Went out for my last social event of the year after staff meeting on the 3oth Dec 09. It was good!

Received an sms on the 29th from Dan, happily oblighted forgeting that I’ve got a movie appointment. *wah, super paiseh to U4! I love you guys still!

Made calls, got the hat decided on what to wear, contemplated whether to bring my DSLR or not and I was on my way. 🙂

–

Used the Google Map services on my Marilyn and found our way there.  Hmm… didnt realize that it was nearer to City Hall.

Was approaching the entrance when I saw 2 other people (bloggers I believe) one with hat and the other w/o coming towards our direction.

HeyHey! Cheap Thrill Happiness of knowing they are going for the party. 😀

Asked them if they know which part of  SAM it is held at, they replied no. So barge in and asked the receptionist. Got the direction and went~

For a while… I wish I didnt bring my hat… (For a while. :D)

Met molemole and eevon at the table,

molemoles very pretty, Eevon too, no doubt abt it!     *cute hat!

Loved the tones on her attire

n then these 3 girls caught my attention!

I love the hat! and wig! My Tian!
It must have been too long since I dyed my hair…
Loved the whole Masquerade feeling of it.

Then was about to enter the main gathering area when I saw this person. Wah, nice height, good dressing sense, very appropriate tilt in the hat… hmm…
So I ask, “Hey, are you with them. You look so cool!”
and so here we go~ With Dan. (Turns out Dan knew him briefly)

Ladies and gentleman, the man behind www.ladyironchef.com

Brad Lou                       @ladyrionchef

He is well dressed, articulates well and has a good height. A Man with vision. *Visit his site when u are hungry… *SlURp!

and a man with many cameras. 😀 Kelvin Lim

*Cowboy shooting Pirate. 😀 look at the smiles on their face.

Saw a row of hats. 🙂 nicely done, so asked for a photo~

Came early cos a friend wanted to get Goodie Bag. Its the early bird thing.
So went around, started on the contest, snap here, snap there,
at the main gathering area, at the contest gallery.

One of the pieces at the main gathering area

The simple and precise strokes that brings out the features. *Nice!

Oh, and we met Jerrick of tech65.org at the gallery.

One of the questions requires us to look for a painting that is done with “One round of M-16” on Sandpaper.
Seriously… I was looking for a painting with maybe something like 16 holes?
but…
It was actually…

O_O Its jaw-dropping…
Cool huh? Here’s the description.

Nope, Dan wasnt laughing at the painting, we just had alot of fun.
Soon we’re done with that gallery and we went back to the main hall.

Some snaps of the gorgeous hats.

Then we heard, “BLOGGERS! Pls Come iN!”

Oh Great! the party has began!
First Up, Ben the host.

😀 Like some hot-Host getting ready and the staff hiding outside the frame passing him rundowns. 😀

Dude,  you look great with a smile.

and the party began with Black Diamond Ninjas 🙂

and Only After Coffee

This is Justin, the leader of the band Only After Coffee

🙂 its never easy to maintain and uphold a band. A group of 5 persons coming together. Music, it requires co-ordination, discipline, and we talk about 5 different character, style and lifestyle.

Salutes the Bands!

Soon after the performance, and bingo game,

(Nice Shot Kris!)

its prize and award presentation time. 🙂

She won the craziest hat award. Goodness… I wonder if its heavy.

Dan won a Holga!!!!

I won. 🙂

Wanna show appreciation to the 24seven comms team for the efforts, and even into the small detail.

They provided Blog Cards for us. 🙂 Personally, I dont have a name card to give. This is very thoughtful of them. 🙂 *ClApS clAps CLaPs!*
It takes a high C person to think of this.

Group Photo!

Snapped this at departure. 🙂 SAM had patterns flashed on their building at night. Got “FeELING” siA
