TOA

TOA stands for Teh O Ais. My favourite drink ever.



TOA also stands for The One Academy! I'm a part-time lecturer there, teaching Multimedia subjects, working two days a week. It's nice to be a lecturer again. Kinda miss those APIIT days, with all the syllabus writing and meeting female students. Fun times.



Yup, this is the place. Very colourful, indeed. A design college, no doubt.



My workplace just HAD to be at the top-most floor! That's why the Multimedia lecturers in TOA are fit. I look forward to my future physique!



The doorway to an interactive experience you'll never forget!



And welcome to my turf! Yes, it's me in a pink shirt again. I happen to like pink shirts ok!



I have a workstation here to write all that syllabus and handout. Meanwhile, my new (ahem) Vaio showcases cute Japanese girls in Polo shirts dancing (check out the Uniqlock screensaver! http://www.uniqlock.jp). Work has never been more productive!



This is the supreme commander of the multimedia force, Sweii. Luckily, the white paper pasted beside the entrance blocks her view of me ogling at my screensaver.



I swear, I was in a hurry when I went for the photo shoot! Gah, wish I could retake, so I could suck in my cheeks a little more.



I was taking photos during Exploration Week, where no classes are held so students could laze around do research for their projects. But as you can see, the Actionscript class is actually a dark portal that leads to the abyss of one's own demise. Students, beware.



This is the classroom used for MMPS, where I listen to students presenting their work and giving them advice like "Oi, where's your mood board?!" and "Your website looks crappy!". Wahahaha, experience working in (if ) pays off right here!



Cheh, use name tag to enter classroom... Where are the palm and retina scanners?!



Due to my arrival, the Multimedia department had to extend the room so that they could put in the PS3, Xbox 360 and Wii rooms. Awwww guys, you don't have to!

(You DO know that I'm joking, right?!)

Wow look at that plain brown wall. Gives me an idea...



...to do a photo shoot! These are my close colleagues, mainly because we're on the same team that teaches Digital Media 2, the dreaded Actionscript class (dreaded by students, that is). Go go, actionscript force!



As you can see, Manmeng is the most unusual of the group.



I broke the silence in the room, "PEOPLE, PHOTO SHOOT!". Ah, nothing breaks ice like a nice little photo shoot!

If you take a close look at the above picture, it's like as if we're a team full of different personalities. Like some drama or anime group shot!



We might be different, but we laugh as a team!



I just wanted to take one group picture, but they took matters into their own hands!



But hey, I don't want to be left out either ;)

So far it's been an enjoyable experience working in The One. Hopefully there'll be more exciting moments to come.

The One Academy, yoroshiku onegaishimasu!
