Outing To Lee Kong Chian Natural Museum

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.
