Events Management

A last minute change has led to my first foray into events management. I had been thrown into arranging the annual APAC event. My time was spent confirming attendance, calling hotels, meetings with vendors, planning panel discussions, organising conference rooms, selecting dinner menus and arranging buses. The two day event in Singapore went by without a hitch and I even managed to find some Ban Chaan Kuih in the neighbourhood of Commonwealth!

I have to stop losing my mind whenever I see a donut shop. Currently reading "All the Light We Cannot See"

Singapore

First opportunity to travel with my current work to Singapore of all places. Now as I sit going through the receipts accumulated over the 4 day trip, I wonder if it was actually necessary to be eating 6 times a day. The breakdown of my expenses are as follows: Taxi, breakfast, brunch, lunch, tea, taxi, dinner, supper and so forth. Not too sure what the Finance department will say when they see my 11 pm order of Nasi Goreng and a Milo Dinosaur.

Actually, the purpose of the trip other than to justify the new campus was to promote the brand of the separate departments. Highlights include, Client Management winning the trade fair, me being selected to stage a 'question' for the APAC CEO and the campus buffet.
