One on One with my manager at Gurney Plaza

Every year, we will have two 1:1 sessions with our manager, one to review your performance over the last one year and another one to discuss on any project(s) that you would like to involve for the next one year. We usually will have that 1:1 session at office but this year, I have a special one at Gurney Plaza.

Why I have the chance to do my 1:1 at Gurney?
- That day we have an appreciation lunch at Evergreen Hotel and...it's near Gurney
- Since I stay at town area, I decided to work from home the second half of the day...so I'm not going to travel back to office which is situated at Bayan Lepas
- My manager stay at town area also so she was worked from home that day...and her house near Gurney Plaza
That's make the decision to have the session at Gurney Plaza....

Initially, I felt that it would be something weird to have the discussion at a shopping complex. Usually you won't feel like using your brain when you are in a shopping complex right? But the session ended up so smooth and suprisingly, I like it. (Note: I never like this session because it's always in a very stress situation)

So, it's not a bad idea to do your 1:1 session at places that are out from office. And you will like it.
