Lions Club 20th Anniversary

And so I have been bz bz bz...

It is the 20th Anniversary of our Lions club and I was tasked with the job of making our 20th anniversary video. 20 years leh.. so it is very hard work lor:)

Since already done.. put it here for you to view.. view only if you have 20 min to spare.. hahahaha ;)


Have to load the pictures somewhere and edit this and that and plan the sequence... and then the website I was using was down.. and the pictures were missing... And then there was some big hoo ha happening on the organizing side and so there was alot to be done last minute as well... Plus I had to help Max write his speech...

I initially wanted to bring Ace along to the dinner cos I felt he was such an integral part of our club as well given that he has been attending Lions Club events since he was 3 or 4 years old...

He has helped to shout out numbers at our Hotmeals... Helped out at  the various flag days in 2014 and 2015.... he has helped to give out water at the Mega 5000 Lunch setup... he has befriended Haikal gor gor as part of our befriending work.. He has taken part in our various fundraisers such as charity yoga class... he helped to walk old grannies home and pack oranges for their goody bags during our annual CNY lunches...

However, we were short on seats and Max felt since it was such a formal event, better not to bring kids along.. and so we decided we will keep him at home.

Alas, the haze came.. which meant he need not go for tennis lessons and then Ah Yee was bringing Cay and our other club members brought their grandchildren.. and then we decided that we will bring Ace along after all..

It was such a mad rush for us that day as he had swim lessons and we had lots of prep work to do... And Ace says his long jeans are too tight and wanted to wear berms.. but his dad says it is formal and dun want him to do that... to the extent his dad suggested we go buy now... and we were already late for setting up...

In the end, we asked him to just squeeze into his long jeans lah.. turns out leh, is he can wear.. just tat cannot run around so freely only:)


And since he is there, has to contribute lah.. I asked him to take care of the video and make sure the video runs... But if you notice the little nerf gun on the side, you probably can tell he did not do a good job cos he was bz looking for things to shoot! Haha!

So rare we dress nice nice leh.. Feel like taking wedding picture like tat.. hahahaha...  I was just telling my friend how my whole outfit is sort of from other pple... Hairband my own.. Dress borrowed from fren.. shawl my own, Bag given by a fren.. watch given by a fren.. shoes, given by a fren.. hahahaha;)

Because we were seated at VIP table.. so I tried to dress up a little more lah... but end up, most people were in short dresses... hahahaha.. but well, better to overdress than underdress...

Time for the Peng sisters to camwhore:)

THe two cousins were stuck together that night.. hahaha:)

All in all, quite a fun night. by the time we ended.. Ace already low batt lor.. :) hahahaha.. But I am glad we brought him and that the event was successful:)

I was pretty amused though when Max finished his speech and everyone said it was a great speech ( i am quite proud of how beautifully written it is as well) , he will say that his wife wrote it and all the VIP men seated at our VIP table will say.."Oh surely you must have given her pointers to follow..." Why is it so difficult to just accept that a woman did the job well? hahahaha.. But maybe they were being very keqi... but fact of the matter is.. Max just left me to it and he gave me no pointers ok :) But leh, Max says have to give him credit for using the right intonation to deliver it beautifully!:) hahaha...

Anyway, Happy Birthday to Arcadia lah.. here is to many more years to come...

Hopefully these two young lads will grow up into committed and passionate lions like their dads too:)
