New Fanatics In The House

In the past month or so, we’ve had six new people join the Integricity family — yes, SIX! How awesome is that! A blend of skills and personalities hailing from all around – from the food haven way up north of Peninsular Malaysia, to the land of cendol and chicken rice balls, to the tropical islands of the Philippines, we’re thrilled to have these new additions.

Now, everyone who joins Integricity has hidden superpowers. Read on as they share about their experience here, and answer the dreaded question: “Have you put on weight since you got here?” ;D

From the Integricity Interactive team…

Alex Liew Developer

What’s your Superpower? I develop Flash and Web applications.

How do you find your first few weeks here? I feel like a part of the team, and I can work with the rest very well.

What do you like best about the Integricity family? The food that my colleagues introduce to me.

Have you put on weight since? No, because I’m on my diet plan. HEHE

Pang Su Yen Intern (Designer)

What’s your Superpower? I design with Photoshop and Illustrator by my side =)

How do you find your first few weeks here? I wake up with anticipation to get to work every morning, I love being part of the Interactive team, learning along the way and I’m counting my working days upwards!

What do you like best about the Integricity family? The very people that make up Integricity. We work hard, discuss what we’re having for lunch on chatgroup, tease everything under the sun and are always there, willing to help =)

Have you put on weight since? I usually bring my own meals- that’s when they came out with this term AEIOU (Always Eat In Office, Understand?) but I am eating so much more now. more GOOD food. Put on weight? I know I will in time to come. keke

Thum Yee Mun Copywriter

What’s your Superpower? Magically finishing copy five minutes before my deadline.

How do you find your first few weeks here? A whirlwind of food, and words, and Internet humour, and cat links, and Super Rings, and Apple fangirling. Oh, and writing of course. Loving it! I’m learning to say a lot in a little. And when not to say anything at all too.

What do you like best about the Integricity family? I love that the Integricity family is committed to doing their very best all the time, no matter the job or client. And they do it while having lots of fun. It’s their spirit of excellence that spurs me to do my very best too! :)

Have you put on weight since? I’m known to love food too. So Integricity complements my lifestyle. HAHA. And weight? What weight? (*fiddles thumbs and looks extremely innocent*)

Vivien Lee Designer

What’s your Superpower? I’m learning from my seniors, trying to forget what I learned in college (’cause its too outdated!)

How do you find your first few weeks here? Hmm… stress and stress and stress – but I’ve learned a lot, and i enjoy learning. I like the environment here very much, the colleagues are really friendly!

What do you like best about the Integricity family? The people here are the best! The pantry is the best!

Have you put on weight since? Nope in the meantime, but soon!

From the Integricity Technology team…

Joy Alma Gan Admin Executive

What’s your Superpower? I am the Kali of Integricity Technology, having to assist 4 guys! (Kali is the Hindu goddess with many hands)

How do you find your first few weeks here? VERY INTERESTING. This is actually very different from what I was doing previously. I used to deal with sick people, but now I deal with computers. =)

What do you like best about the Integricity family? Very friendly, and I really feel comfortable with them, especially the bosses. They are down-to-earth people.

Have you put on weight since? Aaargh…I hate to admit it, but YES!

Gary Gan Intern

What’s your Superpower? I am pretty good at configuring and troubleshooting CISCO-related routers and switches. I hope to apply these networking theories and concepts of to real life scenarios during my tenure at Integricity.

How do you find your first few weeks here? Well, when I first stepped foot in Integricity, my heart was pounding real fast. I was nervous yet excited. As I had no prior working experience, especially not in an office environment with a group of professionals, I guess it was natural for me to feel that way. I was worried about adapting to the hours, and how to mix around with my colleagues – at one point, I even feared I would be exiled from the team! However, after being here for several weeks now, I’m starting to get used to the working environment, and I’m just glad to be part of the team.

Hopefully, by the end of my internship duration, I would be able to remember everyone’s names. There’s still much for me to learn here at Integricity.

What do you like best about the Integricity family? The family-like bonding among colleagues. I also like the active environment and flexible schedules, as I find it increases productivity. Everyone here is friendly, – you just can’t find anyone staring at you with a long straight face or acting ignorant whenever you try to initiate a conversation!

Have you put on weight since? Since joining, I’ve visited various foods when tagging along with the tech boys for lunch, and tasted several kinds of food new to me. If there’s one thing that amazes me, it is how Integricitizens can remember and comment about food with such detail that I never would have imagined! For me, food is just, well, food – something to ease my hunger. I guess it won’t be surprising if my taste buds start to develop sensitivity to foods in the future.

About my weight, I guess I might have gained several kilograms. =) But frankly, it doesn’t really matter, as long as I’m feeling healthy!
