I was fortunate enough to go for the brand's training in Singapore even though I've just joined the company for less than a month. It was a very intensive 2 days training. I flew in the morning of the training day itself and it was quite tiring as I had to wake up at 4am.
I met my other counterparts from Australia, New Zealand, Korea and Vietnam as well.
After a day of training, I finally got to check in to the hotel, which was walking distance from the office.
(thank goodness)
After a quick change of clothes and freshened up, off I went for a short shopping spree with the Korean, just right before we all met up again with the principal for dinner. She managed to buy a pair of shoes, but I wasn't really in the mood of shopping. Maybe because I was feeling tired.
So, the principal bought us to One Fullerton area for dinner. We took some photos of the place before entering the restaurant as it was the first time for some of us to Singapore. Well honestly, I have been to Singapore for many times but I totally haven't got the chance to fully explore it; not every part of Singapore. What more there are new buildings or developments in Singapore?
So the below is the view of the famous and prestigious Marina Bay Sands.
Do you see the newly built LV boutique?
And ta da...me below the Marina Bay Sands...
So, we finally headed to the restaurant for a seafood dinner.
FYI - this was actually the bip they gave us to not dirty our clothes when we dug into the crabs.
Finally the night came..and this was taken from the 57 floor of Marina Bay Sands. The night view of Singapore.
Yup, we dropped by Ku De Ta for a drink. Very cool and nice place....very commercialised too!
Here is the group photo taken that night.
Second day came and we had a half day session again in the office.
After the training on External Relations and Operations, we headed for Shanghainese lunch.
Mini dumplings or you call it "Siao Loong Pau".
Each color represents a different flavour.
Our principal also brought us to Takashimaya to check out the Bulgari Christmas tree. It was really beautiful. The ornaments are actually the interpretation of the famous Bulgari heritage of gemstones.
Me & the tree!
Oh...we dropped by the Bulgari flagship store too. It's so prestigious till the extend that I will not walk in myself. It is the modernised replica of the first store at 10, Via Condotti.
I had to leave half way during the market visit as I needed to catch the flight home. By the time I landed, it was 9 pm. There was a delay as the weather was raining. Boy, I felt really exhausted after this 2 days. But it was really an eye opener and good learnings.
