Our brave lions from Boon Tiong RC Lion and Dragon Dance Troupe... and their big drums...
Er Gu with one of Seng Poh's resident expert crooners...
This gentleman from China was so lively in sharing his tunes from Northern China that we could not get him in focus! He really livened up with his belting out of Northern Chinese folk tunes! Hope to see more of him too.
There were also the wushu experts from Boon Tiong RC's wushu classes (and yes, they are welcoming students to join)- they may be young, but some of them are National Schools' Champions...
An integral part of the event was of course, the presence of our Advisor, MP A/P Khoo Tsai Kee, who graced the event for the entire night..
Giving out awards...
And Lucky Ang Pows to the tables of Senior Citizens, whose tables were kindly paid for by anonymous sponsors... and who also sponsored the Ang Pows for the needy old folks - THANK YOU TO YOU KIND HEARTED SOULS.... they really did enjoy themselves...
Furthermore, our Advisor also got to meet some folks from the British Council who were running a community workshop - WORKLIFE - at the Society of the Physically Disabled near by, and whose participants from the UK wanted to experience a real Singaporean neighbourhood event....and so they bought a table too!
They tried out Yum Sengs and Yu Sang.... very unique for them.
Another group of guests were the table from the Friends of the Museum - who also wanted to better understand Singaporean community events.
Another uniquely Singapore event is how Belly Dancing has taken off here... and we have a resident sharing her skills on stage for the dinner... and yep, New Year Dinner entertainment need not always be 'traditional'... we can invent our own new traditions!
Maybe Boon Tiong RC may also start Belly Dancing classes for our residents...which by the way... to be a good dancer...
you need to have a belly.... one potential student here....
Then there was the all important lucky draw...
Prizes in all shapes and sizes... sponsored by Boon Tiong RC and Seng Poh RC, as well as from Eu Yan Sang, Estee Lauder, and Khong Guan... Thank you for supporting our event! These 3 brands are also cherished heritage brands of our country...
A little girl with her prize of an electric fan...
More pictures from the dinner tables! Do you spot yourself?
Until Next Year .... HUAT AH!
In the meantime, both RC's look forward to your continued support of our events for you.... look out for something BIG soon.....
