POST-CHINGAY PAYM APPRECIATION DINNER
Met Bing Han at about 5.15pm at Tiong Bahru MRT station. Quite a number of the Macpherson students were also there as well, some of those I could remember are Ting Yi, Chun Ying, Li Rong, Cherie and Houman. Then Guo Hong came and we left for the hotel first. Once there, we head up to the Waterfront Ballroom to collect our performance pay. There were many others there as well. Then I head back down to the main entrance to find Dong Na to return her the name tags. Been about two months since I last saw her. Then saw Kim Hong waiting for the rest. Head back up and waited for the dinner to start. Saw quite a few familiar staffs, Allan, Shen Zhe, Branden, Chin Peng, Kendict, Jensen. Dinner then started. It was buffet style. My table had me, Bing Han, Guo Hong, Stanley, Evelyn, Cherie, Li Rong, Chun Ying, Jia Hui and Kim Hong, all of whom I was quite friends with. There was some activities for all of us. We were divided into 4 groups. There was also a segment where Ray sang on stage with some of his self-composed songs. He really has the talent. In the end, the group which I belong to got the highest points throughout the different rounds. Dinner ended around 9.30pm. Chat around with some of the people. Also had some photo taking. Left at about 10.30pm along with some others.
I really enjoyed myself during this celebration though not much interaction was done. Got to meet up with most of the Chingay performers and most of them were dressed in their best, somewhat like Prom. I hope I can ask some of them out again soon but guess it will have to wait till end of year since the Macphersonians have to prepare for 'O' levels.
