and presentation slides and card design, but nope. I”m procrastinating, apart from talking with H about….stuff. Speaking of H, he banked in RM100 into my account on Monday :) Aww. Well he told me that he’s currently very broke, so he could finally understand my financial problem I’ve been having… and suddenly he said his dad gave him RM200 and he decided to split half with me… that really touched me. Even though he was so broke and desperate with money, he gave me half. So hard to find someone like that nowadays.

Anyways. On Monday I decided to buy “Ayam Penyet”, or flatten chicken in English. It’s a famous dish in Indonesia. EVERYONE at work has been boasting about how delicious ayam penyet is since it’s near to the office. So I decided to try it. I’m also a bubble tea/pearl tea lover so I decided to get one, refusing to taste it until I get home and drink it while eating ayam penyet. Unfortunately, I dropped it, and my mango bubble drink is all over the road. I was so upset I was gonna cry. However ayam penyet was REALLY GOOD. I’ll take pics next time.

So yesterday (Tuesday), I was chatting with my colleague and told her about my drink incident and she said nearby office, there’s actually a bubble tea supplier and that got me drooling. But then I had to work…. and work… and work.. haha, they got a new photocopy/printing machine yesterday and everybody’s acting like it’s a machine of the future cuz now all comps can use it, and I made my laptop and Muzammil’s laptop to be able to use it too through network, so everybody has been printing nonstop. Before this, you could barely hear any printing sound a day. I think they used up hundreds and hundreds of papers within 10 minutes.

I was extremely busy trying to finish up the production booklet, but Andre aka Tomok/Tomogo keep changing and adding stuff.. so guess what? We all ended up staying up until the next day working on the booklet (me, Andre, Wak). It’s been a hella funny night too though. Oh, Mr K also brought cheesecake and then Andre decided to order Canadian Pizza… FINALLY, I get to taste Canadian Pizza..when they ordered it before, I keep getting there too late. Anyways, when Andre gave me money to pay for them, I realized they’re only 4 large pizzas, not extra large…so Andre was pissed lol. So he called them back, and was like “Aku dah lapar ni. Pizza tak cukup” translated as ‘I’m hungry, there aren’t enough pizza’. He was saying it in a very funny way and I was just sitting next to him trying to not laugh my head off.

So finally at 8 am I finished the damn map. Shitty map. Oh well. My brain has shut down too. But I joined them at the mamak restaurant to eat breakfast. Got me some bubble tea at the place Zack told me, and daaaaaaaamn it was good! Reach home at 1 pm and passed out until 9 pm lol. Shit. I was gonna go back to work at 6 pm lol.

My boss has requested me to continue working after the internship is over, until my next sem starts but I’ll be working for real, not as intern anymore. Like a real career he said. Ooo. When I was chatting with Andre, I told him I want to join them during shooting but bah, they start shooting on 21st, which is the day of my final presentation…. and they would be staying at the location for 23 days I think…ooooof. I can’t be gone that long from home. I’ll die. I’ll see how.

K, I so need to sleep now. Fuck my report lol. I’ll do it tomorrow night. So to end my blog, I’ll post some pics I took last night.

More pics in my facebook gallery.

I want bed wedges. Also my bed is getting to small for me, my laptop, my junks, my pillows and my kitties. Random thought of the day.

Dave Lehre / My Updates

So, a few posts back, I wrote about TURBO: The movie starring Dave Lehre, the guy that is my inspiration when it comes to the filmmaking and editing world and last week I checked my myspace and I was surprised to see I got a message from him :) Apparently, he somehow saw my blog and my post about his movie so he was sending me a message letting me know and saying his thanks… awwww thanks Dave! :) You rock.

I still can’t wait to see TURBO: The movie.

I’d like to post another short movie starring Dave Lehre, directed by Michael and Daniel Carberry. Now, if you’re just a watching this, you’d be like WTF? Now if you’re a film student, or like to go in depth with the technical stuff, now this is a very good short film. I just love the cinematography. The angles are good, the lighting gives the mysterious, dark mood as we listen to the character hear his own conscience and struggles with his addiction with pills. Dave did a great job portraying an addict. Makes you feel you, too, is going crazy in a very claustrophobic room.

Bah to see young filmmakers do good films really depresses me. I’m pathetic.

Other than that, work has been very interesting. I saw them testing the robot costume for the movie. It’s still very private and confidential so I can’t leak any photos lol. Hmmm what else… well for the past one week, I’ve been going home very late. Last Friday my colleague was on tv, and yesterday they were in the newspaper… which would’ve included me had I wore the damn shirt.

Last Thursday Andre suddenly requested me to do production booklet for the pre production meeting.. so I was like rushing and stuff. There was A LOT to compile and type. And funny coincidence, we saw a singer on tv who has the EXACT hair that Andre has, so we’ve been calling him “Tomok” cuz that’s the artist’s name.. but since he, too, is my Japanese language buddy, so he prefers to be called “Tomogo”, the male version of the name ‘Tomoko’.

PC Fair started on FRIDAY! I went in the morning, lol. Was rushing and all. There was an offer for HDD for REALLY cheap (Rm299!) for 1 TB but only for the first 50, and how unfortunate that before that I went to the bank to withdraw money and fucking ATM machine ate my card! So I could have gotten the HD for extra 40 bucks for RM339 (still cheaper than other booths) but I decided that I don’t like the design. It’s quite light so when my cat goes crazy, they can easily bumps into the HD and it could easily slide off the table.

So I decided to get 2 x 500GB Maxtor OneTouch 4 HD at RM199 each (still in the first 50 people promotion)…so it’s RM398, which technically almost the same price as Western Digital’s 1TB My Book Home edition at RM399. However, after reading lots of comments about HD failing after a short while, I got scared. That’s why I decided to get 2x500Gb, so in case one fails, I have the other. I’ll wait until PC Fair in August. By then, the 2TB HD would probably become cheaper (PC Fair offer was RM888! O___O) ..I want the 4TB though lol. Still over RM1500+ , geez.

PC Fair opened at 11 am, and I arrived at 11.30 am, but it was already so friggin crowded that you can barely walk, gah. The biggest promotion is P1 W1max’s new modem promotion called “Wiggy”.. huge promotion on that. It’s like every inch you turn, a wiggy promoter will bug you about their new modem. To me, even though they promise 10mb connection, if there’s a fair usage policy, with only 10GB quota, fuck no man. I’m sticking with Screamyx…shitty as it is, at least it won’t throttle my bandwidth cuz it has no quota. The speed just…suck.

But I did get to eat Yoshinoya! :D Fucking cheap promotion, RM7.90 for a bowl of beef rice, a bowl of miso soup and small chawanmushi. But what the hell, they’ve turned stingy on chawanmushi! It’s only a couple of spooful now, it’s so little, and it only has like a piece of mushroom and that’s it! No crab no fish no nothing..! Wtf.

Anyways, on Saturday…I had pre-production meeting until 1 am…wahhh T____T It’s all cool though.

Anyways, I’m like procrastinating now when I have so much to do. lol. I should get back to work. I wanna go home and backup more stuff. At least my lappy is no longer running out of diskspace, yay!

Final Presentation

Well, I”m shocked.

I received an email from college about the final presentation. Alright. Technically, my internship ends on the 19th. I thought I would be given a few days to prepare documents but guess what? My final presentation is on the fucking 21st! So I only have one day… ONE DAY to get everything prepared —- my report printed and binded, my own name card printed (wtf??? Why do they want a name card???) and also get my supervisor to write me a testimonial letter and my report …. plus my own report on my internship… gathering portfolio and burning them into CD.I have a headache now.

Oh I forgot to mention I’ll be the FIRST TO PRESENT AT 9.30AM??? So I have to be at college and hour before.. which means 8.30 am.. no time to prepare myself or to calm my nerves.

Then again I only have 2 weeks left for internship.. I”m sad and I’m happy. I’m sad because I won’t get to experience more in the industry and I have to get back to the boring life of college and assignment and shits like that.. I also won’t get to see famous celebrities! …. but I’m happy cuz then I’ll get some more free time when I can do personal stuff, and NO MORE ENDURING MASSIVE TRAFFIC JAM AT THE LDP HIGHWAY! Oh thank god.

It’s true working in the production line will definitely suck ALL of your energy out.. and I can say this (near) 3 months, I am now energy-less, and been having migraine and spinning headache since the past 3 days. Oh not to mention the stress and also the long and odd working hours. But overall, it’s been very fun and interesting.

Today Fizow Omar came to the office… he’s a model maybe..or actor? was in Hero Remaja competition.. I’m not sure…he’s so fucking hot in person. Hot body, hot face.. here’s a pic of him from his friendster with the very famous actress Erra Fazira…

God he has this built, tough body that’s just sooooooo hot…. and to have him just sitting opposite of me makes me all ‘giggly’ inside (i’m trying to use PG -rated words here).
I also saw Lydiawati, who is sitting nearby me and she’s a very famous Malaysian actress.

I have bad headache now. I’m gonna stop.

Farewell Party

Alright, I was upset on Monday but then H kept calling me trying to cheer me up so I was cheered a bit.. not for long but on Tuesday I was all cheered up.. why? Because it was PAYDAY. Woot. And also it was a farewell party for Linda and Yaya. We had KFC so you know fattening junk food always cheer me up. It was not really a party though.. we had around an hour of meeting before that, and it was EXCRUCIATING. Why? Because food arrived during the meeting, and because the meeting got dragged long, and then plus some speeches from the boss and Linda and Yaya, the smell of KFC’s chicken was too much for us.. we even suggested to eat during the meeting huhu.

Before the meeting, earlier afternoon, they had some interview and photoshoot so their story will be published in the newspaper probably next week? It was frustrating because why? I didn’t know and I didn’t ‘steal’ the Kaki Robot Club T-Shirt from the other office so I couldn’t be in the shoot lol.. if not I’d be in newspaper next week even though I know nothing on Kaki Robot Club haha. Oh well.

Anyways, some personal problems was solved yesterday so I’m quite happy, except now I have this stupid headache. Oh also, on Monday, my colleague was watching a movie on cable tv called “WILD HOGS” and I showed the trailer to H and he was laughing his arse off, so I downloaded the movie. I’ve watched half of it and so far it’s fucking HILARIOUS.

Some pics from Tuesday.

I can’t remember what we were laughing at o.O; So yeah half of them is from Hez Comm and half is from Imagika.. and this was just some people who were there, quite a few were missing. It was quite funny when Jim, the white dude spoke Australian slang as his farewell message to the girls and everybody was blank. He’s my Nihongo buddy :D We’d speak basic Japanese to each other.. And if you can see some plastics at the back, the KFC that was torturing all of us.

So then the guys were the first one to grabs the chickens. I only had 2 pieces, the 2nd one being like one of the biggest pieces, and some coleslaw.. somehow I didn’t take the mashed potato and the fries o.O; But yeah, even though I had only 2 pieces I was the very last one to finish eating.. they were all making fun of me, saying I ate like 5 pieces lol I think the guys ate like 3-5 pieces of chicken each.

hezparty02

And they were all eating in front of the tv… hehe

Alright have to eat lunch now so I’m gonna stop blogging now.
