A friend in dubai posted some info about a National Day Celebration. I thought since we would be back in dubai by then, maybe we can just attend lah.. it sounds like it will be good fun. Max, however, was not so keen cos he doesnt really enjoy these activities and only goes cos I am going.. besides, he said he attended a previous one in AD and it wasnt all that good...
But since my kakis here in Dubai are also keen to go, we bought tickets and arranged to meet up at the party lor:)
Actually the party was quite thoughtfully thought out:)
Someone sponsored a singapore flag cookie.. which was also very tasty!:)
The tickets say smart casual in red and white and just to get into the festive mood, I even painted my nails red:)
We love Singapore!:)
Wanted to take pic of max and Ace but Ace was just busy checking out what is in the goody bag (which is actually the NDP gift pack with some of the ndp goodies..)
We even sang the national anthem and said the pledge before the party start. Feels a little strange to be doing that we so many fellow Singaporeans in a foreign land.. but nice and warm..
Table decor also sponsored.. nice boh.. orchids with candles:)
They even had a cake cutting ceremony where they invited all the kids to go cut cake and the kids recieved some ice cream vouchers too:) My son happily just run to front of stage to cut cake without us.. My friend was like, "Wah, your son so brave ah.. go by himself.." And he was quite lucky lor. Because they din have enough vouchers but he still did get one:)
As the next day is a school day and Ace's bed time was actually 7.30pm and the party is starting at 7.30pm, we decided that we will leave around 9pm.
BUT.. we met a long lost friend! And so our plans changed immediately!:)
Guess who is the host of the party? It's our friend and Max's soccer buddy, Justin! Wahahaha. so surreal to meet him here in Dubai lor:) The two botaks look like long lost brothers:)
And because of Justin, I tell you, the night is dam funny lor!
First he looked for children between 6-7 and picked Ace to ask him a simple question...
Then he asked Ace wat his ambition was and Ace said in front of all the ambassadors and VIPs tat he wants to be a spy!:) wahahahahahahahahahhahaa:)
Ace very happy with his present.. it is a thumb drive and he says I am not to use it.. cos he will use it to save files.. (yeah, like he got computer and got files to save. Next day he came home we went to show off to his friends liao...)
Then Justin made everyone play games and he cracked so many jokes along the way, I was literally laughing from 9om all the way to 10.30... i never laugh so long and so hard for such a long long time! It is indeed good to see him again.. and I must say, the success of an event is truly in the gem of an MC he is!
Before we went home, we did a WE ARE SINGAPORE singalong session..
Then home sweet home lor... my son fell asleep in the car:) wahahahaha...
