Private Dinner Function went well...

Our performance last night (8 November 2008) at the PORAM Annual Dinner function in One World Hotel went smooth and full of comedy.

There was a Datuk as a guest of honour. The Datuk is a Minister of ????? something! (hehehe... sorry i forgotten the name!)

Although we had some technical problems with the music (i fully blame the soundman for not giving us the best sound), but everything were fixed in just a few seconds.

1st set (during dinner), we played a couple of slow sentimental songs followed by an upbeat numbers. 

After 45 minutes performing, it was time for the guest Artiste to perform on stage. 

Guest artiste was Winnie Kok and her 6 dancers.

1 hour later, we went up to start our 2nd set. 

The 2nd set was a little bit 'kan cheong'.

We went up on stage when the emcee announcing that we're performing again for our 2nd set. After starting our 1st number (a chinese song by Beyond), halfway singing, the emcee suddenly signing to us to stop the music. 

WTF?

So we put down the music, and found out that the emcee wants to announce that the Minister / Datuk wanted to go home! Again WTF. Supposed the Emcee announced the departure of the Datuk BEFORE we go up on stage! 

We hang out at the stairs of the stage when the emcee announcing that the Datuk nak balik. OK lar... So the Datuk make a move, then our function booker came and said, "OKAY, you all can go back!" and we THOUGHT "yeay, we can go home!" and it was only 10:45pm (by right we supposed to finish at 11:30pm) but actually he meant to say "GO BACK ON STAGE!"..... kah kah kah, kui kui kui (see note at the end of the post) !!!

We went back on stage, most of the people started to leave already (that's the best thing about Corporate Annual Dinner, they NEVER stay late!!!), so after about 4 songs, we said good night, adios, bye-bye!

We finished at about 5 minutes after 11pm.  

owh and before we went home, they gave us each a goodie bag from PORAM containing 2 bars of MAY soap, 1 bottle of Lia Sari shampoo, 1 cd casing and 1 mug!

Note:

Kui Kui Kui was the name of the Minister.... Datuk sumthing sumthing KUI. Sorry lar datuk, i couldn't recall your name.
