Finally, the peak was over!!! Woohoo~~~
Been working very very late during the last 2 weeks of November.. Working more than 12 hours everyday including sat and sun.. Just so glad the ordeal was over.. Our boss knew that we worked very hard for the past 3 months. As such, on 1 December, he brought the team to Carlton hotel for Dim sum for lunch. As usual, ordered the most expensive food to recover all my loss sleep and energy for the past 2 months..lol
On 4 December, the company organized an outing to NS country club for cooking class.. We were divided into 2 teams..Spanish and Vietnamese cuisine..Within 1.5hrs, each team will need to prepare 3 course meals, 14 shares for each course. I was assigned to viet cuisine and with the account manager, both of us were assigned to do the viet dessert, lemon grass pastry..
The whole process was fun, flatten the dough, using templates to cut the heart shape, prepare the ingredients, grind the lemon grass and put them to the oven..
Not only that, the team also need to come out with a marketing plan to sell the food to the facilitor! So the garnish, the setting and the taste, all will be taken into consideration.. There was a sense of achievement when we finished our pastry Becoz to friends that know me, you guys know that I can't really cook or bake..lol
And of course, we beat the Spanish team and emerge as the winner as well :)
After the cooking class, my boss presented his speech and share with us the result of the company for the year.."it's been a tough year" he said.
To me, this year has been really challenging. Not only just doing compliance, I was involved in due diligence work, tax advisory and tax investigation..I have been busy whole year round and I hope I will get what I deserves. *finger cross*
Anyway, the last segment was the lucky draw and won myself $50 vouchers (everyone get at least $50 vouchers).. The top prize was $300 and a tablet..
In a nutshell, the whole day was fun and filled with laughter. To me, it's a nice chance to catch up with our accounting team as we r in different office and we seldom get a chance to chat due to high volume of workload...the event met it's objective to bring the team closer :)
Don't ask me to be naked chef
The viet team
The loser spanish team
The whole company
The 3 course meal
On 9 December, I went to marina bay sands to watch the musical show "mamma mia". No doubt it was expensive but the two hour plus show was amazing..simply worth the price...ok..Abba songs reappear in my mind now..mamma Mia, dancing queen, I have a dream, etc..
