Holiday Parties
Dan and I had a great weekend with two different holiday parties to attend. Our first party on Friday night was at the Canadian High Commissioner to Singapore's place. All dressed up with the secret address in hand we schmoozed with fellow Canadians over wine, horderves and desserts.
Saturday night was Oscar Night for the CIS staff party held at Raffles Marina. Across the water we saw Malyasia. This event was also fantastic. Everyone was shocked to see me with straight hair for the first time - I miss my own straightening iron! Oscars were presented throughout the evening including the Oscar I presented with Rachel - I as the tallest girl and she as the shortest. We had a fun little act we did together which received lots of laughs. I had to take my shoes off!
Both of these evenings were great fundraisers. The proceeds for Friday night's event went to KK Women's and Children's Hospital. On this upcoming Saturday we'll be involved with helping to deliver the bears collected by "Santa" last week to the children in the hospital. Saturday's Oscars raised money for Tabitha, a house building project in Cambodia. Daniel and I added a Thai meal cooked at our place to the silent auction for that evening and were able to raise $140 for it. We also made a bid or two ourselves on some of the items. We lost out on winning the Canadian Maple syrup...but did win a gift certificate to a restaurant here in Singapore - Brewerkz. Saturday night raised enough for Tabitha to build 3 houses.
Here are our Christmas decorations in our place!
