----------------------------------------------------------------------------
7 different scenes were acted to bring out the 7 sins feeling- lust, gluttony, greed, sloth, wrath, envy and pride... in the room, they used two stage to act.. both at the other end of the room, while audiences were seated at the center and side... it was different from what i imagined....

we had to sit at the floor.... with a mat and cushion provided.... there were about 30-40 people who came.... It's truly a Malaysian style.. with a rojak language altho whole play are in English but still added some Malays and Cantonese words.... and also our so-called-identity with the words -la,-ma after each sentences...


our seating place....


while waiting for everyone arrivals, the actors had to keep posing until the play began


Lust
shows a couple in the hotel room, talking, argue-ing and end up making love..

Gluttony
A marriage couple having dinner, the girl kept eating nonstop.... and only realize she's eating the husband's friend's meat and other parts of body... Apparently, the husband killed his friend cuz found out that there's something going on between the wife and his friend....

Greed
Regarding law.... To win the case, the lady aka politician(?) offers a position in her company with high salary.. in the end Judge pledge the lady guilty, the salary wasn't not good enough for the judge.... encourage them to give more when they appeal for their case....

Sloth
it was a silent(no dialogue) play. with only sounds of people knocking the doors and a girl with a rope around the neck were screaming for survival. the neck at the rope were connected to two people who kept pulling and acting ignorance of the knocking sound.

Wrath
war scene. a soldier was detained and was questioned for killing a lil girl... background, 4 zombies. possessed the soldier(i think) and speak on the soldier behalf about how fulfilling it is to kill the lil girl and etc....

Envy
Two siblings, twins were argue-ing over the loves they received from their parents.... The older 1 was envy over the younger sis for getting most of the attention from both parents and wanted to leave the house....

Pride
A famous coffee maker was furious over a guy who blackmail the coffee maker for knowing his darkest secret in making his coffee. End up the guy got killed by the furious coffee maker who tried to ruin his reputation...

Ended at 10.30pm. Overall the play is not bad... some are quite funny tho.. ^^


the programme book cost us RM3! but the production only cost them RM1.60 (B&W inside-Rm0.60, and 1 colour for cover-RM1.00)


taken for fun... does it gives you certain feel/mood?



furnitures made from "dawai"(?) very painful to seat on it


bro and i

Today went to college to show ms ong my final works.. All this while my mum and bro kept asking. "why am i still doing the same work(poster) for the past few months?" Well, no choice, artwork has to be re-do over and over again for approval... And finally, today my lec approved! gosh, at last... Now that the main work has complete, all i need to do is to apply the ad into different medias and I'm done.. hehe.... wonder if i have the time since end of this month have to present already.... sigh...

Anyway, on my way out from the lobby, Fly FM car parked outside.... those sort-of-roadshow..?
i didn't answers any of the given questions but i got one free bag and Revive.... thru a childish game, i got 2 free tix to a play called " The seven deadly scenes" at KL PAC tomorrow.... A play? i rather get a cinema tic den a play tic... Plan to go with my bro tomorrow since both of us never been to a play.. but i doubt I'll be interesting.. From what i heard, usually a play kinda boring..? hopefully I'm wrong cuz i don't want to be dead bored trap in the theater.. lol


The goodies...


Zoom in- the tix

If you're the one who suggested to have an event, the one who ask others when they're free, the one who set the date.... shouldn't you automatically became the organizer/person in charge?

And if you are.... why cant you learn to be a a bit responsible? perhaps you portrayed tat in college, but among friends, you didnt do so.... eventho it has been years....

as an organizer, obviously u should plan the event( you can ask help, but please let that person know and not to assume that person can read your mind!) ASSUME= when u separate the word it becomes.. a** - u - me....

i asked : as an oranizer, didn't you told everyone about the plan?
your reply?- huh? im the organizer? i have told XXX(names are secret). i tot u're imforming... i dont have others num. (imagine how i felt when i read this msg, when u did not tel a thing of calling me to inform anyone!)

if you dont have their num, at least let me know, cant expect me to read your mind! im not a physic!

and u're the one who suggested the venue last week, now u told them i suggested it?! causes them to replan....
WT.... i didnt suggest nor say anything regarding this event, all i said was: ok, im free but will join you all later.... i cant believe u push everything to me...

After all this years.... you're stil the same...

On 11th December 2008, i went for an interview for my internship at Beyond Advertising Sdn Bhd, at Kuchai Lama. This is my second interview(included mock-up interview we had in college), but this is my first REAL interview... I was asked to be there at 4.30pm, but my lec adviced me to be at least half hour or one hour early. because of this interview, i actually went to sg wang to look for heels the day before. luckily found one...


the heels i brought for 63 bucks....

Around 4pm, i reached the company, the interviewer- Mr Gary Choo was out, so i waited for about 10minutes, another guy, Mr Nicholas came and interviewed me. this interview is totally different from the mock up, because he didnt ask much questions, all he asked was "do you have transport to here?", "it is convenient for you?" and some questions relates to my portfolio.... after that, he gave a brief history about the company. Beyond has been established for almost a decade(a surprise to me, cuz i never heard of this company before), they worked with many big clients as well such as digi, property -bevelly hills, etc..... The company is located at shoplot, second floor. there are 10 staffs, including MD and CD....

Not long later, Mr Gary Choo came and joined the interview session, but thank god he didnt ask anything, just go thru my certs and portfolio. After that, i was given a tour around the company, staffs was introduced, and they saidi will work under Mac user(cuz they have extra macs...) i wonder if there's any big differents between mac and pc..... Ms ong said only the command keys are different. hopefully she's right..

Well, i am hired! gonna start on 5th January... interns for 3 months.... and good news is, i do not need to wear formals! means no heels!! yeah yeah!!

Day 2 of Yatra seminar...

almost late to the venue, luckily the train came on time, i managed to reach just on time.. but as usual, malaysian time... always late, we waited outside the hall for bout half an hour(i think), meanwhile "Don't Panic" was given out.


waiting, chatting, etc....

tat's the snack i mentioned, rachel's expression says it all...


rachel and i

today meet up with eva ,shin ee and adrian.... went to times square to watch twilight... was eager to watch since its release last week. Eva watched with her collegemate, so today only adrian and i went to the cinema. We meet up with Eva and Shin ee(after their trip to edu fair at PWTC) around 1 something.... shopped around, i'm in search for heels while eva and shin ee search clothes....

at 4.20, adrian and i went to cinema while the gurls continued shopping... Twilight is indeed a romantic movie, but i hate it when the cinema cuts few scenes, it ruined the entire show... and dislike the lead actor, put on too much make up in the beginning, his make up is exactly like the lead actress... i know as a vampire they have to be extremey pale... but too much tho....

After tat went for dinner, walked around and bang into cheng han, apparently he's working for U Mobile.... chatted awhile, den we head to kenny roaster.... not long after tat, dear joined us -after having haircut at sg wang....

once dinner over, went to look for heels again, this is my first time trying so many heels at once, but i didnt buy any in the end... sorry gurls for making u to acc me to walk around altho u're tired....
