MARCH

there are a lot of things happened in March

i could say it's busy month for me after the CNY

everything back to usual and busier than before

TAP WEEK

I'm not really know what it means or

what it stands for

but after I experienced it

it's like a group activities that all mccanian from different department

divided into 10 group and comes to know each other

understanding and communicate

telematch and group performing

the highest score among the teams will be rewarded by cash

and this activities will be held for a week once annually

maybe AA used to has this kind of activities

but it's very first time for me

Fortunately and unfortunately

I was grouped with our ECD, CCO, CFO, one of the AE, one of the AD, 

brand director, 3 senior senior from brand team and 1 senior designer

lastly, the FA that newly join the agency, that's me

First day

we were having dinner together, sitting close to each other

and it's introduce yourself session

 to share your experiences and anything about you

well, compare to them

i don't have the experiencessssss they have

and they shared about their own family, wife, kids, children

but sadly i'm still single and sometimes i not even know myself

(hahaha... funny)

so you can imagine

they were talked more about 5 mins

while i only spoke for 3 mins

furthermore, my english wasn't that good

especially without any preparation

(fyi, our newly CCO is British from UK and most of them are elder and English educated)

anyway, i've done my best

hopefully they understand me... hopefully

Second and Third day

we were going to set up our group family tree with a theme

and you know the whole TAP week was carried along our working hours

so don't expect higher status member to do the task together

as they were too busy with their jobs, clients, meeting and so on

even i was busy but still i need to work it out myself

as you know the hierarchy, i'm the bottom level

so you need to stay at office without OT paid

to finish what my leader (AD) planned

well, it's not a tough task at all

just print out, cutting paper, sticking

but still cost my time to finish it

good thing is you can saw many different last minute works from other group

Forth day

the telematch

the whole game is set in the whole building of Wisma LYL

which means every group need to complete all the task at different level floor

and we're requested to gather in the office for game briefing in 6.45am

since the games are allocated at different floor

so we are rushing up and down by using the staircase

well, it's really good exercise in the early morning

but after the game end

we were going back to work with exhausted and sleepy mood

somemore we had to stay back for performance rehearsal for Friday's night

so it was a tired and sleepy day for me

Fifth day

as usual we're busy with our job

and even the rehearsal and script were also last minute

so our overall performance on that night was so so

and i was enjoying the rest of group performance

they all were really really funny and creative in their own way

i would say it was a really great night on that day

after everything 

all the score added up and we got the winner for the TAP week

of course we're not the winner but also not the last one among 10

what else after that

definitely a party night will be drew up for everyone

a party night at our pantry dining area

can you imagine it?

well, we do have a balcony that connect to that pantry

that can fit that a lot of people

so no more waiting

they rocked that night with wine, beer, cuisine, music and dance

(just like clubbing)

for me, i'm not enjoy the noisiness, crowded and alcoholic

so i just skip the party myself and mock up photo album for farewell of our ECD and CEO

(sometimes i just feel hard to get along with them because i'm not their type)

and that's all for the TAP week

oh yah...

there was an evaluate session for those who has worked at least 1 year in the company

so i'm not be chosen

Worthy Book Ladies Edition

a coupon book with a lot of great deal specially for woman

this was actually my freelance job

that require me to work for them in their office during the weekend

due to the deadline of the publishing book which is the end of the March

so my ex-colleague and i have to work with them all the weekend

Saturday and Sunday from 10am - 10pm

this even worse than my FA job

just because for rushing deadline

amend, amend, amend and amend

things that i do for the whole weekend

after the book published was thinking to terminate the contract with them

very costing time and less income

not worth at all even they free us lunch and dinner

still not the suitable job for me

Back to my FA job

after few months working there

i did reduced my mistake

however still not reach my target 0 mistake per month

and the most important thing is

i still can't get along with my colleague even from the same department

maybe the age problem... and maybe myself problem too

CI, CI, CI

the corporate identity that we have to follow all the time

and because of it

some designs are not good as i expected from designer and visualizer 

but no choice

FA is doing FA job, nothing more

so bored and feel sleepy for me

i'm not sure how long i will be there as FA

just thinking there is not much helping me to improve my portfolio

nothing to insert from there

anyway it did slightly improve my Ps skill

i guess will upload some photos of my office next time

since it's totally different working environment compare with others

CONCLUSION

March is tired month for me yet it's not over

so no much go out and activities with my dear friend

so i gonna miss you, my friends

yah... life is short

so i'm going to do something that i never done before

just to enjoy and experience what's the life

all the best wishes for what ever you do

support, support and support
