Today lesson was actually from 8am to 11am but 3 of us which includes Michelle and Wan Ting. We had a workshop at the student hub so we skip AOA Lessons and we went for the workshop. There are a total of 3 trainers all from different companies but all are image consultant companies. The first lady was from Imago Image and her name was Ms Denise Ng she is the President Elect of the company. She started by introducing herself then she goes on teaching us Etiquette and how to show your confidence. We learn the correct form and manners with an international perspective, both verbal and non-verbal courtesies including greetings and introductions, social conversation, making requests, thanking and apologies. The next speaker was Serene Teo she teaches us Table Manners and she have brought a lot of samples to show us like Glasses,Plates,Forks,Knifes,Spoons,etc. All related to eating. She teaches us to differentiate between White Wine Glass and Red Wine Glass like white wine glasses is usually shorter than red wines and people usually drink white wine chilled while red wine at room temperature (Ard 18 degrees) and when go fine dinning all the 'Do's and 'Do Not' stuff. We learn how to peel prawns in properly by using fork and knife. Haha that was funny coz have to make sure it never flies out of the plate. And last but not least is Ms Audrey Quek she is formally Miss Singapore 1999 and she won the pretty mum award in 2007. She teaches us make-up and the steps in making up. Like first step we have to apply moisturiser,sun block,etc. Then after that put foundation etc. She is very detailed in teaching and she uses my face to show how to apply the eye shadow,etc she was very professional and i actually learn alot for her. Overall the workshop i find it very meaningful and fun in some ways. =) I will be helping out as packers on 27/02/09 together with Michelle.
