Tour of IRAS Gallery

-

I had to take half day leave today for the IRAS efile volunteer training session today as my boss didn't allow me to take time off to attend. Some of you may wonder why Paul is attending since Paul is handling tax in his work everyday. I decided to go as a form of a refresher course and also find out more about the new IRAS Gallery that showcases the history of IRAS in Singapore. The tour of the gallery was conducted by IRAS Senior Corporate Communication Officer, Ms Clara Ng. I felt that the guided tour was well conducted since she said, she played a big role in the setting up of the gallery. At the end of the tour, I thought I had a better understanding how IRAS came about.

The training session was very well conducted too. At the end of the session, we were asked to share our previous volunteering expriences with the student volunteers that will be joining us for the first time in the next few training sessions. I have been selected by Clara to share my 5 years e-filing exprience, together with another 2 fellow volunteers. I must say I have a lot to share, but I think I have the most memorable one thought out already. Let's hope I don't get stage fright during the presentation. Haha!!!

I was also asked by Clara to encourage some of you who are interested to help out in this year's efiling excercise to sign up as we are still a little short of volunteers especially for the last 4 sessions of the excercise. The 25 centres that are open for volunteers to sign up are as follows:-

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.
