[note: wow..i reali took way too long to update this travelogue of mine... i must up my gear!! before i forget all i have done. :P ]
I woke up suddenly thinking of wat the time is! i looked into my mobile phone and there it appears 9.30am! arrgghz, i jumped and i thought to myself: oh no! im late..im suppose to meet MK at 8.30am at the hotel lobby! how come she did not contact me, i thought. nvm about that, i just got up and get changed as fast as i could and quickly went to the hotel lobby to meet up with her... but, when i got to the hotel lobby, she wasnt there.. nobody was waiting there. surprised... i smsed her to say that im at the hotel lobby waiting for her. after a while, she replied. she will be there about 20 to 30min's time. oh man, i thought, she's even later than me and she didnt even bother to sms me that she will be late... oh well...
abt half an hour later, i saw her and i got into her car. while on the car, she suddenly said," oh, do u noe that ydae was the starting of our daylight saving?" i was like.. whats that? never heard that in my whole life. she said, the clock sort of went back an hour yesterday cos is winter time in Orlando now. and she said, "no wonder u texted me so early.. i was thinking maybe u r just excited.. " it was then that i realised. ha.. so no wonder she din reach on time and no wonder she din tell me she's cmg late. cos she wasnt at all. so i wasnt late too. haha.. so confusing...
anyway, she brought me to a breakfast place to have breakfast. we chatted a little bit. im not sure if she reali understood me with my kind of Singapore-accented English... i think we missed each other a bit here n there, and ended up with polite giggles and such.
i went into the office about 10am their time... was introduced around in the office. it is huge! the whole office is more like a factory size kind of office. i guessed all offices in america is lidat, or at least in orlando. nice & spacious and simply furnished.
The Orlando Office
was greeted by this when i entered by the back door
i was introduced to many people and walked around the building and departments. those more related to me were:-
Brad Bradland - the person in charge of the mailout and impact magazine designs.
Alex - the person in charge of all the CfaN photos. also the photo editor.
Chris Coleman - not reali reali related but someone i will work with - he is in charge of the web area
MK - the one who picked me up from work - she's the copywriter and DonorOne systems person
and the designers of cos - Jacqueline, and 2 more whom i suddenly forgot their names... v cool ppl with v cool office.
MK, the pretty ger, and me...
Jacqueline, one of the designers and me
Brad, the red head guy and me...
the office is huge and i nearly got lost the 1st few times i was walking around. haha. will post up the photos as the days go by...
so, the whole day was mtg with Brad. he talked to me about the mailouts and the Impact Magazines.. some history and some SOP.
after lunch, it was mtg with MK whom spoke to me about taglines and the copywriting stuff. she wrote most the things in the office. reviews and all.
and then, it was introducing myself again in the designer's office and intro to some of the stuff they did... well, thats about the day and i got chauffeured back to hotel which is only abt 15min drive away. their operatng hours as which i found out was 8.30am to 5pm. quite nice timing.
anyway, night came.. rested, dined, bathed, watch youtube and then i found myself hvg so much free time! is only like 8pm... so went to the florida mall connected to the hotel.. and walked till abt 9pm. so early... i hv no idea wat i shld do too... haha...
