Annual dinner

Speaking of annual dinner. We were very excited about it since we got to know about it. As time approaches, even more ken cheong. People have been whispering about their table themes and have been working on finding the right costume. Got people rent and got people bought. Got people experiment on their face paint/make up, accessories put up and stuff. Everybody was in the mood. Various strategies.

7.30am

All of us were gathered to take the bus up to Genting. Some decided to drive. Knowing my driving skill was ..... hehe, take bus will ensure I arrive at Genting rather than stranded in nowhere. People were busy snapping photos.

8.05am
Bus finally departed. Coach leader busied distributing tag, voucher and giving instruction.

The journey.

Our bus was the first to depart (yay yay) but somewhere in the mid hill we were overtook by another bus! Guessed must be we have too many girls with heavy luggage and caused the bus to be comparatively heavier. Bus struggled to go uphill and we finally made it (bravo to bus driver!).

10.15am

We arrived at the concierge of First World Hotel (where else?) deposited our bags and proceeded to the Dash for gold. I joined with Tapir. Piggy withdrew due to personal reason.

10.40am

We finally sorted out the task and divided among ourselves. We were out to conquer the tasks ... (muhahahaha). I did the photo taking with Oscar and Ripley's alien and.. (don't laugh) the super slow Reindeer rides...



Maybe is the age factor....I find myself very easily tired and almost cannot run anymore further. My legs soon start to wobble like old lady. We managed to finish the task but sadly, we did not win (hoooo.... hoooo). But we had a lot of fun.


12.45pm

We had lunch. After that was free and easy. Some went back for the rides in the theme park. Knowing that I don't ride most of the rides, I went walk walk around the place with Mei Yuen and Wai Ling. Then, we made it back to the hotel reception to be checked in. By that time, my eyes were closing, and my legs were numb.

3.15pm

Ah...... finally, we were in our room. Dumped the bags and crawled on bed.... ZZZzzzz. Well, we can't be sleeping for long though. We have the evening to prepare.

5.00pm

I was at Wai Ling and Mei Yuen's room. I had big task, ok . Have to make up for Wai Ling. She was a Vampire. Hahaha.... we had no face paint and some more she don't want to wear a fang, so no choice, it had to be the make up. I think I did a great job... hehehe.

Then I made up myself as an evil prietess. Hehehe..... Mei Yuen said I looked very evil. Hahahaha. Means I am successful.



6.45pm

We were down at the hall. Getting ourself to the hall is a big task. We were weirdly dress, everybody was staring at us when we walked. Sigh, very pai seh. If can, I wish to cover my face. But then when we reached the hall and saw some many other people that had dress up for the event, we were no longer pai seh, but proud with it. Many people want to take photos with us. Hehe....

People appeared in various style. We had Elvis, 2 Phantom of the opera, a lot of angels, fairies, Flintstones, Mr Bean, medieval queens, Egyptian queens, Shih Huang Ti and his 9 wives, pirates, a table of mimers (the won the best theme for table..... Congrats)... and many others. It was fun.

8.00pm

Finally, we were allowed to go into the hall. Our table was at the front second row. Good view. Event started. Dances and singing. We had the famous Phat Fabes as emcee for the night. Played some games on stage. One of the game is to guess song. Played a snipet and you have to run up stage to tell the name of the song. This is my game...naturally. I ran up for the 2nd song. Phat Fabes probe a lot of questions and made me dance!

PF: What is your name?

Me: Song Chiang

PF: Sorry, what? Song Chian?

Me: Song Chiang

PF So, your friend called you Chiang?
Me: Yup.

PF: So, are you coming here tonight with a partner?

Me: No.

PF: With husband?

Me: No

PF: With boyfriend?

Me: No.

PF: So, Chiang are you a good dancer?

Me: No.

PF: How you know you are not a good dancer? (At the moment I am thinking how to answer this.. ) I think everybody would like to see you dance (crowd cheered)

Me: Can we keep it to dance floor later?

PF: Why not you show us now? Let's us see you can dance or not? ( I am speechless...)

Me: But I can't dance alone... ?

PF: Of course, what do you think I am here for... I can do the pole dance if you want (he is standing stiff ... while saying that).

So, end up I have to dance a bit before I got the RM 10 voucher.... cis!

We were anticipating for our number to be called for lucky draw... but sigh, all the prizes went to other people. Ai..... but we had an enjoyable evening. We had Pussy cat boys dancing for us ... hehehe.. a bunch of guys wearing very sexily dancing to Pussy cat dolls "Don't ya... " (whatever the name of the song is)... crowd cheered madly.


We had our own Michael Jackson impersonator up to dance. I must say he did a very very good job at the dance, no doubt. But I still hate his gut when it comes to my IT issues.

12.00pm

Event finally ends. By this time I am already tired. Though I wished to stay put in the hall for beer and dances but then with some wanted to go back into their rooms .. I just followed. Lucky i followed, cause if I did not I guessed I might be getting sick due to exhaustion later.

2008

First blog of the year 2008. Nope, I am not blogging on New Year resolutions. Did not make any because I find that I don't remember what I made usually and thus, never get it done. Better be spontaneous. But if you ask me what I hope to do, get or achieve, it will be like below :

1. Die die must finish my 4 remaining LOMA papers this year.
2. I hope to save up enough money for my house renovation which is coming maybe soon.
3. Hope to meet a guy and change my status from single to not available (this one almost appear in my every year resolutions, it becomes stating for the sake of stating rather than for it to happen)
4. Hope the coming annual dinner I don't get to dance again on stage (guess what, Phat Fabes made me dance on the stage for the sake of RM 10 Isetan voucher... for details refer next blog)
5. Hope to be promoted.... (allelujah)
6. Hope that things at work are smooth and done nicely (pray pray hard)
7. I will be healthier this year.

And the list goes on.....

A lot to be done this year but what I look forward to is my house and also my trip to Sweden and UK. It will put a very big hole in my savings but then I hope everything will turn up well....it is all about timing.

Hehe.....
