Hey, I can talk about my assignment now! Whee... so fun. So, we were suppose to create a few PR(Pubic Relations...LOL) events for both the upcoming IronMan Movie and the shitty Malaysian brand of footwear, Asadi. I’d rather wear Bata. Oh wait, what was that? Bata’s not a local brand? Really?
So we continue. Yes, we needed to write a proposal for each event, after that, prepare a simple news release and take mock photos of the event for the media. The funniest( I mean most fun) part of the whole thing was of course the photos! Gawd, we had some really funny and embarrassing experiences.
Well, for Asadi, we proposed to have a kite flying competition. However, to promote the line of slippers by Asadi named ‘Ultralite’, we decided to have a little twist by making it the First Ever Slipper Attached Kite Flying Competition. (Remember, these are all fake, okay?) Drove to Taman Metropolitan Kepong with Cherry, Crystal and Hema the first time and then with Basil too the second time. By the way, great place to go fishing or fly kite.
Went there twice coz we thought our photos didn’t really turn out right the first time. Anyway, we drove there the first time in my SLK(Small Little Kancil). Got there and it was raining already. Luckily it stopped raining after a while. Quickly bought a kite. Asked the guy for the biggest kite he had, and it had to be shaped like a bumblebee.(Pretty cheap though, only RM20) So we had fun trying to fly the kite. The wind that day was pretty shitty. And with the slippers attached, kinda embarrassing coz everyone was looking at us. A little girl came up to us and asked us “kenapa nak pasang slipar kat layang-layang?" And with selamba’ness’, we answered “oh, takde, buat projek sains”. Anyhow, we manage to take some believable pictures with great flying kites in the background. Some of the people there had damn nice kites. I especially like the one with the spinning tail.
The pro kite flyer, Crystal.
So many kites.....
Our second trip there was a week later. Just had to get a prize giving ceremony shot. Drove ther in my Kancil again. (With all the pride and boldness, LOL) Got there early trying to beat the rain. I guess the rain had its own ideas. Fixed my new kite which I bought, the spinning tail one, flew it, and before I could finish releasing my kite string, down came big drops of rain. Curses... So we decided to just take the photo under a tent and get home. And, that’s for Asadi.
Me and my gals, check it out...
Just FYI, IronMan the movie is premiering 30th of April. For IronMan, we proposed to tie up with Petrosains in KLCC to sponsor some abused children for their Robotix program. It’s a robot building program, testing their creative and inventive abilities just like how Tony Stark aka IronMan was a genius inventor. Wow, we really put our heart and soul into this, man! (Just a kind reminder, our events are all fake and strictly for educational purposes)
The night before, Cherry, Crystal and I stayed up through the night at Crystal’s place. The girls were busy sewing the IronMan suit, while I was preparing the banner. Had to do it coz we decided last minute to take the photos the next day. But all in all, was a success. Slept over at Crystal’s after finishing. Yes we did manage to sleep, at 5.30am. Woke up at 9 or so. 
Supposedly, this is how they sleep in space.
In the afternoon, the three of us including Hema and Basil, took a trip into Petrosains before our ‘abused children’ arrived for the photo session. Went into Petrosains to take some mock photos, whatever we could fake. Wow, after so long not being in Petrosains, really was fun. I especially liked the glow-in-the-dark part of the dark ride. Too bad cameras were not allowed during the dark ride coz my white Nike shoes were glowing in the dark, and it was so damn cool.
'Syiok sendiri' in the wind tunnel
Yes, keep smiling for the camera, even if you are sleeping.
WooHoo, I'm in space!!! I'm an Astronaut. Or maybe just a 'CanOrNot?'
Our ‘abused children’ arrived later for the photo session outside Petrosains. Well, actually, they are all my friends. Thanks a lot guys! Couldn’t have done it without you:
Ken, Boris, Daniel and Juyi.
We all posed for the photo with the one and only IronMan(really, was Basil in it). I was like damn embarrassed coz there were so many passers-by. You know posing with the fake banner. Just as IronMan walked out from the fire exit area into the mall, we were like “OH MY GOD!!! and WHAT THE F**K!?!, THIS IS EFFING EMBARRASSING!!”. Luckily the security guard allowed it coz Crystal asked him so nicely earlier. We quickly snapped the photos, and IronMan quickly went into ‘hiding’ and changed back into his secret identity. Basil, YOU DA MAN!!! I salute you for doing that. Even if I was getting like a thousand dollars for doing that, I wouldn’t have the balls to do so. Hey, thanks a lot Basil, we really owe you one, really. Would you like a dinner?
IronMan and the 'abused teens'. LOL
Anyway, after IronMan was gone, stupid Daniel was like, “Hey, go tell the guard, sekarang Spiderman keluar”. Bloody good joke though.
The photos turned out not too great, coz the one where IronMan’s face looked real, he was standing behind and when he was standing in front, it was crumpled. Oh well, live with it coz it ain’t gonna happen again. No No. Not another photo shoot again. The public watching us even took photos of their own, just hope it doesn’t end up in the Star or something.
Developed the photos, and handed in the assignment today, with all the stress and anxiety too. Relieve. Oh wait, there’s still one more to go. ACTION PLAN!!!
