White Looks Good On Me. I Think...

Sigh. I have neglected this blog for sometime due to unexplained laziness and lack of time. It seems like whenever I want to write, something always came up. So, it's a bit harder nowadays to find that extra minute to write something worth jotting and reading. For now, I just want to write a few things regarding the recent - well, not really recent - annual company dinner that we had on the 25th April in Gurney Hotel. See what I mean? That event was almost two weeks ago, hahaha..!!!

Anyway, the theme for that night was the 60s and 70s. Well, I had a relatively quiet night by my own standards (which isn't that high, really). Just had some fun after a tiring day. My whole schedule read something like this.

11.00 am: Just woke up. Late night supper with friends costs me some sleep. I slept at 4.30am, so red eyes...!!

12.00 pm: Surfing the net. Thinking about what to buy and wear for the annual dinner.

1.00 pm: Finally, leaving the house and going for lunch. Ate until around 1.30pm and went to Prangin Mall. Surely this should be a piece of cake? I only need to buy a white pants, a white fedora hat and a pair of white shoes. Bah! Should be peanuts...Or so I thought.

2.30pm: Still wandering around Prangin Mall. Man! This place is small, but it's pretty hard to find what I wanted.

3.50pm: Finally, I found a nice white pants. Matched it with the vest that I bought in Queensbay the day earlier.

Bought it without second thought. Man! I had a wedding service to attend to at 5.00pm in Penang Road. Have to move faster than this!
4.15pm: Found my white fedora hat. Nice. Indiana Jones would have been proud.

4.30pm: At last, bought a pair of not-really-white shoes with a black strip. This should match the colors perfectly, I hope.

4.45pm: Reached the church in time, except, the bride hasn't arrived yet! Bummer! Luckily I did not wear the full attire yet. I would have been roasted had I done so!

5.50pm: The wedding service ended. We immediately 'flew' in Luisa's red-hot-ass car. Luckily she's the female Schumacher. We managed to get there in time, but only just.

6.00pm: Went to the gents restroom to change. I must say, it's not that bad at all. Finished shopping in around 2 hours, attended the wedding and arrived in the hall just on time. All in a day's work. Phew!

This pic was taken after I arrived in the ball room. Actually I was going for the 60s mafia look, but I think I ended up a bit like Michael Jackson in the Thriller video clip. But I like the whole white color attire, including the fedora hat. It's just so...pure, hehehe.

The dinner was great (just wished I had more time to eat) and for the third time in my whole life, I won a lucky draw. The prize? A musical Chinese New Year set for all the goodies and sweets. I must say, it is useful for a once-in-a-year event. Meanwhile, I will just keep it in the box then.

The rock and roll party only started at 11pm to 12am (quite short it made me think of going to SS for some encore!) and boy, did we rocked and rolled! Some literally fell like rocks and rolling (I'm not kidding...) on the floor.

Exhausted. But memorable and fun. Bring it on 2010!
