My First Board Meeting

Jimmy brought La1 Kin and I to witness an agreement signing process. It was a transfer of land agreement and our company was representing the seller I think. Then the buyers came, introduced themselves, shook hands and handed out name cards. I received couple of them and immediately put them into my pocket. However, I notice that everyone put the name cards on the table and arranged them nicely. I was puzzled and immediately put my name cards on the table. So after the meeting, I asked La1 Kin why the hell did everyone put the name cards on the table. Apparently, the name cards were arranged according to the owners’ location so that it’s easier to remember their names. Damn, how embarrassing, I was happily putting the cards into my pocket.

  3. LOL… I’ll remember that. Pls do post more about the “weird” practises in the legal society. Do I have to call you “si-fu” for that? HAHA…

  4. i guess all of us who started working will just keep it in our wallet/pockets in the beginning.that’s what happened to me too… but somehow rather i got tired of keeping it, i just leave it on the table, and then found out that it’s easier to remember their names that way, hehe. i didn’t sort according to their location tho…but again this kind of setting normally happens in a meeting, where u can play with the namecards when u get bored of presentations/demos etc :p
