Haven't been blogging these days due to my recent busy schedule of compiling my portfolio, designing my new name card design and letterhead that goes with it, currently working on my new website design, and ultimately, preparing for my first job interview, which was on Thursday, March 23rd last week.

The first thing that I had to do was to call the company as listed in the ad, saying I want to apply for the job position. This is to make sure I'm dealing with the right company. Then, they'll ask you to send your resume and coverletter (in most cases), and other things such as your portfolio, depending on what kind of job you're applying for by email.

Once I've done that, I waited for a call. Give them at least 4 days to reply, because they have to deal with numerous applicant resumes and documents. If you still haven't got a reply, just ring them up, see if they've received your email. In my case, I had to call them, and true enough, they have not seen my email and will call back. This shows how busy they are. Two hours later, I got a call from them, asking if I could come for an interview.

Wow, my first interview. So, I agreed.

I compiled all my documents, then I was off! My interview location was in Mid Valley, one of the NorthPoint offices. Pretty far, eh? But I went anyway, and its not a comfortable ride. One thing I've learned is that travelling there consumes a lot of my time. From the Wangsa Maju LRT station to Bangsar takes about 30 minutes tops. Then I had to wait for the free shuttle service to Mid Valley, again takes about at least 5 minutes. Once aboard the bus, another 15 minutes to fill it up with passengers. Guess its the perfect time for the driver to take a leak too.

Taking the bus to Mid Valley took about at least 2 minutes, which was better than I had expected. Upon reaching there, I looked at my watch. 1.15pm. Still darn early, for my appointment is around 3pm. So I loitered around till then.

At the appointed time, I've arrived at the office. I had to fill in some forms regarding my details and particulars. Then I hand in my photostated documents, and just wait till the interviewer call me in. I'm not going into details of my conversation with him, it's confidential. Haha. But I guess you just have to go with the flow.

And that's it! He thanked me for coming, and will let me know if I get the job or not. Pretty easy :) After that, I spent the next hour rewarding myself with some Burger King, then went home. So, if you're ever going to an interview, just think of the person as friend and more importantly, be yourself! Just remember to be polite and friendly.

And yeah, I got the job.

(Total journey time= 55 minutes)

It's my final TVC group project!! Check it out! :)

As I have promised, the pictures!

Go to: http://www.modi5xbrand.blogspot.com/
I posted them there, as I am the one responsible for updating the blog..

With the exhibition now over, I have officially, and completely finished my diploma studies. I can start looking for a job. :)
However, my parents urged me to further my studies to a degree. Which is, not a bad idea "lar", since the industry prefers those with a degree cert... Haiz...

I hope that I'll be able to find a job soon, preferably freelance or part time. I'm fluent in Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, and Macromedia Flash. I do graphic design jobs involving promotion items, ads, stationery set, and web design. Any available jobs, email me, yeah? At cyber_egyj88@hotmail.com

Thx!

After 6 hard long promoting days...and it's done! Modi5x exhibition came across smoothly...over 60 ModiBlocks were showcased. Friday, March 27 was THE big event, because we have invited 988 New Happy Cruiser to entertain us with some games and gifts!

I don't have the pictures now, but once I've got them, I'll upload it right away!

Again, I ignored my blog. Really thought of continuing my journal, but sometimes, a little laziness kicks in. :P

Well, today is an interesting day because I learned 2 things:
1) Route to Central Market
2) Performing arts isn't as ridiculous as I thought!

For those who don't know, take the LRT to Pasar Seni, then look for the "blue building", and walk straight towards it. Don't forget to zig zag across the bustling traffic of cars, motorcycles, and busses, cause you have to. :)

Enough about routes. I went there, with a couple of my good friends to visit 2 of our classmates' exhibition, Shan Fun and Numberism.

Shan Fun
I was greeted with ancient tribal elements from the Australian aborigine tribe. The aborigines like to use masks as a tool to scare off evil spirits, I think, and the masks were used as the main theme of the enviroment. My classmates organising this were given a stroke of luck, they invited a Japanese guy to play traditional Japanese music using traditional Japanese instruments. I say lucky, because he really makes the whole exhibition feel alive, traditionally of course. Oh yea, met my old church friend there, whom I've not seen for a very long time.

Numberism
We proceed to this exhibition, which has Numb3rs as its theme. Not the TV show, ya. Just numbers. I had a little hard time understanding, till I see some pictures like elevator buttons, ic, street signs, things like that...without numbers on it. Oh, now I get it. Its the revenge of numbers, as stated in the description! Haha... -_-"'

Ah, now here's a little something I did not expect to find, a musical! Performing arts graduates from Sunway University having a play, right on top of Numberism exhibition! Quite a number of "guai lou"(foreign) performers, I heard they're from Australia. Shh! Turn to silent mode, the fat lady is about to sing..... Indeed, there was a fat girl :P
Sorry, didn't mean to critisize.

And they are good, REALLY GOOD! Listen to them sing! Its like asking someone to sing to the microphone, where there isn't any!! Wow....no wonder Aaron ventured into this field. Its too darn lively! Loved it :)

Just too bad I didn't have my camera with me. Anyway, its a day!

Why dead? It's the word that describes my blog, in which I haven't been updating for a very long time. One friend even told me, " Your blog is so dead, please update it lar." Wow, you know, I thought no one reads my blog.....maybe its because its so rare to get comments from people that gave me that thought. Lol...

Let's see, where to begin? Ah yes, CNY....
Went back to Malacca for the festive season, had a blast of CounterStrike and Karaoke (yes, I sang for the first time in front of people, and had a hilarious time), red packets ahoy, and enjoying family moments, big time!

Then, a few days ago, I had my last individual presentation. It was not until the BIG GUNS of Dasein came to criticize my artworks. The repeating and expected downfall feeling came a second later after each critique. Oooi...

But I'm not disappointed, at least I've learned something from their cruel remarks. Now, I can become a better designer for the future... :)

Who knows what the future holds for me.... Or for you.

But I know one thing for certain....



I should get a Mac. :P

This day has to be a marked day in my life's journal. After 2 years since it was released, I FOUND IT!! The very rare, Same Same album.

It is rare because it was released mostly in SouthEast Asian countries in 2006 such as Thailand, Philipines, Indonesia, and Malaysia. Most of us Malaysians never really known them because they were never mentioned in our broadcasting medias.

Now, who are these 2 people that I'm talking about?
Does the name "The Moffatts" ring any bells? If you were a fan of theirs in the late 90's, you'd probably would know who Bob and Clint is. Yup, they're the band. They're identical twins, so the name Same Same fits their description quite literally.

Do check out their Supermodel music video, and you'll see why am I talking about them:

Their song "Without You" featuring our very own, Jaclyn Victor:

My brother and I have been hunting for their album ever since we heard about it early last year.
From Mid Valley, to Jaya Jusco.....pain in the ass, this album. And finally today, by luck, we've found it. Where?

........at Carrefour Wangsa Maju. SHIT!!! @#!*!!
