AGM Madness!

It was the coy's AGM last friday and boy it was an interesting experience..LOL

Firstly, let me relate to you this interesting shareholder. He asked me for directions to the toilet and i showed him the way. Next, he asked me if we have Business Times newspaper. Lol!
Huh!!! AGM's going to start anytime soon and he still wants to do big business and still have time to read newspaper in the toilet!! Funny man!!
I went to find for the Business Times but it was not available. Poor man, no newspaper to 'entertain' himself while doing big business! :P

Well...saw some really KS shareholders who came to the AGM for the Food!! they even admitted it themselves and it was the same as for their behaviours during the buffet.

My colleague who was ushering them to their seats told me that this woman sat right at the last row of chairs near to the exit of the door. She went up to the lady and suggested to her that it would be better for her to move up to the unoccupied front rows where she can see the screen better, guess what's her reply!! hahaha. The lady said: " I prefer to sit in the last row in case that..(she mumbles something) gets to the buffet first!" I think she was trying to refer to another fellow shareholder who was just as KS as her! and oh yes! her dressing was so out of the world!! my god!! when i saw her, i was trying to control myself. She wore this sarong dress thing right till her heels and to top the dress off, she had this necklace made of those balls..those styrofoam balls that had little green wiggles material thingy on them! i think each ball on the necklace had a diameter of 5cm! it was truely hilarious!! Even the director asked her: Wouldn't the balls tickle her!! hahaha

After the resolutions were passed, the AGM came to an end. Next was the buffet.

Yum yum. it was catered from Peach Garden Restaurant. They serve really good food! Trust Me! There were siew mais, steamed dumplings, ee-fu noodles, prawn paste chicken, custard steamed buns, XO carrot cake!!

I saw the KS and greedy side of the shareholders. One of them (a old uncle) walked to the pantry and took those empty plastic containers and began to tapao food! He automatically walked and got the containers himself! wah! then that same lady did the same. My another colleague told me this is the Culture - Shareholders tapao food after the AGM!
I'm thinking what if its shark fins, abalones etc! but its only tim sum and they already so "gian", seriously, i rest my case.
Giving them the benefit of the doubt, perhaps they thought, since they invested in the company shares, they have the right to tapao as in a way they also 'paid' for the buffet with the investment. Oh well...

The coy was kind enought to give some goodie bags to them as they were leaving.
Inside the goodie bag - corporate gift (tyre radio), Food (soon kueh, bee kueh and otak)
I was giving out the goodie bags to them as they were leaving.
As one of the shareholders walked down the stairs, he asked me" Are you D's daughter?" I almost fainted and i sheepishly said: No...
( Do i really look like her? Pls! ) - D is the first alphabet of the lady boss's name.

Thankfully, the AGM went A-OK, my very last project for the company.
My job here is done.
The next week will be my last week with the company.
In the meantime, I'll take it easy as i await for my colleague to come back from leave to take over the job.
