No.. i dun mean a holiday on mon... i had an event on sat... thus for the past one week, i've been at work with my colleagues till late into the night... although, i was working on some other project, it's really the bonding that matters... it gave us the platform to know each other better...
Honestly, no event is perfect.. there's bound to be hiccups in one way or another... the movers came late to pick up the goodie bag items, the packing started late and we almost didn't have time to go back to office to shower and change for the night... the registration started with no warning and everything was in a mess, instructions passed down at the last min but not everyone heard the latest news... it's common... but i guess i was really upset as my own personal friend was roped in for fun but ended up being so stressed out at the registration counter where she was not supposed to be... i didn't want to blow up at my own team mates but i had to get it out of my system, so i complained to my boss... after that, i told myself, i should not even mention this at the debrief...
if you ask me what goodness i got out of this event, it's really how to manage myself at events in public... several times, i had the urge to shout at ppl who created the mess... but kept telling myself that's not gonna help the problem... thus, i left the event with a stomach full of anger, although i wanted to go get myself a few alcoholic drinks... i went home, hungry and upset... prob some food will do me good... so i got myself an ice cream... by the time i was calm and happy, it was like 2am... i needed my bed by then...
honestly, i enjoyed working in this team bcos i can really be myself... did i ever tell you that my colleagues are very adorable? at least the closer ones... Sebas, my boss or superior he calls himself, is somebody who is very knowledgable with the event work.. gives me good insight on a lot of things and sees things from a bigger view that I cannot seem to see... working with him for just 2 mths, i've learnt a lot.. the downside? he's needed by so many ppl that there's hardly time left for him... nicholas whom we affectionately call nicky boy, has been the one providing all the fun and laughter in the office... with him, it feels comfortable... i can speak the truth without worries and yes, my stomach hurts from all the laughter that he provides... liling, a very helpful person whom i see as nic's best bud... sings in symphony with nic and reacts to nic's jokes and funny actions... with them around, my stomach hurts twice as much... kris... (if nic reads this, he will go hmmmm...) my senior director that everybody so hates... but yet, although she displays zero EQ and pushes us a whole lot, it is also through talking to her that i get ideas for my various events... she has no limits, she believes the only limits is yourself... think bigger and larger... and yes, that is what i like about her... dream big... the rest of my colleagues requires more time to nurture the bond and friendship.. but yes, when the time is right, i will describe them to my readers as well...
