Nitty Gritties @ Work

Was helping to pick the lucky draw winners for our COCO! magazine (manga for kids).
and these were the few forms i've picked.



I didn't realised something till our writer made this comment -
"How come all the forms you picked are either written in pink or red?"
lolz, this is called natural instinct, bo bianz one!


Look at the super wordy form in red on the left, i picked this boy partly cos he is so uber cute la! that part was for them to write their comments or draw. and so he did this mini composition on how one fine day, he was at the NTUC with his mum when he saw a copy of COCO! and surprisingly the copy was unwrapped, he flipped through and yadda yadda so the story goes.
It was really like a mini composition he did with descriptive words you know! after all the writing he ended with 'so sorry for such a lengthy comment' I just have to let him win!

Of cos I let the following kid win too, cos his cartoon is just soooooooo cute.
Natural creativity with a sincere heart. it might be simple, but it actually brought a smile to my face.
Kids are such an amazement.


And you know what anor kid did? he wrote "COCO! Rocks" and then he drew a HUGE PIECE OF ROCK below and even an arrow pointing to it and say "rock". ( i didn't manage to tak a pic of that form though)




and this, i had it pinned in front of me, my senoir designer says 'to motivate you' kekez.
it's really a joy reading and looking at the works of children, minus the difficulty of having to decipher their handwritting.


I guess my boss is right, these are the little little inspirations and motivation that we get from their work. Reading their comments and looking at their picture can be such a joy.
A simple mind with their directness, no reading between the lines needed at all!

i'm so sure if i'm ever gona have a kid, i guess i'll probably have their drawings pinned up at work too, for inspiration and motivation!
