Suzie needed 2 more hours of sleep

Should've listened to everyone to go to bed early yesterday.
When I was still awake at 2am and had to wake up at 6:30am, my bro was like, WHY YOU STILL HAVEN"T SLEEP YET?! And in my super act chill act cool tone, "Aiya, confirm awake one lah first day of work leh of coz awake lah. In school I also sleep like that. Same timing all. 4 hours can lah" He was like, school and work different eh!
True enough, it was different. I was so tired after lunch. Maybe food coma.
But anyway, Day 1 of work was surprisingly GOOD?
I was SO excited to see all the news rooms and I was granted a tour around CNA (coz I asked hahaha). My goodness, I was as happy and excited as can be, smiling at ANYONE and EVERYONE. (Smiled at all the tv presenters hahah) Was introduced to SO many people that I swear I tried my best at remembering. I typed some names down somemore.
And of coz, as the new intern, other than my supervisors, I also had to introduce myself. "Hello my name is Si Hui". "What? No English name ah. You want Susan or Suzie"
"Suzie".
So Hi everyone, I got another name that will probably be adopted for the next 6 months. Another name to add to the list of Sally, Sue, Stingz and Ser Hui. It's Suzie now.
2 camera men gave me that name and they are the most chillax and fun people to be with. They're incredibly helpful as well. Giving me tips and advice and letting me listen on conversations. I love em eh. Whenever I try to help em with equipment, they say no, don't help. I said I got nothing to do ah. They told me, "Don't let people take advantage of you".
Lesson number 1 on Day 1.
I realised the work climate in my department, current affairs, is damnnn chilllll. Like I was freakin overdressed man. I wore my mom's office skirt lol lol. But anyway, yeah. I like it eh. The team was friendly as well. A few ex school mates who graduated already were working there as well but we haven't really talked yet.
But I wasn't really myself coz I read from somewhere that on the first day of work, try to keep it low and not crack too much jokes and stuff. I dunno, felt a bit strange like I couldn't fully express myself. But 6 months, I will acclimatise eventually. And I know this is damn juvenile and perhaps not very professional like, but I hope to make good friends from my workplace?!?! I feel like they're very nice people and if given time, I think can hang out one leh? I was told multiple times that I'm lucky coz it really is a happy team. And 6 months... I really hope something awesome comes out of it.
Initially I wasn't too sure. Too quick to judge. Coz after looking at all the newsrooms, I really wanted to have a go at news for a few months. But I'm in CA and they're 2 different departments. But actually production for CA looks to be pretty fun too! Hope I get a go at both lah and learn as much as I can. Don't really like what prod admin is about while in school, but I hope it's different in the real world lol (dream on). Even if it isn't, well, I guess, there's always a starting point ha.
Today's work was quite a bit. Went out to film and I had to get people to be interviewed. Damn, it really is difficult but I've been through it coz of my own school projects so no fear. : ) School does help prep you. Also, did some beauty takes well they call it beauty takes.. they're b-roll and overlap takes.
Ahhh.... it was a tiring first day and I hope I'll be kept busy for the rest of my stay there. I was one of the few interns there who was busy on the first day! The rest had nothing to do. So I'm glad. But tmr... I'm asked to report at 10am HAHAHA so it's like good leeway.
I saw SO MANY presenters it was kinda strange seeing them in real life. It really was quite thrilling at first to see so many of them. I shook Melanie Oliveiro's hand and told her I see her on tv and felt like a fan girl wahlau macam bimbo good Lord. Hope she wasn't rolling her eyes at the back of her head. Sigh. Hahaha, and I saw so many others it was quite insane. My colleagues (omg colleague really colleague?!) said they're kinda desensitised by them already. So I guess by the end of a few months, I won't be starstruck anymore. They really are just one of us.
I wish I wasn't so tired on my first day. I had a lillll bit of throbbing in my head prolly due to lack of sleep. Otherwise, I think I'd be so much more pro-active. And I was wearing a fitting skirt can't even sit however I want. ALL OUT TOMORROW, ALL OUT.
I'm really happy I got the internship of my century. Not yours but MY CENTURY hahahahahahha whatever that means but srsly I think I'm happy that I like doing this. And I want to look forward to work everyday despite the tiring hours. I slept like a log the whole way through in the bus back home.
I realise this is my true first test of work life. Like previously, it was just relief teaching and on-off sales jobs so not really counted? Let's see how it goes after today.
K see ya guys.
