This then reduced to 4 in September 2004 with the departure of Tai Tai Sim:
These were fun times indeed! I remember one incident where Baby Huang (in blue floral baby dall top) and I were staying back late preparing for an event. I remember I was leaving for Bangkok the next day. Gatsby had left the office for the day to go meet her friends and pick up tickets for a concert she was going to watch. The boss called Gatsby when she had already reached town and demanded that she to return to rush out the stack of invite letters to the guests of our event. Man! I've never seen Gatsby so darn mad in her life. Baby Huang and I stayed back till 11pm to help her out with it. It was late, we were tired, but it was truly a special night.
Joanna left us towards the end of 2004, so it was just myself, Gatsby and Baby Huang:
Baby Huang left to become superwoman so Gatsby and myself kept the department afloat for a good 3 months! A welcomed addition of Emily the Strange and Lianster mid this year brought the count back up to 4:
After a month, The Lianster left to go write fun stories and it was Gatsby, Emily the Strange and myself for 3 weeks :
Having the Lianster around for a month was good fun, and it was nice to have some testosterone to balance out the estrogen overload in our single sexed office. Emily the Strange and Lianster bonded really well with Gatsby and myself and the 4 of us made a good team. Once, before an outreach event, we were holed up in a smallish room repacking collaterals...and right next to No.2's office. It was heaps of fun as we entertained each other with dry jokes and old skool songs.
Emily the Strange left to take over the world, so it was back to Gatsby and myself:
Gatsby recently got a huge opportunity to help tell people things on TeeVee so she left last month. I have thus been by my own since then.
Goodbye Comms team! It's been one heck of a ride!
