Farewell dinner

I had prolonged this blog for the past nearly a week already. I tried my best to blog bout it but I guess due to unforeseeable time given, I hardly have time to blog. In fact all the picture displayed were already out in facebook a week ago. Well let me start today's blog with talking bout my staff dinner last Saturday. Actually it was not staff dinner at all. Instead it was my president's farewell dinner. Some says it was the farewell dinner cum staff dinner, some says no. Some even do not know. But anyway, it was quite an exciting dinner that night. Managed to meet some of my colleagues that I never met before on that night. I mean my company is so big. It had over a thousand staffs and of course not all were there. In fact the total number of people coming that night was only 350++ person, so far as mentioned by the committee in-charge that day.
Anyway it was a very grand (so-called) grand dinner. I mean ex MCA president, Tun Ling Liong Sik came together with his wife and her choir group. Well my ex-president was conferred with honorary degree as being graduated as a Doctor in Education. Anyway the dinner were held in Sime Darby Convention Centre. It was my 2nd time there. First time it was held last year at the same place but of different occasion. Anyway the place was quite a fantastic place to be. I mean it is sort of grand place. Imagine this. Convention Centre of Sime Darby, where everybody attended conferences.


This is actually the ceiling roof of the corridor of the main entrance of the convention centre.


This is the staircase of the main entrance.


This is the decoration lamp for the main entrance.


This is the outside look of the building. Looks fabulous right?

This is another side of the building..

This is the look of the downstair from the inside of the main entrance. Looks grand right?

This is another angle of the centre with its elevator on another corner of the building.

This is some sort of bar counter of the centre where I guess people can come and get their drinks done while waiting for the conference to start or to take a break after the conference.

This is where the signboard where it says my company is having its farewell dinner cum conferment of honorary degree ceremony.

This is one of my favourite spot in anywhere I go, the toilet. Well this toilet may look like a normal toilet for us all, but it is always the most important place to be.
This is the corridor where the dinner was held. It was quite a grand corridor, don't you think so?

Do not be mislead with this picture by thinking that it is some sort of mushroom or even some decoration item of the conference centre but rather be surprised by it cause it is what we all known it as ceiling lamp. It is no ordinary ceiling lamp but I guess we cannot even get it from Ikea cause it is not ordinary lamp. At first I also thought that it was decoration item but at the end I realised it was a lamp.

This is the third dish that we were served. I missed the chance of taking pictures of both first and second dishes. In fact the fourth dish which was called roasted chicken with mango in Thai sauce were also missed up. This third dishes was called steamed white pomfret shanghai style. For one thing, I dislikes fish. So therefore at the end I did not eat a single bit of the fish. The first dish was called four hot and cold season combination while the second dish was called braised shark's fin soup with crab meat and dried scallop sliced.

This dish is called baked tiger prawns with chef's special Chinese BBQ sauce. Quite a nice dish for me. In fact I shall say that both the chicken and this prawn were my most favorite dish.

Well this dish were known as braised assorted mushroom wrapped in bean curd skin. It was quite delicious but not as delicious as the chicken and the prawn still.

Well this dish is considered that it be the first dish ever served. But too bad it never does. So in the end not many ate the rice and it goes wasted into the garbage bin.

Our last dishes is shown here. Sea coconut with longan. Well it always my best desert.
This is of course my share of the sea coconut with longan drink. But as everybody knows this is not my only bowl but of course I get to have more than one bowl since not many wanted to drink it anymore after they had filled their stomach with all the delicious food.
Managed to take quite a few group photos with my colleagues. Here are some of it.. =)
This is the table where I sat.

First met this couple during the dinner. Quite a nice couple though. Both are working in the same company but different department. Can't really remember their name though.

Me and two ladies.. (Ms Emily and Ms Pek Yee)


Me and a close colleague of mine, Teh Soon Huat. =)

Me and a pretty colleague, Yap Lay Min.

Me and my boss, Mr Tham Kam Seng.

Me and Dr. Tan Kee Kong, one of the big boss around in the company. He might not be the biggest but his post in the company is quite big though. Don't play, play..
Anyway that's all bout my dinner blog, folks. May you enjoyed looking at the pictures ok? By the way, if you are ever invited to go for staff annual dinner or any free dinner organised by the company, please do not hesitate to go. Do not give excuses like its too far or things like that. Cause you won't know who you will met and how you are going to mingle around with them. In another sense you might be finding in their eyes and vice versa.. =) God bless...
