First thing first! I finally ORD!!! yea, I am an official NSmen on the 14/11/2006. This was also the same day, I started my journey into the life of a creative. Hahaha. Started for almost a week at JWT. I am attached to JIMMY NEO head of design. Hes an awesome dude who shows no arrogance,and pack with tons of agency experince. Am honoured to be working under his supervision. A little background about this cool fella, he started out his career at Saatchi&Saatchi SG, but before that he was torn between having to choose BATEY/REDCELL or Saatchis, cause at that moment both were offereing him a position after his grad. In the end he choose Saatchis after advice from current ECD Mccan Erickson SG but soon Bateys NG TIAN IT. After which he spend another 1 year at DDB SG and then was offered to work at Saatchi&Saatchi Beijing for 3 years before landing back in SG early this year, to head JWT's BTL section, just stepping in to JWTs sg office he has already gunned down a couple of awards for his ambient and print ad at both CCA and SOOA. Seeing the winning streaks that they are having, I can't help to also contribute a little of something.
The winning work.




For the anti smoking campagin. Bronze at SOOA.

Well a little more to add about Jimmy is that hes the trendiest guy in JWT spotting all the luxurious labelled apparels on him from prada to gucci to Commes Des Garcon to omega watches.*faint* Next comes ericka choo the copywriter from the BTL team, well a really cute ger who loves boozing and smoking so much that she falls sick if she dosen't booze for a day. Hahaha Amazing rite! Well I thought so too. Work for me dosen't seem to be too hectic. But this dosen't signify that JWT has got no job. Jobs were coming in, every creative(ART DIRECTORS)in the office were like each tending to 3 - 4 job files a day for each of their respective client they are servicing. Well to all those Creatives there I only have one word for them "AWESOME".

Had the opportunity to shake the hands of ANG SHENG JIN who won the new art director of the year 2005 as well as ELISA TAN new art director of the year 2006. How cool is that. Both were house under 1 of the hottest agency in Singapore at the moment everyones an award winner there. Well I felt so honoured to be able to be in there!(hahaa)

Well I am currently working on a name card for a photographer which I can't disclose it now.(just a hint a famous commercial photographer in sg) Hope I can add em into my portfolio after its been done! haha...prior to that was working on the women cycling team project with Jimmy. Had the opportunity to drop by the DI house with Jimmy to look at the stuff, woa that was and great learning experince, were treated like guest there, the admin there got us drinks and stuff. Cool! Saw Adrian at Shutterbug, cause the DI house and photo studio are linked awesome yea! But the place they are situated at sucks. Met Hon the famous photographer in Shutterbug, did many shoots for many agencies. Jimmy says hes a nice fella who takes care of green horn creatives. Jimmy was so welcomed there, everyone there showed him the love man, just like an old friend there probably due to his very friendly personality, thats what I also have got to learn from him being cool. Awesome!! So much to blog about my short 4 days there but I know some things are meant to keep a mum which you guys have just got to go imagine it yourself.

Well got a few photos of my intern table. Hahaha....wish I could be working there full time, its like my dream office with my dream task and stuff...Will treasure every min spend at JWT & my jim gang in the creative dept.
Am still waiting for my own computer in the office, every art director there is using a G5 I hope I get 1 too. Cause I was given an emac on the first day, which is for copywriters. Damn!


The award shelf at the recept. Well they had tons more in the creative dept. Hahaha and on the other side of the wall. Apart from the 2 big gong.


Well a pic of me at my desk, with tons of refrence book. Had the opportunity to look at books that I wasn't able to afford in the office, and lots of other magazines and ad catalogues that were never release to the public. Cool.


The poster I adore most in JWT. Haha. The words are meaningful.


The shit as I am working on some stuff, lots of sketching lots of brainstorming and lots of writing.


More updates to come!! Cheers!
