After days of sleepless nights to do Angie's Wedding Guest book, which was not used on that day, it is finally her wedding day. It doesn't matter if she did not use it. I find it a little inappropriate to use it but maybe it can serve as a gift to her lor. Anyway, I felt strange as I look forward to her wedding lunch. No, it is not that I have a thing for her. Her wedding lunch seems more like a company D&D or even a reunion lunch for me.
I believe that there are almost 70% of her guest list from AUO and former AFPD collegues. I was seated with a bunch of current and former FA members. Man, i missed this feeling! We had such a great fun joking around, eating great food. Oh yes, the food was pretty nice but service has lots of room for improvement. Back to the topic, as our table was the 'reserved' table, meaning that we were not even on the expected list of tables, according to the restaurant. We were placed right at the end of the restaurant, near to the newly weds' changing room.
It's kinda of a VIP room without VIP treatment. But heck care, we had the whole room to ourselves! Isn't it cool?! While everyone was seated like the usual wedding dinner, we are chatting, walking around, taking photos as if we are just there for a private lunch! Its great! It felt like we are back to the good old times when CELL FA was still a close-knitted family. The FA now is just a bunch of collegues. Yes, some of us are still close to each other, but on whole, it had changed.
I really miss the times we had last time. I am sure I am not the only one. We 'cleaned' up the whole plate of food everytime they served. Imagine that! Who cares if the black-faced auntie offered us desserts from other table, we just took and eat! hahahaha! Awww... when will i see them all together as one, again?!

Black & White Masquerade Dinner
After two years of haitus, Company's Dinner & Dance (D&D) took place over the past weekend. This year's theme was Black & White Masqurede. Interesting? Surprisingly yes, but not really 'cos of the theme.
This year's edition was held over two days, instead of one. This is due to the company's operation pattern, two days of dinner may cater the needs of more employees. Unfortunately, the turn out rate is not high.
I went to Day 2 (9th Dec). Heard from Angie that the crowd on Day 1 (8th Dec) were not as sporting or fun loving as Day 2. Moreover, our host were way better than the one on Day 1!!! From photos of Day 1 (courtesy of Zin), i identified that the host is the lousy guy who host our D&D in 2oo8. The list of programmes are typically same as 2oo8, the same boring games.
Thankfully, our programmes are entertaining and the contestants for 'AUST got Talent' were better too. I am not pinning high hopes after seeing the photos that night. Hence i was surprised by the programmes and showmanship of the host, Wayne (if i remember correctly).
For the 2nd time running, i went up the stage as one of the best dressed. In case you are wondering, depending on how you see it, 'Best Dressed' can be a form of sabotage. Haha. And for the 2nd time, i was the runner-up for the events. Yuslie definitely gathered more cheers! Despite that i was having fun, i needed to act and dance abit with my female partner. Yes, she looked gorgeous too =)
Four of the eight seated at our table won prizes, big or small. Rick won a camera along the way! Cool huh?! Wanjun (other table) won a DSLR! I was praying to win a xbox360 Kinect! But nope, i didn't win in the draw!
The only turn off for the night is the service from Downtown East (i will check who is the actual company in charge) for the dinner. Minutes after every dish, they asked if had finished and wanted to clear away! Hey, the tables had enough space to put more than a dish! We did not even had time to slowly eat! Poor service. The manager even wore T-shirt while helping out his waiters and waitress.... Hello?! He should wore something more formal. Who cares if its their uniform? They should at least show some to respect the customer. We are having D&D and we are not even having beach/casual wear theme! Disappointed!
Congrats to SRC committee for their efforts in hosting such a great event! Looking forward to the next one! (rumored to be this year's october)
