Reunion Gathering Feedback
Some
of our colleagues have given their feedback on our 2019 Reunion Gathering on
June 15th held at the SMU Lounge.
Anna
Ho (Hong Kong)
"Just
want to thank you once again for including us for the Singapore reunion.
Agree totally with Poh Wah's comments. Our appreciation goes to all the
sponsors and the ambassadors. We have taken advantage of and enjoyed all
the benefits and services that went into the event."
Jacob
Wong (Hong Kong)
"
Thank you very much for allowing us to join the 2019 Reunion in Singapore.
It was fantastic and we all loved it, particularly on meeting all our
good friends in the AIA family. Please do include my email in your
distribution list so that I can get those related news.
Seeing
you in the coming events."
Lily
Rumjahn (Hong Kong)
"
Douglas, thank you and the Alumni Ambassadors for all the hard work in
organizing the reunion. It was totally enjoyable to spend time with
members of the alumni and everything was well organized. We all loved the
performance by the very professional band and the photo booth. So happy to
receive hard copies of the photos which we can always flip through from time to
time."
Kevin
Chia (China)
"
Let me first thank you for organising this event. I know it is very troublesome
to be doing this and that it takes great determination and sense of purpose to
continue doing this.
For
me who have been in China for over 20 years and having left AIA Singapore for
even longer, these previous meetings let me keep in touch with so many old
colleagues, some of whom I have forgotten their names. And as we grow older, we
will even forget more persons as our minds deteriorate.
I
am so glad that Edmund himself turned up, knowing well that he has so many
functions and do not easily turn up for such social functions.
As
for the function, my flight back was truly worthwhile. It was a delightful
evening to meet so many old friends and have so much good food. And all for
free!!!
From
the looks of the others present, you can clearly see that they were enjoying
themselves. In their old days in AIA, I don't even see them fraternize so much.
You can also see your group of loyal supporters. Thank you once again."
Daniel
Tan (Perth, Australia)
"
It was a nostalgic and memorable event for me to catch up with all levels of
AIA staff from Singapore including those from Hong Kong, other neighboring
regions. We have over abundance of foods and drinks, music, instant photos, and
prizes to take home including lasting friendships and memories!
Thank
you, Douglas and your committed team for organizing this special reunion for
all of us. It worth all the effort to reschedule my flight to make it."
Clement
Lien (Indonesia)
"Thank
you Douglas for organizing such an enjoyable gathering. I am happy that I have
the opportunity to meet up with old friends. Hope that we can continue with
this tradition."
Timothy
Chia (Singapore)
"Let
me first thank you and all my former colleagues , who have now become friends,
for again putting together a very warm and nostalgic reunion .
So
good to see so many familiar faces and suddenly you begin to realise that it
has been nearly 3 decades that we were all working together and how time has
flown .
Great
to have given Edmund Tse a ride to and from the party as I haven't seen him for
more than 20 years and, short as it was, we had a great catch up time.
Looking
forward to the next one! "
Sarah
Ong (Singapore)
"It
was a relaxing night with good food, great company, overflowing of fine
wine, soothing music and fun photography session to capture our precious
memories with our ex-colleagues. Thanks to all for making it yet another
unforgettable gathering."
Jenny
Wong (Singapore)
"It
was a well organized event. Thank you Douglas and the organizing committee for
making the reunion of the alumni possible."
Ronald
Seah (Singapore)
I
think it was well organised and as in previous years provided a very good
opportunity for old friends and colleagues to re-connect.
Lance
Tay (Singapore)
"A
great gathering of all the wise man and woman! Also, made me feel young as I
think I am below the average age of the group! This gathering was made special
by the presence of Edmund Tse who looked exactly the same as he was in 1985
when I joined AIA!
Cheers
Douglas and thanks for organising another great reunion."
We
thank all the colleagues who have given their feedback. Indeed the opportunity
to meet fellow colleagues, past and present, resonated from all who have
attended the reunion.
The
critical success factor for all reunions is the presence of attendees or else
all efforts will be fruitless and with limited outcome.
Remember
that in human relationships, we can experience moments of happiness and
pleasure. Keep the collegial friendship intact as you continue to journey
through life.
