Just for laughs :)

A career as a PR?

There should always be a backup plan in case the one going on right now fails. I’ve been giving that some thoughts and I asked myself, why not? If I didn’t make it through medical school, at least there’s something else that I might have interest in.
I was forced to become the PR for the IMU Cares Charity Taekwondo Championship held in August. It wasn't too bad. Didn't mean I did a good job per se but still it was ok for a beginner. I had my first article published in the Malaysian Today, the 16-18Sept. edition of the paper. It sounded badly written as it was edited by someone. The whole flow was almost lost. Didn’t sound like me but anyway, these things do happen. They have to edit it so that it sounds more appropriate.
So what’s actually Public Relations? Public relations encompasses a variety of marketing tactics that strengthen your credibility, enhance your image, develop goodwill or influence public opinion. These tactics, such as speeches, special events, newsletters, annual reports and news releases, are targeted to an audience. P.R. involves communicating who you are, what you do, and how you benefit your customers and the community.
People often confuse PR with publicity. Publicity is actually part of PR. Other components of PR include organizing events to draw more attention towards the company, prepare annual reports, fact sheets etc., make charitable contributions. Basically, it covers a lot of things, but it all draws down to making the company of organization you’re working at more well know by the public or even just the targeted population.
PR as a career? Why not? Sounds intersting.

Monash University Convo

I wonder how our IMU convo would be like.... heard it'll be in March next year. Christine(oops, his real name is Chris, but we always call him Christine ;P )... the ultra-nice guy, with a huge sense of humour.
The hotel lobby of Sunway Resort Hotel.Cool interior deco!Lots of designer stuff to look out for.

Designer Chair

The Ball Chair/Sphere Chair

The USD1570 designer chair.
There's 2 in the Sunway Lagoon Resort Hotel Lobby. Go n check it out.

It's actually very comfortable ;)

History of the Ball Chair:

By using one of the most simple geometric forms - the ball - cutting of a part and fixing it at one point Eero Aarnio(The designer) comes to a remarkable result - a completely unconventional shaped chair: a "room within a room" with a cozy and calm atmosphere, protecting outside noises and giving a private space for relaxing or having a phone call. Turning around its own axis on the base the view to the outer space is variable for the user and thus he is not completely excluded from world outside.

It was the creation of one of the most remarkable chairs in the furniture history of the 20th century. This first hand made piece is still standing in Eero's house. It was this first Ball Chair two young managers from the company Asko discovered when visiting Eero to see some pine wood designs. They were immediately impressed and convinced of the phenomenal design. It took a few years to get the chair into production. 1966 the Ball Chair was presented at the international furniture fair in Cologne. It was the sensation of the fair, the international breakthrough for Eero Aarnio and the start for a whole line of fibreglass designs by Aarnio- including the clear acrylic bubble chair in 1968.

Cause of Death: Decompression Sickness/ Diver's Bend



*This post is dedicated to T, a diving enthusiast*

My feelings for you seeped quietly into my blood as I dived deeper. Last night, the accumulated amount exceeded of what my body could handle. I’ve dived too deep and too long. My oxygen’s running low. I need to resurface. But everything happened too quickly and too sudden. All the feelings that I have for you came bubbling out. I felt a moment of confusion and disorientation. You were oblivious of my condition. You went on, captivated by the spectacular view of the underwater world. I died of diver’s bend.

Certified Time of Death: 10.36pm, 10 September 2005.

Obituary

Pathetic_ Cat
Age: 22 years
Passed away peacefully on 10th September 2005.

Leaving behind a wardrobe full of clothes, shoes, bags and accessories to mourn their loss.
Funeral on 15th September 2005, at 11pm, on The Loft, KL. Above 21 only. Subject to club capacity.

Funeral

While I was writing my own obituary, I was actually imagining how it’d be. After all, I need to “leave” in style. The central theme would be black and white. Which means the coffin, hearse has to be black. The venue of the event would be decorated with white lilies. I’d be dressed in a black tutu, with a black corset matched with a pair of custom made black ballerina shoes with beautiful satin ribbon. The makeup would be simple, black smoky eyes & lip gloss. It’ll be a simple event. Just get it over and done with! It’s the wake that’s the main thing. It’ll be held in a nice cozy bar. Guests would be sipping martinis and munching on bite size finger foods while talking and mingling. It’s a social event after all. And please no crying. MOVE ON! Do not spend too much time mourning, life’s too short. Enjoy yourself. It’s a party, with lots of alcohol ;) Have fun!

*I have no idea why I'd actually blurt out how I felt for you. Guess I was angry at you. I'm really angry at the comment you made about me the night after the dinner. How can someone that I care about think so low of me? Should have left but I didn't want to make a whole drama out of it. Anyhow, it's all over. There were awkward moments but I've moved on. There's nothing for me to mourn anymore. No tears to cry, life's too short. You're limited and I accept that. Thank you. You're been a great friend. But sometimes a little too critical. Friends forever.*
