First Week Excitement

Call it luck, I had great fun during my entire first week! One of the highlight here is the Townhall Event of which "Growth" is the theme this time. Okay, you readers may be a little lost right now. In Maybank we have "TIGER" core values of which stands for Teamwork, Integrity, Growth, Excellence and Efficiency, and Relationship building.

Being the newbies in this department, Leon and I were assigned to help on the decorations of the Townhall, *LOL* (executive turned designers), and we were up to the task. Energy pumped up, we cut and paste, etc, and we get all the boards done before the event roll by which is on the next day.

We are supposed to travel to Dataran Maybank (Etiqa) for the event, and we were there early, to help out with the set-up and all. This event was supposed to coincide with the Cny celebration, and so we got few Chinese characters to put up on the wall. Shame on Leon and I, we are clueless because both of us are literally "banana". We were asked to be there early because they wanted us to identify the Chinese characters. Everybody had a great laugh, fortunately, we had some other colleagues to sort it out.

Time for lunch, the food are okay, they prepared chicken, mutton, veggies, cakes, desserts, etc, our stomach are well served. And so the event begins. Again, being the newbies, we were asked to be time keeper, which is very interesting. Every 5 minutes talk, and there will be a reminder for them. Next activity required teamwork, whereby we have to answer 20 general questions and design something out of the "growth" theme. And I'm proud to say, our team won second runner-up. =)

I personally enjoyed this event so much, I think this is a perfect way for all the staff to mingle around, get to know each other, and deepens their understanding on the core values. I'm really looking forward for more to come. I totally heart it. =D
