First day of work

The logbook isn't working yet so i guess this entry is done just to present evidence that I started
work today? haha.anyway, wanna put down my thoughts too.everything!

(russell lee and Ms Peh may start reading from here till.....)

We took quite some time to settle down, cuz we had to wait till the person in charge arrived (he came after 9am i guess), startup our comps and connect it to the server. Anyway, we had more contact with Elsa, another art director, than Nic, the senior art director whom we were supposed to report to. But that's fine to me. no diff. Elsa told us to search for some images online for 2 campaigns that they were doing. One for AmbiPur and one for Sensodyne. We were halfway through comping the images when she said she just wanted the images, and many of them, so that she could choose. Then had some trouble printing them out on contact sheets cuz i set the resolution too high but she taught me and at least that was one thing i learned today. We spent almost the whole day doing this, and saw Justin once or twice or thrice but we did not talk. I guess he is a quiet guy and so am I. so....... =P
SO we did not show him our ideas. anyway he din seem too keen to talk to us. we are only interns. yup, so i will have to email him my ideas later and see what he says. if he does say anything. Nic saw our ideas but he did not comment on mine. I was busy with getting the printing right and left him alone to look through my ideas and when i turned around, he left already. whatever that means....hahaha.....
anyway we left at 730pm. i din feel really tired except that my eyes did hurt a bit from staring at the powerbook for so long. din feel that i really learnt anything yet. but the people were ok.quite nice. and there is a special staircase that leads to............the toilet.
we sat in an area which held the cutting board area, 2 ladies whom i guess are designers and admin? (oops...no offense just guessing) and pengpeng. was quite surprised that the space each staff had was so small, especially peng peng when he is the junior AD right.haha..
we had lunch at lau pa sat. sucked. still looking for any nearby organic shops.
i was hoping to be able to walk around the office, talking to people and asking if they needed help. but i din walk around a lot, and there wasn't really many people. when there were people, they seemed busy and those seniors were in their rooms with the doors closed so how to ask??
almost everyone was wearing jeans and tee shirt, casual wear, so ok la.
the toilet has nice graphics, except that the graphics are like patterns and repeated so was quite boring. anyway i went to the toilet i think 4 times. drank lots of water. i want to.
and something interesting! the 2 ladies sitting around us listen to Chinese music! around lunch time one of them turned the volume on lee hom's songs! and then later there were more chinese songs and then........Jay Chou!!!!! hahahahahaha.........
the music just broke the silence that made the whole place so sian.
Grey is a very corporate place. i dun feel the creative vibes at all. and we din even get to lunch with the people there. at first, that kept me wondering. then i guessed, oh well, we are new right. no shou2 wot.hah.
was unable to find any organic shops around shenton way. hmm...will keep finding....
anyway, after we got the images and printed them out, we waited to Elsa to finish her discussion so that we could submit them. so while we waited, quite a few of them left already and the place was quite quiet and nice, especially at the corner we were in. and we started to think of ideas. it was quite a nice short half and hour. the silence. the air con.nice. but ideas not really that nice yet.sigh.
ok.today wasn't really that hectic as i thought.but it's the first day only. hope to learn more stuff, get involved in brainstorming sessions? talk to more people. maybe should start with one first.hmmm...Elsa? i just can't stand facing the comp the whole day cooped up in the corner. i guess that's not what an intern shd do right...
hwee peng said there are briefs lying around everywhere and it is up to us to take them to do..hmmm...but i dun see briefs lying around and even if they were lying around, how would i know they are briefs that have to be done? ask? lol....a bit pai seh thou...try ok! =)
just dun like to waste time u see....
i wish hwee peng was around...

(ok.russell lee and Ms Peh may stop reading here.)

determined to lose weight.haha.
im eating green tea mooncake now.not nice. dun taste like mooncake.
ok la.nth else to say.

anyway, i do hope to stay at the office longer. go home so early for wot.
