The dinner started after the speeches with a toss (okay, many tosses!) of Yee Sang. According to Chinese beliefs, the higher you toss the Yee Sang, the more prosperous your life would be! IMG_9555

Then, while the dinner progressed with courses after courses of mouth-watering cuisines, the event also progressed with gifts after gifts given away for the lucky draws!

Almost everybody walked back happily, winning something from the lucky draws! There were so many gifts given away that night; from iPhone 6, iPad Mini, MacBook Air, Go Pro, Xiaomi, TVs to even the one gift that everything is looking out for — a 10% salary increase! No kidding!

No, it’s not only a paper okay? The real product wasn’t here yet 😛

In between the lucky draw session, there was also a game session to keep the night going. The game is called “Guess The Movie” where movie trailers are played with their respective soundtrack for the audience to guess.

A more difficult version of the game was played later on, where a few from the floor were selected by the emcee to come up on stage and separated into groups. Each group was then given a letter containing a title of a movie, which they have to act out for everyone else to guess. At the end of the game, the floor was instructed to decide on the group that pulled off the best acting.
