Internship Experience: Last 2 Days & End

Internship Experience: Last 2 Days & End – Finally, ten weeks of internship at the interior design studio in Kelana Jaya has finally comes to an end. It started with a bit of hard time on me because I was so not familiar with real world interior design practice, later it gets comfortable with the colleague and work. After all, I did enjoy my time at there, met peoples, learned stuff.

Last two days was pretty comfortable and exciting because it’s coming to an end, and a bit of not-willingness as to say bye bye to the new friend I’ve met. Nevertheless, it was fun one, with good food, good laughter, nice work, and nice site visit to a huge house with awesome scenery.

=)

Thank you for the guidance, allowance and knowledge and we will meet again in faith, my fellow colleagues. Let’s get back to school now.

See ya, and bye bye.

Internship Experience: I Feel Workday Blues

Internship Experience: I Feel Workday Blues – One week of internship at the interior design studio has passed, so how was it? It’s not as fun as I’ve expected. It’s more workload than I’ve expected and the office environment is not what I imagined. Haha?

No, not from the view of my office, how I wish it is. – Kuala Lumpur.

‘Come on, it’s just an internship training’, I told myself. I am now experiencing the job of a full-time designer at the company, guess that’s the point of practical training is, right? Haha. Now only I realised that it’s not easy to work in this industry, there’s no fix 9-5 working hours, it’s always O.T. most of the time, like today, I just got home like an hour ago only. Deadlines, and hardworking colleagues, that makes up the over time.

Colleagues and bosses are friendly at the studio, but there’s not much of spoon-feeding already, like teaching me what’s what, maybe it should be so, and they became a living dictionary that I can just ask anything I want to learn. Working in a designing firm is not what I thought as it is, I thought of working in team, I thought of less detailed drawing, more on 3D and conceptual design, turned out it’s detailed drawings all the time with minimal of 3D drawing. But hey, at least I know these detailed drawings can cost over tenth of thousands!

The workplace environment.

It’s kind of a mix or neutral feeling at work now, not overly enjoy, nor dislike it, I’ll take it as a place to train myself, learn and gain the knowledge and experience. 2 months only, let’s do it and enjoy it. But somehow, I still feel workday blues. Maybe I should find a fun point at work, which is…?

Anyway, good night and happy working to you. Things to do tomorrow: Find a fun point.

Photos Taken By Lumix LX5 At Panasonic Camera Booth

This is a actually a post filled with quite some random photos taken from the Panasonic Lumix LX5 at the Panasonic Camera Booth at Queensbay Mall which was basically where the play I was working temporary for the past 3 days. It’s a little Panasonic’s camera fair with a little booth there promoting Panasonic’s product.

I was so bored with the camera as I felt the only thing I could do was shoot. There’s no GF2 for me to play, or even GF1, I tried all the compact camera and the best is still the Lumix LX5. =D

I found one TZ20 which has super zoom and GPS but still not tempting cause there’s no F2.0 aperture, same goes to the super zoom semi pro FZ40 or FZ100. I only like 2 cameras by Panasonic and that’s LX5 and GF2. No more.

No choice that I have to promote every product and played with every of it. Spending time at there to take random photos was how I passed my time. It got boring some times when there’s no people come and check out the booth.

Saturday was a busy day for me and I hope that later today can be nice. =D

Cameras are pretty cheap here with Panasonic Lumix LX5 selling at RM1550 which is about RM50 cheaper than what I bought back in KL last time. Cheapest model entry level camera starting at RM399 with further discount and free gift. It’s quite a good deal, serious.

However, standing at there promoting was not a good job as I stand whole day, with perhaps sit for like less than 5 minutes in between and only sit during the break. HAHA. I have a pair of powerful legs now.

Anyway, if you happen to read this blog, come drop by at Queensbay Mall, in front of McDonald’s to say hi or check out some camera. Cheer! =)

More About My Previous Part-Time for DiGi at Queensbay Mall

I am going to talk about my recent part-time job at Queensbay Mall few weeks back again. I know working part-time is very normal and common thing, but I am a little bit crazy, took photos and like talking very big about my job. Actually it’s just for a little memories of mine, at least I did go to work during this long 3-4 months holidays. There will be a part-time for me again this weekend, not at Queensbay Mall but at Gurney Plaza.

My job was promoter and assistant event organizer, I was not dealer, people can’t sign line through me, I only promote and bring them to the dealer. So basically my job was standing and giving out flyers and taking care of the customer service counter. Very interesting thing is that Maxis, the rival’s booth was not far away.

On these 3 days of work, I met many friends, and also made new friends at work. To be honest, time passes very slow but yet, it’s already passed. =) Money money come.

Lunch break and dinner break was always the 3 same place, Ultimaxx Cafe, Chopper Board and Breeks Cafe. RM4-7 per meal. There’s a rule that I can’t go for break in pairs, but luckily for the 3 days, I found friends at the mall to eat together with.

Working there burns calories because I stand a lot, standing, standing and keep standing, for more than 9 hours. Morning till night. Not that bad afterall, at night still got Chinese oldies played from speaker of central zone as part of Chinese New Year celebration.

Very fast, 3 days passed and it’s fun.

Last day working, after work, I took photos before going home. Yay. Thanks for everyone who came by to visit and support DiGi.

And for the 3 nights while we were going home, we always stuck in the jam for like 5-10 minutes. It’s the car of all who works at Queensbay Mall, not shoppers. Wow.

One tip for working at Queensbay Mall, parking at the open site car park is only RM1.50 as per entry.
