OK, listen up. I don't have all day here, so I am gonna make this fast!
Summarizing the 9 weeks at the 8TV Quickie have been hectic, but amazing. And yes, it is a casual working environment whereby everyone has a say in everything, despite the hierarchy.
You also never know when you are going to have to hit the One Utama shopping mall, approach strangers and try to delve inside their minds. Now, I am confident to be able to approach anyone, and asking them anything, without even blushing the slightest bit.

Although I have to be honest; while I was ready for a challenge, I did not realize just how much work goes into cating a 15 minutes variety show and how many exciting events randomly materialize.
For example, you never know when you are going to be whisked away to a adventurous location (I went to Skytrex for a shoot!). Awesome experience where the park was exclusively open for us =D, no waiting, no line!
To help my learning experience, Kumar, the Editor, Arnold, the Assistant Producer and Khairul, the Producer, have been extremely patient with my never-ending questions.
Of course, Saasha has been a great emotional support. Not forgetting, Amin who introduced me to Final Cut Pro, Helmi who we climbed mountains and flew on air together. Asman whois always helpful with my requestsss.
Izza who scan through hundreds of resume and found mine to fit into the Quickie team. Pet has been a good role model being the only girl left in the team since Shaz moved to Showdown. And, Shaz, my first encounter and teacher in handling camera and I still remember my role as an ASD (Assistant Studio Director)!
I have loved the experience and it is a perfect learning platform for anyone who wants to venture into production line.
