Post-Event Update (April 27th, 2009)

The event went smoothly and it was an absolutely fun and memorable night. There were 80+ attendees, and everybody blended into a pleasant atmosphere of joy and laughter.

I'd like to express my sincerest thanks to everyone present that made this event a success, and a big thanks to all the generous sponsors, as well as friends and colleagues that have helped out (especially Joyce at the reception).

Below is our dinner's itinerary:
- Arrival Of Noblemen
- Drawing The Red Curtain (Ezer's Speech)
- Prologue (Andy's Speech)
- Medals of Honour
- It's.. Party Time (Song Performance by Michael & Andy)
- Dinner Time (and absolutely romantic Only You song rendition by Michael)
- Play Time! (Musical chairs, balloon mania, and trivia quiz with attractive prizes)
- Lottery Of Fortune (5 Lucky Draw winners selected!)
- Freezing The Moment
- Au Revoir

I hope everyone enjoyed themselves - I certainly did! I was absolutely exhausted, but I was still wide awake late into the night with my mind playing back all the scenes from this wonderful party {grin}

Here are some photos of the event, enjoy! A big thanks to Chee Yew and Harris for the photos.

Re: PetFinder 1st Anniversary Gathering - April 18th, 2009
 
Thanks Chelly, please check with them as well to see if they supply the chairs & tables - if not, I'll need to rent them from the caterer as well. I estimate we'll need to accomodate about 50 people.

Once you have booked, please ask them for a receipt and the management contact number, so we can call them for follow enquiries.

Thanks! {wink}

From Kota Kemuning? Very, very, very de sonang wan, friend ... just use the highway to enter NKVE ... at the huge "ACER" signboard, ikut "Ipoh" sign all the way until you see "Damansara" exit and you pay RM2.40 at the Damansara toll gate.

After passing the toll gate, make a U-turn b4 the Damansara Jaya traffic lights, as if entering NKVE again, tapi keep left and turn left to enter BU12 (Bandar Utama).

Keep going straight for a while (ample Tropicana GCC signs to guide you). Several green Tropicana sign boards will instruct you to go straight.

After passing several green Tropicana signboards, there will be a blue on instructing you to turn right.

Follow the blue Tropicana signboard and go straight along the road. You will pass myGardenmart on the right. Then you will go through an underpass. Keep going straight and enter Tropicana GCC! {good}

Kota Kemuning to Tropicana GCC 15 minit dah sampai.
