talk.. talks..talking....talked...

lol~~ went for the J&J CEO Mr. William Wheldon talk and hear him speak about the company's credo.. was mildly impressed as I always lean towards P&G when it comes to the retail consumer group companies.. but J&J is part of many childhood and it is a great place I think, especially with its extensive R&D arm and all.. a great place to work for, especially after apparently a zillion interviews with the staff...

met cloe and kim, was very happy to see them.. they are very generous, telling me that we need to exchange address before we leave cause we may visit each other one of these days... call us, they say, even if its 10 years down the road...lol~~ had a great reception at the forbidden dining hall( cause apparently lots of seniors, till now, didn't realise that they can go in for events and all..)

decide to skip Pilate's class (my fav!!) to go for another talk with the girls... they have a korean american guy (kelvin han) who is in the kenan-flagler investment club and they have invited Morgan Stanley NY branch people to come down for a talk.. it was great opportunity, not one you get everyday so I was glad I went.. learn so much from the talk...

The people are from the equity research analysis arm of MS and they were great.. their job sounds totally cool but once again, if you are not interested in investment banking, private banking or wealth management, the career office apparently takes you as invisible.. (there are just too much emphasis on these areas that the rest are naturally neglected..) there are hardly any marketing or even in this case an aspect of the financial institution.. man.. it's going to be an uphill battle.. but what's life without some struggle. challenge and battle wound right?


oh well, might as well put this up.. the picture of my dessert (usually I will only get one slice each time I visit the cafe~) sis: just to make you drool.. one is the cheesecake stick (the cafe has the best cheesecake... the other cakes are not as good) and the other one is the lemon pie.. nice but very sweet.. I love the crust and all~~ and decide not to take the huge part of the cream and lemon pudding like stuff~~


the MS people... I managed to get the girl's name card and the rest contact number as well but they are probably too busy to ever reply me.. oh wells~~ one of the guy look soooo much like Michael Vartan, the cute CIA agent from the teevee show Alias (see I told you, I have watched like all the American tv shows that Channel 5 ever aired at some point in time... sigh~~)


the forbidden dining hall.. if you see carefully, there is a painting of a hunted deer at the end... apparently it was more bloody when it was first painted, with the deer's gut all out and exposed... the painter wanted to portray the real hunting experience (in a dining hall no less~~) but Mrs Kenan-Flagler took one look and asked the painter to alter it... so the deer's gut are all "sew up" but you can still see the difference in colour of the deer~~ (as told by my global marketing and consumer behavior professor didow~)


great reception! I didn't even have to get other stuff for dinner... that's white wine I think.. but not really my cup of tea.. I am still a tiger girl~ the finger food are great though~


Mr Wheldon talking.. :) he is rather impressive, worked in MS as well~~

well~~ will put up McColl (aka kenan-flagler building name) next time
