DinnEr And DaNCe 2008

attended my 1st company D&D on 25th jan 2008. prev only attended 2x grad nite, once in sec4 grad nite @ Regent Hotel and the other time in JC2 grad nite @ Ritz-Carlton. This year's co's D&D was held at Shangri-La and i was excited.. high class hotel.. should be v grand ba... received the invitation card abt 2 days beforehand. interesting design... it really looked like a passport.. the theme this year was 007 James Bond ..

anyway.. so much for the anticipation.. i think the only gd pt and the only part worth going for was the fact tt it was held at Shangri-La. i must say.. i did not enjoy the D&D at all. The emcee was lousy though he tried really hard. As the theme was James Bond, the performances were more like a sex show than anything else! and the performers were own staff, not professional performers. boring and draggy and non-engaging. the food were ok but there were only 6 courses w/o counting the dessert. and somehow, i only managed to eat abit of every dish.. either cuz the servings were too small, or we were all big-eaters. and then, gotta wait a hell long time b4 the next course is being served. lucky draw prizes werent attractive except for the top 5. the waiters and waitresses took soo long to respond to us. simple things like asking for chopsticks also need to ask a few times b4 someone got it done. wah kao.. Shangri-La lei... this kind of standard..

all in all, i was disappointed. didnt expect it to be like tt. i think i enjoy wedding dinners much more. i guess largely due to the fact tt our table's at the side of the stage and we can only look at the screen and not the stage itself, hence unable to engage. somemore, my seat was quite near to the screen and at an akward angle.. v diff to even look at the screen.
