Another Party Theme?

On Thursday morning, I had a 3 hours sleep only due to staying up for the English Premier League match between Manchester United and Bolton. Worth staying up as Man Utd won to top the EPL, 3 points ahead of Arsenal. At 9am, went for a dim sum breakfast with my group of friends before embarking to a brainstorming session in organising the church's 20th Anniversary dinner.

Venue was at Kuchai Entrepreneur's Park. That restaurant's business was so good that even getting them to collect money as we wanted to leave took ages.













As the restaurant was not condusive for the brainstorming, we went to Amandesa condominium's poolside cafeteria (at Desa Petaling). One of the committee member stays here.
When we reached the cafeteria, we started to put four tables together as seen in the picture but the person-in-charge told us that we can't do that. HUH? Why?

He said we have to sit at different tables even though we were friends as his boss would reprimand him for allowing people to move those tables / chairs.

Really weird, isn't it? We told him that we were all friends and wanted to sit together to talk and would put all the tables / chairs back to its original positions when we are done.

Then he nodded his head and said "Oh, you all wanted to sit together but please help me put back all the tables / chairs later on".

The meeting proceeded just before 11am and went into serious discussion. With this group, however serious, ridiculous suggestions / ideas would come out from their brains. All talk only but those things would be unachievable.....haha.

Well, we like to dream and when we dream, we dream really beyond what humans could do.

As we went on, we talked about the souvenirs, ticket pricing, venue for the dinner, menu, programmes and lastly the dress code.

Just attended Nuffnang's Pajama Party on 15 March 2008 and did enjoy myself with their programmes / activities. Fresh from that, the committee wanted to have a party theme for it too. Wow, another one?

Various ideas came out:-
* Purple colour theme
* Pink colour theme (pink panther costume accepted)
* Pirates of the Caribbean theme
* Malaysian Culture theme
* The 80s theme
(at this moment, all crazy ideas went way beyond human intelligence)
* Pajama theme (my eyes rolled and nuffnangers may storm into this party)

I told them that I'm very sure that the response may not be good. The church comprise of people of all ages and those uncles / aunties (aged 60 and above) would come in their pajamas? Besides that, some could be conservative and could spoil the night by coming formally dressed for the function.

At last, we settled with this theme - Sports Theme. Immediately, the person staying in this condo went up to her apartment and came down with a shirt. She told us this shirt belongs Lin Dan from China (top badminton player).

Ok ok it would be such dress code that would be allowed.

One fella wanted to come as a chess player. We told him we would ban him from coming in.

Alternatively, a swimmer is also acceptable but you would freeze to death in the restaurant.

I thought of coming as a scuba diver but it could be boiling hot within the scuba suit.

Frontal of the shirt. Must be filled with Lin Dan's sweat too....hehe

We also decided that all committee members would have to be dressed in various sports' referee dressing. Easiest would be football as it would be all black but must come in real football socks / boots.

Referee? Which sports referee has a nice dressing? Baseball?






The meeting ended around 2.15pm and a few of us went up to our friend's house to chit chat. There goes my sleep.

What a view up from the condo where you could see the KL Tower and the Petronas Twin Towers.
On this supposedly nice day, we were supposed to enjoy the public holiday and went straight home for a rest.

As there was some rain between here and there, at one point I ran a bit say 10m - 15m distance. Do you know what? That day was the dog shit and now, the short distance slow run just to avoid the rain. I pulled my left thigh's muscles again. Oh no!

When I went for dinner, was walking as if one leg was in pain. Can't even take a full stride when I walked. My friend said "You are getting old lah". Must admit but then how could it be when I go to gym regularly. This is terrible. How am I going to participate in the dance drama this Easter Sunday?

That was my day on a public holiday. Told you that busy days are coming up again.
