The Certis Cisco annual event was boring, until the last part when we started eating. haha was there to help out as an usher but was mainly quite slack. plastered a fake smile on my face to welcome the guests who were there for the free door gift and to socialise with potential business partners with equally fake smiles on their faces. that didnt matter though, as long as there was enough food. $55/pax at Shangri-la. The timing was more for like tea time so there wasnt a lot of variety but the food was good, man all of us ate a lot. haha..
Our 'baby' was presented to the guests and staff of Cisco by the MD who severely lacked in presentation skills and whom we all failed. haha not a lot of our research was presented, mainly the demographics and what kind of potential the security industry had in the next few years. I felt a lil gratified. like what we did was actually of some use and that it worked in making people(including ourselves) fall asleep. hahaha the presentation was super boring la. zzz. Apart from that, the major part of the annual event was to announce the rebranding to Certis Cisco. Heard from my colleagues that there was gonna be some dramatic unveiling of the new looks of the vehicles and stuff. all of us were anticipating something big and it wasnt disappointing. confetti, nitrogen, lasers and all that. haha quite cool.. marketing did good.
all of the rest had not eaten the whole day, been too busy to. and then we gathered in the ballroom and ate our fill. the fun part came when we started bitching about the sales people's weird cam poses. and guessed some sl*tty looking person's age blah. haha.. my colleagues talked quite loudly and we were gesturing at them but they didnt really care. hahaha they could still chat to them after that. power. haha Zerline was forced to drink white wine and her face and neck was bloody red and she got a lil happy. lol.. the wine was nice but i only had one sip! they ran out damn soon. some of the guests were almost drunk and were laughing really loudly. mad people. had to wait for people to clear the place and everyone just stoned in the preparation room and started to go crazy coz most of them were too tired. alvin said some really lame stuff and i had to retort. sharolyn told him he'd better wish his kid doesn turn out like me. haha and they said i looked like a security guard and asked me to consider a career in security. CRAP. haha. they were all too tired.
this post sounds boring so there'll be photos to try to up the lively factor a bit. haha
i think i sound super bored. i used to like to read my own posts. maybe a year ago? i guess maturity comes at a price. HAHA
