Before arriving at Titiwangsa, I messaged Cath and Trinity about my almost-arrival. It was kinda funny to know that Trinity's phone died. I wonder how long she had been at the outside without charging the phone. Poor phone.. Cath was totally busy for the whole day and I did not had the chance to meet up with my 'summoner'. Cath found me, so.. Cath = Summoner, no?
Trinity was driving her white Myvi back then, with Marilyn at the side. We had talked non-stop since I got on board, sitting at the back. Anyway, I used broken English in the whole conversation hahas but I was trying to make it correct all the time~ still learning though. They were two very friendly PR students, at least they got A+ in socializing, good and friendly service (lol). Thanks for the Fillet O' Fish as my lunch! and uh.. long time no see, Mc Shaker =D
We arrived at the National Cancer Society Malaysia aka NCSM office after a short trip. The site that I was supposed to consider design was located at the first floor. We reached that floor by a tiny little elevator. As soon as we reached there, I was being brought to face Ms. Anrie, the financial directors of the office.
Honestly, I was a little panicked coz this was my first time, in almost everything such as head to head talking with a client, giving response on the spot etc. Internship was kinda different, it was like working under a protection armor but this NCSM Project, I was not a nobody.I'm.... somebody o_O
Ms. Anrie seemed happy to see them again and also to meet me. She was a tall woman, with beautiful smile and fluent English, how I wish I can speak like her.. aww~
After a brief introduction, she began to take me looked around the office. There were TV area, where all kinds of sofa were mixed and matched; A registration area, occasionally they will set up some tables and chairs for event purpose; A multi-purpose conference room, but mose likely looked like a huge store room with lots of thing stacked against the wall, and even a portable sauna machine was there too! How interesting~; A PC corner, with four pc and two tables arranged in a parallel orientation. And lastly, a mini library with lots of tall bookshelves, which somehow dimmed the space a little.
The palmtop bear bear that was displayed as a merchandise
After the brief explanation about her requirements, she left everything to me and went back to the general office. I'd admit, I was a little stress at first. I was scared that I can't be of any help after traveled so far just to help them, I was scared that I can't managed to figure out what's the next step in designing the office library.
It's me!
Luckily, everything seemed to go smoothly since Marilyn and Trinity were at my side, giving suggestions and ideas all the time. I really appreciate it.. if they weren't there, I don't think that I can come up with the final furniture layout plan that good.
PC corner, space consuming, irregular table size.
Another side of TV area - The merchandise area
The very first stage of the whole design process
The portable sauna that I mentioned has also got a music player, strange yet enjoyable, isn't it?
I swear I didn't dye grey hair =(
Genetic lol.
Genetic lol.
and the very view from the entrance.
We stayed in the office, measured, discussed and took lots of site pictures for the whole afternoon. Until someone from the office kindly told us that the office was about to close, we only left the office and head to ... IKEA.
The journey to Ikea was long, at least enough for Marilyn to sleep in the car, and I keep on chatting with Trinity. We three were extremely hungry at that time, but nothing could help us but stop thinking about food stuffs.
Anyway, we've managed to tahan till the foods were right inside our mouth~ Mmmmmm wouldn't forget the taste of that heavenly food after hungry for such long time~ alittle exaggerated but that's how we felt~ haha.
We immediately head to the Ikea food court upon arriving at the inside of Ikea. Our hands and legs were already trembling like we haven't eaten for days, seriously.
Trinity had a yummy fish n chip with mayo, Marilyn had the famous meatball and a kind of finger licking sauce while I had this... err.. something like grilled chicken with lemon sauce. Additionally, we had muffins and pudding as dessert. Not to mentioned that the drinks were free refilled! Having meals in Ikea was truly an amazing enjoyment.
The happy-go-lucky Trinity and fun-to-be-with Marilyn
We've proposed the low shelves for the library.
Ideas and drafts non-stop! Even when we were searching for inspirations
We never stop thinking. We even draft and arrange all the way till the exit of Ikea.
Discussions were everywhere. It was a very fun and mind challenging experience.
The classy glass-door cabinet we proposed for displaying merchandises and trophies.
Artificial grass were nice to have in the library! That was what I was thinking before I site visited with my own eyes. Well, the idea still applied into this NCSM Project. Should be able to bring a sense of indoor nature to the library corner.
We ended our trip at 10pm and head back to... a condo. And I was assigned to sleep on a sofa on the 15th floor, a unit consisted of 6 people. They were all Tarcians. Well, not much can be done since I was there only for a night. I slept at 3 and woke up at 5am due to... something troubling. It was myself actually, coz I'm kind of a light sleeper. There was one people moving out, and noises were everywhere. Just because of a sound of plastic bags and I woke up. After watching the people left, I couldn't even resume my sleep. Brrr.
Anyway, there's one person, I forgot what's ur name, but thanks for offering me a bread early in the morning when I was almost hungry to death T____T
And thanks to Joyce who lead me the way and taking care of me.
5 in the morning.
I went to TARC! This was... actually my second time. The first time was around 4 or 5 years ago when I was deciding to go for Hotel Management course in TARC but ended up in this stupid, time wasting and memorable form6. God knows how come I changed to Interior Design course but anyway... arriving at TARC was such a nice experience!
The bus ticket per trip!
No need identity checking!
Flexible usage!
but sometimes will use over RM100 per month I guess.

TARC, to me, at first, doesn't looked like a college but more like a secondary school with lots of sloppy road. Maybe because of the hills. I had been to the canteen, bought bread and choc milk as breakfast, and then went to their classroom at the 3rd floor. It was quite troublesome to climb the staircase everyday like this for them.
How lucky for me to be able to watch their presentation about various things, presentation topics such as "boyfriend girlfriend", "Cupcakes", "Frisbee" and more. I was thinking to say... “ oh I missed my presentation moment in class..." but then I swallowed them back., Hehe.
And that's when I met Cath, my summoner. She's became a very pretty girl since I last saw her in secondary but too bad she had a serious sorethroat and couldn't speak much, and she looked tired, and I have no luck seeing her present infront of the class.
The class dismissed at 12pm and they brought me to have lunch nearby their school. The street was so lively compared to Limkokwing University at Cyberjaya. It was totally a city and forest of comparison.
We had our lunch at a shop next to a busy street。 There's one stall which had a "Ho Chiak" signboard on it, looked like they had been on the TV before. The rice was very nice, and we gained full satisfaction through it.
The food I missed most was Snowflakes, with flavored ice at the bottom and different toppings at the top such as 'sesame cubes', jelly and red beans. It was soooooo yummy and I wish I had the chance to eat it again when I get back to KL.
Chiu Chiu Didi hamster zai, I wonder how your voice sounds like
