28 August, 2008 - Happy Day Part Two

Jfk dropped me at the Macdonald in Serangoon Gardens this morning. Meeting Edwin there for breakfast before going to 3M :)

Serangoon Gardens is so tranquil in the morning. As i sat outside Macdonald's waiting for Edwin, i noticed many retirees going about doing their business. Business meaant having breakfast leisurely at coffeeshops, bringing grandsons/granddaughter to pre-school, sipping kopi while reading the papers and sitting by the coffeeshop to hear birds chirping. MAN, this IS life.

In this coffeeshop that we had youtiao and nasi lemak (Rubes, Edwin ate the nasi lemak, not me keke but cos i ate youtiao, yam cake and ice milk tea..i was too full for more coffee) everyone was friendly. No stress makes one more smiley i guess. Imagine if one has to make many, many cups of kopi, tea or milo in the quickest manner at the shortest time, one would not be smiling so much. Having breakfast in a coffeeshop while it was raining is so cool it seems almost unreal that this is happening on a Thursday morning.

Next is to Agilent building to see 3M :) i am so excited that i am going to see Rubes and her workdesk as well as meet mr charming.

3M is very GLAM. I mean who else will have a mock up kitchen, a mock up workdesk full of post-its notes and scotch tapes, a mock up operations table, a mock up airplane seat, a mock up road, a mock up toilet and many other stuff. I AM IMPPRESSED lo..i feel like i just step into some typical american company. High ceiling, modern interior deco and spacious work desk. There is even a red (my favourite colour) retro looking wall as part of the discussion corner, complete with red arm chairs. My dream company :) i like the smell of their scotch tape.

The most magical thing is they have this tank full of liquid that looks like water but is not. It's non conductive and Yvonne submerge her handphone into the tank and we could still get through her phone!! There was "water" in her handphone after that but it evaporated in like 5 minutes!!! AMAZING!

Ok, i am being overly excited about this...but i can't help it.

Thank you :)
