Reception area of the RWS BOH at Pandan Gardens...
Corporate Induction 2-Day Program. I gotta admit it was quite boring on Monday, you know the usual lecture kind whereby they tell you what are our core values, our vision and mission and history etc. But nonetheless there were so many things I didn't know of the Genting Group before so it was still beneficial.
Also, that was a sharing of the products we have at RWS. Of cos we all know USS, and there are 6 different hotels (2 opening next year) catering to different guests, the largest oceanarium in the world (opening next year) housing over 700,000 species of marine life. Wow that's a lot leh if you compare to the current largest at Aussie with about 450,000 and a Musical performance called Voyage de la Vie (La Vie for short) premiering on 17 June 2010 and others etc etc.
It was really cool to see the videos and breathtaking photos of the RWS site. I seriously think all of us should go to USS once... must try for almost everything hahaha, if not also must go there and take photos!! There are 7 zones; Hollywood, New York, Sci-Fi City, Ancient Egypt, The Lost World, Far Far Away and Madagascar. I'm not gonna start introducing each and every one of the zones but if you are keen to know, just ask me :)
Just some fun facts... USS is approximately 20 hectares in size which is equivalent to 59 football fields. There are 24 rides and attractions and next year we will be introducing the $180mil Transformer Ride which I totally agree it's gonna be a great attraction la!! Haha.
Right now, I know you are probably eager to know the pricing or maybe you want to know whether "hey jan, you got discount a not?"... well, I'm pleased to say I've staff discount of 30% HOWEVER only to 8 tix per calendar year =.= As such, I gotta say sorry cos I wanna "reserve" and only use them for my family members but if by the later part of the year they still have no plans of going then great, I'm gonna open to my dear frens, see either sc11 or bp gang faster lor lol...
As for the musical I mentioned, I've 50% discount la... and gotta say not cheap even after discount cos you know la pricing are like those esplanade ones or music concerts. So worth it a not only those who appreciates it will know lor.
I think I really have lotsa things to share but I really should end the entry asap so I can go fill the 28 pages long CRA form which is kinda like those history check you know... what to do, Sg authority mah is like this one we all know lor. Need to submit Credit Report and some Certification of No Criminal Conviction. I only had to apply for the Credit Report (if you are interested), no need to apply for CNCC cos CRA sure can get from the relevant authorities (maybe Police Dept or what) one lor.
But being such a good girl, of cos my record is clean one la... even the CRA form should be easy to fill cos I don't have assest, no liabilities no nothing lor. Haha, even cash I also very tempted to write $0 but of cos not until that serious yet la haha...
In the morning, we had a tower-builing competition and my group came in 2nd out of 8 groups which was really a surprise haha... cos we didn't expect that and we based our tower on stability instead of height so becos ours was stable it could hold a great 74 guests (represented by ping pong balls).
And also, in the afternoon we had to complete a challenge in the shortest time before the end of the program. The longest record was ~2 hrs. Difficult to explain the challenge but the record to break was 38 mins.
Our entire team of ~170 people from all 8 groups took about 70 mins. So even though we had our frustrations etc, there was still a sense of accomplishment upon completion. =)
Before I end, let me show you some new belongings :) That's my staff pass (in Gold btw not yellow haha), my AIA see-doctor-pay-only-10%-pass, my staff perks card with the USS and La Vie discount stickers, my name tag. And that paper is my reporting slip for tonight.
Yes guys, I will be working tonight reporting at 11.59pm which means 12 to 8-9 am shift. Of cos got allowance la... though not a lot but aiya better than don't have mah. Definitely must sleep in the afternoon later cos I have tuition in the evening as well. Let's see how it goes for tonight...
