eye-opener
Today's highlight of the day is the group photo-taking of all the award recipients. It was a very interesting session. The objective was just to take a group photo of all the recipients in a casual interactive manner and a informal group shot for the company's annual report. The whole thing took over an hour and they shot over a hundred photos! We had to keep posing as if naturally chatting, and they didn't even take individual portrait photos.
Now I know why models are paid so much and why their faces are always so serious, because it's easier to take a serious shot than to keep smiling and have your face cramp up after a while. Nice to be a model for a day eh?
Still it was an opportunity to get to know the other recipients. I found out there are actually 16 of us, not the 9 that was initially reported. But who am I to complain? It is a good deal! The award wasn't easy to get as well with over two hundred shortlisted.
So almost everyone from my psychometric group got in, and I found out that everyone is from a JC and all seem to be doing a double-degree or double major with impressive accolades on their portfolio, but I don't think I did too shabbily myself. Suddenly there's so much more at stake.
But the photo-taking session was an eye-opener. I finally meet my fellow recipients and we exchanged contact numbers. I don't expect us to be friends immediately after meeting for the first time, and after all that, people just left. We'll be seeing each other again soon for the award ceremony. Now, that will be a far grander event with more fanfare.
