This year,
our company sponsored one of the section at the Lee Kong Chian Natural Museum
located at NUS. As such, the company organized an outing for staff and their
family to visit this museum.
When we
arrived on this hazy late Saturday morning, there were many staff were already
there checking out the entertainment corner for the children while some were
busy chatting away with the family members.
After the
late arrival of our GM, he gave a speech before the cheque presentation to the
museum. We were then broken up into groups and went on to tour the museum with
a guide. He was pretty much knowledgeable and was able to answer many of our quirky
questions.
I personally
like the museum as it housed many interesting remains like the dinosaurs,
asteroids, animals, insects, shells and many other species. It was pretty much like
the grave of the dead animals and plants.
Faith enjoyed
herself and I am glad that she was happy to tour around the museum and with
some simple questions asked. I really hope she actually absorb some knowledge
of the stuff she saw here.
After the
1 hour tour, the staff gathered at the external area for our lunch. The place
was pretty hot though it was sheltered. We however, managed to get some seats
indoor otherwise; our kiddos will be screaming even if the lunch is super good.
To my
disappointment, our GM & HR DH did not mingle with the staff but hide
themselves away from the crowd enjoying their food. The rest of the staff were
happy to mingle around and talked about the museum. I guess they have forgotten
that this is a company event and shouldn’t this be the opportunity for them to
get to know their staff better?
Anyways…. The
outing was good and I guess we will be back again with the family when they had
other new addition to their collections.
