Gamanian Discovery

As a Gamanian, being unique is everyone’s common trait. If you make a visit in GHQ, you’d get to see all kinds of Gamanians: be it pretty-Gamanian, parkour-Gamanian, Lit. & art-Gamanian, musician-Gamanian or paranoid-Gamanian etc.

A song goes like this, “You said I’m like a Gamanian, capricious and unpredictable, in fact you don’t know Gamanian’s heart…” Because Gamanians are so unique, it is not that easy to ‘get’ them. You can’t judge a Gamanian by its face! Observing Gamanians daily routines is not enough to get to know what they hide inside. In this special feature, we sent out secret informers to probe all kinds of hidden secrets in every corner of GHQ. We shall reveal these hidden secrets of Gamanian colleagues around us. Well well, let’s reveal it today!

We’re Gama-Best Friends
