yeah, some chinese newspaper spelt it like that. ok, the building with the funny roof next to the curve?
that's CINELEISURE
it's actually a cathay cinema, but with added bells and whistles.
originally, as part of the MAKE MONEY initiative during my graduation campaign, the advertising peeps in my college decided to mass enter this student ad competition being hosted by said funny roofed building/ company.
out of all the entries, 5 were shortlisted. 3 of them from my batch, 1 of them being my team. woo hoo, this was followed by a presentation from all 5 finalists
fast foward to like 3 weeks later, and we have a press conference and the winners are revealed.
we were treated to a cut price presscon where SONY BMG were commemorating great sales, of the BIGGER album. a larger than life version of crazy frog came out to dance and present stuff. 6 feet tall with its head was the size of a volkwagen beetle.
thankfully there were no casualities, though it brought a smile in my evil heart when the frog nearly collapsed backwards due to the head being off balance.
and then there was the prize giving. they announced the consolation winners first, then the 3rd place winner, then the 2 finalists, which was my team and a team from IACT...
we got second place.
i like the bag :)
couldn't have done it without the great marketing mama lynda and the design deviljaemy. but WHYY LAA MUST THE CERT LOOK SO SEKOLAH RENDAH sob sob (i hope no one from cineleisure reads this or i am screwed muahaha)
it was the best of times, it was the best of times.
to all of you fellow la30ratorians, and a special shoutout to all commitee members, all our 3 years of college and our 6 months of hard work TOGETHER, has brought us to this event.
we have ARRIVED, and we're ready to infect everyone with CREATIVITIS!!!
and to lynda, president extrodinaire : i have learnt so much from your professionalism and flair for thinking and executing the BIG IDEA , and i have a great admiration for you spirit and confidence, and it has inspired me many times.
to jaemy, my fellow vice president : your creativity and wackiness made me realize how much insanity and humour helps you be free from constrictions when thinking and brainstorming.
THANKS YOU ALL AND HOPE WE ALL GET CHUN JOBS/ HAVE FUN STUDYING AFTER BEING UNLEASHED INTO THE INDUSTRY
yummeh cake, lotsa meat, some alcohol, then chinese tea. and a looong discussion about funerals and ghost visions after midnight. i remember for some reason also alyson looked dirasuk in one of the pics...
another in the series of lapuk posts muahaha, i spent a lovely weekend in the company of fellow crazy friends from choir in Port Dickson.
there were like 10 of us all staying together in a 3 bedroom apartment. and the interesting bit about this trip is that it's the most cooking i have ever done on holiday. the first thing we did on the way tehre was load all the food stuff into the cars, then after that, it was carrying all the food up, then after that it was preparing the food, a group effort consisting of ikan bilis cleaners, ginko nut peelers, and quail egg shellers.
it was a lot of fun tho wahahaha, there were all the essentials in the inventory we packed that it felt like we were opening a restaurant. i bow down to denise for coordinating the feeding effort. we had like porridge, indon mee, steamboat, curry chicken, western breakfast, cucur udang, konyaku jelly, ginko barli tong sui, asam fish, fried rice, plus various tid bits and a purple tide of ribena. hehe
and surprisingly, the beach was clean! the water was still brownish tho, but swimmable. there was an episode when we started singing and doing fake synchronized swimming choreography in the hotel pool. and it was a busy labour day weekend.
i must say, it was a pretty effective way to get the pool to ourselves. it's either that or we're the only funny people who still wanna stay out in the hot hot afternon sun. i had the severe sunburn to show for it hehehe, felt like a cooked lobster for a few weeks after that.
we had a round on the banana boat, which was being run by kids circa around the age of 15........below. we thought they were just manning the boat for the brother/father, but turned out they were driving the boats too. imagine the wind whipping thru your hair, the banana boat skipping from wave to wave, and a small kid steering the speedboat towing you. made me glad of my lifejacket.
but it was fun. if your idea of fun is tempting death.
these were all from my back/front yard. not at the same time tho :P
well, time does fly and this blog is about 2 years old already.
actually time really did fly in the case of this blog cos the number of posts between the last anniversary and this one was pathetic.
*pause for reflection
...
at least now with college out of the way, i'm taking advantage of a relatively more flexible schedule, and as you can see a overhaul of the blog.
which can also mean i'm substituting my sleepness nights rushing assignments to sleepless nights doing up my blog. the only difference is that i can stop anytime i like.
so said the alcoholic in denial.
but anyway, now is the time to GET THINGS DONE, aka: every other thing that needs to be done other than "real" work, which is organize the threatening jungle of stuff in the study room, landing, bedroom, and laundry room.
i seem to accumulate mess like a snowball accumulates layers of packed snow as it tumbles down the side of a mountain.
time to get started before we lose anymore innocent sherpas.
i haven't posted in like...3 months. that's like lightyears in terms of the amount of crazy fun shit that's been happening.
