Busy Feb & Mar

-
It has been a busy February & March for Paul so far. Although February was a short working month, I had decided to start working on my community e-filing project. I am helped by the fact that the Silver Generation Engagement has been stopped as the Budget announcement was only out after CNY. This new wave seems exciting as we have new things to learn and share with the seniors.

I had the opportunity to meet up with my new Programme Co-Ordinator, Germaine during my 10 day break. I always believe that communication is the key to a good working relationship. So even though this is only volunteer work, I take pride in it and believe that if I am given a task to do, I should do it well.

For the community e-filing project, this is the 3rd year that I will be doing for this project. I am thankful to the sponsors turned friends who have sponsored me for this project. One of them actually assisted me to appear on Shin Min Daily to broadcast on this project. This year was the 1st time, I had used Facebook to do a training video to save cost on renting a place to do the training.







This was something that I did not expect as in recent times, I have been on the news quite frequently, thanks to the train delay Facebook support group that I have been helming, TATA SMRT and Silver Generation Ambassador that my mum was a little uncomfortable with the limelight on me. Some of my friends wish to nominate me for the Goh Chok Tong SG Enable Award. I had not want to be nominated as my associate partner had been carrying tales about me to my boss saying that I am doing this as a side income. Luckily my boss told her that these hawkers and taxi drivers are not able to afford the fees that we charge them, and Paul is just doing them a favour.

Hope that the project can progress smoothly.

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.
