BusY APR

It has been a while since I last blogged again as I had been busy with my work, which ran into some problems. It is quite surprising that someone who is only just an audit associate partner of my company have the cheek to ask my boss that she wants to take charge of us when she will be on leave from the company. It is also surprising to note that she has been expecting freebies from us when she stationed a number of her staff at my office since Day 1.

I was pretty disturbed by her comments / complaints about me not devoting 100% to my work and focusing on my volunteer work instead. I feel that this was non of her business as I do my volunteer work at outside off my working hours and moreover, you are not my boss, why are you so nosey? My boss has been aware that I have been involved in this since the day I joined the company or should I say when I was interviewed for the job. Sometimes, such things make me wonder if I should stay further or should I move on? It is fortunate that volunteer work and singing kept me sane.

I had helped close to 70 people together with my friends in this year personal tax filing. It was slightly off my target, due to CDG did not inform their drivers about the service. 2 surprises happened during and after the program. The service got broadcast on the paper again after a reporter saw my poster on Facebook and NTUC assisted me to arrange for a radio interview to speak on this, two days back.

I am ready to start my MGP engagement with the seniors after clearing my training and table top role play. I was caught by surprise at the training facility as my photo and interview article was featured at the facility. The table top role play was fun, and I had good time interacting with my Division Lead.

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.
