Sydney Christmas party slideshow # 2

Hello you all,

Here are some fine photos taken from the camera of Mark Tabios. An excellent bunch of shots! Nice work Mark. 

Enjoy!

Introducing Jehan Estepa

Jehan is the newest member to join the C Smart family. Jehan has provided us with a brief introduction about herself.
Please make her feel welcome!

I am an Java Developer from the Philippines who migrated to Australia in late 2011. I am currently doing Automation Testing for web and mobile applications which I totally enjoy. I look forward to developing further expertise in this discipline.   

In my spare time I write on my personal blog; love to cook (but often an experiment, really); and I am a movie and tv series fanatic. I also read books once in a while and have coffee with friends to catch up.

Melbourne Christmas Function - ALUMBRA

Melbourne Christmas Function was held on 19 Jan 2013 (Saturday) at Alumbra. Many thanks to people who turned up for the function and very glad to see everyone were enjoyed themselves.

Jess has again formally announced his retirement on July this year at the function, and it was such a great speech from Paul for his kind words on Jess's contribution and achievement to the C Smart company over the past 10 years. Although he is leaving us soon, I am sure we will still see him around sometime at the next C Smart events. 

Jess and Evelyn has planned to live in UK for 6 months, 6 months caravanning through Australia and followed by the planned trip back to Tanzania. Their involvement in Tanzania, especially the kinder-garden has brought them a new focus to their lives and a greater understanding of others needs. Certainly, wish them all the very best for their future. 

Here is a short clip that captured during the function. Thank you.

Sydney Directors Award 2012

The Sydney Directors Award was held at Tokonoma Lounge on Sept. 13, 2012, while a similar event was being held in Melbourne. As we lounged sipping wines and nibbling on Japanese canapes, Matt Holani awarded the prizes to Steve Lukic, Matt Lynagh and Kenny Li. In Melbourne, the award went to Peter Salpigtidis. Special mentions were given to Keith Lewis, Tommy Tang, Amir Rafique, Doreen Cheng and Jeff Burns. Congratulation all and well done. Here is a short clip created by Tommy Tang of the Sydney event.

Introducing Jackson Lin

Jackson joins us as an Associate Developer as part of our Graduate Talent Management programme.  Jackson recently completed a Bachelor of Computing Science and Technology at the University of Sydney. 

Jackson spends his spare time playing piano, the odd basketball and participating in competitive gaming events (And even winning something occasionally! Such as Magic the Gathering FNM Drawn 1st place @ Good Games Sydney, Winner of Razor Lycosa Keyboard - Starcraft II Launch event @ City Hunter). Jackson is looking forward to being part of the C Smart family.

Dinner at Red Spice Road

It was a good gathering dinner for Melbourne C Smartees at Red Spice Road Restaurant tonight. The banquet dishes were absolutely delicious especially the Chilli Caramel Pork Belly, Beef Cheek Massaman Curry and Pandan cream and Coconut Jelly.

Paul was giving some updates about the people movement within the company. Welcome 'ex-Card Smarter' Wendy Loo for joining back with us again. Congratulations to Peter Salpigtidis as he has become one of the C Smart family member. Meanwhile, Paul also mentioned that Wendy Keith has accepted the permanent job offer with National Bank Australia. She has done an excellent jobs for our clients. Thanks for all her hard work and efforts that she had contributed for the company. Certainly, she will be missed.

As you can see, everyone is having a great time. Again, thanks Cassandra for organizing the dinner.

Wendy Gets a Shave

Last March, our dear Wendy sacrificed her silver locks to participate in the Worlds Greatest Shave. In the process, she raised approximately $4000 for the Leukaemia Foundation. She would like to thank everyone for their contribution. Good on you Wendy!
