It is an undeniable fact that working at MCYS has indeed made me experience and learn so much more things that I have not had the chance to experience at Sentosa.
Besides learning to handle and work with difficult operators from all walks of life, I had been arrowed to take on so many versatile roles that I almost forgot my main job scope.
Other than being tasked to be part of the brochures revamp team, department healthy lifestyle coordinator…
I was also arrowed to emcee at our Deputy Director’s farewell party!!
To be honest, I didn’t have much thought about it ‘cause I was tasked to be more like a “side-kick” for my other colleague who has a wee bit of experience emcee-ing company's event.
BUT THE SCARIEST PART COMES!! when the night before my colleague actually pre-empted me that she might not be able to make it for the event as she was not feeling well!
With no icebreaker games prepared in mind, no script to go with the flow…
I still had a good sleep. LoL! which still spurs me thinking…
Anyway, I decided to take things in my stride tho’ I am still ten thousand unwilling to always be the one to receive all the arrows.
Then just an hour before the event, boss told me that a section of the event needs to be cancelled off due to some last minute circumstance…
Tell me what’s worse to come.
No game, so I can only work on the spot, and get some colleagues to play youtube videos to act as a tentative KARAOKE SESSION. Thank goodness, the VIPs arrived on time, otherwise I’ll really have no entertainment for the people!
Then the other very precious lesson that I’ve learnt about being an emcee is the spontaneity and fast response on the spot. People will throw you some comments and there you have to grab the “ball” and throw back to the audience hard. If you get a positive response, it will mean you have done great!
Honestly, I did enjoy the whole process yesterday, especially when I had some positive comments from my boss, Deputy Director, Director and many other colleagues! Had so much fun and achievement. (:
But the downside of it is that my Director has then arrowed me to emcee for another bigger event. =(
But all and all, I feel great. heh~
Yes you heard me! I’m going Hong Kong!
5 – 8 February 2010.
You can always drop by and say have a safe and great trip! But don’t expect me to buy gifts back for whoever you are! HEHE!
Oh wells, although Jan – March is gonna be crazy months in the office. I DON’T BLARDI CARE.
I WORK FOR A LIVING. AND WITHOUT A LIFE, I DON’T WORK.
So apparently, I don’t give a shit…
so here I come!!!
AHHH There goes our long weekends! gotta wait for another month before I can enjoy another series of loooooooong weekends…
Have to mention the Ba Kut Teh my dad treated us to yesterday!
OUTRAM AH HUA ROU GU CHA
Honestly, it’s been a long time since I tasted a Ba Kut Teh this good! The ba kut and the trotters are super tenderlicious. The soup is a wee bit spicy because of the pepper (but pepper is a must have for all Ba Kut Tehs!) but the spice definitely did not ruin the true essence and taste of the soup.
Pardon me if I sounded ignorant, but I find the idea of having the fried dough sticks soaked in either the soup or the gravy of the trotters very brilliant and tantalizing. hehe~
Of course not forgetting the GIAM CHAI! I would love to have somebody to enlighten me as to why is it called the GIAM CHAI when it is sweet and not salty! Very appetising indeed. I swore I could have eaten the whole bowl of rice just with the plate of GIAM CHAI. Yums!
Totally oblivious of the fact that I need to go on a diet badly. :( Life’s gonna be meaningless…
But good food also comes with a “great” price…5 bowls of Ba Kut Teh, 1 bowl of pig’s kidney and liver, 2 bowls of fried dough sticks, and 1 plate of GIAM CHAI plus 2 drinks actually cost us SGD59! Seems like 1 bowl of small small Ba Kut Teh with only 3 pathetic Ba Kut Teh already cost us 6 bucks! JEEZ Kopitiam’s accredited good food that comes with a restaurant price tag. Oh well…
To ease my guilt of indulging in scrumptious meals, Mr GVM and I promised to make Mondays a “workout day” for us. WHEN I SAY WORKOUT, I MEAN REAL EXERCISING. Ahem~
Soooo…we started of with swimming last Monday…and something less tedious today…which is…
BOWLING
HAHA! see the scores and you can just tell how losers we started off…But Mr GVM did much better at the last set…haha he scored 103!!! WHATEVER!
Okay, let’s pray for the week to pass like lightning!
Sometimes…you don’t have to welcome the new year with the crowd, wine, and foams…
I just wanna be myself…in the most comfortable setting..and reflect on 2009…to be a better person for 2010.
HAPPY NEW YEAR.
