~ 10:00 PM ~
One of the perks of my job is that I get invited to lots of very interesting events (and sometimes not so interesting events).
I was invited to the Aarena event by Allens Arthur Robinson tonight, which was the launch of the "Awesome Festival" by Artrage, held at the Artrage Bakery Complex, and may I just plog that it really is an awesome art exhibition. I had a lot of fun with the lawyers playing on the interactive arts exhibitions they had, stomping on people, burning retinas and turning lights off at the exhibition. May I just plog that if anyone is in Northbridge towards James Street, I highly recommend going to the Bakery to have a squiz.
Anyways, as part of my job, I also get to meet a lot of interesting and not so interesting people. Besides other mining types, I tend to meet quite a few lawyers and accountants. In the past, I must admit, the accountants have always been extremely dull networking types, and more often than not, the lawyers too.
But I was pleasantly pleased as I was being intro'd to the others at the Launch by my AAR contact, that AAR lawyers are by far the most interesting types I have encountered (and yes xin, that includes you haha). They had fantastic sense of humours, yapped for so long, and the best part? They didnt tell me all about their work, or ask me all about their work. They knew how to build rapport, and really engage with people.
So yes, double plog tonight for the lawyers at AAR, and for the Awesome Arts Festival.
