One for the album...

This is definitely one for the memory book - during the recent media trips to distribute M&M'S®, one trip stands out in particular: Sin Chew.

Why? Because the doors to the offices at Sin Chew were only open on one side, and they were so small that M&M'S® Yellow (@ Shrek) got stuck and couldn’t make it into the offices! We spent a good 20 minutes waiting for the guard to come and unlock the 2nd half of the door just so he could get through. Caused quite a bit of commotion, I can tell ya.

But all’s well that ends well – the guard came along and let poor M&M'S® Yellow into the (thankfully air-conditioned) offices, and everything went swell after that. Yay!!

Bye Bye Bucketmouth

You can't imagine how painful it is to send him off :''( And there he goes, crying (while being made to have a big smile), "I wan't to stay!!" Poor Bucketmouth, he can't even express himself the way he wants to.

Bucketmouth came to our office, happily settled in for a nice, comfortable week. Everyone in the office adored him, praising him with words like Cute, Cute and Cute. Just as he got really comfortable with us, started to immerse with our fun culture, it was time to leave.

He said, he never wanted to be a bidding material. He said bidding doesn't allow him to determine his future. But being Bucketmouth, he never could. He tried accepting the fact he could be owned (and disowned) by anybody. Before he left, he said it again.

"I want to stay!!"

Now he's gone... God knows where he is now, who he belongs to.

Bucketmouth came along with tonnes of M&Ms, taking up the already limited space in our office. David & Beatrice were working on the M&Ms and Shrek 3 tie-up. There was a screening, some online bid, M&Ms giveaways and stuff. For a couple of weeks, our office became a chocolate warehouse. My snacks have only been limited to Nuts, or No Nuts.

So, he's gone... "I want to stay!!" That's the last I heard from him.

Believe me, Bucketmouth can talk! He whispered, "I just hope to stay besides Mama Ogre".

Go David!

A big 'Woohoo!!' goes out to David, who put Malaysia on the map for Profitable Growth at Text 100's Star Awards for Excellence recently. He's really set the bar for the rest of us (especially the newbies!)

If you're wondering why he's got a 'pottu' on his head (no it's not a pimple!), well, the host of the awards this year was...India. So let's charge our lassi-filled glasses and raise our pappadums - good on ya David, but watch your back - the rest of us will catch up next year!
