The casual environment definitely helps. Everyone's turned the work mode off and let their hair loose for some relaxing times. Definitely friendlier, more approachable...some even shared personal info like family stuff, pet stuff, etc..nice. Maybe the horns are saved for the office ;) True, true.

Usually when I am introduced to my new colleagues, I am juggling trying to appear professional and approachable at the same time, you know, handshake must be firm, English must be perfect, direct eye to eye contact, but smile sweetly lah. Ha ha, I know that I overkill on the fussiness and OCD for the first few months, before I loosen up. Looks like the casual environment helps?

Especially the foreign names. Such tongue twisters! Then as the evening wore on, as our wine glasses were refilled, as casual conversations flowed along...I caught some names here and there. By the time I left 1 hr later (had to leave early for yet another concall), I was able to tag a name to the each of the faces already. *kembang* Thing is, there are MORE new faces to meet tonite for dinner. Hopefully, I will remember them all. Actually, it's not so much the names that are hard to remember but their roles in the organisation. This dude is the Regional Comodity Manager, that dude is the Australia Account Manager, the one at the corner is the Returns Manager, etc.....woohhh!!!
