It has been quite awhile since the last time that I blogged. Well, it has been a really full and hectic months with learning all the new workloads and new work style under a management of new lady boss. Girl power! Yeay!
Previously we had been hosting the CNY events at the hotels but this year our CEO decided to do something so different. Last week we hosted a Chinese New Year celebration for the very first time at a cinema, which was at GSC Premiere Cinema, Signature, The Gardens Mall. The price was very reasonable but of course you can't expect you will get the same quality of services that hotels could offer.
I was so nervous yet I was very excited at the same time. The event started with an informal lunch and network session then followed by a cantonese movie screening - Journey to the West. I did not expect that to get GSC to provide a set of pop corn and coke for all guests was such a good idea. I personally received glowing feedback from a few guests about how they had fun with a new way of us celebrating the festive event especially the part when they got pop corn and coke for free! A-Ha!

This is our door gift specially made for our guests. It is a mug filled with either rose or jasmine tea. Bought this mug at IKEA. IKEA has never failed to impress me with their cute little stuff! At 1st I thought of putting little mandarin oranges in the mug but when the event was getting closer - the idea to put a tea sachet popped into my head. After seeking opinions from my fellow colleagues of how to decorate it, tadaaa... here's the result... A mug filled with a pouch of tea leaves. The idea was contributed collectively by my colleagues and myself. Teamwork really can do wonders!
This picture was captured at the beginning of the event by our official photographer Juaini Shamsul... A few of guests just stepped in and registered.
Here are some of my colleagues entertaining their respective guests. The idea was having an informal lunch and networking session. Everyone was free to mingle around. After lunch and networking, the guests were invited to watch "Journey to the west", by Stephen Chow.
Sempat lagi nak berposing dalam kesibukan event ni bersama mak yong yang suweet - muweet at the longest registration table.... We had 2 sweet girls who did the registration, other 2 cute girls who distributed the movie ticket and another 2 pretty girls who distributed the door gift. Hehehehe....
Alhamdulillah... I received this thank you email from my CEO. He was very happy with the new look and feel of our CNY event. But honestly, I would not be able to do it right without the efforts from the whole team to put on such a colourful event. I'm glad I have moved on far from my comfort zone to a totally more challenging role. This role won't be able to please everyone although everyone expects you to please them. Sometimes I guess we just have to believe in ourselves and we have to keep moving on no matter what... Although the event was not totally perfect but Alhamdulillah it went on smoothly...
