Me working at Leo Burnett Malaysia as an intern thanks to a good friend Riz :D Let me take you through to my first walk into the company and the impression that i get...
@----}---------------
Getting there
SHIT it's 7.30 am and i still haven't leave the house yet :\ die loh first day of work so-called wanna make a good impression la rite? nooOooooo i had to baring baring some more after hsin gave me morning call $#*&*#^% aiya.. never mind la a tiny lil bit behind schedule only.. relak aaa.. USJ traffic clear - DAMN HAPPY! continue driving ..... *whistles* ...Fly Guy on the radio cracking his usual non-sensical-yet-funny joke... *emergency break* I'M DEAD. The Federal Highway jam starts from SS19. MIAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa +_+ 830 only i hop onto the train. Ah well.. there's nothing much i can do from there so chill ^_^ Guess what? It took only around half an hour's ride to Masjid Jamek.. yAy! Then the MOMENT of truth.... how well is jen's sense of direction? or rather jen's instinct ler since i never really venture near this part of the city before :D So there i was looking like i know my stuff (when in fact i don't :P) .. decided to play it safe and ask for direction but instead what do i get? A confused self O_0 All the answer that i was given sounds like this, "Ya ya Menara Olympia is somewhere here, but i dunno exactly where." . . . . . Finally i had to ask the police officer and wah lah! i was only 10 minutes late hehehhe *fuHh*
Finally there
The front door way is through the escalator and straight into the reception area of Leo Burnett (kinda like going into shopping mall hahaha). You know the feelings that u get the moment u step into one of the Ikea showroom? The warm cozy atmosphere with wooden furnishing and soft orange lights? It's EXACTLY like that. That and the legendary red apples to greet me :D do read the story.... interesting. So anyway... next to the reception area is the lounge area... where they serve breakfast every morning at no extra charge! Ya MAN... which means i don't have to wake up super early just to eat breakfast hua hua hua :P SO basically the rest of the office just doesn't look like any other offices where they have bright white lighting and cubicles in cramped space (like the ones in KDU staff room) that my lecturer used to say - makes her feel like a lab rat. Oh ya.. Yasmin Ahmad's office is da boMb! it's like an elevated room from the office floor abit with a great city view and ..basically it's not just a square box la. Oh ya.. the lounging are punya sofas are also as soft as those u plop onto Ikea showroom :D mann... speaking of Yasmin Ahmad, i have yet to tembung with Jason Sepet.. err.. Ng Cheng Seong or something...oh man i forgotten his name :/
Work, woRk, work
NOT! First day was really... fascinating (to put it mildly) . i thought i was late arriving past 9... the rest of the staff in the department i am assigned to didn't come in until... 11? uh huh.. i was walking arounD the place looking for newspaper and whatnot until somebody comes in at 10 something. and that was ONEbody only... the department only started to fill around 11 *shocking* Apparently there's no strict rule from the department's boss as long as the job gets done :O GroOVy BabY hahahaha i swear... even the manager came like close to lunch time LOLz HAPPENING!! which means there's no use of me coming in sharp at 9 either since nobody's gonna be around until a lil later :P hua hua hua i'm already lovin' it lots :D
Dress Code
THank god i didn't buy extra office wear because most of the staff here wear jeans to work ... and i felT overdressed pulak with my long sleeved collared shirt and black skirt (don't forget i wore proper shoes too!) WaiT.. i think i just saw a lady wearing 3 quarter pants and baby-T :/ wonder if she's a staff here too?
What else ah?? hMMmmm... basically everything is so fascinating and lovely so far... people here are friendly and funnY! ahh.....there'll be a christmas party next week (YIPPEE YAY YAY) i think i should be invited la hor? *ponders* nevermind.. self-invite HAHHAHAHA
