How To Throw a Memorable Birthday Party in the Office | No comments:

By: Ms Clementine on Wednesday, September 04, 2013

It was my colleague's birthday a few days ago and in order to make her birthday different from the normal birthday celebration in the pantry, I pranked her with a watermelon.

STEP 1:

Everyone in the Marketing was informed to NOT give birthday wish to this girl on her special day. It was purposely delayed until a week later in order to convince her that we had totally forgotten about her birthday.

STEP 2:

Get a watermelon!

STEP 3:

Wait till it was almost time to go home. Get everyone to gather in the pantry and present the Birthday Watermelon to the birthday girl with a birthday song!

STEP 4:

Get her to make a wish and blow the candle off the watermelon.

 

Her reaction : Priceless

STEP 5:

Continue talking as if the half of watermelon if the only thing we bought and make her cut them into small pieces.

STEP 6:

Bring out the cake that one of your colleague has been tasked to hide.

 

Make her make another wish.

STEP 7:

Continue laughing at birthday girl's reaction.

 

Happy Birthday my friend.

Day Two At New Workplace | No comments:

By: Ms Clementine on Wednesday, April 17, 2013

April had been a really good month for me so far. I've finally secured a job as a Marketing Communications Exec in an international pest control and hygiene company.

Ohai!

This is my first time working in a corporate world where everything has to go by the standard operating procedures. And honestly, I find it a little overwhelming and have yet to get used to it. I'm too used to work in a small scale, relaxing and fun working environment.

Take WG for example, there were only four of us in the same office and we were free to chat, joke, laugh out loud and sometimes sing and dance in the office. Our office was always filled with fun and laughters. Even during our lunch time. I doubt I will be able to create the same atmosphere over here as we are sharing the same office with 50 other staffs.

Where I will be seated on the first week

On my first week, I had been scheduled by my superior to join the company's induction program. It is pretty much like an orientation where a representative from each department comes over and do a presentation on what their department is about, what are their roles in the company and what are their working procedures like. It was pretty awesome as I am able to get to know the organization and the people here better. I'm actually waiting for the next presentation on the company's cash management while I was drafting this blog entry on my notepad.

In the next three days, I will be joining the service technicians and sales personnel on a field attachment to see how things are done outside of the office. I am super excited but also worried at the same time. My team mates assured me that it is going to be a lot of fun so I'm keeping my fingers crossed!

View from the meeting room

Oh yeah, I was totally astounded when I found out that staffs are NOT ALLOWED to use the company's wifi on the mobile phones. Oh bugger!! Tsk..tsk.. tsk..

My working attire!

And the best part about working here will be, there a shopping mall RIGHT BEHIND the office building!!! I can't wait to go shopping after work! It's super awesome!!!

UPDATE!:

I went and walked around the mall right after work and found out that this mall is one of the LOUSIEST MALL that I've ever been too. Hands down! So.. boooooooooo!

Chic Work Wear With H&M | No comments:

By: Ms Clementine on Tuesday, April 09, 2013

Since its first opening in Kuala Lumpur last year, H&M has remained as my favorite shopping spot. And truthfully, I have not been shopping else where since I started working in WG, which is 10 minutes walk away from H&M's outlet in Lot 10. I still remember when there are times when I would walk over to shop for new outfits before starting work at 11am. Madness.

Here are some of my purchases for the past three months. 

Leopard print shirt, peacock green skirt, silver top, blue pants and boots

White t-shirt, both necklaces and blue shirt

And while working in WG, I usually go to work wearing really casual hip outfits ranging from colorful pants to crazy skirt in bright colors.

But now that I am about to start a new job in a corporate world, I am required to wear something more formal. And that means.. SHOPPING TIME!

With the Dressing Room application in H&M's website, I've created a few looks that I would to carry to work. I always believe that formal wear doesn't have to be boring. It can be super chic too. 

Pink chiffon blouse paired with a black skirt with embroidered details.

Yellow sleeveless top tuck in a cardigan with a cute beige skirt.

Blue chiffon top with a linen trouser in dark grey. Paired with a pair of electric blue pumps.

I love this a lot. Red shirt and blue jacket with black fitting trouser.

Pencil skirts do not have to be in boring black all the time. So one of those days when you want to cheer up the atmosphere in the office, you may wear a colorful skirt but match it with a plain dark color blouse. Nothing too crazy.

By the way, if you would love to create a look book like this, you may do so by clicking on DRESSING ROOM on H&M's website.

I have been resting since 1st of March and now that I'm all energetic, I can't wait to start work on Monday! Woohoo!

Write-up for KL Lifestyle March 2013 | No comments:

By: Ms Clementine on Sunday, March 31, 2013

When I was working in Werner's Group, one of my job responsibility was to write press release for the restaurants and bars.

So somewhere in February, I wanted to promote Bier Bar KL so badly that I called up one the editor of KL Lifestyle to have Bier Bar KL featured in their magazine. And I was delighted when I was told that they are going to feature about bars in KL city. But the downside is, I have to do the write up myself. And as we have three bars under our wing, I had to do three write ups within a day as the deadline is three days away.

There was a point when my mind went totally blank and I ended up staring at my computer screen for hours and yet couldn't come up with anything. But thanks to the invention of DUBSTEPS, I finished all three in an hour,

And oh boy, I was super proud of myself when I saw them published in their March's issue. To me, it was another milestone achieved and I will definitely have this added to my resume.  

2012 Christmas Celebration | No comments:

By: Ms Clementine on Thursday, December 27, 2012

Call me boring but I always lead a very dull life. Partly because I have a small little baby boy and a powerful EMPRESS at home. I never attended any parties, never been to any chill out session and I probably didn't have any social life whatsoever. And another reason would my crazy working hours. I used to have to work from morning till late night, even more so on a PUBLIC HOLIDAY. I'm pretty glad that I'm out of it. Fashion industry is a lot of fun, but the ridiculous working hours is not.

So this year, I had it differently!

I spent my Christmas Eve by helping out in Dining In The Dark KL. Serving drinks, chatting with the guests, carrying coffee and tea up from downstairs. Tiring, but fun!

After all that, I went to sit down on my favorite spot in TEN On Changkat to online. I probably annoyed the DJ so much by asking her to help me with my laptop's power plug. I think I got her to plug in and plug out of my cable at least 6 times? OMG, I'm sorry DJ Evilecktrik, if you are reading this, please don't hate me!

Clock ticks 12am and there were fireworks and sounds of vuvuzelas making a lot of noise outside. Very annoying, that vuvuzela.

The party had started upstairs so I went up to snap a few photos of the partying upstairs. But I sucks at taking photos and I ended up with these sucky photos.

Horrible photos.

Anyway, I had an eye-opening jaw-dropping views of couples french kissing in the open. I was kinda terrified really. Hey, it's not everyday that i get to see couples having tongue action live. But it's not something that I wanna encounter often.

After that, I went back to TEN to annoy the hell of the DJ again and was joined by my colleagues, Rain, Tong and Darius. As it was getting ridiculously noisy, we headed over to The Whisky Bar KL for a really nice mature drink. And we had chocolate fondue accompanied by a shot of whisky!

After our chit chatting session, the gang had to leave because they have to work tomorrow. I was left alone waiting for the husband to come. And this happened.

Not bad, not bad at all.. :D
