unplugged

and let my angry lose. lize is going to rant. for those that heard the rant personally, do avoid. coz its going to be a repeat record. lol.

wow... i really need to let the trick in shrinking post. by far the longest rant in my blog.

---

okay, let start off from the start. woke up 630 in the morning and depart at 7am with loon and kitty. arrive 7 sth together with susan and waited until 8 sth for the bus. im not angry yet LOL.

arrive in 1U and anjie drove us to the destine location which i know shit where it is. so yea, hand around until michelle arrive and we registered. useless purposeless sticker... so we waited for another while to enter the cooling hall where all the shit starts.

the introduction was nice, everyone was so happy and optimistic of wats to come. the mc went over and talk to us while we waited for our turn. his awesome though he smell of tobacco. gave us a pointer of the weakness in our idea and teach us sth valuable. so we were pretty happy seeing we are going to earn what we paid for after all.

but no. after we drool over the long wait of our turn to consult the CD... it turn out... like... 15minute? i felt it the moment the consultation ended... its a bit too fast when to comes to us. why? idea not good? but pushing us to think more, im greatful.

so we went another round of brainstorming, finally done around 12pm. we look around the other CDs. they were givin guidance and writing charts and plans for students to see... and what did our CD do? smoke outside. the other CDs are like going round and round nonstop to help ppl improve their idea...

the other table that was under HIM went out to consult him. while he was smoking. i felt like... biased? i dun know... this guy is not taking this seriously and i feel very con. we were discussing how regretful we pick him to work under. should have taken the ah mo lang (foreigner).

1. Note to self permanently : ALWYAS TAKE THE AH MO LANG command michelle.

2. Note to self again : dun let cool bio-data trick you. take the cooperate looking one next time.

3. Note to self lastly : foreign looking picture is a fraud, check surname pls.

if there's a next time that is. i wont even bother anyway. so yea the unhappiness starts. after the horrible session of starving and boring us to death, they finally announce that lunch is ready for consumption. geez. just went we found salvation of a small cafe beside that sells cheap junk food.

thanks michelle and susan for temporary saving us.

so i went to lunch. thinking there bound to be sth good at least for rm70. no. there wasnt. it was packed rice with bits of curry and chicken, 4 broccolis, and 2 piece of cake. well at least the cake was nice. i forgot to get the recipe. the rice was dry so was the curry. and i get rm1 bottle of mineral... at least prepare la orange juice or sth... and it was the first time i ate sth and im not full... tsh unsatisfied.

after lunch we went back to wait again. he came to us again. we presented the idea. and he took most of them. asked if we're participated in Kancil awards. no. he said he saw similar idea. coincident? lets continue and u'll find out.

so our idea finally got pass and it was 2pm. left 30minute to complete sketching until the deadline. great. it was really fun rushing and drawing with the mc keep on saying how much time we have life. the panicking was fun. yay ended. go out to slack while they all gathered our work and judge for the finalist.

we waited around an hour or so for the judging to finish. sat outside the door like refugee. when they finish judging and let us in, we notice one of our sketch is missing. so our hope got pulled up. we took our "name-labeled" chair and sat to the front for announcement. full of hope and caravagistic light. finalist 1, none, finalist 5, shit none, finalist 7, there goes la. by the time i heard most of hussin's group got it i know we dont stand a chance.

and also. when we heard some of the names of the idea being selected. we knew. those were our 1 hour before deadline idea. as expected. it was all the same. 2 to 3 ouf of 9 finalist bullseye on our idea. crap shit? oh u haven read enough.

ad on truck with caged up kids, ad on super market trolly, ad like kids being sold on shelf, display like kids behind cage. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA u know wats the best part? the idea was a improve version of the participants' kancil award ad.

i do admit ours are not refine, but think about it? the brief said they dun aim for complete execution but the ideas. so u have to give credit to us havin to think those award-wining ideas out in 1 hour and totally not know that we collided with the existing ones right? all thanks to that shit, we could hv won and be happy that we didnt wasted our money. we're poor okay? not like ToA of limkongweng...

so yea, one thing we are sure. we hv the same potential. just that it wasnt our time to shine i guess. god's will. an excuse that i use when life is shit. its all god's will. my relative thought me well.

we totally ran out of mood after the announcement. but i approve of winner no1 and winner no2A (there were 2 ground that got 2nd place). their ideas were good, still a but loop hole here and there but good. some were shitload and pointless besides transferring traffic to the website.

and in the end they show us some matrix video to brainwashed us to clean up their rubbish. creative but labish!! and pointless and im not happy.

so we went back into the hall to take group picture, receive our rm70 certificate. i feel so rasuah-ed. this cert is not making me one bit happy at all. and i dun want ur name card but u just hand it out to me, so ill just hv to take it as formality now do i? tsh, thank me i just save ur face and not review ur slacking to janet.

but another thing that susan mention was right, recognition. he was giving out the envelop by saying the name, and when he mention half of susan's name. he automatically pass it to us. which means, he remember us coz we had the same award-wining idea? and well, kitty mention too, his ganna be all guilty inside the we could have won... if you could hv shitting put more semangat into this event.

if his not, ill curse u to death from smoking too much. know why? when we left the place, he was smoking AGAIN. so, for more info pls visit his facebook and comment as u like on how this man "dedicated" his "busy" days to "teach" a thing or two to potential designers.

i dun blame the event for being bad cept for the price & food, i dun blame the ppl for havin great ideas similar to us, as the saying goes, great mind think alike (like yes only). i only blame HIM for ruining the day and wasted our precious brainstorming juice.

grr. i still want the kickass mc person. he can be so much better than HIM. why cant they switch role and we'll be all happy jolly.

=will review name of HIM upon request=
