Early X'mas Dinner Party

Yesterday we had our training session cum X'mas dinner party. But in the early early morning at 7am, had to go down to the counter to do stock take. MY GOSH!!!

Anyway... We had like half day before part timer came to relief us and we could leave for the training cum dinner.

The location was in Mezza9 in Hyatt Hotel.

Training was held in Mezza9's wine cellar. Hahaha...
No, we were not being trained how to appreciate wine. I wish it was though...
We were having training on the upcoming session's looks and have a preview of all the new stuff coming up.
The lighting inside seems to auto dim after a period of time. Which made the place, so cold, so dim and very tempting to sleep.

After training, we had the x'mas gift exchange. So it was done like all our names were placed in a box. Person 'A' will pick a name out, say Person 'B'.
'A' will exit the cellar, choose their gift and proceed too the dining area.
'B' will come up and pick out name, say Person 'C' and the cycle goes on.

To walk to the dining area, we had to go pass the martini bar, which looks really nice!
So we got settled and the food started coming shortly.

The menu...


We ordered our martinis...
Cheers to all!


Didn't take food shots this time cause its shared food. Not so nice to keep hungry colleagues waiting while I snap away ya?

By dessert when all were already quite full and busy chatting away, I couldn't help but snap a pic of the dessert which was exactly like how the menu described it as. An Extravaganza!

But beware, the second item from the bottom row was damn powerful! I was the first one from my table to try that. So I used my spoon to scoop some and all the syrup started oozing out and overflowing. I was like "ohh shite shite, don't waste the syrup" and I started scooping more syrup to my spoon.
Then... thinking it was maple syrup I immediately tried it.
Ohhh... My.... GAWDDDDD!!!
I was practially drinking thick alcohol syrup!!!
It tasted damn concentrated somemore! Kinda gives the "wasabi" effect but this one goes up to the nose and down the throat. FWAHHH!!!

Ehhh... Again I don't know who else brought digi cam. But I think I've already consolidated most of the pics ba.
Then I made them into yet another collage.
Suddenly I like making all these collages. Its like making and fitting my own imaginary jigsaw.
