A Night of Sarongs & Tongas
Everything about annual dinners were extremely fresh within me. What once seemed to be the talks of my parents and relatives, tend to have passed down to me. Being a complete newbie in this field, I tried to pick up hints from colleagues and also, through my observations.
It turned out that Annual Dinner is the 'grandest' event held once each year for every employee, sort of like Prom for students (notice the Caps :p). The girls actually took time off to make their hair, and present their very best to the males hah! Weellll, kudos to them, job well done. We were let off early (about an hour before work ends) to get prepared and to avoid the predictable traffic jams.
The setting at Sunway Lagoon Resort Ballroom was fantastic. They well deserve the 5-star rating. Didn't give me much of a surprise since I had my graduation there not too long ago. What drew my attention were the lucky draws (which sadly I didn't have the luck to own any of the 65 prizes for 1000+ employees #*$^!!) and the laughter brought upon me by Lennard Tan, the singer+entertainer whom cracked jokes and impersonated voices from P.Ramlee to Samy Velu.
The food wasn't anything worth mentioning about, probably due to the food tasters' selection or my tongue's likings. Okay, it just plain sucked for most of the dishes. The free flow of beer was not able to accomodate the alcohol-hungry patrons as well. All in all, it was a great experience which marks the beginning of my career journey *gasps*
Camera battery ran out so I only managed to take a couple of pics....my bad :(
