The much awaited Pacesetters Club’s annual dinner was over amid serious announcement interwoven with funs and laughter. It was an evening where Pacesetters runners, sponsors and friends get together for a fun-filled and entertaining evening.

The venue for the annual dinner was held at Dynasty Hotel, Jalan Ipoh, Kuala Lumpur. The theme for the evening was blue and white. True to the theme, the setting in the hall was almost blue and white: tables and chairs, simple curtain at the entrance, even the soft drinks served during the function was blue from Pepsi Ice.

There were fewer tables with lesser turn-outs compared to last year. I presume Saturday 18 March 2006 was clashing with Formula 1 happenings and another famous pop group from Hong Kong was performing at Genting Highlands.

The dinner was the most appropriate occasion to announce the new line-up of the EXCO which was just been nominated and accepted a few hours earlier at the same venue. I was sitting at the same table with the capable SH Tan and she assumed two roles: Secretary and Footloose editor.

Annual dinner is also the perfect place to give reorganization to those outstanding runners and appreciation to the sponsors which support the Club for staging numerous running events. Equally important was the get together of the members for the camaraderie.

One of the highlights of the evening was the selection of finalist for Pacesetters Idol. Arising from the qualifying rounds, five finalists were identified from the earlier screening. The five of them were: Jacky Lo, Low Kim Houn, Garrette Yap, Ng Wei Han and Miss Crystal. At one time, the four guy idols were sitting together in one table. That seemed like the four heavenly singers can rival the pro in Hong Kong.

The most hilarious moment was the performance of Elvis and Wong Fei Hong by Alden Yap and Kelvin Ng respectively. Their performance had the audience in stitches when Elvis’s fly was opened and Wong Fei Hong had to sidetrack to assist him to zip up his pants.
