Singapore Motorshow 2008

Missing in action in my blog...that's largely because i have been working non-stop for the past weeks due to the Singapore Motorshow 2008 as i was required to be stationed at the booth. Though the participation rate is super low this year, we still have to participate due to a couple of reasons:

1. When we wanted to pull out, it was too late as we already made payment for the space and there is no refund.
2. Most importantly, our GM is actually the president of MTA (organiser of the motorshow) this year, which doesn't make sense for us to pull out.
So we have to still make the best out of our situation and below are the photos of our hard work:
Highlight of our booth: Honda F1 Car and also one of the most expensive thing we brought over. If not for F1, i would have been able to bring over the Honda Robot: ASIMO :-(

Other areas of the booth



We also decide the launch the all-new Honda City during the motorshow.

For this show, we also engage Michelle Chia as the emcee and she also make a few appearance over the weekend. She is a pretty friendly and approachable celebrity who even drop by with her finance, Shawn to say hi during her non-appearance days.

Also have a chance to meet up with MP - Teo Ser Lek who is the guest of honour for the Motorshow ... one of the more charming guy in the Parliament, right?

What is a motorshow, without pretty girls. So these are the models which i selected and spend a bomb on. They are actually very young, with the oldest at 21 and the youngest only at 16. Able to tell who is youngest and oldest? Quite fun to work with but at times still give me some headaches.

The marketing team. After we took this picture, we realise the last marketing team also have a similar picture and after that they are gone. Above that, those who does the motorshow will usually leave the company soon...so is there any tell-tale signs for me since i was fully responsible? heehee.

Me with my twin sister (aka colleague)...people keep suspecting that we are sisters and insist to see our work pass to verify. Anyway she is so much luckier than me since she is actually 1 yr younger than me but already a happy mum to a 5mths baby boy - Jerrell.

Me with m€y colleagues as well as arranging for a team shot with Michelle Chia.

Me alone with Michelle after her appearance at the first weekend. Should have took the picture before her appearance then we will have look nicer.

Anyway, it is indeed an experience for me to organise and participate in the motorshow. This is the part where i truly enjoy my job....have a great jobs satisfaction and fulfillment after seeing that the project is successfully done. But when i think of the environment and people, i just have lots of ????. Anyway have already concluded this place is not ideal for long term unless i am looking for a retirement job...so while waiting for the next opportunity to arise or knock at my door, I will try to make the best out of the situation..very positive right? But don't know how long it can continue. hehe.
