boon's log 3110.01: Brush with celebrity
Although he's our very own kampong boy, he is still well-known in the culinary world. Our company invited Dato' Chef Wan to showcase a few of his signature dishes and also to sign a few (more like a few hundreds) of his cookbooks which were on sale at the specially set up MPH stand. I too was one of them who got suckered into buying one of his cookbooks, though I spend like 1/1000 of my time cooking. "Support local content-ma!", was my respond to some who asked why I departed with my RM57.
Not only that - I had to line-up with, like, twenty-over aunties and makciks to get his autograph. Not that I am THAT big of a chef Wan fan or anything. Just to join in the crowd I guess. Luckily I had a few guy-friends nearby who stood by me as I queued up. They also helped with taking photos with their cellphones too. Thanks, JT and BH! Now, where are the photos?! :)
Well, it is a nice effort from the company to bring some non-company faces in, to spice up the atmosphere a little bit. People have been a little down lately at the office and the production floor. Mainly because of multiple issues that led us to not meeting the monthly factory indicator goals. Well, let's keep our fingers crossed that August will be a better month for all of us. Let's make August a best Wan! Go team!
