Music is in heart of the Haus..


It is my 3rd day in the haus and as I think back to the last 2 days, in my memory there is endless laughter, different sounds and music.. The guys here love to suddenly start singing (sometimes screaming) at the top of lungs and make weird noises as they work which will just make you burst out laughing..

Teh loves chinese songs like the group Mayday and would sing along occasionally as he works.. Sometimes out of key but when you look at his I-know-I-look-silly-but-I'm-having-fun-so-I-don't-care face as he's singing, you can't help but laugh and feel like joining him too..

Zen loves Japanese songs and love to sing out of the blue as he types away at his laptop.. Sometimes Teh will join him although he probably isn't singing the same song and it is so much fun to just observe them as they sing together.. Zen will sometimes have this passionate-and-so-into-singing look with a bit of theatrical comedic look on his face as he sings louder and louder which is will always make me want to laugh and feel like clap along to give him encouragement..

I don't really know Chee Chiaw's music preferences as when there's music being played in the background at the Servicing Department to my memory is most of the time coming out from Teh's laptop or Zen's laptop.. But he would laugh and sometimes sing along with the other 2 "braders" in such a way that you can get that he's enjoying himself..

Come to the Creative Department and you'll have Mok with his passion for Malay songs.. ("Because their lyrics have meaning..") On my 1st day at the office, I was sitting in the Creative Department and Mok decided to give me an insight to what the company theme song is.. He then played a slow Malay ballad and started passionately singing along off-key with flowy hand movements.. I was at a lost whether to laugh or to hold it in when Chin Yong took one look at him and started blasting the rock song "脱掉" (The word in chinese is "take off" for clothes..) by Alex To before grinning at the already "ter-potong steam" Mok who had a =.= look on his face.. The 2 then proceeded to have a competition of who can blast the loudest by jamming the "Increase Volume" button on their Macs.. By then, I was already laughing my head off..

Last but certainly not least would be Joescher.. Joescher loves to sing and I do mean LOVE to sing.. He sings a lot of chinese songs and his voice can be heard as he walks around the office doing his work while singing loudly with such a look of enjoyment on his face..

As for Sharon and I, we would sit and watch all of them with a smile on our face.. Sometimes even shaking our heads while laughing..

So.. From my observation of CC+J from the last 2 days, I have come to the conclusion that music is indeed in the heart of the CC+J Adhaus.. And therefore I end this post with a note that all is good and well in CC+J, where fun, music and laughter is mixed into the process of making brands famous.. :D
