From 26th - 29th June, we helped out at HCJC too :) This time, we are known as "game mentors", who guide JC students throughout the gameplay for marketplace. It's quite funny cos' we are regarded as "seniors" when we are with the young, and "assistants" when we are with the seniors, loL.




My group is the only non-HCJC team who entered the finals. They were buddies since their secondary school days in Anderson Sec. Since i'm from AJ, i'm considered affliated to them too, hahaha. Anyway, they are really guai, adorable, and like my little brothers. :) They love watching Simpsons video clips during their breaks, hahaha. The guy in front, Edmund, is the leader of this group. He looks rather like the younger version of toolbox, hahaha.

Matthais's group kept holding on to these wombat plushies. According to them, these wombats are their good luck mascots and each member of their clique owns one. They always bring these wombats to whichever competitions they participate in.

Matthais with his group and the pack of wombats.

Lunch on the last day with 2 members from Matt's team, at a cafe in Coronation Plaza. The food's quite worth it. There's soup, garlic bread, one main course and free flow of drinks, and students pay only $6.50 :) Really worth it :)

Clement with his team. The cutest female participant is in his group :)

Me wif my group again. They came in 3rd in position. A real pity cos' only the top 2 teams have cash prizes. But at least they beat 2 HCJC teams :)

The thank-you gifts which my group prepared for me. :) So sweet of them cos' most of the other teams didn't perpare anything for their mentors. My NJ team gav me so many chocolates cos' i always buy them chocolates during that 4 days, hahaha. And on that little piece of blue note, they wrote "Thank you for your guidance these 4 days. =) Even though we may not be the winner, we still love you :)"

AwwWw.. *melts* I'm going to keep this note with me forever ^-^

For the past 2 weeks, I've ventured back into Marketplace again. In case u dunno wad's Marketplace is, it's actually a virtual business stimulation game which i played during my EN104.

Introducing the crew: (Back row from left) Kenny, Clement, Alvin, me, Matthais, Zul. The guy in front is our boss, Howe =)




We were employed as game assistants to assist the senior executives from Air Liquide throughout their stimulation game. Basicially, we are there to guide them through the program, help them if there's any technical difficulties, take care of their welfare, interact with them and so on.


There's 6 teams in total, but i only hav pics for 5 of the teams =x. Anyway, Do take note of that beau sitting in front of me. He's my eye candy throughout the whole 2 weeks and i'm so lucky that he's in my team, hahaha. Andreas's the youngest in my team, and he's the CEO. :) He's super shuai, charming and charismatic in real life. He's really sweet to his wife too, cos' he skipped the closing dinner on the last day to rush back to Austria to celebrate his wife's birthday. Furthermore, he had planed his wife's birthday party so merticulously that he took 1 whole month to prepare for everything. =) If only he was 20 years younger, wahahHax.


It's really cool to interact with the senior executives too. They are really capable and well.. rich, hahahax. A terrific place to find sugar daddies. Anyway, they are all high-ranked staff from 16 different countries, working for Air Liquide - a company originated from France which deals with soluble gases, compressed gase etc. They were specially selected to fly over to Singapore for a 2 weeks training program :)

Oh, and it's a pity that i didn't learn to speak foreign languages too =x. In my team, there's Jacky who speaks French, Takeshi who speaks Jap, Andreas who speaks German, Athanassios who speaks Greek and of cos', Ming Yi who speaks perfect Mandarin. There's even guests from Agentina, Spain, Canada, Taiwan, so on and so forth. I did try to learn a few German and greek words, but i can't really rmb them now. =x German is much easier to pronounce than greek though.


Ooh, and Air Liquide invited us for the closing dinner too :) According to the Logistics manager, Sharon, each pax for this dinner costs $90!!! Of cos' that's inclusive of wine, food, utensils, decorations and everything.



The Floral arrangements, wif candle holders at the top to hold the tealight candles :)




The seats were pre-arranged :) That's white wine at the back. It didn't taste v.nice and even Matthais rejected it. We had red wine too, and according to Matthais, the red wine was of premium quality.

The appetizer - Pan seared scallops in shell, drizzed with cardamon emulsion. The salad on the right is actually strawberries =)



Next up - Cream of carrot, topped with paprika-cheese bread sticks. The soup is really special and yummy and we couldn't get enough of the break sticks. It tastes like ten times better than normal garlic bread. :)


Main course - Silver cod. Citrus marinated cod fish served with orange sauce reduction, potato mash and seasonal vegetables. We could choose between steak and fish and since i can't eat beef, then i took the fish :) The sauce is really nice, but the seasonal veggies was quite horrid cos' it's soft brinjals and i never like brinjals =x The mashed potatoes was nice and thick though. N it's really filling :)



Dessert - Tiramisu. It's pretty yummy and there's lots of brandy in it. The transparent cup contains a minty raspberry drink thingy which i really really love :)




Lastly, coffee, loL.


Oh, and we took photos with lots of the senior guests too. :) And being the only female game assistant, i had the privilege of receiving many compliments and requests to take photos too, hehe. Afterall, Caucasians tend to be more expressive, especially since they were a lil' tipsy after the drinks, loL.


This is Clement's hunk, Jerome. Clement really thinks that Jerome is vV.shuai and apparently, he's indeed good looking, especially in this photo :) But i must still argue that Andreas is more shuai than Jerome in realy life, haha. Anyway, Clement was so shy to request for an individual photo with Jerome that he told him that I think he's very good-looking and wants to take a photo with him. Lol. Luckily i'm nice enough to not sue him for mis-using my name. Anyway, poor Clement got ignored by Jerome in this photo, hehe.

Us with Jamie. He's a Canadian and we think he looks like a wrestler, haha. Jamie doesn't know wad's wrestling though. He says he plays kickboxing :)

Our gift for our wonderful boss =) OoH, we made souvenirs for the senior executives too =)
