Oh man! I forgot to blog about my 1st experience with PM Lee!
Last sunday morning, went to attend a function with my mom. it's call the Singapore Central Development Council. My mom is appointed 1 of the councilor for that district. The advisor for the district is PM Lee himself! So that district is very power. Because it consists of MM Lee too! Hahaha. So it's a very honourable thing!
As it's a formal event, everyone is in suit and tie, but i was in shirt only! Ok. Then everyone was high flyer. The people my mom talked to is all doctors or businessman. All seems very rich. I look so... Ermmm.. Out of place.Hahaha.
After the function, there was a lunch reception. My mom was talked to her friend just outside the ballroom. I was beside her. Then PM Lee just came out of the ballroom, he came to our group. He shaked both my mom and my hand. Then my mom say "This is my son, i brought him to attend the function" Then PM Lee say "Oh! Is it?" Then he asked me where am i working at.
This is how the conversation goes.
PM Lee : So you are schooling or working now?
Me : Working.
PM Lee : Oh. At where?
Me : Parkway Shenton as an Operation exec
PM Lee : Parkway Shenton? What is it?
Me : It's a healthcare group with Parkway Holdings
PM Lee : So what is Parkway Shenton?/
*I was hoping my mom would help me answer! But she didn't! Later i will explain why she didn't*
Me : It's Parkway Holdings, it's a healtcare group.
PM Lee : Yah... I know Parkway Holding is a healthcare group.
Me : Oh. Parkway Shenton is like a branch for Parkway Holdings.
PM Lee : Ic.. So does Parkway have other projects in overseas?
Me : *BLUR*! (I just joined the company like 1 month plus!)
Mom : Oh yes. They have. (Then my mom said some countries)
PM Lee : Oh. *Turn to me* So are you a doctor?!
Me : NO! I'm not a doctor, just a executive. Hahaha. *I laughed*
PM Lee : Ok *Smile and move on*
SCARE THE HELL OUT OF ME!
Then i asked my mom why she never help me answer. She say, usually this kind, when PM is asking me the question, it must be me who answer, cannot let others help me answer. It's very rude. Then i understand. Hahaha.
WHAT AN EXPERIENCE SCARY!!!!
