Greetings members@CCC,

I thought I will start this thread for us to discuss about our Chinese New Year 2008 Celebration Dinner.

This year, the Chinese New Year falls on Thursday 7-February-2008. Let us celebrate it. :):):)

I think we have hkhung and btchia willing to organise this year's dinner. And I was told that they would like to hold it on Saturday 2-February-2008.

We welcome suggestions from all our members@CCC.

To remember what we did last year 2007, please refer to this thread located at:

Greetings wilfredlgf,

Hahaha... Wish that you could be here in Melbourne, Australia, with us. :):):)

BTW, the restaurant we are going to is exactly what you would prefer ... Maneki-neko at its entrance, no roti canai served, sad Annie Lennox Karaoke songs for you to sing, etc, ...... :D:D:D
.

As well as friendly and comely waitresses in qipao? ;)

since i am at DTBA today, i am also selling the idea to anybody who know of chris.

As we know, many people are oversea at the moment thanks to school holiday and won't be back till school start (which is this coming tuesday), so hopefully more would confirm by tuesday's session at DTBA.

At the moment i only got a few maybe (i would say Helen is probably coming and Susan if she does not have anything on at the time), so we'll see.

and i am also going to email the people whoever has played friendly match in my team: danny tan, nick, lam, ketut, schuze c, karen c, patrick k.

so it's 100 and counting .....

MANY THANKS for those who attended the CCC CNY 2008 Dinner, thank you very much...hope everybody like the dishes and i can see all of you enjoy such a great time...especially the karaoke and dance.

See you all tonight. Let's have a GOOD TIME !!! :):):)

Yes, I had an enjoyable time at our CCC Chinese New Year 2008 Dinner just hours ago. Sang many songs, danced many dances and the Dine and Wine was excellent.

Thank you btchia for organising the event. :):):)

And thank you those many who attended.

The children enjoyed themselves dancing. And Lesley_F, although she didn't sing, took the dance floor with her neat cha-cha-cha (footwork) dance. :):):)

And our Sleepie_angel sang her beautiful and heavenly Bee Gees song "Too Much Heaven".

And our hkhung sang his Chinese love songs, accompanied by Sean_F and chialinho.

We must do it again next year. :D:D:D
.

For those who cannot make it this year, hope to see you next year 2009.



.
And for those who could not make it to our dinner celebration this year...

A Happy Chinese New Year 2008 Greeting to all members@CCC !!! :):):)

It's "The Year of the Rat".

May I greet you with 7 wishes:
happiness enough to enjoy the friendship and Badminton@CCC,
health enough to make life a pleasure,
wealth enough to support your needs,
strength enough to battle with difficulties and overcome them,
patience enough toil until some good is accomplished,
charity enough to see some good in your neighbour,
hope enough to remove all anxious fear regarding the future.

Cheers... chris@ccc

we never got to thank Thim for his great organizing (in terms of answering question + collecting money) for the nite. so here goes .... clap clap clap

and the group photo was done after Jim left, mind you, he was in many of the photos (not in this post though)!!

here's my dinner report
- why didn't the karaoke happen a lot earlier. i think you send the wrong guy (namely me) to hurry them up for karaoke, Chris!
- Lesley (u had the right dancing shoes on) and Chris (a very professional host for the nite): great dancing - some of the songs must have 99 out of 100 thanks to the dancing skill
- william + jim: for some reason your song didn't come out. we await your singing skill for next year
- everyone got in the act for some singing and dancing, although (dare i say it!) some more keen to do so
- have you ever seen Chris in a suit? and it has not got the word "coaching" at the back!
- another table had a birthday guy, so they got in the act for some great dancing
- thank god this year it close at 12 rather than 10:30pm
all in all, great fun for everybody. Feel free to add some more comments (or captions for my photos).

Here's a lesson that we could all learn about organizing on my behalf:

Since Helen (notorous last minute canceller according to Richard) and Susan both cancel last minute, they were supposed to call Richard but they didn't so Richard could not come. Of all the DTBA people i have given phone no on this past week (Joe, helen, susan, charles, grace), the only one who would like to come did not ask for my phone no. i told Richard on sunday that i was the organizer so next time ask for me.

did you know that there was a DTBA bring a dish picnic 23/3 (sunday) 10am going on? shame it's on sunday.

in the next batch i will post the dancing photos!

Another organisation afterthoughut (which got nothing to do with the photos):

comes to think of it, it's a shame that many are away and could not come.

Of the people that who came to the dinner, i think the friday wantirna (chrinthi, helmut, keith tan, silva, edward c, kelvin k, luke + schuze, tak) group was under represented. At least most of them knew by email or through friends and decline through chris (sorry about the PM - must make this a formality telling people to not do that to you in forum for next organisation function), so that's good.

well, i reckon we did our best. cheers.

.
Thank you for your photos btchia, :D:D:D

The song was "Blue Suede Shoes" (Although I sang it as "Badminton Shoes").:D:D:D

This song was composed by Carl Perkins and was sung by Elvis Presley.
