Day Fifty Nine; Last Minute Celebration

Woke up as usual today and put on my new pair of boots. Heehe. I got ready by 8.35am in case Ah Boy came early but she arrived at 8.45am and then we left. I thought we’d miss breakfast like the past few days but today traffic was smooth. Ironically, it was smooth sailing because the traffic lights were out. A few minutes after arriving, I got a call from Jenny asking me to get some U-matic tapes from someone called Molly. U-matic tapes are like VCR tapes but slightly bigger and thicker and that’s where all the TVCs are stored. I asked for all the archived McDonald’s advertisements and found myself balancing 9 tapes on the walk back to my seat. My task was to list down every single ad, the duration, language and date for Jenny. The advertisements dated back to 1986, a year BEFORE I was even born. It’s 11.30 now and I finally finished listing everything. Tricia and Jenny haven’t come in yet. My guess is they’re settling some McDonald’s stuff out there. I delivered the tapes back Molly and then went back to my seat. Gin May tapped me on the shoulder and asked me to tell her the joke I wanted to the other day. After that we walked over to her place and then had a little chat. It’s 12.22pm already and is time for lunch. Kelvin was supposed to join us for lunch today but no sight of him yet. Ah Boy said he would only be here at 2pm so we went for lunch first. Vanessa, Ah Boy, Gin May and I went for lunch at the same place we went yesterday. Tricia called me to say that she was going to the office soon and asked if I had done Jenny’s work. I said yes. After lunch there, Ah Boy wanted to eat chapatti so we walked to this ‘Chapatti House’ called Restaurant Santa and got her chapatti. We arrived back at the office at about 1.50pm. It is now 2.52pm and I have been pretty idle. Kelvin is already here and is helping out with some work. I’m actually watching advertisements from around the world just to pass the time. I think I should get started with my internship report soon. Maybe now. Hmm. I continued watching advertisements until about 3.30pm and then Tricia asked me to help take photographs of a CD. I went to Jas to get the camera but she said it was with Jayme. Jayme hasn’t been in the office the whole day already and I heard she’s gone to see some Formula-1 car. I walked over to Jayme’s place and saw that she had just returned! Lucky me! I went to talk to Kelvin while Jayme transferred her pictures out. It is 4.49pm already. I took the pictures Tricia wanted earlier and then went out to the bistro where Gokul, Kelvin and Ah Boy were. We talked a little while and then saw some tongue twisters and tried it. Haaha. After that I talked to Vivian a little while and asked her why don’t she play sudoku anymore. Then she turned around whipped out a cutout page from a newspaper with 4 sudoku puzzles and said, “I do one already, then I feel sleepy.” I went back to my seat and the Tricia asked me to help her photostate some job reqs and also passed me a BM translation to check with Hanifah our BM copywriter. I went to look for Hanifah but he wasn’t there. I’ll try again later. It is 5.11pm now. I spotted Hanifah walking out just now so I followed him from behind only to find out that he was going to prayers. I guess I’ll see him after that then. I finally met up with Hanifah at about 5.30pm and we discussed about the copy a little. After that, I helped Tricia typed it out and also assisted Jenny in some of her stuff. Right before leaving at 6pm, Jenniner had just finished a conversation on the phone and suddenly went ecstatic. She then gave Jamie a ‘high ten’ and then went around ‘parading’ and celebrating. It seems we have won another account. The Siemen’s account. Just one month into the new year and we’ve gotten ourselves 4 new clients. I only know two of them which is Sempoerna and Siemens. Joyous! Anyways ok, I’m off! See you tomorrow! ~ 2 more days and then this site reaches its expiry.
