Avnet Customer's Appreciation Day!

Backtracked to a few weeks back, I went for the event - Avnet's Customer's Appreciation Day!

It was held at Resorts Sentosa on a Friday and I went with two of my colleagues, Lily & Qianqian.
We had a great time taking the public transport together, reaching the Resorts World Convention Center before 12 noon.
Headed to reception for registration and sat down for lunch thereafter.

A few talks / speeches went on and after which, we were splitted into different teams for the Amazing Race!
Teamed up with Lily, Qianqian, two others from IBM and two others from DFS.

The start-off was just a mere brisk walk for some photo-taking session with the parrot.
I got the parrot held on my hand, but didnt get a photo of it here eventually.

The Amazing Race began with watching the 4D Pirates Show that was really hilarious.
All the splish-splash of water, on-seat movements that got each one of us supra excited.
We had to answer a few questions after that and we moved on to the next station which we had to deduce from the hints itself.

Hello FR Team Members! :) 
The hint on the paper was "Once is never enough" and so we moved on to the next station which was the Ludge!
The challenge was to bite the cup filled with water in your mouth as you ride the ludge and ensure you collect adequate water to fill a container at the end of the ludge.
Sounds simple huh, but when you get on the ludge with your cup full of water, you will realise the water pours all over your chin and nose.
I didnt get wet till towards the end when you are about to return the ludge, everyone behind you dont really bother to brake and knock into you. The feel is like :" WTH? Thank you very much!"
So we poured the remaining water into the container and off we went for the next hint to the next station.

Then we took the sky ride!

Beautiful nature!

We were then supposed to climb all the way up to the Merlion to take a photo and pass to their game master assistants to move on to the next challenge.

Apparently, the Sky Tower was on maintenance so we had to give that challenge a miss.

The last challenge of all was to go into the past of Singapore and answer a few questions.
Below are some of my favourite pictures that I got while walking through the memory of lane to the past of Singapore.

The last challenge was to go to the souvenir shop and use up the vouchers given. But you must choose the cheapest items possible so that your quantity of gifts will be a tad more. 

And guess what? It was our first time participating in the event and we came in as the FIRST TEAM to accomplish the whole Amazing Race. And because of that, we each receive $50 Capitaland voucher along with $20 which comes as a door gift. Hehe. 

GOOD JOB TEAM D! :)

The loots from Avnet
We definitely had a great time on a Friday which was supposed to be a day at work.
At my age, I definitely enjoy this kind of sporty adventure once in a while! :) 

And the other day while at work, I received a courier from my Taiwan friend, Glenn!
She was so sweet lurh.
She went to London and knowing that I love Hello Kitty, she got this mini folder for me where Kitty was in The London Army uniform. Awwwwsss.
So touched that she still remember me wherever she goes and we only got to know each other through my last trip to Taiwan.

Talking about Taiwan, Yesyes, its time to share about the trip soon after lagging for such a long time. Oops!
