Lemon Sky Animation Intern 2014 Christmas Trip

This is our Christmas trip and farewell for 4 of us that'll leave on 1st January, going back to Indonesia :'( sooo sad we have to see them home earlier than us. Because 7 of us decided to extend the contract as Lemon Sky Animation Intern. The rest will going back on 2nd February 2015 :'D. So here's our trip to KLCC (again) :

There's funny story though, one of our friend here (the one in red liverpool shirt) got separated and he had no phone to called. Everyone looking for him but we still have time to take groupfie LOL (sorry Tito we really looking for you everywhere).

Then we just knew from him that he already went back home after quite some time looking for him. Tito you're a pantek. Then we took our time to explore bukit bintang more :

There's a market full with snacks and foods :D #drooling the place is so crowded with people though, and i can't resist to buy a pack of jackfruits (nangka). You can't imagine how much people around, i will upload the picture later about a sea of human in KLCC mall :p

Journey to Malaysia (Part2 - Bukit Bintang and Twin Tower)

29th September 2014, we arrived in Malaysia. Karen and Sue (Suzzlina) picked up us in KLIA (Kuala Lumpur International Airport) by 2 cars. It took us about an hour and half to reach Symphony House (our office). After we arrived, they showed us the condominium where we stay for 4 months, Puncak Seri Kelana Jaya.

Because the Condominium is just the opposite of Symphony House (the building name where Lemon Sky is), we just need to walk there. Should be careful tho, cars are driving fast here, feels like the driver want to hit somebody -lol. Cars are everywhere and motorcycle are not much, unlike in Indonesia who riders rule the road.

 

Then we stayed in Ryan, Jaka and Te's unit, temporary. Because we can't occupied our room until October 2nd. The boys sleep in the livingroom while the girl staying in other unit. Ryan, Jaka and Te are our workmates, Ryan is a Lead Animator and Jaka is Animation Supervisor at Lemon Sky. Thanks for those two and all fellow Lemon Sky animator we learn a lot!

We stay in part of Malaysia that not so crowded i think, like BSD. Before our first day on the job, we walk around and enjoy Malaysia.

We learn to travel in MRT, which the ticket is a blue coin (looks like mineral water's cap) with RAPIDKL written on it. We need to tap the coin when we want to ride the train then insert it when we go out.

We went to Bukit Bintang and KLCC that day, forgot how much station passed to reach KL Sentral. Then we took LRT to reach Bukit Bintang. Bukit Bintang is a large area of shopping district i think. There's one huge mall that we visited there, Pavillion, not so fancy because it is just a mall yeah i know mall is everywhere. At least they speak Malay not Indonesian there -lol.

This is my first time go overseas FYI, so KLCC is a tourism object for me, that i think i should take a picture with -don't laugh at me i know it's so mainstream lol. We roam around too long in Bukit Bintang, then it already night when we came to KLCC. And it's best to come when it night because the Twin Tower looked so bright and cool - i know it looks like an image straight from google lol.

Then we went back to Condo and arrived at Kelana Jaya MRT Station 11 PM i think, fortunately the public bus still operated. So we ride bus rather than getting 3 taxis for all of us. Because i heard taxi in Malaysia will charge you double after midnight. It was a fun first trip, and we will continue the story in next part where the Animation Study Journey never stop! :D

Journey to Malaysia (Part1)

Hello, I want to share to all of you about my internship to Malaysia. This is part ONE of my journey. In this first part i want to tell you about how i ended in Malaysia. So let the story begin :D

How i ended in Malaysia? Well it was my friend Budi tell me that i should go to Malaysia and apply for intern to Lemon Sky. I knew about Lemon Sky about a year ago, when i saw their facebook page and knowing people i be friend with got intern there. There's nothing about Animation they were working on got displayed. Only the promotional project. I was curious you know, knowing it's an international project it must be good. So i asked him a lot of questions about Malaysia, how the work, the life, the expenses, etc. You may ask me for infos too, just add my line czacaesar and i will tell you everything. I will give another tips too, maybe in the next post. Knowing the potential of the work or for your career is good, i decided to build my portfolio to apply.

I was among the first batch who applied. I have to wait about a month to get the interview with miss Syazmeen from Lemon Sky, and i was back in my hometown Bali when they ask me for interview. So i had a Skype interview and she told me i got accepted and have to fill some forms to get working Visa in Malaysia. When i knew all of my friends who will join me to Malaysia, we made contact to prepare about the tickets and all other things. Then we decided to fly to Malaysia on 29th September 2014. Unfortunately, they can't get our condo prepared by the day. So we have to stay at Ryan, Jaka, and Teh's condo (the Lemon Sky regular) for awhile. This is my first time to go overseas, of course i got excited and all :D I'll provided the photos and will continue the story in the next post!
