On the first day of my internship with Landor, I was advised by the other interns, of which there were three, that the first two weeks of my internship would be rather uneventful. As such, I was to take the opportunity to explore the huge, maze-like structure of Landor, and to familiarise myself with the whereabouts of everybody and everything...

Within half-an-hour of my arrival, however, I was advised that I was assigned to work on a FRITOLAY packaging project for the remaining of my first week - Fritolay being amongst one of Landor's biggest clients. Work carried out being confidential, I am not allowed to divulge any further sumptious tidbits of information. Suffice to say that I shall never, ever look at a packet of chips in the same way, again.

It was a highly interesting, stimulating project, and I learned a lot during that intense period. I also recollected finishing as late as 10:30pm on one of those nights (to top all other late nights). Strangely, I had no recollection of a punctual finishing time. Not that I mind. I am having too great a time to notice.

Of a different vein: on my first day at Landor, this poor, young lab technician was sent out to hunt for me, all over Landor. At last, he located me downstairs at the basement, working with a production designer on these Fritolay packages. Looking rather petrified, he asked: ''Would you mind very much if I change your computer for a newer and faster one?'' Now, I found being allocated a 21 inch monitor, attached to a flash, new power pc (which was installed just the week previously) a rare treat as it is. But, another newer computer to take the place of my current one? Oh, yeah! I did not hesitate to agree.
