REC Industrial Update

It was actually a training la. Only the name sounds abit canggih. Industry update. It is an annual thing done by the managers in my department to update us on the recent chnages in FRSs and some other things that we should know for the upcoming peak for audit firms.

This year's industry update was held at the KGPA. To be honest, training was only done for the first half of the day. It was so brief that I didn't really quite understood what was it all about. And after some time, we were simply not listening anymore. I meant, me and my gang. We were seated right up at the front, chatting and exchanging pictures. C'mon. We were bored. Yea, yea, yea. I know it was rude.

And then, for the second half of the day, we had team building exercises. I don't know about it, but that's quite a regular thing in my department as well. Suka-suka, team building. Suka-suka play team games. So what did we do? First, there's this human bingo. Then, the human spider, where they tied our hands to one end of a string and we had to entangle ourselves from it. Then we had to build a bridge out of newspapers that could hold a full 1.5 litre mineral bottle. Tough huh? But my team managed to do it. Yay!

After the games, we hung out at my colleague's place to freshen up before heading to Tropicana Golf and Country Club for a dinner. It's part of the training as well. There's a dress code this year. We can only go in 3 colours. And each colour signifies your love status. Red for the married and unattached. Orange for those who has complicated relationships and green for singles and availables. If you don't dress to the code, you'll get punished. The organizing committee was forcing us to make our stand. Haha. No need to guess, I went in green. Obviously. But, the room was mostly in red and green. Some don't really dress to their status anyway. It was all just for fun.

The juniors and newcomers got orientated that night. So we sat back, feasted and enjoyed the show. Their orientation performance was all about TV series : CSI, American Idol, America's Next Top Model, Heroes, Desperate Housewives. Then we had some lucky draws. Orientated the newly promoted managers with some real embarrasing catwalks. Crowning of our very own Mr and Ms REC. Which went to the managers la by the way. Played some more games. More cheerings and clappings And not to forget, photo snappings.

The night ended rather late with a gift exchange event. Since Christmas is coming rite? I got a small musical Xmas tree. In white and pink. Lovely. It's sitting on my shelf now. It was another wonderdul night. I had fun.
