Event: 40th Anniversary Celebration @ Sentosa

My organisation's parent organisation had a 40th Anniversary Celebration at Sentosa. It was extremely efficient of them to tell us like, 4 days before hand so they had to send us home to get bitch beach wear the day before. Then go back to our company again to sleep there for the night, so that we get rise and shine early to get ready for the excitment to come. We were extremely happy that we got to participate in this event since the event was half day and we can go out for a while before we go back to our company at night to prepare for another even more enthralling event the next day (this event wont be featured on my blog, so losers who wants to know buzz off). 


And so we woke up, ate breakfast and changed into our beach wear. We were so excited to get out of our company as soon as possible so as to participate in the event that, during area cleaniness inspection, we were kind of sloppy and did a bad job. But trust me, the failing of the area inspection, meant to ensure that our living conditions were in tip top condition for the less-than-12-hours while we are away, did not douse our spirits. We even played bitchy music on the bus to up everyone's spirits.



Upon reaching there, we realised we were the first to reach, the first organisation, the first company of the organisation, and the first department of the company. There at the beach, we got blasted by loud god-knows-where-they-got-their-music. Being the only ones there, we absorbed the full energy of the sound waves, making us energetic (seriously, we were like constantly "omg!!" "wth is this music!?" "argh!!" "pls stop, just stop!!"). The DJs were short on their supply of music i suppose, as they repeated their 10 tracks or so.



Finally the event started as we welcome our guest of honour. To everyone's horror surprise, the disciplinarian of the organisers had us all stood up and asked us to stand to attention as he did a formal reporting of manpower strength to the guest of honour. After all the cra-, i mean briefing, we set off to play an amazing race game in 3 waves, with me being in the second. When the first wave left, they ran off. When my department started, we strolled the tram-stop to wait for the tram. Lol. We had our fair share of fun (and rest + food during the game itself), and I took the sky ride. Haha, kiddy but it was not bad. Its been long since i went to Sentosa.


We waited impatiently after the game at the beach for the announcement, in hopes of going home that we will win something. Then we took a photo by forming the number "40" on the beach and shouted our parent's organisation's motto when they snapped the photo. Corny but retarded enthusiastic. When we were about to leave, they stopped us and said we have to sing our parent organisation's theme song. We felt so insulted that we are about to make a fool of ourselves proud that we are about to show what we are made of in full view of the public.


Finally we left and we went to a restaurant there where my friend worked before. The staff were so warm and welcoming cause they gave us a lot of free food and seriously i've never eaten such nice pizzas before (one cost about 20 bucks). I ended up only paying 10 bucks after eating about 30 bucks worth of food. Truly marvelous. 


Photo galore coming right up...
