My Precious Moments

It has been donkeyyyyyyy years since i blogged!

At last, i am able to find sometime to update about my life during the past few weeks.

Hmm...i shall start with CNY then. As usual, my family went to Grandma's house and had steamboat for reunion dinner on New Year's eve.

The following day, my family went to Grandma's house again for a gathering with the entire family, meaning those cousins whom i seldom see will come as well.

Of cos, the whole day was filled up with gambling, gambling and gambling again. Sad to say, i lost about 20 bucks. But never mind, i still had the utmost fun and enjoyed myself with my cousins, uncles and aunts terribly. Pictures ahead...

Cousins: Li Mei and Liling (from left). With myself and my sister.

My brother and my youngest cousin: Si Han. He has a Malay name too (which i do not know how to spell) bcos his mother is an Indonesian.

I rmb-ed when we reached Grandma's house, he started wishing everyone, saying "Gong Xi Fa Cai" in such a cute and adorable way. When i called out his name to pose for me, he immediately stared at my hp with his beautiful, watery eyes and posed with a "victory" sign without hesitation. Love him to bits!

Si Han was so excited when i showed him his picture in my hp and quickly posed for more! But, his pose was almost all the same. Haha!

Notice that the adults are playing Mahjong in the room. Actually, there is another table of adults mahjong-ing in the living room. Plus my cousins and i playing card games with a few uncles and aunts in the living room too. This explains why every CNY, Grandma's house will be full of gamblers.

My sis: Sharon and I. Oh ya. I forgot to congratulate her on entering Raffles JC successfully. She was so delighted about it and i felt very proud of her too.

However, this piece of good news may become stress and pressure for her in future as studying in Singapore's top 2nd JC along with other elites from her cohourt will not mean easy work for her. So, good luck Sis!

Similarly, the second day of CNY was full of gambling. But this time round, i managed to recoup my losses and won around 60 bucks. Shiok! It was definitely worth my time sitting on the floor for long hours. More pictures of my sis and me on the second day.

After CNY, attachment begins. Everyday was almost the same routine: Work, Lunch with colleagues or Jarad, Dinner with the guys and then Home.

On the first few days, work was unfamiliar and boring at times. I had to prepare my resume and be interviewed by my Supervisor even though i was already attached to that company for 2 months.

My in-charge also wanted me to come up with a format to tabulate the company's evaluation results of all their training programmes from Year 2006 to 2008. Initially, i didnt have any idea on how to go about it. But after Rubbish Bin's help, i managed to complete the assignment which was approved by my Supervisor.

Then, i had to take out the document files one by one, and key in the average values of every training programme carried out for the past 2 years. My in-charge gave me around 5 days to finish it, yet i took only 2 days to finish it. Yeah =)

After this assignment, the next one was to prepare all the materials needed for the training programmes which were to commence at SMU on Thurs and Fri. The materials include attendance lists, tent cards, concourse maps, evaluation forms, brochures, pens and certificates of attendance etc.

As there were 2 courses going on at the same time, i had to make sure that the training materials mentioned above were enough for every participant of both courses. Participants' names on the tent cards and cetificates also had to be really centre aligned or else, i will have to keep reprinting them, which i did so in fact. Haha =)

Mentioning so much about the preparation work above, actually the real fun started when i was able to go down to SMU and did training admin work there. For example, registering the participants upon their arrival, marking their attendance, clarifying their enquiries, providing the trainer with whatever she needed like markers and course notes, as well as making sure that the catering food which arrived were sufficient for all participants.

When we ensured that the participants were fine with the breakfast, my colleague and i went back to the office and continued our work all the way until 4 plus when we had to go back to SMU again to wrap up everything for the day, such as clearing the classroom, thanking the participants for their attendance when they left and asking them if they have any opinions or problems regarding the course, the food provided as well as our service.

It may sound like doing alot of odd jobs, but i enjoyed this job in fact. Cos i get to go out of the office and meet lots of people of different positions from different organisations.
I also get the opportunity to talk to them and understand what difficulties they are facing, in terms of skills and knowledge which they are lacking in their companies.

Then, i will have to recommend them some of the other courses which my company provides and encourage them to participate as well so as to bring their skills and knowledge to a higher level.

Well, guess im being too formal and longwinded here. Ha! I shall stop for now regarding my attachment.

Work will be starting in about 2 days' time and i really hope that i can conduct training admin job for the subsequent courses held at SMU again.

Off for dinner now. Byeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee =)
