As the evening went on, guests were treated to an awesome stand-up comedy drag queen Noris and that got everyone laughing away and crackling up their bellies.

Societe Generale Year End Staff Celebration 2013

Event: Societe Generale Year End Staff Celebration 2013
Date: December 2013
Venue: Rock Urban Grill Bar, Marina Bay Financial Centre

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. 

As it was a after work get together celebration, the event was kept short and informal. Some got lucky and won prizes, some had good food and drinks, and overall everyone left happily with big bright smiles.

Merry Christmas!!

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!

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!

Despite the audience was made up of staff and guests, everyone participated and joined in the fun and games segment.

During the dinner, 4 staff performed and entertained the audience. Their performance were really good and one of them gave an impersonation of Michael Jackson!

Magician Jeremy Tan performed a mentalist show tonight and got the audience giving him a standing ovation at the end of his show. To top it all, Emcee Richard gave the 350 audience a laughing good time through the dinner and made them all join in a mass dance. It was awesome to feel the energy coming from the crowd!

Finally, the finale of the evening was the celebration champagne toast by senior management and we taught the non-Singaporeans how to do the "yum seng" toast cheer. It was a great successful and many guests and staff came forward to congratulate on the success of the show.

Fuji Xerox Asia Pacific Dinner and Dance 2013

Event: Fuji Xerox Asia Pacific Dinner and Dance 2013

Date: November 2013

Venue: Mandarin Oriental, Singapore

Theme: Our Childhood Dreams

Tonight's theme is very special unlike "Back to School" or "Superheroes". It is about childhood dreams and ambitions. There were policemen, pilots, detective Sherlock Holmes, Snow White, Fairies, Nurses, Sailors, Cabin Attendants and many many more. There were also Super Mario, Flintstones and Mickey Mouse too!

Honda-san, President, Asia Pacific Operations, showed up in a pilot's outfit and his opening speech was well crafted as if a pilot was making announcement in the cabin. Everyone started laughing and he really got the energy flowing!

There was an in-house band, comprising of both local and overseas staff. The band came with their own equipment and delivered an impressive performance. Apart from the staff performance, we had the mentalist and magician Jeremy Tan and comedy juggling duo Kit and Kai.

Because of the amazing great turnout in costumes and outfits, the Best Dressed contestants were simply overwhelming. I did a comedy talk show interviewing all the contestants and kept everyone laughing for half hour non-stop!

The finale of the event was a mass dance, led by the staff and myself. We got everyone standing up, danced in synchronised steps and started forming a train that went round the ballroom. IT was AWESOME!
