PHILIPS photos and more!

Tomorrow’s the very reason I procrastinate! (same for u lah just admit) Happy holidays all! And happy Awal Muharram to my Muslim friends. If not, tomorrow’s actually the 4th week for us TARCians battling in internship (wow), and die, Tuesday’s results day, thank you lah.

Speaking of internship, I haven’t really shown you my tempat duduk eh?

So far being in Philips Malaysia is stress-free (not like I sit down shake legs lah) but hey really I love the environment and organization’s culture rocks! And sorry pls. don’t be too jealous when I say up to date, my boss/supervisors still pay for my meal. Like hello I’m superpaiseh ok. I’m finding my way to paying someday k but most of the time, failed! They are the sweetest! When it’s work, they guide me best. When it’s lunch/out of office, they tease me best. Omg lah I’m like having a time of my life. With a boss trying to matchmake me (thank you!! haha), on the other hand, with one of my supervisors harassing me (I want to slap him so bad) gosh I love the drama!. And for the other good people in Philips, though not under them, they can really make my day.

Jeanette my boss gosh she’s supernice to me! At a personal level even, we share a lot. She makes me LOL in public, like damn kuat ok so embarrassing, hits me in my head, randomly smses me, sends me cute emails and noo I’m not taking advantage of this, I will do anything for her really!

Enjoy the photos yes you won’t see cherry in any of it. Though under our assessment photo taking with our face being in there (chances of faking our work, that is), is very much required, I am not going to have my face in a photo by simply asking my superiors to make the effort to take nice shots of me when I’m not really working. When am I really working? I am only really working when I don’t even have time to think about taking photos of myself during work. Get it? No posing is allowed? Why I think you’re asking us to pose already (think kerja amal moral during SPM). PR in my very opinion is not diplomacy. Diplomacy is just a better word for hypocrisy. Thank you.

I will however, some day in these 3 months, take some photos, only with one condition of my own. It has to be a total candid shot and that I was really working hard at that moment. Ok? Question is, who’s going to take it? Negotiate with someone who’s busy to do it? So. very. lame. Yes I do have issues.

some of my materials at work. PR toolkit.

TA-DA! i will spring clean when i get back on tuesday haha. and we do a before-after piece k!

aaawww see cherry at work.

full view of my place, sharing with kent my supervisor (he's such a nice person, got gf already though) tsk. haha obviously am just kidding because.........*shys away*

my left side view, my perfect view ;) boss' room is at the right side of the giant poster.

my front view where my neighbour facing me is Philip (from Philips) haha.

PHILIPS core values.

this is the coffee machine i want to own! hehe love the pantry though still very shy to go in there.

checking through draft brochures for spelling mistakes before printing.

DIGI staff sale cum PHILIPS roadshow at Lot 10 Digi, Shah Alam.

Best Denki Electrical Fair cum PHILIPS roadshow at 1U.

see? all of the photos without me being in it. why? because only an intern is most suitable to be the photographer, not the boss.

but my boss actually asked "eh eh how ar want me to take picture of you now?"

though very touched by her i replied "hey no it's ok jeanette"

jeanette: whyy?

cherry: i'm doing so little here, not like i'm working very hard that's worth a photo, it's ok.

Being in Trade Marketing Dept (similar to Marketing Communication) rocks! I was allowed to give input, asked for ideas and suggestions on how PR can play a role for PHILIPS wah damn syiok! Though I’m not as lucky as my friends learning from PR firms, I believe I’m blessed being here in Philips meeting the best bosses and supervisors! I’ll make the most out of it! For some reasons actually, I don’t feel like doing pure PR thing anymore.

I’m also happy for my friends who are doing very well at their internship placement kudos, keep it up and keep in touch! =)

One of the best examples, Zheng Guan whose name I now very often see on The Star.

Oops but..
I hate to break this to some of you but the wrong usage of Internship begins to frustrate me a little so let me TRY to put this to a stop K.

Intern – It means the person undergoing Internship
Interns – More than one intern
Internship – It means the Industrial training.

So pls stop calling yourself “interns” when you’re only one person; ask me cherry, how is your “intern” when I am in no position to train anyone yet and your experience now is called internship not intern.

Ok I feel better.
