Company D&D 2008


Yesterday, 11 Jan 2008 was my company annual D&D at the Meritus Mandarin Hotel in Orchard. The theme of the D&D was Hawaiian Splash Aloha, so most of us ended up wearing flowery shirt and dress to suit the theme. On the day itself, we left our office early at 6pm to reach the destination. However, it was quite unlucky that when we reach Somerset, there was a heavy downpour…

Arriving at the Hotel, we lined up for registration, followed by some glamour photo takings and some side event games and also had coconut drinks for each person. At around 7.30pm, then the D&D started by the lead of the MC on stage.

The first show on the stage was opened by a Hula Hoop Dance by a mixture of male and female company staff wearing straw dress. It was quite funny on 1 of the male staff was he was continuously made fooled by the MC. Poor guy.



Following that, the MD gave the welcome speech and presented the awards to staff with 10 years of service in the company. Then there was also the handing and taking over event of the old and new REC club.

Then the dinner started along with stage event like the comparison games between the 2 groups in the dinner, such as person with 3 credit cards, man with shortest hair (there is no need to fight for this one, our group sure win. Haha Ü) shortest mini skirt, shortest girl, youngest girl in the company. Along the way, there was also lucky draw for the prize of 26th to 40th positions.

As the D&D progress, there was another game inviting 4 muscular man up on stage to play some Gong Fu memory game. Basically the participants have to do 3 actions relating to Jackie Chan, Bruce Lee and Monk. As the MC mentioned any of the 3 names or any combination of the 3 names, the participant has to carry out the actions as accurate and fast as they can. This part was quite funny, as 1 guy was repeated mentioned by thye MC as not aggressive and the other guy too slow motion in his action. The audience laughed till mad. Haha Ü Then it was followed by the lucky draw prize for 11th to 25th position and I was quite lucky to have my lucky number 8110 called up in the 11th position to receive a AKIRA portable VCD radio cassette recorder. Haha.

After that, was another stage event of the best dress hawaiian parade inviting 4 guys and 4 ladies on stage to do cat walk and I was one of the male participant to be called up on stage. Then I was also the first one to do the cat walk… Then I was too excited during the turn back of the cat walk which I knocked on something… In this game, each participant gets to receive a gift as a token.

Following that, after the last dish of the dinner, everyone was invited to participate in a human-chain train game and then followed by a Mass dance for 10minutes. But then I think that was more than 10 minutes… After that, it was followed by the grand luck y draw presentation for the 1st to 10th position whereby the number was picked by the winner of the best dressed lady. Finally after the 1st prize was given away, the MC called it the day for the D&D and most of us left the hotel back home. Most of us have a great time together. Luckily the event ends around 11+pm, hence there was no need to take the expensive cab back home. Haha.
