I'm not sure actually (@.@) haha.. just kidding... (^^,) anyway,,,, this is how it all started...
www.madshowcase09.blogspot.com
How it started...
All the students from different department are having their final artwork presentations on July 2009 before all of us can graduates, then our lecturer told us that we all need to do a showcase on August 2009 so we need to have all kinds of meeting for "the showcase work", the meetings will be conducted during and after our finals, but at that same time everyone need to plan "the showcase" and work on their final artwork presentations, oh gosh,, 2 works... " final artwork design and showcase together... damxxxx... that's a lot work ..(@.@) and all department combine?? I had a bad feeling ... (=.=) ..
It was a mess I guess, because everyone are rushing for their finals, and a lot of people have no time to come for meeting and help, a lot of trouble, a lot of gossip, a lot of tears, a lot of dislike, a lot of everything, you can't imagine,,, (@.@) I guess cause it's really hard to bring a group of different department people, together, to do one thing.. it's frustrating,, its a lot of people,, its omg.... but in the end,,, slowly..
Yup, with some help from some wonderful people and a lot of planing and a lot of deleting of people who don't help, and together, we all make The Robotic Box showcase a big hit and I really have to say thank you to all those wonderful people that work together to bring out the best in this showcase (^^,) and of cause to all those wonderful sponsors, thanks (^^,) cause without help from all these wonderful people, nothing can happen (@.@) and there will be no showcase to see (@.@) ..... so thank you all...
Our 1st meetings..
Our first time meeting, I remember I walk into a room with lots of student from different department.. GD, AD, ID, .. etc etc..
All of us don't know what to do and no idea at all what will everything be, No one give idea, No one wants to be the showcase president, No one wants to be the vice president, No one wants to be in any positions, I guess actually, No one wants to do the showcase anyway... (@.@) cause I guess, to bring a bunch of people that don't really know each other together, is really something very hard and everyone is still rushing for their finals artwork so again, I guess no one have the heart to do this showcase anyway... ..
but eventually we all were pull together and we all have to vote .. yup.. vote who is the showcase president... then the vice and so on.... and so everyone vote me "Mimmy" to be the president, I'm not sure why and I don't' think I'm that good or anything but why?? I guess if its oversea or something I would be proud if someone choose me to represent but here, my guess is that people only choose you because they don't want the responsibility, so they choose you... ya, I know... I wanted to help but not in this way so at the voting I voice out, after everyone vote me as president, I say, "NO, I don't wanna be president" ....
tho I don't wanna be president, yet I still wanna help so .. I became the vice president at the end of the meeting,,, and yup.. (@.@) we don't have a president cause No one wants that position.. and along with a lot of empty position because a lot of people are afraid of the responsibility of the title I guess.. so in conclusion, some are force to take the position but there are a few good soul that take their responsibility well (^^,) ... and that's how we started our first meeting.... (=.=)
Our meetingssss... Our ideas..ss...
Then of cause we have a lot of meetings and so on and without president and still No ideal what theme to do... but eventually things started to get into position, and we all talk to "Im Khai" and he agrees to become the president so wallah... things are all going our way.. (^^,) Its not smooth but hey, its going somewhere, so that all that matters most.. (^^,)
During our many meetings..ss
Yes, we are all NEW,,, yup, we don't know what's it's like to do a showcase cause we are all new, there's many error, there's many mistake, actually there's many a lot of things... (@.@) and me and our president are frustrated and tired.. then we started to plan for idea, "Ah Tai" gave some idea that I think is wonderful so I combine my idea with hers, she was saying that maybe we can use papers to do something...
so I suggested why not we name it paperland and use the papers to do a theme of forest or robots (^^,) oh, I always think "Ah Tai" is very talented, it's in all of her work hehehe ..(^^,) I guess it's in her blood, hehe (^^,) ok ok..... so I when back home and do some research and again.. (^^,) wallah... the next day.. I show the sketches and research to our lecturer,, there are two different theme, ,,
1) Forest theme.. papers forest and animals "trees and animals made from papers
2) Robot theme.. paper boxes of robots "robots made from recycle boxes
they loved it and so we have meetings... yup.. meetings and meetings.. and everyone choose the Robot theme, Mr.Lim agrees also, tho I love the forest theme but hey, they both are great so either one is good, so the process goes and yup.....
meetings.. lot's of meetings.. a lots of ups and downs and all around.. bla bla.. bla.. and design problem, lots of design to filter, lots of design progress, budget problem and so on and finally ... my logo and design was chosen to represent The Robotic Box theme... so I was with yet another big mission... (*.*) yup, the design of The Robotic Box mission... so things have been very busy with me, with my final artwork and the showcase artwork ... man... (*.*) ... and I have to deal with all the gossip, sometimes I'm just so tired ... (+.+) ..
I'm so busy and tired... then the meeting, and the venue problem, cause there are lot's of place that we decided but it's out of our budget and some are not approve by the college and a lot of things are not going well.. cause you know la, with lots of different attitude from lots of different people, can you imagine, our pressure... (*.*) and everyone says something and my ears are flooded with people talking... (+.+) phew...
Then... I had the shock of my life during this showcase... (@.@) a small meeting was organized I guess it's call lunch meeting, not organize by me, by someone, I just have to attend that's all.. so.. after the official meeting in the morning at college, I just when for it, for the so called lunch meeting, and man I was shock... the meeting started fine but then I was hit by words... and man... I means words.. (@.@) I was told that my idea and sketches have big problem, in a way... sucks.. I can't lead, I'm a mess, okok, man...
I already told everyone that the sketches can be change at anytime because our budget and sponsor are not in place yet so everything will have to be slowly put in place and we have manpower problem because some come for meetings some don't and actually we have lot's of internal problem but if we all work together I'm sure everything will be going as plan.. but no one listen to me.. ok that's fine.. (+.+) but why speech hit me in a way that after all the handwork I do seems nothing? it was hard on me, cause I was told that my lead was a mess, my sketches don't work, my idea got problem, I can't find sponsor, I must fight for the venue and the president will fired me if got problem on the venue that they fight for, and I was totally shock.. (+.*)fired? I did not ask for this position and I were to be fired? huh? ..
its like a big bomb suddenly hit me in my head... so I explain... I told that, I know its a mess ,but I'm trying and if other people don't wanna listen I can't do anything but to carry on.. and again, I was hit by speech bomb... (+.+) the the word "If you can't lead then step down from Vice President" hit me in my face and I was told like that twice of three times in my face during this so called lunch meeting.. (@.@) yup.. I was sad, and was sadder that president did not say a word during the speech bomb to help me, and was sadder that the person who gave such interesting speech bomb had nothing to do with the showcase at all and was even sadder that NO one say anything when I was bomb, and some was joking that they will help fired me and my heart was broken, I guess its a good idea that someone from outside to give idea, but what's with the bomb anyway, and what's with the "If you can't lead then step down from Vice President" attitude??? and to speak like that in my face and even after I have explain the problem you still speak this way... and from someone who are, mmm, hey, who are you? daxx.. (+.+) this is all stupid...
Meetings again..
I finally officially announce that I will be stepping down and I ask Kogul, Ah Tai or anyone at all to take over as Vice President because I do not need such stupid stuff to prove what I'm capable of, and yes.. I'm angry and sad but to me, I don't need to prove that I'm capable and whatever, but I was force back to take the responsibility of Vice President the next week because no one wanted that position, so I'm stuck.. oh, then I was assured that no more such rubbish. will be thrown to my face.. ya... whatever.. Haiz.. (=.=) anyway, whatever, cause I don't like to remember such things also and I hate gossiper, so whatever.. I'll do my work and assured that everyone to do theirs...
The Venue...
The venue is a big problem because of the budget and where it should be.. many problem occurred because of where the venue should be again, and as usual, everyone had to say something and it's a bit mess, but one of the lecturer from another department come to our rescue, Mr. JuneJye, he suggest a great place for our showcase, "The Annexe Gallery" at central market, so Mr.lim and the others when to Annexe Gallery and once they saw the place, boom.. they booked it on the spot.. Everyone love that place, me too (^^,) except for the parking fee (=.=)..
Meetings again...and again..
Now that my problem's gone, yet many problem grew along the way..(+.+) many people wanna quit, cause of the pressure of many things and we all need to design our finals and need to do the showcase and a lot can't cope, the gossip, the budget problem, bla bla bla, so I have to arrange some people who can't cope the showcase to join the setup team and because the setup time frame is on August, and that is after our final artwork presentations on July so they have time to do their own things, after that they can help with the showcase on Aug. Everything have been arrange according to plan and so on.. and yeah..... we stop meetings because we need to rush for our final artwork... yeah.. no meeting (^^,) hehehe but yet I still hear a lot of gossiping.. haiz.. (+.+) man.. its hard...
NO meetings.. Graphic finals artwork presentations
July, all of us the graphic designers, the Advertising people and so on are very busy because we need to design whole sets of artwork for presentations, we are all rushing for our final design and man.. its really hard being a designer (*.*) I respect all the designers all around the world (^^,) all of you guys makes this world beautiful... you rock... hehehe (^^,) ok ok ,, rush rush... rush
final presentations set up at college... rush rush.. we all set up at college from morning until 3am the next day and yup in the morning, I take 2days or more to set up because I need to bring stuff to college, then arrange the artwork again and again until all the artwork look perfect to me, anyway, I guess I bring the whole office to college cause I got chairs, table and bla bla bla to and stuff to put my artwork, banners, buntings, office CIS, portfolios, posters, tshirt, caps and many more ... it was hard work and very tiring (*.*)but well, I guess it's worth it cause if one day I look back, I guess I will be very happy because I done my best and it's a memory worth remembering (^^,)...
Ah Tai take 5days to setup I think, cause she did some very big wood artwork in Johor and needed lorry to bring to SEGi and she need to assemble the artwork in college and she did a lot of artwork, beautiful artwork, she's a born artist to me hehehe (^^,) ... I love all her work and she really did a lot .. and I respect her...
Then Erene, Adrin, Chester, Khai, Kogul and the other graphic designers also did a lot of set up and many did days of set up until the next morning at college... (+.+) and nope there is no ghost heheeh (^^,) ..
I love all of their work (^^,) it all look so good (^^,) some look yummy hehehe (^^,)
Then come the final presentations for Graphic department, oooo, we were all so tense, this is D day...(+.+) the lecturer walk in to rooms by rooms, the 1st presentation is by erene, the lecturer look at her artwork and give comment... bla bla bla... then follow by khai and comment and so on... then move to other designer one by one, (*.*) I'm last, so can you imagine,,, (+.+)
I'm so stress, but still trying to have fun at the same time, hehe (^^,) Erene bring cupcakes for her finals cause her artwork theme is cupcake and we all enjoy the cupcake after her presentation.. yumm yumm (^^,) hehee, it was a lot of hard work and fun and I love it...
Finals.. for other department
The other depart such as Advertising, Interior design and all other department, they all have different time for their final presentations so I was not able to see their artwork but I heard it was good (^^,) so I'm happy for them too (^^,)... and after everyone's final... it's time for The Robotic Box showcase to start working...
Finals finish - back to meetings and setup ... (=.=)
August, Yup... we all got our marks and are consider graduates with flying colors I guess...yeah. (^^,) hehehe. (^^,)...
Now we need to get back to do The Robotic Showcase... We started to re-budget the whole thing, cut a lot of budget and plan and send people out to talk to sponsors and send the setup team to set up the big Robot in college, and I have to rush for the showcase design, posters, bunting, banner, invitation card, showcase booklet, t-shirt and many more, rushing the artwork to print, did lots of mock up of invitation card and booklet before print because of lots of error in arranging, then everyone have question on how many booklet we should print, everyone say a piece of something, many problems occurred as usual, lots of gossip, mmm, why gossip so much ? (+.+) those people got nothing better to do... issit? mmm, then rushing for final printing, Ah Tai teams rushing to assemble the big robot and all of us rushing for everything....
Oh, I forgot to say... we have problems when printing the t-shirt, at 1st we were told by the supplier that our design and the t-shirt color that we choose do not have any problems and we will be getting the t-shirt in 3days cause I have send them the design previously.. and I was assured.. No problem... I was very pleased (^^,) so we arrange meeting with the t-shirt supplier, and man.. the factory is not near... after all the travel and lost our way and finally we reach the factory and its 6 or 7pm already, the supplier were kind and nice but......
they say... "we don't have your color, we can't print your design, it takes 14days to print and send the t-shirt to you" what??? .... ok.. we all don't have time some more I have to redesign the t-shirt and change the t-shirt color and email that supplier the next day, I'm disappointed because I felt cheated, but the supplier promised to send the t-shirt to Annexe Gallery and we do not have time to deal with other supplier so I guess that's ok... but.... 14days later.. I received a call, they can't deliver to Annexe Gallery, huh.. what?? I'm so disappointed and yup (=.+) .. a lesson learned, so to people who will be doing showcase... better find many many supplier and compare them ok... (=.=)
Finally....
Wow... we almost finish everything... the big robot almost in place, our budget ok, everything have send to print, so next stop is to bring all the boxes to Annexe Gallery for setup..

Khai arrange lorry to bring all the boxes to Annexe Gallery, and all of us have to start assemble the big robot and some was assign to make the table, some juniors were assign to help us too (^^,) and .. yup.. all the table that was used to put student's artwork at the Gallery were handmade using boxes...
It took us 4days to set up the big robot, all the boxes table, all the small robot and all the artwork, and all the settings, yup final 4days... everything were handmade and I'm so proud of everyone who come and help (^^,)... Ms. Mangala arrange MC for us and I'm I have to thank her too for the help (^^,).. and of cause, (*.*) as usual there is trouble, problem, gossip... and dislike erm.. the interior people did not frame their artwork ..erm... (*.*) but erm.. what to do?? erm.. I call up mr.Lim and ask for his advise and he told me he will look into it.. ok.. whatever... the showcase have to go on...

The venue is a big problem because of the budget and where it should be.. many problem occurred because of where the venue should be again, and as usual, everyone had to say something and it's a bit mess, but one of the lecturer from another department come to our rescue, Mr. JuneJye, he suggest a great place for our showcase, "The Annexe Gallery" at central market, so Mr.lim and the others when to Annexe Gallery and once they saw the place, boom.. they booked it on the spot.. Everyone love that place, me too (^^,) except for the parking fee (=.=)..
Meetings again...and again..
Now that my problem's gone, yet many problem grew along the way..(+.+) many people wanna quit, cause of the pressure of many things and we all need to design our finals and need to do the showcase and a lot can't cope, the gossip, the budget problem, bla bla bla, so I have to arrange some people who can't cope the showcase to join the setup team and because the setup time frame is on August, and that is after our final artwork presentations on July so they have time to do their own things, after that they can help with the showcase on Aug. Everything have been arrange according to plan and so on.. and yeah..... we stop meetings because we need to rush for our final artwork... yeah.. no meeting (^^,) hehehe but yet I still hear a lot of gossiping.. haiz.. (+.+) man.. its hard...
NO meetings.. Graphic finals artwork presentations
July, all of us the graphic designers, the Advertising people and so on are very busy because we need to design whole sets of artwork for presentations, we are all rushing for our final design and man.. its really hard being a designer (*.*) I respect all the designers all around the world (^^,) all of you guys makes this world beautiful... you rock... hehehe (^^,) ok ok ,, rush rush... rush
final presentations set up at college... rush rush.. we all set up at college from morning until 3am the next day and yup in the morning, I take 2days or more to set up because I need to bring stuff to college, then arrange the artwork again and again until all the artwork look perfect to me, anyway, I guess I bring the whole office to college cause I got chairs, table and bla bla bla to and stuff to put my artwork, banners, buntings, office CIS, portfolios, posters, tshirt, caps and many more ... it was hard work and very tiring (*.*)but well, I guess it's worth it cause if one day I look back, I guess I will be very happy because I done my best and it's a memory worth remembering (^^,)...
Ah Tai take 5days to setup I think, cause she did some very big wood artwork in Johor and needed lorry to bring to SEGi and she need to assemble the artwork in college and she did a lot of artwork, beautiful artwork, she's a born artist to me hehehe (^^,) ... I love all her work and she really did a lot .. and I respect her...
Then Erene, Adrin, Chester, Khai, Kogul and the other graphic designers also did a lot of set up and many did days of set up until the next morning at college... (+.+) and nope there is no ghost heheeh (^^,) ..
I love all of their work (^^,) it all look so good (^^,) some look yummy hehehe (^^,)
Then come the final presentations for Graphic department, oooo, we were all so tense, this is D day...(+.+) the lecturer walk in to rooms by rooms, the 1st presentation is by erene, the lecturer look at her artwork and give comment... bla bla bla... then follow by khai and comment and so on... then move to other designer one by one, (*.*) I'm last, so can you imagine,,, (+.+)
I'm so stress, but still trying to have fun at the same time, hehe (^^,) Erene bring cupcakes for her finals cause her artwork theme is cupcake and we all enjoy the cupcake after her presentation.. yumm yumm (^^,) hehee, it was a lot of hard work and fun and I love it...
Finals.. for other department
The other depart such as Advertising, Interior design and all other department, they all have different time for their final presentations so I was not able to see their artwork but I heard it was good (^^,) so I'm happy for them too (^^,)... and after everyone's final... it's time for The Robotic Box showcase to start working...
Finals finish - back to meetings and setup ... (=.=)
August, Yup... we all got our marks and are consider graduates with flying colors I guess...yeah. (^^,) hehehe. (^^,)...
Now we need to get back to do The Robotic Showcase... We started to re-budget the whole thing, cut a lot of budget and plan and send people out to talk to sponsors and send the setup team to set up the big Robot in college, and I have to rush for the showcase design, posters, bunting, banner, invitation card, showcase booklet, t-shirt and many more, rushing the artwork to print, did lots of mock up of invitation card and booklet before print because of lots of error in arranging, then everyone have question on how many booklet we should print, everyone say a piece of something, many problems occurred as usual, lots of gossip, mmm, why gossip so much ? (+.+) those people got nothing better to do... issit? mmm, then rushing for final printing, Ah Tai teams rushing to assemble the big robot and all of us rushing for everything....
Oh, I forgot to say... we have problems when printing the t-shirt, at 1st we were told by the supplier that our design and the t-shirt color that we choose do not have any problems and we will be getting the t-shirt in 3days cause I have send them the design previously.. and I was assured.. No problem... I was very pleased (^^,) so we arrange meeting with the t-shirt supplier, and man.. the factory is not near... after all the travel and lost our way and finally we reach the factory and its 6 or 7pm already, the supplier were kind and nice but......
they say... "we don't have your color, we can't print your design, it takes 14days to print and send the t-shirt to you" what??? .... ok.. we all don't have time some more I have to redesign the t-shirt and change the t-shirt color and email that supplier the next day, I'm disappointed because I felt cheated, but the supplier promised to send the t-shirt to Annexe Gallery and we do not have time to deal with other supplier so I guess that's ok... but.... 14days later.. I received a call, they can't deliver to Annexe Gallery, huh.. what?? I'm so disappointed and yup (=.+) .. a lesson learned, so to people who will be doing showcase... better find many many supplier and compare them ok... (=.=)
Finally....
Wow... we almost finish everything... the big robot almost in place, our budget ok, everything have send to print, so next stop is to bring all the boxes to Annexe Gallery for setup..

Khai arrange lorry to bring all the boxes to Annexe Gallery, and all of us have to start assemble the big robot and some was assign to make the table, some juniors were assign to help us too (^^,) and .. yup.. all the table that was used to put student's artwork at the Gallery were handmade using boxes...
It took us 4days to set up the big robot, all the boxes table, all the small robot and all the artwork, and all the settings, yup final 4days... everything were handmade and I'm so proud of everyone who come and help (^^,)... Ms. Mangala arrange MC for us and I'm I have to thank her too for the help (^^,).. and of cause, (*.*) as usual there is trouble, problem, gossip... and dislike erm.. the interior people did not frame their artwork ..erm... (*.*) but erm.. what to do?? erm.. I call up mr.Lim and ask for his advise and he told me he will look into it.. ok.. whatever... the showcase have to go on...

The showcase lasted for 3days, Friday to Sunday.. yup... months of planing and hard work ends in 3days (*.*) we all are very sad, because the big robot is too big and no one can bring it back... (*.*) If only I have a place to fit the big robot... (+.+) .. so we all sign our name on it and tear it apart for Recycle on the last day, the big robot, the boxes table were all tear apart for Recycle (*.*) sob.. sob.... all the hard work... anyway, we all tidy up our feelings and things, lock the door and when back home...
The day to Recycle everything...
Khai send the lorry over to The Annexe Gallery to collect all the boxes and papers for Recycle , with the help of all the setup team people, all boxes and papers were send to the lorry to bring it to Recycle center, No stuff should be wasted so we Recycle everything, plastic drink bottles, papers and boxes... everything... it was hard work because there are boxes in SEGi also, so after collection from The Annexe Gallery KL the lorry have to go to SEGi Subang Jaya to collect the remaining boxes for Recycle and man... the traffic jam...
