A 'Coffin' as Souvenir

Recently IBM had organised a seminar in One World Hotel and our company was invited. Since the seminar is about data-security, my supervisor sent me for it.

Actually the seminar does not compromising much. It just like those event I used to work for previously. i.e. Microsoft Tech Ed and SAP. It's a talk about their new IT solution.

I was given a file with some of the details about the products in it. And a small notepad after giving back the feedback form.

During the seminar, I saw this "coffin" (small wooden box) on the table. Each of the delegates was given one. It simply caught my attention and curiosity out of it.

It was given by the One World Hotel. What a weird box, don't you think so?

So I tried sliding it open and have a look what's in it. (Sound like opening the coffin to find out whose in it)

Ta da! It's a complete basic set of mini stationery.

Haha, so cute right the mini stapler? Lol. Not bad, even though the box is ugly.

In the evening, out of boredom I messaged one of my colleague. Apparently her nick name was 'cute cute' so I was trying to be sarcastic to her. The conversation goes like this...

Isaac: How cute are you to name yourself cute cute?
cute cute: Thank you.

*I was stoned for a while for hearing that answer... then I continued...*

Isaac: It was a question.
cute cute: Ya. :D

Isaac: ....

*I got so speechless. Either my sarcasm is not good enough or she just simply do not understand!*

Nevermind, after that I just ignored her and continued my work. What a day...
