DCDeL Xmas Party

As mentioned by wifey...I deliberately sabotaged her to skip the party and stayed at home while me went out and partied with my colleagues. It was awesome...watching middle age men and ladies strutting their stuff on the dance floor. It was held in waterview convention centre somewhere in rhodes. Kathy picked me up and went to sharon's place and took a taxi from there..
Anyway, back to the party...we were late..Hui was worried sick thinking we ditched her last minute...but as usual..janji melayu..everything start 1 hr later than scheduled. They just drank..and drank...wine..beers...champagne...free flowing alcohol...gosh..and me...lemonade and coke...
So after a short welcome speech from the nsw gm...encik mel...the dinner starts.. On the table..there's a confetti thingy called bon bon....you and ur partner gotta pullboth end and the bon bon would pop..it has a sodium carb thingy inside...inside the bon bon there's a paper coloured crown and a small plastic toy...I got gumby. They toys are meant for the kids to play while the parents do the socializing stuff.
It's a custom to serve 2 different sets of menu...alternating betw u and the person beside u..so if u dun like the menu..u can swap it with ur neighbour....semangat kejiranan betul.So for entrée..they served tomato stuffed cream wateva it is..and also a tuna with prawn cooked with some sauce..





Later they starts serving the main meal...a steak with baked potato and a chicken with risotto...and since we're in table 2...we got served earlier...woohooo...after most ppl finished their meals...the lights were dimmed and the old hags and john travolta wannabe start crawling to the dance floor...
I was waiting eagerly for the dessert to be served....
oh yess...i almost forgot bout the santa..he dropped by via the lift ( no chimney in this location maybe)...and gave out some lucky prize winner....and as usual our table didn't won anything...i never won any lucky draw..i dunno why...and surprisingly...these ladies would grab santa's crotch before sat on his lap...arghhh...wat an ugly site!! bad mental picture

the unlucky people on our table....i'm guessing nobody here would be winning the lotto anytime soon...


We've grown bored watching the ladies doing their line dancing according to tina turner's song.....and now I know i'm not into this club hopping thingy in my younger days..I can't stand loud music...felt like my heart pumping too much blood to the head I might burst..


the finale was a meringue....shot with 6400 iso...so mind the grain/noise..it was pitch dark..and freakingly loud.....so we decided to scoot off..called in a cab and away we go....very interesting to experience this...everybody let their hair down and partied...but it's not my cup of tea..there goes my 50dollar..money well spent I suppose for the experience...
