Quarterly engagement session
This one is the best and most successful event I can say since the past 1yr plus I had been here
We spend big bucks to have chef, butler, and live stations
Aigooo
Best of the best
Memorable moments frm today session
I had always thought I am a small small figure and nobody rly know who am I
As I normally dun talk or chat wif other dept staff
I only do my work send emails and mingle among my hr dept
I dun even rly rmb all the names and faces of the staff in my office after a year.
So I had thought ppl also same won't know who I am.
Or know my name
Bt there are several moment today that make me realise, people do recognize me and know my name.
Instance one: I was standing wif my newly q mth join recruiter colleague and suddenly a finance manager told her to intro herself
Then after that I said to her hello, I am calista shly, as I had nv rly spoken to her
Then suddenly the manager say ofc I know u
Abit surprised
As I totally dun need to liaise in term of work wif her neither do I chat with her before
Instance 2: another hod was chatting with us and we suddenly ask him u know who we are mah? Cos hr got 2 new employees who joined this yr mah.
Then I say I dun think u know me either. Even though I joined last yr
And the hod replied, I definitely know u bt I not sure the other one name who she joined 3mths ago
Then I say what's my name then
And he said calista!
I am like surprised second time
This one also I never liaise work wif him neither do I chat with him before.
Instance 3: at a table with other dept staff chatting, we suddenly talk about age.
Then a lady point to a guy in her dept complaining this guy said he tot I was older than him.
Then I say har? No what u definitely look younger than us( then I know this guy is same age as me) cos back 3mth? Ago we had a meet the new hire session and this guy was in the grp I am assigned to, so we got chat Abit and I rmb he said something and I told him hey! We are same age ley
As this happen few mths back and we nv even talk after all those mths
And suddenly when I mention, he same age as me mah, then the guy immediately say ya ya we same age! Then I toldd him u siao ah, this girl cfm look younger than us hao mah
And in my heart I rly rly surprised
I thought only I would rmb
Bt endup actually he did rmb it as well
Felt Abit gandong
I always had inferiority complex
Think I am ugly and not much of a presence kind of loner
But after joining this company,
It made me realize actually alot ppl had taken notice of me and know who I am
I am not a 小透明
So I am rly more worry of my conduct n speech in future
As I felt there are actually many eyes on me
Even my director and other hods also commenting you got slim down right, u see no stomach alr
This is irony actually
I felt my own value n importance
So I am happy ppl did actually notice me and make effort to rmb me
But yet I am rly scare and pressured of such attention given to me
Bt anyway back to the topic of tdy engagement
Special thanks to corianderleafsg catering at Chjimes
The chef, butler, manager did a rly fantastic service and food preparation
Everything in order and on time
Though this cost 3k plus, bt I felt it was worth the price tonite
Everything was perfect.
