for all the glitz, glam and granduer, the night of 23/03/07 was very much a beeker night. this date marked the night where sheares hall gathered together to celebrate our very best, by bestowing on them awards and expressing our gratitude towards their contribution in hall. it was a night of passion and pleasure, filled with the tremendous promise.
last night's event was hosted at hilltop garden restaurant situated at bukit batok. on first mention, many a shearite was unsure of the quality and ambience of the place. Oh were they so very very wrong. the DnD Committee, led by our very own Andre, and with the support of many other beekers, namely - jiesheng, sab, nic choy, joseph, denise, aloy, edmund, kanghao was at their wits end after their annual bash did no work to plan and thus money was in short supply. not giving up the fight, they dug deep and managed to come up with a more than adequate plan for the evening. kudos to the DnD Comm for their efforts all these months. once again, well done!!! :)
not only was the committee beeker intensive, the night was to be as well! following the trend from the previous year, the beeker section of the crowd was the most active in the lucky draw segment, with no less than 4 of the lucky draw prizes falling into beeker hands... with teckwee winning the 2nd prize!!! woo!!! haha.. a lucky draw indeed.. For US! :)
it was also heartening to see the award for team of the year going to the touch ruggers with the team being 90% block B. i must say that team captain gy has done a fantastic job at hustling each and everyone one of his team to play at their optimum. there were also awards for the CAB, where zhiqian, tongzilla, jason and kimberly bagging their gold awards that evening as well. supporter of the year was not spared as nithya, who was the most avid team sheares fan, was recognised with that prestigious award. also, both eric and xiuyi got a golds for their performances in IHG and IVP - no surprises there! :P
*edit* not that i want special mention.. i paiseh to put my own name CAN!??! T_T
but the real excitment for the night was the crowning of the new mr and ms sheares hall. our representatives were samuel (ah tiong) and lydia, both lively and confident individuals. their competition wasn't easy, but they lived up to their beeker potential by sweeping the judges off their feet with their witty answers and confident personalities. as guoyong mentioned to me before supper, "after 3 years... its has finally come back to block b!" and yes... so it has. ah tiong and lydia has done us proud by bringing the titles of mr and ms sheares 2007 back to beeker territory. they have not only proven that beekers are a force to reckon with on the sports scene, but we do too have beauty, brains and brawn.
fotos to come once they are consolidated. :)
Proud to be a Beeker,
