Le goal is there..look bright to my future (11th of July)

received my dearest's messages in the early morning
and I was told that he wouldn't be able to make it tomorrow
a bit of disappointed I guess?
so I chose not to talk to him til he once again, sent me messages at 4-ish
well well well....I know I should understand him more
knowing fairly well it's a critical moment for him to get everything done by the end of next month
it is quite tough...

anyways...
I found out a lot more about rising sun picture tonight
RSP has provided visual effects for more than 30 Hollywood films in the past a few years
including those ones you may say wow
Harry Potter!!!
Gatsby!!
Prometheus!!!
yesssssssss Wolverine and and and X-man!!
holy molly...
I almost screamed out as that list of projects appeared at the screen
Now my goal is even clearer than ever
I would find my way to get there at the very end
hopefully there will be one day I see my name under that list of credits
my tiny little name will be found somewhere on the screen...
I might sound overly excited
but hello~It's almost the ultimate step to get myself closer to my dream...
Also I found out several software they use or say
any leading visual effects companies heavily dependent on those software
Hence, I'm planning to learn one of them by heart on my own some day
maybe when I finish class at AIT?
That sounds great right? :)

PS: not able to sleep at night
even that act of rolling over has awaken my mummy next door
she came over and lied next to me
we talked a lot for the rest of the night
as we both were fully awake
her past, her love towards both her dearest and I
the problem she's been facing recently
her consideration of us moving to elsewhere
her avoidence to not let herself be a burden for me if anything does happen to her
her truly deepest love for me is what I remembered the most
that visceral talk while holding my hand tightly under the sheet
and the fear of losing me etc
has touched that really bottom of my heart...
I love you too mum
ever ever...to thank you for all the years to spend with me and raise me up
I promise I will not let you down
and make you proud..

New friends (10th of July)

I'm glad that I attended that appointment
the career adviser has been so nice
he helped me improve my resume in a way
by asking me to write everything more specific
I got all my answers for something I wanted to know
and he also encouraged me to try to look for intern
by saying I'll never know if I'll succeed to get the position
I felt I approached my dream job for a little
after seeing him
he got me realize how it is necessary to start things early
and how attention in details makes a difference to impress people

a long talk on the phone with her about what I learned from the interview
which is correlated to what I read from the book
was a really great talk via phone
while I had that one moment to feel that I am so going to get in film industry if I insist myself to it

I was invited to have dinner with his friends
because the Jap has just received his offer to a Jap restaurant
we were all there to celebrate for him tonight
though I was only getting to know him
he seems to be a really adorable one
having everyone to teach him English
I tried to get myself fit in the group as I didn't want to feel left out
but at the same time, I didn't want to make myself seem annoying
considering how much I would talk and when to talk in front of a group of strangers
I chose to be a silent one during dinner time
they were all quiet too
but beside that
I knew he tried to encourage me to talk to his friends
so I did so, to ask questions and be nice where I felt they were engaged
I mean, they are really really nice
it was happy to meet them
some of them even almost made the noodle soup spill at my face
when they tried to use chopsticks to get the noodles
funny how they carefully tried not to scare me by slowly getting the noodles into their bowls
Malaysian is nice too but a bit sissy tbh lol
his accent and body language have made him an overly tender one of a kind
good feel to make some new friends
that happiness could last so long
even along with me on my way home...

Looking into media industry (9th of July)

That feel was crappy in the beginning of the day
til my attempt to go for some gross videos online
which I changed from sleep-deprived zombie-like to a hyperactive maniac 
I started my readings earlier than usual
when came across to some recommended key words, concepts, organisations or whatnot
I would eager to know them all by doing some research on each of them
Today, I learned a lot
including the media organisations that are supposedly known
the local visual effects company as well
oh, of course, the q&a section was also informative
which letting me know much more about media industry in depth
the actual experience of those working in rising sun pic
animal logic
white agency
ninemsn etc
their answers to the questions have provided me at an extent of understanding how the internal structure is like
what attributes, experience the employers are looking for within the graduates
how we should be specialised in some aspects, and likely to being a generalist in other aspects
the difference to work within a public and private organisations is also vital
I was so glad that I found this book
is extremely useful to add so much perspective to view the industry
Given that I also have a good plan to be a better self
this is a good starting point to have that confidence back
taking some skills listed in a few pages of that book, also from those executives who
pointed out that time management, projection management, attention to detail, adaptive skills
are no less important than that of other attributes
in fact, they are the top skills the employers are seeking from us
what is more...
hmmm...thanks for another deep talk with her
and a lot of support from dar dar
he might think I sometimes am annoying lol
since I kept on telling him the things I did, things I knew and all those discoveries I found amazing
good good day after all :3

A lot (8th of July)

Nice talk with fattie from oversea
he was quite encouraging when I told him my wish to go intern in Beijing
we had our talk for work and relationship too
so now he can finally understand me better

heard that somebody's Jap Jap friend is moving out
because of that conflict he had with the landlady
I truly understand how he has been feeling for not being able to express his thoughts though

another sleepless night....
must be reading too much
plus thinking a lot
which result in that constant thinking process even on bed...

AIT visit (7th of July)

A deep talk with mummy
about my attempt to go Beijing for an intern
thanks for her support and understanding
it's usually hard for her to agree with that
but she did this time
so I had this mixed feeling
sobbing on my way to Central
that feels for being accepted while a kind of fear not sure what will happen in the future 

not much at AIT
after I checked the timetable for any changes I could have made
without other available classes for my uni subjects
I can only take one subject at AIT to avoid all the possible clashes with uni
then now intern is a must-do for this sem
I seriously need to work
like come on....like the post I read last night
I'm really scared of not being able to find a job after I graduate if I still don't have an intern atm
anyways I also sent an email asking to apply for that vhub thing
hopefully I can get it
and I really want to get in for some video editing experience
got a lot to do...
gotta plan...

Job hunting (6th of July)

been doing some preparation for career expo
imagining myself to get into some big company for work
I mean, it's better to have a dream than nothing

so much job hunting for the rest of the day
some volunteer program is good
being a part of that community to help the refugees doesn't sound bad at all
except that the application form and the place seem to be a bit dodgy
when all they ask you to fill in contains too much private information
plus lots of rules have to be followed
some jobs are fine though
however, assumed that not much time I can spare to take an intern
the paid intern I meant
I will have to keep looking for the one that suits me the best

money money money money...
I know how hard that is to live in such a situation
even struggling with the really regular basis of things
could be that annoying
I understand her worriment
but she shouldn't have taken the both on the same scale
money cannot measure everything
the core value of jobs is to learn, at least at my stage
I, being such an inexperienced
what else you expect others to pay that much for an intern?

lastly...
ps learning before going to bed
that's the only thing keeps me alive so far
it's really my choice, my interest
that pure, without anything getting me as worried as how to look for a job...

Really, le mockingjay (5th of July)

rejection again, makes me think that I am less important than anything else
I mean, we only meet once a week
yet you still can't fulfill my wish
yes, you might say I am taking so less concern with your work
or not even care and understand you more
the rejection was real
I won't ever force it on you because there is no point
even the struggling on bed made me realize how foolish that is to get something started
nakedness has made us see even clearer what the fact is
and like the movie Mockingjay
it's getting banal
people are attempted to kindle the fire and let mockingjay be the power to bring everyone together
but there is one thing or that one person, or a reason
stopping Katniss ambition to go even further
and that is, Peetar, who was held hostage by the capitol
as to exchange the plan to cease fire or rebellion from the power to fight for unjust
like us, we always have a situation, or a barrier to overcome
you think everything can be up to your wish
and pure, simple
and follow your heart
not
............

anyways....
I really am getting used to it...

lastly, thanks for le compliment on my poorly cutting skills
the potatoes cutting was fine
still much better than the peeling
thanks for the meal too
me was bloated after all...
