The Pacesetters Club’s annual dinner is on this Saturday 18 March at Dynasty Hotel, Jalan Ipoh, 7pm. And the AGM is on same day, same venue starting at 3pm.
The theme for that evening is Blue and White and the dress code is smart casual with collar. There are quite a number of variations as to how you could achieve these results: you could dye your hair blue and wear white shirt and white pants (attire for guys). That would be meeting requirement of the theme.
Alternatively, you could dye your hair white and you wear all blue clothing. Then there is the split personality type: dye your hair half blue and white; get a shirt of half white and blue. Another simple method is to wear the white Bata shoes when we attent schools last time. As you can see, achieving the theme would be quite easy.
Imagine on that evening, all that you see would either be blue or white. If there were other functions going on, we could be mistaken for navy military crew – where the uniform is also white and blue – having a celebration there.
Oh Yes! I would be taking photos on that evening. I am really excited to see how you gals and guys look other than in running vests and shorts. I believe that you would look much “leng chai” or “leng lui” (handsome guy and pretty gal) compared to when you are donning running apparels.
One request: I would appreciate it if you could shout "KC" when I am holding the camera trying to find someone to take photo. You know, I am a little shy also holding the camera walking around just like those guys selling life insurance policies looking for prospects. However, please don’t snap your finger as though you are attracting attention from waiter/waitress as that would give rise to false alarm and may actually confuse the waiter/waitress.
For those who have not got the tickets in hand, please do a final confirmation with your Team Leaders to secure the entrance tickets. It would be anti-climax having done full preparation for the dinner only to find out that you were not allocated with any ticket.
I remembered many years ago, I attended a Toastmasters Convention at the Palace of the Golden Horses Hotel in Kuala Lumpur. The free flow of beer was served at a subsidized rate. With the presence of beer, the spirits were having lifted in that occasion. I could see the alcohol really enhanced the already fluent public speaking capability of members, and Yam Seng was heard echoing the whole banquet hall.
Do you think beer would be served at discounted rate in this dinner? Better not; runners are health conscious lot. I believe many of the runners would need to start their next race 7 hours after the end of the dinner – The Power Run on Sunday 19 March, of which I would compromise on running and would be there to take photos again.
See ya. Have an enjoyable and fun-filled evening.
