sTuCk iN tHe LiFt *gasp*

CH, MOA and YM were stuck in Lift 16U after lunch this afternoon.. we were stuck in there, at level 31, for 30 bloody minutes! (from 230pm to 3pm) slight breathing difficulties started about 10 minutes after the lift stopped operating.. getting worse at time ticks away...

we tried 'intercom-ing' 'someone out there' to get us out, but replies we received were only "we're getting the technician now, please hang on for a while" or "just a minute more, the technician is resetting the lift system" or "technician is on his way (another lady in the lift exclaimed "What?! still on his way?" hearing this comment) just a minute more.." or "about 5 to 10minutes wait, sorry ar, we're getting someone to rescue you out"

well, we did get out eventually, not very happy with the event.. hmmm, mayb we can buy 4D or toto lar, with the numbers... *ponders*

Cheers,
Chuanhui

Desktopower Newsletter #1 <2008 DTP R&R Executive Committee>

Dear Desktopowers,

Welcome to the 1st and maybe the ONLY issue of DTP R&R Executive Committee Newsletter. =P

Earlier this year, the 2007 DTP R&R Executive Committee held an annual meeting, to reflect and discuss on various matters concerning Desktopower’s well-being. The impending need for recruitment has been neglected until now. In this issue of the Desktopower Newsletter, we are very glad to inform you that we have a few new members in the DTP R&R Executive Committee. In addition to these new members, we also have some changes in the designation of existing members.

Note: All candidates are carefully handpicked and approved by Esther, our head-nodding President.

New members

Deslyn - Creative Director
Some background on Deslyn: Although she is far away in DP, she still misses us (How do we know? Check out the frequent lunch breaks, tea breaks, toilet breaks etc she has with us!). Well equipped with a dunno-how-many-times-zoom semi-pro Olympus camera and highly regarded for her efficiency and skills in creating videos, she is just the right person to be our Creative director. Molly will step down to assist her as the Assistant Creative director.

XiaoLei – Programme Manager
Some background on XiaoLei: An individual with lots of creative ideas (gift wrapping, on-leave table pranks) and skills (bbq-ing food, cutting the huge watermelon at chalet), she’s one not to be missed as part of the programme team! Definitely a budding organizer for DTP’s activities, we will be looking forward to a fun-filled 2008!

MeiXin – Programme Manager
Some background on MeiXin: She has made an impression with her famous quote; “When you take a photo, saying the word ‘sex’ gives a natural smile”. A spontaneous lady who enjoys playing pool and bowling, wears shades to lunches, we are sure she has much up her sleeves, waiting for opportunities to showcase her ideas. Well, now she’s got the golden opportunity!

MinMin – Programme Manager
Some background on MinMin: Hailing all the way from Larkin, JB, Malaysia, she is definitely the best person to look for, if you need directions to JB. Our lobang queen cum translator in Malaysia, should DTP decide to take a weekend break in Malaysia. Armed with her hippy "Your phone is ringing, Your phone is rrringing, Your phone is rrrrrrrringing" ringtone, help is only a phonecall away should you need help in Malaysia. (update: she is crowned dancing queen of DTP after that crazy night @ 'Las Vegas')

Molly – Public Relations Officer
Some background on Molly: Well versed in many languages (english, thai, japanese, korean, mandarin), a linguist in the department. Also known for her playful and out-going nature, she is the most-deserving person to take over as our official Emcee, after siao-ding-dong Disi left the company. *LOL

New designation

Molly – Assistant Creative Director
Although she has been an outstanding Creative Director, she has even more than amply displayed her potential as a Public Relations Officer. Moreover, our dear Deslyn who recently invested in a semi-pro camera seems ready to take on the role.

YingChyi – External Relations Officer
According to LobbyMan 2007/ Chairman 2008, YingChyi failed to exercise the role of and External Relations Manger beyond the field of Desktopowers Alumni. She has rejected work delegated to her in 2007, much to LobbyMan 2007/ Chairman 2008 disappointment. We hope the new designation will be a source of motivation for her this year! All the best, YingChyi!

Yong Min – From Chairman to StoolMan to FloorMan to LobbyMan and self-appointed Chairman(again) this year.
Look at the number of times Yong Min changed titles in 2007. Now we know how many mistakes he had made eh? Simply because the rank cannot go any lower, we shall allow him to be Chairman(again) in 2008. Last chance for you!

****************************
