bloody hell.. juz came back from dinner at Xian De Lai Steamboat, wanted to blog but the Internet connection was done.. have complained to Singnet already.. but still the same leh.. no difference...
in my last post, i was talking about my USB port got problem... seems to me that the problem automatically resolved by itself.. but there's still the sound.. whereby when u stick the USB into the com/laptop u will hear a 'ding tong' sound... still have that leh.. dunno wat to say leh...
juz got news that Michelle is resigning.. maybe she found a better job.. the news was told during Dinner.. therefore this dinner is sort of her farewell dinner.. hope Dal dun feel to sad.. cos he's the one who pulled her into the team.. i wonder if boss will hire another person ma... mmm...
also this morning had the presentation with Des D Mel.. i'm in charge of finding the Event Company for my company's D&D (Dinner & Dance).. total i got 4 companies... out of the 4.. the committee likes 2 of them... me personally think that.. out of 4 only 2 has given a better deal..
and the winners are : Des D Mel & ECS
ECS has done 1 of our D&D before.. i've also worked with them on serveral occations and they are very professtional.. plus the Emcee is not bad... if it's Ferris lah.. lol... Ferris is funnie and entertaining.. he also knows how to encourage the participants... the most important aspect of an event is the Emcee... if he/she is not entertaining or does not know how to get the crowed to warm up to him/her... the event will becoming totally boring... and it will be a wash out!!
Des D Mel.. i can say that the presentation is very good. The Best of the best.. think if Desmond sees this.. he's sure to be very happy... he's very professional.. and he can give you ideas of how to go about doing the event.. and he knows what he is doing.. can also can do magic tricks ala David Blane style.. not bad..
For me, i will choose Des D Mel.. as i have already worked with ECS therefore i know where is their standard.. whereas for Des D Mel, i have not worked with them.. if they can perform will doing out D&D.. they are sure to have a couple of jobs lined up for them!! I can take our D&D to test out new Event Companies without having to worry about how the members feel.. also dun need to hear too many negative comments...
well that's only from my point of view... dunno how the rest of the committee feels.. i feel kinda bad for squeezing the Event Companies until they cannot breathe le.. but sometimes that's how you do business.. like wat Desmond says.. You strach my back i'll strach yours... but sometimes cannot take full advantage of people... if that's the limit of what they can offer dun keep stressing them.. if not it'll be very hard for my department to call and ask them for quotations le... the event company also dun want to take our business ar... cos they earn like very marginal...
had a small discussion with some colleagues.. reached a conclusion of 'someone'... dun wanna say anymore.. juz in case 'someone' stumbles onto my blog and reads.. den everyone will get into trouble and will be very hasd to work with one another... think i need to come out with some code names where the people i trust will know who is it.. i shall go think of some names to give my friends.. muahhahaa... =)
Dinner was a yummy affair... there was a total of 6 of us... Me, Serene, Michelle, Koh, Dal n Boss.. it was a bit too much le... the mala soup was super duper hot.. cannot take it.. nose start to leak again... had loads and loads of food.. nice nice...
after dinner went to Bugis to play some Archard games.. played the Mario Brother's Go Kart... muhahahaha... so fun.... so cute~!!!! heehee.. i like the mushroom headed guy... everytime i use him i seem to be winning.. muhahaha...
took a bus home from Bugis.. dun want to take MRT back cos so late le.. i know that Daddy is sleeping le.. even though he says he's not... cannot always make him come n fetch me from the MRT Station de... must let him rest...
tomorrow going to Mdm Jennifer's mother? father's? wake... not very sure which is it.. 2 weeks ago head that he/she was in the ICU... sometimes i think of death as the better alternative.. rather den lying in the bed suffering.. i would rather die... easier for me and my family members.. cos the hospital bill is not going to be cheap... 2nd thing it's less painful...
Okie.. i think i shall stop here.. willl try to update more since now i have no excuse that the computer is not in my room... of cos.. heehee.. i always can say that the internet connection is not working.. muahhahaha.. tired tired le.. time to go sleep.....
nitey niteZ...
