Department CNY Reunion Dinner

Last year, we had our department reunion dinner at OCBC Center and this year, we arranged it at Si Chuan Dou Hua located at 61st Floor of UOB Building.

When we arrived, we were led to our table by the window where the view from the top was simply breathtaking! This is my second visit to this restaurant and I thought the food was pretty good and giving the beautiful view, it was worth visiting again.





Our starter Yu Sheng was served shortly and the waitress was preparing it for us and spoke some very auspicious phrases which were common. Immediately after she left our table, we stood up and started tossing! It was great and really fun!





The shark’s fin soup with crab roe was simply delicious and I wished I could have a second serving… hehehheeheh…. Then our Sichuan style prawns were served… it was delicious too… LOVE IT!


Well, I didn’t enjoy the steam fish in Teocheow style as I am no fan of FISH! Moreover, I am pregnant and the smell of steam fish made me sick! Roasted chicken, and e-fu noodles tasted normal… wasn’t very POWER la…




After they served our roasted chicken and noodles, we noticed that one dish was missing… that was one of the expensive Abalone with mushroom & black moss. We then informed that one of our dishes was missing and finally they served after waiting for awhile.








Their dessert was their house special Dou Hua (Bean curd). I didn’t really enjoy it as it was kind of weird with some wild flowers in it… overall, it was not too bad but I guess I would preferred to order a-la-carte the next time I visit….

Starhub TVB Awards

I was really honored to be invited to this event by my boss who was invited by one of the staff from Starhub! I was really thrilled to receive an email invitation from my boss Suganou-san asking if anyone of us (our Dept) would like to attend this event with him. I RSVP to him immediately without checking my own schedule!

This morning, I was really excited and was counting down the moment I stepped into the office. After lunch, my heart couldn’t stop beating and the thought of meeting my favorite Raymond Lam was unbearable!

Coming evening, I quickly got myself ready and I had to look my best! Hahaahahah…. Like as if I am going on a date with him!!! Anyway, when we arrived at Ritz-Carlton, we were led by Mr. Ong who invited us to the reception for registration. We were given a golden tag which tied around our wrist… later did I found out that we are considered premium guest! How cool was that!





It was painful waiting for the stars to appear on the ‘Green Carpet’ and after an hour, the moment had finally arrived. The first couple to walk down the green carpet was Moses Chan & Charmaine Sheh. Steven Chen and Heidi were next etc…. and finally my heart was beating extremely fast when Raymond Lam walked down slowly on the green carpet! My goodness… I almost fainted as I got to see him so up closed!












Right after the green carpet… we were led to our dinner table in the main ballroom. Our table was pretty close to the stage and I was really happy that I could see my idol from where I was seated!



During dinner, there were performances by the Hong Kong artistes and many awards were given out… sorry… I was too engrossed looking at Raymond till I forgot what awards were given out!!!















Thank you Starhub and Suganou-san!
