I'mma Coach Now!!

Ain't it cool? I've been coaching the girls from Sekolah Aminuddin Baki (SAB), cheerleading for their inter-house competition. Yes!! Syahbandar is a house team && this is only for sports day. But then again, you start from below right?!

Cheerleading has been a part of me since I just reached puberty. No it's not for the social pyramid && no it's definitely NOT for getting boys. Though of course, those are the PERKS that comes along with it ^^

Being a cheerleader means being a strong example. A girl that have an attitude that says it all. You can kiss my ass honey, but you ain't gonna tap that! Yes, we place a high amount of focus on COMMITMENT, DETERMINATION, TEAMWORK && DISCIPLINE! You may think that we're just girls in mini skirt being perky and all but you have the wrong idea.

While you go to the gym and lift weights, we lift girls. You jog for miles, We run, jump and chant at the same time. Cheerleading is a dangerous game. Definitely not for kids.

Hahaha, I got carried away. Okay, anyways, this coaching thing is a step one for me. Maybe I can coach other teams as well next time? Maybe not? We'll see how it goes ;)

This is my team, Anchorz :) See, told you we lift girls ^^

Ever yours, Xx

Clearly, Someone's Been Using The HERBAL.

March was one of a crazy month for me. I've been on the road almost the WHOLE MONTH. Jyeah, the cool thing about MYC!

This is what we had to do :-

Step 1 : Give them free makeover & hairstyle

Step 2: Recruit girls to join the competition

Step 3 : Get them to "LIKE" the Herbal Essences Malaysia & Singapore fan page as well as the MYC! fan page.

Step 4 : Sell them products with that is under the student promotion.

DAY 3 :

Food's so good in Penang, this is what 4 girls ate && it's only Appetizers.

Then we headed to a private beach to play :)

The place was beautiful, drinking by the beach was fun. && YES I DRINK!!

Internship = Great Experience.

Rights, for our 5th semester, we are required to undergo a 3 months internship with a company of your choice. So, I have chosen to intern at Seventeen Magazine @ BluInc. Sadly, there's been some complications of some sort thus, I ended up interning at MYC! @ Salient Information Sdn. Bhd.

I would have to say that I wasn't expecting much from my internship as I was pretty upset about not being placed at Seventeen. My first week was a blur in the office but as the days passed by, I grew to love MYC! I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Ellyse, the Deputy Editor && Kelvin, the Copywriter are amazing bosses and seniors. They've not only taught me a lot, they actually gave me opportunities to write things I never dreamed of writing as an Intern. I've always heard that Interns are mainly Coffee-girls, Copy-girl && Carry-girl. But NO! I was a FULL ON, Junior Copywriter for the Magazineeeeee :)

Among the opportunities that were given to me :-

1. I was given the chance to write a full page article that is going to be published, topic of my choice :O
2. I got to follow and accompany the models for their photoshoot and makeover.
3. I was given the chance to handle press-realeses, write ups.
4. I got to go for Food Review. (DELICIOUS, EXPENSIVE FOOD FOR FREE)
5. I got to write Book Reviews, Movie Reviews, Music Reviews. (We get to keep the books, the original CD's for free)
6. I interviewed A-listed socialites/celebrities such as Vanessa & Pamela Chong :)

I really got to learn a lot and I know that one day in the future, it will be of great help to me. Boss happens to call me "SUPER-INTERN" as I was the Intern that runs about keeping the energy of the company at top-notch, laughing, singing out loud, being the hyper me that I am. Also because I handle 3 different departments on my own. I mean, interns are often placed under ONE department but I have been doing Editorial, Admin/Book-keeping & Events all at one go. That's for bottling up all my energy && keeping me in the office =.="

Among the people I got really close to would definitely be both my Bosses, ELLYSE & KELVIN who are absolutely AMAZING. The artistic Graphic Designer who sits behind me ----> Amileen (Crazy KOREAN FANATIC), Adrina (Big Boss' PA, HOT & SEXY), Sonia (PR girl) && Liyana (Very happy & bubbly). The others are fun too. Just not so hyper :D


All in all, we're just one happy family && I'm more than happy to be placed here. MYC! will forever be my home :)

p/s: I miss you guys already :'(

Ever yours, Xx
