Backdated entry

Date: 12th Dec 07
Venue: Cafe Del Mar
Event: MTV Green X'mas

This is the first office party that I've attended. :) It was a Wednesday and maybe a little too advanced to celebrate Christmas, but heck it since we can escape work earlier than usual! =D After our townhall meeting, we went back to our desks to pack up and make our way downstairs to wait for the buses. We didn't move off as a whole company because some of us had to go later because they needed a longer period of time to finish their work. :) Oh yah! We also had a surprise when we stepped into office today, we all had balloons tied to our phones and we have a cupcake on our table :)




Everyone has a different design :)

It was drizzling slightly on our way there, and also when we walked over to Cafe Del Mar after we disembarked from the bus. It was a slow walk because it was drizzling. And finally we arrived! We had the area cordoned off for us, but all of us stayed in the sheltered area as it was still drizzling.





As soon as we arrived, we were all given a tag to wear. My number is really nice, 111! =D Since our theme is about going green, our tag has a small section where you can pledge to do something about the environment. People gave statements like "take public transport for a week" etc, but I decided to do something different haha!


Soon, the waiters and waitresses came and served us with drinks and finger foods! Yupyup, the cranberry drink is mine. :) So we sat and chit-chatted with colleagues we seldom talk to at work, it was pretty nice and Catherine was our source of entertainment hahaha!


Joyce and I :)

Azlin, Ariel, Dong, DD came later due to their work.

Now that our department is complete, let's take a picture! :)

Okay, the only missing person here is Kelvin.


Staying true to our going-green theme, we were encouraged to bring presents that we received last Christmas that we have no use for and re-gift it! :) Taking up in this gift exchange will give you a chance to enter the lucky draw, with the top prize being $1000 cash!!!


After a while, it's time to start eating!


Time to dig in! Yupyup, that's Denise helping herself to the food. Utt was around too :)












I must say, the creme brule was absolutely heavenly! I had several helpings =D


Yesyes, I had several of these lemon meringue (sp?) tarts too! =D






Yup, you're looking at our winners for the night, Miss Green and Mr Green! :) For the lady, she recycled a old t-shirt, used a measuring tape as her belt and did some other kooky things in the spirit of recycling if I'm not wrong. For the guy, oh well. He had used several green Nickelodeon decorations that we usually see hanging in the office to make his outfit. :) Both of them walked away with $400.

Soon, we have our awards ceremony. For weeks leading up to the party, our bar counter at the pantry had been lined up with boxes for people to drop their votes into. You know the application "Superlatives" in facebook? Yup, it's something like that. We have several categories, "Most likely to have a blonde moment", "Most likely to be a chimney", "Most likely to party like a rockstar", etc.

Here are some of our winners:







And after that, we were in for a treat: We have a drag show!! =D Okay, it was performed by the department heads, people who are usually serious looking in the office. Even our president was involved! They danced to the tunes of Macarena, and it was hilarious hahaha.


A snap shot of them doing their dance

I would love to post up the video, but I really don't wanna lose my job hahaha. What happens in MTV, stays in MTV. :)

We then had our lucky draw, and I was really aiming for the top prize, but gawd I got a lousy pair of adult tickets and children tickets to the zoo. =~( Oh well, better than walking away empty handed I guess...

Left with some of our colleagues, and we got lost because we didn't have any clear instructions on where the buses were parked that would take us to Harbourfront. So in the end, Joojin and I took the Sentosa Express out because she was going to her friend's place who was located nearby. It was a smooth ride for me home, the moment I reach the bus-stop, the bus came, and it was like that, all the way home. :)
