Finally, our company dinner affair ended wonderfully on 13 November 2009 night, the rain did not dampen the mood at all. Hwee Lee, Lay Peng, Stella and myself reached Royal Plaza on Scotts early to start decorating the place. Our reception area was wonderfully decorated with ribbons, our Metso signboard, lucky draw box, company color theme green / orange balloons, etc. The 3 ladies had "fun" blowing up the balloons while I was excused due to my pregnancy.

Next, we went to Balmoral Room, our very night's ballroom. The hotel staff were hard at work getting the turnover of the room done as there was an event earlier before our night's event. The earlier event's attendees were really kind of a mess, considering the litters on the floor...

The work starts as we busied ourselves around the room trying to ensure everything was in place, the setting up of the stage, the music CDs for the night, the tables for the games, etc. By 6:45pm, the guests were starting to turn up for the pre-cocktail affair by the poolside (*pity it's still raining). Luckily there's a lovely sheltered bar side by the pool for all to linger around on the chairs and tables.

All the staff started filling in for the night, atmosphere was great as everyone started mingling around. By 7:15pm, we proceeded to the ballroom, everyone in anticipation of the night's event to start. I was famished by then, guess baby must be feeling really hungry too...

Everyone started going round the buffet spreads with the accompanying music in the background. A lovely prelude to the games ahead as everyone started building up their energy. the night was successful, people was taking part in the games, mingling around with a glass of wine in one hand. Guys were getting rowdy, but overall everyone was enjoying themselves.

Finally, time for me to catch some breathe, seems like being heavily pregnant does hinder my actions in some way...
