Wooh yeah, finally got a chance to attend company annual dinner tho I actually just missed the Macfood one which also held in this month.
Well, I guess i am lucky to meet the Bakel's annual dinner.
Ya, our theme for anuual dinner this year is Night of colors, means the dress code is smart casual and colorful~
I even went to buy a colorful dress for this event!
It was a flowery dress, but with many colors lol. I also put on my yellow heels which bought in Auckland 4 years ago, I seldom wear it, and come to realize actually it already nearly ruined and would spoil anytime...wow, indeed cannot store shoes without wearing them....
The event was held at Saujana Hotel in Ara Damansara, venue place was classic and very Malays style tho..
Food was buffet style and served outdoor, but the event was held indoor.
I come quite early, almost 30min before the other guests arrived. Hence was told to in charge the reception, well we are such a small company, today only I come to find out the number of people in my new company is 109 people in total.
How do i know? I was the one who pass out the lucky draw number~ Tho I met a picky sales lady who shouted at me blaming i did not give her the lucky number 8.
Why should I? I was just giving out the number according to the sequence, you could choose to be the 8th people to collect the draw~
Poi Yee in charge of the registration, while Karen in charge of giving out the door gift - Bakels labelled speaker~
After almost handling 100 people, we went in to get a table.
We sat quite close to the stage, and apparently there was an indian who is our company's logistic driver was already drunk before the event started!
This was terrible and shameful of the manager could not manage him!
Well, luckily his friends from Inventory department still able to manage him to stop him doing awkward thing~
I was really scared that he might be so hyper and insult any of us.
The commitee even hired a MC for the event who was very cheesy and flirty i would say, especially to our supply chain manager who already married!
Well, is it necessary to get a MC? Maybe for the event to be fun and high, yes.
There were many prizes to be won too, means there will be games!
My assistant, Siti was picked by the MC to the stage to stop the music, while the music still ongoing, people under the stage by table number need to pass the number plate to other stage.
So all people from the table chosen need to act like choo choo train and passed the number plate to another table.
If the music stopped, the table of people who still holding the number plate will be considered lose for the game.
Our table lose at the very begining which somehow was good as we no longer need to line up and run to other table.
After the first game, dinner finally get started.
To be honest, the meal was just alright. The snaper was very salty, and the roasted lamb was so dry!
Luckily the beef and chicken satay was delicious and save the night~
Tristan, the general manager of the Bakels gave a speech while everyone still digging into their food.
Following that, it was lucky draw session!
Everyone was so excited about the prize and thankful that everyone will get a prize.
I got a RM100 Aeon cash voucher which was good enough for me, because as a new comer, I wouldnt expect i would get such a chance to join the dinner and even got a prize.
Siti was really the highlight of the night! She won the grand prize - RM2500 cash!!
Her number was 14, which was given by me specially for her.
Reason was because of the picky sales lady who was so conservative and suspicious about the association of number 4 with death (same pronouncation as death in mandarin)
So in case I met someone who also that picky and suspicious, i gave the number 14 to Siti.
And the number 4 was taken by Karen, she also won the 4th prize, RM300 cash with 1 night free stay at Saujana hotel!
See, number 4 was the lucky number of the night!
The night was quite fun, everyone was enjoying it~
Event finished around 11ish, with the group photo~
Thank you for the night. Looking forward for the next annual dinner~
