Dinner at Berjaya Palace Hotel

What dinner was more important until I had to miss CTY’s birthday dinner?

Actually if it was not for the fact that the person who invited me for the function was the Organising Chairman, I would not have to think twice and declined his invitation outright.

My ING Insurance Agent DL invited Sophia Tsen and I to be part of his company’s annual dinner and presentation night.

I parked the car near ‘Chiu Thai Seng’ Supermarket and went in Sophia’s car. I was glad she suggested we did that because if I were to drive up to the hotel and find a parking bay, I think I would change my mind altogether and leave that place without a second thought. Not only was the vicinity within the carpark was so steep, there were hardly any more parking bays available. The security guards were not helpful in assisting the guests to the hotel in finding a parking bay.

The function was held at the top floor of the hotel.

We met DL at the entrance and after tearing the perforated part of our ticket for lucky draw, he ushered us into the ballroom. All his guests were seated at the last row from the stage. Almost everyone was wearing cowboy/girl gear as the theme for the night was Cowboy Night.

In between an eight course Chinese dinner, we were entertained by different people, which included dancing, singing, video clips, etc. Recipients of awards also gave their speeches.

DL organised the function superbly. It would be a hard act to follow for the organising person next year.

Before the night ended, it was time for lucky draw. Sophia won a prize (as she wondering whether she would) and there was another winner from our table as well. And the person who picked out the lucky draw was DL.

This was a fridge magnet given to each person to commemorate the event.
