Receiving The Award

I finally have the chance to show you guys what this outstanding award looks like and it came with a $40 Fairprice voucher too. Thanks to my Canon scanner cum printer! This was my 4th award in 5 years of service. This year was special as:-

I was asked to share my past expriences with 2 groups of new volunteers this year. It was a nerve wrecking exprience to share my past volunteer expriences with this new people, as I can’t scare new people who has come to help people who e-file their taxes. There are some nasty people as always, but generally people are very nice. I had people who again bought coffee for us, thanking us for our service.

I was asked to share my thoughts about the e-filling in the e-filing video tribute thanking us. I was glad that my quote was featured. My poly lecturer, Ms Cindy Yuen, who was there on behalf of the poly was surprised to see the quote too. Here’s the quote:-

“I have always felt that it is always great to help the taxpayers to e-file
their taxes, as I have been working with tax for the past six years.
It is my way of giving back to the community as they have given me a lot
despite my physical disability.
Look forward to help out once again next year.”

I got my mum to be my guest for this year once again. As usual, she was rather excited about it. The same can’t be said of someone whom I have regarded as a friend. She had deleted me from Facebook after I tried to invite her.

Anyway, its ok as some of them like Jonathan Teo, Angela, Wai Ling, Kay, Kok Leong congraulated me when they knew that I was getting the award.

I wish to thank Ms Clara Ng, Senior Corporate Communications Officer for arranging the special seating arrangement for me (to allow me to go on stage easily to get the award, and my mum for ease of photo taking.

I was surprised to see a Cacuasian attending the ceremony today. He was seated beside my mum. According to my mum, he was there to see one of his staff receive the award. I really admire this boss. He is so supportive of his staff doing voluntary work.

The photos should be up tomorrow as I am too tired to upload it today.

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.
