Annual Staff High Tea 2011
It is the annual staff high tea for our organisation. It is held at Fairmont Hotel this year and there were as many as 70 tables. It was really nice to see everyone all dressed up lol. We were supposed to come dressed in red, blue, yellow and white and lots of glitters! Nah, I didn't follow the theme and came only in a blue strapless dress lol. Our table 46 was very near to the stage, good that we could watch the performances close up but downside, the speakers were blasting away. :( The food and the performances were a little disappointing this year. But at least the company was great. Oh and the lucky draw too haha. As always, I won a lucky draw prize!! :) My friends think I am a pretty lucky person. :) Statistically, it is one lucky draw prize per table as we only have 70 lucky draw prizes. However, at our table alone, we had 3 lucky draw winners lol. We deprived two other tables of a prize. :P

"Lucky" and Lucky
Updated 2 March 9:46pm with more photos from colleagues. :)
Our institute is having its annual lunch (with a "Going to School" theme) today from 11am to 3:30pm at Orchard Hotel. I was there on the spot at 11am because I stay really close by lol. I qualified for the early bird door gift haha. :) There were 3 pre-lunch fun activities - glamour shot, fun button and tattooing. I was only interested in the photo shoot and fun button. I managed to get both done without the hassle of queueing up since I was early haha. :)
By 12noon, most of my table-mates have arrived and we were seated at Table 10, which is my lucky number lol. For once, all 10 of us were able to make it, again my lucky number lol. The director gave his speech, followed by the presentation of long service awards and buffet lunch! :) After lunch, there were some activities. I was "lucky" and got sabotaged by my table-mates to be the "class rep" for the first fun activity. I, like 72 other "class reps", had to stand on my chair and provided much laughter to my table-mates as I had to do things like put coins into my ears, tie a napkin round my forehead, wear 3 men's belts, etc. I have to admit, it was quite a funny experience haha. However, we didn't win this activity as we didn't have some of the items required by the emcee lol. There were also performances and one of the performances was actually a repeat of the performance at 2007 staff dinner. Those who were at the 2007 dinner immediately remembered it and started gesturing to me. Why? Because I was "invited" on stage for the same performance back in 2007 lol. Yes, I tend to be very "lucky" like that lol. :P
After the performances, came the highlight of the lunch - the lucky draw!! Hahaha. It was the draw for the top 10 prizes, starting with the 10th prize first. Most of us stayed till the end of the lunch for this moment lol. As it got closer to the top 3 prizes, I was thinking to myself it was okay not to have won anything as I really enjoyed myself this year with the great company. When all of sudden, I heard my name being announced! WHAT?! I had won the 3rd prize, a Sony 40" LCD TV!!! Goodness me!! :) :) :) My colleagues were happy for me too and clapped really hard, especially those from my Table 10 as I went on stage to collect my prize from the director. Told you, 10 is my lucky number haha. :)

3 beauties queueing for food haha :P
Still eating my dessert even though being sabo-ed and standing on the chair for the activity haha
Ok, what else you want me to do? Bring it on! Haha
Listening attentively, one of us might be the next lucky draw winner! OH, that's me!! haha :P
Photos with friends and colleagues :)
Final group photos before "school" is dismissed
More photos with friends and colleagues before we parted ways :)
I had lots of fun at the staff lunch because of the great company. It was an excellent time to catch up with one another, out of the office environment where everyone could let down their hair and just have fun. :) Ok ok, I also enjoyed the lunch because I won a prize!! Hahaha. :P

Staff Party 2008
Yesterday on 1 March, we had our Staff Party 2008 at Swissotel the Stamford, 11:30am to 3:30pm. For this year, our staff party's theme is Beach Party. This is the 4th staff party I have attended since joining the research centre in 2004 and I think it is the "unglamourous" ever, lol. There were people who really turned up in t-shirts, bermudas and slippers! Hahaha. :P
I arrived right on the dot at 11:30am and managed to get an early bird gift. :) There were some pre-party activities such as photo-taking, "tattoo"-ing, and making of keychains and handphone charms from 11:30 am to 12:30pm. I managed to get a few photos taken with my friends. :)
We were seated in the ballroom by 12:30pm. We were at Table 36: Bai Rui, Xiao Fang, You Yan and partner, Libo, Khin, Kin Meng, Yee Zher and me. While waiting for the director of the institute to arrive, we took the opportunity to take more photos with each other, lol. There was the usual opening speech by the director and followed by buffet lunch at 1pm. The food was pretty average. I think I enjoyed the cold dishes and salads best.
This year's host and entertainment paled compared to last year's. There was a lot of talking from the host but not much entertainment. Only two games were played: one, we had to guess what were the old tv theme songs that we heard and two, we played scissors, paper, stone. Lol. We had to play scissors, paper, stone with the people at our own table until only one winner remained from each table (total of 45 tables). The winner from each table then had to stand on a chair to be the representative of the table to play scissors, paper, stone against winners of other tables. I was the winner of our table so I had to stand on the chair, lol. My friends were laughing and cheering for me, lol. They were reminded of last year's party where I was called onto stage, lol. This was just as bad as because I was standing on a chair for all to see. Thank goodness, I lost in one of the rounds as the last remaining 12 winners had to go onto stage. PHEW! :P
There was the usual lucky draw but unfortunately, only 1 or 2 persons from our research centre managed to get lucky. :( The party ended at 3:40pm. Although none of us had won a prize, we were happy too as we seldom have time like this at work to chat leisurely and to have such a good time among friends. :)
