HR Manager Induction

Last week our office held the HR Manager Induction which means that any new HR Manager from around the world employed by us will have to join this 5 days course. This project is my new baby as I have to coordinate as well as prepare the stuff which includes their materials and meals. As this is our 1st time organising this, it seems rather tough as we have to bring together all the materials which is a challenge..but with the help from Lena and Julie, i got it all done..This Induction is rather successful as we receive positive feedback from the participants. Julie helped me in alot of aspects in coordinating as i am rather busy with the presentation slides for my director and other handover stuff..

On the 2nd last day of the Induction, we bring them for Lunch & dinner...
Julie & me at Ah Yat
Me & Rob ( HR Mgr -India)
We bring them to lunch at Ah Yat Seafood Restaurant and Dinner at Yan Restaurant at Chinatown..
The room that we are in at Yan restaurant..

Most expensive dish..abalone wrapped with prawn & asparagus
Some of the other dishes..Pi Pa duck & Prawns & Softshell Crabs..
Karaoke Session starts......






I still have 2 more HR Manager from Saudi & Egypt but i have forgotten to take pics with them...heehee
Lena is so funny ..she kept asking me to eat and stop playing host! But i thought that its my part to do such things! She insisted me to stop and start eating before all the food are gone..One of the manager is rather strange..he took 2 of the abalone dish, ate the asparagus and prawn but threw the abalone!!! I was rather taken aback..haha...They knew thats the more expensive part but....well...to each of its own..
After dinner, we went to Chinatown for shopping..the managers from Egypt & Saudi are so good at bargaining!! I was rather embarassed and afraid that the people from the store will start to curse and swear so Lena & me walked away silently..heehee..so bad of us! at 12am we are still shopping!! Finally managed to chase them up a cab at ard 12.30am and we went home..
Nice outing but tiring!! The next HR Manager Induction is on February.. and the cycle will repeat again..except for different place for meals..
