CCC CNY 2008 Dinner: Let's have a GOOD TIME !!! . Thanks hkhung, See you all tonight. Let's have a GOOD TIME !!! .
Thank you 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. For those who cannot make it this year, hope to see you next year 2009. Pictures will update soon...
Thank you btchia for organising our CCC CNY 2008 Dinner . 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. .
A Happy Chinese New Year 2008 Greeting to all members@CCC . 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 .
CCC CNY 2008 Celebration Dinner Photo.... Hey son, we taking photo,don't keep putting food into mouth. Proffesional in badminton coaching + Proffesional Singer Prepare to take a shot? 1..2..3 Hey Dom, keep your hand off next time !!! Come on, don't be shy just a taking a photo 2 of u. Hello, Looking at me, don't squint at others CCC Idol of 2008 !!!!! Look at Ken face....Full of emotion Let's Cheer.... Dancing king and dancing queen...cha cha cha. Good footwork exercise. Seem they are the dancers of the night !!! Never said tired.
the singing photos 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!
dancing photos would come later... 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.
CCC CNY 2008 Dinner: Thank you for your photos btchia and hkhung . Thank you for your photos btchia, . . Date..... Saturday 2-Feb-2008 Venue... Happy Palace Restaurant, Melbourne Dinner... CCC Badminton CNY 2008 Dinner Party Song..... Hello Dolly This song was composed by Jerry Herman and was sung by Louis Armstrong. Yes, this song was selected to; * To welcome in the Chinese New Year 2008 * To welcome our CCC Badminton diners there * To welcome our other restaurant diners to join us, including the Birthday Boy located at the next table . . Hahaha... this was not a Cha-Cha-Cha song. The song was "Blue Suede Shoes" (Although I sang it as "Badminton Shoes"). This song was composed by Carl Perkins and was sung by Elvis Presley. Yes, this song was selected to bring in all our dancers... and the children really enjoyed it. . . Thank you for your photos too hkhung, Yes, I thought the atmosphere could be heightened only when we start the karaoke. When your photo was taken very late into the night, 11 have already left, including Jim, Cherry, Kian, Gary, Phil and friend, Kent and wife, Thomas and wife and daughter. .
once again, the dancing photo would be coming .... and boy did the atmosphere ever heighten?! anyway, thank you for including the names of the "absent from group photo". Knowing what people would ask, we might have to do a caption for all the people from the group photo later.
some more photos apology for late posting.... you all are welcomed to post any comments for this. cheers
Thanks for sharing all the pics.. ..that's what we're looking for!!..thanks btchia and hkhung for taking and sharing all the pics!! You guys definitely looked to be having such a wonderful time!!..Wow, if only we could listen & watch our chris@ccc sing and dance his night away..(anyone has any videos to share?)..
chris's singing no sorry i didn't record the video. I am sure he would gladly get up and sing on your request at supper time. Given that you are gonna mime the music for him.
