My Media Master Journey Part 2

Image
Hi guys! I'm back to talk about my media master journey. So, yeah I've been selected for the programme. My group of six, 4 made it to the final. This is kind of sad for me to talk about - so yeah excuse my sadness. So let me explain exactly what this programme is all about. Media Masters Management Trainee programme is a fast track programme where talents are trained to know the nitty gritty of marketing and advertising for 3 months. This includes trainings and job rotations.  Alright, so once I got it - during the first week it was literally classroom-based learnings. Trainers who have tons of experience in media planning taught us the stuff that we need to know. This includes programmatic marketing, performance marketing, digital 101, media strategy, euromonitor 101, tools 101, and excel 101. It was really a great opportunity for self-development. and you know me, I LOVE TO LEARN! But, the first week was crammed and jammed packed but it was truly the cream of t

My Media Master Journey Part 1

Image
My media masters journey has come to an end. And, I'm back to share my experience about how I became the chosen one, one of the 12 "lucky" people to have ever hold the title  "Media Master". 1. Applying for the job The job application was quite simple. The advertisement was featured on jobstreet but I applied on jobvite just because it seemed like a better chance for my resume to be considered.  I don't really remember like literally applying for the job and being so ohhh I want the job kind of thing. So yeah, one Friday afternoon, I got a call from them asking me what GroupM is about and etc - a quick chat on the phone and the girl, Shalini told me that I've been called for an interview. At that time, I'm like yay! And the email was very detailed in terms of what to expect during the session - this includes communication skills, pressure test, english, maths and etc. The email also gave a list of courses that we, the potential candi

WHAT HAPPENS AFTER GRADUATION?

Image
It takes three and a half years for us to complete our university degree. Some people take even longer, maybe four or five years! After those years wasted on a piece of meaningless paper that can be used as toilet paper as well, (you may agree to disagree!) Students nowadays are saddled by student loans and debts. 30k is the minimum range. I have always been a hardworking student. Education is an important component in my life. Remember when our parents (not mine, btw) used to warn us that if we do not study hard and achieve the best results, we'll end up collecting garbage on the street? Well, that's how I emphasise on my education. I was born in Singapore and Singapore's education system is one of the best in the world. Unfortunately, I was a stupid ass, never cared about my education & even was placed last/second last in class. But... when I moved to Malaysia, I keep my grades up.. didn't know if I became smarter or was just as stupid as I was before (p

MY RAMADHAN ACCIDENT

This Ramadhan is a historic moment for me as it is the very first time I am involved in a vehicle accident. Before this, I was a passenger while my husband rode the motorbike to go everywhere. That was 3 years and never once did we have any accidents. The date is 1st of June & it was on the 6th of Ramadhan. Hubby picked me up from work as usual. We were in the centre lane and out of the blue a car hit us from the left. The car wanted to switch lanes but didn't bother to look carefully before proceeding. Actually, I saw the car and I knew the car was going to hit us but I was too shocked to warn my hubby. It was so painful... My husband tercampak to the front and I rolled to the back. We were about 100 meters away from each other. The impact of the car injured most of my left part of the body. Luckily, we didn't sustain any major injuries from the accident. I don't know why I am feeling a little down, I am not sure if it is due to the accident. I guess I

WHY SURVIVOR IS MY FAVOURITE REALITY SHOW

Heyy guys. I am so swamped with life that I didn't sat down to write a blog post.  But now, I am finally making time to write something that I have been meaning to write in a while. SURVIVOR IS MY FAVOURITE REALITY SHOW!  "The veteran reality series hosted by Jeff Probst brings its 20 castaways to the Mamanuca Islands in Fiji for its 34th installment. This season's theme, "Game Changers," brings back castaways who helped evolve the game through their competitiveness and willingness to put it all on the line, who once  again vie to outwit, outplay and outlast one another. The returning players include two-time winner Sandra Diaz-Twine, and two contestants making their fourth attempt at a win. In the end, one castaway earns the title of Sole Survivor". As a kid, I have always loved to watch survivor, even now I still do watch it with my husband (who is also the fan of the show btw).  As a kid, I watch Survivor for the drama that it entales.  As an

HELP US TO GO TO MAKKAH

Image
Me sleeping at the airport in Dubai (transit) I have a dream. (read: lots of dreams, but I will talk about only one today) My dream may a small dream, but it is a dream nonetheless. In 2011, during my SPM years, I went for a family UMRAH (minor pilgrimage to Makkah & Madinah, the holy land. It was a wonderful experience. But I kind of ruined it by not being serious during the whole trip. By not being serious, I mean not making the most of my time there.  I really miss it there too much that it hurts. My heart fills with regret that I didn't do my best. Sometimes I get dreams that it's azan in my dream, that I see the kaabah in front of me, that I sleep at a hotel near the kaabah.  It feels like I want to cry now.  I am not the type to sit and wait. By sit & wait, I mean wait for something good to happen, wait for life to take its course, wait for life to smile upon me...  I am the type to stand up & get what I want.  Even if I

Movie Review: Split (2017)

Image
Every since I was a kid, I loved being a potato couch 😆I love lazing around & watching good old movies. I am sure everyone loves that too!! But lazing around, doesn't mean I stop thinking & enjoy the show. It actually stimulates my mind to think about deep, existential questions about humans, especially English movies! They make really good movies & there is always always a meaningful takeaway from the show.  So, last two days, I browsed through cyro.se and saw this interesting poster.  The synopsis of the movie titled Split are as follows:  Though Kevin (James McAvoy) has evidenced 23 personalities to his trusted psychiatrist, Dr. Fletcher (Betty Buckley), there remains one still submerged who is set to materialize and dominate all of the others. Compelled to abduct three teenage girls led by the willful, observant Casey, Kevin reaches a war for survival among all of those contained within him -- as well as everyone around him -- as the walls between h
