April Fools' Day

Played a trick on my colleagues yesterday....

(Official company email banner)

Dear Colleagues,

We are proud to unveil our new logo for MIPS. This new and contemporary logo more accurately reflects the dynamic and professional team at MIPS .

This logo will be launched officially on 1st May. Our entire line of collateral materials will be revised to include this logo. To make the shift effective, please make sure that this logo is included in all presentation and marketing materials from 1st May onwards and that the new logo is properly used in terms of color, placement and other graphic standards.

To view and download the logo guidelines and associated files, please click HERE

>>> And if they did click through, they get to see this:

• My boss basically went, "What the hell! ............"
• Another colleague asked if she is to send her materials through to my team for updating.... so I told her, "No, I am quitting. Please DIY."
• A couple more asked why I am "so free" and "jia pah eng ah" .....

 .... but yep. Haven't had quite that much fun in a while.


The boy was fooled in school too. He told me his teacher gave them a spelling test. After sheets of paper were distributed to the entire class, the teacher walked up to one of them and tore the paper up.... and that they too started tearing their own papers. He then told me he didn't get to fool anybody and I told him he had to wait till next year. Come to think about it, he will have to wait two years... next year's April Fools' Day falls on a Sunday.
