Anyway, I realised that the HSBC Insurance D&D which I went for last week was really the first one I went to. Prudential one not really counted coz I had to pay for it myself, Nuance-Watson one was held at Shangri-la The Line in the afternoon so also not counted (though it was freaking awesome!) and I don't remember SaSa ever having a D&D. Probably coz I was a part-timer?
So, I was soooo excited about the first ever REAL D&D that I was going to! Somemore they had a theme! Masquerade! And they even provided masks for us!! How cool is that? This is what I totally love about working in a big company.
As usual, I planned to do alot of things to prepare for it but in the end I overslept and rushed through my preparations. Hehe. But it all turned out quite well la. Shall let the pictures do the talking.
Took a cab down with Jennie and this is the scene we were greeted with..
There was a section for us to take free photos and get them printed out poloriod style! And look closely.. You KC girls see anyone familiar?

Haha.. Was so surprised to see her there! SHE was the photog that day. And I heard she only got paid $50, not from my company but from the studio who hired her. But she looked cool la! Haha. And the door gifts were Robinsons vouchers!!!! There were $50, $80 and $100 in the form of lucky draw but we were late so only the $50 ones were left. Sad.
The surprising thing was, not many people wore the masks! I only wore it to take the picture and get into the feel. Haha.
The place was smaller than I expected, probably around 15 tables? I though it'd be like 25 or 30. Haha.
Raffles Hotel
I took a photo of the menu coz I was afraid I'd forget the dishes! And true enough I more or less forgot. I think I didn't take a few of the dishes as I was too busy eating. Haha.
Eight Harmony TreasuresHmm. Looks like there are only 7 items on the plate leh. Lol.
Double Boiled Winter Melon Soup with Chicken and MushroomsNo sharks fin! Boo! Haha. Probably coz my dear manager who's in the committee is against eating that.
I forgot to take photos of the prawns and only remembered to take the fish's bones. After that was broccoli with crabmeat gravy that I also forgot to take. Hee. Was too engrossed watching the stage activities which I also forgot to take. There was a lucky draw (only for permanent staff I'm contract!), games and also the best dressed award.
Slow Braised Eight Treasures Duck with ChestnutsWhats with them and eight ah?! Is it some chinese thing I dunno about? Oh wait, wait, is it the eight is luck bullshit? Coz I know that SEVEN is the number which rocks. =D
Special Fragrant Fried Rice wrapped in Lotus LeafAnd then they started playing the music and I pulled everyone to go dance! Fun fun~ Music was retro.. Very not me. But still fun! Steph was so high on wine and started kissing all the girls one by one! Lol.
Angie was damn high as well. Haha. I drank red and white wine and beer so was DAMN red, but wasn't high. But by the time I reached by bro's chalet my head was hurting like a bitch and all I wanted to do was sleep. But then Eric they all came and I had to wake up and play poker. One of the few times I won. =DK la more posts soon, its waaaaaaaaaay past my new bedtime.
