My Astro 开心了龙龙

On an early October, I saw an advertisement via Astro and the advertisement is about shooting a music video. Since Chinese New Year is around the corner, Astro plans to shoot the music video in every states and so Kuala Terengganu is one of the spot. The shooting was started at 8am sharp on 18th Nov.2011 and before we departed, my mom was wearing a sexy red shirt and she looked like a cardinal bird a.k.a angry bird. Then, I questioned her, "Mom, are you sure you want to wear like this?!" and she replied me "Sure! Shooting music video for Chinese New Year what!" Please larh, Mom! Who you think you are? Super star arh? The director will only asks you to stand away from the camera!

We reached there around 8.30pm and I was shocked! Around 300 people (according to the news reported) were participating. I guess almost all the Chinese in Kuala Terengganu were there. After that, I walked around with my camera and I saw my friends-YiNien Toh and ChuiYing Fong. I did invited to join the shooting but I rejected. Actually, I wanted to tag along but I need to carry along a 300g camera and since they were shooting, so I need to stand away from the camera.

"So mom, where are you?" 

Queuing Up. 

Later, I found a perfect position  and it was next to their camera. After I seized the place, I started to snap some photos. When I looked through the screen on my camera, I saw somebody was dancing and I was like "Uncle, can you please move your ass away?!" then I shifted my camera away to make sure who was that man and... oh, it was the director a.k.a ChiuDao! Next, I'll let the pictures do the talking.

"Ok, nice shoot! Take a break and we'll shoot again." 

"ChiuDao, you said good shoot but why we need to re-shoot?" 

"Mr.Director, make it fast larh! Very hot wehy~"

Terengganurians, are you ready?!

Cheers!!

"Ok! Good shoot!"

"Mr.Director, make sure it's a good shoot arh. I am not going to re-shoot.
Hold on, where is my mom? WHERE IS MY MOM?!"

The product

After the shooting, I did take a photo with ChiuDao and he was very kind. He thanked me after we took this photo and I wonder why? "Erm, Mr.Director, I never take part in the shooting because I need to carry my camera. So no need to thank me."  My friend told me that I look awkward in this photo. Is it? Hmm, I think it is because I do not know how to respond when people put his or her hand on my shoulder. It would look more weird if I put my hand on his waist.

Besides, I like their t-shirt and I regret that I never request it from the director! I wish I could wear it on the 1st day of Chinese New Year. So, can I have one? Ok, I am going to call-in to Astro and ask for it! Last but not least, I am looking forward to this amazing video and wish to see you guys soon!

Random

I was chatting with one of my course-mates few weeks ago and she did told me how her life carries on. Recently, she works as a part time in a contractor firm because she is having a 3 months semester break.  She told me that she learnt quite many things in the firm. Hmm...at least she went to site for twice and as a friend, I am glad to hear it! When she questioned me how was my job progress and what I told her just "read the drawings lorh~ read the articles lorh~" I felt so  embarrassing  upset because I did nothing besides study the drawings and articles.


I told my dad that I am going to quit when I was having my breakfast with my parent on the next day ! But my dad just kept silent. Then, I went to the office after my breakfast and I read some articles as usual. Around 12pm, I applied some jobs from the kakak in-charge and she said "tarak larh~" then I requested some drawings from her. She was impatient and showed me her bitchy face. Fine, I looked for the supervisor!


On the beginning, the supervisor asked me to estimate the quantities of a bungalow but I stopped him because I only knew to calculate the foundation, floor and wall and I haven't come across with the stairs and roofs. I did learnt AutoCAD in last two semester. So I issued him "Can I draw some drawings by AutoCAD?" and finally he gave me a bungalow with A2 size and asked me to draw it by AutoCAD. Thus, I can tell my friend that "I do some AutoCAD works" instead of study drawings and read articles.

When I was drawing the bungalow by using AutoCAD, the boss a.k.a uncle was surprised when he entered office. Then he said "Not bad marh! At least the shape is coming out." I was like "Please larh~ I had been taught this by an architect k." Before he left, he touched my shoulder and said "Ban Ban Ouk (pick up slowly)" and what was appeared in my mind was: I had been trained to summit two plan views within 1 week and now you ask me Ban Ban Ouk?!

Life in Kaytee

Hello folks! I am back! Since there have not been offered in short semester, so I am now enjoying my 3 months break at my hometown. Hmm... Enjoy? Sometimes it could be dull because there is no cinema and shopping complex in Kuala Terengganu aka Kaytee. However, I sometimes accompany my mom to pasar and  I accustomed to listen to this "Eh, holidays arh?" and I feel like reply them in this way "Yea larh! If not come back visit u arh?!" instead of "Yea.. Yea..(with a smile)" Even though the life in Kaytee is boring but I still love it!

Before that, I actually tried to get a part time job in KL area which is related to construction field but after I contacted the person in-charge, she told me that I need to walk around 30 minutes from the LRT station to reach their firm. 30 minutes you know! Therefore, she suggested me to take a cab. What I want to tell her is "If you are willing to give me RM1000 as my salary, I am ready to accept the job." In the end, I get a part time job in Kaytee which is also relayed to construction field. In fact, the job should start in October but due to some reasons it started few days before.

I used to call the boss as uncle because he is my neighbor since I was born. On the first day, I reached the firm at 11am and he was in the meeting room. After that he introduced me to other colleagues. Next, he told me that "Actually your time can be very flexible larh~ If you want to come then you can come. No need to come here everyday." Once he told me this, I know, this is a non-profit part time job. I really don't mind about the salary because I am not even a diploma holder.

I am the kind of person who can't get along with strangers quickly hence till date I have yet to speak to my colleagues. One of my best friends told me that, as a trainee, you yourself have to request some jobs from your colleagues. Not just wait them to give you a job. Hmm... Well, I am prepared to work for them if they are willing to give me some tasks. But they can even play FIFA when boss is not around and it shows that the jobs are limited. Do you think they will give me some 'extra' duties?

Besides that, I am required to read all the drawings with the materials and it was just a drawing on the first day and so I used around 1 hour to finish it. Next, I was asked to read a Contract Document. I am kinda familiar with this because I studied it last semester. It is only a Lump Sum contact. So I had used 1 hour to finish the tasks which was given by the manager and so, from 12pm to 5pm, I repeated reading the same thing.

On the second day, when I reached the firm at 9am sharp, I thought I am going to do the same damn thing as yesterday. When I started to flip through the drawings again, the manager stopped me and said "You can also take a look on the catalogues at the back there and try to understand the price lists." and I was like "Thank GOD, at least, I got something to do!" I was so excited and read through every article inside but few hours later, I turned idled. Apart from this, I realised that almost all of the catalogues were published before year 2005. What is the purpose of me understanding the prices? However, I am now still reading the catalogues.

Few days ago, I met a Fortune Teller and he said my career gonna be well developed when I am 26 and he also added, my partner will come into sight when I am 24. Well, I am not a superstitious person but what he told me were quite true. He said I am a person who like to spend money and sometimes the way I speak is ill. Hmm.. Quite true! Hahaa! I guess my friends who know me well are nodding now. Right?
