woah!!!
happy chinese new year ya everyone...what a long time since i've posted my updates here...sorry!!!!
Well, b4 cny im quite busy about myinternship programme's stuff which is finding and looking for the most appropriate advertising firm/agency. Fortunately i found 1 of my desire agency at Subang Jaya, and its quite near from klang so its very convenient for me to travel to this agency.
Firstly, i've alrdy found 1 advertising or should i say a publishing house in Perdana Business Center at Damansara also near to IKEA, and of coz i like it there, cz its only a small company with all 7youngsters, plus one of the manager there whom interviewed me is quite good too cz he also a young adult.Unfortunately, its too far for me to travel up and down from klang to there, worse is everyone have to work overtime till 8pm something-9pm and if the clients give us last minute work, den they have to sometimes stay back till midnight or you can sleepover in the office(no wondr i saw so many nice and comfy long sofas posting around the corner, somore in each corner). But of course for me as an intern student no need to stay up so late if v choose not to, moreover im a girl u know, they cant force me to do this, im not their permanent staff.
He showed me their works and which clients they have handled.Its more or less the same as what im doing in my major.And, yeah, its good.
However, the manager explain to me that i'll definitely will learn loads of all those advertising, graphics, event management's thingy, outdoor activities, how to do this and that, and how not to do this and that in a real advertising world. He also assured me that in his firm, stress is part of their lifestyles and sad to say that, we have to eat in different times, meaning no fix time for u, thats why its very free there but of course u must remember to do the work that is supposed and most importantly 'punctuality' in submitting ur work. The staff there which i've seen were quite friendly(stil dont know when we work as a team), smile smile, not 'lcly'*kaka*, and the main thing there is all of them do not know how to read or write in mandarin.hahahaha. I was surprised cz i tot im the one whose the worse chinese people, chinese girl dont know how to read or write mandarin.kakaka.
I think i mention too much about this company ya...haha...cz i like this firm. All like crazy people and i like that cz im always '38' too.:D
This firm called "S'Factory", dont know whether some of u have heard of it or not, its not a very old firm i can say, cz he told me.The manager who interviewed me was alright with me,accepted me to be his intern student, but i said to him that i need to think twice first as he also knows that its very unconvenient either to my mom or me.
Frankly speaking, if this firm does not need to work till the supper time or im staying near there, i sure will confirm with them, but too bad.....im not.
And so i just pend them and continuing on my firm/agency searching.
At last, i found the an agency @ SJ which is a huge agency called 'Fixgo Advertising & Branding'. They even have a company in Shanghai and Germany but i dont know whether its the Fixgo's company or they collaborate with them. I forget alrdy.
This company is quite big compared to the 1st one cz their building was a whole lot and not stay by themselves and its good though cz its easy for us to find them for their name was large sticking on the building. Inside, there were a few departments like creative dptmt , admin&account dptmt and i think others which i still cant see.
Im not very tempted to be in this agency cz...... for me, erm.....i also dont know how to explain to you but one thing i can tel u is that the creative director there whom is the boss in the dptmt and interviewed me was not very good in my opinion, i dont know, maybe he's too 'boss' and straightforward while talking and even viewing my porfolios. Im ok with all the comments he told me whether its bad or not, good or lousy, creative or not, but his speakings were like hurting me and as he is prejudice over me.
However, this is just my very early comments about him, cz hes the leader there and i understand that. Of course i appreciate his comments to me. Its just me ok.... and i can confirm to you guys that hes a pro in all these ads rules and rationality cz after listening to all his speakings, i think in my uni i really did not get the knowledge that can be compared to the real world in advertising, not everything but just a few..... NO OFFENCE!
The good thing was hes also alright with me and given me a chance to as an intern student to let me learn the creative benefits from them.
In addition, hes quite a joker and he really deserved the creative director's ranking.
And so, i've confirmed and accepted their offer the next day morning before lunch time if im not mistaken.
Actually before me, he told me that there was a girl came in for an interview as an intern in his agency but he told the girl that he still need to double confirm with her first, so he asked me if im interested with his agency then pls confirm with him a.s.a.p as to be fair to the girl. I wonder why he didn't accepted her. Just wondering ok...im not boasting around..hahahaha, cz he can also take 2 interns what, den perhaps both of us can become a good teamwork right and somore have a partner to cheer up IF shes a friendly and watever gal...hahaha. Then i got to meet and know another friend.
So, right now im just waiting for the days to arrive upon me.... really freaking worried and wondering whats going to happen throughout my internship's journey in Fixgo. Every feelings and emotions has been mixed up....haha. Oh ya, for ur information, Fixgo dont pay their interns as what S'Factory does. But its fine to me cz the salary that interns get paid are not very much so im ok with a non-pay job as an interns. Reason is im working at SJ so its not necessary for me to drive up and down, my mom will drive me there while going to her office in damansara as well, and if the 1st agency paid me, i still get nothing to save cz need to pay for the petrols, tolls, where now these 2 ..... are so damn costly although the petrols alrdy decreased but still that makes no difference. So, its just the same thing to me as a paid job with a non-paid job.
SJ*no$+Damansara*$$='00'
Anyway, my mom stil give me pocket money to survive even if im in an internship programme as im still a student what....hehe...
As a student, its forever the best part in my life. No commitment, no strict rules®ulations, no early wake up alarms, no worries, no failure(except failure in our grades while studying :P), no need to be too independent as we still can depends on our parents...kekekeke..*what a spoiled child*, relaxed, slow&steady, smooth&easy, chilled&fun, fearless(except the percentage given by lecturers-scared failed then cant proceed to the next upper level plus get a chance to repeat+extending+wasting time&sovereign.) plus so many more...
kakakakakak... I guessed im getting insane alrdy. As an creative/art student, is not an easy way for you to make mistakes or else you'll be fired.
okokok....im babbling here dy, need to end this now as time is getting real late dy.....
p/s: Happy Chinese 2009 Year(Ox) and all the best and good luck and good fortune be tumbling down upon all of you. Dont Worry,Be happy!
au revoir!!
