Annual Dinner & Dance 2008

Time flies, it’s another year of Annual Dinner & Dance. It seemed like yesterday when we remembered last year’s programs.

This year’s committee has done a great job indeed though that wasn’t what they planned for. It was held at the Hilton Singapore; the theme for the night was Olympics. It was an easy dress-code but not all are dressed for it… that was pretty usual for my colleagues not dressing to the theme…














The event started off with our GM’s speech and the presentation of Long Service Award and followed by dinner. Mmmh…. the food was pretty nice I thought. We have lobster salad for starter, shark’s fin soup and my favorite would be the roast chicken.






The first program was the KTV competition. There were total 6 groups of contestants; 5 other groups were our subsidiaries and 1 group from our branch. They were quite a performer actually and Metal One put up a great one by singing and acting. It was really funny but extremely entertaining. Our branch representatives were Philip, Susan, Jessica & Sugano-san and they sang Beautiful Girl. It was very entertaining and cute.

During my own toilet break, I noticed that the other performers are dressing up and preparing themselves outside the ballroom. They were all getting ready and some were warming up too. Taking the chance, we took some pictures and had a chat with them. Some of them were nervous and some were comfortable. It was quite a rare scene… hehehe










It was the program of the night; the performance by all the new Japanese & local staff. First performance was Mui Thai performed by Alan & Thanapat. They looked really cool and manly….


There was a cute cat dance by Okamoto-san, Oi-san, Katsuki-san and Taguchi-san. It was really CUTE… they were dressed up with cat hair bands and a cute little tail at the back… so adorable!!



The performance that blown everyone away was the dance by Ishii-san, Sugano-san, Bob & Ismail; they had a series of different outfit and the dance steps were really kiddy but extremely cute. I personally loved it. They attracted the most audience, claps and cheers! We ran to the front to watch and for a moment, we were like their fans cheering them on and clapping along.





The last performance by Nakayama-san of Agrex & Kanmatsuse-san was hilarious! They acted like as if they were performing a rock concert and it really felt like it though. It was fun and full of energy!

Our GM who loves to sing and dance performed 2 mandarin songs with his partner. Some of us sat there to enjoy the first song but when he sang the second song, most of us were already outside having a great time on our own by taking pictures.

The night ended after the lucky draws and the lucky winner Alan won the first prize which was a 50 inches Hitachi plasma TV. Congrats man…
