Dinner & Dance 2010

I'm in the Committee for NLB Dinner & Dance 2010. It was held at Orchard Hotel, on 22nd October. The turn-out was good and most were in costumes -- very rad!

Our theme was "Fabulous 4G" aka Fabulous 4 Generations. Come dress in any fashion you want, from the baby boomers to the Gen Y. And there were staff decked out in Grease days, retro, hippie, emo... etc !

The event went smoothly and the MC was spectacular. We short-listed a few event companies but Planet Events stood out. Very glad we chose them to run this show for us :)

Yours truly, was in charge of a Lady Gaga dance segment and it was hell finding dancers and scheduling rehearsals but we managed well. Hehehe.. I cajoled two fellow ER Js to join this item and I'm grateful for their help *smooch*

It was nerve-wrecking to boogie on stage but we all had fun and what's more important was the appreciative crowd. Crowd happy = committee happy

Being in the committee, I made extra effort to be 'in the theme'. So with a few other Comm Members, we went to No. 1 Costume shop and rented some outfits. Since the white wig was part of the LGG assemble, I decided to match my funky hairdo with a glaring robe and a pair of Lennon shades (bought 'em).

Thus, I spent the rest of the night being a giant butterfly.

Grooovay !

Children's Day Fiesta 2010

TRL J Librarians came together to celebrate Children's Day at the library. We kicked off the day with free balloons give-away.

Kids LOVE balloons.


We opened up the PlayHouse to set up the Games Carnival and we had a special theme-park wristband idea going. The child will get to wear a band to play the game stations. The square boxes represent each station. Win a token if you clear 2 or more stations!






In addition, we had temporary tattoos and this young lady won a special voucher courtesy of Century Square, for clearing all 4 stations :)


After playing the games, the kid can have a nice bonding time with the parent at the party-hat area. You do not need a loan receipt for this. So it's good for toddlers who are too young to play the carnival games.




While the carnival is happening, we had two J Specials: colorful bubbles for the younger children and a rainforest adventure for the older ones.






The day went smoothly. It was very tiring but all in all, the kids had fun and that's the most important.
