All Cheng & Co staffs are invited by Dr Paul Cheng to have Christmas buffet lunch at Royal Selangor Club today. So, Cheng & Co is closed from 12.00pm to 2.30pm for such reason. We departed 12.00pm sharp from the office and reached the mentioned place at around 12.20pm.
The Club is opened for its members only and according to Dr Paul, he is the member for the club since 1983. We have a full and satisfied buffet lunch there. Yeahh.... I'm kinda easily satisfied as long as I don't have to pay any. hehehe.....
After the lunch, Dr Paul showed us around the club. The arrangement is sort of a tour guide, Dr Paul bringing a group of tourist to visit the place. He talked of history of the place and showed us the facilities there. We just followed him to walk around.
The funniest part during our tour was by the time we visited to the gym room. There was a member working out there. When he saw 40+ of us wearing formal dress code to step into the gym room, he shocked and stoned there for 15 minutes until we left the place. We really feel sorry to disturb him but still we can't hold our laugh seeing his blurred face.
Actually I have lots of sweet memory in this place when I was a child. My dad was working there as a bar captain for 20 over years. Every year the club would held a Children Christmas Party.
That's the only place and time, where and when I can have close interaction with Santa Clause too. I still remember that the Santa Clause would distribute some chocolates, sweets and candy to us. We also would have buffet lunch there..... but I hardly remember what's the food was. then the Santa Clause would sing along with all the kids. I think there is more than hundreds of children gathered there. I learned all the Christmas song there... Jingle Bells, Jingle Bell Rock, I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Clause, Here Come Santa Clause, We Wish You a Merry Christmas, Joy to The World etc.
After the singing session, there would be some stage performance and magic show as well. Last but not least, all the children would be given a present. The present is surely a toy. Kids always love toys and I myself really love toys very much.
Ahhh... What a sweet memory!!! I really miss it very very much. I wish to join Christmas party now but I am invited by nobody this year. *sob sob* Christmas presents, Yeahh, I got it, from facebook... Haha!! Better than nothing maa...
