It's my 2nd last day with the HR Team. Well, so glad that they had a farewell lunch with me. We had a Theme lunch on Friday - The Red Day! All of us joked that we are going to wear red on Friday.. and turned out everyone was so on.. Even my boss wore red T-shirt for lunch. Hee.. we had the set lunch at Breeks, and guess what, the restraunt deco are all red too! Cool!


I really enjoy myself throughout these few months.. as they were all so nice people. So glad to be the youngest around. Felt so sad to move downstairs next week. It's a new beginning to start understanding and meet new people around me. Luckily I have one week to take a rest and get ready to face the new challenge.


Friday night was out at Esplanade again to watch the Forbidden City. I was there with my HR team colleagues for the spanish reception dinner. It was my first time to represent the team and attend such functions. Thought the dress code for the night is smart casual, but I see lots of people in suits and jackets. Well, felt slightly under dressed as I was in denim and red cardi. Neverthelesss, I had my colleagues' accompany so it wasn't that bad. The buffet dinner was delicious and yummy. The only dish I dislike was the tuna salard. It was too salty. There was also live performers going from table to table to sing for the guests. It was very nice to have the group of guys coming and sing beside you while having dinner. It was fun!


We proceed to the theatre after dinner. The play starts at 8pm sharp. Kit Chan's performance was marvellous. Other performers such as Hossan Leong, Juliet Pang, Leigh McDonald and Hal Fowler. The song keep ringing in my mind. The storyline made me felt so sorry for the empress as she has led a pitiful life. All she asked in the palace was the emperor's love and in return she was dumped aside after getting pregnant. The worst part is the ending when his son died. Kit Chan was successful in a way that she potrayed the gentle side of Ci Xi when she was younger and how she turned into a ruthless and cruel woman due to the circumstances she was in. It was a tiring night after a long day.
