yesterday was my company's D&D. a hassle to prepare, but it was worth it. even in my first year of preparation last year, it wasn't so hectic.
the event company that i engaged this year did a pretty good job. there were pre-dinner events of caricature sketching and tattoo drawing. i did one of each, as did many of the operators there. why not? it was free!
emerald suite at orchid country club. theme: around the world! may all passengers please board at gate M01 - M12. chairman giving speech as captain of the evening flight. a toasting ceremony that made known the company's management to all the staff.
main highlights of the night: (1)icebreaker game of bingo - last one standing (2)human jackpot with the total cash prize of $687, (3) nina the drag queen who took a fancy to my operations director, (4) lucky draw with TV, DSLR, laptop and 2 iPads in the top 5 prizes. of cos i didn't win anything, i have no such luck!
a little bit of wine got my chairman high, so he went round to all the tables to toast the staff for hard work of the past year. i kinda liked this part cause of the 'feeling' of camaraderie, even though the truth is the chairman doesn't even know the names of any staff. and well, at least it made the operators happy =)
organising committee receiving a token of appreciation from the very suave operations director.
photos with my QA inspectors, store manager as well as technicians. to give the guys face, i half-squatted, but some joker took a shot of the feet too. (ala roy) haha
with my fellow receptionists, who did a good job!

one scandalous photo of my tattoo, with my production manager. the number of bangles i wore caused me to bruise after excessive clapping. i think i got a bit too high acting on stage and during the mass dance.
with my china colleagues who showered us with great hospitality when we were in wuxi. we had to reciprocate the favour, we booked a partyworld ktv room at yishun safra. sang form 12mn to 3am, with 2 towers of beer. and somehow the very pro china chairman couldn't even walk. no choice but to languish till 4am, hoping he will wake from his stupor. which he didn't, so we gave up and i went home to shower and collapse into bed at 5am.
the torture continued today, kena dragged out of house to go bowling. 4 games and we only won one, after they pang chance give us 40 points lead. but the session was hilarious. haha
only side effect: won't be working tomorrow. bah, no mc la. waste money waste time in the procuring process! so i shall just continue to self-declare 4 day weeks! and it seems i have also stupidly misplaced my usb cable somewhere. have to borrow bro's charger for now!
