20th Nov last Friday was my company’s Annual Dinner. We just merged with this company so this is basically my first time meeting all the other colleagues, which could be exciting.
It’s exciting because they have a theme this year and the theme is Masquerade Night. To add on to the excitement, my boss sent my name in for the Pageant contest which serves no other purpose than to ridicule us participants for the amusement of other staffs.
Not going to spoil the mood, I went on and rented a costume from a nice old costume shop in Sri Hartamas. Before it started I was afraid that I’m the only cheapo in the list that went on ahead to get costumes just to get the rumoured RM1000 cash prize. (In actual you have to win in all 3 categories to get RM600).
Well, there it goes. I didn’t win anything because it seems that I’m not the only one who wanted the prize and there are people who are willing to go much further than I did.
I was in a costume, but I didn’t take the effort to ridicule myself :p. That explains it, I lost; but with dignity.
But anyway, the highlight of the night is that I was able to take a lot of photos, and I don’t have to pay for them. :D
