As I am attached to the hospitality industry, I see this as a typical Malaysian attitude towards planning. Yes, Malaysians for some reason seem to always want "an option" or an "escape clause" in the event that something does come up more important. Planning and booking of trips, domestic and overseas, we always never fail to see a surge in people wanting to go....during the holiday season, school hols, National festivals etc....at the last moment. What I fail to understand is, year in, year out, this happens all the time. Our National holidays (race, festive, cultural) are all fixed at the beginning of each calender year...but people still wait for the last minute rush...more often than not, by then everything is either booked up at super peak prices. Which brings me to this point....Our ANNUAL DINNER! This will be the most happening event for our club members and its happening in just about 32 days time. We have a list and some of you have penned down your names but unfortunately have yet to re-confirm. This is due to the dates being brought forward 1 week earlier...so as not to clash with what might be the eve of Ramadan. The committee has been working tirelessly to put together a spectacular and memorable show for everyone. The venue was specially chosen to accomodate what promises to be a "Glittering" event for STARS! Afterall, we are all of Star quality, arent we? Sponsors are sought for all sorts of prizes for lucky draws and goody bags, door gifts etc.... The pride for the evening, The Roundel Awards take center stage with all kinds of categories to suite different enthusiasts.. Even the entertainment for the night is brought together by our own members and forumers coming together to form The Band....just for this evening.A somesort of a One night performance only...so those who miss this may never get a chance to see/hear the Band in action again. All these fun elements and I have not even mentioned dinner yet. Food good for Kings and Head of States, not only tentalizingly sumptuous but delicately prepared by Master Chefs to excite even your 7th sense.....wherever and whatever that may be for you. And yes, for some the dinner seems a little pricey but hey, who knows, we might just be lucky and get a "reduction"....you just dont wanna be too late to register by then.... Mr XXX has over the last 2 days spammed every recent thread as a reminder but somehow that didnt seem to spur much interest either.....names just trickle in. So, dont be a a typical Malaysian and wait for the last minute again and start working those dates, sked the 16th Sept Saturday in your diary, log into the Annual Dinner 2006 thread, copy the registration list and highlight your name in Bold, Red! - CONFIRMED! Look forward to seeing all of you there! cheersOkow- an ordinary member who's looking forward to a blast of a time!
