Dinner & Dance 2009

Time flies… it’s another year of D&D! This year, I was part of the committee and our theme was MCTV. Please do not ask me what that meant! Being a committee member, I wasn’t sure what to wear for this theme.

Anyway, the long and tedious preparation is finally over as we presented it to everyone tonight. I arrived about five plus in the afternoon and saw everyone was getting ready for the night; some were preparing the sound systems and some were testing out the lights. Jessie & me checked on the gifts and prepare them on the table given.

When guest arrived at around 6pm, cocktail events started and all were enjoying themselves by having their hair sprayed in different colors. As usual, dinner was served right after GM’s speech and long service awards presentations.









To be honest, I was kind of bored by the program but I thoroughly enjoyed the performance by Mr. Matsuda & my fellow colleagues. Mr. Matsuda sang and colleagues were his dancers. Their dance steps were simple but really cute; it was totally fun to watch. Mr. Matsuda was really a sweetie… he prepared a song especially for Mummy Florence as this will be her last D&D as a staff of MC. He sang really well and I was pretty impressed.




I would say the worst performance was by our GM! Okay, no offence but it was really out of this universe! They were supposed to do a Hip Hop dance routine but it turned out to be a normal dance with no Hip Hop movements and I was totally disgusted by the sight when he actually put in some salsa moves!!!! OMG!!!! Though it was a two minutes dance but it was really painful to watch!






We called it a night right after the grand lucky draw and it was an enjoyable night with friends & colleagues. I would say that our committee done a great job especially with some ridiculous request from managements…

Our most bestest, warmest & bestest congratulations to the proud parents (Amos & Maggie) of Shevaun Leong! Princess Shevaun, may the Lord bless you with loads of happiness, good health and love always....

Farewell & Welcome Dinner

It was about three months ago when mummy Florence announced to us that she will be retiring at the end of this year. If that wasn’t enough to kill us, Susan tendered her resignation at the end of November!! It was indeed a double blow to all of us.

Our boss, Mr. Suganou kindly arranged a farewell dinner for both of them and at the same time, welcomes Katryne who joined us on first of December replacing mummy Florence. He arranged dinner at Ichiban-tei located at Robertson Quay and he mentioned that he knows the boss very well. He even kindly ordered the dishes before hand.

When we arrived, we were led to a cozy private room that could accommodate 10 of us. Our dinner began with the delicious octopus starter with sesame sauce. It was impressive. A huge platter of sushi was served shortly and followed by the pretty looking potato salads. I was really happy to have potato salads as I wasn’t able to have raw sushi… sighz….




The deep fried crispy fish was something interesting and yummy! Linda was overjoyed when the deep fried pork cutlet arrived on the dinning table. I had to say that the pork cutlet was a winner! Though it was deep fried but it wasn’t oily. The meat was tender and there were onions in between the tender juicy meat. D-E-L-I-C-I-O-U-S!!!!




Yes, food and more glorious food arrived on our dinning table, deep fried dumpling, fish cakes with wasabi and grilled fish. I wasn’t a great fan of fish therefore I skipped that… when we thought that the food were almost done serving, there came a large platter of vegetables with seafood… we were told it’s for steamboat!!!! OMG!!! There weren’t anymore space for steamboat after drowning myself with those dumplings, pork cutlets and potato salads!









Boss knew that we were almost stomach filled; he took the opportunity to present his appreciation (gifts) to both Florence & Susan. That was quite a smart move from him I would say but that did not give me much time to digest the food!






Anyway, when the soup is ready, we poured in the whole platter and waited… though we were really stuffed but somehow we enjoyed the steamboat pretty much as the soup was GREAT! Finally we ended our dinner with desserts and a group picture.








Thank you Suganou-san for making this dinner happened and we will miss you mummy Florence & Susan! Welcome Katryne!
