DST 12th Annual Dinner at JPCC

It was a night to remember. The theme for this year annual dinner is "Hollywood Night". There's the red carpet treatment, cameras and all the works. But one thing that really dampen the mood was the heavy rain. It was pouring outside. All the guests are drenched. I didn't care what happen to my dress as long as the rain stay away from my face. JPCC was great. I forgot to take a picture of the hall. The decorations were done wonderfully. The food? erm.....needs improvement. It was cold (dunno how long was it on the table, it was there when we arrived) and the portion has a lot of room for improvement. Hehe...dun believe me....see for urself.

See what I mean? Luckily, I wasn't that hungry as I had a heavy lunch that afternoon. Typical of me, picture of food before pictures of my lovely colleagues.Hehe....

Menu for the nite:

Mushroom soup

Fish fillet

Coconut Chicken

Roast Beef

Japanese tofu with mushroom (Such a simple dish le)

Vegetables

Steam rice

Orange custard and fresh fruit for dessert

I heard from somewhere that the above menu is B$35 per head le. So expensive la. But then the price includes the rental of the hall. Maybe that's the reason for the expensive price tag.

Din manage to take a lot of photos becoz I arrived late (becoz of the stupid heavy downpour and some areas was flooded). I got to get home early as I had to continue studying for my CPA. And quite a number of people actually left before the dinner ended as they din wan to be caught up in the traffic when the dinner actually ends.

Lovely colleagues: counter clockwise starting from Dell (purple dress), Malam, Chulin, Shima, Meling, 2 DJs, Ting and me.

Ting and me

David (My manager. He is so thin...maybe I can donate flesh to him?)and me

The entertainment was great during the dinner. There was this guy, Rom, he sang the theme song from winter sonata....in Korean....hehe, he sounds great. I heard that he's in a band so I guess that explains his great voice. Then various Head of Departments, Senior Manager were invited to the stage to perform a traditional song. Hehe, highly entertaining.

Hj Din won the best dressed. He looks very smart in his tux and all and he the way he sashaying down the "runway" was so cute. He deserved to be the Best Dressed. As for the female best dressed, I had forgotten her name but I met her before while I was on the familiarization program and I remember that her face is very sweet and you would not know that she is now a mummy already.....hehe..... There were a lot of prizes available for lucky draw and I din win any.....SIGH!!!! I remember that my ticket number was 317 and the number that they called out for the grand price (42 inch flat screen le...digital one lagi...think it cost about 4k like that)

5.............................TAMADE!!!!!!! What the heck??? SIGH!!!! Guess its really not my day



With my hair piled up high


See that necklace that I was wearing? I bought it specifically for the dinner. Cost me B$60 plus le. But I love the necklace. Its made from real crystal. Perfect match with my earrings. I bought the earrings at a different place at a different time (I think it was last year...the earrings also not cheap...cost me B$ 49.90 u know) But I love both the necklace and the earrings.

I prefer me with my hair down

My eyes look bigger here....How come the pictures that I took with my colleagues look so small le? I wan bigger eyes and doe like....hehe, u know like puss in the boots in Shrek. See his eyes so big....so doe like......so cute....that makes u wanna go....awwwwwww


Anyway.....back to the annual dinner. Overall, I think that the organizing committee did a great job. Keep up the good work.

There have been so many instances where I came by my blog and I want to blog about so many things in my life. But there were also as many instances where I just gave up and kept my thoughts to myself. I am 34 years old in 2017 and soon I will be another year older. I am getting more jaded every year because of the things that I have seen. I also feel aimless. I feel as if I am meant to do something more than this. I do not want to wake up and go to work Monday to Friday and so happy when its Friday and becoming depressed when its Sunday (coz the next day would be Monday) It's not like I want to be a millionaire or something like that. Even though money is still important (Hey, I still gotta eat, cant very well grow my own food), it no longer hold the same position as compared to a few years ago. I do not care very much for status as well. Its all so fleeting. After being married in 2013, I am still childless at the moment. Its not by design but I dun mind it all that m...

Unveiling

I was so excited yesterday. Someone called and told me that it was ready for pick up. What is ready for pick up? What makes me so excited? . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . What else would make me so excited other than cars? Woo Hoo!!!!! Subaru Impreze STi !!!! How cool is that? Bi fetched me yesterday around 5pm to pick up the car. I could not sit still at home. Was feeling so excited. STi has 3 settings, Intelligence, Sport and Sport Sharp. I read an article online saying that the Intelligence mode makes the STi crawls like a snail. Hmmmm, their exact words not mine. So Bi and me took the car out for a short drive. We were kinda disappointed with the power. It was then we realised that the setting was at intelligence. OMG!!!! When we changed the settings to Sport Sharp, the power is unbelievable. Its like 3 times faster and more powerful. We hit 180 km/h in less than 2 minutes (mite be less if not for those few turtles on the road). In the past S15 will need quite some time to hit 16...

After you by Jojo Moyes

After I read Me Before You by Jojo Moyes  a few years ago, I was waiting for the sequel. What would happen to Lou after Will left? What would her life be? If I am Lou, I will constantly ask myself 'Why am I not enough?' 'Is there anything that I could have done to change his mind?' 'Was it all just me? Just in my mind?' In this sequel, Lou was a wreck! But it's understandable though, she had just lost the love of her life. She has lost someone who had shown her the different aspects of life. Showed her that the life she have had is so unbelievably small. There is so much more to live for. Showed her how she could have made a difference! I couldn't put the book down and I finished it within 1 and a half day. It was strangely compelling. You will be rooting get for Lou all the way. Although there are times that you can't help but get angry with her! 'What was she thinking??????' There was a part in the book that addresses the length of ti...
