SYDNEY - Celebrating TEMASEK CLUB NSW 25th Anniversary and Singapore's National Day with Principal Sponsor SINGAPORE AIRLINES

SYDNEY - Celebrating TEMASEK CLUB NSW 25th Anniversary and Singapore's National Day with Principal Sponsor SINGAPORE AIRLINES - This event was held at Four Points by Sheraton Darling Harbour Hotel located in Sydney City and it is Temasek Club NSW second major event of the year ever since the Chinese Lunar New Year dinner held earlier this year. Charity proceeds from this event goes to Bear Cottage which provides palliative care, temporary respite, end of life care and bereavement support for families. Bear Cottage is also the only children's hospice in NSW, Australia which provides care for children with life-limiting conditions. More info at http://www.bearcottage.chw.edu.au/

There were many huge sponsors for this event which includes Singapore Airlines, Central Equity, Porsche Willoughby, Canterbury BMW, Dendy Cinemas, OCBC Bank, UOB Bank, Rodgers Reidy Chartered Accountants, Stamford Tyres, YEO's, Central Park, Frasers Property Australia, Alice's Makan, CBD Storage World Square, Mr Espresso, Bottomsup, Asia Pacific Mahjong, GNC Parramatta, PI Legal, INADA Massage Chair, Four Points by Sheraton Hotel, China Republic restaurant, Golden Century restaurant etc. This event also supports and contributes towards the Bear Cottage Charity and everyone is encouraged to buy Raffle Tickets as part of donating to Charity. This event had many attractive Lucky Draw Prizes and there was a live auction for Singapore Airlines Business Class Air Tickets from Sydney to Singapore. I did not bid for the tickets as I cannot leave Australia until I get my PR. So I am waiting... very patiently...

I attended the event together with my lovely girlfriends Angela Deng and Stefanie Lin. We had a wonderful evening catching up over dinner as well as participating actively in the games organized. I have always believed in donating to Charity and giving back to the community, so I bought several Charity Raffle Tickets.

To my great surprise and amazement, I won the Charity Lucky Draw where the prize was a One Night Hotel Stay at Park Royal Darling Harbour Hotel inclusive of Breakfast. I never thought I could win as in reality, the chances of winning was actually very slim as there were around 230 people at this event and many people bought multiple Charity Raffle Tickets. When they called out my number, I leaped out of my chair in great joy! I was so happy! I guess I am a very lucky person! During the last Lunar Chinese New Year dinner event, I also won an Ayam Brand Hamper during the Charity Lucky Draw :)

I am always missing Singapore and my family and one great way to get closer to home was to join the Temasek Club NSW in Sydney where the social club consists of mostly Singaporeans and people who love Singapore! If you are interested to join Temasek Club NSW, do check out http://www.temasekclub.com.au and you are very welcome to join the club :) Special thanks to the wonderful Temasek Club NSW Committee Members who put in their time and effort to organize such wonderful events for us members. Your hard work is much appreciated by me and I look forward to attending more future events :)

One of the highlights of the night was the exciting dance performance by XO CROSSOVER Dance Studio. The energetic and talented dancers perform street dancing and free style dancing. Director - Jaye Sutato is also the person responsible for organizing the KPOP Summit in Sydney. To engage the audience further, the dancers invited the current and ex-Presidents of Temasek Club NSW to compete in a dance battle. It was highly entertaining to watch each of them perform their very best by learning various dance movements from the members of Crossover Dance Group. I must say dancing to music brings great joy to everyone!

Oh yes, before attending the Temasek Club NSW Event, I had a wonderful brunch with Anna and Jinah at Cafe Morso, Pyrmont, Sydney City where we celebrated Ebon's birthday over wine and delicious food. It was a beautiful day to dine by the Pyrmont waters :) After which, I rushed off to send my Lamborghini Gallardo Spider for Oil and Filter servicing as it was due already.

SYDNEY - Temasek Club NSW Chinese New Year Dinner @ Palace Restaurant

SYDNEY - Temasek Club NSW Chinese New Year Dinner @ Palace Restaurant - I was invited to attend this dinner by Angela Lee the Vice President of Temasek Club NSW and it was a fantastic event organized by the Temasek Club Committee. The entire event was well planned and perfectly excited. I enjoyed the delicious dinner, the live singing performance, Lion dance, Lucky draw and Trivia games etc. There were several VIP Guests and even the Singapore High Commissioner - Mr Michael Teo attended this dinner event.

LUCKY DRAW - I won an AYAM Brand Hamper :)

I booked one table under my name and invited 9 other friends to join me. We were seated at table 17 and I was happy as the numbers "1" and "7" are my lucky numbers due to my birthday falling on January 7. During the Lucky Draw, both myself and Stefanie who sat beside me won prizes. I won a huge AYAM Brand Hamper and Stefanie won a $80 Palace Restaurant Dining Voucher. What a great way to start a brand new year! I hope I would continue to be lucky during the rest of the year of 2014.

I managed to have my first "Lo Hei" and the YU SHENG was extremely fresh. I really love the raw salmon and the taste of the special condiments mixed together with it. We had loads of fun tossing the ingredients and reciting best wishes for good luck. It was a 10 course dinner which was filling and extremely delicious. Special thanks to my friends who attended the dinner with me: Tourmaline Tan,  Stefanie Lin, Lynn Chyeah, Claire Jumay, Huei Lay, Nabil Mustafiz, Chris Tseng, Dojee and Richard Eu. We had a fantastic time together and hope to see all of you soon :)

Frasers Property had a whole table to themselves and I was glad to catch up with my ex-bosses Dr Stanley Quek (Chairman of Frasers Property Australia) as well as Mr Marcus Chang (Director of Greencliff). I used to work for Frasers Property part-time as a receptionist at Central Park Sales Gallery when I was studying my Masters of International Business in University of Sydney.

Below are more photos taken throughout the entire night. I was also glad to have met up with Mr Eric Yeo who is the President of Temasek Club NSW. The Best Dressed Award I would definitely give it to Nabil Mustafiz who was elegantly dressed in a well-tailored suit. He's truly a very fashionable lawyer!

It was a huge event where around 200 people attended. The event had many sponsors such as Frasers, SCOOT, Stamford Tyres, AYAM Brand, Overseas Singaporean Unit, Silver Spoon, Palace Restaurant, Reebonz, YEO's and some individual sponsors as well.

The event also helped raised AUD$1157 for 2 Charities - Save the Children Australia and Josephites.

Great work to Temasek Club NSW Committee for organizing such a fabulous Chinese New Year Dinner and getting so many great sponsors! All of us had a wonderful time at the event.
