Company's Annual Dinner

The last time i attended my Company's Annual Dinner was way back in 2002! 4 years of absence from any official office function where i needed to dress up.

Spent only RM200 on shoes, RM11 on mask. Thank goodness i ran out of time to go for a make up session. wore back my purple dress, which thank goodness has not gone out of fashion yet and my colleague was helpful enough to help me with my make up.

How did the night went? I was one of the 2 MCs so didn't get to eat much. only a mouthful of food here and there. didn't drink much, don't want to end up tripping on the stage (oh yeah, i did trip on the stage), end up saying the wrong things (oops, again, said something stupid which i kinda regret after that), being very anti-social (looking at my friends' camera, out of the 200+ photos, i only managed to appear in 4 of em).

The event was a bit messy. lack of coordination and planning. i supposed in some ways, if the organising team had spend more time planning the event rather than wasting 3/4 of the pre annual dinner meeting talking about what games to play, things would have been better. oh well, what's done is done.

Didn't win any prizes, there were plenty. estimated 230 pax. numbers of prizes: 46+15+10+20+22+3 = 116. That's like 1 in 2 ppl will have a chance to win something. oh, of course, there are also some games where the whole table can win a few prizes and some special prizes, ie. best dress.

The dinner ended late for me to take the lrt home. A colleague was kind enough to drop me home eventhough he stayed at almost the other end of town.

i think next year, i'm just going to sit back and relaxed and try my chance of winning something nice. don't mind either a trip to macau/hong kong or to gold coast.

I'm the one hiding behind the mask with my only one glass of beer!
