Visit by Ms Phung Li Chen
Our former Senior Manager Finance whom had left us in year 2006 to pursue her oversea career had dropped by today for chat and catching up with us. She dressed smartly and talked and behaved as we knew her. She had taken leave with her family over here and had been to some places during her holiday. But she said was sorry that could not stay for National Day since her children classes started on 3rd Sep 08. The return flight was on Thursday 28/08/2008.
She was impressed the office environment and glad that there were good changes. And that seeing all the colleagues had bring back memories. She described how her living in Qatar and that enjoying herself and having a good time. It was hot during the day but she infrequently went outside. The Qatari seemed to like Malaysian people an place. She said it was difficult to book for ticket to / fro Malaysia.
It had started raining by mid way and she stayed over until it drizzled off. Afterward she drove herself to SBC after checking whether Terry O'Neil was in the office. She wanted to meet Eugene as well.
It was nice to hear that she was happy and had more free time to herself and family compared to when she was working here. So, best of luck to her.

Long Service Award 2008 - Central
For year 2008, the Finance staff who are eligible to attend are Kamarul Othman, Azzemi, Umayal, Yanty, Azizah, Noorhayati, Lee Yong and Masliza. However Azzemi, Yanty, Noorhayati and Azizah were unable to attend. Dress code for male black shirt and white pant, and for female is white dress and black skirt.
At the reception, the guests queued for the registration and goodie bag. The welcome drinks were served at the balcony by the swimming pool. The open air balcony at level 5 was nice and it was rather breezy evening.
The ceremony started with opening speeches fom Mer Ted and a doa, before break for prayers. The dinner started at 07.30 pm. The dinner course were Chinese style with 7 courses starting the normal shark fin soup, then fried rice, fried seabass with sweet sour sauce, veg in fried basket, desert were cooled longan and biscuit. Rather bland.
The singing contest started at 08:00 PM for 12 contestants from 6 regions. They came fully dressed to the occassion. There were 3 professional judges invited to select the winners. After it had ended, Mr Ted was proud to announce that he will bring not only winner but the 2nd and 3rd places also to perform at the Regional Meeting planned in Penang. The winner won RM 1,000.00 and the trip to Asia Pacific Singing Contest, the 2nd place won RM 500.00 and 3rd place was RM 250.00.
Next was showing of photos of all the recipients of the awards. It does bring back memories to those days and some were totally different from what we looked like now. It went on for 30 miniutes non-stop. The last photos En Lope Abd Rahman who had been with the company for 40 years. Among the ones who had worked for 35 years were Pushparani (CPC) and Rajagopal Sockalingam (Guardings).
There were 3 lucky draws for 2days and 1 night stay and 2 buffet dinners given by the hotel and I cannot recall who won what. There were best dress prizes as well: ladies Umayal and Wan Faridah, male: Siva Shanker, a guards and me. So we had to parade ourselves over the stages. The winners were Umayal and Siva Shanker ( Each gets cash RM100 and a hamper).
When the main event started it was a bit confusing but total number of recipients were 315 people. Every participant was given a number and to queue up as their number was called. My number was 236 so I had to wait until most the crowd getting their awards before getting mine. The last recipient was En Lope Abd Rahman for 40 years service.
The winners for singing contest were announced last with pop and glitters. And the night closed with photography session. Mohd Faizal (ATM PJ) won 1st place, Nazri Omar (ISO JB) at 2nd and 3rd place was Dego bin Dail (Kota Kinabalu).
I had shook the hands of Mr Ted and Mr Siva thanking them before thanking Mr Eugene and the organising committee team members. I know how hard it is to organise an event such as this as I was involved on organising a few events previously. You will not satisfy everyone but I think this team scored 90%.

There were technical problems at the start - 2 lanes not functional at all and the 2 teams were absorbed into 8 other groups. This had caused delay for 1/2 hour. There were limited selection of shoes due torn and damaged, and the numbers balls available were limited making it hard to find suitable ball. During the game, the lanes we were in kept giving trouble making it hard to maintain any rythm at all.
Unluckily, the Finance Team did not get any prizes at all. The scoring were averaged and none really shine out. It was not good enough to earn any prizes. Nevertheless, we gave our best.
