We had a special brainstorming session last Wed. Divided into 5 teams, we were sent all over Singapore to gather inspiration, insights and materials which would be shared when we got back to the office in the afternoon.
My team was tasked to Sentosa so it was fantabulous! I haven't been to Sentosa since the last company dinner and dance there back in December 2006, and definitely never been since the new monorail opened sometime between then and now. So I was excited.
As it turned out expectedly, it was a fun-filled morning. It was fairly crowded since it's the school holidays and the crowd grew toward the afternoon as we prepared to leave for office. We managed to interview a few people who seemed very open to provide opinions in this sun-soaked, relaxed atmosphere compared to the perennial rush of the central business district on a mid-week day.
Students, as usual were the most obliging of them all. There's this hyper group that we spoke to and when we requested to have a photo taken of them, one of the girls went, "Pictures!! We love pictures!!!" and urged us to share the shot. Alas, my colleague had to be the photographer so I was the lucky one to have a place in this youthful energy-charged picture.
Ahhh ... how I miss those carefree days under the shades of the palms with feet in warm white sand on a mid-week day!
