When? 13th April 2012
Where? Alkira Restaurant at Inti College Subang Jaya
What? Retro Charity dinner!
Price? RM45
This event was organized by the seniors for their Event Management subject. At first I wasn't planning to go, but in the end, we took all the last 6 tickets. With whom I went with? Jubby, Ivy, Kevin, Lee and Raymond. So anyway, on that day after class, I went back to DHM house to get ready for the event. I was kinda stressing out about the costume before that because I did not know how to dress retro-ly. Hence I decided to go with the dress which I bought for Keng Sein's Red Themed birthday party. Not so sure if it suits or not, but everyone says yes, that looks quite retro :)
Anyway, as usual, the girls will always take a long time preparing for an event while the guys always have to wait. Kekeke! I was thankful that I have so many helpful friends! Two of them (Jubby and Boey) helped curl my hair. Feeling so pampered by them! Whereas Annie and Hui Yean were busy helping Jubby and Ivy with their makeups.
Me, in the process of having my hair curled :P
I was surprised with the outcome! I think I look quite the nice with curly hair. I was so tempted to curl my hair permanently after that night, but then I was again reminded that being in this hospitality industry requires us to bun (or at least tie) up our hair most of the time, especially now when we're doing Housekeeping operation. So yes, curling hair shall wait :(
Drove to the college as it was raining. So now, I shall let the pictures take over the talking! Although I think most of my friends have seen it on Facebook already :P
Love the table decorations!
The M&Ms are not edible though. Glutton Raymond and Jubby actually ate them :P
This bread stick is so addictive! We kept refilling until I even lost count how many times we refilled :P
The menu for the night :)
And the beverage menu!
Ze girls ;)
Jubby and I

Love their decoration as well! I actually stole took two pompoms home, with permission ;)
The ladies again :)
The bartenders
The servers :) The senior servers actually had their costume though, but it wasn't provided for the helpers ;(
And finally, the starter came!
Prawn Cocktail
Errr, couldn't remember the name of this beverage. Virgin Margarita I assume?
This is Paradise! I think....
Marvel the cocktail
The lucky draw number!
Lucky draw number on the ticket :)
Me, happy with the bread stick :P
Seafood Chowder!
Halfway consuming our soup, suddenly all the servers became so lively! They started clapping and the next second, they were all in front, doing the committee dance! That was indeed a surprise!
Kevin's red wine
Lee, the Vietnam dude ;)
With the guys minus Kevin
Chicken Ballotine!
And lastly, the Trio Dessert! From left to right - Caramelized Apple Cake, Bitter Chocolate Mousse and Panacotta
All the foods were superbly delicious! Although the time for each course to be served was quite a while, but it was worth the wait! If only I could, I would have asked for refills! But of course I don't think it's allowed, unless I sneak in to the kitchen :P
Oh wait! I did eat more of the chicken after the event has ended since there was so much leftover. Kekeke!
The kitchen crew that put in so much efforts into making our foods so delicious!
And soon after the dessert was served, after the speeches and everything, the guests started leaving. But we stayed back for the 'after-party'!
Chef Lee, my pastry chef who is superbly good at making bread and desserts!
Daisy and Janice! Daisy is a very cute girl T___T
Happy happy them!
Kevin Francis Perara, the Sabah guy and the only guy so far (besides the bf of course :P) who always accompany me to the clinic! Okay lah twice only so far, but still, he actually waited with me at the clinic for almost two hours the last time we went!
Adrian Lau, the Chef of the Day! Thanks for the wonderful food! :)
Because I'm too pretty :P
So that pretty sums up the Retro Night :)
Next up is our turn to organize an event like this! My group is doing Jungle Night and the donation goes to Paws Animals Welfare Society (PAWS)! Really looking forward to this event because it's for PAWS :P Anything that is related to animals I am for sure excited, no doubt!
Hopefully our event will be successful and wonderful and most importantly, please do come! If you're interested, you may leave me a message! ;P
