Citi Asia Pacific Summit

*playing The Pretender by Foo Fighters


Long awaited pictures from my gig event job at the Ritz Carlton Millenia.
My role was as the presentation track assistant which was essentially to ensure notes are giving out during the presentation on time. Hinting to the speakers that their time are running out as the next speaker is waiting as well as holding the mikes and spotting questions from the participants during the Q&A sessions.

At first I thought I could sit through and try to understand the terminologies the investors were using and maybe learn something from it. But the terminologies proved too difficult and the early morning Zzz monster kept casting the Zzz... spell on me. On the third day, I succumb to the Zzz monster and fell asleep on the chair i was sitting and almost fell off the chair... Imagine how embarassing it is if I really had fall...


Yes I'm in charge of holding one of these mikes...


In the ballroom


Our view seated of course.


The people packing in...


Listening intensely from the head of investments from Citi Group


Our very Minister Lim Hng Kiang who is the guest of honor for this year's Citi Asia Pacific Summit


Minister Lim says he thinks accountants are the smartest people in the world after the previous speaker Robert Morse CEO, Asia Pacific, Citi Markets and Banking mentioned that his wife an engineer are the smartest. Needless to say minister lim's wife is an accountant...


Who wants to be a millionaire? Audience please vote...


Ready for the next onslaught of fixed income investors.


The ballroom empty.


Voila!~


The breakfast that was served to all


Yes I get to eat this mini Quiche pronouced "keesh" too!


6 Star hotel delicacies wor...


I think my pictures make them look good.


Although it is kinda tiring having to eat this breakfast almost everyday of the 3 day summit.


We have no choice....


The gala dinner helmed by guest speaker Professor Fan Gang from China.


The audience having have to listen to Professor Fan Gang's presentation before being serve proper food.


Meanwhile back stage, we were served our dinner before helping out at the gala dinner.


It's essentially the same food being serve at the gala dinner except theirs was a 8 course meal while ours was just 2 course


Obviously this is the 2nd course I was talking about.


It's damn nice lah I tell you the chocolate.


Some pictures of the other "courses" served to the participants







With wine accompanying...


And belly dancing ladies.












That pretty much sums up my event job aka Good times good money part 2!

avec le prochain
jh out!~

p.s : I hope I can work the next good times good money in November 08!~

Name:
Location: Singapore

Not boring not exciting, not lazy not hardworking, not handsome not ugly, not short not thin, not a bad guy not quite mommy's boy either. Regular Singaporean guy who like most guys probably get several different colours of the same shirt, t-shirt, berms, jeans once they fall in love with a particular design. Been through the era of cassette tapes of walkmans to discmans(remember the anti-shock technology) as well as MiniDisc(coming out at a bad time) which obviously lost to the emergence of mp3s and the CD to LD which saw LD losing out to VCDs. Next came the DVDs which 0wned the vcds and try to act smart by having 2 groups, HD DVD and Blu Ray. 2 words BLU.RAY. Loves to reminisce the old days when A&W rootbear float was still around and KFC was still a restaurant complete with waiters serving you Kentucky Fried Chicken. The days where bus fares were 10 cents for students and pizza hut's lunch buffets. Moves/dances to the jumpy music of Ipod Ads and likes to laugh at the Hello I'm a Mac, Hello I'm a PC advertisements!
