Beware of This !!!

-

I was thinking if I should write about how I was duped into signing the corporate travel plan last Fri in here so that you guys can be more aware about this new form of trick in the market. My mum is supportive of me to blog about this, since it will create awareness to all of you and don't end up like me being cheated.

I got a call on Fri afternoon, stating I have won something like a holiday trip from this company, which I told them I was not interested as I don't remember participating in any travel contest recently. I tried to hang up the call after that but they were very persistent and the threats would not work as they persistently call back.

Went down to that office,and listened to "that 45 min presentation" that was one to one. In the end, the presentation was close to 3 hrs. I tried my best to reject them, stating reasons like I do not have the budget for that and so on and so for, but they would try to work out something which they feel is a "best plan" for you and make you agree to it. All these are done, when they knew that you haven't had your dinner, and are in need of one, so you just want to get over with it fast.

Also, if you don't have credit card to pay for the instalment, they will ask you to sign up for 2 credit cards to get a further discount later if you use the 2 credit cards to make payment. They always catch you when you are at your most vulnerable. No matter how you read, the agreement is defintely not in your favour, and you can't go as there are eyes watching u.

Therefore I hope sharing this will help you guys be more aware that of the various marketing "gimmicks" that are in the market now. If these guys can cheat me, I think they can do it to you too.

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.
