Happy Birthday @zilch!

Happy Birthday Ser Young!

This year, with the generous help of your award-winning team, I’ve decided to put together a digital idea to celebrate your birthday this year. :)

This infographic was specially illustrated by Vivien Li Sian, who found great pleasure to be part of this surprise project, and who worked with me from Day 1 to conceptualise the design. Big thanks also to your amazing mom for sharing with me your childhood stories that made this infographic project so special.

You’ve inspired my life and the people around you with your tenacious spirit, your lameness (gawd, help me) and your love of all things design.

In fact, here are some of the things your team has to share with you on this special day:

Warren:

Blessed birthday, Ser Young! Like this infographic, you and Rach are amazingly cool: She’s amazingly cool, and you like infographics :P Hahaha. Sorry I can’t be as lame as you are, but it’s been great being colleagues and friends. Have a wonderful birthday!

Jason:

Happy Birthday Ze Zilch! It’s been awesome working with you + the lame jokes make it even better. Here’s to longevity, prosperity and wisdom. Now choose either – 5 Jager Bombs or 2 Flaming Lamborghinis.

Serene:

From college years till where we are now, it’s been such a wonderful thing to still have the opportunity to work together as college-mates to colleagues. You’ve grown by leaps and bounds, continue to uphold that kinda Zilch-ish Standard. Happy Birthday!

Eugene:

Someone is getting older and hopefully wiser, faster, stronger, lamer (jokes-wise), more patient & above all more loving to the wife. I’m pretty happy we brought you in even though at a time when we were actually more interested in finding a flash developer. Giving Integricity the chance to consider you has proven to be a great addition to the team. Happy Birthday Mr. Puah, may we have many more years of working together as a team.

Maz:

Happy Birthday, Ser Young! Looking forward to many more years of fun, lame jokes, friendship, late night football matches, Makan sessions, Biking (We should start it soon!!) and Chor tai tee.

Oli:

Happy birthday Mr. Lame! It’s been an eye-opener for me to see your design sense and solutions, and I think it’s really great that we have someone as passionate as you leading the design team to greater heights. Keep up the good work, keep pushing yourself further and go kick some ass!

YiJun:

Happy Birthday to our most-handsomest-art-director! I’m glad and lucky to have such a superior like you, passionate, willing to teach/share, funny and lame! (Always love to frightened your angels). May the years continue to be good to you, Happy Birthday again!

Dawn:

Hello Mr. Puah! It is a great pleasure to work with you throughout the year. So much happiness, frustrations, fun times, funny jokes, horror stories sessions, makan sessions, movie sessions and the list goes on and on and on and one and onnnnnn… Anyways, Happy Birthday Ah Young! Chicken Rice!

Sean:

OMG SER YOUNG. OLD DE. So… when you finally do read this, do know that I was ninja toggling my browser screen and writing this down while talking to you about Diablo 3 :p  Haha!

Man, I hate working with you because all you do is hate on my florals <3

But thankfully, we’re agreeably bound by many other elements (like hate for certain things LOL) that make working with you bearable, lol! Happy Birthday and here’s to many, many more amazing years of friendship! :D

p/s: Yes. That is indeed Comic Sans :D

Joann:

SIR Young! It has been an honour: sitting day-in-day-out before the chiseled glory of Integricity’s Most-Handsomest-Art-Director. Thy lame jokes have filled my mundane hours with constant “roll eyes”. Thy majesty’s prohibited altering & manipulation of my copy has intensified my IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome). Nevertheless, it has been an honour. Happy B’day, SIR!

Sarah:

Happy birthday, Ser Young! Your lameness never fails to brighten my day. May we have many more years of fellow Threadless-enabling and best of 5 chor-tai-ti sessions!

Sue Lin:

Hi “tai-ko” ser young, happy birthday!!! Best wishes on your birthday and throughout the coming year. I’m really really happy to work with you, you’ve enlightened me to push myself even further. Your lame jokes always, make my day better when I’m in stress or tense mode. (Agreed with Yi Jun, loved to frightened your angels – “Booo”). Happy B’day, ser ser young young!!!

Chien Chien:

Happy birthday ser young!

*italian-speaking-mode ON, the-serious-face.*

It’s great and I feel fortunate enough (consider this is my first official job) to have such passionate art director like you. Thanks for your guidance and all the sharings. May you have great year aheads and looking forward to work with you all ;-)

Yee Mun:

Dear Zilch, happy birthday! Thank you for inspiring me to reach higher, think harder, laugh longer. Thank you for all the T-shirt talk and more. :D

May the work of your hands be blessed always. So yes, happiest of birthdays to the Most Handsomest Art Director in Integricity. :)

P.S. A continuous stream of pug pictures will ensure a friendship for the ages. :P

Vivien Lee aka Zhu Zai:

Happy Birthday to The most HANDSOM Zhu La! I’m really lucky to have you as my ex art director! I remember when i first join Integricity, i have no knowledge on website and lack in confidence on my own design, after your effort and patient on guiding me on design, i now has improve a lot and working as freelance designer! Really appreciate your guidance! Happy birthday again! :D
