Motivational Speech for Whitford

This is a no surprise to me when Peter, my MD, knows that I had a series of beautiful pictures when I returned from my Finland Audi Driving Experience this early April and he told me to give a presentation about my Finland trip to all the Whitford employees and motivate them by telling them whatever things you do, do it with passion and you will be awarded one of these days.

So, this morning, with a 30+ slides of what VAGSG is all about and of coz, with the musical slideshow which Alex has done for us, the whole presentation was delivered with a "Wow" factor. I even received some private messages from my fellow colleagues that the presentation was very well done. Thank you, folks! Here are some pictures taken by Herbert Tan, our company photographer, ;-)

Its also quite scrary if you look somehow similar to your boss, ah! kekee

Mac Ritchie Walk

Its school holiday once again and being the good uncle, I brought Val and Glenn to some good nature walk at Mac Ritchie trail. It was hot in the morning but we did enjoy the walk.

Audi Driving Experience - the special edition

With the rest of all the Finland gang, Audi invited all of us for a special Audi Driving Experience event which was unlike the rest. We had the photo presentation specially done up by our main photographer for the group, which was simply brilliant! Love all the pictures he took. Next, of coz, got a speech by Reinhold & Uwe and some briefing by Uwe before the drive.

We took the different models, 1.8T, 2.7TDi for a few spins and then we had a fun race. Quickest and More Precise will win!

The track was filled with turns, corners and cones. Once you knock one down, 2sec off your record. Sounds easy? Wait till you have your chance to drive on the track. But hey, it was all for fun and after the drive, we had some nice fingering food for lunch.

Shortly after our lunch, everyone was waiting eagerly for the results & award giving. Not surprising - Alex got the 1st award (a beautiful Audi golf bag) with the quickest time - 1.01 min. followed by Audibum (yep yep, I invited him for the event and he better win himself something back) - 1.02 min and I came in 3rd - 1.05 min

now, this Audi sports bag just come handy for my coming road trip to KL this long weekend. Yepeee !

Thanks Jon for these beautiful picture taken! More pictures can be seen at VAGSG forum.

Audi Driving Experience

No no.. this time aint Finland! Its in SINGAPORE!!!!

With S$2million of investment in this new Audi A4 launch event, how bad can the event gets, right?

5pm sharp, Rodney, Ally, Terence & his Indonesian friend, Aaron, aiai and myself arrived at Changi Exhibition Centre with convoy. We went to register our names (of coz, I did not get to drive as I had enough of the quattro poisoning session at Finland) at the front desk and then followed by an impressive presentation by Jordi and 4 live Audi cars spinning around showcasing the features of the new A4.

After a quick briefing from each of the instructors, accordingly to your color team, the test drive began! Thats what everyone had been waiting for.

The session divided into 3 parts - Spinning in the 3.2quattro driven by the instructor, test drive the 1.8T with the sales executive, lastly, the dymantic drive in the 2.7TDI. These will give those drivers a really good feel of how the new Audi A4 can do.

I really love the last part - The Quattro Demo, a drag race of a Benz S-class with the Audi4 running across a platform of metal plates with lots of oil on top of it. And guess who is the winner?

and guess what!? The best part of it, after the movie, Aiai was very angry about me buying the S5! Hahhaaa... Women!

Dhrama Seminar @ Teochew Building

Ow Pa came over to Rosewood to fetch me to attend the Dhrama seminar about the taming one's mind and the buddha teaching at TeoChew Building. There were 2 sessions, the 4pm and the 7pm. I also brought Ow Pa and Ow Ma to Fish & Co and ordered the best fish & chips for Ma and the seafood platter for Pa. And they both love it!

After the dinner, we continued to sit in for the 2nd session until Aiai came to meet us with the Kab after her long meeting with her boss and her distributer at Holiday Inn. I accompanied her to have her late dinner at Zion food centre and then we drove home after that.

Got a great present from Ow Di. Yep, its the integrated Seagate external firewire/USB HD which I longed wanted. Thanks Di! Now, I can dump all my digital pictures into that huge mega disk and keep my PC HD free and fast.
