Post Veritas Design Group Annual Dinner 2010 - Finally!

Costume?... Check..!
Hair?... Check..!
Accessories?.. Check..!
Performance?.. OMG.. Sey laa.. Mati..!

I have listed down a few things just to make sure that I was competitive enough for the TRIBAL NIGHT Veritas Design Group Annual Dinner 2010 (RM300 Best Female Costume. Siapa tak nak?!). Last minute decisions by Planning and Global to do the performance (3 days before the annual dinner! Gila!), compiling the musics, story board.. I was stressed.. And yet, I had fun practicing! Intan, Nassim, Tommy, Qairie, Rohen, Farhan and I busted our a**es just to make sure we will get the RM1,500 prize + Best Group Costume, another RM1,500. Wow!! Crazy right? Kaya betul Veritas ni.. I like!

That Saturday (23rd Jan) morning we had Veritas Quarterly Meeting, ugghh.. Came home late the night before and had to wake up EARLY in the morning to attend the meeting. But I was really looking forward to it, because we had a photo shoot going on. Oh yeah.. I was so game man! Hahaha.. I just love flashes! Confession: Dear bosses, sorry we had to leave early from the meeting, we had our final rehearsal/practice/wanted to win so badly for our performance. Maaf ye.

I was really kabut that day.. The final rehearsal, rushed for waxing and threading, salon to do the chic 'lion' hairstyle.. And finally, I arrived at the Borneo Baruk Club. I had to come early because I was assigned to register VAKL, VG and VP for the staffs' lucky prizes with Intan. While I was busy registering Veritasians, En. Azril (newly appointed principal) called. He got lost. Ish ish ish.. I agreed to wait for him at the entrance (where they have the big sign showing BORNEO BARUK. I still can't figure out how he missed the sign!). Dah la berpeluh2 tunggu dia, he couldn't even recognize it was me! He thought I was some 'drag/ah qua/she-male' on the job! Thanks En. Azril!

The party started at about 8.30pm, had our dinner right after David gave his speech and then.. Jeng jeng jeng.. Performance time..!

The 1st group performed by Veritas Architects Johor (they won for the best performance. Congratulations!). Waaaa~.. We did not win! It's okay.. Ada 1 lagi prize tinggal. 2nd group was us. OMG.. my heart was pounding real fast and hard. Berdebar okay! Intan had our performance recorded and we watched it a few days after. Wakakaka.. It was so damn funny! Dah la berterabur.. Ish ish ish.. Bottom line.. Our group had fun. Rohen's costume was the bomb! His character was British tourist (check out the pictures). Memang terbaik! 3rd group was VAKL's Admin, sorry I did not watch you guys performed, I was chit chatting with Azif's wife (nice lady. It seems that we have a few things in common ;p). And the last group.. Veritas Landscape (they pulled a Puteri Gunung Ledang theatrical performance). You should see their costumes! Made me go waaaayyy back to Hang Tuah era.. Classic! Oh yeah, by the way, they won the Best Costume prize! Waaaa~~ There goes our 'Chic Urban African Tribe' costume.. Congratulations Veritas Landscape. Tommy won the Best Male Costume prize and Nassim won the Best Female Costume prize. Congratulations you two! (What?! I didn't win anything at all? Well, next time maybe :( )

Well, there is no need to elaborate in details about the annual dinner. The pictures will tell you the story how much we had fun that night. Even my daddy (Ng Yiek Seng) was grooving on the dance floor! Go Daddy! Go Daddy! Go, go! Unfortunately I have no proof. I didn't have a camera with me at that time (Damn! Cannot blackmail la macam ni). All in all, it was really great that Veritasians were very sporting and always on the go when it comes to such events. Very 1Malaysia concept we have ; p

Tigers are contemplative, emotional and sensitive. Although a short temper and quick tongue may startle their inferiors, usually tigers are filled with a great warmth and sympathy for those of whom they are fond. They are widely respected for their courageousness. Power is their natural gift and they wield it with righteousness and authority.
