Sorry for forgetting to post this b4 my date with hubby...
This is my 2nd team bonding with E&E team. E&E means Employment & Employability Department. It consist of 3 big departments:
1) Employability Development, which is the department where i belong. This was divided into 3 small departments: sector capability development (me); training operations, PWD training. 2) Employment Services, which consist of employer consultancy and career consultancy (jasline); S2W and incentives Management & process tracking. 3) Employment & Employability which consist of strategic partnerships.
We are mostly dealing with employers, sector professionals and PWDs (our clients).
We all work hard, n play hard as well. Last week was e 2nd team bonding session. we had lunch at PS, Chef Wan. Followed by team game, treasure hunt. It was indeed tiring. Though my team had a good start, but blasted in e end that we came in last. Haha. Nvm, it was just a game.
We were all separated into different teams planned by the committee. My team is the dream team, bcoz i had Iron man in my team, and 2 macho guys... n not forgetting our E&E big head, Group Director. We all had fun and though not winning, but it was a good experience playing together.
The next 1 shld be in mid yr liao bah. This is a meaningful agency n place to work in, n i hope to contribute more to the agency, n most imptly our target of audience cum clients, the PWDs.
As hubby needs to work late on our wedding anniversary, so we decided to take leave on 26th Dec friday, to catch a movie n eat buffet.
I bought vouchers online to Rendezvous Hotel for buffet lunch. Called to book apptment, but sadly to say it was fully booked. Bo bian, we can only find another day in Jan to go.
Bought movie tickets to watch The Hobbit at Jem, so we ate lunch there. 鲜得来 buffet really not worth e $$..
The movie was great! We love it loh. B4 we left Jem to go fetch Javier frm cc, saw Esprit having sale. We went in n using less than 15min, we bought a wristlet for myself, 1 tee; 1 polo tee n 1 bag for hubby.
It was really a short n yet gd time tat we can go for movie together n have lunch. It's just not easy to go on twosome time like tat. How long was that that we did not go for movie together liao?
Hope we can have more of such time together.
My sis organised the annual xmas party again this year, and as usual, we had good food, and not forgetting gift exchange!!
This year, my boys are participating well! Haha... they were in charge of drawing the lot for every1 to get their present. Naughty naughty!
My boys had received quite a number of presents, n i thank them alot! my uncles and aunts oso had a good time at my parents house.
I ate quite little as i am afraid my stomach flu might act up, but was glad to see hubby eating alot.
My sis spent alot of energy on the xmas party, n thank her for the initiative. Xmas is coming, n Jav's CC will be holding a xmas party too tmr... had gotten a gift for the gift exchange. hope he has fun tmr loh.
It's coming to an end for 2014, n we shall welcome 2015 soon!
Bosses acknowledged our hard work for the year, n esp for the D&D, thus we r given some budget n half day off to go for a retreat!
I was still recovering from stomach flu, so lunch at Marche i didnt eat alot.
A wet weather yest, but it did not stop us from going out. We went to the museum! Quite worth going leh! Very nice!!!!
This team is great, n we hope to get more members in next year!
We work hard, n we ensure we play hard too.
Next year, more work to do as we r moving over to new office, n GPTW will be helping out in carrying out activities.
It will be a better year ahead next year. let's all work together!
This was my 1st overseas trip with my current colleagues in SG Enable... We planned many places n ultimately decided on going to Bandung, Indonesia.
Shiyi did all e booking on our behalf, and same thing, after discussing for a few days on the hotels, we finally set goal on Grand Prama Preanger. Nice hotel! We travel by Airasia, n booked our driver for the trip. Shiyi helped us a
rrange for travel insurance too, n thanks to her, i can do my claim for the stomach flu.
We had a good time there. To my surprise, Bandung is much cleaner than M'sia, opppss. sorry to offend any1 but that's my own opinion btw.
We went to many places.. Volcano, crater and saw e sulphuric lake, strawberry farm, mountains, caves, shopping at e various famous streets, eating local food n roadside stalls, n of course massage!!!! we even bought some nice cakes there n their famous kueh lapis!
We spend some time on e road, coz to every attraction, it is quite a distance. i dun think bringing little children is suitable lah.
It was a pleasant trip though b4 we came back, Shiyi was already down with flu, n i caught stomach flu e next day.
We r planning for the next trip but will be nearer lah, Msia i think. But more to b planned if we r going in a big group.
My experience there was considered nice, coz it is something different though the difference is not exactly that big, but is a good exposure somehow. Travel partners r impt to me, n they r all v nice. the 4 of us r in diff departments.. Like me in Training, Shiyi in Planning, Mei Peen in HR, Swee Hoon is Finance... n my room mate is Swee Hoon... Hahaa... I enjoyed myself though felt sick for e next 2 days when we came back, but no regrets!
This was my 1st D&D with SG Enable, held on Friday at Grand Corpthorne Waterfront Hotel.
I was in the committee in Gret Place To Work (GPTW), so D&D lied on our duty. I was part of the programme flow committee. but didnt really got our duties so clear cut. we helped out one another to get e event done.
I was also a member to perform, singing medley with other colleagues of mine.
It was a fun event, theme was retro. We called it retrolicious. It was a pity that i did not win any prize. but no issue lah. As long as every1 had fun. Haha.
After e event, we drank some champagne, white wine n whisky. i dun like e white wine btw.. so drank some sip of e champagne n the whisky. how long was it when i last drunk liquor. So long ago liao...
Dun worry, such liquor wont b able to make me down. HHaha, though i still need to drive. But no kick lah.
We will be entitled a half day off and a $50 each to go for GPTW retreat. I am so looking forward to the retreat. But we have yet to finalise which date n activity that we will be going. My team is v fun loving n all r very helpful.
It was my pleasure to be part of this agency. N i hope every1 can work here happily!
Hooray, cooling Monday huh? Today marks the 1st day of the new month, which is also the last month of 2014, December!
This coming Fri is the company D&D.... i have yet to buy the top to match with my skirt.. hopefully today can find loh... good luck to me!
Approaching 6mth of work... The period of time that i miss most is my 11 months of freedom. Haha.. really dun bluff u guys at all.
Quite a number of stuff happening this month. 1st is e D&D, followed by my holiday trip.. n of course e last thing for the month would b wedding anniversary. Hubby said he needs to work so no celebration this year.
Many things happened when i started to go back to workforce. i have to adapt to many changes, adjustment of lifestyles. I see many changes. Good or bad, up to own perspective.
December is always full of joy, bcoz of Xmas! Everywhere is full of the happiness of the festive. I have no plans for Xmas eve n Xmas. Eve still need to work though is a half day. But night activities shld b no prog at all. Dun wish to squeeze with ppl and spend that extra $$ for the meal just like wat i had been doing for e past few years. V broke now, so better not. Haha.
Nonetheless, i always look forward to the end of the year. It makes me look forward to a better new year ahead n new hope in life. Every year, i pray that my whole family n good friends will b blessed with gd health n happiness. This yr no exception. i hope every1 in my life can have a even better life ahead. Let's all count down to e end of e year, n hope every1 has had a wonderful year of 2014!
