Sambo E&C Co Annual Dinner 2013

Event: Sambo E&C Co Annual Dinner2013

Date: December 2013

Venue: Sambo Innovation Building, Singapore

I am delighted to be engaged as the host for this evening, where the management and employees of Sambo got together for an annual dinner celebration at their own building along Jalan Tukang, Singapore. The building is spanking new and the function room was large enough to accommodate 250 guests, with stage, 2 projector screens and 2 buffet lines. The korean, foreign and local employees were all very courteous and friendly. I like their culture!

Employees from the various work sites around Singapore started arriving in groups at about 6pm. The registration was smooth and everyone got comfortable, relaxing and chatting while waiting for the event to begin. After the welcome speech by the managing director, he presented awards for outstanding performance to 20 individual employees.

Dinner commence and after dinner, some stage fun and games commenced. All the audience were separated into several groups where each had a leader up on stage. The leaders had special tasks that they had to complete and everyone was laughing away at the same time cheering their leaders.

After a few games, we were all eagerly looking forward to Fire Illusionist Danny Koh and his captivating performance. He wowed the audience with a myriad of tricks and fire stunts that earned him huge rounds of applause. Lucky draw followed and the evening rounded up with everyone doing 3 cheers to korean wi ha yo!

An nyeong ha se yo Sambo!

Japan Tobacco International Annual Dinner and Dance 2013

Event: Japan Tobacco International Annual Dinner and Dance 2013

Date: December 2013

Venue: 1-Altitude, One Raffles Place, Singapore

Tonight's theme is Neon Night, a unique and interesting theme for dinner and dance corporate events. I spent a week sourcing for stage outfit suited to the theme. Finally, I settled with making my very own neon light outfit. What I did was to (use 2-4 metres EL lights) of various colours and very thin fishing line to sew the neon EL lights to my outfit.

The event started with an opening speech by the general manager and a time of recognizing various employees for their long service with the company. The first performance was a comedy showtime known as the Kiki and Ms Mole show. The crowd enjoyed the performance and were seen laughing away.

One of the highlights for the evening was the auction game where chips won by guests at the pre-dinner activities were pooled together to bit for prizes that the entire table could share.There were more fun and games to tickle everyone's funny bone and also for the staff to entertain their colleagues and peers for the evening.

After the final curtain call for the evening, everyone was elated and proceed to the rooftop bar for part two of the celebration party. 

Happy New Year JTI and may 2014 be a great year for all!

As a way to round up 2013, the organisers put together a Christmas celebration for about 200 staff this evening at this great venue. Food was awesome coupled with free flow of beverages. Every guest was presented a gastronomic line up of sumptuous tapas, mains and sweets. As it was an after work event, the guests eagerly made their way to the venue right after knocking off work.

We played 1-2 games right after the CEO opening speech as quick energizers and icebreakers to get all the guests comfortable. More games continued and we had so much fun with spontaneous participation from local and foreign guests.

Riiiiinnnnngggg! Riiiiinnnnngggg! 

"Quick! Don't be late. The school bell has rung and it's the first day of school!"

"Class, My name is Richard Style and I am your new class teacher. We are going to have a great time this evening learning, playing and winning together. Are you ready?"

It was so much fun this evening as the staff of Jet Aviation (Asia Pacific), comprising of locals and foreigners, came dressed in school uniforms from all different countries. It was awesome!

To spice up the mood for the evening, we had a Lady Gaga impersonation show by Jeffrey Chung Models which saw two great male dancers among the audience. The audience was cheering and clapping as the male audience imitated Lady Gaga's dance moves. They took to the stage as the music pumped on and started gyrating as if it was their own show!

We had some fun and games for the evening and saw great participation and response from every table. When it was time for the Best Dressed contest, it was really difficult selecting the participants as there were so many to choose from. Finally, with the audience nomination, we had 5 gentlemen and 5 ladies whom impressed everyone with their outfits.

The finale of the evening was a company photo taking as given some of their colleagues were on shift duties, they could only join us halfway. The energy was fantastic and everyone stayed behind for more group photos even after the event has ended.

To the wonderful Jet Aviation family, thanks for having me as your show-host in 2013!

NSL Annual Dinner and Dance 2013

Date: November 2013

Venue: Carlton Hotel, Singapore

Hats or Masks? How about both?

It's Madhatters and Masquerade night for the staff at NSL! So who's coming with quirky hats? Or mystical eye mask?

Tonight, 150 staff from NSL celebrated their annual dinner and dance with Singapore emcee Richard Style. The games were uniquely created with hats as props to suit the theme.

The Best Dressed was specially tailored for groups and teams, not individuals! It was awesome to see the team spirit displayed as various groups came in coordinated and uniform colours. Totally impressive!

What's a Dinner and Dance without mass dancing and partying? Yes, everyone got on their feet and started boogie-ing away with the emcee. Great crowd, great fun, great times!

To all the staff at NSL, Have a great 2014!!
