gracie + minger = gingerbeen busy today. yes, busy! really busy! hey don't gimme that skeptical look ok! :) yes, i was truly busy today, running around making sure everything's in place for tomorrow's staff seminar. for the first time, i've been put to charge the logistics setup for events. very interesting task, even though there's loads of administrative work to do.
after a full day of running around, i finally settled in my office~ comfortable room with air conditioning and nice music. it was time to check my office mails. i won't say it's flooded, but my eyes widened when i read this email. it started with:
"Hi Ginger, i received it. thanks"
and i'm like~ who's Ginger? me? :) i thought for a moment and i grinned hard. this is the equation for my name:
gracie + minger = Ginger!!!
ooh~ my new name eh? ahahahaa....
oh yar, another thing that made me smiled loads today. gota know anne and teck over lunch. had crappy conversations with them. thanks to teck! man he's funny! one look at him and you'd know he's a VSC designer. put him in a crowd in Orchard Rd and you'd notice him immediately. his dressing and hairstyle is unique to him and him only. he's a famous suan-ner! he was suanning me through the entire lunch. so sickening!!~i couldn't rebut!
i first met him at Director's office. we went up to meet the Director 2 wks ago. i'll call our Director as D for now. D is very nice. he invited us to his office and we had a short chat with him. D shook our hands and said: "welcome to TP Design! i really don't know what to say, but welcome!" almost abruptly, teck with a fake funny accent and said: "well, you can say..." then changed a low deep bass tone: "WELCOME" man!! that was funny! we all laughed. then D said: "see! this is what we do to our students! we damage their brains!" and i responded: "yes! i'm looking forward to being damaged!!!" :)
and yes, i'm happy working here! people here are fun to work with and like i said, i'm looking forward to the damages! haha~ over here, people aren't so concerned about corporate dressing. in fact, everyone's dressed differently! you could be in mo-hawk hairstyle with cool army boots and coat. you could also be in jeans and t-shirt. i was surprised that some of the course managers and lecturers here look like Poly students!! anyway, i'm looking forward to the start of school next week!! it seems like i'm going back to school life! hee, i'm looking forward to seeing design students with weird dress styles and hairdos :) and i feel so much younger too, having to mix around with younger people now! yeh!
