I'm back!

Pardon my absence. It's been quite a while... been busy with internship, part time work, family, and myself for the pass 2 months.

Well, my internship ends on the 6th Sept. It was a great experience working with all the people in Bates 141 during the 14 weeks . I've been involve in so much event planning and event management. It really gave me a greater understanding of how an events works from the beginning till the end.

During these 3 and half months of internship, i barely got the chance to go back to hometown (Muar) due to the busy work schedule weekly. I was kinda sad and happy at the same time at the last day working in Bates 141. I was sad to leave those great ppl i've been working with for that period; and happy that it's finally over and i can take a break from the hectic work and go back to my hometown where the lifestyle there are much laid back compared to KL. That's about it for my internship.

Back to Muar was great, especially after so long since my last visit in may? or june? There's not much changes back in Muar except 1 thing. We've got a latest addition to the Ng's family - Isabell (my niece). She's just absolutely adorable, cute and loveable.

As u guys might know that my bro's shop - Orenhaus is short of man power cuz one of the salesman took a super long holiday and dunno when will he be back. So i helped him out at his shop for a while before the new semester start commencing on the 13th Oct.

So basically, i've been pretty busy during my absence. lolx..

My arm!

"Riiinggg...." Awaken by Julian's (my supervisor) message yesterday morning. Thanks to his 'morning call' cuz i forgot to set my alarm. The moment i got up from the bed, i realized that i can't lift up my right arm (probably slept in wrong position the previous night). Having to wake up so early on a Sunday morning to work was bad enough, but unable to lift up my arm? 'This is so so bad' I thought to myself. Still, i get myself ready in a slower than usual manner because of my 'disabled' right arm.

At 8.30am, I sped off to Mid Valley to get place of the event ready. Btw, we're having the Enfa A+ Smart System Camp in Mid Valley. Everything goes on pretty smoothly except my 'disabled' right arm which was giving me a little trouble while lifting some stuff. I can't lift anything above shoulder level.

Planned going to the doctor to 'enable' my right arm during the afternoon where there's less crowd. Surprisingly, my right arm showing some improvement so i decided to hang on & see what happen. Luckily my right arm is 'fully enabled' by itself at the end of the day.

Something i've found out

While at the F&N event i've also been giving out F&N Freestylz stickers, encouraging people to expressing their creativity by spraying on the 'wall' and draw on sketchbooks. Guess what.. Not much people would wanna take whatever ur giving or do whatever u are promoting.

As i've mention earlier, stickers been given out to the crowds. I've noticed quite a lot of people turn away or shock their head when i try to give them the stickers. However if i place the stickers nearer to their hand, they'll take it while shaking their head. Some people even turn back to take it after they walked pass me. And this happen to most of the Chinese. Body-out-of-control syndrome perhaps, haha..

Another thing that i've found out is that people react to the word 'free'. I was encouraging people to spray and design something on the other corner. Lots of people would only try it when the word 'it's free' are heard. The syndrome above also applied here, when u hold the spray can close enough, they'll take it.

Lots of people also ask whether they'll get any freebies or prizes if they draw on the sketchbooks that i've offered to them. I mean, not everyday u get a chance to express yourself in public..

Anyway, here's some pic of the final artwork of the 8 finalist.

Unleash Your Art

Was involve in 'F&N Freestylz' at Piazza, The Curve. It was an event where the 8 Freestylz finalist get to compete against each other to win a trip to Japan where they gotta design on a 6ft tall can in 6 hours. Besides, there were also other activities such as street art demonstration by Orkibal & Shieko (reputable local street artist), launching of the new F&N can drinks, performance by Yazir and The band, Meet Uncle Hussain, Joe Flizzow and Danny One. Booths (Chill Pill, Game Station, Street Smart & Design Work) were set up to entertain the crowds and further boost up the happening atmosphere.

Here's some pictures of fellow colleagues at work..
