Of Holloween and meetings...

31 Oct 2007, Wednesday - A non-event and a big event....

"Trick or treat!!!" goes the kids.... - this didn't happen here in AU. Holloween is not a big event here in BNE. Sure, the shopping centres and the supermart sells costumes and gears and lots of sweets and candies for this day but it is not as celebrated compared to people in the US.

Though it's not celebrated, my big boss still gave each an everyone of us.....










Thank you Lori!



And on this frightening day, we were also managing the registration for Suncorp's AGM meeting at the Brisbane Convention Centre. As it is one of the biggest meeting we have here in Brisbane, there were 8 of us doing registration, Kylie and Lori ushering and directing the attendees as well as an IT expert flown in from Sydney for the meeting. We all took a guess of the final number of visitors and shareholders attending the meeting. Kevin's guess was the closest and we had close to 500 attendees.

Since Terry, Kevin and Rach (Squabbron) were together again, the "squabbing" continued while the others remained clueless to our jokes and sniggers....

Thanks to Suncorp, we had lunch, finger food and drinks catered for us! It was definitely one of the best meetings I had attended. Their ham & cheese croissants are just heavenly and to die for... We even had the opportunity to have them when they were fresh out of the oven!

When things were quiet, Terry had given us some insights into some very sinful facts on:
1) 1 croissants = 12 slices of white bread

2) 1 Krispy Kreme original glazed doughnuts = 2.5 Big Macs....

Go figure... the next time you bite into any of the above, think about the amount of "actual food" that you are eating... lucky for me, they are neither my favourite nor first choice of food...
