Friday of week 2 - Mooncake Festival
This officially marks my second week working at Triumph. So much has happened I don't even know if I can write it all out! I've been up to my neck with work that I don't even have time to tweet now. I bet I only use 2 hours a day on internet. It sucks cuz I feel disconnected from my social groups, and it doesn't help how I'm stuck in an office building for 8-14 hours per day. The building isn't too bad though, it has it's perks! So does the people I work with - they're both fun and pressurizing.
This monday we held a casting session with models from mannequin and looque for the F1 fashion show. Hot faces overload. Stick thin girls, busty women, suave guys. Ahhhhh the korean dude was my favourite. His body was real goooood especially his spine curve.

On tuesday us 4 interns did our first OT. until 10pm. I don't even remember what we were d- ahhhhh i remember now, embellishing the red lingerie set.Um...... Man I don't remember anything else
Today/friday/mooncake festival day we were forced to learn a zumba dance and to perform for the celebration.......My god. OL colleagues came to our room and asked everyone to go. They might've came in over 3 times. "They want all females to fall in at the conference room, dance instructor is here." Don't forget the cold harsh tones.
I was dreading this because even though I used to dance, I really had a lot of work that I couldn't pause. I was halfway through draping and sewing a long skirt. Wtf.Then here comes the part I was most angsty over. This woman, that asked us to go over to the dance room was sitting in her cubicle. On the way to the room, I realize that most of these asshole OLs are just..... casually doing their work. What-the-fuck. I SERIOUSLY thought everyone was supposed to participate.During dance practise break I went up to that woman who asked ALL FEMALES to bloody fall in and I asked her, "Hey are you not dancing?" She asked me to repeat so I said Are you not participating in the dance?
And she said she wasn't, because she's too busy. Shit you, our team is the busiest ones here. The fashion show is a week away, we've got only half the shit done, and you can be sitting there chatting to children clicking away at your keyboard anD ASKING US INTERNS TO GO DANCE. WE HAVE SO MUCH WORK TO DO.........The dancers ended up becoming only our team and some higher ups. I had a feeling that everyone made us participate the dance to ridicule us. Why us only? Fuck youuuuuu. Shini (ma gang leader) was also saying aiya ok
Well that was written ages ago.
The work had gotten harder, we did 2-3 model castings, a fitting and a walking rehearsal. The adrenaline's passed, the hype's gone too. The show's now over.
It was a great learning experience. Never expected myself to become something almost like an in-house fashion designer when I applied for this job. Many of the pieces on the catwalk were embellished/sewn by me! Real proud. Lifestyle Asia has posted great pictures of the fashion show's night. Let me just throw relevant ones here aye.
made these two grey mesh skirts!
the material was so hard to sew, twas the bane of my existence
made these scarves too! there are two of each. not very proud of the thin scarf but it's okay.
beside her is Hose and Michelle, the two most well-liked models of the model line up. Some of the models were bitches way out of what I thought bitches would be. Pretty damn mean, but I wouldn't expect any less of this industry.
(View all images hi-res here)
I didn't post many of the pictures but do look through! Beatrice and I embellished the back of the red velvet cape with a gorgeous forest of peacock feathers, but sadly I haven't seen any official photos of it back view. :(
The higher ups were really pleased with our performance throughout the 3 weeks and wanted us back for an internship. Aww, real sweet. If I had a choice, I wouldn't though, only because I want to do something more hands on/design centric. if i do go back for an internship, all i'd be doing is reports after reports. Then some scanning and maybe a meeting or two.
Oh well! Been a good September, producing this show, starting from scratch! If not for is I doubt there would be this much bling on the lingerie pieces and that may props and styling accessories.
Happy that I've got to be a part of this!!!
Thank you triumph, valisere, HOM,
Dhillon, Rachel, Mikeller, Elaine,
Beatrice, Melissa, Jasmine
and most of all Shini!
Now, back to hibernation.
