not HARD yet: PENANG FRIENDS GATHERING DINNER

Just like last year, Penang Friends Gathering Dinner was held in Penang but this time it was in Sunway Hotel, Georgetown on the 31 Oct, 2009. On Friday, 30th, A and I went to Alor Setar and we only check-in to the hotel the next day, staying there for two days before going back to KL on Monday, the 1st. There were few places of interest in Alor Setar and Jitra in which I will blog on it later...God Willing...

If last year's theme was Hari Raya..now it was 70's retro and it could be more interesting if only the organiser decided to choose Halloween as its theme since that nite in itself was Halloween Nite. Regardless, respecting the wish of the organiser, A and I decided to dress properly according to the theme. I, with the disco era kinda of dress aka John Travolta (with a big tummy, that is...perasannnn) and A chose to be Elvis complete with a wig. Earlier, I thought of wearing an afro kinda wig but decided against it. 70's was my schooling years... and I know how it was like..Not all of us had that kinda of look.... Out of 60 or more guests, 30% of them, I can say did dress up for the nite...

Same like last year, there were games, lucky draws and performances by groups from KL and Penang.... Dinagogo as an emcee was hilarious....a real performer and entertainer....unlike last year A and I were unlucky for the lucky draws (last year, A won the second last lucky draw, winning a huge hamper full of foods)....this year I won second best dress of the nite. taking home another huge hamper in which I discovered later, also included a rice cooker and a toaster as well as all those foodies..

Thanks again to the organizer....it will a nite to remember as always....
