Face To Face With Former Speaker of Parliament

-
I was back at office at about 10am today to clear my desk. It was not a surprise to see the pile of file on my desk. My boss and the audit manager was already there when I reached there.

Due to the business, I only realised that it was time for lunch at about 1.30pm. I decided to settle at the foodcourt since I had to go back to clear more stuff later. My boss was to join me for lunch a short while later. He started to ask me about my exam. whether it was finished. I replied him that it was over already yesterday. This goes to show a lot of care & concern from my bosses to their staff. Just last week, I was asked by lady boss about what my exam paper was all about, and why I chose the paper.

Over at the next table sat a big group of people. There was this Indian chap who greeted my boss by his name. Then he asked another person, who happened to know my boss too. Once that guy's face turned, I knew he was the former Speaker of Parliament, Mr Tan Su Khoon, as the Indian chap had greeted him as Su Khoon, do you know this guy (referring to my boss).

I just checked and confirmed with my boss if my guess was right, and it was confirmed by my boss. I didn't expect my boss to know MPs also. As I always tell myself, do not judge a book by its cover.

Dinner @ Bacchus @ Dempsey

I joined the Facebook Foodies Club for dinner at Bacchus last night. Yesterday was with a smaller group of people with 11 people. It meant that I had a chance to interact with people and enjoy good food at the same time. I certainly had a good time knowing Deborah, Rene, Wenna, Chris & Catherine. The good part was having my singing buddy, Jonathan around as well, making me able to enjoy the dinner and making friends with relative ease. I must say I enjoyed the food, that I ordered. I ordered the Flumuken,Bawhrust susages and tiramisu cake. You must be thinking that why I ordered so much food. I must say I was very hungry as I didn’t have a filling lunch. Although, it burned a hole in my pocket, but it is certainly good to indulge in myself sometimes! I like the ambience of the restuarant. After the dinner, we indulged ourselves in some German wine before we were asked to pose for photos. After that, we adjourned to Harry’s Bar for a drink and chat session. Jonathan was so afraid

My Hosting Script for The National Day Event

-
I just managed to work out the draft hosting script for the National Day Event I am hosting. I am thankful for all the comments that I have received from my fellow RC members and friends. Just feel that sometimes, no matter whatever you do, some people, no matter for what reasons, will not be happy with the arrangements. I just wish to say that I am already trying my best to try to get this event going, considering the fact, that this is the 1st time I am organising an RC event. I have also tried my best, despite the fact that I would like to have a free hand to organise the event, just like what I usually do for the KTV events I have on Facebook, I accommodated to the requests that I should somehow follow the past years’ format to do the event. I know that I am not very familiar with how things are run at the RC, therefore in the end, my organising committee only made some changes to the event as we had a limited budget to work on. I even volunteered myself to do the hosting for the

June Musings

 It has been a while since I last blogged. Since then, I am settling well into my role, although there were some incomings and outgoings, which are common in any workplace.   I managed to catch a last glimpse of Yishun Orto before it closed on 30 June. I would like Leonard, Wendy & Michael, as without them performing at the Happiest Hour Bar & Bistro, I guess I would never go to this place, as I had not so fond memories of a nearby place during my NS days.   I did not manage to get A* Mei or Jacky Cheung concert tickets this round. It could be a sign for me to build up my savings again after an unstable 3 years on the job front. I hope to stay on this job for a while despite its lack of transport amenities and lack of shelters for rain as it is not often that you can have great teams of colleagues and bosses with whom you can get along well. I guess having a boss who is differently abled helps me to settle in well as colleagues tend to be more understanding and caring.
