The Interview

Today went to Media Prima - Station One for interview. Well, the interview? It was ok. But I'm kinda of nervous and I think some of the thing I answered was quiet not relevant, that's what I felt. My friend also did told me that I should do some homework before going for the interview. But I did not. *Regret*

The employer was late cause she stuck in a terrible jam in KL so I've waited like one hour but of cause the interview starts at 530pm and I reach there at 5pm. So the first thing she asked me is to talk about myself which is not stated inside the resume. So basically I told her what I'm doing currently. And any personal stuff she asked. My mind told, since it is a personal stuff why should I share? *curious* So I answered her, nothing personal at all. Gosh! Now I only told by my friend, maybe she wants the answer like do I do gym, or hang out with friends etc etc. *sigh*

Second thing she asked me what I know regarding this stations / the organization. So as a student, I quiet know something about the organization and even now currently I work also did approach and know this station. She asked me what job I applied? so I told her is regarding marketing / promotion because I like to approach people as in client to advertise in the stations. Of cause I try to be persuasive as possible to get them into it. I told her the station is still a young aka baby station, so there are still many ways to improve and sooner or later it will become a nurtured and everyone will tune into it. But of cause this station do target on different level of audience.

Thirdly, she asked me, if she do called up my current director and ask regarding me, what kind of answer will my director gives. So I told her she might said I'm responsible / detail guy since the thing I dealt mostly I learn by myself but of cause on the progress of learning, i do have some advice and guide from my top boss to my other colleagues. Really learn a lot.

Before she end, she did asked me what's my expectation on the salary. So I told her RM2K ++ . Then she told me since I'm just a fresh graduate, normally is only RM1800. In addition I told her, maybe Rm2k should be fine because I still have other commitment like paying my government loan during my uni years. She did stated down. She told me if I got selected, there would be a next round. Gosh!!!! Now I seriously kinda of freak out!!!!!

Finally, after the interview I only go Google and found this. I think will try out and be prepare! YES I CAN!!!!!

Kamehameha!

In your life, you never know what kind of person you're going to meet tomorrow. Few weeks ago during the Dragonball Evolution special screening, also this is the first time, Asia is showing the premiere before US open not until next month. Before the audiences enter the hall, every single person were required to follow the instruction which is deposit their cellphone, laptop, PDA or other electronic devices to the security team. Everyone was following the instruction until and EXCEPT this fella which this is my first time from the first day I work with the company until this day which I met up such a rude fella!!!!! He is unwillingly to cooperate and follow the instruction. FINALLY my day has come and I hae tasted it!!!!!! I think actually I learn alot from the situation and how to dealt and learn from my marketing director. Thanks to her!!!!

Let me tell you how the story goes.....

Before I trying to explained to him, I asked him to calm down so I can explained it to him thus every thing can be settle accordingly. But he just yelled like no other people's business and trying to grab the attention of everyone who walk pass us. Actually I felt he is super dumbo and as if I'm scared of embarrass in front of the public. Even his friend standing beside him felt so shame and asked him don't try to make any noise and forget about it. I rather explain to his friend which is more understandable then him. WTF!!!! But he insisted and asked me to give him the highest authority's contact so that he could complaint about his unsatisfactory about my attitude etc. I told him you don't have to contact because my director was there and he can talk to her. So I get her and when she came by and talk to him. He said I was irresponsible, rude, don't like me etc etc etc. I just stood behind my director and look at him to see what he got to said. Actually, my director asked him how irresponsible, how rude etc etc about me. The only thing is he KEEP ON REPEATING THE SAME WORD because HE DON'T KNOW HOW TO EXPLAIN AT ALL thus I just follow the rules and responsible to execute my job!!!!! Can you imagine, if a person already know that he was wrong and keep on denying and talk rubbish? He said you guys should have make the notice earlier and not on the spot. Since he just got the ticket one hour before the show starts. I mean come on, during this one hour time, you can already plan or decide to watch or not to watch. And there are rules you still have to follow. Other people are also first time watching and attend such an event and I didn't see they fuss about such a small matter. But I do believe there are some people don't like the rules. Maybe I just didn't see it or hear it on the spot.

Besides he unsatisfied with me and he already don't have any words to said, then he continued to "shoot" one of the cinema manager and also one location manager. I very pity both of them. That fella keep on asking, who's got to be responsible with the laptop if it is lost or the files are been disclose? And are you guys taking responsiblity towards it? I was like WTF????? You just got a free movie ticket and you're trying to be so sarcastically saying those nonsense? Because beside me, the cinema has the final authority or decision doesn't allow the person to attend it. So as usual, he complaint it to the highest authority of the cinema.

Below is the email he emailed to the cinema: -

Subject: Irresponsibilities attitude shown by XXX cinema managers

To whoever concern,

Cinema: XXXXX
Date & time: 10/03/2009 21:00
Movie: Dragon Ball Evolution Premiere

Referring to the above matter, herewith I would like to lodge a serious complaint on the XXXCinema Managers whom is on-duty (A &B) when the incident occurred. The incident began with the movie distributor (XXXXX) issued last minute notification and instructed the RELA guards to confiscate every patron's mobile phones as well as laptops. The situation is such a chaos. (Actually this is not last min at all and I believe everyone have the decision to make to watch or not. RELA guards did not confiscate but to check. There’s no chaos at all. Everyone is queuing into it and go thru another security check. THIS IS A TIGHT SECURITY & TO COMBAT / MINIMIZE PIRACY)

I had query the XXXX cinema manager why the cinema will arrange this kind of last minute notification. Also, if there is any lost in terms of the confiscated belongings, and who should be taking the responsibility. At this point the cinema manager push the responsibility away to the movie distributor and diverted me to sort out the matter directly with the distributor. I threw the same question to the distributor, they are not going to pay also if those stuffs really lost somehow. The distributor person in-charge even told me the things is definitely safe with her presence and they had organized millions of such showing. When I asked again how can it be safe unless someone would willing to pay/compensate in case anything really happen. (Because I believe, and so far every movie, we will stay until every single screening ends.)

At the other side, the excuses given by A is - the distributor had the sole rights to place their own security guards to check and confiscate patrons and their belongings. There's nothing he can do. XXX cannot blame the distributor because XXX is hoping the distributor continuing to distribute movies for XXX cinema in future. What i have understood from XXX cinema managers' stand point, a distributor should not be blame and offended because they were business counterpart. Which in turn patron should be the one XXX should offend, i had watched tones of movies in XXX cinemas and at the end this is how XXX repay its customers. I don't found the explanation given by A & B is acceptable. (They didn’t offend anything at all. They are also doing their job. Also cooperate with the distributors)

The way XXX dealt with my issue above was truly disappointed. I wish someone with higher authority than the cinema manager A & B can give me a really satisfy reply/feedback with regards to the above matter. Hope to hear from you soon.


SO NEXT TIME WHEN GOING TO THIS KIND OF EVENT, JUST FOLLOW THE RULES AND REGULATIONS! WE ARE JUST PERFORMING OUR JOB AND NEED LITTLE COOPERATION. THANKS.

Desa Park City Tour

Yesterday had a perfect day. In the afternoon went to One U to watch my friend, Ron and his school mates are performing for the Music Festival organized by Popular Bookstore. But of cause David, How Seng and Bryan was there to watch it too. As usual, Saturday afternoon definitely a lot of people especially those family categories shoppers compared to Pavilion or KLCC or Times Square which are more youngsters. Can see most of the crowds are enjoying the music performed by the Yamaha students. After that, Me and Bryan went to had a new hair cut while the rest went to MPH to kill the time. Then Ron said wanted to change a new place to have some drink so went to Full House (famous dinning restaurant cum cafe) in the Nu Che Sui in Ara Damansara. The place was not bad too bad is the place which is located at the not so strategic spot!!!!!

In the evening, Bryan left us and joined his friends for dinner while left only 3 of us, so Ron decided to take us to a tour where he stay called: - KEPONG. So he took us to this new developed housing area called Desa Park City. Soon, Ron's family is going to built a banglow there! His family had decided to buy a piece of land there and built their own banglow there! Seriously that place is nice! Something like what David said, Malaysia's Beverly Hills. All the housing area are organized and some are private!!!! Really very cool!!!! We did take a few walk in the Desa Park City lake. The lake was nice and a few people brought their own little dog there for a walk.

The dinner that I'm not gonna missed out in this post is we had bak kut teh in the famous restaurant called Ka Ka Restaurant which was introduced by Ron. It is just a few minutes away from his house. Supposingly I suggested to go to have this Klang Bak Kut Teh (Klang Bak Kut Teh is different from the normal one, it is cooked in a dry style) because was introduced by my friend. While David also know this place but suddenly he recalled that, the Klang Bak Kut Teh only operates in the middle of the night and also in the afternoon instead for dinner. Another thing is they said the shop got this turtle as a pet?? Gosh!!!! really very weird!!!!

Besides dinner and touring, we also had share a few ghost stories among ourself!!!! Haha!!! Ron still owed us a ghost stories about his school!!!! Well, he did drove us and see a haunted house that's near his school. While I shared my stories regarding the days I was staying in the KTAR hostel. Which I heard lots of ghost stories from my friends.

I really had a wonderful day!!!!

New In Town

Yesterday afternoon I went out with friend. We went to had our late lunch at MOF in Pavilion. I had a bowl of noodles. Who knows, the noodles are not nice at all!!!! The noodles are not smooth and the chicken meats as well. *sigh* Then me and my friend to catch up a 445pm movie: - New In Town. I love this movie, esp. Renne is inside!!! Haha

Basically New In Town talks about this lady called Lucy who moved to a small, Minnesota town to supervise the restructuring of a blue collar manufacturing plant. After enduring a frosty reception from the locals, icy roads and freezing weather, she warms up to the small town's charm, and eventually finds herself being accepted by the community. When she's ordered to close down the plant and put the entire community out of work, she's forced to reconsider her goals and priorities, and finds a way to save the town.

I now still unemployed. Freshly graduated. Hunting for job within Malaysia (PJ) and Singapore. But imagine going to Singapore. Alot of things have to change and adapt. I will deeply miss all my friends who are here. Also my lifestyle. *sigh*

In the late evening, I just throw a small farewell gathering to both of my friends who are leaving to Australia today to further their studies. After that, roughly 130am we went to sing karaoke. It was fun except Ron and Jo was not there to witness the event. *sigh* I do really miss both my friends!!!! Hope to see you guys end of this year.

p/S: Video of the event will upload soon. =)

V-day Card Part II

Haha. Finally finished the two others before V-day on Saturday. Below are the outcome. =)

The red one is for Bryan and the white one is for Andrew!!!! Haha.....Actually both this card I did during my office hours. Haha.

Special V-Day Card

Last Friday night, I asked some friends to go out yum cha as usual, our Friday evening activity, but turn out everyone have something to do so, I just stay at home and do a V-Day card which I planned to do it and send it out on Saturday morning. Well, the card just took me roughly one hour to do it. Below are the outcome.

From the left are color papers and the words I cut out and the the rest of the two are the outcome. =) But I think it is very static. One of my friend said it is nice. Maybe this is personal requirements which always want to achieve more higher point. Haha. While inside is the picture of us with the phrase, "I wanna remember us just as we are now." which I adapted from the movie, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. I think it is very sweet. By the way, I do found out a few memorable phrase which I think it impress me. There's this one which Daisy said to Benjamin, "we're almost the same age, we're meeting in the middle."

I did promised some friends which are attached and single that I gonna make for them. So guys, just wait for it. Just now I tried to make it but failed again and not enough of paper. So tomorrow only go Mid Valley and buy it. =)
