silent..... Friday, November 20, 2009 |

I love breezy morning when everyone still in their bed
I love midnite when there is only me awake
I never feel good in the noon

How beautiful life is if I could
Sip in a cup of ice chocolate
Fill my tummy with cookies, brownies
Tune in my lovely music
Browse through net for some inputs
Indulge in my own thoughts
Reflect the passed days and question myself
I always love this moment with some cloudy or rainy scene
Yes, the peace and quietness is what we need after mixing all day long with the noises

Where comes all the pressure?
It's the noises inside our mind that make us feel heavy
It's the noises out there that keep pushing us

Let's keep it silent
Shhh..

你多爱演戏？ Sunday, November 15, 2009 |

常常听人说，
人生如戏，戏如人生
都不会觉得有什么值得去反思
现在仔细一看
戏或许如人生，人生却或许不如戏

人生如戏，
不管是戏或人生，都少不了角色
但，这个城市，不管是戏或人生，
演好一个角色原来不那么简单，
因为你或许为了配合大众的口味变成不那么自己
虚应？陪笑？

人生或许不如戏，
戏，你可以安排好角色对白台位背景
人生，总没有一个导演控制着每个角色
戏，角色因剧而终
人生，角色是一辈子的
戏，演员可以不停排练，演好它
人生，只是张单程车票，错过了这站，就只有下一站
戏，你可以选择最佳或最合适的演员来排
人生，你就是个即兴演员，有着什么样的戏，你就演什么角色
戏，你可以为戏里的角色编织向往中美丽的故事结局
人生，前方有着许多未知数，无法掌控的剧情发展
除非你的人生是一部独角戏，自导自演

渐渐发觉原来要演好生活戏里属于自己的角色
比要演好舞台上一个虚拟的角色还来得难
朋友常常说你可以在生活里做选择，
我只能说有些选择已经不是单纯的选择
演好一个生活里的角色已经不是你一个人的事
而是一群人的事
你又有多爱演戏？

Ships-ing: Am I born to be a Sailor? Wednesday, March 4, 2009 |

Hi, peeps,
Are you interested to know about my internship?
Board the boat and have a look!
It's long winded & very technical
Bear with me
The fun part of my internship
Let's put it aside to be shared some other day

Row Row Row a boat, gently down the stream

Sail Sail Sail a ship, gently cross the sea

Since when I made up my mind to be a sailor
Rowing boats were the basic learned in the past
It has then come to practical training on titanic
Somehow I'm wondering
I'm just a petite freshie
How could I navigate through the ocean?
How if pirates attack?
How if shark pops into sight?
How if I get drowned in the tidal wave?
How if the ship is steered to the wrong direction?

What can we do with the worries?
If we never sail through the Atlantis
you will never know the beauty or otherwise of it
So with "go for it" motion
I have departed 3 weeks from the dock
Sailing in the middle of the big ocean
Traveling from Pacific to Atlantis
How do I feel?
Self-contradiction would be the best word
Don't feel like staying in calm sea where there are no sharks and jellyfish
But also fear to be in the howling wave
where you don't even know how well you could swim
Anyhow the principle is there
When the sea is motionless with routine journey
It's not the end of a glaring day
We can jump into the sea for a swim?
Get to know the depth of the water
When the tides are raging
Watch out the steering
Go through them more violently

1st time of venture has broadened my sights
To know, to adapt and to survive
and get along with the PR cultures and organization cultures
Yes to Mr C
What were learned in PR roles and organization communication
are so obviously applied in the real work life

Encroachment?
It happens throughout the company
where those with PR background do not lead
Oh Yeah..I am in the healthcare/consumer marketing department
with senior consultant & supervisor& associates
from bio or science or media background
who know nothing else about PR when they are 1st here
Somehow I wonder is it that equipping yourself with PR knowledge to do PR
that valuable in today's society?
It seems like
anyone could just be a PR if they are equipped with the skills to communicate
you don't really need the cert
It's somehow true
Will a pharmaceutical client pays a PR
who do not know anything about pneumococcal, colorectal products?
Time is gold
Client won't appreciate for your extra time to work or to read up or find out

Ethics of PR?
PR is not ethical?
My instinct prompts me to nod head on that
In a more sophisticated term
we name in liaising with media
In a less-defined term
we name it pleasing the media
instead to ensure the media attendance
building good rapport with them genuinely or with motive is a must
If you are saying you like to talk
is this what you would like and accept?
Walk around and put yourself in their conversation
What stops you from that?
Ethical PR?
Or creating a win-win situation --ethical PR?

Ratio of employees
Doubtfully
Why PR industry is predominant by women?
Pitifully about 3 out of all those staffs involve in PR
are MEN
Men are extincting in the company
That's perhaps the reason
why KK always got sexual harassment by someone
I'm not jealous~~

Culture Shock
Let me introduce you the fish in the ocean.
It's so sad that none of those fish could read & write Chinese
Except for one on maternity leave
Is it that those from English-ed tend to excel in a company?
When would be the day that I could speak English excellently?
Anyhow With the ability to read and write Chinese
I have the opportunity to get involved in the media monitoring of crisis
Whatever whenever and wherever it is
just grab the every little chance
do or perhaps observe
you will learn

PR as POSH investment?
Clients would spend RM30,000++ per month for just merely PR servicing fee
The extra cost for venue are not counted
Is PR service a worth-while investment?
Yes, if you are stronger, capable and knowledgeable than the client
No, if you are not professional at all
To be professional and make you a worth investment item
Widen our knowledge is definitely a need
Yea, I'm still wandering at the shallow part of ocean
Grabbing any learning opportunity
No fear no fear
Though I'm
Fear of making silly mistake
Fear of speaking to the top

Job delegation
What we do at internship?
What do I expect to learn from internship?
Apart from learning as much as I could
I expect to get involved in clients' project
Given chance to plan and contribute ideas and be part of them
To achieve this, we have to be very outstanding
Can we? Yea...learn to be a skilled technician To me I would like to learn everything from head to toe Routine works are unavoidable
Media monitoring: Translation & Summary practice
I believe every intern is doing this currently
In a negative way
we can say the bosses are lazy to look up the papers
In a positive way
This is the best way for us to know what the client wants
Instead of having supervisor to lecture us the bulk of information
One thing good for Malaysian who are trilingual to work in Malaysia
is that we can read, write and speak both 3 languages
Not to be excellent in either one but at least moderate at our age
My job includes translating and proofreading releases & news
Believe it or not?
Sorting those words that are hard to translate is indeed fun sometimes
Let's translate serai into english and some myths of contraception!
How do you feel?
Media relations: Follow up with media and pitch to invite them
Call up to about 100 publications to check on the advisory and RSVPs
What is RSVP?
It's a cool jargon used in media...
It's boring if you think this is a simple call up
Let's make it fun
Sort out way to pitch them
or perhaps change your style in speaking with them
and look for the best style for best person
There is no one style fits all
Pitching them needs skills
How would you pitch an electronic product to parenting and health magazine?
It's something to do with twisting and cracking your brain
For a pitching angle
On-site support
Attended World Kidney Day Press Conference
Worked as media registrar It was an eye-opener

Badge of World Kidney Day in March
If not of this I won't be in dilemma on issues revolving PR ethics
The way PR treats others Is with pure sincerity or with motive?
Helped out in World Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month Media Workshop
It was in a room at One World Hotel
in which the media were invited to a workshop

Nice pencil box prepared by One World Hotel~Cool
Sorry for the poor quality of photo with my little handphone

Look there are pen, pencil, clips, eraser,ruler, stapler in the box

Our client's~ Merck's Erbitux pen
Why is client willing to spend that much for the media?

That's the way PR works
Events Management
Liaise with hotels on the booking of rooms for clients' usage
It seems to be simple but there are things to learn
for the very first exposure
some unfamiliar terms
like recce, signage, ways of payment:undertaking, room setting......
Internal Training
My company do provide training starting from this week
for those who are in the company for less than 6 months
So do interns
I'm happy that we're part of them
and happy with the sharing
given by our experienced supervisors and consultants
As mentioned by them
We work with client not work for client
So it does not mean that we have to sacrifice all our time
to prove that we perform well and attend to the client whole-heartedly
we are paid for the 7 1/2 working hours but not more than that
If we have to OT all the time
our time management is really in crisis
is that true?
how much it applies to PR firm?

Fear of doing PR
Somehow my previous stupid act is still playing in my mind
At my welcome lunch, my department director threw this question to me
What would you do if your client asked you to do a program for cervical cancer?
I have spoken something very stupid and then she changed it to let's make it easier
How about breast cancer?
Seriously
I'm now a healthcare idiot for me to think of any plan
I should have answered it properly
I would research on the trend and understand how is the breast cancer
By then only select targeted audiences
And plan relevant program towards it
Different programs cater at different level of target audiences
Perhaps a tie-up with bra companies & others
Perhaps a media workshop
Perhaps ..
I was blank that day!!

I have a good supervisor, Audrey
who is cute, smart and energetic
patient and sincere
someone that I do really respect
Hope to learn more from her and the company

5th Day of CNY Monday, February 2, 2009 |

5th Day of CNY
Another gathering with our previous pyscho class friends
Note: Monkey Jac put us a big Aeroplane
So disappointed Ninja & wan ying could not make it
Anyhow
We met up at Gurney Plaza
Having our lunch at Manila Place

~Both of us~

We had our movie
The wedding game

The story begins when Jack (Christopher Lee) publicly proposes to Sue (Fann Wong) during the live telecast of a regional awards show.
Surprised but happy, Sue accepts.
What the public doesn't know is that the entire love affair is an elaborate and meticulously planned ruse designed by their ambitious managers May and Tom.
In reality, Jack has disliked Sue from the first day they met and vice versa.
But through it all, the two stars keep up with the charade.
Just when everything is going so well, an incident has rattled some of the fans and the media. There is doubt now lingering about the authenticity of this love match.

To me...it's a nice movie with the nice song
and somehow it brings out the inner meaning of love
Yea..u can fool everyone that you love someone
but can you fool yourself?
Play the song ~ it's nice! (stop my blog music below if it is playing)

Do you like the song as I do too?
Too bad..I still cant find a source to get this song
Anyone has it?

Hehe..that's our chik-chak-ing again!!

The dry beach with the polluted dirt & rubbish!

Gathering of old school friends~~~ Sunday, February 1, 2009 |

4th Day of Chinese New Year

There goes the gathering of some of my 2ndary sch friends
at Queensbay Mall
Yeah..all gals..my sch is not a co-ed sch..
Meeting up with old school friends
is something anticipating but anxious
Seriously I have not meet some of them for almost 2 years
Yeah..It is difficult to meet me up 2 years ago
Glancing at them
Some of them remained unchanged
Some of them have changed
but one thing is their characteristics are the same
I wonder how about me?

Apart from me and Choon Nee
Both of them went into Form 6
Regretting from not joining them?
I wont....I think I have chosen the path I want
It's interesting to listen to their stories in Form 6
and their complaint about lecturers and Malays in Uni
while telling my stories in college
One question that is unavoidable during such gathering
is that
"Do you have bf now?"
*grins*
No one believes even if I say no
hehe
can my look give you the answer?

It's short but still memorable
When would be our next gathering??
Hehe...

★ Chinese New Year ★ Thursday, January 29, 2009 |

Feeding some milk to the moo moo's on my blog during Chinese New Year
How do you feed your moo moo?

~Da Chu Xi~

I've been to my grandma's hse for reunion dinner as usual
It's kinda different now when the elders are not around
The food are no longer cooked by grandma and aunts
Instead the food are ordered and served
Without the taste of the family
Spending time together with relatives that I haven't met for long
With my cute little cousins
Playing those kids playdol..making those ice-cream
how nice it is to sing lullaby together with the cute little kids
with their eyes looking at you and face close to you and mouth mumbling the song..
So Sooooocute!!

Without acknowledgment, I was brought to the ferry and to Prai to visit my uncle
I was there with the task to take care of my 2 little cousins..
Sigh......I thought it would just take me 1 hour but who knows...
and it ruined out my plan
Still..I was happy with the kids and the chance to meet my uncle
That's the bad thing when you are with a clan of elder relatives
What we do is just "I will follow you!"
Ended up I have only 10 minutes to meet my cousin coming back from England and KL
The bonding is so weird now after long time separate apart

As usual, I went out to pray with my family in the mid night
Sei lo...I really dunno how to lit up the josssticks
Can I just pray with hands? T.T

~ Chu 1~
The very chu 1
I visited my friend who got accident few months ago
Sigh..he cannot move in and out as he likes now
with only his mum and him at home
It's kinda inconvenient
Luckily he is safe
His brother passed away due to accident
only left his mum and him
Hope he recovers soon and can dance like a peacock
hehe
That started our Kedah trip at night
Hehe...I am so happy that I have a lovely aunt
who always wants me to sleep in her room while my family at other room
hehe...my priority....
Anyway..I went to her house to feed the hungry mosquitoes
maybe there are too many bushes around..
And I have to be the great generous blood donor

~chu 2~
Tadaa..
It was a day that we visited relatives and some so called relatives that I dunno around
As my sis's motto this year
"HUAT HUAT HUAT"
Sometimes it is fun to go around visiting others
observing how their houses and family are
I got to know my cousin who get married in China with a Taiwan wife
their kid spoke Chinese with China Slang..Omg..it's so cool
Even my another cousin get married in Singapore with 2 children
Their English are so so fluent and good
We were served with freshly made egg-tart at my grandma's goddaughter's son house
wow..the relationship at my dad side is much complicated than ever
with so many unknown faces
that we only got to see in the festive season or perhaps wedding dinner
:p

Look! the most natural faces of everyone
I love the nicely-designed house of my cousin
When will I have my dream house??
I was kidnapped to my nieces and nephew's house for overnight
lalala..with the queen-like treat by them
But they have grown up and no longer that manja and depending on me

~Chu 3~
Hehe..day back from Kedah
and passed by Juru to visit our aunt's family and the lovely Joel
Lalalala...our aunt treated us Seoul Garden as dinner
Other than enjoying eating
not forgetting to play with the cutest than ever Joel
Look!! How BRILLIANT he is to wash his hands with 2 taps
How cute is his answer when we ask him who you miss
How mischievious he is when we were camwhoring
with eyes looking elsewhere
How keen he is to be in the camera after being trained by us..
wakaka
&
How down down mood he is after knowing that we were going back to our home
instead of following him home
Playing firecrakers with him
hahahaha

Do you want a kid like him??
Haha...get married now la

T.T Monday, January 26, 2009 |

I have promised to myself not to drop a tear during this time back
But...
I'm sorry
The words out of the outraged temper are hurting
and it was dark and creepy
i'm scared
Maybe
I'm that brainless instead
As something nice turned out to be a disaster to me
Hope this will be the last
Everything was over
I am looking forward for more new year fun
Happy Chinese Moo Moo Year everyone!

一样 ---v-- 不一样 Saturday, January 24, 2009 |

怎么了？

回自己的家也会觉得特别紧张？
兴奋得同时也很担心再度的失望
不知不觉已经三个月不在家了
已经习惯那一个人独立在外的生活
回到家总有点不习惯
不清楚东西的摆放位置
小小的一个家都让我有点迷路的感觉
妈妈说我是刚搬来的
哈哈

短短的三个月
人或事有很多的不一样
地球不停地在转动
人或事都在不断地改变
但是还是有些东西是永远都一样的

妈妈还是那么关怀至倍
爸爸还是那死性不改的老样子
妹妹的思想较稳重了却还是那么的馋嘴和无节制
而我呢？有没有人发现我的不一样呢？
除了姨妈妈说的头发长了些
姨婆说的我变黑了
三姨说的我发福了长大了漂亮了
哈哈都很表面

新家添了个新电视
新风扇
还有我的新床
还是一样那么干净

外婆家的鹦鹉虽然老了
但还是一样那么渴望被抚摸
一不被抚摸就会大喊耍赖

以前蛮不讲理的姨婆现在显得较善解人意
或许她体恤到谁是真正的关心她
也开始重视了我们的存在

最坏的不一样就是
没有了老人家的家
变质了
怎么兄弟姐妹都相煎太急？

已经三个月没吃鸡饭了
五秀泽的鸡饭
还是那样的令人回味
可是好像比我印象中的退步了些
那老板娘也好像比较和蔼可亲了

家里的一切都变得好些了
但是我最希望的改变却依然表现得那么的静止无声
甚至还逆舟而行

Wai Kit's 21st French Fries Birthday Saturday, January 10, 2009 |

9th Jan 2009 is the 21st birthday of my another housemate, Wai Kit
So, we definitely had some plans
The spontaneous sweet plan idea by Ying Jia
So, we gave the birthday guy 21 sweets as he is 21 years old now
Mei Qin, his gf said he doesn't take sweets
Yeah..we know it but on purpose
Me took out my 11 sweets + Jia 10 sweets
So, we knocked his door and gave this special spontaneous gift to him
And who know he thinks this gift is super meaningful
while he had forgotten what was the present from his gf last year
Made us laughing non-stop

Of course, our plan did not end with these sweets..
It's just some "pembuka selera"

And that's our plan goes...
Silly people with silly ideas
A French Fries Cake to substitute the cake
Because we had currently immuned to cakes
and our birthday boy loves Mc D French Fries lotzz...
After the continuous birthday celebrations
So, we ordered Mc D delivery for only 3 Large French Fries
Kinda weird
they might be thinking that we are so desperate for fries

Look, Mei Qin was so concentrated in creating something

All works and no play make us a dull toy
So, my client was curi-ing makan first

The back stage expert prescriber..><

Yeah..a completed one..with the happy birthday word & tower
It was lit up with 3 candles only
too bad, we failed to find any candle
what we had was those leftover candles by others
is there any taboo for reusing birthday candles?
So, after everything was done
none of the strangers were at home
our plan should can work more perfectly
we wanted to persuade Wai Kit for dinner
so that when he came out
he got to see the french fries gift
but.....
he said he was full and did not want to go dinner
omg..we were so helpless..
the candles were going to burn the french fries soon
Hehe..luckily Mei Qin managed to manja him for dinner..hehe

The sweet couple

2 of the assistants with the birthday boy

Nice? the other part of the gift will only reveal after the french fries were eaten

Yeah..that' s the other side of the french fries gifts..
Wishes from his friends specially collected by his gf

Dinner celebration at Cannes tea house..
The environment is so conducive
Food delicious
Drinks are so tempting
Happy Birthday to you
Wei Jie
And remember your 21st birthday
As he said the 1st time he got such celebration
hehe....i'm so happie.......................
and nervous for such planning......

+ 心中的小孩子 + Sunday, January 4, 2009 |

他的名字--Joel, 今年五岁，他很顽皮却很逗人喜欢
看着他的一言一止，你都会觉得很开心

我相信
每个人的心里都住着一个小孩子
那个幼年的自己
那个天真无邪
那个倔强固执
那个爱哭也爱笑的小孩子
日子一天一天过
一脸单纯的孩子不见了
只剩下一个表情木然的大个子
一具人前人后的面具
可是，那个幼年的自己并没有消失
它只是静静的躲在我们的心底
一旦闻到快乐单纯的气息
它就会兴奋地跳出来
闹着要一起玩耍
开始赖皮耍别扭
那是最初的快乐
最简单的开心
好似照片里的小孩般没有忧虑地单纯一笑

欢笑的同时

小孩也爱嚎号大哭

但

大个子知道

在其他大个子面前

他不可以随意掉下眼泪

而在没有卸下伪装下

只得背上重重的壳

你的心中的小孩子消失了吗？

或是

他已经变质了？
