MC Chill Out 2013

I thought 2011 was the last chill out organized but our ever generous and sporting GM requested another chill out session this year. The organising committee were excited about the event as this was specially requested by our GM.

After three months of preparation, the party is TODAY! I was way too excited or worried for today’s event that I could hardly sleep last night. When we arrived at Zouk earlier to check on the arrangements, I was more or less relieved that everything was in good order.

The guest arrived pretty promptly and our party officially began on time. Our host for tonight was our trusted colleague Patrick Ong who was very professional and simply made everyone in the house excited from the beginning.

After the short speech from GM, dinner was served. I was very delighted to see everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves with a drink in hand and moving around greeting other colleagues whom they hardly see.

We began our first game – drinking competition with a twist. Patrick requested for volunteers and we were surprised that many came forward to participate. He paired the men and ladies into five pairs and they had to finish all the drinks which were placed on the trays. The ladies to finish up 10 tequila shots which carried 2 points each while the gentlemen 10 mugs of beers which carried 5 points each.

This is one fantastic game especially during such occasion. Many came forward to cheer their favourite ‘couple’ and others were taking pictures of the moments. I had to say that the ladies were pretty good drinkers as they were the ones who finished up the 10 shorts while the gentlemen were still struggling with their beers. Some ladies actually helped the men to drink their beers after they were done with their shots. Our final winner pairs were Daniel & Katryne who finished most of the drinks on their tray.

We started our first dancing session and we were happy to see our GM started dancing on the dance floor and many followed quickly. The dance floor was filled up shortly and everyone was dancing their head off… it was really fun and happy to see so many colleagues enjoying themselves on the dance floor which was pretty rare.  

The dancing lasted about 50 minutes and we began our next game which was guessing the number. Many volunteered when MC requested. MC prepared 3 sets of numbers and each participants got their chance to guess and when they got the number correctly, they had to do a forfeit… one of them had to eat a piece of sushi that was loaded with WASABI, the other drunk ‘Submarine’ (warm B52 with iced cold beer) and one of the participant got away lucky.

We threw in five lucky draw prizes for the night and everyone continued to party even after our event ended. Many of us stayed on to party at Zouk while the rest left for home and others stayed at Phuture for drinks.

This is one great party with colleagues and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves very much. I had too much alcohol in my body but I was happy that I danced quite a bit tonight to prevent myself getting drunk…

Thank you committee for helping to put such a fantastic and successful event!!
