This is a very, very, very late post and photos were uploaded to my FB profile long ago as well but I'm still gonna blog about it...

I'll be making up for all the posts that I've failed to update regularly on my blog by updating the outdated posts...Sooo again, I ask of all of you readers to be patient... =)

I was actually quite excited about this Dinner & Dance thingy, cuz it's my FIRST VIRGIN EXPERIENCE!!! Yeah~ Like, ok...I'm behaving like a total dork but hey, when its this time of the year, it means we could all let loose our hair, relax and best of all~ PLAY DRESS UP!!!!! o(^v^)o

Though I must say, most of the people whom attended were really in the dressing up mood except for the committee members and a small group of people which, of course, includes ME!!!! *Giggles

The theme set for this year is "Magical Moments" as you can see from the photo below~
Well initially, I thought we had to dress up like princes and princesses but when I asked one of my colleagues (in the committee), he said we could dress up as whatever kind of character we would like to be...Needless to say, I was HAPPY!!

Immediately I've got the idea of what I wanted to be/ dress up as~ And for some of you, who aren't aware...I'm not gonna tell you now...Just continue reading and see for yourself! =)

Contents of my invitation card with Lucky Draw number~ (>.<)
And oohh! Laogong bought me this ring that's totally lovely~ =)
It's for matching my costume too~ *Chuckles
My nails for the Dinner and Dance, with my lovely ring! (^-^)

TA DA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I transformed into Gothic Lolita for the night!
It took me around 2 hours just to complete the above look!!! We're all only allowed off from work at 3pm sooo imagining me, trying to rush home and prepare all the stuffs needed for my Lolita look!!!

Luckily Laogong came to fetch me (borrowed his friend's car) sooo I don't hafta wait for the company bus...Still it was a whirl wind!!! Got home and went to gather all my stuffs immediately!! Wore my dress, took all the necessary stuffs including my cosmetics out and poof~ Off we went to Fiona's, for styling of my hair~

Decided to go to Fiona as I seriously do not have that much time to curl my hair all by myself~ Fiona was already standing by with her curling iron when we've reached...*Giggles

After the 1 hour of curling, my hair was finally done...Immediately I switched to the last seat and started my make-up (Yes! I did my own make-up at Fiona's place cuz she was the one who suggested it to me beforehand, to help me save time! *Giggles), Fiona even helped me put on one side of my lower-faux lash cuz I was feeling clumsy~ hahahas

It was already near 7pm when I was done, Fiona did the last touches to my hair by putting on the mini top hat for me and viola!~ Laogong and I rushed off as we're running late!!

There's also the major traffic jam which deterred us further!!! *Argh

Only managed to reach there around 7.45pm...*Lucky draw chance flew away~ As we need to register for the draw before 7.45pm~ Oh well....I'm there for the fun too sooo it didn't really bothered me much~

Kissed Laogong goodbye before heading into "Marriot Hotel" and I could literally feel all the "eyes" staring at me when I walked in...

I was really LATE~ Cuz I realised I was the last one to reached the venue with all the rest sitting snugly at the table!!! (>.<)

Hurried in and joined my colleagues, with a embrassed look on my face cuz I stepped in after the V.I.P.(s) (GM, Managers...blah...blah)~ *lmao

We all skipped the first performance "Belly Dancing" and got outside...That's when all the shooting/ photo-taking/ cam-whoring starts!! Hahahas

I was "grabbed" by lotsa people for photo-taking! Even took photos with people that I don't even know! Hahahas~ Everyone, from the office to the production department were letting their hair loose and having lotsa fun and sharing laughters which seemed endless~

Wendy and me~
Me, Siangyee, Kher Ein and Ailing
Half-way through all the photo-takings...Someone who walked pass (on his way to the gents) exclaimed aloud: "Is she a Doll or human?" *LOL

Yes...You've guessed it...That "she" was referring to me~ Everybody laughed upon hearing that guy and after a few more photos, we headed back in and sat at our respective tables, enjoying the delicious food~

Next up! I was chosen by the committee and was the first person whom the emcee called up on stage~ There were 3 other girls chosen as well and I was shocked by one of them as she was also donned in the similar outfit as I was!!! Boy, and I thought I was the only one doing the Lolita look! (-.-") *Smacks forehead...

However!!! The lucky thing was that she didn't really complete the whole look! *Whew~ Later on, you'll know why...

And, and!!! I actually won the "Miss Best-Dressed" award!!! *Yippeeee!!! o(^w^)o

Apparently the votes were counted by the loudness of clapping and the girl whom dressed up similarly, almost had the equally-deafening claps as I did!!! *Whew once again~ hahahs..

The emcee even had all the audiences clapped more than twice for me and that girl...Felt really happy and lucky!! It was afterall, my very first time attending dinner and dance, getting up on stage and best of all, winning a prize!!! d(^v^)b

He's one helleva entertaining emcee!!!
Me and sweet Radiah~ (One of the Miss-Best Dress contestants)
Really loved her outfit and it suits her personality to the core!
Evelyn, me, Yang Shuai and Radiah~
Well you might notice Radiah is very much appearing in almost every photo, I think she really loves taking photos with me...*Giggles
Hidayah, Siti, me and Radiah~
And here's the rest of the contestants...Did you spot the "ONE" who's looking very similar to what I'm wearing?? And ooh! The one beside me, in red? That's Catherine! My very friendly and lovely colleague~ =)

Look at the emcee's funny expression! *LOL
By the way, the emcee actually tricked me (and the rest of the audiences) into believing for a moment, that my prize was actually a 2 days, 1 night stay at the Marriot Hotel!! *Omigosh

Later on while back at my seat, my colleagues were all excited and happy for me...Had me opened up the envelope that I received and ta da~ No free hotel stay lah~ But!!! I got a high-tea buffet voucher for two at Marriot's!!!

I'm still HAPPY!! =D

Photos in between~

Me and Ailing~ I want her "Chanel" handbag can!!! *LOL
Elegant-look for our pretty and blur-sotong Siangyee~ *lmao
She's the most blur-sotong I've ever met!! =P
Me and Catherine~ She's in a Vietnamese outfit and did I mention how much I love her red coat?? =P
Group photo!
Then!!! There is the "Talent-Time"!!!

I believed everyone had been anticipating eagerly, for this part of the night in the longest time! Cuz even my colleagues and I were eagered to see the perfomances and also to root for Jonathan!!!! =D

This guy sang "Zhou Hua Jian's" song....Couldn't remember what title thou'...
Up next!! Duet performance by Claire and Jonathan!!!
They sang "Hotel California" and we thought it was pretty good!!!
There aren't photos of the rest of the contestants cuz I wasn't really interested in snapping them~ *LOL

Following after, the emcee chose 4 males and 4 females up onto the stage again, where they were to vie for the title; "Mr & Miss CIBA" of the year 2009!!! Sounds really prom-ish huh?? HAHA

Both Siangyee and Ting Ting were "dragged" on stage by the emcee personally!!
The ecmee demonstrated a "man-walk" for the guys to follow-suit~
Shake-a-bon bon, shake-a-bon bon~ hahaah

And~ The winners were; Kannan and Ting Ting for the acclaimed title of "Mr & Miss CIBA 2009"!!!! LOL

Fast forward to results of "Talent-Time"~
Zhou Hua Jian was First in place while Jon and Claire were second~ They've done a really great job!!
