Had NDP dinner at Teban Gardens for YLEP event just now.

Reached there at 4pm to help out to arrange the tables and hand out flags, brochures, programme booklet etc. There were a total of 400 tables.

I was the usher for the event. Really tiring, my legs are so sore:( At first, didn't really have much " business" as the diners tried to find their own seats and declined my help. Some looked very dao and fierce and i didn't dare to approach them. Some diners walked with determination to their destination and seemed sure of where they were seated. But alas, the place was so huge that they couldn't find their seats, so they gave up and asked for my help. Heheh. The dinner was supposed to start at 7pm but most people arrived only after 7.30pm.

My ears still hurt from the constant blaring of the music and the lion dance.

The organisers are really generous.

We had two free tables for our CCA. I am not sure what is the ticket price but I heard that people have to donate quite a sum to get a table.

8 course dinner with fish maw soup, steamed fish, prawns, abalone mushroom, herbal chicken, cold plate with octopus and seasoned jelly fish. And dessert!

Haha at first we thought the abalone mushroom was really abalone. When the dish arrived, everyone pranced upon the " abalone" and fought for it. It was really just mushroom haha. We figured that since New Moon is the sponsor, maybe there was the possibility of abalone. So disappointed :(

The organisers quite clever eh. They purposely withhold the food and not serve them so that you will listen to all the speeches by the MP and GOH. Otherwise we would probably continue eating our food and not listen :P

A very sumptuous and filling dinner.

Throughout the dinner, we were entertained by songs and dances from various performing arts groups. Know what, they have fake applause pre-recorded so that the atmosphere will not be so "cold" after each performance. I think they know that people will be busy eating instead of paying attention haha. The emcees had quite a hard time in getting the diners to be high. There was lukewarm responses since everyone was really busy tucking in. We also had to stand numerous times for special guests, MPs, GOH etc. Cannot eat properly ah.

We zi-highed while singing the national day songs and waving the flag.

Not forgetting the yam-seng too. 3 times in all :D

The MP Mr S. Iswaran walked to our table and talked to us. Erm didn't really know what to say haha. We just smiled and commented that the food was delicious LOL.

Later, xinyi and xiaoxi ganged up on me by implanting their flags into my ponytail. I must have been such a sight. No wonder the organisers asked us not to wear any sch-based shirts. Hmm.

EOM, WR due. Chem/math/CLL test on mon. GG liao.
