sem 6

every sem, i come back here full of energy and emotions.
every semester is so different.
its so overwhelming. EVERY SINGLE TIME.

i noe every sem i'm bound to use the word "overwhelming".
but its truly the only word i can think of to describe what i've gone thru.
to the extend that every time i lie down in my bed and look back of this passed 3 months.
the sense of accomplishment and the rpide just welds me to tears.
its not that i've done very well.
i'll admit, this semester was rather bumpy and i might nt even come out good.

but nonetheless, the results on my card will never do justice to the feeling, the experience and the journey itself.

the experience. interning at a real advertising agency. to be doing jobs and work that really matters. of course being yelled at and screwing up. doin mistakes is also part of my journey there. but the point is that i've learnt so much and taken so much from this journey. the people, the work, the whole package!


to move out for this 3 months, to learn to pick myself up everytime i fell down. to be alone and by myself. as scary as it seems. i'm proud of those moments.

the time when my car fell into this lubang early in the morning. and i had to run everywhere to find ppl nice enough to risk being late to work and help me carrylift my car out. running everywhere, asking everyone! in freaking damansara!!! the end, ppl did help, eventho a gazillion ppl turn me down. but the ones that did. wow!

the presentations, doing job on my own. handling real projects.
it was the bomb!

yesterday was the official end of my semester 6. we did the almost 40 page report, our presentation, the evaluation the interview. everything. i noe i may not fair very well. but this time. sumhow, it didnt matter anymore. not that much.

Day 8 - Mon, 160608

whoa...tday was busy busy busy busy busy busy busy...
i like being at bozell... coz they let me join in everything..
like being really involved.
:)

plus L&J are really nice, they'll explain the stuff that they do...
they talk to me bout their experience...
the good clients.... and the not-so-good ones who will be harsh and mean.
but thats the works of client servicing.

its rather inspiring in a way...like wat L says.
"its hard, and you gotta be tough to take on client servicing. its really challenging as in u meet diff ppl. and you have to work with them, observe how they are as a person. even the really mean & difficult clients. you'll resent them and hate them, but by the end of the day when everything is over, the sense of accomplishment is so high."

this morning the 1st thing we did was sit in a meeting, it was like an overview of all the new ads that came out during the last week. our VA pro, Pz. he's really funny..and really nice too... after that we had a meeting for our "work-in-progress"...that was exhausting!!! like every acc reports on the status of their jobs...whats new, whats on the way, which wan need editing...which one redo... stuff like that...

after that i did a job req for UB leaftlet, sent them out...straight after that we ran to the UB's TVC discussion with our creative director, CS. he's real nice. he reminds me of one of our funky lecs last time...he has wonderful sensitivity to art, sense, visual, copy ...everything... i use to rmb when our lec had to mark this ad for us, he jus look at it... if he likes it...he likes it! if he doesnt, theres nthg you can do to change his mind... and he's always right!!!

meetin with the radio operator rep was intersting. basically they presented to us a radio survey that they did la... which states which station, their target audience and how are they doin lo...and which segments are open for advertisers and all....

THENNNN...ada lagi...kita brain storm....brain storm byk byk...brain storm until brain oso no juice...continuos 2 campigns...2 sessions... O.O...loads of yelling n screaming,,,jus to de-stress... omg the cursings too...
wahahaha...

*grins*

balik rumah...and i K.O.ed..

First day was not too shabby. :)

Bro teman me tday... let me tail him to work... :)

reached phileo around 8...but edi no parking...had to walk far far far far far far far far far far far far far far far far far far far far far far far far far far far far far...
around 20 mins walk... haih...

Came in at around 9am, The office manager Ms C brought me to my seat and introduced me to L. I'm technically under the Ms C but I'm attached to L and J.

Due to the fact that the week had just started, and J is on leave today. What I did today was to look through the past documents and files of accounts, clients and campaign. I went through the job requisition, job revisions and finals. I've also look through the past advertisements and campaign in the recent few years.

L briefed me on what to do around 10am. We were rushing some amendments on some clients(basically went in and out of creative dept asking hem to edit this and edit that) and we had to rush to send it off to the press before lunch.

one thing about this advertising agency,
Y NOBODY GO EAT LUNCH WAN!?!?!
its like already 1 smthg 2 o clock but every one still busy wan wo...
luckily i gt bring bread..if nt seijor.....

After that Ms C came and introduced me as well as brought me around the place (acc , creative , finance , traffic, va, the library, the meeting rooms, the pantry, the "process room") oh...and the hidden toilets!!! I couldn't find the toilets. (how was i to know when the "gents" were labeled "heroes" and the "ladies" were labeled "heroin"??)
hohoho.... doors that aren't doors.. toilets with super heroes as labels...
interesting...

When i was back from the introduction, the print was ready and mounted, so I just photocopied them up. Then they brought a lot a lot of books and magazines and archives for me, and that was wat i did for the rest of my day.

bro was uber nice coz i had to work abit late...
he waited for me and drove me to my car coz he say dangerous for me to walk...
awww... :)

tday was fun...
