Today is KPMG Annual's Senior Conference and its held at Orchard Country Club. Was looking forward to it ever since i received the invitation to go. At least its a day off work to have some fun! The country club is quite a nice place and the grand ballroom is huge! We have about 59 tables and there are still lots of space in the room!

The senior conference is for all the seniors (S3 + S4) and the assistant managers. There are 11 of us from our unit but we were all splitted up into different tables. I was assigned to table 3, right in front! Thus abt to take a decent shot of the stage.

Overall, i would say that the conference is quite a good one. It has made me realised and learn more things about KPMG, eg, i don't know that our HR Director, Steven is actually a member of PIC (the band performing at Wala Wala, and they are really good at it!), our Marketing Director, Philip is also the author of Little Miracles (a book about the things he experience in parenthood and the problems he and his wife faced during the pregnancy period). He was also on the chinese doucmentary show (sat 9.30pm) about couples who have difficulties in bearing a baby, talking about his experiences (i watched that show! And yet i didnt realised its him!! lol...) So we have famous ppl in our company ...
There are also questions and answers session whereby we are suppose to write down things which we hoped that the company can change or improve on and the head of the department would then look into it and see if there are feasible ways to do it. I feel that this is good, especially when the company is actually taking us seriously and making plans to change the system. Such changes can be seen in the past one year: modifying our leave system, raising the OT cap levels. However there are also some "culture" problems which Singapore, being an Asian country, having asian behaviours (unlike the westerners), its very hard for us to take the lead and voice out / change the so call "common bad practice" that some of our managers has..so i guess in that, we still need more time to do it.
Meals are provided throughout the day; breakfast, morning tea break, lunch, afternoon tea break, cocktail session and finally dinner. At the end of the day, the company presented everyone a special "Treat" which is a free Membership card at The Legends (@ fort canning hill).
The dinner was quite good and the ambience was nice. PIC was playing nice songs throughout the dinner.
