"Goodbye"
It was a somber day in the office as another colleague is leaving us for greener pastures. Our regional office is already so small (total 9 of us) and now it's gonna get even smaller, with the departure of PA and later the relocation of NC...
I had initiated the "Project RED Box" (a Tiffany pouch had already been given to her at a early farewell dinner at PS Cafe), as a final parting gift for PA. Idea was to get everyone to contribute a RED gift that represents himself/herself. In the end, I 'sacrifice' one of my Spiderman toy figurine that was on my office phone (Revisit: Where's Spidey?).
I had only wanted a small box initially but eventually had to get a bigger one as JM's gift was a book! In the end, we resorted to a RED box file from Popular. I cut and pasted a RED foam circumvex on the box cover, filled it with styrofoam balls and RED feathers, and buried all our gifts together with some of our corporate RED gifts underneath it. Viola, a RED treasure box in the end!!

And since we do not have a photo whereby all of us are present (somehow someone just had to be "missing" for some reasons), I had to resort to photoshoppin' SK into one of the photos. To complete the treasure box, I burned a CD filled with beautiful Swissôtel memories for PA to remember us always.

Video Link (Timbaland Remixed)
Video Link (Original Version)
Remixed by Timbaland and featured as the third single off the latter's album "Timbaland Presents: Shock Value", the remixed version has a completely different beat than the original version. Timbaland is heard in the background, somewhat sampling vocals similar to Nelly Furtado's "Say It Right". To-date, the track has already charted on Billboard Hot 100 and based on the heavy airplay, it looks set to break into the top 10!
Virtually only a number one band on the online community before their collaboration with Timbaland, OneRepublic is scheduled to release their self-titled debut album in late 2007. Off their debut album, "Apologize" will be released as a single in its original version, which is more soft-rock/pop but equally as awesome as Timbaland's r&b/hip-hop remix of the same song.
Be sure to check out the music video for "Apologize (Timbaland Remixed)"... you'll simply be addicted to the song thereafter. I know I did...
Dazzling Nite
State of Being : Cosy
Been so bz lately with my Jap trip preparation and some family issues that I haven't been blogging for quite some time.
Anw this entry is way overdue as the actual event already took place around 2 weeks ago on 11 Sep. As usual, the Corporate Office were invited as VIPs to SMC's Annual Dinner & Dance themed "Dazzling Nite".
And DAZZLING it definitely was. With performances put up by the various dept of the hotel, it was a joy watching the staffs' lively performances. From the grease inspired musical, to the dreamgirls act (didn't we see this at RC hotels Dinner & Dance also?), to the techno sexy babes dance rountine, and finally to the SMC fashion show, it was actually really FUN to watch!!!
Presenting SMC's
Sizzling Tina Turner, Sexy Belly Dancer & Hot Macy Gray?
