3 years is short, but the memories made will last forever...

3 years....which is 1095 days....it may look/sound like a long long time, but when you think back, it just flashed by in a wink of an eye.

Yup, 3 years...that's my duration of service in my first company..BiO-LiFE Marketing Sdn Bhd.
It may not seem like a hugeass company, but i've learnt a whole lot of things from the people there.
and i daresay, when you're working with people like them, you're working with your family.

When i first reported myself 3 years back, i didn't know anything. Really, i was this naive little girl venturing into the wilderness, not knowing what's ahead of me. I told myself, ' ok, just do your part, not get into any politics and you'll be a happy person'...

true enough, politics never really happened in that company. obviously there'll be bumps here and there when you work (deadline, deadline and more deadlines!!! -- hey, that's designers' life!)
but with ever helpful seniors, colleagues and bosses, the final outcome is always well, if not excellent!

So here i express my thanks to my wonderful colleagues / family in Bio-LiFE Marketing Sdn Bhd.
(oh boy, this will be ONE LONG BLOG ENTRY......*wipes sweat* -- also, please excuse 'POWDERFUL TOKGONG GRAMMAR USED'..lol)

First of all,

- you're the person i thank the most, you have guided me through thick and thin, taught me how the working world revolves and also you've sharpen my understanding in how to create designs that could give impact.
I truly appreciate your guidance in these 3 years and i really really thank you from the bottom of my heart.
I also apologize for any wrongdoings and crappy attitude that surfaced.

Felicia
- you're awesomesauce CAN? my wonderful and ever helpful senior. I really shudder to think what would life be without you to light my way. Other than Kenix, you're the one to hold my hand whenever i'm in doubt. I really really thank god for letting me meet such a kind person like you. You help me EVERYTIME without complaining and i really really appreciate EVERYTHING that you've taught me. And life in the pantry is so much duller without you around...LOL!!!
you're the BESTEST BEST FISH around..!! XD XD

Tiffany
- YO BUDDY!!!! from the 'lansi' classrep, to collegemates, to bestfriends, to roomates and finally colleagues.....if anyone didn't know, i think they would've thought we're married to each other...hahahaha....
anyway, thank you so so much for being there for me during thick and thin....Life became more colorful with you around..XD
Don't forget about little me when you drive on the road with your HUGEASS CRUISER ya? please do not honk at my little MYVI if i drive like 'lau ah ma' ok? hahahahh...

Zaleha
- Thank you so much for all the guidance. You and Felicia were the ones who helped me like, so blardy much when i first started out at BL. Without seniors like you, i'd be dead...really, i don't think i could last 1 month there...hahaha..
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!

You guys are superstars..!!! XD

There are still so many other people whom i wanna express my thanks but if i put everything in here, it'll be longer than my SPM 1119 essay.....hahahah...
So, here, i express my eternal gratitude and thanks, and also apologize (kaotao version) for any wrongdoings that i've done in my 3 years there.

Do not get me wrong, this is not Goodbye, for we're forever friends and buddies. It's merely another step in life in which everyone will go through. (so you all dun omit me out for any outings aaaa......FaceBook is a scary network aaa..i know wan aaaa...hahahha)

Energizer Night Race 2011 - Disaster in the making

Energizer Night Race 2011.....a race/run that went down in history as one of the WORST EVER run. I'll just break it into points because i believe there are already more than enough blogs out there that are ranting about this race..(come on, 10120 runners participated in this event, an event which all thought would be enjoyable, but turns out to be a disaster...)

So, there were Boycott pages and Hate fanpages all over facebook. Media coverages were all over (theStar papers, The Malay Mail).

Why is it so bad? well...here's why...:-

1) When we reached the venue, we were ushered to a parking area whereby there were wannabe parking jockeys collecting not RM2, not RM5 but an outrageous amount of RM10 for a parking (in which, i read online that someone's car got broken into and had his Blackberry stolen). If i were to pay RM10 for that measly parking, i might as well throw the money into the sea.....
Also, what pissed me off was that when i reached, there's this bunch of CHI KO PEK that parked next to me...when the CHI KO PEK got down his car, he opened the car door so hard, that it hit my car....and DAMN, not a word of apology..!!!!!!
Fucking CHI KO PEK, i hope you have your car scratched beyond repair. And let that scratched car be the last car you'll be able to buy in your entire lifetime. ASSHOLE....

2) HELLO?? where are the signs?!?!?
we were walking around not knowing where to head.....as usual it's the follow-the-crowd mentality because there were little to no signs around to guide us....

3) TUNNEL OF DOOM!!!!
*inserts horror bgm*
we were walking around aimlessly, not knowing where to go, and finally we saw a huge group of people trying to squeeze into this puny door and OH, whadaya know.....there's a sign that says 'ENERGIZER NIGHT RACE *points arrow at the door*'
=_____=
10 000 people had to go through that puny badly ventilated tunnel (it's like the Nazi's Poison Tunnel) to get to the venue.....i'm like WTF?!?!
if 10 or more people were to release 'killer biological gas' that time, i believe people would've died...no seriously....the ventilation was so bad, i was surprised no one fainted.
and guess what, all 10 000 runners will have to go through the tunnel to exit too....
(but, me and my friends didn't go through the tunnel, instead, we climbed the wall thingy on to the seating area.....)
Thus, the tunnel is now known as 'THE TUNNEL OF DOOM'.

4) Water StationSSSSSssss (note : multiple 'S' are intended)
11km runners....it's amazing no one died because of dehydration.....i mean, come on....there should be more than 1 pathethic water station for 11km and above runners.....
and who in their right mind would give out 1.5 liter bottles of mineral water & can drinks during runs?!?!?!?!? HELLOO??? does common sense ring any bell to you guys?????
It's usually my routine to NOT 'visit' the 1st water station, but it's mandatory that i get at least a sip of water in the 2nd water station....
SO, as i passed the 1st water station, i figured,'oh well, there should be another one 1 or 2 km ahead'...
i ran and ran and RAN AND RAN...but the tents were no where to be seen, and in the end i had to run another lap to reach the pathethic water station (which was situated almost at the end of the track)
yes, i daresay..i almost died.....i was already saying my 'goodbyes' in my mind......

5) Screaming crazy MC/Director
as an MC/Director/Head/Leader of a certain organisation/team, you DO NOT scream at your customers/attendees.....come on, who's at the worse point...??
(a) runners who are tired, thirsty, sweaty (and no water booths to be seen at the finishing line)
(b) MC standing there doing nothing......
Duh, you're frustrated, but we, the runners are even more frustrated...
we come into this run, as serious runners.......not for what you label as 'A FUN RUN'....
you think running 42km is fun?????? it takes a whole lot of motivation, courage and determination to be able to complete that distance...and you label the race as FUN!?!?
come on JOSIE, you should've known better before you took up this job and organised an event this big of a scale......
and as the icing on the cake, you SCREAMED at the runners through the mic and called us HOOLIGANS...??????
helllloooo????? if we're hooligans, you'd be sitting next to your God by now, because you'd be DEAD......

5) NO GOODY BAGS
err..duh? you promised us goody bags, and we didn't get them....nuff said......
mail, post, ship, teleport, send a stork for all i care...where is my goody bag?
EXPOSE << organiser's company name ---- well, you pretty much SCAMMED us....

6) HEADLAMPS disaster
WOHOOooo....Free for all headlamps...unlike last year, this time the headlamps were free for all. You grab as many as you like and walk off, and no one is there to stop you..
When we got to the headlamp collection area (after the tunnel of DOOM), there was a dark area at the corner of the walkway whereby everyone were zombie-fying the headlamps. So, our group decided to split up and tried to grab the headlamps. No crew/staffs were there to tell us how to operate the headlamps and everyone who took the headlamps didn't know that to switch on the lamps, you first have to pull out that thin piece of transparent paper. After we found out about that, all 5 of us grabbed 5 headlamps each because we thought of taking for each other...turns out that EVERYONE grabbed 5 headlamps each, thinking of the same thing...we ended up with almost 25 headlamps and being civilized, one of my friends braved through the zombie-fying group of runners, and returned the extra headlamps we had..

SO in the end, we only took 1 each ^^ *smiles*

7) Calling in the police
err....we're runners, who are tired, who were promised of something that we were never given, in this case...the goody bags...
DUH, when you closed the shutters on us, obviously you'll be adding oil to the fumes..!! and when crowd control gets out of hand, you called the police on us???
EXPOSE, JOSIE, ENERGIZER.....where the hell is your common sense?!?!?
oh wait, if you had any of those, you wouldn't have had only 43 people to 10 000 runners in the first place.....

HMm.....did i miss out anything?
well, it seems that after all the uproar and hate fanpages up on Facebook, Energizer decided to REFUND EACH AND EVERY PARTICIPANT OF THE RACE the full amount of the registration fees.
well, more news will be out on Friday, and EXPOSE said that they will mail out the goody bags to ALL the participants. (more news out on Thursday 6pm, according to EXPOSE)
so, let's see how they perform their damage control.
