IRAS VES Appreciation Ceremony 2008

-

Today was the day that my bro & I received our outstanding & commendation awards at IRAS. This year, we had the company of our mum who cheered for us as we went to stage to take our awards. This also explains why there are so many pictures taken this year. This was also the first time that my mum attended the ceremony with us.

However, mum was telling me that the award presentation happened too fast when it was our turn to receive the award, therefore she was not able to capture a good shot when we were on stage. Therefore, I had to wait for Clara to send me the photos before I can upload it here to show you guys.

I wanted to load my pictures onto as a slide show, but it seems that Slide.Com & Rock You are facing problems as I was loading the photos. The lucky thing is that I am using Windows Live Writer to write my blog most of the time nowadays. Loading the pics and putting captions was a breeze. I just hope that you guys don't find it tedious having to stroll down to look at the pics.

Edit: I am facing problems uploading the pics with all the photo applications. I wonder why.

I wish to take the opportunity to thank Ms Clara Ng & Ms Rena Soon for making special arrangements to my seating arrangements again this year. Thanks for the compliments of Clara & Harris made about me, about me being a good son and a being a helpful and committed volunteer. I guess mum was quite surprised but happy to hear that.

I also wish to thank Mrs Quek Bin Hwee Vice Chairman of NPVC for making the effort to walk closer to me as I went up on stage to receive my award.

This year, the award came with a $40 NTUC Fairprice Voucher for me, while my brother got $20. It was a pleasant surprise for the both of us.

Mum and I enjoyed the food at the reception very much. We particularly enjoyed the ice-cream and the fried oysters, which I heard from Clara that it was specially catered for us.

I shall not say any further, and let you guys enjoy seeing the pics.

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.
