HEALTH

YESTERDAY
The awards ceremony of red dot award - design concept 2007 was yesterday, 30 November in the red dot design museum in Singapore. It was a nice event that hosted international guests from design, culture, and business. The only criticism that I have t was in terms of the organization seats. After the 19h Cocktail, the awards were ready to be given away. SO the doors opened to let people in. The problem was that each Seat had a name, and 50% of the people did not have a number or an indication where their Seat was. So it was bit messy until the moment that the voice off announced THE AWARDS ARE GOING TO BEGIN and everybody seated everywhere.
