Received a gift from my candidate

Last friday, Sophia Lee signed the offer with Singtel for the 6 months contract Business Executive position. Was quite happy for her because she is already 44 yrs old but her job experience was quite good with 20 yrs in YSL.

After signing the contract with Singtel, she came to my office to sign our contract terms, she said that the job is a new challenge for her because the industry and work is totally different from what she has done before. My surprise is she actually bought a box of fruit tarts and gave it to me. This was the first time that i have candidate giving me a gift after i successsfully place them a job. Previously, it was always my colleague and boss who received treats from candidates and i shared the treats with them, but this is the first time that i recived it myself and i get to share with them. I feel a sense of achievement and joy.

Buffet Steamboat Dinner at Hotpot Culture

Yesterday, i meet up with Wenhua, Baozhu and Jinglan to celebrate Wenhua's birthday. Wenhua suggest having dinner at Hotpot culture (Marina Square). http://www.hotpotculture.com/
Ok, sounds new and interesting to me and feedback from Wenhua and Baozhu seems very good. I'm looking forward...

The buffet include a mini-steamboat for each person and you get to select and order from a variety of side dishes to go with your steamboat. There are few kinds of broth to choose from for your steamboat:- Chicken Broth, Hot & Spicy Broth - a.k.a "Tom Yum", Fish Broth, Kimchi Broth & Herbal Broth. I like the concept because as each have own steamboat, we can choose the favors we like and take ingredients based on own preferences. The side dishes are also good. I like the sweet & sour fish and chicken meatballs.

The buffet also come with chocolate fondue. The best part is the fondue is refillable and you can get to eat as much as you like. It comes with fruits, marshmellow and ice-cream. Yummy :)

Everything is good, but at the end of the dinner, we were so stuffed. Boazhu neven feel like vommitting. That is the problem with having buffets, its good and we eat and eat. While eating, you won't feel anything but after that you'll feel so guility and sinful. Should really stop going for buffets and avoid overeating.
