珠光宝气之夜 1

January 9, 2009 marked a historical night for Cheng & Co. It was our Company's annual dinner night. But the said day was also our working day. We are forced to work until 4.30pm and after that immediately headed towards Prince Hotel, 5 stars hotel located opposite Pavillion.

The theme for the night was 'Firm of Future'. I was expecting some hi-tech designed of dress code but surprisingly, nobody cares about the theme of the night. Everyone looked elegance in dressing and everyone is way on 珠光宝气..... except me who is wearing as casual as usual!!

Before the dinner, a simple MOU signing ceremony is held here to witness the collaboration of Poor Ooi & Co. with Cheng & Co. The signing ceremony was held during the cocktail session. I didn't really watch through the ceremony there as I'm busy collecting my door gift and lucky number for lucky draw session.

The dinner was started at 7.30pm sharp. Mr Chua kicks start the night with his welcoming speech as usual, followed by speech by Mr Poor from Poor Ooi and Co. After the super boring speech giving session, the dinner started and the performance is on.

First performance was 二十四节铃鼓 presented by Choong Wen Primary School. The kids are cute but they seems a bit shy to face the public. They just kept staring on the floor or staring at their gang, that's it!! Guess they are forced to do such performance.

Secondly was belly dance performance by a girl from Choong Wen also. Upon the starting of the dance, some technical problem occurred and the music can't be played. The poor girl stoned there and hold with a belly dancer pose for more than 10 minutes. Luckily there was a lady, I think is her coach, instructed the little girl to go off the stage at the meantime of waiting. Who knows, all of a sudden the music resumed, the poor little girl heard the music, ran and jumped up to the stage, started the dance immediately..... So worry that the girl acted too 'gan jeong' upon listening the music, shoot up to the stage and fall down. Luckily no unhappy thing was happened and the little girl did a great performance.

The last performance from Choong Wen Primary School was Peacock Dance. I didn't really watched this performance as I was too busy to wallop my food... Too hungry maa!!

After that, the staffs from Poor Ooi & Co. presented a dancing show. They presented 3 dances. The 1st dance was a Malay style dance with Hip-hop solo. 2ndly was Chinese dance with handkerchief as the dancing tools, sort of that laa... together with a CNY song, damn funny and the 3rd dance of coz was Indian dance laa. More than 30 staffs were involved in the performance. I noticed something during their performance..... Guess what, only 1 Indian guy enjoyed doing the performance. The rest of them should be forced to do it, I guess. Coz he is the only one who smiles cheerfully during the performance. The rest of them were showing a black and bitter face.... like the audience killed their family like that... so terrible!!

Cheng & Co. presented 2 performance. 1stly was a piano session by Mr Chua's daughter and she is only Standard 2. But at least better lo..... different type of performance. Last time she always sings the same song only ... until I also can remember the lyrics liao.. "you are my sunshine, my only sunshine, you make me happy......" This time, piano performance!!Gorgeous!!

2nd performance from our Company was choir. I think I don't wanna comment much on this performance as its presented by my beloved colleagues. Generally, they did a good show, I think!!! I somehow feel that I'm so lucky. Luckily I'm too old to particapate as one of the perfomer in annual dinner or else sure spoil the whole mood and environment of the day...... Hehehe>>>>>> Just let the youngster to show their bestto the world!!! I'm happy with that!!
