Wow, does the above photos make you feel hungry? This is the buffet breakfast that we had before our meeting start. Most people might have thought the buffet breakfast during our stay at the hotel must be complimentary but it's not true. Only a few of us who came earlier knew how Boss have to negotiate with the hotel manager before we got our daily breakfast. In fact, he actually have to pay to get the breakfast coupons yesterday and exchange a lunch menu for today's spread of yummy breakfast. This is the only option to make sure everyone don't go hungry during meeting. Through this, got to understand that the culture over there is so different. They are more interested in making money from the big "players" (those who played at the casino) and only them get the VIP treatment. So ya, bottom-line for this breakfast episode is to remind everyone not to take everything for granted, must learn to appreciate what people have done for you.

So the meeting also begins with a sharing from Boss on "Appreciation." Quoted him, "Appreciation is reflections." We need to be truly thankful and appreciate people who assist us to our success and also those who aid us during difficult times. Next is WL's turn to share. She also had a quote that is pretty meaningful and it goes, "To begin a journey one must have courage, to finish a journey one must have perseverance." The below video is a great motivation too. Basically, the video is about how people view insurance agents as - cockroach! However, don't be despair, continue to be with them, be sincere and when you get the deal, it will be forever.

After the meeting is free and easy time until 5pm. Went shopping with Pam. Below are some of the items that I've bought. I've also bought a big bag of snacks worth HKD 402 (Almond biscuit, peanuts sweet, etc) to bring back to Singapore. Seriously, I think the two bags and pair of shoe are considered the more expansive things that I've gotten for myself. Usually for bags, I won't buy it if it cost more than $30. For shoe, likewise. This pair of shoe from S.Culture cost me HKD699.00 but it's so comfortable I think it's worth the money beside I don't even have this kind of comfortable shoe at home. Only problem is this shoe is one size bigger and they actually have to put insoles inside so that my feet could fit. The insoles covered part of the original sole that has the pop up thingy that aids in massaging. For the two bags, I just love the design and colours so much I think I would regret if I don't buy them.

5pm and all of us gathered at room 35047 for a "bring you own glass" bonding session. The lack of power nap makes me look super tired and many asked if I was not feeling well or what. Sat at a corner and rested until my energy level is back and that's when I took over to become the photographer. Everybody was in high spirits and lots of nice photographs were taken with mine and Pam's camera.
-------------------------------------------------------
After the great bonding, we went back to our rooms to freshen up before we gathered at West lobby for our coach to bring us to our dinner venue.
By the way, this dinner was treated by Boss too.
The scrumptious and expansive meal.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
This photo too.
And we went down to the shopping area since it's the last night here.
Steal some free Wi-Fi and had a drink at Starbucks before went back to hotel to sleep.

Went back to my room and I remembered I have to take a photo of me with my room unit. Think this photo of me looks nice. Credit to Pam.
