21st ~ officially adult

I know, this title is kinda funny to some of my friend (since they still do not agree that I grow up and could be an adult) =.=" BUT, friends, glad to announce here, I turned into 21st this year.

Thanks to those who remember my birthday~~


and also, specially thanks to those who gave me a memorable, unpredictable, special 21st birthday celebration. I love it and enjoy it very much :) Thanks you, muacksss >.<

Happy Birthday to my dear friend, Mr Pig Chow Guo Wei too, turned into 21st 2 days earlier than me... hehe :p Hope that you don't mind to celebrate together with me for 3 years.. yupe, correct, is 3 years, unbelievable~~

Dear friends, 21st birthday was so warmth to me. I will definitely remember this day forever and ever.

Okiess, it's time to make a promise to you all, or I would say it's taking all your kindly advice. Melanie grew up! I promise I will take good care of myself, always.

Let's stay happily together :D

New Comprehend

Frankly speaking,Singapore, is not an unfamiliar place to me. I went to there almost few times per year. This year, another feeling, or it's more like a new comprehend about this city.

This is a city where everyone works so hard in pursuing a better life. Somehow similar to my perception although I still do not agree with their boring way of living.

These days, I see another side of it. Quality living comes from yourself. Everyone has a rights to choose how they want to live. Go with what you will enjoy with and that's already a satisfaction of life.

Seeing the Singapore River, along with wonderful night life, is already a prove to this.

Suddenly fall in love with a fresh, new Singapore River.

Healthy Life

Exam is coming to an end. There's still one subject, Film Studies, to go...

During these 3 weeks final exam, there are a lot of things cross my mine, a lot more things to do, and loads which I wish to do too...

I suppose I have to live a healthy life (at least for this holiday) since I have been living a so called "ab-normal" life fo such a long time...

Thinking to refurnish my room, jogging every morning, read several books that I intended to read for so long, sleep more (at least 8 hours a day), plan my future, yamcha with friends, watch movies and dramas, and the most important thing is take care of myself, do not make myself to fall sick (Haha... :D my mission)

Hmm, looking forwards to my 3 weeks 'new life'

Sometimes

Sometimes, I feel that world is just too complicated...

Sometimes, I feel it's hard to get across obstacles...

Sometimes, I feel no one could understand the 'newly' world that I'm facing...

Sometimes, my friends are besides me, giving unlimited support...

Sometimes, I feel glad with the current situation that I have...

Sometimes, it's just inside feelings...

Sometimes, it's just sometimes...

Sick

The end of week 12, a week that need to rush for 3 assignments, I finally collapse...

Fall sick around 6.15am morning, which the night I didn't sleep, whole day and night working out the Communcation Law report (sux subject)

Got fever, but still need to rush to Star Tower early in the morning, to carry n with our live show setting...

I was blur, thought I couldn't do that setting anymore. But, how miracle, when I get into th studio, don't know what forces, my sick is gone... and I manage to do it efficiently...

However, after it ends, I turns back to sick again.. *poor me*

Had a tough week, but then I realize I have something, so called "inner-determination" that could holds me till the end of my work...

Wonder this is a good thing or a bad thing...

True Blessing

Still on-going with university busy life. This year, after came back from internship, I realize that almost everyone around me, change lots...

Guess including myself, I admit, I changed a lot too...

Glad to see this development in my friends. This means that everyone do grow up, during this 3 months internship.

I guess, the over flexibility in this field, make us feel that we, somehow, must appreciate few months time left at our university...

Although, I know, sometimes, I don't really keep in touch with others, especially during internship (or most probably after graduate), but what is true and real, will last....

Thanks to my dear friends that always be by my side, even though I was so busy and might ignore your kindness to me ;p

But, don't forget, I did, feel touch and remember all your kindness... So, your kindness has not wasted, I put it deep in my true heart : )

I will love to see everyone of us take a suitable road and get your own charming, colourful, bright future : ) True blessing to you and me ~ ~

我和幸福有约

有人说，有些人与生俱来就快乐，理所当然地拥有着简单的幸福；也有人告诉我，快乐是需要学习的，它很难，并存在于你的观念之中。

快乐不是必然，但不快乐就很难幸福。

坦白说，我并不知道现在的我是不是快乐的。或许，当我没有想起这问题时，我是快乐的。

最近经常灵光一现，回想起好多好多往事，有中学单纯的幸福生活，有水生火热但又充份享受的大学生涯，当然，理想与现实交错的培训生活也是我记忆里重要的一环。

不知道是不是经历了许多的缘故，感觉最近，越来越想拥有简单的幸福。

不需要每一天都很快乐，只需要做自己，对人对事可以坦然，表现最直接的想法和感觉，再勇敢地做自己想做的事，就已经足够。

或许，长大了。当现实越贴近，感觉越清醒，往往就是惘然的开始。

从最初到现在，从来都不知道什么是珍惜，错过了很多。

或许自己太主观，也或许太悲观，老是觉得可以更好。回头想想，其实那何尝不是有点累。

再回首的一刻，才发现这些酸甜苦辣都只是生活的调剂品。没有了它，又怎么会有这么多的回忆。

庆幸，走到今天，20来头，发现了快乐和幸福的重要性。

虽然已经清楚知道，人越大，离快乐越远，但我会努力追随简单的快乐，因为我，和幸福有约 : )

Trips

These days, too enjoy my holidays. Went to a few vacations. Got terribly excited >.<

In order to "jump out" from a volatile life that I had previously, I spent 1 week at Singapore.

(Left) A S'pore road view

(Right) How wonderful to enjoy a Spa treatment at this kind of Spa Center

Most of the time, I was alone, going no where but just for the sake of taking a look.

Stamford Court, my Low Angle

(Left) Central Fire Station
(Right) It's raining, I was alone walking through Capitol Building

A more memorable trip was my vacation to Kuantan and Terengganu.

An evening spent at Kuantan beach

Batik making, a kind of art inspiration

Even though this is not the first time I've been to there, but maybe is my ex-colleague's back pack epiphany, I found this trip is far more meaningful and out of my expectation.

What kind of nuts worth RM10 huh??!!

God!Why should people spend $ on snake..
Conventional music players

Apparently, I've become a travel freak :)

Industrial Training # Days 94

As the title mentioned above, 94 working days, I finally finished my internship at 8TV.

And it means my Training blog entries come to an end too......

Actually I end it at 16th april, wednesday.

Sorry, my dear friends...

I know now only post my last week's review is abit late,but after internship, I'm busy with other things too... ;p (as you know, time is gold, I don't really like to waste time)

So, if you want to know how's it after I finished my life at 8TV...I would said..

wonderful, lively but frankly speaking, it's tough and full of grievance too

Now, I would rather prefer that in 8TV content creation,

far more than in 8TV News...

It's very hard and long to tell my 2 and a half months stories as a News Production Assistant cum Broadcast Journalist...

Maybe if you are interested, I can tell you face to face, but not here....

Later, I'll share my training memories here by photos... : ) Stay tune

Industrial Training # Days 86

Tremendously COOL !!!!! Bravo Death Note !!!

That day, when I was in KL Convention Centre covering Special Report, together with a senior..

My colleague called me, asked me out for movie after we off (that night), and she said got the first screening , free ticket special from our company...

And, I agreed to go (although super tired, super super rush, and till very late too)

At last, I never regret, because it's terribly interesting...

Self-Talk

Last week, worked for 7 days...

Today, at last, got a chance to rest...

I chosed to sat down alone in a Starbucks, ordered a cup of Latte..

Starred out of the glass, intended to rest my mind...

"How's your life?" a voice from my deep heart appeared,

it stop for a short while

"I'm fine..." a small voice answered, enhance by "I'm always fine and doing good"

Understood life is never easy,nothing could be always goes on as what you wish.....

You can choose to be a Latte, soft and warm.........

But doesn't mean the world will treat you as the same...

Nothing called fair and equal in the reality..

Learn to suit into the world without losing your true self, is what you should do right now....

Industrial Training # Day 50

Finally I got some time to update my blog. Almost 2 weeks since I changed department.

I'm happy to announce to the rest of the world "I"M IN NEWS & CURRENT AFFAIRS DEPARTMENT !!!!"

so happy, but so stress... 8TV mandarin news is the currently the Malaysia's top news...

And, everyone of them are so so so professional...

Have some experience in running assignments and aoing on-air..

Really happy : D

Industrial Training # Day 29

There's only one reason why I didn't post for such a long time - I'm busy.

If you are eager to know how's my life at 8tv, I would say that it's busy, it's fun, and it's sometimes, stressful...

I did a lot of things lately.

Went for One in a Million, did tagging.

Follow Brand Management Group to Why Why Love Press Conference.

Then, went to Sunway Pyramid, did Why Why Love fans gathering.

Did a New Year Party in 8tv.

I'll be officially changing to News and Current Affair department on 28th January.

Suppose to be very happy but I felt hard to leave Content Creation Group.

They are so good, so kind, so fun....

I really have a great time with them...

Industrial Training # Day 14

Working life is busy. Nothing much to describe.

I'm happy with this environment. Everyone is good. Work is serious.

Although public holidays and weekend might need to work, I don't mind.

Though, I love doing events.

10 more days to go before I shift department.

Look forward. Starting to countdown.......

Post from admin CEO office

Industrial Training # Day 7

Finally finish my first week in 8tv. What a tiring week, weekend also need to work.*sigh*

In another point of view, this weekend are the most happiest day for me, within this week.

Workout Project Superstar.. Wow !!! *like dreams come true*

I did register for all contestants. It's a lot. And various things happened too. Ask me in detail if you want to know.

My admin CEO department head really treat me well, wuwuwu.. I'm so touch T_T She called others to bring me in to different audition room and let me observe and learn.

On the other hand, I get to know a lot of Chinese Content Group people (in another term is production people) too....

They all are good to me. We make fun and enjoy. I like this kind of environment.

Although they might crazy and playful (almost all the time),they still did their job seriously. Everything go on smoothly.

So professional, I'm going to learn. Gambatae : )

Industrial Training # Day 5

I'm terribly tired but I feel like sharing to my friend, so that's why I'm here now.. hehe ;p

A lot of things to say between day 2 to 6, many things happen, many changes too.

However, I'm not going to talk very detail because need a long time and I just come back from Project Superstar, I need a good rest.

Hope you don't mind I let pictures do the talking...

Took this at 3rd day of working, admin CEO office christmas tree.I reach office too early and I manage to get very kindhearted colleague to open the front door for me (I'm too new and my entry tag is not ready yet).

But I couldn't get into another office of mine. Because only my head and her assistant got that office key. So, I took picture... ;p

Finally got my entry tag at 4th day.

5th day. Work at CEO office. Not admin CEO, is REAl CEO office of 8tv, En Omar. Not many document to do today.

So, my head call me to arrange all the CD at En Izham Omar's room. This is the first time I get into his room. I was shock.

Huge and comfortable. Not like normal office. This picture is only 1 side of the office.

This is another side of the office. So nice. So relax. So,so,so.... whatever so...

This is one shock. Another shock is inside this room, he has a few huge CD racks. I can say it's like a CD library ok? Can you imagine, I need to arrange his CD according to alphabetical order.. fine, who call me is intern... do la..

A lot of interesting thing inside.. En Izham Omar has various instruments also. From those, I know he really love music. Some of the instruments I don't really know too. This is 1 of the best instrument, 4 string bass, very very nice.

Since so many CD and instruments, yet arranging CD is bored too, so I ask my head whether I can play some music while working or not. She said OK, then I open some CD (I think we couldn't get those CD here) and that's Wow.............. again........... sound system surprise me... enjoy it.... :D

Industrial Training # Day 1

Report to Media Prima HR at 8.45am. Wait till 9 something.

Had a short brief with HR head Mr Kamal.

Sign agreement then report to 8tv.

So, 11.20am I settle down at Admin CEO department.

It's a powerful department. But, all malay.

Fine. I almost forgot all my Malay. It's time for me to speak and catch up again.

Luckily I still can understand and respond. My colleague are quite friendly too.

However, the work itself, don't seem interesting to me.

I know I could do admin work but I don't like it.

Luckily I will be at Admin CEO for 1 month, then I'll shift to content creation (production) department.

They brief through some of the work. Then I'm on my own. Blur-ing with everything.

Basically I did almost everything.

I see them chit-chating, eating tibbits, seeing me doing work, while I myself have to key in data, find the documentaries,preparing contract and answering all internal and external in coming phones.

Ok. I know it's stupid. I know you are laughing.

But, what to do. I'm new and in the stage of learning.

Fine, sounds like I'm complaining, actually I'm not, I do learn something.

Wish me luck in being an OL for 1 month....

Hell Preparation

Ok. These three days I'm super super busy. Preparing my coming early Industrial Training.

Went to a lot of shopping centre. Bought a lot of stuffs.

Stuffs like jeans, formal attire, sports shoes, high-heels, cosmetics....

All normal things but I lack of them.

Like jeans and sports shoes, you wonder why I need those.

Because they told me production don't wear high-heels and formal attire.

Need to wear jeans and sports shoes.

When they told me this, my mind only flash through a word... "DIE"

I don't like jeans. I only got one jeans and I don't realy wear it.

Somemore sports shoes, I don't even remember my last time wearing sports shoes.

High-heels always with me, I don't know since when.

And, cosmetics, I don't really make-up. Most of the time my friend help me to do make-up.

What to do. Need to learn.

While rushing, their HR still called me, request me to bring some document and passport size photos.

OMG !!!!! they need 3 passport size photos. I don't have so many...

Then rush to take photos again..

After I did my preparation, staraight away I travel to Penang.

Now, just come back from Penang.

Tired. Tomorrow start working.....

Wish me luck : )
