TC: Top Combine

China's jumping on the boyband-wagon? This new group looks set to be the first Chinese Shinhwa-like band ... haha ... especially when one of the members is Korean! The other four are former contestants of 快乐男声 (the male version of talentshow Supergirl).

Kinda exciting ... anxious to hear what they are capable of especially when I'm friends with the cousin of one of them (马雪阳 - can't tell from the poster pix cuz it's so highly stylised!! Think it's the one in the centre?) heh heh ... I still dig boybands can? :P

Went to the airport for a ride home on No. 27. Had an intense urge of flying up the escalator to the departure hall, get a ticket and board a plane.

To somewhere. Anywhere. Impromptu.

Hehe ... that'll be fun. Totally kewl.

Maybe that's why my passport's in my bag all the time.

In awe of UX

Really. My UX team leader, DA, opened my eyes to what UX truly is. What communication to, and with designers really is. How he shrunk a whole chunk of text to a few pictures and some words, and still conveying the intended message.

I've got loads to learn. Gambatte! 加油!

Homecoming gift ...

So Weijie went back to Indonesia with his wife to visit his in-laws. In today's volatile economy, we figured that he shouldn't be gone too many days without catching up on Singapore news.

So ... \(^_^)/

I sooooo WANT this!

New old colleague

A new colleague who's an old colleague, WL, joined the company today. Haha ...

The gang initiated her in a couple of "stunning" ways (of coz pre-planned on Tue to perfection!) ... hehe ... she's quite literally stunned! First, we got her into the conference room to present her portfolio to the gang. Then, one by one, they left the room, till only LG and me who were her old colleagues left in the room. WL was quite perplexed but continued her presentation cuz despite having worked together previously, we didn't see everything that she was capable of.

Then, the gang reappeared with a cake and a birthday song!! Haha ... WL has to tell everyone that it's not her birthday and we looked at LG accusingly cuz he had 'told' us it was her birthday. So WL played along for a while ... cut the cake ... thanked us again and reminded us it wasn't her birthday.

The presentation continued and when it's over, WL got a second (or is it thir? :) round of shock. Her desk was covered in Post-It notes and a beautifully-packed bag of stationery (that all newcomers would receive from HR) which she thought was from us ... hehe ... hailing from her ex-company (mine too!) it's no wonder she thought that way! There's a card attached which said "We know it's not your birthday but we love having you here anyway."

Awwwwww ... she knew it's a prank ... but ain't we sweet? \(^_^)/

WALL-E Inspired

WALL-E has inspired creativity in fans! Some of these are pretty well done \(^_^)/

MUST WATCH: Get to know your WALL-E robots in "Lots of Bots" ... hehe ... really nice piece from the making of the movie.

Oh ... I made a boo-boo about the "hold hands" musical clip ... it's not Julie Andrews but Barbara Streisand! Whoa ... thot Streisand's, well, not too pretty but she looked ok in film so it never struck me at all that it was her indeed ... haha. The film's "Hello, Dolly" by Gene Kelly.

Lots of Bots!
